Lu Tianyu didn't understand why Danny went to the place where he picked the holy fruit, he heard that it was the range of cannibals, and every year when the Zoe tribe picked the holy fruit, there would be a conflict with the cannibals there, and it was very common for a few natives to die.

What did Danny take the expedition there for, "Ivan, why did you say Danny was going, did you want to put the expedition in danger. ”

Ivan shook his head and said, "It's not where the expedition is going, it's where Danny is going." ”

Lu Tianyu didn't understand what Ivan meant: "What's the difference?" ”

"Of course it's different, when the expedition team goes to the experimental station downstream of the Yapura River, it doesn't go any further, only Danny wants to see where he wants, and the expedition team won't be in danger."

Lu Tianyu nodded, understanding what Ivan meant, Danny wants to go doesn't mean that the rest of the expedition team also wants to go: "Then do you go?" For some reason, I felt like Ivan wanted to see it too.

Ivan said excitedly: "Of course I want to go, I didn't have a chance before, but now I have the opportunity, I want to see what the holy fruit looks like." You don't have to go, just stay at the lab station and stay with Ina for five or six days at the earliest, and come back after about ten days at the slowest. ”

I have lost interest in this expedition, and I have drawn a clear line with Ina, and this bodyguard mission has ended, and I want to return home as soon as possible.

Whether it was a false alarm or a danger, it was a big blow to everyone on the expedition, and when the incident was over, the honest natives felt guilty and wronged the guests from afar, and sent the expedition a large number of tropical fruits and food, hoping that the expedition would forget this unpleasant experience.

The fish meat of the Yapula River is tender and delicious, a four or five pounds of stingray is peeled from the middle, smeared with a trace of fine salt, no seasoning is needed, and the faint fragrance is overflowing with a fire that makes people salivate.

Lu Tianyu and Ivan sat by the fire, with a few local guards around them, and smeared the fish with various spices, but the fish lost its original flavor, but it was better to make it simple and natural by itself.

"You won't be a chef before, how good your skills are, it's a pity not to open a restaurant."

"I used to go out hunting, and I learned these skills at that time, and I couldn't do this skill at all, if I made it for my mother, a fish could make four or five flavors, and now when I say it, I want to eat the food that my mother cooks."

"Lu Tianyu, what did you do before, I heard that you were doing security work in Antekan, why didn't I see it."

"Hehe", Lu Tianyu smiled and didn't answer Ivan's words: "You said how long it will take for us to get to the experimental station in the lower reaches of the Yapura River, I kind of want to go home." ”

"We're two-thirds of the way and the next one is the hardest, so hurry up by boat, I told Danny about it. However, we only have two hovercraft, and the rest of us can only walk by land, or make bamboo rafts to tow them, and Danny has not yet decided what method to use. ”

Although the distance from Arica to the territory of the Zoe tribe is long, because there is a small amount of trade, it is possible to pass through a lot of small roads after a long time, but from the Zoe tribe to the experimental station in the lower reaches of the Yapura River, you basically have to walk through the inaccessible forest, and the road does not exist at all, and you have to cut with a knife and step through a passage.

Lu Tianyu can now understand why explorers have to hike through the forest, there are dense forests along the Yapura River, and in some places there is no sunlight all year round because of the shade of tall trees, and the rotting leaves on the ground are piled up half a person high, and the plane cannot find a safe landing place at all, but it is more convenient to walk from the river.

Ivan told himself all kinds of anecdotes, the customs and habits of the local aborigines, and all kinds of strange theories, especially when it came to the local aboriginal woman marrying a local, because she couldn't adapt to the life of the city, she actually ran to the back of the yard and built a thatched hut, and walked around naked, causing a lot of traffic accidents.

One side of the water and soil raises one person, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and what is said is what is going on.

Ina walked to Lu Tianyu's side with a basket of fruits, and glared at Ivan and the guards next to her fiercely, so frightened that they quickly grabbed the food and disappeared, and they couldn't stop it for fear of provoking this witch. In addition to being ruthless and unreasonable, and liking to play with the temper of the eldest lady, Ina is not useless, at least she is empathetic, good at observing words and feelings, and when she is happy, she becomes amiable and polite, and she is completely a lady's image.

I was confused by Ina's appearance, and tigers want to eat people, especially tigresses, Lu Tianyu thinks so. Can't you hide if you can't mess with yourself? Seeing Ina coming over, Lu Tianyu unconsciously stood up and drilled into the tent, but he didn't expect Ina to follow in: "Why do you always avoid me, can I eat you." ”

"You can not only eat me, but also kill me", Lu Tianyu muttered in his stomach, with a painful expression on his face: "Didn't the two of us say yes?" In the future, the well water will not interfere with the river water, and you know very well in your heart that the two of us are not people in the same world in the first place, so why should we be entangled. ”

"That's what you said, I didn't promise you, did I really make you so annoying?"

I really want to say that you really hate it, but seeing Ina's tearful appearance, Lu Tianyu's heart softened again, do you really have no feelings for Ina? But as soon as he thought of what Ina did, Lu Tianyu's heart hardened again: "Why do you have to pester me, I am a little grass to you, but little grass also has its own character and dignity." You are like a star high above me, you have your space, I have my life, so why force it. ”

"I don't dare to expect you to treat me like before, I was wrong in the past, I hope that in the next period of time, you will not be indifferent to me and avoid me, and when the investigation is over, we will return to our respective lives, okay?" Ina said with a tone of sadness and pleading.

Lu Tianyu found that he didn't know how to refuse other people's requests, especially the pleading gaze of a woman with tears in her eyes, and finally compromised after struggling in her heart.

The expedition team left the Zoe camp the next day, and the road was indeed consistent with what Ivan said, there was no road in the world, and there were many people walking, so the road was naturally formed, but there was no one walking here at all, so naturally the road could not be formed.

Walk all the way with the knife in your hand to cut all the way, a person's high artemisia grass, reeds are easy to cut, small arm thick vines are not easy to cut, the expedition team at the end of the day is embarrassed, and it is useless to go out more than ten miles, seeing that the sun is about to set, there is not even a camp around.

At this time, the two Zoe people came up with a plan, the expedition team found a big tree that four people could hug together, camped on the tree for one night, and then thought of other ways the next day.

Ina complained to Ivan, "Haven't you been here before? Why can't you even find a road".

Ivan cried and said: "Miss Ina, I walked this road three years ago, not to mention three years, even half a year later, it is impossible to find the original path again." ”

After listening to Ivan's explanation, Lu Tianyu finally understood why Ivan proposed to go to the experimental station in the lower reaches of the Yapura River from the water. Plants in tropical rainforests grow quickly, especially after the rainy season, when the original roads are immediately covered with wild vegetation, and even if a large road is dug by hand, if no one maintains it for a long time, it will be abandoned in two or three years. It's a bit like the road in your hometown, but in the winter, after the heavy snowfall, the thick snow buries everything, and you can't find the original road at all.

It's not bad to camp in a big tree, at least Ina has never had such an experience before, the hammock is tethered to the branches of the tree, hanging high in the treetops, and you can look up at the night sky like silk and jewels, and if there are any more shooting stars streaked across the night sky, it will be even more poetic, Ina thinks.

Danny's stubbornness and stubbornness led the expedition to walk in the dense forest for three days, camping in giant trees every day, which seemed good, but over time, the outcome of the matter changed, and some people questioned Danny's leadership.

The problem is obvious, the forest is not only the expedition team of active creatures, first of all, ants, red ants and black ants in the forest are not uncommon, but the man-eating ants of the Amazon are not a joke. The expedition team accidentally entered the territory of the man-eating ants, the marching speed of the man-eating ants in the forest is much faster than the expedition team, a man-eating ant is not terrible, thousands of man-eating ants are not something that the expedition team can deal with, the embarrassed expedition team walks on the territory of the man-eating ants, and the results can be imagined.

If the Zoe hadn't sensed the danger in advance, the expedition might have become a delicacy in the mouths of man-eating ants, and even most of the team members were bitten by some man-eating ants, and one of the most serious local guards even had an ulceration on their legs, which looked quite scary, and the expedition team had to take a detour to avoid the territory of the man-eating ants.

Unable to follow the banks of the Yapura River, and Danny was reluctant to drive a boat across the river, the expedition team had to walk through dense forests, covering no more than fifteen miles a day, and it would take fifteen days to reach the experimental station in the lower reaches of the Yapura River at such a speed.

Ina began to hate such a monotonous walk, the clothes on her body were torn out of many by the branches, and there were many wounds on her hands and face, and once she saw bright flowers on the side of the road, she just went up and smelled it, and the next day she began to itch all over her body, and there were symptoms of poisoning and allergies, but fortunately, she found it in time and did not cause serious consequences.

Danny's insistence has loosened, and it is likely that he will not be able to walk to the experimental station if he continues, and most of the team members will be exhausted and collapsed, Danny finds himself and Ivan, and decides to let Ina go to the experimental station by boat first, and he leads some people to continue walking and investigating in the forest.
