Chapter 782 - 783: There are Crocodiles
A heavy rain had completely erased the tracks of the people ahead, and without any paths in the same direction, everyone simply set their course and blazed their own trails through the rainforest.
Song Xiaodong wasn’t afraid of encountering those people again. In fact, deep down, he rather hoped for a confrontation, even though his own strength had already become formidable. Only through real combat could he solidify his abilities further.
Now, when he practiced with Sun Zhentian at home, it was more about sparring, lacking the life-or-death intensity of the past. Naturally, he couldn’t unleash his true power, nor could he truly enhance his skills.
Traveling with Sun Yiyi, neither mentioned what had happened inside the tree hollow. Sun Yiyi still carried an endless charm with every frown and smile, and facing her, Song Xiaodong had become even more composed.
After walking for over an hour, Sun Yiyi said, "There’s a river ahead. Once we cross that river and walk a bit more, we can rest. By tomorrow afternoon, we should reach our destination."
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "I can already hear the sound of water. This river seems quite large, it looks like we’re not far now."
As they moved forward, the sound of water grew louder. After about twenty minutes, they reached the riverbank and, facing the hundred-meter wide, rushing waters, Song Xiaodong said, "Are we supposed to swim across?"
Looking at the river, Sun Yiyi grinned and said, "Seems like it, huh? Do you have any other ideas?"
At that moment, Song Xiaodong pulled Sun Yiyi back behind a tree and looked upstream for a few dozen meters before exchanging glances each filled with a hint of envy.
With a hint of annoyance, Sun Yiyi said, "Those guys actually brought inflatable boats!"
Song Xiaodong added, "Yeah, I saw those two big bags they carried and wondered what was in them. Turns out it was this. They really are more prepared than us."
"It’s just the two of us, how could we carry such heavy inflatable boats?" Sun Yiyi gave Song Xiaodong a look that said, It’s not that I didn’t think of it, it’s that we couldn’t carry it.
