"One. Two ..." Xion took a deep breath and then shouted his final word. "THREE!!"
With lightning speed, three figures immediately shot down from the sky and were about to dive into the river, to be the first to catch a big fish to win the race.
Since Emma's energy level was the lowest among the three, she was a little behind Xion and Therius who darted like flash and in no time were nearly touching the water.
However, before their feet could dip into the water, suddenly, four very strong vines had caught their feet and wrapped around their ankles. The vines threw their bodies far into the middle of the valley.
Emma smiled slyly when she waved her two hands to create the vines and prevented both Therius and Xion from entering the water.
She knew that the two young men had lost valuable time when their bodies were tossed into the valley. If they tried to enter the water again, the vines would hold them back.
