After following Linda in this humid rainforest for most of the day, I only felt that my breathing was becoming more and more laborious, probably because of the excessive humidity, and I sometimes felt that the method of "looking at qi" became not very good, and I couldn't even see clearly if those colorful and bright berries were poisonous.

As far as the eye could see, the line of sight could only go twenty or thirty meters away, and it was obscured by dense bushes. It is surrounded by shrubs that are more than one meter tall and no more than four meters high. And above these shrubs are some trees that I can't even name, and I can't even look at. Looking at the leaves of the shrubs, I found that most of these trees were eight to ten meters tall, and the crown grew just above the low shrubs, which cleverly divided the space of more than ten meters from the ground to the top of the head into interesting halves.

I distinctly remember that the moisture on the ground has been getting heavier and heavier since just now, and the dirt road I took in the car before was like a dividing line with the weather and the terrain, separating the dry bush from the wet rainforest. As we continued deeper into this world that had turned dark green as the sun faded, I just felt more and more neem berries in front of me. In the rainforest, this plant is the only one that I can barely identify - after all, some works on herbal medicine in traditional Chinese medicine have mentioned more about this kind of plant whose roots and leaves can be used in medicine, and has the functions of dispelling wind and dampness, and relieving qi and relieving pain. It is said that this berry plant, with petioles of 20 to 30 centimeters long, oblong ovate leaves, and small yellow-white flowers in the shape of an umbrella, is very common in Guangxi and even in Vietnam. According to the book, the flowering period of this plant is from April to October, and the fruiting period is from August to December, so that the nails-sized drupes that grow between the yellow and white flowers are its fruits.

Thinking of this, I took advantage of Linda's time to stop and investigate, and couldn't help but pull a small handful of yellow-green berries, put them in my mouth and chew them - it was very unpalatable! I guess it's not mature yet.

Seeing that I had suffered a loss, Linda grinned vigorously and spit out the residue of the drupes in her mouth, and without saying much, she still took a quiet step, continuing to use the faint footprints on the muddy ground, as well as the plants that were torn off and trampled along the way, searching for the traces of Ah Xia and the others. When I saw her move, I hurriedly stuffed some of the grass blades I had torn off into my mouth and chewed them, and then trotted to catch up with her.

As the pulp of the blades of grass seeped into my throat, I really slowly felt refreshed, while feeling the re-rising fresh air in my body, I couldn't help but sigh at the mystery of nature - when I was a child, I was playing in the wild, and I was often pierced by a weed called nettle, every time, adults would find the nearest artemisia grass to mash and smear, and the effect was immediate. Unexpectedly, the leaves of this inconspicuous shrub that can be seen everywhere happen to have the function of removing moisture. The relationship between heaven and earth seems to be in the dark. The so-called: There is no death in the world, and there is a door to life at the end of the fog, so to speak, probably.

As my steps became brisk, I felt that the scenery around me became brighter, and the sunlight seeped down from time to time, and suddenly this rainforest, which was not lacking in birds and insects, was decorated like a fairy tale world.

"Bah, Bah, Bah!" Suddenly, a few sharp gunshots from far and near pulled me back to reality. Linda, who was in front of her, also heard it clearly, turned back to me and gave me a look, and was already up with her waist up, holding her two guns, and ambushed behind the thick trunk of a tree with a huge canopy, ready to wait and see what happened.

Naturally, I had no choice but to follow her example, crouching behind a low tree three meters away from her, clenching the M-16 automatic rifle in my hand, and looking in the direction where the gunfire came from with trepidation. It's just that since the last gunshot rang out, I haven't heard any more obvious movement. Waiting in this unsettling silence made me feel an unprovoked panic rise in my heart, as if a pair of eyes were staring at me at any moment in the depths of the rainforest.

Fortunately, this terrifying tranquility did not last long, and after about five minutes, only a crisp sound of "bang" was heard without warning, and a broad-leaved forest twenty meters away was pushed away by two men in ragged clothes and muddy water mixed with flesh and blood, and behind them, there were several black shadows that were winding and coiling!

“run！”

(Run!) ）

By the time Linda's words reached my ears, her figure had passed me neatly, just as she had when she had slid out of the window of the broken down bus.

This woman who has been stabbed a thousand times! When I saw what was behind the two exclaimed men, I only had time to scold Linda in my heart for being unjust, and I hurriedly turned around and joined the ranks of those who fled in the wilderness. In my panic, I wished that my legs had turned into seamless wheels, otherwise I would not have been able to escape from the mouth of the terrifying creature more than ten meters behind me. Running at full speed, I couldn't help but look back, and I happened to meet the god-like giant thing in the underworld, and for a moment it made me feel like someone had poured a basin of cold water on my head in the middle of winter, and it was cold from my head to my heels. The reason for this is not because long before I entered the rainforest, I was deeply rooted in my heart by the many monster horror movies I watched in high school-

The giant python is the well-deserved grim reaper in the rainforest!

What's more, behind those two guys who jumped out of nowhere, the bucket-thick, more than ten or twenty meters long Dead Man's Express, there is not only one, but, two, oh no, three!

Oh my god!

Seeing a larger black-skinned python emerge from the top of the tree, I was sure that this trip would be more auspicious than bad luck - if it was flat, people might be able to compete with the python, but here are muddy depressions everywhere, surrounded by grassy rainforest! During the run, I was overwhelmed by the tangled bushes, not to mention the puddles under my feet. On the other hand, the giant snake, with its sinuous movement pattern and its freely retracted body, is perfect in this rainforest where the terrain is alluvial and the branches grow in a haphazard manner.

After a few minutes, I already felt the sound of the giant snake "sizzling" behind me getting closer and closer.

"Phew!" - Suddenly, there was another gunfire without warning behind me, and in a panic, I couldn't help but look back, only to see that the man who was closer to me not far behind me had tilted his head and slammed his body to the ground. Immediately, while he was still cursing Vietnamese, he was bitten by one of the giant snakes with a dark forehead. It's just that the python stretched its neck to swallow its prey, and the lower half of the man's body has been bitten by another gray-headed giant snake. I saw that the two snakes wrestled for only three or four seconds, but the humble body of the unlucky man had long been unable to bear it, and with a "bang", it had already dragged the blood flower to break from the middle, and it was divided into two parts, and it was swallowed by the two giant snakes together!

I'll go! It's so ruthless!

In this sentence, I am not only referring to the amazing black-skinned giant snake, but also to the man who shot his companion and sacrificed the lives of others to save himself! Who can be sure that the next moment, he won't use this trick on me!?

Thinking of this, my back became more and more cold, and my pace suddenly doubled, and I chased after Linda's figure like a whirlwind, completely ignoring the man behind me who shouted a string of Vietnamese that I didn't understand at all. Although the situation was urgent, I could clearly recognize these two heavily armed men, dressed in the same outfits as those drug dealers who ruthlessly slaughtered people!

"Wait! Help - help me! ”

Seeing that I was indifferent, the man was probably desperate, and just when I thought he was about to give up, I didn't expect that he would shout a few words of Chinese at the end of the road!

All right. I admit that I am a nationalist. Hearing the man behind me shout this authentic Chinese, I couldn't help but turn around, pull the bolt and hit the three aggressive pythons! Impartially, it hit the head of the giant snake the size of a copper hammer at the front, forcing it back a few steps - ho! Sure enough, having a gun in your hand means feeling safe! When I was about to take advantage of this opportunity to do another shuttle, the thing in my hand on which I had high hopes did not spit out the tongue of fire that caused the wild thing to disperse—

I rub! At the critical moment, this TM was stuck?!

Seeing the two giant pythons, one of which had already rushed towards the man dressed as a drug dealer, and the other was even bigger, and it was also like a train, crashing straight towards me - in a hurry, I suddenly lost all my thoughts, and I couldn't help but curse in my heart: Damn American! I knew that I would use the AK-47, which is ugly like that, but it will never "crash" for no reason!

"My life is on the ......"

Just as I secretly confessed my fate, a series of crisp gunshots rang out one after another around me, and at the same time, more than a dozen gushing blood springs also shot out from under the scales of the face and neck of the two giant snakes with the sound of gunfire-you don't need to look to know that this bullet has no false head, this time to turn around to meet the attack, this incomparably decisive power, besides Linda, which one else can there be?

The two giant snakes were sniped, and naturally they were in pain, and they had already devoured half an adult man each, so their need for food was not so urgent, and seeing that they couldn't get any benefits, they turned around and turned back and walked away into the depths of the rainforest, leaving only two winding black shadows, and the remaining spotted-faced giant snake that had not yet tasted the smell of meat.

I only heard a strange "hissing" sound, and the giant snake that was pulled down had already attacked alone like a black whirlwind, and the target was naturally the man who looked like a drug dealer five steps in front of me, and it was estimated that the pistol had been empty.

"Save ...... Help me! ”

As he let out a heart-rending scream, I had already taken the AK-47 from my back that I had been carrying on my back just in case, and pulled the trigger hard at the snake's gaping mouth!

"Dada, dada......"

Soviet-style weapons are different, and sure enough, the classics have nothing to do with the era.

Seeing the flames rushing at the muzzle of the gun, I even felt the blood in my body boiling for a moment, and I couldn't help but pour all the bullets at the giant python that was hit by Linda's accurate shooting, and beat the barrel-thick snake body to pieces, and a large bag of mucus in the snake's stomach that I don't know what it was, also "banged", and poured all my brains on the man who was trembling with his legs and was frightened.

Dude, since you have picked up a small life, what is there to worry about peeing your pants? The man was doused with the thick juice from the serpent's belly, and immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly avoided the body of the python that was like a telephone pole, and ran to where we were.

Linda saw that the frightened man was about to hug her, and she had already turned around and gently gave way, but let him rush towards me, and before I could dodge, I had been hugged by this foul-smelling man, and suddenly the rancid smell of his body immediately filled my nostrils......

Fuck you-the turtle grandson! You repay your savior like this?

I almost threw up, and I hurriedly pulled out my hand to open the bastard's trembling body and kicked him out of the way! Seeing that he stumbled a few steps and fell to the ground on his back, I immediately stepped forward, stepped on his chest with one foot, loaded the AK-47 submachine gun with both hands, and pointed the muzzle of the black hole against his somewhat bowed head, and asked, "Say!" Who the hell are you? Why come here? What does it have to do with those drug dealers who kill people without blinking? ”

This guy probably only cared about fleeing for his life all the way, and he had already collapsed, only to be frightened again, and he was hit by my powerful kick, and fell to the ground, and he didn't have the strength to get up for a long time, but he rolled his eyes vigorously, panting heavily, and posing as a victim, which made me feel like a bad person for a while. Confused, I couldn't help but look at Linda, and when I saw her smile and shook her head gently, I didn't dare to be careless, but I still held the gun tightly against his bare head, just loosening my feet a little to make it easier for him to gasp.

The man really felt much more comfortable, and after a stalemate for half a minute, he finally turned his eyes and focused on my face, still begging for mercy breathlessly:

"This hero, a good man spares his life, I, I am also from the border city, I am here to do business, and I am a duty. Please look at the hero, everyone is Chinese, for the sake of ......, "When I heard it, I just thought it was funny, you TM can be regarded as keeping your duty, and you don't make the teacher who taught you benevolence and morality so angry that he came back to life from the grave and died!" Besides, I am a dignified Great China, how can you come out of the scum who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country and slaughtered compatriots!

Thinking of this, I really want this drug dealer's lackey to be happy, but, after all, he didn't do this, his eyes met his pitiful innocent eyes, although he knew that this begging expression was squeezed out by that person, but he still couldn't be ruthless, and his cultivation was not enough...... So, after some hesitation, I shook my head, pointed at Linda with my chin, and said to the turtle grandson on the ground, "Please let her go." She's the 'international (excess) detective who kills you scum! If you don't explain it well, if she wants to kill, even I won't be able to protect you. ”

When Linda heard that I had a beautiful "kicking ball", she also smiled, frowned very cooperatively, glanced at her lips, put on a fierce expression, stepped forward, and pointed at the man lying on the ground with a muffled butt, directly knocking away his two bloody gold teeth, and bluffing him immediately.

I'm going to go! Linda, this woman, is still here for real! I couldn't help but gasp when I saw her torture the drug dealer's ruthlessness in dressing up as a man, and suddenly remembered that I didn't know her details at all, and my heart felt more and more unstable...... I was about to think about it, but she actually took advantage of the moment when the man was beaten by her and winked at me mischievously, seeing that I was at a loss, and I didn't realize that I had a series of strong questions about this woman who was full of drama and mystery - why is a "reporter" so accurate in marksmanship? Why is the killing so decisive? Why can you see this dangerous jungle like a backyard? And why is it so skilled in such a profession as dismantling landmines......

Linda, who the hell are you sacred?

Seeing that I was silent in thought, Linda seemed to sense it again, and just smashed the butt of the gun on the bloody and swollen mouth of the man who turned his face, turned his head and immediately turned back into that smiling poker face, and whispered to me: "The good news is that I have no ill will towards you. ”

I was shocked! Immediately, it was slowly relieved. Yes, it doesn't matter who she is, in this boundless extralegal world, if she wants to kill me, it is not as easy as stepping on an ant. In this situation of absolute disparity in strength, it is really not my turn to suspect her identity. Dao Fayun: I am fortunate to pass by, and the meeting in Pingshui is fate. In the vast rainforest, wouldn't it be nice for us to keep some secrets with each other, as strangers have a tacit understanding between each other?

Pretty good, pretty good.

In the midst of relief, the man couldn't bear the pain under Linda's obscenity, and finally spoke-confessed: It turned out that his name was Lu Ashui, and he was really from the border city - this was also barely confirmed by the information on the ID card that Linda searched from the mezzanine of his clothes - and met drug dealers when he came to Vietnam three months to do cross-border trading. Because he has been walking around with his father since he was a child, he is very familiar with the mountains and woodlands around the Sino-Vietnamese border, and he is deeply appreciated by the drug dealers who come to the rainforest to search for the treasures of the tombs, so he has no choice but to defect to them and help this group of armed drug dealers who have traveled all the way from Myanmar as a guide to lead the way. Recently, he was even promoted, and he actually served as a staff officer for the leader of the drug dealers, "Pei Cha".

Which one is this? After listening to Ah Shui's explanation, I only felt that I had already raised a hundred "untrustworthy" signs in my heart - do you think this "Pei Cha" brother is a fan of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and a fan of Cao Cao? Putting aside the lucrative drug business and not doing it, but counting on being a "captain who touches gold", and making money by digging up people's graves - do you think he is stupid? Or are we stupid who will believe you?

"Well, the Burmese worship jade, and there is no shortage of strange people who are proficient in foreign arts. The big drug lord came to take danger for the ancient jade in the tomb, but it didn't make sense. However, I don't understand Feng Shui and the like as you Chinese. After listening to Ah Shui's explanation, Linda did not veto it completely, but threw the question back to me, hoping that I could give a decent explanation.

It's just that she thinks too highly of me. If you ask Jin Siniang about feng shui, maybe you can really find the answer, am I a half-hanger, but I have nothing to say. Having said that, when I heard that the drug dealers were also looking for tombs in this deserted old mountain, could it be that it coincided with our purpose - also to find the ruins of the ancient village? In this way, Ah Xia and the others, wouldn't it be very dangerous!

Linda seemed to see my concern, so she picked up Ah Shui from the ground, shook her head and objected despite being frightened by the giant python, and forced him to walk in front with a gun, and walked back along the road where she had escaped before, and continued to look for the traces of Ah Xia and the others. For a moment, I seemed to catch a glimpse of imperceptible cunning flashing in Linda's eyes staring at Ah Shui - could it be that she had already seen the truth behind the lies in Ah Shui's words? So why did she hide it from me? Or does she not really trust me?

Linda, sure enough, is still the woman who can't be seen through.

Not long after leaving, even I saw that Ah Shui, who had a ghost in his heart, wanted to run away repeatedly, but he couldn't distance himself from her because of Linda's ghostly steps. Seeing Ah Shui's appearance in Cao Ying's heart in Han, Linda was also interesting, pretending to be unseen, and she didn't say anything, but just followed him tightly, and caught him back like a chicken when he inadvertently wanted to run.

Na Ah Shui is also not interested, seeing that Linda has nothing to do except withdraw and arrest him back when he deliberately deviates from the route, and his courage is getting bigger and bigger, but on the surface, he pretends to be in order, and he has nothing to do for a long time. I knew something was wrong, but because he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, I had to still follow Linda, staring at Ah Shui three meters away with anxiety.

I happened to pass by a broad-leaved tree with leaves full one meter long and thirty or forty centimeters wide, I only thought that this tropical plant was not as tall as a shrub, and I was about to take a closer look, but I saw that Ah Shui had already suddenly taken a step, slammed away the leaves, and lowered his head to drill over. When I said something bad in my heart, I hurriedly followed Linda to pick up the thick broad-leaved leaves like a fan, and got into it - when I looked up, I was dumbfounded, there were low broad-leaved plants everywhere that were the height of this person, and where was the shadow of Ah Shui in front of me! On the emerald green leaves facing me, there happened to be a "frog" with a bright red body, a petite body, dark eyes, and crouching limbs, which was facing me and puffing out the air sacs under its mouth, which was especially unique and magnificent in this humid rainforest.

“get down!”

(Squat!) ）

Hearing Linda's soft cry without any emotional fluctuations, I instinctively lowered my head according to her instructions, only to feel that a sticky water arrow had already "swished" over my head, and at the same time, the double guns in Linda's hands also made a crisp sound!

At the same time as the gunshot rang out, an article that I had read when I read the "World Knowledge Pictorial" suddenly appeared in my mind, about this kind of bright and beautiful little frog that grows in the rainforest, and the book rated it as one of the top ten killers in the animal kingdom, it is said that the venom in its body is enough to kill ten adult men in an instant when it is the size of a fingernail! That's right, this highly poisonous jungle elf, its scientific name is-

Poison dart frog.

Luckily, the demon of the Rainforest Poison King, when I looked up in shock, had been smashed to ashes by Linda's precise bullets, along with the heavy broad leaves beneath its feet, leaving only a steaming bullet hole in the blade and a few small splashes of blood around it.

As the sound of gunfire shook a large flock of birds, I quickly found an arbor, climbed up the branch of the tree by dividing it by two, and thought: In less than a minute, Ah Shui should not have fled far! Sure enough, standing on a high place, I could easily see that one bush after another fell and rose one after another at a constant rate. Needless to say, I also know that the sneaky figure in the swaying bush is not Ah Shui, who else can there be?

To be honest, I didn't expect Ah Shui to help us with his vast jungle experience - this is clear from the hapless companion who died indirectly under his gun, so I would have preferred him to stay away rather than keep him around. It's just that there is one reason why I don't want to let him go: it's just that I'm worried that he will return to the camp of the drug dealers and bring back more heavily armed enemies, posing a threat to Ah Xia and the others and us.

Thinking like this, I hurriedly hit a shuttle into the sky as a warning! When Ah Shui heard the gunshot, not only did he not stop, but he fled faster, and he was about to run out of the range of my submachine gun!

"Phew!" Finally, Linda's gun went off. It's just that Ah Shui's figure seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then continued to run wildly.

"Phew!" Linda fired one more shot, then "Bah, Bah, Bah", and three more shots in quick succession.

I really don't understand, Linda's idea is this! Sister, if you miss it again, that cunning human spirit will run away!

Unbeknownst to him, after firing five shots, Linda actually blew into the muzzle of the gun and directly withdrew the two guns back to her waist! W- Did you give up?

Alas~ Seeing that the shadow of the shrub was no longer fluctuating, after sighing, I had to slip down from the trunk listlessly and in disappointment, and as soon as I landed, I collided with Ah Shui, who suddenly came out of the grass in Leng Buding, and was full of arms-

"Yo, good man, don't come unharmed, I, I'm just, go ahead and explore the way. Exploring the Path...... "The one who speaks is naturally Ah Shui, who is sweating on the top of his head.

Do you think I'll believe you? Like me who turned around and left, Linda didn't pay attention to Ah Shui, only stretched out one hand, gently touched the pistol on her waist, and then pointed the way with the other finger, revealing her trademark smile. Although she didn't hear a word spit out, the cunning Ah Shui was very conscious, and he was already trotting on the road.

For a while, I only felt that there seemed to be something different about him in front of me: when I looked closely, I suddenly realized that it was the amulet-like copper coins that Ah Shui had hung on his waist before, and the sound of clanging was a little different! After a closer look, I remembered that there should have been seven copper coins in the string before, but now there seemed to be only two hanging under the thin red line.

It seems that the bad guys eat hard and don't eat soft, probably.
