readx;
After looking at the watch on his wrist, Zhuang Rui was shocked into a cold sweat, he actually slept for four or five hours, and during this time, he and Peng Fei were not harmed by animals. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Whew......"
Just when Zhuang Rui wanted to insist on whether he had been stung by a snake bite and a scorpion, a low roar of King Kong came from under the tree, and this guy also saw Zhuang Rui wake up.
"Brother Zhuang, why don't you wake me up......"
King Kong's roar woke up Peng Fei on another tree, this guy was indeed tired yesterday, longer than Zhuang Rui slept.
"Uh, look at how well you sleep, it will make you sleep a little longer......"
Zhuang Rui's old face flushed, he was embarrassed to say that he was asleep, and after using his aura to swim around his body and find that it was okay, Zhuang Rui climbed down from the tree.
"Brother Zhuang, I can't be too busy today, I was so tired yesterday, if something happens, I can't cope with it......"
After resting for the night, Peng Fei was in good spirits, but when he remembered yesterday's rapid march, he also had palpitations, and he was so tired yesterday that he almost lost the strength to climb trees.
"Whew!"
After hearing Peng Fei's words, King Kong suddenly pounded his chest at Peng Fei, if it weren't for the friendship between him and Zhuang Rui, King Kong would have slipped away quietly early in the morning, where would he wait until now?
"Eat something first, King Kong, anyway, don't rush this little effort, you kid have a little patience, okay......"
Zhuang Rui knocked on King Kong's head, and Peng Fei, who was looking at it, trembled in his heart, after experiencing the violent killing of King Kong yesterday, Peng Fei could no longer associate King Kong with the harmless and honest appearance of humans and animals before.
"Woo ......"
King Kong held his head and whimpered, made a few gestures to Zhuang Rui, and then rushed into the jungle next to him.
"Brother Zhuang, what is it going to do?" Peng Fei couldn't understand King Kong's body language.
"I'm going to hunt for food, and I said I'll make a barbecue ...... later," Zhuang Rui said with a smile, getting up and picking up some dead branches on the ground, preparing to light a bonfire.
In this kind of tropical rainforest, there is no fear of causing fires, because due to the climate, the ground is covered with damp decay with moisture, which is difficult to ignite.
About ten minutes later, Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei heard a roar and wailing of animals in the distance at the same time, and after waiting for a few more minutes, King Kong ran back with a leopard in one hand.
This is a jungle leopard, covered with brownish yellow and white stripes, the fur is very beautiful, and the commendable thing is that this leopard has no scars on the surface of its body, but the skull is dented, and it was obviously killed by King Kong's punch.
"Hey, I haven't eaten leopard meat yet, Peng Fei, I'll leave it to you, but this leopard skin is completely peeled and brought back to nitrate, it's a very good thing......"
Zhuang Rui threw the dead leopard to Peng Fei, and he was not as skilled as Peng Fei in this skinning thing.
"What's so good about this thing, the meat is all sour......"
Peng Fei pursed his lips, and then said: "Find a water source, otherwise there is no way to strip and wash ......"
"Whoa!" After hearing Peng Fei's words, King Kong grabbed the leopard's forelimbs and ran towards the forest.
"Let's go, keep up with ......"
Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei followed King Kong for about a kilometer or so, and a waterhole covering an area of about twenty or thirty meters appeared in front of the two, and several small animals that were drinking water were frightened by Zhuang Rui's team and fled in all directions.
After seeing King Kong's divine courage yesterday, Zhuang Rui's fear of the forest in his heart was much smaller, except for releasing the aura more than ten meters around his body to guard against poisonous snakes, he was not as nervous as yesterday.
After Peng Fei skinned the leopard, Zhuang Rui found a big branch and directly skewered it and hung it on the bonfire, and after roasting it, he cut some meat and tasted it, and sure enough, it was a little sour, so he threw it all to King Kong to eat.
This guy doesn't care whether it's sour or not, he gnawed a leopard weighing dozens of pounds clean with three strokes and five divided by two, and casually threw the leopard's bones into the pool.
After this guy was full of food and drink, Zhuang Rui asked, "King Kong, how far is it?"
He and Peng Fei broke into the forest without permission, and the people outside must be very anxious, Zhuang Rui also wanted to find the gorilla population as soon as possible, and then return to the base where the company was located.
"Whew......"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, King Kong stood up and pointed in one direction, and then waved his arms with a very excited expression.
"Let's go, there are still dozens of kilometers, try to get there at night......"
Zhuang Rui stood up as he spoke, but after he picked up the huge package of provisions, his face suddenly changed.
"Brother Zhuang, what's wrong?"
"It seems that someone has entered this forest, I feel very bad, Peng Fei, is there a way to erase all the traces of our stay??"
Zhuang Rui's face was ugly, because when he habitually released his aura just now, he found that on the way they came before, there were more than a dozen humanoid creatures moving along the path opened up by King Kong.
Of course, Zhuang Rui would not think that the team was for gorillas to go on an outing, and judging from the weapons they carried, these people were not scientists with eyes in the African jungle.
"Anyone?"
Peng Fei's face became serious when he heard this, and he followed King Kong into this forest, those so-called python beasts were no longer a threat, and now only humans could threaten him and Zhuang Rui.
For Zhuang Rui's "feeling", Peng Fei has long been imperceptibly convinced, Zhuang Rui said that if he feels bad, there will definitely be danger.
"Brother Zhuang, the traces of the two of us can be erased, but the ...... of King Kong"
When Peng Fei said this, he glanced at King Kong with some embarrassment, this guy's size was too large, and when he walked through the forest, it was like a steamroller passing by, and there was no way to remove the traces.
Zhuang Rui thought for a while, and said: "In this way, let's eliminate the traces of the two of us first, and turn back King Kong to walk from the tree, and we can't let people hang behind us......"
Although I don't know what the identity of the people behind is, there are eighteen of them, and if they catch up and have a conflict, Zhuang Rui doesn't think that he can deal with the human beings with modern weapons with a hundred enemies.
Fortunately, after entering the depths of the forest, there was basically no human presence here for hundreds of years, and the trees grew extremely thick and tall, and King Kong walked through the trees, but he did not break the entire tree as before.
On the ground, Zhuang Rui walked in front, and Peng Fei followed behind to eliminate the footprints of the two of them, but in this way, their speed of movement was much slower.
However, the people behind also seemed to have some scruples, and the forest was full of dangers, so the speed of their march was not very fast, and after three or four hours, they came to the place where Zhuang Rui and the others were barbecuing.
In the middle of this, it rained heavily in the forest, and the rain flowed from the trunks of the trees to the ground, washing away all the traces that Peng Fei had not cleaned up.
……
Next to the waterhole where Zhuang Rui and the others once stayed, a team wearing raincoats gathered, and within fifty meters of the team, there were sentry posts, and now these people were professionally trained.
"David, those two guys and the gorilla have all gone, I see...... Except for them, I'm afraid there is no one who can get so close to and photograph gorillas......
While tracking yesterday's gorillas, Markram was surprised to find that there were two human footprints behind the gorillas, which made them even more shocked.
They have made a lot of speculations along the way, the most reliable of which is what Mark Rum just said, you know, in this birthplace and last paradise of gorillas, but there are many scientists who have been tracking and studying it for more than ten or twenty years.
Since these scientists are not involved in politics and have a national background behind them, in general, the tribes and armed forces in the forests of Central Africa are relatively friendly to them.
It is not good to kidnap these "poor people" and get into trouble, even the terrorists are too lazy to deal with them, so after making an analysis, Macram once wanted to give up tracking them.
However, the direction pointed on the map was the same as that of the gorilla, so Makram's team kept the same direction as the two men and one beast in front of them, but after this rainstorm, the two men and the beast were gone.
After hearing Mark Ram's analysis, David spoke: "Ram, forget it, let's just go find the treasure, there is no need to get along with a beast......"
To be honest, the bloody scene yesterday scared David a lot, and he was worried all the way, and now that he had lost the trace of the beast, David's heart was relaxed.
After resting by the waterhole for more than an hour, the "explorers" followed the guidance of the map and continued their treasure hunt.
The day passed quickly, and the night was shrouded in the forest, and all kinds of animals that foraged for food in the evening or late at night came out of their nests, and the forest was more lively at night than the silence of the day.
Whether it was Zhuang Rui and the others in front or the adventurers in the back, they all stopped at the same time, they didn't want to be the target of the jungle killers.
Peng Fei quickly climbed to a big tree more than ten meters high, and said to Zhuang Rui, who was wearing a camouflage uniform and seemed to be one with the tree: "Brother Zhuang, someone really caught up, I only saw the scouts in front, and it is estimated that there will be no less than ten people in the back......"
"Damn, the ghost is not gone......"
Zhuang Rui was also a little annoyed, he didn't know how the other party could identify his route, and a heavy rain couldn't make them lose their way.
