Chu Xingyue gathered everyone around her and explained the plan in detail. To get through this safely, they needed a foolproof plan. If it were just her and Jiaojiao, they could get through it effortlessly. Although everyone had made great progress, it was really difficult for so many of them.
These giant creatures have been in this place for countless years, and the fact that they have grown to such a large size and in such numbers suggests that they have few natural predators.
The absence of natural enemies does not mean the absence of weaknesses. Whether there are any in the deep pool or how many there are are just guesses, but we must still prepare for the worst and not harbor any wishful thinking here.
Chu Xingyue led her team and quietly left the crocodile's habitat.
Soon, a series of muffled thuds came from the forest. Something fell down, and something else collapsed. Such sounds did not disturb the giant crocodile that was basking in the sun and resting not far away.
"I don't know if this will work?" Lu Zehua was a little worried.
"Don't worry, if the boss told us to do this, it must be effective."
"Don't be afraid. If you accidentally faint later, we won't abandon you."
Wei Haiyang, who was picking up the things that had fallen on the ground, glanced at Lu Zehua with a half-smile.
"I wonder if this is enough to eat?"
"It doesn't matter if there's enough to eat, as long as it's enough to attract its attention."
The group of people looked at the various animal carcasses piled on the ground and discussed in hushed tones.
Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao walked over, dragging something along.
"Boss"
Everything is ready.
"Is this enough for you?"
Chu Xingyue's eyebrows twitched as she looked at the mountain of animals piled up in front of her.
We asked you to prepare some animals, but how many have you prepared? This rainforest is huge; if it were smaller, you would have driven it to extinction.
"Enough, absolutely enough."
This is also due to the unique nature of this rainforest. The animals here are several times larger than any other animals they have seen outside. Otherwise, there really wouldn't be enough for these behemoths in the rainforest to survive.
"Boss, aren't the deer in your and Jiaojiao's hands a little too big?"
Fu Jingcheng stared blankly at the deer that Chu Xingyue had thrown on the ground. How could he put it? The deer's antlers were bigger than the two of them combined. How did it survive in the rainforest? Wouldn't it get in the way when it walked?
"This deer has no external injuries?" Yang Run noticed.
"He's not dead, he's just unconscious."
"Damn, that's huge! He's just unconscious, not dead?"
“Relying solely on inanimate objects might not be enough to attract these guys’ attention, but living things are a different story.”
This is a dog-eat-dog world.
"Everyone, check your equipment again, rest for five minutes, and then we'll begin."
"yes"
Everyone leaned against the tree trunk and began to rest as soon as possible, knowing that a fierce battle was yet to come.
Chu Xingyue, Chu Jiaojiao, and Gu Yanci discussed in hushed tones what unexpected situations might arise, ensuring that they could all get through them safely.
"Bang bang bang"
The sound of heavy objects falling came from two directions on the shallows. The giant crocodile, which was resting, was startled and opened its mouth wide, making a rumbling sound with a slight vibration. The sound was so loud that it was like thunder coming from afar.
The startled animals stood up and moved aside. The animals they had caught were quite large, but they were no match for these giant crocodiles. The few that hadn't followed got anything and sheepishly moved back to where they had been lying.
Now that you've all dispersed, how can we let you go back?
One by one, they flew in parabolic arcs to both sides, and some of the more agile ones were caught by the ones that had been waiting with their heads raised before they even landed.
"Jiaojiao, now is the time."
The two sisters each threw a sika deer in opposite directions from the deep pool.
The sika deer, already dizzy, woke up shortly after entering the water, at which point the deep pool began to boil.
"Everyone, get ready, charge!"
Upon receiving the order, everyone shouldered their backpacks, gripped their weapons, and rushed into the deep pool at full speed, beginning their strenuous swim to the other side.
Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao stood on either side of the group, protecting everyone.
On both sides of the deep pool, a contest was taking place between sika deer. On the shallows, two deer were tearing at each other, while others had already begun to climb into the deep pool to prepare for the fight with the live animals.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Chu Xingyue urged him quietly from the side.
No matter how thorough the preparations, there will always be unexpected events.
The team members were swimming hard towards the other side. Chu Xingyue paid attention to the changes in the water and noticed that the people at the front had already started to come ashore.
At the very back was Gu Yanci, and a different kind of ripple began to spread across the water.
"Speed up, Jiaojiao, take your brother-in-law and go full speed ahead." After saying this, Chu Xingyue dived underwater.
Upon receiving An'an's instruction, Chu Jiaojiao grabbed Gu Yanci's arm and sped up. Gu Yanci moved his hands and feet rapidly, quickly turning his head to look behind him, but there was nothing there. He felt a little anxious, but he also knew that now he could only obediently follow Chu Jiaojiao to the shore quickly.
He wouldn't be of any help if he stayed, and might even distract Chu Xingyue.
With a whoosh, Chu Jiaojiao swam with Gu Yanci to the shore. The others who had already reached the shore quickly rushed forward and pulled the two of them up.
Everyone stood anxiously on the shore, staring at the water where Chu Xingyue had just disappeared.
Underwater, the giant crocodile's massive jaws missed Gu Yanci's bite and swam straight towards Chu Xingyue. Although the crocodile's body was enormous, it was not as clumsy as it was on land; it was even more agile underwater. Chu Xingyue knew she was strong, but she wasn't entirely sure she could win against such a behemoth.
Once again dodging the giant crocodile's attack, Chu Xingyue turned to face the crocodile, which had quickly turned around after missing its first strike. The crocodile, which had been dodged by the human again, was clearly a bit arrogant, charging even faster than before. Just as the crocodile charged, Chu Xingyue lowered her body, and the three-edged dagger she had prepared beforehand pierced the crocodile's lower jaw. The rapid impact prevented the crocodile from stopping immediately, and Chu Xingyue had anticipated this.
He gripped the triangular dagger tightly with both hands and pushed forward with all his might. The water surface was gradually stained red by the blood rising from the water. The people on the shore immediately clenched their fists.
The overwhelming smell of blood directly stimulated both sides, causing all the giant crocodiles on the shore to quickly converge in one place.
Chu Xingyue, who was underwater, had already noticed the commotion and swam quickly towards the shore like a fish.
With a "whoosh," Chu Xingyue broke the surface of the water and quickly ran towards the shore.
"Run backwards."
Seeing this, everyone turned around and ran into the woods without hesitation. Chu Jiaojiao, who was waiting on the side, grabbed Chu Xingyue the moment she came up and ran into the woods. They were so fast that they left afterimages.
With a "whoosh," the enormous body burst out of the water, its wide-open mouth making the hearts of the people who had run into the woods tighten.
The giant mouth bit nothing, and with a "thud," its massive body landed on the ground, shaking the entire ground.
With a muffled whooshing sound coming from its mouth, the crocodile was clearly not in a good mood after failing to catch its prey, and it turned around and crawled back into the pool.
"An'an, are you alright?"
"Boss, are you hurt?"
People's concern followed one after another.
Chu Xingyue touched her face and said with a smile:
"It's okay. Thanks to Jiaojiao who was waiting nearby and pulled me away, otherwise I would definitely be inside the crocodile's belly right now."
Anyone who has swum knows that the moment you emerge from the water, your whole body feels incredibly heavy. Although Chu Xingyue is strong and agile, she had already gone through a fierce battle underwater. Without Chu Jiaojiao's help, she herself couldn't guarantee that she would have escaped unscathed and would be standing here talking to everyone now.
She is strong and skilled, but she is not a god.
"I just took a quick look underwater, and there aren't as many as we thought. Besides the few that were on the shore, there are probably only four or five underwater," Chu Xingyue told everyone what she had just seen underwater.
"Yeah, right. These things are so big, and they can live on land and underwater. Aren't they invincible?"
"I doubt there's anything here that can rival them."
"have"
Chu Xingyue's words made the eyes of the people who heard them widen, and their stunned expressions made Chu Xingyue laugh.
