"A name? I am quite good at giving names," Tang Shaoyang smiled as he looked at the cat. As he thought of a name, he remembered the first creature he named. It was the Demonic Ape, and he named him Pride.

"Let's see, you are quite a glutton… What about Glutton?" He looked at his lap, and the Dark Predator looked at him too. He could not see the reaction of the cat whether it liked it or not, "Nope, Glutton sounds uncool, what about Greed instead?" Two different words but had the same meaning.

Tang Shaoyang looked at the cat, and it nodded. The cat seemed to agree with the second choice, "Then Greed it is,"

Tang Shaoyang squinted his eyes as he looked at his Companion's window status. Even though he did not know what these skills did, he was sure that none of them were offensive skills. Of course, some of the skills could be used to be offensive.

—Don't forget he is still in the Adolescent Stage, what do you hope from not being a grown-up beast? No, in fact, this little one is amazing already. It's just that your standard is too high.

Rosalie reminded Tang Shaoyang that the Dark Predator was not fully grown up yet. The evolution stage was still telling him that it was adolescent instead of showing the real stage like the other beasts.

'That's true,' He had to agree with that. This was quite amazing already as it is. He just needed to raise it until it reached adulthood. By that time the Dark Predator should be showing his full potential if it was a strong beast.

Right after he formed the Companion Pact with Greed, Aki entered the house and bowed toward him, "We are ready to move, My Lord,"

"Good! Let's not waste any more time, we will move right away!" Tang Shaoyang went out of the house. The hundreds of mixed beastmen were standing in line. He then walked in the direction toward the swamp area followed by his subordinates. The swamp was not far from where they were. Around an hour of marching, they reached the swamp area.

The green water along with the aquatic plants that grew above it. The trees were sparsely located, decorating the swamp with a little fog floated above the water. With his sharp hearing, Tang Shaoyang could hear the mixture of heartbeats of his subordinate. There was a big spike in his ears. From that, he could tell that his subordinate was nervous at the sight of the swamp. Aki was not an exception.

It seemed the swamp had become a place that was dreaded by the resident of the Gigante Forest, "You guys can wait here, I will fight the Gator Tribe alone. I will notify you if I have killed them all,"

He put some consideration before he decided to not bring them into the swamp. That was because the terrain was bad for those who lived on the land. The water in the swamp was quite deep. That would hinder their movement. He was confident to fight against the whole Gator Tribe but he was not confident that he would be able to protect them from the Gator Tribe if all of them entered the swamp.

The terrain surely benefited the Gator Tribe, and it would slow down the others. Getting them into the swamp was a bad idea.

"But…" Chief Lauri did not agree with the decision. For the first time, he tried to voice out his objection yet it was cut short by Tang Shaoyang, "There's no but. Bringing you guys with me is the same as bringing you guys to your death. The terrain is unfavorable for you and the others. You should think about your own people too, Lauri. You might survive the battle but what about your kind?"

Chief Lauri was silenced by that. It was a lie if he was confident to win against the Gator Tribe. He had the same thoughts as Aki that they could not win against the Gator Tribe. However, since Lord Tang decided to fight them, he would support his Lord for his decision.

Tang Shaoyang waved his hand and entered the swamp area. The water reached his thigh even with his three meters stature. He was about to take the first step until a peal of laughter rang.

"Hahahaha…" The laughter came from the deeper part of the swamp. Tang Shaoyang and the others looked toward the direction where the laughter came from. Fifty meters away from Tang Shaoyang, something emerged from the green water. It had the head of an alligator with a humanoid body but with the original alligator skin. The green-colored gator emerged and opened its mouth, laughing complacently.

After the first laughing green-colored gator, more gators resurfaced from the water. Their skin color was similar to the water so he did not notice it. However, Tang Shaoyang was surprised that they just came out like that instead of setting up an ambush for him. That was perfect camouflage for them, and yet they wasted their chance.

'He is the Chief of the Venomous Gator Clan, My Lord,' Tang Shaoyang then heard Aki's voice in his head. He was surprised to hear the voice and looked back. The rat beastmen nodded at him.

"You made the right decision to not bring them with you but it is also unfortunate that the Gator Tribe will never spare their enemy. You and your people will die whether entering our territory or not," The Chief of the Venomous Gator Clan showed the rows of teeth in his mouth. Apparently, that was how a Gator grinning.

"Oh, is that so?" Tang Shaoyang smiled back, showing his teeth as well, "I don't need to bring my men because I am alone enough to destroy Gator Tribe," As he said that, he cast [Basic Detection] on the Chief of the Venomous Gator Clan.
