Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master - Chapter 361
Chapter 361: Keep Calm And Trust The Boss
The mangroove swamp , a level 200+ map that divulged into a level 220 danger zone the deeper and deeper one goes inside it. You need to be extremely agile if you want to traverse this region on the mangroove trees that surface out of the water level. However , there are various long tailed baboon settlements too inside this mangrove , level 200 ferocious beasts that you cannot outrun on the trees.
The second option is to make a small boat and traverse the waters , that are infested with equally terrifying level 200 alligators . If you for some reason fall inside the waters , it is again game over , because you cannot outswim the alligator.
The waters being waist high , it was not impossible to walk through the swamp , but it was akin to commiting suicide. One needed to carefully consider what path to take.
Rudra asked the crew on their opinion , but nobody offered one … It was clear to him that the group had entrusted him with the duty of making decisions .
Rudra thought about it carefully and decided he wanted to make a raft to traverse the mangroove. The reason for this was that the baboon’s absolutely hated the water and the alligators. They would not attack the raft in fear that they might fall into the water.
Hence the group started making a raft , it was times like these that Rudra regretted not bringing Fatty Kalash along , because clearly him and Karna were useless in such situations. Basically it was SMG and Yume making a solid raft , as the others helped them as instructed.
When the raft was finally ready the system assigned it a bronze grade , which was not bad according to Rudra. He was quite prowd of his team’s work.
Hence with three make shift oars , and one spare oar , Yume and Karna started to row the raft , while SMG guided the party through the forest , by using the third oar to steer the boat.
Thank the lord’s that SMG knew how to steer boats , as it was a real complicated task to go through mangroove forests. One needed to often cut some obstacles ahead , and have their hearing sense on high alert for any baboon noises.
The last thing the group wanted was to pass directly under a baboon settlement and be pelted with stones , untill they died.
After about 3 hours of uninterrupted travel , it seemed as if Yume and Karna were a little out of stamina from the constat rowing and needed to be replaced. Hence tank and rhino replaced the duo , Rudra wanted to volunteer , but he could not do much with only one hand.
Rudra still had 9 hours on his cast cooldown…. And he could not wait to get done with it. However their string of good luck did not last forever , as suddenly something rocked the raft from under it , as SMG’s steering oar was chewed up .
Rudra gave the call! Oars in ! , As Tank and Rhino took the oars back inside the raft. Rudra cursed , if was an enemy an intelligent one at that , someone who did not want us to steer our way out of this trouble.
Rudra had two guesses , one was that they were floating towards a gator settlement , and second was that they were heading towards a place where a mother alligator had laid her eggs.
Rudra had to make a choice , but fighting the alligator was not one of them …. If the alligator had two or three more hits on the raft from under it , It would become a bloody afair inside the open waters.
Rudra looked around to see everyone was calm , especially Karna who was smiling as he said ” It’s upto you Boss ! “.
Rudra said ….. ” It’s time to bring out the big guns! “.
Karna smirked , as he and Rudra summoned their respective pets.

A kraken , the size of an elephant was then spawned inside the mirky waters , while Furball was on the raft.
Rudra said , ” Kraken , speed , steer the raft out of here quick ! , Furball , Medivh , burn the mangrooves around us down! Fast ! “.
Furball and Medivh did as told , as the kraken rotated it’s tentacles with such intensity , as he latched onto the boat , that the once raft now became a motorboat!
The weight of the Kraken on one end made the raft inclined at a 15° angle on his side. But the group onboard was professional enough to wether such problems.
Medivh and Furball used fireball after fireball , as the path around them was set ablaze!
Rudra’s logic behind this was simple , if it was an ambush they were going towards , there is nothing they could do about it anyway , but if they were going towards an egg nest , then the surrounding fire would freak out the alligators. As the priority would shift from hunting them to saving the eggs.
Although Rudra did not know much about their living styles , he knew for sure that alligators did not lay their eggs inside water , and seeing as there was no land here , it had to be on the mangroove wood!
He was taking a big gamble here , the kraken of Karna was not yet fully mature , much like Furball , hence bringing him out in such a dangerous environment was him being desperate . But that’s what he was ….. Desperate , desperate to reach draconia , desperate to gain new strength for the guild and for himself at Draconia.
The lost land of the dragons ….. Will he be able to reach it? Or will he fall prey here , at the mangroove swamp to alligators , going back to the church of light ? Only time will tell.
