Chapter 693
Yesterday afternoon, some of them had searched around and roughly knew where there was clean
water. If they went 10 kllometers southeast, there would be a small lake.
They squatted by the lake to wash their faces, arms, and bodies, which were all stained with blood.
They could not find the great waterfall, but they could clearly hear the sound of the water rushing down.
This really drove them crazy.
It felt like something was right there in front of you, but you couldn’t catch it.
What happened last night made them extremely vigilant. They even had to take turns washing their
faces by the lake, in fear of being attacked again. Otherwise, they would face annihilation.
It was Christina’s turn to wash her face. She was absent-minded. The death of her teammates had
caused a great psychological shadow on her. Unlike Gary and other teammates, she was not used to
death.
This small lake was a dead one, and no water flowed into it. Perhaps it was formed by rainwater. And
the water was very cold.
Christina splashed some water on her face. The coolness sobered her up a little. When she looked up,
she seemed to see something glittering in the lake.
The lake was not big, only the size of a football field, and was also very shallow. Christina could see
there were many black stones at the bottom of the lake.
And there were no living creatures in the lake. No algae. No fish. No plankton.
Maybe it was because of the sky, the lake was especially blue and clean on that day.
“What are you looking at?”
Charles, who was also squatting by the lake, turned around and found that Christina had been staring
at the same place.
Christina stood up and pointed to the right side ahead of her. “There’s something shining in the lake.”
Charles was curious and he looked in the direction of her fingers. “What is it?” He didn’t see anything.
Then, Charles thought of the lost scepter and said casually, “Could it be the Golden Scepters?”
Christina felt that it was very possible. The sparkling thing was in the middle of the lake. The water was
not deep. at most halfway to the middle of her body. Christina was good at swimming, so she didn’t
hesitate to walk down
At this moment, Patrick, who was standing on the shore and saw her sudden action, worriedly shouted
at her, “What are you doing? Don’t get into the water!”
“There’s something in the lake!”
Christina responded loudly. Without looking back, she had already stepped into the lake. “It could be
the scepters!” They all knew the importance of the scepters.
“The lake is very shallow. Don’t worry. There’s no life in the water. There won’t be any danger.”
Raphael, who was on the shore, perked up when he heard the word “scepter”.
Gary and the others also looked at her expectantly. Only Patrick frowned and ran over hurriedly, still
worried that there was danger in the water.
But before Patrick could make it to the lake, Christina, who was about to touch the shining thing, was
suddenly caught by an invisible force. And for a second, everything around the shining thing seemed to
be shaking.
And the force rapidly rippled outwards like a vibration wave.
Christina could hear a crisp and beautiful thud in her mind, like the sound from mountains and rivers,
like a drop of water dripping from high. Everything was peaceful and tranquil.
This feeling was wonderful.
And then, Patrick and others felt a vibration coming from the jungle in all directions. It seemed to come
from a herd of stampeding beasts.
“There are jackals!!”
Rafael was the first one to realize what happened and he shouted at his teammates while quickly
picking up his gun. After last night’s life-and-death struggle, he had realized how ferocious the beasts
of this world were. novelbin
Everybody went into overdrive and hurried to look for weapons.
“The upper left… No, it’s a group of wild boars!”
“It’s a mouse, a mutated big mouse… On the right!” “Bang bang!” Gunshots were heard everywhere,
accompanied by cries and screams. “The sky, there are big blrds in the sky!”
Just as the sound ended, a huge vulture swooped down, casting a huge shadow on the ground. The
vulture flew at an extremely fast speed. All of a sudden, It grabbed Christina in the middle of the lake
with its sharp claws and directly lifted her up.
Christina was caught by the eagle on her shoulders, as vulnerable as a young prey. The eagle’s claws
were like Iron hooks, directly piercing Into the flesh of her shoulders
“Ah!”
The pain from her shoulders made her pale. She screamed loudly, overwhelmed with fear and pain.
When Patrick looked up, he could only see Christina being grasped by a huge eagle and carried up to
the sky. He was a little stunned.
Gunshots were heard everywhere, and the beasts seemed to have been summoned by something.
Large groups of beasts kept rushing in their direction.
Raphael and the others were already tired of dealing with them. There were too many beasts. Patrick
had some practical experience in dealing with the big Jackals. Now he picked up his gun and killed the
two big jackals in front of him. He then wanted to chase after Christina. He almost did it instinctively.
But he was caught by Raphael behind him.
“Don’t go. You won’t be able to catch her up.”
Patrick turned around and scolded, “Let me go!”
Rafael was stubborn this time. He grabbed Patrick by the back collar and advised, “All men must die.
Patrick, can you catch up with a huge vulture flying high in the sky? Don’t overestimate yourself. You
are also in trouble now. We are not even sure whether we will survive…”
Raphael was seldom this agitated. He seemed to have recalled something as if he had made such a
choice himself. He chose to give up because there was nothing he could do. Stopping chasing was the
most rational choice.
Even if Patrick caught her up, it was very likely that Christina was already dead.
If he stayed, he could help more people.
In the face of such a group of beasts, it would be a bad idea to run separately.
“Let go of me!”
Patrick didn’t want to hear him say anything. His eyes were bloodshot with anxiety. He raised his gun
and pointed it at Raphael.
Raphael seemed to be touched when he met Patrick’s eyes, and he finally let go.
Patrick did not dare to delay for a moment. He looked up at the sky and chased after the eagle, which
was almost out of sight.
Samba, who was carrying his mother, the Matriarch of the Barbarians, with one hand, also followed
Patrick and
left.
There are too many beasts. Let’s climb up to the trees.”
Raphael regained his composure. He turned around and shouted at Gary and other teammates.
Gary, Alan, and others looked in the direction where Patrick had left. They would not follow him blindly.
Raphael was right this time. There were too many wild animals, and their bullets were not enough.
They quickly climbed up the trees, where they would face fewer beasts.
Patrick looked up at the sky while running anxiously. The gunshots on Raphae’s side were still
incessant.
