Chapter 678: Mountains in the Distance
Nigaya, southwestern part of the Nsuka region, on the edge of the Sotu rainforest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Nature's ingenuity has created the unique climate of the Suotu Rainforest.
Nestled in the middle of a desolate grassland, this green island is home to a myriad of plants and species that even the oldest inhabitants of the region do not recognize.
The local residents have a consensus that the Suotu rainforest at night is a forbidden place for humans.
Just last week, he celebrated his twentieth birthday, and was one of the lucky natives who was born in a nearby village.
Being able to join General Mopp's guard was their greatest luck.
So in the 500-person exploration team hand-picked by Baz, the local Mampia, who was born there, was fortunate enough to be appointed as a temporary captain, leading nine subordinates to the mountains in search of that magical mineral.
The outer mountains of the Sotu Rainforest have a rough outline in Mampiya's mind. So he chose to go to the farthest side of the Sotu rainforest to find minerals.
Because in his mind, if there were such minerals clustered like gems in the nearby mountains, they would not escape the eyes of the inhabitants who had lived here for generations. Since Mampia had never heard of such a thing since he was a child, the other search teams would return empty-handed if they searched the nearby mountains.
On the other side of the Suotu Rainforest, there are no people, where the mountains are steep, and further north is the treacherous desert where no grass grows, and it seems that all the nutrients of this land have been absorbed by the Suotu Rainforest, and even the locals will not set foot in it. That's where minerals are most likely to be found.
As soon as the nine team members heard that Mampia's hometown was nearby, they didn't have much mobilization, and they drove their pickup trucks towards the steep mountains there.
Wealth and danger are sought, and they don't even have the courage to take risks and fight for their lives, so what else can they talk about getting ahead?
The thrilling, inaccessible Sotu Rainforest is home to many wild animals that make their homes around the rainforest.
A cheetah lurked behind the rocks, and as they passed through the Mampia, it unleashed a lightning blast.
Mampiya and the others were taken aback, if they hadn't brought two assault rifles with them, or if they hadn't stood on the pickup and had been a little away from the cheetah for two seconds, the deadly hunters bred by the African savannah, who could easily bite their throats with just one shot.
Humans with bare hands, no matter how much they pile in front of the cheetah, there is no point.
Eventually, the pickup stopped at the foot of the mountain, and Mampiah and his companions crept cautiously towards the mountainside, and when they came across small gravel, they quickly picked it up with a dagger.
With the scorching sun blazing overhead, Mampia and his party rummaged from the afternoon to the evening, and from the scorching heat to the sky with dark clouds.
They found a lot of colorful ore, but it was not the kind that Chief Buzz described.
The enthusiasm of a few hours ago had been destroyed by the unforgiving reality and exhausted bodies, and they began to curse, throwing rocks at any wild animals they encountered, or making up for them, and driving them away in panic.
Just as they were about to give up and return to camp in a pickup truck, a sturdy wild goat with brown fur and curled horns on its head appeared in front of them.
Mampia subconsciously smashed a stone over, and waited until the wild goat "blea~" to run away with a strange cry, and then he reacted, if he really couldn't find the kind of ore described by the chief, then this fat and strong wild goat might be a good "harvest." ”
"Give it a shot!" Mampia shouted excitedly.
The assault rifle rang out, but unfortunately the agile goat had already jumped elsewhere, and then disappeared behind a low tree with a dodge......
Mampia and his party rubbed their eyes fiercely, did they bump into the hell?
There was only a lone dwarf tree there, and the goat had nowhere to hide, so how could it disappear?
Holding the muzzle of the gun, a group of people leaned together and walked over bravely, only to find that there was an inconspicuous cave hidden in the rock wall behind the low tree, the cave was just enough for one person to get into, and the black hole inside seemed to be very deep and the area was also very large.
Mampia and the others were stunned, they remembered that before leaving, Chief Buzz had explained that cliffs and caves were the best objects to explore.
Fortunately, they brought flashlights, and the most daring Maampia was the first.
The cave ** is very dry, but there is a fishy smell that does not come out, but the assault rifle is in hand, there is a lion in it, and Mampiya is not afraid.
"Baa~Baa~"
After walking a few meters, the cave turned to the side, and when the light passed, Mampia saw the wild goat,
It was shivering, and under the light, its eyes were grayish-white, and it seemed to be full of pain.
Hole**, a gasp sounded one after another.
Because......
At the end of the cave, not only the goat's eyes were reflective, but the stones behind the goat were dotted with small yellow gems like diamonds.
They are tightly clustered together, and the light shines on them, giving them a dreamy glow.
If it weren't for the rocks above their heads, the Mampia group would definitely be able to jump three feet high in excitement.
Yellow, clustered like diamonds, isn't this the kind of magical mineral that Chief Buzz is talking about?
"Quick~ Xilang, you go to the pickup truck and radio to Captain Buzz, so that they can bring someone over immediately. The sudden arrival of luck made Mampia directly ignore the strong goat that shivered and showed a painful expression.
Someone at the back of the group immediately answered, and hurried out of the cave.
No one thought that after the companion who reported the news ran out, the goat suddenly knelt down with a "poof~".
"God, this goat actually kneels!"
"Begging for mercy, or is this its nest, and how many cubs are hiding behind it?" said Mampia, who was in a good mood and amazed, and did not mind letting go of the goat, which had brought them good luck. There are so many animals in the mountains, although they are not as delicious as goat meat, they can also be satisfied, right?
But before he could show his kindness, the goat, which had fallen on its knees, kicked on all fours, and twitched violently on the ground, rolled its eyes upward, and let out a terrible cry, and saw that it was on the verge of death.
Mampia and his party were frightened and panicked, and the scene in front of them was really weird. The shot had clearly hit the stone, and the shattered stones and sparks proved that the goat was unharmed.
"It's... There's here... Is there a devil?" a soldier younger than Mampia, hiding around the corner, his legs swinging in fright.
"Just... Even if... There's the devil, and it's going to get out of here, this... This place belongs to us. "Mampiya's upper and lower front teeth fought in fright.
They hid behind the corner, watching the goat twitch for a while, black blood foaming from the corners of its mouth, and its body remained motionless, even the chest cavity was undulating.
Someone was emboldened and threw a stone at him.
The goats didn't react at all, but they heard a sound in their ears, and then a strange giant snake with a turquoise body and a flattened triangular head larger than an egg poked its head out from behind the goat.
Its pupils seemed to be greener than the green gem minerals embedded in the stone, making people's scalp tingle to the point of exploding in an instant, and the hairs on their whole body stood on end.
"Ahh
Mampia's brain went blank in an instant, and the boundless fear subconsciously turned into a powerful pull of the trigger to save himself.
At the same time as the muzzle of the gun erupted, the terrifying serpent also sprang up in an instant, launching a death attack towards the throat of Mampia.
"Bang~"
The head of a giant serpent, which was three meters long and entrenched in the pile of green ore, unfortunately exploded in mid-air. The 7.62mm bullet that could kill the elephant easily blasted its head open and pierced a cluster of green minerals on the rock wall behind it.
At the same time that the green ore shattered into powder, some of it turned into ethereal white smoke.
The green snake was lucky to be killed, and before Mampia could rejoice, he suddenly smelled an indescribable strange smell in his nose, followed by a strong feeling of nausea in his stomach.
