Chapter 5 Successfully escaped danger, Zuo Xi passed
"Ga ga ga" Zuo Xi shouted, as if expressing something.
Lin Yaoyao didn't understand anything, so she could only pretend not to hear and continued to swim towards the middle of the river with determination.
Lin Yaoyao finally stopped when she was four or five meters away from the shore.
She looked back at the lion wandering and roaring on the shore, her heart filled with relief.
As expected, it didn't dare to go into the water and could only stare blankly at the shore.
Lin Yaoyao patted Zuo Xi's head gently and said soothingly, "It's okay, it can't get through, don't worry."
However, just as he finished speaking, a deafening roar came from the distance.
The roar seemed to come from an ancient giant beast, which was creepy.
Immediately afterwards, a huge crocodile emerged from the bottom of the water with great momentum.
The huge body, the hard scales, and the terrifying fangs all made Lin Yaoyao's face change drastically.
"There's actually such a big creature in this river!"
Lin Yaoyao couldn't help but scream out in surprise, her heart filled with shock and fear.
Could it be that this was the reason why Zuo Xi screamed so violently just now? !
She pushed Zuo Xi and anxiously signaled him to move away, "Go! Leave me alone!"
But Zuo Xi seemed not to hear it and had no intention of leaving. Instead, he flapped his wings without hesitation and swam bravely towards the crocodile.
He used his sharp beak to peck at the crocodile fearlessly.
The crocodile was instantly enraged, opened its bloody mouth, and bit towards Zuo Xi with a force of thunder.
At this critical moment, Lin Yaoyao did not hesitate at all.
Holding a dagger, she jumped up from the side like lightning, using all her strength to stab the crocodile's eyes accurately.
The crocodile roared in pain and stopped attacking temporarily.
Zuo Xi took the opportunity to kick hard, and the powerful force kicked the crocodile several meters away.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Lin Yaoyao held Zuo Xi tightly and swam to the other side of the river with all her might.
Every stroke of your arms, every kick of your legs.
After getting ashore, Lin Yaoyao was so tired that she collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, as if all the strength in her body had been drained.
Zuo Xi also turned back into human form at the same time.
"Are you okay?"
Zuo Xi asked with concern, his eyes full of worry and anxiety, and his voice trembled slightly.
Lin Yaoyao shook her head weakly, forcing a forced smile on her face:
"That's fine, let's get out of here."
Her voice was weak but still firm.
The two took a short break, trying to calm their rapid breathing and pounding hearts.
After a short rest, they set out again on the journey to the duck tribe.
Lin Yaoyao walked slowly for a while with her bag on her back. Suddenly, she stopped and slowly turned to look at Zuo Xi.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with unprecedented seriousness, and her gaze seemed to be able to penetrate all the fog and reach people's hearts.
"Zuo Xi, you passed my assessment!"
Her voice was clear and loud, and it was particularly clear in the silent space.
Because just now, she actually let him go first on purpose.
She wanted to see what choice Zuo Xi would make in such a critical moment.
As for Zuo Xi, he did not let her down. When the ferocious crocodile appeared and the chance to escape was before him, he did not choose to leave alone. Instead, he chose to stay without hesitation and fight the crocodile with her.
This kind of courage and responsibility brought a warm feeling to Lin Yaoyao's heart.
She knows very well how precious trust and loyalty are in this world full of unknowns and dangers.
Zuo Xi proved through his actions that he was trustworthy and reliable.
Lin Yaoyao's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a relieved smile, and continued:
"Zuo Xi, I, Lin Yaoyao, have always kept my word. Since you have chosen me and chosen to stay with me, I will never break my promise.
From now on, you have truly become someone I can trust."
Zuo Xi heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, he nodded solemnly and said:
"Yaoyao, I'm so happy to have your approval. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, I will always be by your side."
A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling their hair.
Lin Yaoyao nodded slightly.
Then he handed the backpack to Zuo Xi.
"Here, take it! Don't you like it this way?"
Zuo Xi carefully took the backpack and put it on his back.
Because he saw that Lin Yaoyao seemed to care a lot about this strange-looking thing.
Could it be given by the elders of her tribe? Then it must be well protected.
Zuo Xi gripped the backpack straps tightly, he would definitely protect it well.
Lin Yaoyao looked at the sky, where three scorching suns were hanging high in the sky, burning the earth.
She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her eyes full of surprise and confusion.
"Zuo Xi, are there always three suns here?! Don't you feel hot?"
Lin Yaoyao couldn't help but ask again, with a hint of anxiety in her voice.
Zuo Xi smiled gently and said:
"Yaoyao, there are always three suns in the sky! This is the norm in our land. Besides, we've long been accustomed to it. When the weather gets hotter, almost all of us orcs will migrate north."
When Lin Yaoyao heard about the migration, she couldn't help but sigh deeply and frowned slightly.
She thought to herself: So even if she reaches the Duck Tribe, do we still have to go north together? The future is full of unknowns, making her feel a little confused.
As the two were talking, there was a rustling sound in the grass in front of them.
A fat white rabbit appeared in their sight. It hopped towards the water, as if it was very thirsty and wanted to drink water.
Lin Yaoyao's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously pounced on it like lightning. With swift and precise movements, she grabbed the rabbit's ears.
Then he turned around, a smug smile on his face, and looked at Zuo Xi excitedly:
"Don't we have dinner for tonight?!"
The rabbit was held in the air, flapping its hind legs vigorously as if making its last struggle.
When it heard that it was going to be eaten tonight, its already red eyes immediately turned as red as blood, filled with fear and anger.
Zuo Xi was just about to praise Lin Yaoyao's agility when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the animal pattern hidden under the rabbit's white fur.
His body paused, the smile on his face froze instantly, and then he quickly snatched the rabbit from Lin Yaoyao's hand.
His voice was filled with anxiety and concern:
"Yaoyao, this is a rabbit beastman, you can't eat it!"
Lin Yaoyao froze instantly, her mouth wide open, a look of disbelief on her face:
"Ah!"
Then came a helpless complaint, "Why are there orcs again!"
Lin Yaoyao quickly let go of her hand, as if the rabbit was a hot potato.
