Chapter 431: Jungle Journey

The Amazon rainforest is located in the Amazon basin of South America and covers an area of 7 million square kilometers.

Spanning eight countries, it occupies half of the world's rainforest area and 20% of the world's forest area, making it the world's largest and most species-rich tropical rainforest, known as the "lungs of the earth".

Cao Wu and Fang Luxiao first went to La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, found the only Chinese-owned security company here, hired two bodyguards, and then set off from here to enter the Amazon.

In a small town on the edge of the rainforest, they found a good guide, chartered a small seaplane, and flew directly into the rainforest.

Fisher is a professional local tour guide who specializes in high-end tourists.

He will design a unique tour itinerary and arrange the itinerary according to the needs of the guests, and of course, the fee is not low.

High in the sky, Fang Luxiao overlooks the dense rainforest, and the undulating broad-leaved forest is like a hilly mountain range, stretching continuously, as if the entire planet is covered by forests.

The turquoise river, which is a tributary of the Amazon River, meanders and meanders.

For this trip, Fang Luxiao planned for half a year, and she longed to come to Amazon to see it in person a long time ago.

Fisher landed directly on the river and slowly drove into a shallow shoal surrounded by fallen dead trees to create a natural harbor.

This is not a well-established area on the outskirts of the rainforest or along the river, but a pristine jungle area that has been deep into the rainforest and is inaccessible.

After taking all the luggage and belongings off the plane, the group of five people carried large bags and walked towards the rainforest.

When Cao Wu and the others first arrived in La Paz, they had already been vaccinated with all the vaccines they could get, and mosquito bites in the rainforest must not be underestimated.

They caught up with a good day, and Fisher said that just the day before yesterday, it had ended a rain that had been falling for more than two weeks.

Sunlight casts dappled pillars of light from the dense foliage, and the pristine scenery is like a fairyland.

They'll be walking through the rainforest until tomorrow afternoon, when they'll be back for a flight.

The rainforest in the depths and the rainforest on the edge are two different concepts, and they didn't go far before they saw a dozen colorful wild birds, as well as a small python napping in the bushes.

Fisher said that it is possible to encounter jaguars here, but under normal circumstances, seeing the large number of people here, the jaguars will not take the initiative to provoke.

The route they took was taken by Fisher himself, and it was not ruled out that he deliberately scared people, and the two bodyguards hired by Cao Wu were not carrying burning sticks around their necks.

Walking in the primeval jungle is really difficult, not only do you have to climb high and low, but you also have to keep an eye on your feet and not step on poisonous snakes and centipedes.

But apparently there weren't that many venomous snakes waiting to be stepped on, and even if they were, they were stepped on by Fisher first - he led the way at the front.

After walking for more than an hour, Cao Wu and the others also found their own rhythm, and they were not as tired as at the beginning.

The natural pure oxygen in the rainforest made Cao Wu and the others not feel tired, but walked more and more smoothly.

"There is a waterfall not far in front and we rest there. Fischer pointed ahead, and there was a rumbling sound in the distance.

Many plants in the rainforest have sharp thorns or jagged teeth, which can easily injure you if you don't cover your body.

Fisher cleared a path with a machete, and carefully checked the ground beneath his feet to make sure there was no danger.

Cao Wu pulled Fang Luxiao and lowered his head to follow him.

Suddenly, Fisher stopped, Cao Wu and Fang Luxiao also stopped, and when they looked up, they were both stunned.

In front of me was a wide river, the clear water flowing quietly, and then suddenly disappeared in front of it, and the rumbling sound of water came from there.

The place they are in is on top of the waterfall!

"You can come here and see. Fisher beckoned, "Follow me." ”

So saying, he walked towards the mouth of the waterfall.

Cao Wu pulled Fang Luxiao to follow behind him, and cautiously came to the location of the waterfall mouth.

There was a wide expanse in front of me.

The 50-metre-low cliff causes the river to plummet into the pool below, splashing the sky with mist.

In the distance, there is an endless dense jungle, birds rise and fall in the forest, and a dozen huge white birds are lining up and flying towards the distant sky.

"It's so beautiful...... Fang Luxiao muttered, and then shouted excitedly: "It's so beautiful!"

A flock of birds rose up in the jungle, rose up, and a moment later fell into the adjacent jungle.

Cao Wu picked up the camera, included her and the beautiful scenery in the picture, and saved it.

"Brother Cao, sister, don't get too close, the stones next to the cliff are easy to loosen. Xiao Zhao, the bodyguard behind him, reminded.

Xiao Zhao is one year younger than Cao Wu, his ancestral home is Xichuan, and he immigrated here with his parents when he was a child.

The other bodyguard pony is Zhejiang, who has only been here for less than ten years.

Following their advice, Cao Wu and Fang Luxiao retreated from the edge of the cliff, followed Fisher to make a detour along the cliff, found a gentle slope, and slowly climbed to the bottom of the cliff.

Although the slope is relatively gentle, Cao Wu and Fang Luxiao are still tired and sweaty because of the big bags on their backs.

However, I washed my face with the cold water in the pool below the waterfall, and I felt very comfortable.

Fisher took out the gas stove, set up the pot, directly filled the water in the pool, and burned it.

Fang Luxiao took out instant noodles and volunteered to cook them, in the jungle, instant noodles are a very cost-effective food.

Fisher picked up a branch, made a rudimentary fishing rod, and dug two shovels in the soil that had been soaked with fallen leaves and bird droppings for many years, and found several earthworms.

Carrying a fishing rod and dangling by the waterhole for a while, Fang Luxiao's noodles were not yet cooked, and he came back with two live fish.

The two fish were slender, and Cao Wu looked at them, then sighed and asked, "Knife fish?"

The saury is also the long-jawed fish, which is very famous in China.

The Yangtze saury is endangered because of pollution and illegal fishing, but the Yangtze River is not the only one.

Saury is present in the brackish waters of Malaysia, the Amazon, western Borneo, and Phuket.

Cao Wu had only eaten the river knife twice in the magic capital, and he was very impressed, but he didn't expect to see the knife fish here.

Cao Wu couldn't help but get excited, he poured out the instant noodles in the pot with his hands, washed the pot, re-boiled the pot water, disemboweled and washed the saury, put it in a small plate, and put it in the pot to steam.

Fisher fished three more, but none as big as these two.

When the fish was steamed, Cao Wu couldn't wait to open the lid.

Although there is no green onion and ginger, there is no fishy smell at all.

I clamped one for Fang Luxiao, and Cao Wu also clamped one.

Pick up a chopstick, put it in your mouth, and the special aroma of oil occupies the entire mouth.

This is the freshest saury, even the two meals of saury that Cao Wu ate in China are not as fresh.
