"What's wrong!?"

Ye Feng hurriedly ran forward and asked...

Liu Sisi wiped the rain off her face, panting, and pointed behind her, saying:

"The water...the water has risen...up to the mountain, and there are crocodiles..."

"What!?"

Ye stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief... He could understand the presence of crocodiles...

After all, with the water level rising, these creatures' activity area has greatly increased...

But how could the water have flooded here so quickly?

"Where?! Take me there now!"

Before Liu Sisi could even catch her breath, Ye Feng pulled her back...

Before long, the two ran to a basin, and the familiar sound of flowing water reached Ye Feng's ears once again...

He clearly remembered that he had been to this place before…

He passed by here on his way to retrieve the backpack of the dead man who had been eaten by a wild boar.

He was puzzled at the time; this place was clearly on a mountain, so why was there a basin...?

Most importantly, this basin is more like a dried-up riverbed carved out by a river…

Now he finally understood: this place had been flooded long ago, which was why the terrain had become like this…

At this moment, Fu Changxiong and the others stood on the riverbed, a dead crocodile lying at their feet…

It's clear from the blood-stained arrow in Qi Xiaoyan's hand that she killed the crocodile...

"What's going on!?"

Upon seeing Ye Feng, everyone immediately came forward to greet him…

Qi Xiaoyan quickly said:

"We were originally looking for a high vantage point, but when we passed by here, we spotted several crocodiles..."

I was afraid they would attack us, so I shot one dead and sent the rest back into the water.

I was wondering... why there were crocodiles on this mountain, but when we got here, we found out..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the river in front of him, which was about fifty or sixty meters wide…

Ye Feng observed carefully for a moment and found that the water flow here was much gentler than on the hillside...

Furthermore, the flow rate and the rate of ascent are relatively slow, which further illustrates…

The riverbed here was formed by years of rainwater soaking it...

Therefore, it can be concluded that this rainy season must have occurred here more than once in the past…

Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt a pang of despair and slowly looked up at the sky…

"Everyone, it seems that God doesn't intend for us to live..."

Hearing this, and seeing his increasingly grim expression, everyone panicked…

Fu Changxiong immediately asked anxiously:

"Brother, let's find a place to move right away. It'll be too late if we wait any longer!"

Liu Sisi also said:

"Yes, there are mountains all around here, and there must be quite a few high points."

If we move quickly, we should be able to finish the move within a day.

"Isn't that what we've been doing before?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng pursed his lips and shook his head…

"It's no use. This method might have worked a few days ago..."

But now… even if we find a new high ground, it's all in vain; we have no chance to move there…

"Why!?"

Almost in unison, everyone asked…

Ye Feng pointed to the river ahead, his expression unusually serious…

"As you know, the surrounding area is full of mountains, so the terrain at the junction of these mountains must be very low..."

Just like the situation we're facing now, there's clearly a small hill on the other side...

But now there is a river in the middle, which means that all the low-lying connecting points have been flooded.

If I'm not mistaken, we are now... surrounded by water from all sides.

Even crocodiles have swum this far, so other aquatic predators must be roaming nearby...

Therefore, even if we find a new campsite, it will probably be very difficult for us to move there.

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned, realizing the seriousness of the problem…

Fu Changxiong, however, wore a troubled expression, looking deeply saddened, and timidly asked:

"Are we really just waiting to die?"

Seeing his dejected expression, Ye Feng rolled his eyes...

"I'm just explaining the current situation to you. Do I look like someone who's just waiting to die?"

After she finished speaking, Liu Sisi seemed to understand something and immediately asked:

"Brother Feng, are we going to build a raft next?"

"Um."

Ye Feng sighed deeply…

"There's nothing we can do. Fate won't let us go. We have no choice but to compromise, give up here, and go find a better place."

Speaking of this, he was indeed quite helpless, because the resources here are really good.

The building materials needed for survival, as well as the various plants and animals to eat, and even nuts, are extremely abundant...

He truly didn't want to give up this place unless absolutely necessary...

"Everyone! The situation is urgent, and I can't think of a better way..."

I estimate that if this rain continues for another day, it will flood the area in front of our treehouse. Of course, it could also be even sooner.

So! Now you need to get ready quickly. Go back right now, dismantle the treehouse, chop wood, and collect as much vine as possible.

We have 5 people and so many tools; we need to build a very large raft to support them.

Remember this! We only have 24 hours at most! Act now!

"good!"

The group responded with a shout and then quickly headed back to the camp…

After running for a while, Qi Xiaoyan suddenly pointed at the crocodile...

"So you don't want the crocodile either?"

Ye Feng stared at the crocodile, which was neither too big nor too small, for a moment...

"Let's get rid of it first..."

After saying that, the two carried the crocodile all the way back to the camp...

After that, Ye Feng didn't start any work, but quickly ran to the edge of the hillside again...

He needed to figure out his surroundings, even after the raft was built…

We definitely need to choose a relatively safe waterway to travel on…

Therefore, he decided to climb to a high vantage point to overlook the entire hillside...

And the best vantage point is in the trees…

Soon, Ye Feng entered the woods by the hillside and came to the foot of a nearly mature giant eucalyptus tree…

Although it is a sub-adult, it is already over 20 meters tall, making it the tallest tree in this forest.

Ye Feng immediately put down his backpack and used a leg-pushing climbing technique, pushing off with both hands and feet, to climb towards the top despite the heavy rain…

Upon arrival, he disregarded the swaying of the treetops and began to carefully examine his surroundings…

Although he had expected the outcome, he was still shocked by what he saw with his own eyes…

The once towering mountains have now become a dozen or so individual hills.

The yellow river water seeped into every nook and cranny, invading every low-lying area.

It's like several cracks that separated all the hillsides.

Some small hills were even submerged, leaving only a small mound of earth of a few dozen square meters...
