Chapter 90: A Bad Name-Giver
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[Lin-jie’s naming style is still as sloppy as ever. The two snow leopards previously were called Big Leopard and Leopard Two. I thought that this was the peak of a bad name-giver until I hear the name Little Fish…”
[Crocodile: where are your manners? I’m the overlord of both land and water, and I became a little fish?]
[Am I the only one who’s curious about how Bai Lin tamed it? She seemed to have fed it something.]
[It’s the Crocodile Gra.s.s that grows in the swamp. Crocodiles hate this gra.s.s and won’t eat it. Experts say it contains ingredients that slow crocodiles down.]
[I checked. This crocodile is the smallest in the group of crocodiles. Bai Lin only dares to target the weak and bully them. If she likes big ones so much, why didn’t she catch an adult one?]
[Hey, you can’t even beat a little crocodile. What are you doing making noises there?]
[This crocodile should be an adult, right? The abdomen of an adult crocodile is slightly larger than that of a young crocodile. But its size is not normal.]
Bai Lin fondled the crocodile lovingly as she happily explained to the unusually silent group.
“It’s an adult crocodile, but it’s malnourished, so it’s slightly smaller than the others.” Bai Lin turned the crocodile over and touched its belly. The crocodile’s limbs slid in the air. “As expected, it’s because it’s not full.”
Bai Lin turned it over and patted its head. “Poor thing.”
Lin Sen took a long time to recover before he said with difficulty, “Lin-jie, this is a crocodile.”
This was a crocodile! No matter how hungry it was, it was still a crocodile! It would eat people!
The snow leopards from before were fine. Bai Lin said that they were domesticated, so it was normal for them to be close to people.
However, the crocodiles here were vigilant. It was impossible that they were domesticated.
Wild crocodiles were dangerous. Normal people could only run away when they saw one, but Bai Lin actually got a crocodile as a pet!
Lin Sen and Fan Feng had never seen this before. Fan Feng could not help but say, “Lin-jie, I think your noose is also made of gra.s.s. What if it’s not strong enough and it escapes halfway?”
Bai Lin’s expression did not change as she took out a large bunch of Crocodile Gra.s.s she picked on the way. “It doesn’t have the strength to break free. If what you said really happens, then feed it this again. Crocodile Gra.s.s. Crocodiles that have eaten it won’t be able to move.”
Lin Sen looked at the crocodile with pity.
He did not know if it was lucky or unlucky for the reptile to be caught by Bai Lin.
After catching the crocodile, Bai Lin sat on it for a while. She thought it was too p.r.i.c.ky for her backside, so her ride became a transportation to lug everyone’s luggage.
Without any luggage, everyone was at ease and relaxed. With Bai Lin around, the dangerous swampland became as safe as a tourist attraction.
The other side was in a miserable state.
The few of them finally made it through the rugged mountain road and found a cave that they could barely rest in. They squeezed together sitting down. Bai Shao and Li Yan sat at the entrance of the cave and blocked the wind with their bodies.
Because Bai Xi was injured, she was in the deepest part of the cave with the youngest Song Tian. Although it was still very cold, it was better than the cave entrance.
They started a bonfire with great effort and took out all the food, becoming more anxious when they looked at the little food left.
“Xixi, you said you know the way. We’ve been walking for so long. When will we get there?” Zhao Yuan looked worried. “There’s only this much left. It’s not enough for us.”
Bai Shao furrowed his brows. “There’s nothing to eat on the snow mountain.
There are only dead trees. Are we supposed to eat the bark?”
Bai Xi thought about the route map. According to the clue, they should have already left the snow mountain, but the route seemed so long that they could not see the end.
The previous path roughly matched the clue, so they could make a choice without hesitation when they faced a fork in the road.
She suddenly understood it. The clue was drawn by Bai Lin, but it was not complete.
What should she do next? How much farther was it?
She did not know.
Bai Xi was already in despair. Her knees were so swollen that she could not
bear it. When she saw the drone outside the cave and the expectant eyes of everyone, though, she could only continue to pretend.
She rubbed her stiff face and forced a smile. “Soon. We’ve been walking for so long, there’s no difference between going down the mountain and continuing to climb up. Why don’t we work harder and work hard together?”
“Xixi is right. The crew won’t possibly set an impossible task. As long as we work hard, we can reach the finish line.’
As Li Yan spoke, he took out some chocolate from the pile of food and handed it to Bai Xi. “Xiao Xi, you’re injured and we have a long way to go. You should eat something high in calories to replenish yourself.”
Bai Xi politely declined. “I can still hold on. Li Yan-gege, you and my younger brother can have it. You two are carrying a lot of things, and you use up a lot of energy..”
