In front of his subordinates, Burton was always the most majestic commander, serious and wise, as if nothing could make him feel irritated or angry, and he could laugh out loud no matter how fierce the battle was.

But this time, the elite soldiers of the British Royal Navy died at the hands of these brutes, without the slightest value, and the road is not known how far it will be.

When he saw Gore come back to his life, he still took two deep breaths, suppressed some anger and irritability in his heart, and asked in a very calm voice.

"How's the loss?"

"We've got one hundred and fifty-six left, Brigadier General, I don't think we should stop here, the smell of blood here is too strong, and there may be more beasts chasing after the smell of blood. ”

Various bloodthirsty beasts had begun to appear in the jungle, but they did not dare to step forward when they saw a large number of soldiers.

"Inform Gordon that we need to get ready to go, get all the supplies on board, and be smart. ”

After receiving the order, the soldiers buried the bodies of the dead on the spot and then retreated, and after everyone had left and gone, the entire jungle became a carnival for the bloodthirsty.

The dinghy was much empty, not only because of the reduction in personnel, but also because of the sharp reduction in supplies.

There was still a lot of food left, but there were less than twenty barrels of powder kegs left, which was already a bit stretched to the more than a hundred soldiers, and the large consumption of fish oil was a problem for the lighting of their later expeditions.

"How many bullets do we have left?"

In the dinghy, Burton was heading to Gore to learn more about supplies.

"There were less than eight hundred rounds of brigadier generals, and each soldier had almost five rounds of ammunition left. ”

"Where's Gordon?"

"It's even worse than ours. ”

"We're going to avoid more fights, at least until we find the Spaniards. ”

......

On the dinghy, many sailors were busy all night and rested directly on the rocking dinghy, but fortunately they did not encounter more accidents along the way, no crocodiles, and no piranhas.

On this day, with little rest, they traveled seventy kilometers along the wide main basin, gradually entering the central part of the Caroni River basin.

The pink sandy beach is presented here, which is formed by the alluvial pink sandstone, which is incomparably magnificent.

This is the Caroni River basin during the day, full of beautiful, alluring views, but danger always goes hand in hand with beauty, and the primeval jungle in the dark night is simply deadly.

Along the way, you can even see reindeer and grizzly bears drinking water by the river from time to time, and they seem to look at the human fleet with some curiosity.

The wind blew through the jungle, and the treetops floated in the direction of the wind, and from time to time there were the cries of various birds and beasts in the jungle, and a howler monkey let out a sharp roar, and then threw stones in the direction of the fleet in the river.

Gordon slept a little dazed in the boat, and being woken up at two o'clock in the morning seemed worse than not sleeping all night, and he did not slowly wake up until the afternoon.

"What time is it? ”

He looked up, feeling his eyes still a little bloodshot.

"It's three, but I think you should clean up your legs first. ”

Gordon rubbed his eyes with his hand, then struggled to open them as he asked, "What's on my leg?"

"It's Mr. Leech Gordon. ”

"Leech!"

Gordon snapped his eyes open, and then saw that there were two leeches in his lap that had been swollen, and that they had grown to an incredible extent, and that he was not ready to stop.

"Even, shit, can anyone help me get this thing out of the way!"

Of course, this kind of thing is not a terrible thing, but the black and twisted body always makes people feel extremely disgusting, and Gordon is not willing to touch this kind of thing with his own hands.

Like someone who is afraid of mice, Gordon simply can't stand such a disgusting thing.

"Don't worry about the captain. ”

Hearing Gordon's order, Jon directly scooped up the oars rowing in the water, and then jerked them at Gordon's legs!

Bang!

"Ahh

Screams arose, waking up many of the soldiers who were still asleep.

"Damn, can't you just be lighter? It's murder!"

"I'm sorry Captain. ”

The effect was obvious, of course, and the two well-fed leeches burst open in an instant, and blood splattered everywhere, making Gordon's face twitch hard.

"Serena, I feel like I've lost a bit of blood, lend me a pour. ”

The visual impact was enormous, with blood flowing everywhere and even staining Gordon's shoes red.

Seeing Gordon fall straight down, Serena didn't hesitate to hide to the side, making Gordon's head almost hit the side of the ship.

"Hey, you're really unsympathetic. ”

The latter just rolled his eyes, and then shoved Queline into Gordon's arms.

"Relax, Captain Gordon, the doctor says bloodletting helps cure illness and can also make people whiter. ”

......

"There's a dinghy ahead!"

The sharp-eyed soldiers saw a small boat tied to the river in front of them, and there were only those Spaniards here.

"Everybody ready to land!"

At Burton's order, the ships began to approach the shore.

Here, there is another camp of the Spaniards, and not far away, there is another small waterfall.

"They're looking for something, sir. ”

Gore took the soldiers to briefly inspect the camp and came to a conclusion.

There are many places under the waterfall where the dirt has been turned up, and they are digging for something.

"What do you think?"

Burton asked Gordon to the side.

"Probably 'angels', they know more than we know, but we also know from this that angels are something buried under some waterfall, and they don't know the location. ”

"We've got to figure out what it is, or we're going to be very passive. ”

"Brigadier General, of course, but we'll have to find the Spaniards, and I don't think we can take advantage of them if we fight them now. ”

An examination of the camp showed that the Spaniards were no better off than they were.

To the north of the camp, there was a new grave in which the bodies of about ten Spanish soldiers were buried.

Burton covered his nose with a towel to keep the foul-smelling corpse at bay.

Yes, Gore led people to dig up this pit to check the cause of their death and prepare their own people.

"What's the catch?"

"Yes, Brigadier General, these people have no obvious external injuries, their faces are blue, and the cause of death should be poisoning,"

"There really is no safe place in this jungle. ”

Burton looked at the sky, then at the essentially ready-made camp, and in order to prevent a repeat of last night's events, he decided to build a more solid camp, even if it would take more time.

Moreover, the soldiers do need more rest to ensure energy and combat effectiveness.

"Order the soldiers to camp here, and give me a little more detail. ”

"Yes, Brigadier General!"
