"Hey! Panda! Wait a minute, I still have many questions to ask you!"
However, the dream was broken. The girl suddenly woke up and found her companions surrounding her, with concern in their eyes.
"Miss Wizard, you must be having a nightmare, right?" Dimitri the Lion said sympathetically, "No one knows better than me how terrible nightmares are."
"It's not a nightmare, more like...a dream."
Ma Yun stood up from the grass, straightened her messy hair, and told her story about meeting Panda in her dream.
"That monster called Panda, are its words credible?"
Tin Woodman Nick asked coldly.
"Intuition tells me that Panda can be trusted. Besides, it is always better to believe in something like this than something that doesn't exist. You can't go wrong by being more careful." Ma Yun said cautiously.
The Scarecrow and the Lion nodded together, agreeing with her opinion.
The Tin Woodman raised no objection, picked up the ax, and turned towards the woods by the river.
"I'm going to chop some wood to make a raft and cross the big river on the other side. The Emerald City is not far away."
At this time, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng also came to the center of the camp and comforted Ma Yun through the astrolabe chat channel.
"The levels set up in the game cannot make it difficult for players to die. If we hurry up and hurry up, we still have a chance to escape Istna's pursuit."
"I hope so." Ma Yun said uneasily.
The big river opposite the camp seems to have a gentle flow, but in fact there is a hidden undercurrent, and the river is as wide as a thousand feet. Except for Gao Fei, who can transform into a bird and fly across, there is no way for anyone else.
It is too dangerous to use cables to set up a sling across the river, especially when the cable suddenly broke when we crossed the river last time, leaving a psychological shadow on the Cowardly Lion, who would rather die than do it again.
Then the only way to cross the river is to build a raft strong enough.
Tin Man Nick wielded his sharp ax and quickly chopped down three big trees.
Jiang Feng's berserkers also helped chop branches and process wood for making rafts.
After working hard all morning, everyone finally built a large and strong raft.
Ma Yun was worried that the raft would be destroyed by the rapids, so she used the artificer's professional ability to cast spells to strengthen the vehicle.
To cross the river on a raft, you also need oars and a pole.
The paddle is easy to make, but the pole is a little troublesome.
There is no bamboo in the nearby forest, and the branches are neither long nor strong enough.
Fortunately, Xiao Ma has a solution.
Using the "Repair Technique" one after another, four thick wooden sticks were quickly connected into a long pole.
Everyone boarded the raft, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng paddled, and Tin Woodman Nick stood on the bow, responsible for holding the pole and steering the boat.
The raft slid on the gentle river surface and gradually approached the middle of the river.
At this moment, the calm river surface suddenly stirred up a whirlpool!
The raft was sucked by the sudden turbulence and swirled around the whirlpool, almost throwing the lightest scarecrow out. The timid lion was also frightened and screamed strangely.
Gao Fei quickly put down the oar, grabbed the scarecrow who was about to fall into the water, and dragged him back to the raft.
At the same time, bubbles appeared on the river surface, and five strong crocodiles surfaced one after another, swimming towards the raft with malicious intentions.
"What the hell! These crocodiles seem intent on knocking over the raft and feasting on fresh human flesh...and lion meat!"
Ma Yun glanced at the Cowardly Lion intentionally or unintentionally, showed her "color spray wand" and prepared to cast a spell.
"Oh my God! Our situation couldn't be worse!" Dimitri the lion trembled with fear, "Let's talk about it first! I can't swim, what about you?"
"Neither can I." Tin Man Nick held onto the boat pole tightly, "So I can't tolerate those crocodiles acting recklessly. If they dare to come close, I will beat them on the head with this long pole!"
"Oh, my poor friend the Tin Woodman, look at the crocodile's big mouth and its sharp teeth. It can bite your boat pole in one bite." The lion shook his head desperately, "The luckiest among us is Vita.
He's light enough to float in a river, and I guess crocodiles don't like straw - especially when there's human and lion flesh to eat."
"If you can't help, at least you can shut up, stay quiet, and stop causing trouble!"
Jiang Feng scolded the lion angrily, and at the same time raised his right hand, intending to activate the magic power of the "Fire Giant Arm Armor" and aim at the crocodile to release the "scorching ray".
Gao Fei raised his hand to stop her and said softly: "Don't rush to take action. Let me negotiate with these crocodiles first."
Goofy stood on the raft and observed the group of crocodiles, and found that to tame any crocodile, you need to pass a DC13 Taming check.
He has put on the "Druid Mask" and automatically gains the beast-taming skill and "Wild Identity". The beast-taming check has an advantage, the better of the two dice is taken, and the double proficiency modifier 4 is counted.
Including the perception modifier 4, the total is 8.
After two test rolls, as long as the point of any twenty-sided die is greater than 4, you can pass the test and tame a crocodile, with a probability of about 80%.
Goofy rolled the test dice ten times in one breath, and the results perfectly met the mathematical expectations. He successfully tamed four of the five crocodiles and turned enemies into friends.
The last crocodile that slipped through the net and refused to be tamed was left to Ma Yun to deal with.
Xiao Ma was already prepared, holding a wand and pointing at the crocodile near the raft, reciting a spell representing "brilliance".
"alcar!"
In response to the owner's spell, the wand stimulates a burst of energy, transforming into a colorful cone of light that sprays towards the water.
The crocodile only had 5 hit dice. The moment it was hit by the "Colorful Jet", it failed to pass the will save. It was first blinded and then fell into a coma, like a rotten wooden pile floating on the river.
Ma Yun put away the "Color Spray Wand", took out the refined long sword seized from the "Activated Armor" from the astrolabe storage space, spent 5 points of magic power to add "Secondary Activation Technique" to the long sword, and temporarily transformed it
It becomes a "Sword in the Sky".
The long sword endowed with vitality flew into the air, followed the hostess's mental remote control, and dragged a ray of cold light towards the crocodile!
puff!
The volley sword poked a hole in the crocodile's milky white belly, causing 10 points of damage and blood immediately gushing out.
The crocodile was awakened by the severe pain in its abdomen, but it still had two negative states of "blindness" and "shock" on its body, floating on the water and unable to move.
Ma Yun continued to control the volley sword to attack the crocodile, and at the same time made a series of spell-casting gestures to shoot "flame arrows" at the crocodile.
"Flame Arrow" does not require concentration to maintain and does not conflict with the Volley Sword. Ma Yun can shoot a "Flame Arrow" first and then remotely control the Volley Sword to slash in the same round.
The strong crocodile could not last more than three rounds before she was killed by her, dragging a trail of blood away with her.
At the same time, Gao Fei used the druid mask to force the four crocodiles he had tamed to gather behind the raft and push forward together, causing the raft to escape the attraction of the whirlpool and reach the other side of the river without any danger.
