Chapter 147: Strange Discovery
Seeing that the second elder cooperated with him so much, Zhao Wou-Ki cast a grateful look, and the others saw that the second elder had spoken, so they naturally lost their temper, and of course a few people on Zao Wou-ki's side thought that Zao Wou-Ki obeyed his orders, for Cheng Gang and Yuan Guoping, it would be good to be able to sleep in the jungle, and it didn't matter if there was a tent or not.
Although the Yang sisters are unwilling, they have no choice, although their physical strength is not good, they can't let others help carry it, right? It's impossible for two experts, and two assistants have to take care of two old experts, so they can't spare their hands at all, not to mention that they still have something.
Cheng Gang and Yuan Guoping can't do it, they all have to rely on the two of them to open the way along the way, it is manual work, and it will be even more tiring to carry something, as for Zao Wouji, the two sisters and the wise ones have no hope, give it up, and it's not that they don't have the experience of living with others.
After abandoning the tent with difficulty, I heard Zao Wou-Ki say: "Thank you for your understanding, in addition, I suggest that those canned food or something should also be discarded, in addition to compressing nutrients, other things that can be discarded as much as possible, what we need is to travel lightly, the road behind is still very long, we must save physical strength and maintain the best condition." β
After each of them packed their bags, each person's burden was reduced to about ten kilograms, and the resources were redistributed, and then the bags were packed, some people carried tents, some people were fed, and some people carried weapons, so that it was much easier, as for the two experts, they only needed to be responsible for two suitcases containing specimens.
Everyone continued to walk along the river in a straight line, stopping from time to time to wait for Wang Yifu to collect specimens, those things others couldn't understand, and after asking a few times, all they heard were boring scientific names, so they didn't bother to ask again.
Zao Wou-Ki replaced Yuan Guoping, opening the road in front, wielding the mountain knife like a scalpel, from time to time chopping through the thorns, vines and the like on the side of the road, cutting a few vines when he was thirsty, sucking the water in the vines, and reminding others from time to time not to touch or step on what on the ground.
After walking for a while, Lan Yun suddenly shouted in surprise, "Mentor, Sun Grass, it's Sun Grass." As he spoke, he ran forward excitedly.
"Looking for death?" Zhao Wuji suddenly pulled Lan Yun over, and threw it to Lin Yu behind him, looking at the front with a heavy face, motionless.
Lan Yun's hand hurt, and she just wanted to reproach angrily, but when she saw that something was wrong with Zao Wou-ki, she looked forward with Zao Wou-ki's eyes, and saw a branch of a giant tree not far in front of her, the thick branch of the arm moved slowly, and the uneven dead bark was also a piece of water chestnut horns, especially the dark gray, and the white-gray stripes became more and more obvious.
The head of the branch was triangular, spitting out letters, and a pair of formidable snake eyes were staring at Zao Wou-Ki with bad intentions, and when Lan Yun realized that this was the spearhead pit pit of one of the ten most poisonous substances in the South American jungle, she was so nervous that she almost fell off the salute in her hand.
"It's a spearhead, highly poisonous, everyone be careful, don't mess around, don't talk." The field in the line whispered a warning.
As soon as the words fell, everyone saw that this spearhead suddenly flew towards Zao Wou-ki, and on the lightning side, the scarlet letter hissed, with a fishy smell, which was terrifying.
"Ahh Everyone screamed in horror, panicked for some reason, several girls closed their eyes in horror, women are naturally afraid of snakes, and when they see poisonous snakes face to face, they are naturally afraid.
"Smack!" There was a slight thud, and something fell to the ground.
Everyone took a look, and saw that the belly of the arm-thick spearhead had been cut in two, the triangular tongue was still hissing and spitting letters, and the tail was coiled up and rolling on the ground.
Phewββ! Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Zao Wou-ki's eyes with a trace of admiration, when Zao Wou-Ki fought the giant python, everyone only saw Zao Wou-Ki holding the giant python into the water, and then saw Zao Wou-Ki kick the giant python to Lin Yu, and then, the two of them disappeared into the jungle, they didn't know how the two killed the giant python, and they didn't feel much.
After using a stick to pick open the belly of the spearhead a little, Zao Wou-Ki asked Cheng Gang to bury it with soil quickly, once the smell of blood spreads, it will attract more fierce beasts to come, and then it will be troublesome.
Taking advantage of this temporary break, Lan Yun walked up and said to Zao Wou-Ki sincerely, "Thank you for saving my life." Lan Yun is not a fool, and she knows very well in her heart that if it weren't for Zao Wou-ki, she would have to pay the price of her life for the recklessness just now.
"You're welcome, everyone is a team, we should help each other, be careful next time, in the primeval forest, only calm can survive," Zao Wou-Ki nodded indifferently.
This time, Lan Yun was not unconvinced, glanced at Zao Wou-Ki gratefully, and retreated to the back, Bai Qi came over to ask a few words of concern, and told Lan Yun to be careful in everything and not to be impulsive.
The small episode quickly calmed down, Zao Wou-Ki looked up and looked ahead, the jungle was unfathomable, towering giant trees abounded, the spruce trees in the Americas could be as high as 100 meters, more than 10 meters in diameter, and more than 20 meters in circumference, it took seventeen or eighteen adult men to hug them, and they were the same thickness up and down, they were veritable giants in the trees, and they began to worry in their hearts, but they didn't show half a point, so as not to cause others to worry.
Everyone continues to move forward, after experiencing this spearhead incident, everyone is more careful, more disciplined, it looks a bit of a team, who has something to say, everyone immediately stopped and waited, and then continued to move forward after the matter was dealt with, with a lot of tacit understanding.
The noon of the Amazon River is the most sultry, the air emits the stench of rotting leaves mixed with the fishy smell of corpses, it is really unpleasant, the air pressure is even lower, and the people who are under pressure are not able to breathe smoothly, fortunately, the hot sun is blocked by the giant trees that are more than ten meters high, otherwise they must be killed by the heat.
Two days later, in the Amazon jungle, Zao Wou-Ki looked at the sky worriedly, there was no cloud, there was no wind, everyone was sweating hot, their faces were full of sweat and oil, and they were no longer as beautiful as they used to be.
Everyone cheered and breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately divided the labor, the two old experts were responsible for setting up tents, and the women were responsible for lighting fires, cleaning up things, cutting down the surrounding bushes, and making room for activities, Cheng Gang and Yuan Guoping teamed up to find food, and Zao Wou-Ki climbed a tree to let off the wind and protect everyone's safety.
From time to time, all kinds of unknown birds and beasts can be heard in the jungle, but as far as the eye can see, there is nothing to see except for the dense forests that cover the sky and the sun. Surrounded by giant trees on both sides of the river, the river is slightly narrower, and occasionally a macaw or two skimmes pass overhead, their colorful feathers shining in the sun.
After a while, the hunting came back, brought a hundred pounds of wild boar, enough for everyone to eat, considering that you can't always eat barbecue, which iron pot is still kept, barbecue part, and then stew part, although the Amazon River is very dangerous, very hard, but the food is so good, can finally talk to masturbate.
After eating, everyone goes into the tent to rest for a while, recuperating in the jungle is the king of survival, an hour, everyone wakes up, there are animal chirping sounds everywhere, it is difficult to fall asleep, isn't it? Everyone walks around at will, carefully moves their arms, moves their legs, and warms up before the hair.
"Bah! What a beautiful flower. Zhao Wou-Ki followed the voice, and sure enough, in an open area by the river, a delicate flower, the petals were like spring snow jade, the tea cup wrapped the beige stamens, and the slender thatch-like leaves spread out like sun rings, at first glance, it looked like a petite princess hiding her snow-like face in the thick neck of a fox.
Everyone also saw it and walked up curiously, especially the floral fragrance, refreshing and refreshing, similar to the fragrance of orchids, which makes people intoxicated by the natural fragrance.
The active Yang Xu walked forward, intending to pick it, but Wang Yifu, who arrived behind him, shouted in surprise: "Don't move, it's a man-eating flower." β
Ahh Everyone had done a lot of homework before coming, and they were no strangers to the word man-eating flower, and they all stepped back in panic when they knew what it meant, looking at the delicate man-eating flower, and they really couldn't connect it with the rumors about the man-eating flower.
Zao Wou-Ki looked over and saw that the flower was very proud, the flower was like a sun ring, with an attractive fragrance like an orchid, and the diameter could reach 1. 5 meters, petals about 1 thick. 4 centimeters, a flower with 5 petals, and leaves 30 or 40 centimeters long, isn't that exactly what characterizes cannibal flowers?
This is the first time Zao Wou-Ki has seen this, and he is very curious, and he can't understand how it eats people, so he asked: "Elder Wang, tell everyone, it looks very beautiful, why is it called such a name?" β
"Man-eating flower is a mysterious plant, with certain animal-like habits, at least it takes to devour and eat ten fresh lives to bloom a flower," Wang Yifu is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a plant expert, of course, knows a lot, and continued: "I saw the one-meter-long claw-like leaves, that is its weapon, and the most powerful thing is the man-eating spider hidden behind the flower, that is the deadly culprit, also known as the black widow, is a highly poisonous spider, everyone must not touch it." β
Everyone looked at the cannibal flower in horror, it was still so charming and delicate just now, but in the blink of an eye, it became synonymous with death, and there was no interest at all.
"Huh? Bai Qi, bring my glasses. Wang Yifu suddenly said in surprise.
Putting on his glasses, Wang Yifu stared at the man-eating flower tightly, his face was full of incredible expressions, and he muttered for a long time: "It's it, it's it, I didn't expect it to exist in the legend." β
"Elder Wang, what is it?" Zhao Wuji looked at the gaffe Wang Yifu curiously and asked.
