Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master - Chapter 362
Chapter 362: A Narrow Escape
Rudra’s gamble paid off , about 4 Alligators who were lying in wait near the boat , now rushed to swim towards a typically large Mangroove tree , as they started spraying water with their full might to stop the fire from spreading .
Rudra and company watched on as Bursts and bursts of water were desperately thrown on the tree to stop the fire from spreading. Rudra cursed under his breath , as he said ” ROW , ROW , ROW , the fire will be extinguished soon , and we will have a horde of angry Alligators on our tail “.
Rhino and tank , started to row at full speed , as SMG took the steering role again with the third spare oar. Combined with the Kraken motorboating at full power , the group were faster than the Olympic boating team , as they zoomed their way around the mangroove.
The destination they were supposed to reach at was close … Only 15 minutes or soo to reach at their current speed , but they were desperate now , as Rudra was sure that those mamma alligators would not forgive them soo easily for endangering their eggs.
Rudra knew they had a 5 minute window at best to put as much distance between them and the gators as possible , and pray that they don’t catchup before they find land. However , it was just wishful thinking on his part , as indeed just as he predicted …3 Alligators were hot on his tail , mere 3 minutes after they zoomed past them.
A chase had started now , with the alligators being the master of the marshes , being faster than the foreigners , slowly but surely closing in the distance!
Rudra had no idea , about the approaching alligators , but thankfully they had Karna. The man closed his eyes and started to sense their surroundings to understand about any surprise attacks they needed to prepare for!
Rudra looked at his cooldown time …. 12 minutes till the cast was off …. If only he was at full power , he would have confidence to do something about the situation!
Rudra cursed under his breath , as his heart beat fast in his chest , they were too close to go back home now! , Rudra saw a small island about 1.2 Kms from his current location , it was the location marked on the map.
However before he could even rejoice , Karna said ” 3 Alligators 300 meters out from our location and closing in fast ! “.
Rudra was frustrated , but it was exactly times like these , that his mind worked like a supercomputer , soon a plan formed in his mind . Rudra told Karna , ” Tell me when they close in to 100 meters , then retract ur pet and get ready to jump ! “.
Rudra then looked at everyone and said ” We use the trees soon , get ready to abandon boat ! “.
One minute soon passed , what seemed like an eternity. They were about 600 meters away from the island , and Karna said ” They are very close “.
Rudra was a little hesitant to leave the boat , if he truly gambled he could’ve made it , but he knew it was foolish in his gut , as he said ” Go! go! Go ! , Abandon ship boys! “.
Everyone started to jump on the mangroove trees , one by one , as they made their way towards land , when a terrifying blast of water cut a tree that Yume was on in half.
Rudra looked back and sighed , Yume had barely managed to jump onto another tree , but it was only because he was lucky there was a second tree just beside the first one.
Rudra stopped at his location , as the others continued to go on. In a flash he was the last one left , as three massive waterblasts decimated his tree in pieces , as he was forced to do a backflip onto the small cut trunk of the tree.
Circled by 3 Alligators Rudra was now dancing with his death! Karna who looked at Rudra who was sacrificing himself to buy the group some time cursed. He realized that the fact that Rudra had given him the entry token , was probably because he did not expect to make it .
‘ FOOL! ‘ Karna cursed under his breath , anyone could have sacrificed themselves it , anyone but him , he was the only one this expedition could not carry on without!

When three more waterblasts headed towards Rudra from three more different directions , it seemed like game over for the leader of the Elites.
With 7 minutes still till his cast came off , and all his mana abilities sealed , what could be Rudra do in the face of such danger? Is this going to be the end of the Draconia expedition for him ?
Or does he have a hidden card?

( Meanwhile in Nineclouds kingdom )
Hao Mi was negotiating a exploding potion deal with a black market practitioner of the bombmaking class , an alchemist by profession and a bombmaker In subclass , he was the go-to guy inside Omega for getting premium firearms.
Although his inventions did not hold a candle to Rudra’s , they were still effective nonetheless , made from alchemic materials stored under high pressure , all it needed was a little shake to start the chemical process of explosion. Making its use very dangerous on the battlefield, as a little mistake could blow up the same camp soldiers.
A completely inferior and unstable alchemic product , that Hao Mi wanted to mass purchase anyway …. It was something she would come to regret a lot in the future!
Spending a whopping 1 million gold to buy the merchants complete stockpile and priority rights over his future inventions , at the current market rate of gold ( 1 gold = 500 dollars ) it was a whopping 500 million dollar transaction!
One more of this and the man could retire as a billionaire. But the crazy man only wanted to make more weapons and make more money , spending most on buying different kinds of unstable alchemic potions.
