Lin Qiyan still felt shaken. "Really, we should stick together. Those crocodiles are way too vicious. You didn't see how fast it ran just now. Honestly, it nearly charged right into my face—I couldn't even react."
Brother Xian hurriedly explained, "Crocodiles generally can't run long distances. If one runs at you, just use a pole to pin down its head. There's no need to worry too much. These crocodiles are still small. As long as they don't bite anyone, there generally won't be any problems."
Lin Qiyan shook his head. "Maybe we're just not used to crocodiles. I think they're pretty scary."
Brother Xian immediately said, "Since everyone's worried, it's fine to search together."
Lin Dawu wasn't afraid of crocodiles himself, but he was still worried something might happen. Hearing this, he said, "Qi Yan has a point. We should stick together. At worst, it'll take longer to search. Safety comes first."
Lu Ao didn't object either. Everyone simply walked together. They said they would search together, but in reality, they all followed behind Lu Ao.
When they found the second crocodile, everyone finally understood why Lin Qiyan had been so worried.
Crocodiles ran far too fast!
Other than crocodiles, they rarely saw such vicious animals on land. Even mad dogs were relatively common, so adults like them weren't afraid of them.
But when a crocodile charged at them with its huge, bloody maw wide open, their legs went weak.
It was an instinctive human fear.
Lu Ao was meticulous, and whenever he searched for crocodiles, he found them with remarkable accuracy.
By the end of the morning, they had found six.
All six had been subdued by Lu Ao.
When they found another one, Lin Gongshang and Lin Guixiao charged forward together before Lu Ao could make a move.
