A cylindrical object protruded from the grass.
The little pomelo didn't move.
The thing swayed, revealing its full form.
It is a small anteater.
The little green bean-sized eyes paused for a moment after meeting the little grapefruit's clear and bright eyes.
What's in front of me is a black and white striped anteater, and that cylindrical thing from before was the anteater's mouth.
Luo Li wasn't quite sure how dangerous the anteater was, so she could only shout, "Step back a little, Little Yuzu!"
"good."
To avoid worrying Luo Li and the others, Xiao Youzi took a few steps back and stood on a rock in the haystack.
The anteater paused for a few more minutes, and seeing that the humans hadn't moved, it slowly climbed up the large log.
First, it skillfully stretched out its claws and poked at the large piece of wood, then it stuck its long, thin tongue into the hole and stirred it up.
Many ants were pulled out by the sticky substance on its tongue.
After eating for a while, the anteater finally stepped off the log, stretched out its paw to scratch the green cotton on the water's surface, and took a sip of water.
Little Yuzu frowned in disgust: "That water smells awful."
"Don't you dare try drinking it like that," Luo Li replied calmly.
The anteaters didn't attack them, and he relaxed a little.
Wen Luo reached out from behind: "Little Youzi, would you like to come up first?"
"Thank you, Uncle, but no need."
Little Yuzi turned around and smiled at Wen Luo.
The little girl's sweet smile instantly made everyone feel as if they were soaking in honey.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a sharp, short whistle rang out from behind, shattering the pleasant atmosphere.
"Ah!" Cheng Cheng screamed and covered her mouth.
Li Lan's eyes widened as well.
Little Yuzu turned around, puzzled, seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the adults.
A fish fiercely bit the anteater's claw.
The fish had an oval-shaped body that was somewhat flattened.
Its outer skin is grayish-green, its back is dark green, its belly is bright red, and it has very sharp teeth.
yes--
Piranhas!
Compared to its demonized appearance in the movie, this piranha is only 40 centimeters long, and its skin is not as ferocious.
The anteater, whose hand had been bitten, howled, and blue blood flowed out.
"Don't be afraid!"
Little Yuzu shouted and charged forward.
"Little Yuzu, come back!"
Luo Li jumped down to hug Xiao Youzi, but Xiao Youzi nimbly dodged her.
Over there, just as the anteater's claws were about to pierce the piranha, another piranha flew out of the water.
Two, three...
Suddenly, eight piranhas flew out and chased after the anteater, biting it.
The anteater was too busy taking care of itself to look after the little pomelo.
Little Yuzu, who had come to the anteater's side, immediately stabbed the piranha in the eye with a finger.
Then he reached out and crushed all the other piranhas.
Once again, everyone witnessed the ferocity of Little Yuzu.
After dealing with the piranhas, Little Yuzu dragged the anteater away.
When she looked up, the mermaid was still clinging to the anteater's claws.
"Excuse me!"
Little Yuzu pinched the piranha's upper and lower jaws with both hands, forcing it to let go.
Just like the crocodile back then.
"Click!"
Piranhas are not protected animals, so Xiaoyouzi simply tore it in half and threw it into the river.
The blood was quickly covered by the green Spirogyra.
"Little Yuzu, aren't you disgusted? This water smells so bad."
Only after Luo Li said that did Xiao Youzi come to her senses.
She lowered her head and sniffed, "Yue!"
"Brother, my hands smell bad!" Little Yuzu stomped her feet anxiously.
Luo Li walked over and picked up Xiao Youzi. The anteater glanced at Xiao Youzi, then turned and ran away.
Back by the banana tree, Luo Li took out water and washed her hands: "Would you dare to do anything reckless again! What if there's no water to wash your hands later?"
Little Yuzu pouted after being scolded, lowered her head, and remained silent.
"Wipe it off."
Luo Li pulled a wet wipe from her bag and handed it to Xiao Youzi.
"oh."
Little Yuzu lowered her head further and further, looking sullen.
My brother is angry.
She's so angry, you can't coax her!
People around watched, but no one offered any advice.
The brother and sister have to resolve their own issues.
"Little Yuzu, I'm very angry."
Luo Li placed her large hand on Xiao Youzi's head and sighed, "I heard a news story before about a boy who fell into a piranha pond and was eaten clean in minutes, leaving only his bones."
"Little Yuzu, you were in too much danger just now."
"I can protect myself," Xiaoyouzi said weakly, then took Luo Li's hand and said, "Brother, don't be angry anymore. I won't do it again next time."
Luo Li lowered her eyes, feigning anger: "There will be a next time?"
"there is none left!"
The tension between the two had eased.
Xiao Ye then spoke, "Don't be so impulsive next time, okay?"
"I understand, I'm sorry to have worried everyone."
Little Yuzu smiled, and everyone found a place to sit down and rest.
Cheng Cheng was still shaken and puzzled: "How can they fly?"
"Its fins provide leverage; they flew by using that big log as leverage," Wen Luo said.
Seeing everyone looking at him curiously, Wen Luo explained, "Alan used to really like watching horror movies, so I watched one with her and looked up some information about it, so I know a bit about it."
"So that's how it is."
Cheng Cheng nodded. "So what do we do now? Is this the only way to get there?"
"Piranhas can fly, it's very dangerous." Li Lan also felt a chill run down her spine.
