【Chapter 108】 Jungle Wolf Trail

After a delicious dinner, the members of the expedition team took turns to bathe in the shallows of the river to wash away the fatigue accumulated in the past two days. Although there are all kinds of dangers in tropical rivers, with an old man like Wang Huaan leading the team, it was easy for the expedition team to find a safe place to bathe in the river bay.

The cool river water poured on his body, Liu Rui suddenly hit a spirit, these clear river water with the aura of the mountains drove away the fatigue very well, and made Liu Rui energetic.

Although it was already October, there were still fireflies in the small green hills, and they continued to shine faintly, floating leisurely above the small river. The bright moonlight in the sky also poured on the surface of the river without hindrance, sparkling waves.

The sounds of frogs and insects began to resound throughout the valley, for whom night was meant to be happy. The sound of one after another is like a beautiful serenade, which makes people involuntarily immersed in it, and no longer feel tired.

The birds that chirped in the evening had fallen silent, except for the occasional mournful call of the owl, alerting the people of their presence. The dark forest is like a huge monster, crawling in the middle of the mountain, and it is intimidating.

Unlike the situation of camping on the boulder two days ago, camping in the bamboo forest is bound to be more dangerous, especially those bamboo leaves that call the bamboo forest as their home, but it is not so easy to mess with. To this end, Wang Hua'an sprinkled a large amount of herbs mixed with realgar powder along the perimeter of the camp, in order to disperse these creatures who seemed to be close to bamboo.

After chatting around the campfire for a while, Liu Rui and the others returned to their tents, ready to sleep, recuperate, and prepare for the next day's trip.

The yellow-throated marten seems to have relied on Liu Rui, Liu Rui got into the tent with his front foot, and it followed in with his hind foot. In the face of such a ruffian yellow-throated mink, Liu Rui was also helpless, and with a wry smile, he made room for it in the corner of the tent.

Liu Rui didn't expect that two days after entering the mountain, he would gain a small follower, and judging from the current performance, this follower is quite good. When you march, you don't cause trouble for yourself, you don't hold back, and you can hunt when you camp, but it's like a hunting dog.

After entering the tent, the yellow-throated marten did not run around, let alone bite the things in the tent, but lay in the corner of the tent very obediently, staring at Liu Rui with dark eyes.

Ever since he met Liu Rui at close range and felt the aura emanating from Liu Rui's body, the yellow-throated marten had already made up his mind to keep up with Liu Rui. For the yellow-throated marten, which has a very sensitive sense, a person who can have this kind of breath will feel extremely comfortable as long as he follows him.

Looking at the well-behaved yellow-throated marten, Liu Rui reached out and turned off the energy-saving lamp hanging on the top of the tent and prepared to sleep.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the whole small green mountain had fallen into silence, and even the noisy frogs just now seemed to be tired, and their cries were inaudible. For the past three days, after getting up in the morning, the team has been moving forward, even for lunch, just nibbling on compressed biscuits and drinking plain water to save time.

Although Liu Rui's physical fitness has strengthened during this time, the high-intensity march for three consecutive days also made him feel some muscle soreness, and he will soon fall asleep when he lies in the sleeping bag.

However, just as he was half asleep, a terrible voice suddenly sounded in his ears, waking him up from his dream.

Liu Rui, who woke up, reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead, Liu Rui was a little strange, how could he have nightmares?

Shaking his head, Liu Rui turned over and continued to want to sleep.

But at this time, those terrible cries began to sound again, flickering far and near, some ethereal feeling, which made people a little panicked. Liu Rui listened for a while, and then he was convinced that this was not his dream or hallucination, but a real voice.

"What animal makes such a penetrating sound?" Liu Rui listened to it for a while, but still couldn't think of why.

Although Liu Rui grew up in a mountain village, most of the environments in which he lived had been reclaimed by humans, and the wild animals he could usually see were only pheasants and hares. He rarely enters the mountains, so it is naturally impossible for him to judge what kind of animal the other party is from some somewhat ethereal sounds?

"Whatever, there are so many people in the camp, it's going to be fine!" Liu Rui thought about it for a while, and then put his mind at ease.

However, Liu Rui, who closed his eyes and wanted to continue sleeping, unexpectedly found that those screams seemed to be getting closer and closer, and the noise was getting louder and louder. At this time, Liu Rui heard the sound of Yu Shanwei getting up next door, and turned his head to see that the tent was revealing a faint light, and Yu Shanwei turned on the electric light.

Seeing the others get up, Liu Rui couldn't lie down anymore, and the surname Suo also got up, turned on the light, and then got out of the tent.

"Teacher Yu, what's wrong?" Xiaoqingshan in October was a little cool at night, and Liu Rui, who had just come out of the tent, suddenly felt a chill.

"There seems to be a wolf pack nearby, I'll get up and take a look!" Seeing Liu Rui who had a head out of the tent, Yu Shanwei did not hide it.

"Wolves?!" Liu Rui suddenly shuddered, and his originally somewhat drowsy head suddenly woke up.

In the past, whether it was film and television works or novels, Liu Rui knew that wolves were often one of the most dangerous animals in the forest and grassland, and once people encountered them, it meant danger. Even, when he was a child, when his grandmother told Liu Rui stories, she would often scare him with wolves in the mountains. Over time, Liu Rui, like most ordinary people, has an inexplicable fear of wolves.

At this time, Liu Rui found that the team members in the other tents were also one after another, and soon, the white light of the energy-saving lamps was lit up from each tent, which added a bit of enchanting atmosphere to the dark night.

"Fourth, this voice shouldn't be far away, right?" Yu Shanwei, who was wearing his clothes and walking quickly towards Wang Huaan, asked.

"It's probably on the hill in front, at most five or six miles!" Listening to the wolf cry in his ears, Wang Huaan's expression was a little solemn.

"Five or six miles?!" Yu Shanwei gasped, and then asked, "What should we do now?" ”

"This camp is in no danger to defend, and we don't have enough weapons, so we can only retreat to the other side of the river and make plans again!" Hearing that the wolf howl seemed to be getting closer and closer, Wang Huaan looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said with difficulty.

According to old legends, a few nights before and after the full moon night was the time for the wolves to forage for food, and now a group of people in the expedition group appeared in the area of influence of the wolves, and the danger was self-evident. Fortunately, the wolves had not yet discovered the existence of the expedition team, otherwise they would not have heard their howls.

Wolves are cunning, and if they find a suitable target, the wolves will quietly approach and then look for an opportunity to launch a deadly attack.

"Then let's do it!" At the critical moment, Yu Shanwei was not a little hesitant, after all, any hesitation at this time would cause great danger.

"Xiaoqiang, Qiu Rong, you quickly bring the inflatable raft and inflator to the river and start inflating, and after the others pack up the necessary things, they will rush to the river immediately!" The matter was urgent, and Wang Huaan was no longer verbose, and directly gave the order.

When he was in Liangcun, the members of the investigation team also received various emergency training and knew what to do in various crisis situations, so Wang Huaan's order did not cause any confusion.

The members of the investigation team, who had already been alarmed, began to act one by one, each with their own responsibilities, and although there was chaos in the camp, there was no chaos.

After hearing the order, Fu Xiaoqiang and Qiu Rong, who were in charge of the raft and inflators, hurriedly picked up the equipment placed in the center of the camp and ran desperately towards the river. Fortunately, the moon is very round today, and the bright moonlight provides great convenience for their movements, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

None of the others asked why, but silently but quickly packed up some necessary baggage and prepared to evacuate. Although Liu Rui had a stomach full of questions, he also knew that this was not the time to speak, so he could only silently put the various foods he was carrying into his backpack.

There was no way to put away the tent anyway, and the pots and pans placed in the center of the camp were even more impossible to put away, so the team members only needed to put away food, medicine, and all kinds of scientific research equipment.

Just as he was packing up his things, Liu Rui heard those wolves that seemed to be getting closer and closer, as if they were ringing in his ears.

To be honest, if Liu Rui were in this situation alone, he would definitely be scared to the point that his hands and feet would be weak, after all, wolves have always been a very terrifying thing in his heart. Fortunately, now that there are so many people in the inspection team, Liu Rui still feels a little safe.

The investigation team had already carried out corresponding training when they were in Liangcun, so everyone packed their things quickly, and Liu Rui quickly put all the necessary things into his backpack, picked them up and ran to the river.

Liu Rui's movements were fast, and the other members of the investigation team were not slow, almost when Liu Rui ran to the river, the others also carried their bags and ran wildly all the way.

As if sensing the escape of the investigation team, the howls of the wolves became more and more terrible, and the speed at which they approached was also increasing.

Fu Xiaoqiang, who was inflating the raft by the river, hated that he couldn't walk slowly in time, so that he could finish filling both rafts. In order to reduce the burden, the inspection team only brought a set of inflatable equipment, although the inflator with very small power can fill the raft, but the speed is naturally not fast.

Five minutes had passed, and the first raft was only half infant, and seeing that the sound of the wolves was getting closer and closer, Fu Xiaoqiang and Qiu Rong's palms were sweating.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Staring at the raft that was gradually bulging, Fu Xiaoqiang kept shouting in his heart!

At this time, the other members of the expedition team also ran to the river, waiting for the inflatable raft to be used, and crossed the river to avoid the wolves.

At the same time, the howls of the wolves were constantly approaching the river, as if they had smelled the smell of the expedition team!
