Chapter 6 Crossing from the Understory
Driving away the wolves, Sun Hao put on his backpack and continued to walk in the direction of the mountain with a rifle in his hand, but the deeper he went, the more strange the plants around him became, and the roots of some trees were wrapped around another big tree like snakes, as if they had swallowed each other whole. Some trees are growing directly from the trunks of other trees, and the root system climbs all over the trunks of large trees, which is quite parasitic, and some plants have flowers that are split into two pieces, and the edges are all jagged, like the mouths of monsters.
The denser the forest, the cooler the temperature, and a stream rose in a thick mist, swirling strange trees, and nothing but the murmuring of the water.
Sun Hao felt that the breath coming out of his mouth also melted with the hazy mist, regardless of each other.
The steaming smoke sometimes resembles an ancient beast, sometimes it resembles a graceful beauty, sometimes it transforms a modern town, sometimes it resembles the vastness of the universe, and it is bizarre and dreamlike.
Don't be fooled by these appearances, the more beautiful things in the jungle are, the more terrifying, the more careful, don't be fooled by appearances, here looks beautiful on the surface, but in fact it kills step by step. Sun Hao kept reminding himself in his heart.
After walking a short distance, a small river was cut off in front of him, and Sun Hao first looked at the small river carefully.
The rivers in the deep forest are full of killers, anacondas, crocodiles, etc., and many animals can strangle themselves.
After looking at it, Sun Hao tied the trouser tube tightly with tree vines, and re-tied the laces of the high-top leather boots, so as to prevent the poisonous insects in the water from burrowing into the thighs.
Then, Sun Hao cautiously walked down the river, the river is waist-deep, under the sunshine, the sand at the bottom of the river is also countable, occasionally you can see the water hyacinth floating with the waves, and the water is lying quietly at the bottom of the river, like a beautiful girl's show, let the river mother gently comb.
The small fish are always in groups, swimming and swaying, swaying with the waves, as beautiful as water fairies.
After crossing the river and going ashore, the branches and leaves above his head swayed from time to time, and a black figure scurried over the treetops, the distance was too far, and the movements were fast, and the body shape could not be seen clearly, maybe it was a marmoset, or it could be a chimpanzee, there were animals everywhere, and Sun Hao also knew what it was? Sun Hao estimated that the source of this small river was on the mountain, so he walked up along the small river.
The sky was getting darker, the air was getting hotter and colder, and there was silence all around except for the chirping of insects. Hey!
Sun Hao took a breath of cool air, and not far from his front was all silver, gently wrapping a few ancient trees, and on the straight trunks of these giant trees, a creepy scene was being staged silently.
Spiders, all kinds of spiders, big as a palm, small as a wheat, the colors are also varied, black as charcoal steel, red as chicken blood, blue flashing with a dark demon, covering the whole tree with a furry coat, I want to pounce, but I seem to be afraid of something. Nearby, they were staring at two palm-sized spiders.
Man-eating spiders! This spider is the size of a man's palm, and the man-eating spider does not kill people by its size, but its venom is quite terrifying, as long as a human is bitten, it will definitely die in 20 minutes.
This spider Sun Hao had seen it in the Amazon jungle before, so he knew it.
The two man-eating spiders are being besieged by dozens of various spiders, but the man-eating spiders are too big, and a big size means great strength, Sun Hao saw that dozens of spiders besieged the two man-eating spiders without success, but were killed by the two man-eating spiders and retreated.
There are often this kind of games in the deep forest, Sun Hao doesn't want to bother with anything, people who are familiar with the rules of survival in the jungle know very well, unless the last resort, try not to kill, otherwise they will be chased and killed all the way by its kind, large animals such as wolves and tigers, small ones such as snakes and ants, etc.
Deep in the forest, along the river, were two very different worlds, dark, damp, and sultry, surrounded by a dense atmosphere and an unsettling atmosphere, with thorns along the way, or huge trees lying horizontally in the way, and on the branches, in the grass, behind the giant trees, there were unfriendly eyes everywhere, all kinds of hidden animals, looking around with frightened, suspicious, greedy eyes.
It seems that it is only a few hundred meters high, but for the deep forest where there is no road, it is so difficult to take a step forward, Sun Hao cut down all the way and advances. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Hao had not yet reached the top of the mountain, so Sun Hao had to stop, hunted two hares, and then skinned them and burned them.
The jungle at night is more terrible than during the day, poisonous snakes, spiders, centipedes, mosquitoes, poisonous ants are relatively light, and there are many large beasts and poisonous gases and miasma, any of which is enough to make people deadly.
Sun Hao cleared a place with a sapper shovel in a small flat-bottomed area, and then drove a few more wooden stakes to make a simple hammock. Liang made a delicious barbecue, added some firewood to the fire, and Sun Hao rested early.
When the jungle is pleasant, it is undoubtedly in the early morning, when the cool wind can blow away the sultry heat of the jungle, bring the fragrance of earth and unknown plants, and the wind will visit, and there will be bursts of birds.
Sun Hao was woken up early by a burst of bird chirping, and after turning over and getting out of bed, Sun Hao practiced boxing for a while.
After eating some of the hares that he didn't eat last night, Sun Hao put on his back and continued on the road, not going far, a group of spider monkeys looked at Sun Hao vigilantly, but they didn't escape without a trace like those spider monkeys in other places, but just looked at them, a few strange birds mixed with monkeys, and some other animals.
Suddenly, a wild boar jumped out of the jungle on the left, and the surrounding animals were frightened and retreated, but after a few steps back, they gradually surrounded it, and several bold monkeys threw things to fight the wild boar, and drove the huge wild boar back.
This is an interesting jungle ecological chain, Sun Hao smiled and looked at all this, each animal has its own living territory, and it is not so easy for other animals to break in, unless it is the king of the forest.
After walking a short distance, Sun Hao saw a canyon not far away.
Suddenly, there was a black gurgle in the canyon! There was a strange cry, not like a beast, a bit like a human cry, and then, Sun Hao heard several miserable screams. Sun Hao quickly followed the sound, and 10 minutes later, Sun Hao saw a small river flowing out of the canyon at the mouth of the canyon not far away. Sun Hao took out the binoculars and looked at it, it was okay not to look at it, but he was startled after seeing it.
Nima, because Sun Hao saw at least a few hundred naked bodies, wearing rings woven with vines on their heads, with a few feathers on them, their faces were also painted with white and red paint, and they wore animal bone necklaces around their necks, holding wooden sticks, stone axes and other murder weapons, and their bodies were dark like the natives of the primitive deep forest.
