"It's not for nothing to say now. Instead of thinking about something that can't be solved, it's better to work on what is in front of you. Wang Yi glanced at Zhang Qiang and said.

As I was talking, I had another question in mind.

Turned his head and looked at Zhang Qiang: "Qiangzi, have you opened the metal box and seen it?" ”

"Huh?? Of course not. When I brought it out just now, you all looked at it! How can I have that time!! Zhang Qiang said, glancing down at the metal box in his hand: "Or, I'll open it now??" ”

"That's fine. In any case, it is still necessary to check the authenticity of the fake. Zhao Qiqi heard this and nodded.

While we were talking, Zhang Qiang had quickly opened the metal box.

In fact, the box is not locked.

No, it should be said that the original lock has been broken.

Therefore, Zhang Qiang directly opened the lid easily.

As I saw in my head, there were only two things in the box—a small map and a vial of reagent.

After looking closely, Zhang Qiang looked at me and said, "The thing should be real." Give it, it's better for you to keep it. ”

I didn't say much, but it just turned out and put it in my backpack.

After a while, we were back at the point where the river branched.

With a slight turn of the steering wheel to the right, the dinghy entered a nearby tributary.

We found a better place to park the boat and parked the dinghy on the shore.

I checked the oil level and the oil was about to bottom out.

That being said, we towed the dinghy to the shore and hid it among the weeds just to be on the safe side.

After doing all this, I patted the dust off my hands.

"That's it! The rest of the road, we can only rely on walking. Actually, I've looked at the map, and these paths will eventually lead to the mysterious tribe in the center. So, it's up to you which path you choose. I said, clearing my throat, "But there's one thing I want to warn you of. But don't forget that the area is full of swamps. So, when walking, you must be careful and never accidentally fall into it. ”

When Zhang Qiang heard this, he immediately looked around.

He picked up a few thick twigs from the ground and handed them to me and four other teammates: "Hey, take this and explore the way first!" It's safer to walk here. ”

I thought that this was indeed the case, and took the branch from his hand.

When the others saw this, they also took the branches in their hands.

"Everyone, remember to grab your weapons, and if there is no problem, let's go now!!" As I spoke, I looked at the woods beside me.

Raise your hand and point to the nearest path: "Since any one is fine, then this one!" ”

With that, I stepped in.

When the others saw this, they followed.

I don't know if it's because it's the most central land in the Devouring Swamp.

Therefore, the color of the soil and plants here is stronger than that of other places.

Moreover, the poisonous fog in the air is also more intense.

There is no doubt that if we are at this time, take off the gas mask that we wear on our faces.

Then we may be poisoned immediately.

There are a lot of weeds in the woods, and I am worried that I will encounter something poisonous in them.

So everyone stopped and put on the mountaineering clothes that they had prepared in advance before the game started.

I walked for more than half an hour.

The further you go, the narrower the road becomes.

However, traces of human civilization are slowly emerging.

First of all, there are the strangely shaped carvings on the trees on both sides.

Yes!

It's carving.

It's the kind of carving that is handmade and looks like it's of a certain age.

There are many kinds of things carved into trees.

There are birds, insects, and fish, and some seem to be records of the rituals held by the wild people in the past.

In short, the surface of these trees is full of carvings.

Further inside, the surrounding scene is even more eerie.

The surface of the trees on both sides is wrapped in the skin of a python.

I don't know how the wild people of these tribes used to find so many pythons, kill them all, and peel off their skins and stick them on the trunks.

"Oh my, what the hell is this ritual?? This is too infiltrating, right?? He actually peeled off the snake's skin and stuck it on the trunk of a tree. Looking at these snakeskins now, I feel panicked. Zhang Qiang complained and walked inside.

"Be careful, in case there's any trap around." I saw that he was speeding up, and hurriedly reminded.

However, I don't know if the road we chose was safer or if we were lucky.

In short, along the way, we did not encounter anything dangerous, nor did we fall into a swamp.

After walking along the path for more than 20 minutes, we finally faintly saw a strangely shaped complex of buildings in front of the jungle.

It seems that it should be the legendary mysterious tribe.

"Eh, we seem to be almost there?!" Zhang Qiang looked at it, and immediately swallowed his saliva, and he glanced at me with some apprehension: "I hope that this time, we will not encounter the cannibal tribe like when we first entered the 'True Demon'." ”

"Qiangzi, didn't I say you ......" Du Deming heard this, and pressed his temple: "You sometimes, can you not be so crow-mouthed?" On the contrary, sometimes what you kid says is quite effective. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't laugh or cry: "Maybe, he is like this, he can be regarded as a talent!" ”

"What are you two talking about? Why don't I understand it?? Zhang Qiang listened to the conversation between me and Du Deming, and scratched his head with some doubts.

"Okay, don't talk about these things! You see, the situation inside seems to be different from what we imagined!! Just as the three of us were talking, Zhao Qiqi suddenly pointed ahead and said.

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately moved their eyes to the direction of her finger.

"What?? Isn't it just a tribe? It's not strange...... "Zhang Qiang wanted to say something, but I covered his mouth.

Just as he was talking nonsense, I had already reached for the binoculars from his trouser pocket.

The moment I saw the situation clearly, I was even more puzzled in my heart.

"Take a look at this!" I patted him on the shoulder, lowered my voice and handed him the binoculars in my hand.

Zhang Qiang took it and looked at it in surprise for a while, and his face changed suddenly.

"This ...... Why are there mercenaries, scientific researchers, and caravan members in primitive tribes? That's weird, isn't it?! Zhang Qiang said, handing the telescope to Situ Cao again.
