In the bizarre atmosphere of the team, they still managed to complete the collection mission at their first destination. While descending the mountain, they discussed whether or not to travel by boat.
An adventurer, momentarily distracted, staggered to one side. Eja rushed over to grab him. Although he managed to pull the man back, Eja was less fortunate and fell off the cliff. Luckily, there was a river below, and the cliff wasn't particularly high.
The bad news was, there were crocodiles in the river.
Eja knew that within this jungle-cutting river lurked those massive killers. The sound of his splash travelled through the water, and the lurking predators would soon home in, which meant he had to reach shore as quickly as possible!
But the cliff on one side was unclimbable, so he had to swim a bit further ahead.
As he was preparing to swim in that direction, he noticed ripples in the water and the crocodile swimming towards him.
