The people in the expedition team were crazy, and the Zoe people were also crazy, shouting and pointing ahead, and they didn't know what to say.

Ivan translated loudly on the side: "They seem to have found something, not far ahead, and the white bright spot in front of them is." ”

The Zoe people always find some clues along the way, some of which prove to be right, some of which they don't know at all, and anyway, in the eyes of the expedition team, they are very unreliable. But now it was different, and he discovered the source of interference, Leopold said that the holy fruit tree can produce interference because of its energy, and the discovery of the Zoe people proved that the direction of the expedition was correct.

After driving in the direction of the Zoe people's fingers for more than ten minutes, I came to a thatched beach, and the white that the Zoe guide said just now was actually the tidbits on the thatch, a large white ocean in the distance. The thatch is not very deep, but the terrain here is very high, and some bright white light can be faintly seen in it, hidden in a large green rhizome, and no one wants to approach it at night.

Danny stepped off the boat and bravely picked up the thatch, it turned out that the white things on the thatch were animal corpses, and many of them were piled up, and they looked quite scary. The corpses on the ground had accumulated for many years, some of them had calcified, and the breeze blew in the air and fell to the thatch, emitting a faint green light, as if there were countless ghosts floating around.

According to the Zoe people, this is the cemetery where cannibals hunt, and when you get here, you will not be far from the holy fruit tree.

"The cemetery of cannibal hunting", doesn't that mean that there are cannibals around, at least the cannibals are around, and it is possible to find the whereabouts of the expedition at any time, isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

Lu Tianyu nervously observed the movements around him, Ivan smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "The range of cannibals hunting is very wide, it is the rainy season in the Amazon, I heard the Zoe people say that at this time, the cannibals have gone farther south, and the cannibals will not return here to hunt until the rainy season is over." ”

Why didn't you say it earlier, and almost didn't scare Lu Tianyu to death, "How long will the rainy season end?" asked casually.

"The rainy season in the Amazon doesn't end until the end of December, and when the floodwaters in the forests subside, cannibals return from the south."

"That's not just half a month, will the cannibals return early", Lu Tianyu counted the days, and it was less than half a month before the end of the month.

Ivan felt that his problem was very stupid, when the cannibals would return and inform the expedition team, "Don't worry, if the flood in the forest does not recede, the animals will not return here, the cannibals generally return with the animals, I heard the old man say that this is the living habits of the cannibals for generations, and it will not change all at once." ”

The animals of the steppe migrate with the seasons, the carnivores with the herbivores, and the cannibals with the animals of the forest, and the reason makes sense.

Without the threat of cannibals, their task is much easier, these days I have encountered a lot of crocodiles, pythons, and even seen piranhas, but the threat in the water is limited after all, as long as you are careful and vigilant, there will generally be no casualties. Every time he camped, Lu Tianyu used a life tester to check the surrounding situation, and set up a strict cordon at night, that is, to fetch water and deal with small things like personal hygiene, he asked more than two people to act, and so far there have been no casualties.

Danny's concern is obviously not on the safety of the expedition team, all the affairs of the expedition team are handled by himself, Danny takes the Zoe people around every day to look for the holy fruit tree, only when the holy fruit tree is found, Danny will end the expedition, completely crazy.

The hovercraft stopped at the thatched beach, and the Zoe people said that the holy fruit tree was not far from here, and Danny took the Zoe people to check around, saying that they were checking the terrain and dangers, but in fact they wanted to find the holy fruit tree first.

He and Ivan climbed to a high slope and found that the expedition had reached the edge of the swamp, and then went east, only to abandon the hovercraft and move forward on foot.

"Ivan, have you been here before?"

"No," Ivan shook his head, looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and said, "It's going to rain again, it seems that this rain is not small, we must find a dry place to camp before it rains." ”

In the distance, you can hear the rumbling thunder, and the dark clouds in the darkened sky keep rolling, and the dark clouds are accumulating more and more, and they are getting thicker and thicker, like a big mountain pressing on the expedition, and the wind and rain are about to come and the mountain is about to be destroyed. It was sunny just now, but now suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the half-man-high thatch was bent over, and swayed with the wind, as if it would break in the next moment.

It was unwise to stand on a high place, and he and Ivan were like two lightning rods erected on a high place, and a lightning bolt cut through the night in the distance, hitting the ground straight away, followed by a thunderclap.

Lu Tianyu looked at the lightning in the distance and was a little distracted, Ivan dragged it a few times, and found that Lu Tianyu was staring blankly into the distance, his eyes were full of doubts and puzzlement: "What are you looking at, hurry up and get out of here, it's too late." ”

"Look at those lightnings, is there something wrong", Lu Tianyu pointed to the lightning in the distance.

What is so beautiful about lightning, it is one of the most powerful forces of nature, and it is also a sign of a storm, the temperature of lightning ranges from 17,000 degrees Celsius to 28,000 degrees Celsius, which is equal to 3~5 times the surface temperature of the sun. The extreme heat of the lightning causes the air along its path to expand violently, and the air moves quickly, so that waves are formed and sounds are made that only a madman would love lightning.

Lightning does not fall in the same place, I don't know who said this sentence, but no one seems to doubt the correctness of this sentence, the randomness of lightning is very large, and the probability of falling in the same place is extremely low, which is lower than the probability of winning a lottery ticket.

Ivan squinted his eyes at the lightning that kept falling in the sky in the distance: "Nothing strange, isn't it just lightning, a lot of lightning, falling together ......", Ivan shivered, his eyes were the size of copper bells, and the lightning in front of him seemed to be piled up, constantly bombarding the same place, could it be that there was an iron mine underground.

I have heard before that if there is iron ore buried in the ground, lightning will be attracted by the iron ore in the ground, is there iron ore buried in front, "if you make a fortune, you will be rich, you don't need to find any holy fruit trees", Ivan suddenly found that the world's colorful banknotes were beckoning to him.

"Danny and the two Zoe people are starting in the same direction, it seems to be there."

Ivan's trembling voice replied, "You mean that's where the holy fruit trees grow?" ”

"It's possible, but it's not sure yet, didn't you hear Leopold say that the Holy Fruit Tree is a huge energy body? If it is really as he said, there are huge energy bodies on the ground, and the lightning in the sky will naturally be attracted to the energy bodies on the earth, which makes some sense. ”

"That's it, it must be like this, we found the holy fruit tree", Ivan craned his neck, stood on tiptoe, and looked ahead, hoping to see what the holy fruit tree really looked like.

Lu Tianyu poured a basin of cold water and said: "Don't be happy too early, it's at least twenty kilometers away from us, I have a bad premonition, it's more dangerous there than here, if it were me, I wouldn't want you to go anywhere." ”

Ivan was completely immersed in the joy of discovering the holy fruit tree, forgetting Lu Tianyu's warning: "Great, we will leave early tomorrow morning, and we will be able to get there before dark at the latest, if we find the secret of the growth of the holy fruit tree, it will be worth everything we have paid before." ”

"I'm afraid we're going to be here for a day or two, didn't you say there was going to be a storm coming? This kind of weather is not suitable for looking for holy fruit trees, so it is better to wait until the rain has passed and the weather is clear. "It's not my purpose to look for the holy fruit tree, walking 20 kilometers in a storm is playing with my life, and I don't want these people to die for the holy fruit tree.

In the distance, three lonely figures appeared, walking back from far and near in the wind with great difficulty: Danny and the two Zoe people.

"I'm going to tell Danny about the discovery of the tree," Danny said after more than an hour of departure, and it was impossible to find the tree.

Lu Tianyu grabbed Ivan, who was about to run, and said: "It's better to wait until the rain stops, I don't want Danny to take you on an adventure, the holy fruit tree may be there, there is no difference one day earlier or one day later, why bother looking for it in the storm." I was worried that after Danny heard the news, he immediately organized an expedition to find it, and he could not worry about the safety of Danny and the others, but he couldn't ignore Ina's safety.

"You have a point, I'm too excited", Ivan nodded silently, his current mood was the same as Danny's, and he didn't dare to imagine if Danny would immediately turn around and look for the holy fruit tree after he found out.

Danny did not find the holy fruit tree, and as soon as he and the two Zoe people walked less than ten miles, they found that it was getting dark, and had to return to look for the expedition.

Ivan excitedly tried to open his mouth several times to tell Danny the news of finding the holy fruit tree, but he was stopped by himself, and Danny watched the pouring rain fall from the sky in frustration, and the expression of loss and frustration on his face was indescribable.

Outside the tent, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was frighteningly dark, and the wind mixed with huge raindrops hit the tent. The camp was set up on a hard hillside, and a ring of drainage ditches was dug around the tent, and the rain flowed down the hillside, and soon became a stream, and countless streams merged into a pool in the low-lying area below the hillside, and the pool of water kept pouring upward, as if it were about to overflow the hillside at once.

Ivan sat in the tent, absentmindedly playing poker with Lu Tianyu and Ina, and didn't care about the good cards in his hand, which provoked Ina to throw the cards in his hand in Ivan's face.

"How heavy is it raining outside, can you go out and find the holy fruit tree? If you want to go, don't involve the rest of the expedition team", Lu Tianyu threw away the cards in his hand angrily, lit a cigarette and leaned on the soft cushion, and looked at the heavy rain outside the tent.
