Da Fei nodded, "Yeah, be sure to keep track of time to ensure safety."
...
Now, Da Fei and the elder's group returned to the swamp, where dozens of rafts around the small island were piled high with crows, dark as mountains. With the elder's call, all the rafts began moving at once; the spectacle was indeed impressive!
Unfortunately, these rafts were too rudimentary, uncertain if they could even meet the ten single-standard of the smallest cargo ship. In short, the production capacity of these Hobbits urgently needed improvement.
Da Fei suddenly noticed the absence of the young boy and asked, "Where's Billbo?"
The elder laughed, "Of course, he went ahead to distract and lure away the giant crocodile. Otherwise, if such a large group of us encountered the crocodile head-on, there'd be no escape."
