"Grand Duke, we're back!" At the sight of Marin, 21 "African refugees" fell to their knees and wept bitterly.

Marin quickly had them help them up, and asked them to bring stools for them to sit down and drink before talking. After drinking milk tea, a group of people calmed down their excitement, and then began to tell Marin about their tragic experience in the Amazon jungle in recent years.

They entered the Amazon jungle from the mouth of the Amazon River a few years ago, initially in two medium-sized river vessels heading inland. At that time, they were all living on ships, and although the conditions were difficult, there was no danger. It's just that because a few people are not accustomed to the soil and water, they fell ill directly.

It's just that at the beginning, Marin selected 100 young adults with good physical fitness. Therefore, not too many people on the expedition fell ill because of the lack of adaptation. Of the first few people who fell ill, only one died of illness.

But a few months later, the two wooden boats were damaged and could not be repaired. At this point, the expedition really entered a period of terror......

After the ship was damaged, the expedition was forced to land and camp. However, on the first day, seven members were brought down by poisonous insects, mosquitoes and snakes in the Amazon jungle. Among them, 5 members who were bitten by poisonous insects and mosquitoes all began to fall ill. The members who were bitten by the poisonous snake were even worse and died directly on the spot. One of the two deceased was John, the first expedition leader.

In desperation, the expedition team elected Heinrich as the second expedition leader and continued to lead the expedition. In the days that followed, Heinrich was more cautious, and when camping, he chose to camp in the dry highlands, and at night he lit several fires around the camp to keep snakes and insects away. At the same time, the sulfur powder that had been brought with them was sprinkled at the entrance of the tent to ward off poisonous snakes.

Under the cautious command of Captain Heinrich, there was no danger of camping at night. However, the next expedition is really dangerous......

Unfamiliar with the local environment, the expedition team headed west along the Amazon River to avoid getting lost. However, the gang grossly underestimated the danger of the Amazon basin......

On one occasion, one of the expedition's homemade rafts capsized on the Amazon River, and several members of the expedition fell into the water. Unexpectedly, it directly attracted a large group of piranhas.

One of the four expedition members who fell into the water was quickly gnawed by a large group of piranhas and was reduced to only white bones. And the other person was also gnawed off the flesh of one of his legs...... The other two were lucky, and the fish seemed to prefer to concentrate on one or two of them, and they escaped being pulled on other rafts by their teammates.

Although the team member who had had one leg gnawed off was also rescued, the team member died that night due to excessive blood loss......

Fear suddenly gripped the expedition, and Captain Heinrich had to take as many overland routes as his team could, along the Amazon River inland.

But, soon they were greeted by the most terrifying creature of the river – the Amazon crocodile!

The members of the expedition were all from Europe, and they had never seen a crocodile and did not know what it was like. Moreover, they don't watch "Animal World" as much as later generations. So, they have no idea about the danger of crocodiles. Although Marin also reminded them, these people are not smart people with good memories (smart Marin is reluctant to let them die), so they forget about this stubble.

The dangerous Amazonian crocodile does not actively attack the expedition troops, but they will lurk silently by the river, motionless. If you don't pay attention, you think there is rotting wood floating on the surface of the river......

However, when one of the expedition members breaks away from the crowd and runs to the river to fetch water, the Amazon crocodile will suddenly burst out, open its bloody mouth, and bite the target......

On the first day, a young man who fetched water was dragged into the water and was never seen again. However, the members of the expedition did not know this, and did not see the crocodile pretending to be rotten wood and ambushing the unlucky man. So, the next day, another unlucky egg was dragged into the water by a crocodile......

It wasn't until the third day, when two members of the team went to fetch water together, and one of them saw a "piece of rotten wood" by the river suddenly "come to life" and bite his companion and drag him into the water, that everyone realized the horror of "rotten wood" by the Amazon River......

In desperation, Heinrich had no choice but to change the route of his march, ordering that he should avoid approaching the river as much as possible, but not too far from the river, so as not to be unable to discern the direction.

Then they encountered a new danger - the jaguar......

The victim was the second expedition leader, Heinrich, and he died a ...... It's weird......

It turned out that at noon one day, Captain Heinrich went to squat under a hidden tree outside the camp because of a stomachache. In the wild, there is no toilet, so I can only find a secluded place to solve it casually.

In Europe, there is nothing wrong with that. But this is the Amazon jungle......

It just so happened that just as Heinrich was squatting under the tree outside the camp, a jaguar happened to pass by......

The jaguar had planned to hunt a crocodile in the Amazon for lunch, after all, cats love fish. It's just that the jaguar is more awesome, and even the overlord crocodile in the water dares to hunt and kill, which can be described as a high-tech leopard. Of course, leopards are bold, otherwise there would be no saying that "eating the heart of a bear and a leopard's gall".

Just as the jaguar was about to go to the water's edge, he suddenly smelled a foul smell halfway through. Out of curiosity, the bold leopard quietly leaned over, and then, seeing the PP of Captain Heinrich's white flower, who was squatting on the tuba......

"It seems, it's very white and tender...... I don't know how it tastes...... "Then, the bold jaguar took advantage of Captain Heinrich's unpreparedness and pounced on it, biting off Captain Heinrich's neck......

Although the team members heard Captain Heinrich's screams and quickly chased him out with sticks and scared the jaguar away, the unfortunate Captain Heinrich was bitten off his neck and soon died.

Then, in the following days, none of the members of the expedition dared to leave the crowd alone to go to the tuba. Because, that would probably be fatal......

Next, the crowd elected a new expedition leader, Koror. Koror and the group continued on their way, looking for the rubber tree and the thorny fruit that Marin had commanded, the pineapple......

As a result, the crowd quickly found a lot of rubber trees and collected a lot of rubber tree seeds. However, the pineapple was never found. As a result, they had to continue wandering the dangerous Amazon jungle.

……

A few months later, they encountered one of the greatest dangers of the expedition – the Amazon cannibals......

At first, Koror was unaware of the dangers of cannibalism. After seeing these natives, Koror also led everyone to greet the group of cannibals warmly. But they didn't know that those cannibals looked at them like a dish......

A group of more than 80 people walked into the cannibal village unsuspectingly, and then, that night, they were attacked and killed by the cannibals......

Fortunately, there are not many cannibal strong men, and they can't kill them all at once. After killing more than 30 people, more than 40 people escaped with their lives and hid in the jungle. And the cannibal tribe probably thought that the meat was enough, so they didn't chase them.

The remaining 40 or so wandered the jungle in fear for two or three years like lost dogs.

During this time, some of them were "eaten" by the Amazon man-eating tree, and some were strangled and devoured by the Amazonian man-eating tree...... In short, there are many dangers along the way......

Until they meet an indigenous tribe that is not cannibal......

At first, after seeing this indigenous tribe, the team members were very scared, thinking that they had encountered cannibals again. But these natives are not cannibals and are friendly. It took a lot of contact before the expedition team finally determined that this indigenous tribe did not eat people, and only then did they communicate with them.

With the help of the primitive way of communication of gesturing and gesturing, both parties became acquainted. The expedition team had members who were familiar with bow and arrow making to help the natives improve the bow and arrow making process, making the natives' earthen bows much more powerful, and also helped them glue feathers behind the arrows to enhance the stability and range of the arrows.

Then, the natives became enthusiastic about the expedition. With the help of this group of natives, the team finally found the legendary pineapple, and with the help of that friendly indigenous tribe, they learned how to cultivate pineapples from another tribe that knew how to cultivate pineapples......

Seeing that the mission was accomplished, the expedition bid farewell to the friendly indigenous tribe and headed east along the Amazon River, finally finding an outlet to the sea, and waiting for a ship that would come from Grenada in some time to investigate. But by the time they left the Amazon Basin, only 22 of the original 100 people remained. And on the way back by boat, another person fell ill and died halfway through. By the time they returned to the mainland of the North Sea Country, there were only 21 people left......
