Wang Pengyu looked at Ge Tiejun a little strangely: "You also know martial artists?" ”
Ge Tiejun nodded: "Well, the army also has a lot of good players who are proficient in martial arts, it is said that a jungle special forces in our army is composed of all martial artists, and any person can easily defeat five or six soldiers like me, but they rarely show up in ordinary times, they are very mysterious, and they have only seen it once in the military region fighting competition." ”
He paused for a moment and smiled: "Actually, we also practice hard qigong, as well as the fighting skills in the army, which can fight much more than ordinary people, but compared to real martial artists, it is much worse." No wonder you can follow us with such a big bag."
"Strange, the instructor said that you martial artists have obvious characteristics in martial arts, let us observe carefully, once we encounter the enemies of martial artists, we must be extra careful, we can't give them close quarters, and directly attack them with firearms, how can you not see it at all."
Ge Tiejun looked at Wang Pengyu by the firelight for a while.
I don't know how many people have asked Wang Pengyu this question, and Wang Pengyu didn't want to explain, so he smiled: "Maybe I'm more special." ”
Ge Tiejun stopped talking, pressed the handle of the submachine gun on his chest with one hand, found a high point with a wide field of vision, and kept scanning around vigilantly, lest any enemies or jungle beasts suddenly appear.
The black tiger came back soon, the belly bulging I don't know what animal was unlucky, see the hair at the corner of its mouth was wet, washed the blood stains on it, or from the direction of the cannibal ditch, this dry mountain has no water source, you can imagine where the black tiger is drinking.
Ge Tiejun looked at the wind from a tree more than two meters high, and saw the moist corners of the black tiger's mouth with sharp eyes, and couldn't help but say: "This big dog is really lucky, I'm afraid that he is drinking water in the cannibal ditch, but fortunately he didn't meet the giant crocodile in the ditch, it is said that there are hundreds of giant crocodiles."
Wang Pengyu couldn't help but be a little funny, it was not the luck of the black tiger that he didn't meet the giant crocodile, but the luck of those giant crocodiles, maybe the crocodile meat in the black tiger's belly is now. This guy eats dozens of pounds of meat at a meal, and it is also high-calorie meat such as beef and chicken, and it is not interested in smaller prey, and it is really very possible to find a crocodile to fill its stomach.
In the middle of the night, another young and shy soldier kept vigil.
This is less than 100 miles away from Xishuangbanna, it definitely belongs to China's territory, even if those drug lords are bold, there is no need and they will not be close to the Chinese border, after all, China's soldiers are much stronger than those rogue armies in Burma, Thailand and Laos, and they cannot be compared at all, especially China is extremely resolute about the territorial issue, these drug dealers dare to come, and they will definitely be hit by the thunder of the Chinese army.
Ordinary beasts are afraid of fire, and with the terrifying beast of the black tiger beside them, the beast's sense is much more sensitive than that of humans, so they naturally dare not come closer, so nothing happened all night.
At five o'clock the next day, Wei Lin and the others almost turned the alarm clock, woke up at the same time, quickly poured some water from the kettle to clean their faces, and picked a few pieces of leaves with silver fluff on the surface, a little similar to mint leaves, and put them in their mouths to chew for a while, which can be regarded as cleaning the teeth and mouth.
Wei Lin also grabbed a handful and handed it to Wang Pengyu, and said with a smile: "This is called silver mint leaves, which is also a kind of mint, only this jungle within a radius of hundreds of miles grows, put it in the mouth and chew it for a while, it is better than any toothpaste, and the smell can also dispel mosquitoes, boost spirits, and the juice can be used to disinfect and stop bleeding, which can be regarded as a treasure in the jungle." ”
Wang Pengyu took it and bit it for a while, and sure enough, he felt that his mouth was full of coolness, and his spirit was lifted, and after drinking saliva and rinsing his mouth, the whole person was refreshed.
There are indeed many unknown things in the deep mountains and jungles, Wang Pengyu, the holy hand of traditional Chinese medicine who has inherited the inheritance of black peach core medicine, has never heard the name of this silver mint, in terms of the effectiveness of the leaves, this is definitely a good medicinal material.
After tidying up their personal hygiene a little, several soldiers quickly packed up their tents and other things, collected the discarded things into cans, etc., dug a pit and buried them.
This is a good habit, especially in these chaotic places, if you leave a trace, it may attract bandits in the mountains, or different [***] teams. Here, there is no difference between shooting civilians and robbing soldiers, the only difference is that it is worth doing it, and if you find a place to throw it away, you basically can't find out who did it.
The chaos and complexity of the Golden Triangle is famous for the whole world, there are dozens of drug lord warlord groups alone, plus some gangs that have committed crimes outside and ventured into here to avoid pursuit, etc., basically there are dozens of bloody killings every day, even Malacca Somalia is far from being compared to here.
Everyone walked cautiously to a nearby mountain beam, and down was a huge ravine, where the green river was flowing slowly, and the green grass on both sides seemed to be quiet, but the deep white bones that appeared in the grass from time to time told people that this place was by no means as calm as it seemed.
Xia Jie pointed to this huge ravine that didn't know how long and deep it was and said to Wang Pengyu: "This is the cannibal ditch, don't look at the gentle level of the river, but in the rainy season, there is a turbulent torrent here, if a person falls, it will definitely be ten deaths." There are a lot of ferocious crocodiles and pythons here, and we will have to pass from below, but these fierce creatures rarely come out during the day, so there is no danger. ”
Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, and he said in surprise: "What's the matter, Boss Zhao, is that the corpse of a crocodile?" ”
Zhao Dongyan squinted his eyes for a while before nodding and saying, "Not bad." ”
He said in a rare tone of surprise: "Although the corpse of this crocodile has been eaten by other beasts and crocodiles, judging from the skeleton and body size, I am afraid that it is ten meters long and weighs two tons, how can such a huge crocodile be hunted by other animals?" Odd! ”
Wei Lin also gasped: "This unknown kind of giant crocodile, the scale armor on its back is even tougher than body armor, and it was easily torn by the guy who hunted it The scale armor on its back devoured the flesh and blood inside?" Be careful, everyone! Hell, how could there be something terrible here that could hunt a ten-meter-long giant crocodile! Even the Burmese python will not take it as its prey! ”
Wang Pengyu's eyes were much sharper than theirs, although he was separated by more than two hundred meters, he could clearly see that the head of the crocodile corpse seemed to have been smashed by a huge five-point hammer, and under the cracked epidermis, he could see that it was broken into pieces of bones, and the extremely tough back left scratches one after another, although the flesh and blood inside had been eaten by many crocodiles, leaving only indigestible things such as bones and tough epidermal scales, Wang Pengyu could still see who did it.
He couldn't help but glance at the black tiger, only to see this guy looking at himself with his mouth open, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it turned out that this guy really found a giant crocodile for dinner last night.
He could even restore the situation where the black tiger hunted the giant crocodile.
A giant crocodile suddenly flew out of the water, and rushed towards the fat prey of the black tiger at a very fast speed, the black tiger just jumped slightly, and the front paws of the giant crocodile slapped the brain, and the prey became a predator, smashing the skull of the behemoth, shattering its brain, and then the claws popped out, easily breaking the thick skin on the back of the giant crocodile, cutting off its spine, and directly on the thick back of the flesh began to devour the flesh of the giant crocodile.
Waiting for the black tiger to eat a full meal and leave, the bloody smell of the giant crocodile naturally attracted the crocodile in the river, these fierce guys will not say anything about the same kind can not kill each other, the adult crocodile even directly kills the young crocodile belly, not to mention that two or three tons of fresh meat is in front of you, immediately enjoy the ready-made meal, leaving everyone with such a wolf look.
Seeing that Zhao Dongyan and the others all looked serious, holding submachine guns and carefully inspecting the nearby situation, Wang Pengyu wanted to tell them that this was the masterpiece of the Black Tiger, but he didn't know how to explain that the Black Tiger could hunt such a terrifying giant crocodile, so he couldn't help but say nothing.
Because of the corpse of this giant crocodile, everyone was going to fly over a stone beam in front of them, but they walked a few more miles carefully, until the next stone beam appeared, and everyone carefully went down the cannibal ditch along the mountain wall, and carefully got on the stone beam across the river.
Wang Pengyu couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart when he saw them so cautious, even these experienced elite soldiers were so cautious, he really didn't know how the previous archaeological team entered this vast jungle and how they found that strange ancient tomb among the mountains and mountains.
Sometimes luck really matters.
Just past the stone beam, to the opposite side of the cannibal ditch, the jungle here is obviously denser than the other side, full of hugging trees, thick fallen leaves to step on, often black water gushing out, and the dry environment on the opposite side is completely different.
Even Ge Tiejun, who was usually the most cheerful, had a solemn face, and looked around cautiously as he walked.
Zhao Dongyan, the most experienced veteran among the people, led the way in front, holding a mountain knife in one hand to split the vine branches that blocked the way, and holding a long wooden stick in the other, poking hard into the ground, so as not to suddenly encounter some silt swamp traps.
Although they have sprayed mosquito repellent and insect repellent sprays in the mountains, those huge mosquitoes still continue to fly around them, and there are a lot of black and greasy leeches hanging on the damp leaves, which fall on everyone from time to time, and they need to constantly clean up the leeches on their bodies.
Under the damp and fluffy fallen leaves, you can often see centipedes with thick fingers, twenty or thirty centimeters long, or super scorpions the size of half a palm, Wang Pengyu almost couldn't help but catch some and keep them for later use, these are all good medicinal materials, much better than those sold in Chinese medicine shops.
For Zhao Dongyan, these are fatal things, and if they are stung by them, there is a fatal danger.
Wang Pengyu walked in the middle of the team, and at this time, the benefits of the miasma avoidance bead magic weapon appeared, not only did the moisture miasma not invade, but even the mosquitoes did not dare to approach him, but the symbol of the surname was holding a military miasma avoidance pill handed to him by Zhao Dongyan, watching everyone walking in this jungle and wetland with difficulty, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Wei, is there no other better way?" ”
Wei Lin was about to speak, when he suddenly threw away the dagger in his hand, cut a small brown snake hidden in the dead leaves in half, and then picked up the dagger, and exhaled before saying: "It's so dangerous, it turned out to be a black leaf tooth snake, this guy is extremely ferocious, if he is bitten, he will be crippled if he doesn't die!" ”
He carefully wiped the dagger stained with blood and muddy water with leaves, and did not look at Wang Pengyu, carefully inspected the surrounding situation, and said in a deep voice: "There are no roads in the jungle, but there are some high-lying mountain roads to walk, which are much safer than wetland swamps, but Governor Huang said that you have to go to Mushroom Ridge as soon as possible, and you have to take many detours from those highlands, and you can't reach them within three days." ”
Xia Jie smiled bitterly and said: "The most terrifying thing here is not the poisonous snake and centipede scorpion, but the Burmese python hidden in the silt. This thing can even grow to twenty meters long, the thickest part is the size of a bucket, much larger than any giant python rumored outside, can eat several people at a meal, and is the most terrible killer in the jungle. There was once a low-flying helicopter that was shot up by this giant python and crashed, if we encounter this thing, we can only look at luck to see who can escape. ”
His voice did not fall, and Zhao Dongyan, who took the lead, suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Stop!" ”
Xia Jie's face changed, and he thought that his crow's mouth had really met a Burmese python. Zhao Dongyan took a closer look at a big tree in front of him, frowned and said, "Not long ago, someone passed by here, and there was a shootout, which injured someone. ”
Wei Lin took a few steps forward, took a closer look at the bullet marks and blood stains left by several big trees nearby, nodded and said: "It seems that it is the people of the Tai [***] team, and there are many types of firearms on the other side, and the number of people is definitely more than ten." ”
He thought for a moment, saw the footprints left in front of him, etc., and couldn't help frowning and said, "Damn, they went in the same direction as we went." There are quite a few of them, and in the event of a conflict, I am afraid that we will suffer. Lao Zhao, do you know any other way to get to Mushroom Ridge quickly? ”
Zhao Dongyan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No." This is the easiest way to walk, and the nearby swamps are full of traps, and it is easy to encounter Burmese pythons, and if you turn back and find another way, it will take an extra day to event. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wang Pengyu and asked, "How long will it take for you to get to Mushroom Ridge at the latest?" ”
Huang Zheyi can only buy Wang Pengyu another three days, now more than a day has passed, even if he arrives at Mushroom Ridge, he still has to contact the soldier guarding the ancient tomb, according to Huang Zheyi, it will take a while to get there, and it is definitely not possible to go back and find the path.
And Wang Pengyu doesn't know if there will be an accident if it drags on, in case those Thai [***] people find the ancient tomb, maybe there will be twists and turns, if some of them are proficient in the head-lowering technique, the strength of the head-lowering division in Thailand is not weak, and the corpse poison of the ancient tomb is afraid that it will not be able to stop them.
His eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "You can't turn back, keep walking, if you meet those Tai [***] people or some bandits, I will be responsible for pacifying them." ”
