There was a violent storm outside the window, and the man snorted very softly, and there were three people in the room only Gu Tianyou heard it, so he immediately got up in his clothes and chased him out under the pretext of going to the toilet. There was no one outside the house, and Gu Tianyou came to the courtyard again, but still found nothing. The movement of this person outside the window is fast.

The next morning, the expedition team was on the road again, the sky was temporarily clear, the sky was clear, and the fresh air was more enjoyable than marijuana. The romantic cells of several students came to life again, sitting on elephants and talking about the scenery along the way, the grassy forests, the golden-domed temples, and the beautiful world. Five mercenaries sat on elephants, silent like five statues.

All the way to the west, along the repaired Thai-Burma Highway, from time to time you have to pass through a large section of Zeguo, and on the way to Mae Hong Son, you can often see the same traveler's car broken down on the side of the road waiting for rescue. At present, it is still in Thailand, which is relatively much safer, and the road is relatively easy to walk. The tuskless elephant said that when he got out of Mae Hong Son, there would be no such a smooth path to follow, and the Thai border guards were able to cope with it, but it was the mountain army patrol that was difficult to deal with.

The number of mountain troops is limited, and Gu Tianyou analyzed that there should not be too many people in a group of people to patrol in such a large area. Liu Feng said in a relaxed tone that the scale of less than 100 people is not a concern. The toothless elephant is the squadron leader of the Guo Jiajun Special Operations Brigade, and he is also considered half an expert in jungle warfare, and he has been dealing with people from the mountain army for a long time, so he naturally knows how powerful the other party is. Hearing Liu Feng say this, he couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced.

After continuing to the west for forty or fifty kilometers, the road in front of them was washed out, and a certain village upstream was damaged, and the corpses of people and animals were washed down by the water, which frightened several college students into silence, and suddenly they lost any mood to watch the wind and scenery. Everywhere you look, there is no road to follow.

Gu Tianyou just wanted to tell them that the really difficult journey had not yet begun, when he suddenly heard someone calling for help in Chinese, following the voice, on a bus shelter on the side of the road hundreds of meters away, there was a traveler, the water was turbulent, and the person was trapped on it for an unknown amount of time.

In a foreign land, seeing compatriots in distress, there is no reason to see death and not to be saved.

Gu Tianyou and his party came closer, it turned out to be an ordinary young girl, with a good figure, wet and soupy, carrying a large travel bag, looking very embarrassed, looking expectant and begging: "Help me, I am Chinese, please help me." ”

Gu Tianyou nodded, there were two elephants in the team who were specifically responsible for camel supplies, and several mercenaries spread the materials on one of the elephants to the other elephants, and settled the girl on the elephant. Seeing that the elephant lowered its body, the girl was not nervous, and jumped on the elephant's back lightly.

"What's your name, and how did you get stuck here?"

"Thank you for saving me, Jiang Fei, Fenghua people, I study biology. The girl's elephant and Gu Tianyou walked side by side and stretched out their hands generously.

Gu Tianyou shook hands with her and said, "Miss Jiang, fortunately, you haven't said why you're trapped here." ”

Jiang Fei said: "I am studying biology, and there is an academic exchange activity with the Royal Academy here, originally several of us came here to collect biological specimens, but I didn't expect to encounter a hurricane, our car was overturned by a flash flood last night, I got out of the car and was washed here by the water and trapped all night." ”

Gu Tianyou said: "You must be hungry, right?"

Jiang Fei said: "I have chocolate in my bag, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hold on to it now." ”

Gu Tianyou said: "We have an investigation project, it is impossible to stop for you, there are still thirty kilometers ahead of Ye Fengsong, let's send you there and go your own way." ”

Jiang Fei sighed and said, "I don't know how my friends are doing now." ”

Gu Tianyou said: "In this situation, although I know that I can't count on the local police, I have no other hope, so I can only call the police." ”

Jiang Fei said: "There are so many of you, there are elephants and guns, can't you take me to find my companions? As he spoke, he looked like he wanted to cry.

Gu Tianyou hadn't agreed yet, and the old professor on the side interjected: "Mr. Gu, they are all compatriots, if you can help, help her, just throw her to Ye Fengsong, now in this situation, it is difficult for her to guarantee that there will be no other accidents as a girl." ”

Everyone has compassion.

Gu Tianyou is not hard-hearted, although he still has some questions about this girl in his heart, he still nodded and said, "Okay, you can follow first." ”

Jiang Fei thanked again and again.

The further west you go, the harder the path becomes. Elephants are one of the most intelligent animals, they can sense the changes in the water in advance, avoid the evil, and choose the most correct way to move forward. Gradually, the team has left the road, and the GPS shows that it seems to have bypassed the city of Mae Hong Son.

The further you go, the denser the forest, and the more obvious the upward trend of the mountain. At first, you can occasionally see cooking smoke and rice fields, but after you get away from the people, you can only see the old forest forest, and the shrubs and strange stones are all over the sides. The deeper you go, the more you can't see people. The road ahead is rugged and the environment is unimaginably complex, in addition to the dense jungles and swamps that see the light of day, there are also poisonous snakes and beasts, and the demon mist is raging.

On one occasion he even encountered a five-meter-long python, which frightened several students into ecstasy. The mercenary who had no brains to give Gu Tianyou a name, but jumped off the elephant with an excited whistle, grabbed the python's tail, and after a little play, he wanted to use a dagger to peel it for meat. The students were stunned and admired, and they didn't have the brains to hold down the snake's head and were about to start, but that Jiang Fei suddenly shouted to stop!

"This python is pregnant, and it is unlucky to kill it. Jiang Fei explained: "Such a big python will live for at least ten or twenty years, and it would be a pity to destroy the biological structure of the region if it is killed." ”

I didn't have the brains to glance at Gu Tianyou, these mercenaries are all unruly, except for the words of the God of Wealth, it doesn't matter what anyone else says. Gu Tianyou waved his hand and said, "Let it go, it's auspicious." ”

Jiang Fei said: "GPS shows that this should be the Python Mountain on the border of Thailand and Myanmar, which belongs to the main branch of the Rakhine Mountains, more than 200 kilometers long, rich in species and unimaginable, are you planning to look for mineral veins here?" she looked at Professor Qin and asked.

Gu Tianyou took over and said, "It's just passing by." ”

Jiang Fei said with some concern: "There are Koyaks and Rakhine people in this mountain, and there are a few Kachin people who settle down, and the Rakhine people are better to say, mainly because the Koyaks and Kachin people have a tradition of headhunting, and it will be very dangerous if they run into it." ”

Gu Tianyou asked with a smile: "Do you know anything scary, you might as well say it in one go, maybe I'll turn around and go back to China as soon as I'm afraid." ”

Jiang Fei said: "The destination of my visit to collect biological specimens this time is Python Mountain, on the way from Bangkok, I heard Professor Zhang here say that there is a local legend, there is a golden-scaled python here, it is said to be 100 meters long, as thick as an oak barrel, occupying a radius of 100 miles, and the locals dare not enter the area where it is active. ”

A 100-meter-long golden-scaled python?

Gu Tianyou smiled secretly in his heart, and said that he was studying biology, which sounded like the words of those who controlled insects.

The world's longest recorded python, which is only 14 meters, was found on the island of North Sumatra in Borneo. After that, pythons that exceed 10 meters are very rare. The 100 opera diagram of the harrier door says that the python is born as a half-worm, the insect in the python is a worm, likes to inhabit in the hundred-zhang pit, preys in the water to the yin, the first 100 years are ten meters long, the period is three times a year, and then three years a molt, and the molt only grows less than one point at a time. The hundred-meter python grows for at least a thousand years.

The toothless elephant leaned over and said with a serious expression: "I have also heard the legend of the Golden Scale Python King, it is said that more than 20 years ago, a mountain army patrol team tracked a person into the territory of the Golden Scale Python King, but none of them came out. ”

Gu Tianyou said: "Since even you said so, more things are better than less things, then go around." ”

The toothless elephant said: "Actually, there is no need to deliberately detour, the elephants are very smart, and they will naturally bypass it when they reach the territory of the Golden Scale Python King." ”

Gu Tianyou pondered with regret: The python's golden scales are 100 meters long, and there is no record of even the Gumen Insect Sutra, most of them are ancient xenomorphs, but unfortunately I couldn't see it with my own eyes.

The toothless elephant frowned and said: "I'm actually not worried about the Golden Scale Python King, after all, it's just a legend, it's still uncertain whether it really exists, as for the giant crocodile in the water, it's actually not to be afraid, no matter how powerful it is, it won't be more powerful than the gun in our hands, what I'm most worried about is actually a leech." ”

Gu Tianyou said: "What is there to worry about leeches? When I took you to train before, did I have less to deal with that thing?"

The toothless elephant shook his head and said: "This kind of different, called the female locust leech, is rarely seen in ordinary years, but once there is a hurricane in the old forest, some old caves are filled with water, this thing will come out of the depths of the ground, once it enters the human body, it will immediately ovulate in large quantities, the mother worm will also burrow into the human brain to destroy the pain nerves, within a few hours, the larvae will suck up the human blood, but the person is unaware, inadvertently move the neck, the head will fall off, and then you will see that the cavity is full of small leeches." ”

Damn, I really shouldn't let this thing finish talking, it's too demoralizing. Gu Tianyou cursed in his heart. His gaze quietly swept over the rest of the team, and he saw that the five mercenaries looked as usual, completely unconcerned. Professor Qin sighed, and the five students looked curious and scared. Jiang Fei's reaction was a little flat, perhaps it should be said that he was calm.

After crossing the two ridges that day, the terrain gradually lowered, and the various plants in the jungle became more and more dense and rich, and it was almost impossible to find a place to stay.

Towering old branches and trunks are staggered, some trees are even as high as eighty or ninety meters, because the shade is heavy, the air in the dense forest also appears extraordinarily gloomy, the faint smoke is diffused in the jungle, from time to time you can see the giant python that inhabits the ancient trees, you can't call the name "poisonous snakes, insects", abound, there are crocodiles in the dense jungle and the river from time to time, there are groups of tadpoles in the water, the body is huge like a fist, I really don't know how big it will be after evolving into a toad.

Rao is Gu Tianyou and others have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their courage is extraordinary, and they can't help but feel trembling and afraid when they are in this dark green corridor of life. Several students trembled with fright, and hugged the saddle on the elephant's back as if grasping a life-saving straw.

Suddenly, the tuskless elephant of the guide officer who walked in front let out a whistle indicating danger!
