Little Crocodile
Little Crocodile is the ferocious Black Dragon Mountains expert whom Fang Xiufeng subdues, seals, and assigns to protect Meng Hao.
Biography
Subdued beneath the Violet Sea
The crocodile first erupts from the Black Dragon Mountains as an enormous, brutal creature. Fang Xiufeng's sword qi pursues it through the Violet Sea and leaves it convinced that death is unavoidable. It first admits that it does not qualify as a Dao Protector, then bargains for life by offering to become a mount. Fang Xiufeng converts the sword qi into a seal, shrinks the creature, and brings it before Meng Hao. (Chapters 797–799)
Assigned to Meng Hao
Fang Xiufeng leaves the sealed crocodile in Meng Hao's courtyard and later formally assigns it as a temporary Dao Protector for the journey away from South Heaven. The creature remains terrified of Fang Xiufeng and cautious around Meng Hao, shrinking enough to sit on Meng Hao's palm and hide in his sleeve. Its service is compulsory at first, but its repeated combat actions make the protective role real. (Chapters 802 and 888)
Battles between worlds and within the Fang Clan
During the teleportation ambush, Meng Hao releases the crocodile against an Immortal assassin. Its opening tail strike wounds the man, continued lunges prevent retreat, and a bite shatters his leg so Meng Hao can finish him. On Planet East Victory it again emerges against Fang Hong's faction. Two masked experts nearly annihilate it before direct-line reinforcements intervene, after which Meng Hao uses it as a sparring benchmark while measuring his own stage-five-Immortal combat power. (Chapters 890–921)
Appearance and personality
At full size it is an enormous crocodile with an explosive ferocious aura and a powerful tail. The seal can reduce it to roughly three meters or smaller for travel. It is opportunistic enough to bargain for survival and ingratiating when faced with overwhelming power, yet becomes relentless once released against an enemy, pinning wounded opponents rather than fleeing. (Chapters 797–798 and 890–891)
Abilities and cultivation
Immortal-level body and tail strike
The crocodile is explicitly comparable to a stage seven Immortal. Its tail releases a surge of physical energy capable of injuring a black-robed Immortal in one direct hit, while its jaws can crush a cultivator's leg. This is close-range force; it must reach and remain on an opponent, and two coordinated masked experts are enough to place it in mortal danger. (Chapters 890–920)
Size transformation and seal
Fang Xiufeng's sealing mark suppresses and shrinks the crocodile, allowing it to enter Meng Hao's sleeve and function as a concealed reserve. The transformation improves transport and surprise but reflects external control: Fang Xiufeng imposes the seal, and Meng Hao stores or releases the creature rather than the crocodile acting with complete independence. (Chapters 798, 802, and 888)
Protector and combat benchmark
Its best tactical role is interception. It occupies one Immortal while Meng Hao handles other assassins, blocks escape after the target is injured, and screens Meng Hao in clan conflict. Meng Hao later spars with it to establish that his own battle prowess has reached the stage-five-Immortal level, showing that its stable strength can serve as a practical comparison. (Chapters 890–921)
