(New book, ask for collection and push!) Amazon travel, two or three chapters over! Yesterday was a mistake, today two more! Hahaha)

Cheng Fan's entry into South America is from the southern part of the island of Maraca, in the Brazilian state of Amapá, which is south of the equator, north of the Tropic of Capricorn, and not far from the mouth of the famous Amazon River into the Atlantic Ocean.

Cheng Fan chose this place as the landing site, firstly, because Amapa Prefecture is vast and sparsely populated, with an area of 140,000 square kilometers, but the population is only more than 200,000 people. The second is that it belongs to the Amazon River Basin, where the largest tropical rainforest on Earth, the western edge of the Amazon Rainforest, begins.

The Amazon River, the second longest river in the world (the first is the Nile, the third is the Yangtze River, and the fourth is the Mississippi River), located in the northern part of South America, is the river with the most flow, basin and tributaries on the planet today.

Its river flow reaches 219,000 cubic meters per second, which is several times larger than the Nile, Yangtze and Mississippi rivers combined, and is about equivalent to the flow of seven Yangtze rivers, accounting for 20% of the world's river flow; What's even more staggering is that the number of its tributaries, large and small, adds up to more than 15,000.

From the map, it can be intuitively seen that rivers stretch out from the main vein of the Amazon River, spreading almost the entire land in northern South America, bordering the Pacific Ocean in the west and the Atlantic Ocean in the east.

With so many tributaries, spread over a large area of South America, the area of influence that flows through them is staggering, and the entire basin is almost as large as the whole of Australia, amounting to 6.915 million square kilometers, accounting for 40% of the total area of South America.

Rivers are the cradle of life and civilization!

Among the four ancient civilizations, the ancient Chinese civilization originated in the Yellow River Valley, the ancient Indian civilization was born from the Ganges River, the ancient Egyptian civilization was born on the banks of the Nile, and the ancient Babylonian civilization originated from the Euphrates River.

But in this ancient Amazon basin, it has not produced such a brilliant ancient civilization as ancient Egypt and ancient China!

Amazon has always felt like ...... There are many rivers, dense forests, many plants and animals, many dangers, and primitive tribes, walking in the forest, maybe you will run into cannibals or something!

Savage, primitive, barren, large areas uncultivated.

But the strange thing is that this wild land is rumored to be full of strange creatures, aliens, lost ancient civilizations, and the Amazon El Dorado, which attracts many explorers and scientists every year.

Cheng Fan was wondering, would he dig up a treasure here? Maybe we can catch two wild aliens or something!

The Amazon rainforest accounts for 20 percent of the world's forests, which means that if there are five forests in the world, the Amazon alone will be one of them.

It's a pity that the road in the tropical rainforest is very difficult to walk, the forest is dense, several times more than the island jungle where Cheng Fan was born, the primitive old forest, all kinds of plants grow, in a small space, squeezed out hundreds of thousands of animals and plants.

The vegetation that grows high blocks out the sun, the surface is almost dark, and due to the tropical rainforest climate, rain and high temperatures make the forest very hot and humid. Even if you walk naked in the rainforest, it won't be long before you sweat and get drenched.

But in this dangerous place, not to mention the naked (harmonious) body, even if you are wearing clothes, it is not necessarily very safe.

Poisonous spiders with stripes of flowers, mosquitoes with deadly viruses, parasites lying on their stomachs in the grass ready to jump, blood-sucking leeches and venomous snakes that often appear in movies in tropical rainforests.

Sometimes, you can see a small, cute frog lying on a blade of grass!

The road in the rainforest, even Cheng Fan, felt that it was very difficult to walk. It wasn't that some creature could pose a danger to him, but that vines and plants were rampant and entangled in the jungle with all kinds of plants, blocking his path.

Fortunately, there are not many rivers in the Amazon Basin, and it is not good to walk on land, yes, I swim through the water!

In the rainforest river, there are no fewer animals than on the shore, there are many fish, and in the water, Cheng Fan encounters many creatures that have only been seen on the screen before, such as Amazon crocodiles, snapping turtles, electric eels and piranhas, as well as parasitic sharks that are said to be able to pee even into them.

This guy has personally experienced the electric shock of the electric eel, and even in order to see if the piranha is as powerful as rumored, he deliberately bled an Amazon crocodile (black caiman) into the water to attract this group of wolves in the water!

The Amazon crocodile killed by Cheng Fan was 4 meters long, and the method of death belonged to the active death type. On that day, Cheng Fan was in the river, curiously tailing two pink-colored puffer fish (not a puffer fish that turned into a ball, but a mammal, like a white-sided dolphin) to study, and somehow attracted a black caiman, who actually came to attack Cheng Fan.

Cheng Fan originally wanted to do nothing and just slaughter the crocodile, but he saw a piranha swimming in the nearby water, so he had a ...... in his mind A bold idea!

He opened several blood holes on this unlucky crocodile, the crocodile blood flowed into the water, and the smell of blood spread far and wide in the river, and then Cheng Fan saw the most ferocious and violent scene in the Amazon River!

Countless man-eating pomfrets followed the smell of blood emitted by crocodiles from the river, with light red bellies, big ugly eyes, and sharp teeth exposed in open mouths.

The man-eating pomfret pounced on the black caiman.

For a while, except for Cheng Fan, all the creatures in this water were frightened away, and it could be seen from the riverside, and schools of man-eating pomfret were tumbling in the river.

The smell of blood made the man-eating pomfrets very furious, like wolves, frantically biting at the black caiman, bite after bite, one after another, and constantly tearing off the flesh and blood from the place where the crocodile bleed, which was no less cruel than the most cruel punishment in ancient China - Ling Chi!

The black caiman rolled in pain in the water, opened its mouth wide, and bit a lot of man-eating pomfret to death, but this is just a drop in the bucket, there are too many man-eating pomfrets gathered here, and I am afraid that there are no less than tens of thousands.

Swift teeth like saws, the man-eating pomfret submerged the black caiman, and in a short time, the man-eating pomfret devoured the black caiman, leaving only a white crocodile skeleton that fell to the bottom of the river and sank under the mud of the river.

Perhaps many years later, archaeologists will come here and dig up a complete fossil of an ancient caiman.

After eating the crocodile, the cannibal pomfret that was berserk caused by blood had not calmed down, and attacked other creatures in the water, and a few of them saw Cheng Fan watching the play not far away, yo, brothers, there is a fat sheep here, everyone follow me! There is meat to eat!

Under the leadership of these man-eating pomfrets, tens of thousands of man-eating pomfrets rushed towards Cheng Fan......

The nuclear energy was released, forming a shining light cluster in the river, and between talking and laughing, the wolves in the water were wiped out.

After traveling in the Amazon basin for more than a month, the area deeper and deeper the jungle became more and more primitive, and along the way, he saw a lot of strange rainforest animals and plants, but Cheng Fan regretted that he did not see the aliens and pythons he imagined.

On this day, Cheng Fan was diving in the river, and suddenly, he raised his head, and he seemed to vaguely hear someone shouting for help.

“help me!help me!help……”

He listened carefully with his ears sideways, the sound seemed to come from the front, as if it was getting closer and closer, Cheng Fan thought for a while, swung his tail, and swam up from the water in the direction from which the sound came.

After swimming, Cheng Fan came to a confluence of rivers, where two rivers flowing from the jungle met and merged into a larger river, rolling and flowing.

Two days ago, there had been a torrential rainstorm that caused the river to swell and flood many parts of the forest, making the river very muddy.

Cheng Fan lurked in the murky water, revealing only a pair of eyes, disguised as a crocodile and quietly floating on the water, he saw that several primitive canoes came from the river that met in front of him, and crossed the confluence into another channel.

On each canoe, there are some topless natives wearing grass skirts, their faces covered in strange oil paint, some paddles, others holding spears, slapping their mouths and screaming on the canoe.

Cheng Fan heard the cry for help coming from a canoe, Cheng Fan stared at it, a white man dressed as an explorer was tied to the boat with his hands and feet, and the rest of the canoes were tied to live creatures such as cougars, jaguars, and wild boars.

"What are these natives going to do when they catch a white man?"

Cheng Fan touched his chin and watched the canoe gradually row away, Cheng Fan's eyes flashed, and he quietly followed.
