Chapter 169: The River
"Let's go, now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Pannis lurked in the bushes with his eyes closed, his right hand stretched back, one by one curling his fingers, and when the fifth finger was also curled, and his right hand was finally clenched into a fist, he suddenly opened his eyes violently and shouted in a low voice: "Thirty seconds, the fastest speed." ā
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures jumped out of the woods behind Pannis, each with their bodies low, their upper bodies completely hidden in the bushes, unless they looked down from a high place, they could only see the shrubs swaying slightly, and they could not see the fast-moving figures in them. High in the canopy, several monkeys overlook the moving crowd below, and their mouths let out the same piercing screams as always, similar scenes that monkeys can see almost every day, except that in the eyes of the monkeys, the creatures hiding today are more special, standing and walking on two feet.
"Quick, faster. Only Pannis didn't move, still lurking in the bushes, his eyes narrowed into a line, and his mouth kept urging: "Fifteen seconds, hurry up, Vivien will work harder, Lina will help the fawn's head, and it will fall out of the backpack." Ten seconds, it's going to run out of time, Cornaide, don't drag behind, rush to the front, five seconds, okay, it's my turn. ā
It wasn't until the last person reached their destination that Pannis moved, and the distance that the others had covered in twenty seconds had been reached, and it took less than five seconds for the others to reach the others. A few dozen meters in front of the bushes is a dry river, and I don't know why there is no one in the river, leaving only a deep riverbed and smooth rocks all over the riverbed. At the last moment, Pannis slid his back against the riverbank all the way to the bottom of the riverbed and made a triumphant gesture to the others: "The time is just right, I have seen them return." ā
"The calculations are accurate. Vral leaned on the bank of the river and poked his head out, watching where everyone had just been, as a group of reptiles slowly crept into view, whipping the bushes around them with their tails. This group of creatures is very similar to crocodiles, slightly taller than ordinary crocodiles, the hard skin is green, it is difficult to see in the jungle, compared with ordinary crocodiles, their biggest difference is their limbs and tails, their claws are much sharper than crocodiles, their limbs are much more flexible, and their tails are more powerful than crocodiles, and they can easily break a large tree with a diameter of one meter when used to whip.
There were about seventeen or eighteen of them, and they were supposed to be a large family, with the largest being four meters long and the smallest being less than a meter, as if they had just been born.
"Sure enough, it's a group of jungle crocodiles. Vral looked at it for a moment and returned to the bottom of the river, then nodded to Pannis, "How much longer?" ā
"Three minutes of transition time. Pannis took out the timer and calculated, and replied affirmatively: "After three minutes and eighteen seconds, the next step will be fine, and everyone will be fine." ā
"Nothing is a problem. Catherine replied on behalf of the girls, "But is it really okay for us to hide in a river so close to them? ā
"The jungle crocodile is a very, very lazy creature. "The way they hunt is to lie on their stomachs in the bushes, use the camouflage color of their skins to ambush their prey, wait for the prey to reach their mouths, and they don't bother to hunt the prey as long as it is a little farther away." So they're usually not a threat, but now it's just after their hatching period is over, and the newborn Jungle Crocodile is right next to them, at which point they become extremely berserk, indiscriminately attacking any creature they can attack. However, this indiscriminate attack is limited to their line of sight, as long as it is safe to avoid their line of sight. ā
"It's no wonder that we chose to hide in dry rivers. Catherine said thoughtfully, "But will this habit be taken advantage of by other demonic beasts to lurk in the river and ambush them in turn?"
"They're not stupid either, you can just go up and see their path. In addition to ambushing their prey, they patrol their territory, the belt of bushes, every hour or so. "During the patrol, they will choose to stay away from places with height differences, so that they will not be ambushed by enemies hiding in the river, even if they are really ambushed, they are not afraid, the skin of these creatures is stronger than your fighting shield, and it is not easy to hurt them." ā
"Don't talk yet. Pannis, who had been listening to distant voices with his eyes closed, clapped his hands at this time, not at all worried about alarming the jungle crocodiles dozens of meters away, and said to everyone: "The situation has changed, thirty-four seconds earlier than expected, so it's time to prepare." ā
"Are you going to start?" said Vral with a little concern as his thin eyebrows furrowed together, "If you are more than thirty seconds ahead now, the time for the next few steps will ......"
"Don't worry, I've prepared for a minute error in my plan. Pannis shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's a stupid thing that only a novice would do when making a plan, and I won't make such a low-level mistake." ā
"Kyle is Kyle. Corenda stood on tiptoe and patted Pannis's shoulder, giving him a thumbs up and saying, "I haven't seen you for more than a hundred years, and you're still so reliable." It's so comfortable to have an adventure with you, you don't have to worry about any difficulties at all, and you can solve everything in the simplest and most accurate way. ā
"No one can solve everything. Pannis's face froze, and he sighed and said, "Even a god can't do it, not to mention that I'm just a mortal." Okay, ready to start, remember the previous plan, this time we don't have time to adjust, we need to complete three steps at once. ā
"Ready to go. "Everyone makes a gesture of confirmation to Pannis, indicating that they are ready. Pannis's eyes were fixed on the timer, but his ears were flapping slightly, a sign that he had used his hearing to the extreme. After silently counting the seconds, Pannis suddenly waved his hand: "Let's go." ā
This time, led by Vral, everyone did not hide their figures, but followed the queen closely, as if they were afraid of slowing down for a second. Because everyone had already heard it very clearly, a thunderous roar came from far away.
The roar drew nearer and closer, and when the maidens turned back for the last time, they saw a silver line of water rushing with a raging wave, rushing in the thunderous sound of the water. All obstacles in the river were torn to pieces by the sudden current, and they were wrapped in the water and washed away the dry bottom. (To be continued.) )
