298 Tarzan the Ape Man, Whose Nose Was Hi (2/2)

From the time Brony and his group started making preparations prior to setting off, Qin Ruo had been familiarizing himself with the different abilities of the Intermediate Level Aquamorph. One of them was transformation, and he gradually mastered some tricks. Moreover, with the help of Elemental Perception: Water, there was no need to have too many deliberations, thus mastery of the skill came quickly.

At the same time, Qin Ruo's Elemental Perception: Water allowed him to see Cerberus, the Bowmaster, as well as Brony and his group's every move. Brony and his troops were positioned on the right side of the waterfall. They were about a hundred meters away from the waterfall. Once they reached the creature's habitat behind the waterfall, it would be necessary to swim through close to 50 m of water. Off the record, it could take anywhere from 18 seconds to 20 seconds at least, or even more than that!

However, based on Cerberus' speed, the two Bowmasters would not be able to outrun it for more than 10 seconds... then go back and kill it. Altogether it would take about 25 seconds for the whole operation based on how successful the second Bowmaster was in luring the Boss. Hence, if several the Elementalists in Brony's group entered the waterfall, it was estimated that Cerberus would have also caught up with them; they would be totally useless apart from being the .easiest cannon fodder.

It would be wise to let the warriors and Bowmasters, who could move slightly faster, to enter the hole.

Qin Ruo ducked a little, and a green leaf was caught in between the fingers of his retracted arm. He had just used his transformation ability to pick it off another tree 20 m away. Twenty meters!

According to Qin Ruo's understanding, it was the skill with the largest range in his Water Element transformation skillset. If it were any farther away, he would not be able to do it, as the arm would become thinner and unsuitable for forceful action. However, to be able to reach his current level was already very good.

Qin Ruo smiled, and cold air swiftly flowed out from his fingertips! The green leaf, which was covered in a layer of the Water Element, immediately became stiff under the cold air. It was completely frozen into a thin and hard blade. Exerting some pressure, the green fragments slipped from his fingertips with a soft, crisp sound!

”Let's see who can get into the waterfall faster and obtain the treasure of Cerberus.”

*Swoosh!*

Gripping onto a tree trunk more than10 m away, Qin Ruo flew and dangled in the air as another arm was acutely whipped out and tightly wrapped around another tree trunk farther away...

It was originally an instinctive action due to the inertia produced. Nevertheless, Qin Ruo had just grasped the new transformation ability as well. It was almost like someone who just learned how to walk but already started to run, which may appear simple, but it was actually easy to lose balance.

He began to relax one of his arms without realizing, and the weight of his body was suddenly taken up by the other Water Element arm. At that moment, a weak feeling simultaneously surged from both his heart and arm… 'This is bad!'

He had been too engrossed, losing his depth perception in the process; he had forgotten to measure the distance. Sh*t!

Seeing that he was about to fall from a height of more than twenty meters, Qin Ruo felt anxious and could not care less about the rest. He transformed his armed straight away and violently swept it around. Falling from such a height, he was unsure how much HP would be lost. If he died, it would be disastrous!

Even the Bloodthirsty Tree did not make him fall to his death; if he were to be killed by one of the saplings due to a mistake on top of it all, Qin Ruo reckoned that he would go mad.

Fortunately, his Water Element arms managed to directly grab the trunk of a big tree nearby. With a tight grip and release of one arm, his body immediately swung to the side.

Bang!

”…Ouch.”

As Qin Ruo hugged the trunk, he screamed internally for his poor nose.

It was precisely during this momentary loss of focus that he caught a glimpse of a few people out of the corner of his eye. They had already rushed out of the forest into the waterfall. Looking at the splashing water on the other side, Qin Ruo felt worried and immediately flung out a very long Water Element arm…

Having learned his lesson previously, Qin Ruo was a lot more cautious. As the wind swept past his body, his mind was very collected. He was not immersed in the thrill of the great speed, instead, he concentrated on the distance between himself and the tree trunk ahead. During the undulations, at the end of the high swing, he seized the opportunity and swung his arms out in a timely manner!

His speed was improving, while his actions were becoming more skillful and compact!

Phew!

When Qin Ruo gripped the last trunk, the waterfall was already in sight. Qin Ruo quickly calculated a precise parabola, exerted a downward force on his body and swayed hard, using the last trunk as a launch pad! His whole person was propelled out of the forest by that force, into the air and towards the waterfall more than twenty meters away...

”Ahh… Woo… Ahh… Woo… Ahh!!!”

Resounding screams pierced through the sound of the waterfall, and the few players who had rushed into the lake were shocked. Bewildered, they all stopped at the same time as they looked behind them. ”Did you hear that?”

”Was that Tarzan, the Ape Man? Wow!”
