The massive figure had already charged to the bottom of the slope. In another breath, it would catch up to the few people at the rear of the group!
Ryo glanced worriedly at Velin, who was still trailing behind at an unhurried pace, and he nearly rushed back to drag him along.
But Velin had finally reached the perfect distance between himself and the leader.
A thought entered Sarah's mind from behind him.
At the same time, Velin blurted out, "Plan Four!"
From the swarm escorting the samples, more than twenty Bader Dung Beetles suddenly split off.
Their massive bodies carved an arc through the mud as they wheeled around, fearlessly charging back toward the crocodile leader. Their pitch-black carapaces formed a tide flowing against the current.
Ryo understood instantly. He spun around, pointing his ash wood Magic Staff at the rampaging beast.
