Chapter 51: The Forest
But this time, Ning Lei completely wronged Gu Xiaole and Lin Rui and the two of them.
In this dangerous tropical jungle,
Don't talk about thinking about those ambiguous things,
It's just a reflection on those carnivores or some poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that may appear at any time,
It's enough to give people goosebumps all over their bodies,
How can you still have the heart to think about such a loving action!
At this time, Gu Xiaole and Lin Rui were full of bottles filled with water.
After picking a lot of green pepper fruits,
Nor dare to linger for a long time near the creek,
Follow the mark they came from and hurry back.
But when it comes, it is light,
When they went back, the weight of at least dozens of catties of water was added to the two of them.
So the speed is still greatly affected.
As when I came,
Gu Xiaole still took the machete in front of him to open the way,
Lin Rui carried the small axe in his hand behind the hall.
Two people one after the other in the jungle Zhengzhou this,
Suddenly, Gu Xiaole in front waved his hand, and Lin Rui, who was signaling, stopped and didn't move.
After so many drills, Lin Rui and him can be regarded as a tacit understanding.
Seeing Gu Xiaole waving his hand, he immediately leaned down and slowly leaned near him,
Asked in a low voice:
"What's wrong?
What's the situation?"
Gu Xiaole kept scanning the surrounding environment,
After a long moment, he replied in a low voice:
"It's not clear yet,
But I think there's some big beast around here!"
Lin Rui's watery eyes widened and she followed in a circle for a long time.
But all around, except for the unknown birds at the top of the trees and the chirping of all kinds of insects in the grass,
There was no other sound,
Did this Gu Xiaole see that there was a large beast next to him?
However, her trust in Gu Xiaole now has reached the level of believing in gods,
Since he said that there was,
That's for sure!
It's better to follow him honestly.
Gu Xiaole didn't talk much,
Slowly use the machete in his hand to push away the weeds in front of him little by little,
Nothing was found,
A few more steps forward,
Suddenly raised his head, and sniffed the air as hard as a police dog.
"What did you find?" Lin Rui asked again.
"There's a strong fishy smell here,
I suspect that we entered some area of activity of large predators,
You must follow me closely!"
Fishy smell?
Lin Rui also sniffed hard,
But she didn't find anything special.
But since Gu Xiaole said so,
There must be a reason for him,
I had to hold the little axe in my hand,
Follow him closely without leaving each step.
The two of them quietly advanced for almost 10 meters.
Suddenly, the two of them heard a burst of chirping almost at the same time,
It sounds familiar.
Lin Rui recalled carefully,
This should be, yes, the cry of a monkey!
Sure enough, the two of them followed the prestige,
On the branch of a tree about ten meters high, there is a little monkey with yellow hair,
The monkey looked far from an adult,
It doesn't look like it's 20 centimeters tall, so it's supposed to be a cub following a female monkey.
It's just that it's chattering and chattering,
And kept tearing some branches from the tree and throwing them at the zero tree not far away.
But when Lin Rui set his eyes on the tree,
I was almost scared and sat on the ground,
Because on one of the trunks of that big tree there is actually a colorful python entwined!
"This, this is a forest snake?"
Gu Xiaole was also frightened and took a step back.
The forest python, a predator at the top of the food chain in the rainforest,
will attempt to attack any creature it can entangle.
It even has a crocodile-like behemoth on its recipe.
They are the largest snake species in the world,
According to the data, the largest forest snake can be more than 10 meters long!
Of course, the forest snake in front of me is obviously not that big,
However, the body length must be at least about 5 meters by visual inspection.
However, what puzzled Gu Xiaole and Lin Rui was that
Why did the little monkey, who was still a cub, die to provoke this natural predator?
Gu Xiaole observed carefully,
only to find that the abdomen of the forest snake has a significant bulge,
And that guy faced the provocation of the little monkey cub,
It's a posture of ignoring everything,
Just lazily sunbathing comfortably on the trunk of a tree.
"That's ...... so"
Gu Xiaole nodded.
At this time, the little monkey saw that his provocation had no effect,
It seems to be a little more anxious,
Jumping up and down on the branches, wah, wow, wow
It's a pity that no matter what action it does,
The frog continued to sleep on the trunk as if it hadn't seen it.
"Is that little monkey playing a game of death?"
Lin Rui asked softly.
"Death? no, it's not!"
Gu Xiaole shook his head gently,
"It's actually trying to save its own mother!"
As he spoke, Gu Xiaole stretched out his hand and pointed to the slightly bulging belly of the forest snake.
"What? Save Mommy?
You're saying its mother was ...... by this snake."
I probably thought of the terrible scene when the forest snake devoured the monkey,
Lin Rui instinctively covered her small mouth.
"Nothing surprising,
This kind of jungle drama plays out every day.
By the way, do you want to eat snake meat?"
Suddenly, Gu Xiaole turned his head and asked with a strange smile at Lin Rui.
"What? Eat snake meat?
Do you mean to eat this big python?
I think it's pretty much the same as we eat!"
Lin Rui's head shook like a rattle in disapproval.
"Hehe,
In fact, the combat effectiveness of the python is not as powerful as that shown in film and television works,
After all, they are just cold-blooded animals, and the environment has a great influence on them.
And now this forest python is obviously in a dormant state that has just eaten,
At this time, as long as you don't provoke it,
It doesn't react much at all,
Believe it or not!"
As he spoke, Gu Xiaole reached out and picked up a small stone from the ground,
Aimed at the forest snake and threw it over.
"Smack",
The pebble hit the head of the forest python accurately,
But the guy only shook his huge head slightly,
He didn't even open his eyes, and continued to sleep like no one else.
"Really!
Is this guy so stupid?"
Lin Rui's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Well, at least for now, this thing is far less of a threat than a wild boar hyena.
Of course, if you come across a hungry forest snake in the jungle that is foraging,
Then you're in danger!"
After Gu Xiaole finished speaking, he put down the rope with the water bottle hanging on his body,
Swept the machete in his hand,
I tested the sharpness of the blade with my fingers,
Nodding with satisfaction,
Turning around, he made a gesture to Lin Rui to stay still.
Lin Rui grabbed Gu Xiaole,
"Are you crazy?
Do you want to kill the anaconda with this machete?
We don't have to take such a big risk!"
Lin Rui shook her head while persuading,
Tears rolled in his eyes.
Gu Xiaole shook Lin Rui's slippery little hand with his hand,
Motioned for her to let go.
"It's okay! Trust your captain!"
Gu Xiaole looked at Lin Rui with the confident gaze that he felt like the protagonist of the anime,
What he didn't know was that
In Lin Rui's eyes, this kind of gaze is very middle two!
But now that the captain has made up his mind,
Lin Rui had no choice but to let him go.
Gu Xiaole turned around,
Give the beauty behind you a back that thinks she is absolutely handsome,
With a machete in his hand,
Step by step, he gently moved towards the forest snake.
In fact, he didn't have much experience hunting pythons in the mountains before.
I just heard what the second uncle once said,
There were some large snakes in the mountains of my hometown a long time ago.
When his second uncle was a child,
I once saw people in the village tie a large python more than 3 meters long to the trunk of a tree.
dragged back,
Of course, the big python had just eaten a fawn.
I have a big bag in my belly,
Sleeping in a tree.
That's why this time he has so much confidence,
There is a way that Liu Bang slashed the white snake in ancient times, and eventually became a generation of heroes!
Today, I Gu Xiaole cut the forest python and became a master of picking girls!
