Chapter 182: Heaven and Earth
After two hours, the sky seemed to be a little better, turning from pitch black to black and hazy, and the little raft carried eight people with an uncertain future, like a fallen leaf, whirling in the ocean. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Su Ming, who was sharp-eyed, suddenly shouted, pointed to the southeast and said, "Jungle!" It's a big jungle! ”
Everyone looked in the direction of Su Ming's finger, and sure enough, the canopy of the trees gradually rose above the water, no longer a deserted island dotted on the ocean, but a group of dense forests, that is, that land was higher than the surrounding jungle. The eight of them suddenly became energetic, paddling together, and rowed towards the dense forest, the sky had become gray, although the rain had not abated, it was always developing in a good direction.
Entering the waterway of the dense forest, this jungle is indeed much higher than other places, but it is not high enough, there are countless rivers that divide the jungle, and raindrops the size of beans fall from the sky, and the amount of water in the river is increasing every moment. Sean found a long tree pole and easily reached the riverbed, and the small raft of six people relied on the wooden pole to support it, and struggled against the current, hoping to find a higher ground in the depths of the dense forest.
After paddling deep into the dense forest for a long time, it seemed that the terrain had not changed much, and Sean said: "It's still too low, when the second wave of the flood peak comes, this place will definitely be flooded." ”
Yue Yang said: "But this woodland is very large, at least we can find a way to find the beasts trapped in the forest." ”
Gao Shan Invincible said: "Moreover, this woodland has been walking towards the east, and it seems that there is no end in sight, maybe there is a bigger and higher jungle high ground over there. As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of fire flashed in his direction.
"Damn, it's thunderstorm again! Get out of the boat and hide. Gao Zhen gritted his teeth and said. For the past three days, the thunderstorm zone has been wandering above the jungle, west to east, and east to west, cruising back and forth, like a messenger of hell in purgatory, responsible for clearing out all living and moving life. And the volume of this messenger needs to be calculated in kilometers, terrible devil!
The eight of them got off the boat, only looking for a relatively open place, removing anything on their bodies that might cause thunder and lightning, and lurking.
The thunderstorm approached, and the black monster formed a pitch-black vortex, the center of which was a riot of colors, but also a deadly danger. "Pop" dozens of tentacles stretched out at the same time, as if weaving a huge power grid in the air, and the blue light outlined a terrifying grimace.
With a "snap", a twenty-meter-high giant tree fell down in front of Su Ming, and a huge ball lightning with a diameter of nearly five meters swept across Su Ming's head, and Su Ming's hair was instantly ablaze. Gao Zhen was about to get up, but was dragged by Tianxiong and scolded: "What are you going to do? ”
Gao Zhen said: "Pull him back!" He's going to be struck by lightning! ”
Tianxiong said: "It's too late! Don't you see what's behind that lightning? ”
Tianxiong looked again, and sure enough, the ball lightning was followed by a black band, as if the pitch-black cloud above his head had been pulled down a small wisp, and the black belt had already covered Billy underneath. Tianxiong almost prayerfully recited: "That's black lightning, where is there salvation." "When they had spent four thunderstorms with Takayama Invincible before, they had already heard that among the many forms of lightning, the most dangerous and terrifying was the black lightning called the breath of death. This lightning does not emit light and is produced by molecular aerogel aggregates, which are heat-generating charged substances that can easily explode or transform into ball-shaped lightning, which is extremely dangerous. It looks like a cloud of fog or mud, is small in size, and can avoid radar reconnaissance, and pilots usually call it a "dark mine in the air", just like a grenade, it will explode at the slightest touch.
In the blink of an eye, a black mist-like object enveloped Su Ming, Su Ming didn't make any sound, suddenly his whole body lit up, and his body turned into a ball of lightning, and the strange power even took him off the ground. No one spoke up anymore, everyone knew that Su Ming had already ascended to heaven.
When Su Ming fell, it was like a charred wooden stake, and when the rain washed over his body again, wisps of green smoke came out, and there were bursts of "silk" sounds. The seven of them stopped looking at him, and Wulan and Jin Yilin were frightened, and their bodies had begun to twitch spasmodically.
Half an hour later, the thunderstorm was gone away again, and the seven people who survived again stood up, and Gao Shan Invincible and Gao Zhen supported Ulan and Jin Yilin respectively, ready to visit the depths of the jungle. When they passed in front of Su Ming's corpse, what they saw was a charred and black corpse, the flesh was attached to the bones, baked like a mummy, and countless people couldn't tell whether it was blood or something else, in short, a red and white jelly-like substance, which seemed to be slowly squeezed out of the body little by little like squeezing toothpaste. They couldn't say whether the man was dead or not, but no one wanted to give a second glance at the disgusting black, stinking thing. Shi Qing endured the stench and stuck a rotten wood in front of the deceased, which was regarded as a kind of comfort for the deceased.
The two of them helped Wulan and Jin Yilin to the raft with great difficulty, because everyone had escaped death for several days in a row, and they were already physically and mentally exhausted.
Several of them were silent, yes, and now whatever they said, they were in fact shouting hoarsely, and they knew that they could not hear, and that their hearing had been severely damaged by the terrible thunder and the great rain that had not ceased to go; And their heads, hands, and insteps are numb, and even if they cut them with a knife, they don't feel pain, and when their bodies are washed away by the rain, it seems that after only two hours, they have become like this, and they have not improved, because the rain has been falling.
The rain in the sky is like a sifting of beans, and the leaks are endless, and this time, even the invincible mountains can't say that it is like a pipa solo, and the sound is round and jade, and the rain seems to be a curse, damning all those who enter the jungle, and those who disturb the peace of the dead will never be at peace. Everyone feels that if they continue to drench like this, they will be washed off a layer of skin, and no matter what the cost, as long as they can exchange it for a tool that can protect them from the rain, they will not hesitate to exchange it.
Hope, the only driving force that can support people to survive in this environment, is hope. Therefore, when Zhang Li pointed to the gradually whitening sky, he said in a crying tone: "The sky is bright!" The sky is lit up! We're almost out of this haunted rainforest. At this time, almost everyone on the raft was so excited that they wanted to cry, but they didn't cry after all, because, they saw, the corpse!
The charred corpse, leather wrapped in bones, like a mummy, curled up on the ground, arms stretched forward like a frog, legs kicked back, even the rotten wood that Shi Qing inserted stood next to the corpse intact, like a villain full of ridicule.
After a big turn, they were still in place, and they didn't take a step forward at all. Some dark green moss-like plants began to grow on the corpse, and the fast-growing carrion white mushrooms also emerged from the charred black shell with semicircular umbrella covers, which were soon crushed into a puddle of carrion by the rain. There was an indescribable smell in the air, much like rust mixed with rotten squid, and several people once again pulled their clothes to cover their mouths and noses, and there was nothing left of their bodies.
Ling Feng looked at the sky, the eastern sky was indeed white and shiny, and behind him was still dense with thick clouds, black clouds pressed on the top, and from time to time a sad red flashed in the black clouds, which made people shudder. He muttered to himself, "How did you come around and walk back?" ”
Takayama Invincible said: "There are too many waterways, and the current is impacting us and changing direction. ”
Ling Feng asked, "What about the compass?" Which of you still has a compass? ”
Gao Zhen muttered: "Who still uses that thing, it has already been thrown away." When they found that the compass was pointing in the wrong direction, they threw it away.
Tianxiong said: "It's useless, now the compass will only point the direction to the area of the thunderstorm, let's go along the river, take the raft together, so that we can hold on to the second flood peak." ”
So, the seven of them worked as slender men along the muddy river. After nearly 70 hours of heavy rain, their skin was soaked as soft as tofu, and with a little force, the rope was deeply embedded in the flesh, but they were numb and unconscious.
One foot deep and one foot shallow forward mechanical step, seven gray people like seven mushroom sticks that are about to be blistered, the body is exhausted to the extreme, so more than ten miles east, there is a sound in the forest. What appeared in front of the eyes of the seven people was a phantom black tiger with pure black fur, and the pair of golden eyes looked at the seven people who were standing. The seven of them all stood still, already numb and almost unconscious, and the black tiger kept a distance from the seven of them, inspecting them one by one as if they were acquaintances.
Jin Yilin said weakly: "It seems that she has broken through the many obstacles of the family and the huge gap between the populations, and finally followed her lover." The power of love is really great, Shi Qing, don't you say? ”
Shi Qing was stunned and said, "What did you say?" I don't understand. ”
Gao Zhen immediately added: "He said, this female leopard, people are going to elope with you." ”
Shi Qing said angrily: "Nonsense! ”
Ling Feng said: "Shi Qing, don't be angry, save your strength to hurry, otherwise, let this black tiger eat it." ”
Gao Shan Invincible said: "It doesn't dare to do it, there are seven of us, and it knows that it can't please it." ”
During the conversation, the black tiger had already turned around and left, running in the opposite direction of the seven. resemble
Takayama Invincible said: "How is it?" I'm not wrong. ”
Gao Zhen said: "How do you know that it is not a rescuer?" ”
Ling Feng slowly shook his head tiredly and said, "Forget it, let's move on." Hey? Before he finished speaking, there was a "whew", and another money leopard jumped out, followed by several opossums.
Tianxiong said: "How can there be a leopard in this America? ”
Gao Shan Invincible said angrily: "It's a tiger cat, not a leopard." Strange, it's the natural enemy of the opossum, how can it be chased by a few little mice? ”
The rope tied to the raft swung for a while, and several giant otters with a body size of more than 1.8 meters appeared in the water, and only they could walk on such a rainy day. Then several more drenched animals ran out of the forest, some of whom could not even name the invincible mountains, and they all ran in the direction where the four people came.
Ling Feng muttered, "Isn't it? We haven't seen an animal for two or three days, huh? Why did so many guys run out all of a sudden? ”
As he was talking, a group of wild boars, at least twenty or thirty, ran over, and the rain fell wildly on the trees overhead, and a large group of black howler monkeys, hanging monkeys, and broad-nosed monkeys ...... And so on, jumping up the trees and heading towards the back.
Gao Shan Invincible also shook his head violently like Ling Feng, and said strongly: "Who can go up to the tree to see, it doesn't seem to be right." ”
Gao Zhen moved his hands and feet, and under the heavy rain, he said while climbing: "With such a heavy rain, I can't see anything when I go up the tree." When he was halfway up, he opened his eyes wide, climbed a few more steps, and cried out: "Flood! The flood is coming again! Right in front of us! ”
Tianxiong said: "Nonsense, the flood is behind us, how could it come from the front?" He also began to climb trees, and in the process of running away countless animals. After climbing the tree, the sight was raised, and Tenxiong let out a woman-like scream: "Oh my God! Withdraw! What a flood, that's robbing ants! American robbers! The largest predator army in the Americas! ”
Tianxiong had already climbed up, and as far as the eye could see, a spectacular and poignant scene appeared in front of him. The dense red color really looked exactly like the flood from a distance, and when I looked at it, it was an army of robbers of incalculable length and about five kilometers wide, and the terrible number was impossible to calculate. Where the ant colony passed, there was really no grass, so to speak, they gnawed off even a layer of the ground, the birds chirped in horror and flew high, and finally they were drenched in the rain like an airplane without oil; The spider monkey and the jaguar fled at the same time, and the opossum and the tiger cat fought to jump to the other side of the river; The huge trees also fell, but they were completely different from being swept down by the flood and lightning, they were like high-rise buildings that had been blasted by a directional blast, starting from the roots, and so quietly sinking into the red army.
Ling Feng pulled the raft under and asked, "What?" What is it? ”
Said hurriedly: "Get on the boat, get on the boat." ”
The robber ants of the Americas and the golden ants of Africa are also collective predators, and they have a common name, called, called, called man-eating ants. It's just that the man-eating ants in the Americas are not as large as those in Africa, but the number is not many times that of African golden ants. They, they eat everything, and where they go, there is really nothing left but the desert. According to the ancient tribes, encountering them is a curse on you by the devil, and it is the dark conscience of your previous generations......
When the seven of them boarded the raft in disarray, under the iron hooves of the Ant Raiders, all the creatures had to flee for their lives.
