Chapter 487 - 480 Panic
There was a large patch of reeds and sedge by the riverbank, which could offer good camouflage and concealment. But as the group made it to the river’s edge, Gao Yuan distinctly saw several Nile crocodiles with only their heads above the water’s surface.
Gao Yuan was somewhat taken aback. To rashly enter the water now would be like delivering themselves as a meal to the crocodiles.
As the presence of people neared the shoreline, a crocodile on the bank immediately turned its head and sluggishly made its way back to the water; then, with a flick of its tail, it began to swim toward deeper parts.
At that moment, Gao Yang suddenly raised his gun, and with several sharp bangs, fired multiple shots. Any crocodile that was floating and exposing its head on the surface of the water, attempting to return to the water from the shore, had its head blown open.
"Quick, get in the water."
Animal conservation? That concept seemed foreign to Gao Yang.
At the sound of gunfire, the nearby crocodiles immediately departed, diving into the water or quickly entering it from the shore. The crocodiles that Gao Yuan and his team could and couldn’t see vanished in the shortest span of time.
Although crocodiles are not noted for their intelligence, if they still didn’t know to fear the sound of gunfire by now, they would have gone extinct long ago.
Gao Yuan placed the iron watermelon on the ground, reasoning that the monsters wouldn’t know to destroy it, much less steal it.
Before entering the water, Gao Yuan also pulled out two dry reeds, snapping them briskly into pieces. The hollow reeds could serve as breathing tubes.
