For the tracking and identification of traces, Yang Buxing and Zhang Xiaofan have been professionally and systematically trained. The simplest, most effective and intuitive is through footprints, but due to the drought and lack of rain, the soil is not very soft, and the vegetation is relatively lush, so there is not much achievement in this area.

But more vegetation also has the advantage of more vegetation, and after some careful discernment, Yang Buxing determined the main direction of the other party from the two small shrubs that had been broken. I don't know if it's a coincidence or if the woman Caroline has a scheming, but going into the woods in this direction is completely opposite to where the car was parked.

"Let's go, they should have entered the mountain from this direction. ”

Yang was not hungry, and as soon as he landed, he walked inside first. And Nask couldn't wait to follow, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaofan at this time.

"What, unwillingly? What tricks do you want to play?"

Nask teased with a playful laugh, and the two soldiers behind him immediately pressed the barrels of their guns against Laporio and his back.

"I also said that I am a top student of Huaxia National Defense University, and I spent money to buy my graduation certificate, right?

Tactics, oh my god, didn't your teacher teach you to keep your distance from the navigator in jungle tracking?

Some of the marks may seem obvious, but they may have been made by other animals, and some of them will be found to be wrong, and you will have to go back and reconfirm the direction. If the follow-up troops follow too closely, it will completely destroy the remaining traces, so the best distance is to keep a meter away from the leader. ”

was stunned by Zhang Xiaofan's words, and Nask's face was indeed a little unbearable. The teacher seems to have taught this knowledge point in class, but I forgot it for a while.

"I'm sorry...... Poor learning and ...... I am not good at learning ......"

This guy was also refreshing, laughed and handed it over to the human, apologized, and quickly ordered his subordinates to put away the gun.

"Don't worry, we can't go back without the navigator, so there's no need to worry too much. ”

After waiting for a while, Zhang Xiaofan got the news from the walkie-talkie in his hand and then followed into the jungle.

Africa's forests and South America's rainforests are fundamentally different ecosystems. This plant alone is much more difficult to deal with than the rainforest. If the rainforest is full of mosquitoes, the African forest is prickly. Very, very many thorns, almost every plant has long or short spikes, some without even leaves, and the branches are barbed. Not long after he walked out, Yang Buxing suffered a great sin. And these things are basically poisonous, and after scratching the skin, they are red, swollen, numb and itchy, which is very uncomfortable.

Not as good as the thirty or so soldiers behind, they came prepared, in addition to the camouflage uniforms and leather boots on their bodies, gloves and scarves were all available, compared to the sports suits and board shoes on the three of Yang Buxing, they were almost covered with plant seeds after walking down the hundreds of meters, which was very embarrassing.

And the facts have indeed proved that everything has two sides, with the lack of fruits and seeds on the plants along the way, Yang Bu is very easy to distinguish the route, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

In this way, the group ran through the jungle for two hours, and did not stop to set up camp until the sun went down.

The woods at night were unusually dark, and all kinds of beasts roared one after another, much more lively than in the grassland.

Several large bonfires were lit at the right time to surround the crowd, and several soldiers kept adding branches and wood to them to make the fire as strong as possible. But despite this, there were only a few more glowing eyes outside the campfire.

It is impossible to shoot, although the sound of gunfire can spook away the surrounding wilderness

beast, but Nask was afraid of alarming the old elephants who were also in the forest, and he didn't want to disturb the poachers and mercenaries in advance.

is still conscientious, as the pilot Yang Buxing did not join the vigilance and defense that lasted all night, but was allowed to rest early so as not to affect tomorrow's tracking. Because there are so many fierce beasts gathered together tonight for no reason, it has largely destroyed the traces left before.

Nask frowned, but kept telling his men to burn the fire a little hotter, so that the beasts who were about to move would not dare to come forward. As everyone knows, such a conspicuous light appears in the forest, and it can be detected from a long distance.

For example, there is a mountain 5 kilometers away from here. The sentinels had already observed the light below the hill at the end of the treetops.

Hush......

A crisp whistle sounded, and everyone else in the surrounding trees came to their senses.

"What's going on?"

A bearded man snapped. Since he was tied to the trunk of a tree with a rope at the moment, there was no way to turn around.

"Boss, there is a bonfire at the bottom of the mountain in the distance, and it looks like it is using the flames to drive away wild beasts. ”

"Damn, it's endless. I killed three people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and now someone is coming up. Why don't you lean in and sneak up now?"

Someone from another tree proposed.

"No, those fools use campfires to drive away wild beasts, and although those beasts are afraid to come near, they also indirectly attract them all around, and now we are afraid that we will be bitten to death before we can take them.

Besides, the old elephant was not far ahead, and if the gunfire alarmed it, it would be in vain.

The fourth and fifth will be responsible for cleaning the traces after the break tomorrow, and presumably those people behind will follow the traces we left before.

Hurry up and rest, they won't be able to catch up for a while. ”

The man known as the Boss immediately vetoed the proposal for a sneak attack. Then he tightened the rope on his body and closed his eyes again.

At this time, in the forest below the mountain, all kinds of roars intensified, and the breeze blew, but the smell of burning pine oil still could not hide the bloody smell mixed in it.

"Burn the fire a little harder! Don't shoot until it's life or death." ”

Nask wanted to scold his mother, he still couldn't understand why he was so unlucky, listening to the movement outside and the dense glowing eyes in the dark, it was not an exaggeration to say that it attracted all the beasts within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Everyone finally stumbled and persevered until dawn, and all the rest of the people were almost exhausted except for Yang Buxing, who was not hungry that night. There were not a few pieces of wood needed to keep the fire burning overnight, and more than a dozen of the trees around it were cut down, and even two machetes were spent.

But the unfortunate thing continued, and after Yang Buxing spent nearly two hours finally screening out useful traces and setting off again, he only found that the trail was interrupted after walking a short distance.

Not because it was destroyed by last night's beast, but because the person who made the mark is dead. Only now did everyone understand the source of the smell of blood last night.

I saw three broken corpses scattered among the bushes. Except for the skull, the rest of the flesh and internal organs were gnawed clean, and a few smooth thigh bones were thrown away. Needless to say, I also know that these three corpses are Carolyn's group.

"Alas...... and thou shalt not live. Isn't it fragrant to go back to Duoduo happily? I just want to find some elephant tomb, and now I can't even find all the corpses, so why bother? ”

Laporio sighed and grumbled. This was said to the corpse, and it was also deliberately heard by Nask, who was standing behind.

"What now, can't you confirm the direction and still chase after it? Why don't you take out the navigator you hid and let's go back?"

Zhang Xiaofan glanced at Nask out of the corner of his eye and asked tentatively.

"Huh...... Do you think I still have a navigator on me? Don't be naïve, that's true. Now we have no choice but to find those poachers. ”

Nask, who smiled bitterly, spread his hands, and now all hope was placed on Yang Buxing.

"Now I can be sure that your graduation certificate from Huaxia National Defense University was definitely bought with money. Because there is absolutely no way for a person who is stupid to be like this to graduate from the National Defense University.

You don't have the brains to learn anything, you call it immortality......"

Zhang Xiaofan covered his forehead and sarcastically, this is as ugly as the words are.

"Don't make any noise, I'll look ahead, these three people died so intensively, they must not have been bitten to death by wild beasts. No one will stay where they are and wait to be bitten to death, and there is a high chance that someone will be killed before being dismembered by a beast. ”

As soon as Yang Bu was hungry and finished speaking, he took the wooden stick and explored ahead, sweeping along the way, he firmly believed that as long as someone passed by, he would leave more or less traces. The reason why I couldn't find it was because someone had specially cleaned it.

It took more than an hour for this process to finally find a little clue.

"If I'm guessing correctly, I should have to move in this direction. ”

Yang Bu was hungry and pinched a piece of brownish green thing, smelled it, and then said to everyone:

"This is supposed to be elephant dung, which has been artificially covered up. We may not be able to find the poachers, but we can find them by following the elephant.

The elephant is supposed to be moving parallel to them, so although they remove the traces left by themselves, they do not have enough time to remove the traces left by the elephant. ”

Nask didn't question it, after all, he could only choose to believe it now. After that, the group had to pick up the pace, which had been delayed for several hours, and the further they went, the vegetation grew, so they had to try to catch up with the poachers before sunset. It can be seen from the three corpses in the back just now that the distance between the two sides has not been very far. Otherwise, the flesh on the corpse would not be as fresh as it had been eaten. This also shows that the guy who killed the three Carowin had not left for long, otherwise the corpse would have been eaten up according to this jungle environment.

By the way, the book-chasing app I've been using recently, cache to read books, and read aloud offline!

In fact, at this time, behind the mountains, a hobbled old elephant struggled to walk through the shadows of the trees. When its massive body rubbed into the branches around it, it would turn around and roll it up with its nose and swallow it. It's hard to imagine that this is the old elephant trying to erase the traces behind him as much as possible. It is said that everything has a spirit, and now the IQ of this old elephant is simply against the sky.

And two or three hundred meters away from him, several black men covered in leaves were keeping a distance from him at all times. They were naked and covered in mud to get rid of the smell on their bodies. A kilometer behind them was a search party of forty-four people, all but seven of whom were experienced hunters. For the treasures in the elephant tomb, their ancestors have cooperated with their fathers for generations. Therefore, this mission is not only an opportunity for them to make a fortune, but also to comfort their ancestors......

PC: Since the character of Nask plays a role in the later stages of the story, I had to use a few chapters of copies to connect the character to the protagonist so as not to be too abrupt later......
