Chapter 37: Temptation of Terror

According to the Arkansas Geological Exploration Company's description of the bounty mission, three days ago, an armed exploration team of the company risked their lives to go deep into the hinterland of the 'Blue Whale Plane', after obtaining a large number of precious geological specimens, unfortunately crashed in extreme weather when returning from a stealth transport plane, killing all passengers and crew, and no one survived.

Unfortunately, the personnel of the large group companies who carry out the ectopic mission routinely use all the equipment of the highest quality, including the storage boxes for the transport of the most rare geological specimens.

These storage boxes are made of sturdy materials, have the potential to withstand air crash explosions, and have a locating function to prevent loss, hence the release of this bounty mission.

And at this moment, those gray metal boxes that could get 12,000 meters yuan if they found one were hanging on vines five or six meters high above Zhang Longchu's head.

After a night of trekking and fierce fighting, Zhang Longchu, who had gradually adapted to the adventurous life, did not hesitate at all after discovering the target, and directly pounced, jumped high on the spot, and turned into beast claws with two hands in mid-air with extremely agile waves, and then cut the vines holding the metal box into two, and the box fell to the woodland with his body.

The metal box containing the geological specimens was about a foot square, and the label on the shell indicated the approximate location of the discovery in English, which should have some weight from the muffled sound it emitted after it landed.

Zhang Longchu took a few glances at the metal box with his front paws, and saw that there was nothing special, so he carefully changed back into a human form, turned off the signal transmitter of the box with the general password given by the Arkansas Geological Exploration Company, and used his fingerprints to open the shell of the mechanical dog squatting next to him, and struggled to lift the metal box and put it in.

The storage space of the mechanical dog is about one square meter, which can be stacked into 3 layers and put 27 of these metal boxes, but because there is already a strange backpack inside, it is actually full of more than a dozen.

But even so, compared to those ordinary mercenaries who need to use bionic mechanical tools to carry a large amount of ammunition supplies in order to carry out heterotopic exploration, Zhang Longchu's efficiency in performing bounty tasks is still much higher, and he can't help but think in amazement: "12,000 meters is considered to be in hand, one 12,000, I can transport about 18 boxes back at a time, which is 216,000 meters of yuan!"

Wow, this xenoplane adventure is dangerous, but it's really quick to make money! ”

After stepping into the jungle of the different planes, it was the first time that he felt a trace of joy and excitement, and after Zhang Longchu turned off the 'big belly' of the mechanical dog, he maintained a squatting posture and turned into a giant wolf again, walking towards another flickering red dot in the translucent map of his right eye.

Since the metal box carrying the specimen was scattered in the jungle because of the crash of the transport plane, the distribution area was naturally not too wide, and after finding the first one, it only took ten minutes for him to find the second box at the foot of a large tree more than ten meters high.

Just one, two, three... After finding more than a dozen metal boxes in a row, Zhang Longchu's excitement and excitement of making a lot of money slowly dissipated, and the tired feeling brought by the hard trek of hundreds of kilometers in the jungle hit his heart, and he couldn't help but open his bloody mouth and yawn, and the idea of camping and resting rose.

It stands to reason that if he can always turn into a giant wolf, Zhang Longchu only needs to find an open area in the woodland and lie down, let the heroic warriors who don't need sleep need to be guarded by his side, and then he can sleep peacefully.

Unfortunately, although he was transformed into a wolf for the first time in his sleep, he could no longer maintain his transformation after losing consciousness, so the place to rest must be carefully considered to ensure safety.

So according to the requirements of a single camping in the heterotopic jungle region that he learned from the Internet, Zhang Longchu began to step on rotten wood and leaves to find an area close to a river or water source.

What he didn't expect was that he had just heard the sound of turbulent water, and suddenly he heard a whistling wind blowing overhead, and he looked up in astonishment, and found that it was an oval flying machine as huge as a football field, which fell diagonally and rushed into the jungle, bringing a hurricane.

The aircraft seemed to have a chameleon-like color-mimicry function, sometimes revealing a huge fuselage;

Sometimes it blends in with the surrounding jungle, almost indistinguishable, until rows of red and blue lights flash at its bottom, and flames light light light on both sides, that Zhang Longchu can fully see the trajectory of its movement, and watch it glide towards the southwest after crashing into the canopy of countless giant trees.

"Another stealth plane that is about to crash, may God bless the poor people in the cabin..."Looking at the distant firelight, Zhang Longchu thought in his heart, and was about to continue to move in the direction of the water, when suddenly a spiritual light broke into his mind, the crash heralded disaster, disaster means death, and death will bring the growth of the world of strange things... The body couldn't help but freeze.

The human heart is unpredictable, sometimes it is as solid as a rock, and sometimes it turns with the wind like a cattail.

A few hours ago, when he guessed that he was expanding the world of strange things by devouring other people's souls, Zhang Longchu once thought that doing so was as evil as the devil, but now unconsciously, he had been quietly moved by the souls of those killed and injured in the upcoming air crash.

Standing in place and looking at the river hidden in the dense forest in the distance, and looking at the direction in which the aircraft disappeared, Zhang Longchu hesitated and thought: "If I deliberately kill some innocent people, and then devour their souls to dispel the black fog of the strange world, it is of course an evil and cruel crime that cannot be forgiven, but now it is a plane crash, I just happened to encounter it."

Besides, isn't the reincarnation of the soul a fantasy only in mythological stories, maybe after death, the soul will be like a corpse after a while, and disappear into the heavens and the earth, and I swallow them completely for waste use.

Yes, yes, it's just recycling...", after finding an excuse for his terrible behavior, he finally walked in the direction of the plane crashing with relief.

The canopy branches that the aircraft had just grazed when it was out of control and flew low were scattered on the ground, forming a clear avenue, and only by following this trace tracking would inevitably find the place where it crashed, so Zhang Longchu, who had already deeply realized the danger of the heterotopic plane, was not impatient, and he chased slowly.

A few minutes later, just when he felt that there was a clear fire in the distance, and he thought that he might soon have something to gain, suddenly, a deafening loud bang accompanied by a shaking of the mountains, and the shock wave that uprooted countless giant trees came rapidly from far and near, shaking his eardrums to the ground, and he could not hear any sound for a while;

The body was also directly lifted into the air by the impact of the shock wave, and after falling to the ground, the limbs lost sensation for a while.

After a full thirty or forty seconds, Zhang Longchu gradually recovered from this sudden heavy blow, gritting his teeth with hatred for his carelessness, and thinking in annoyance, "I haven't experienced a plane crash, haven't you seen a crater yet!"

Isn't it just a small meteorite when a flying machine ten times larger than an ordinary airliner falls, even if it falls a little slower, it will inevitably cause great damage.

I saw three Heroic Warriors, one of whom obviously landed on the ground first with his neck, his neck twisted strangely, and his body had begun to slowly weather;

A body with an arched body resting on a thick branch two or three meters above the ground, the dorsal vertebrae should have been completely shattered, and the head twitched slightly, and then completely lost signs of life;

Only the last one was lucky, as if he hadn't been seriously injured, and had slowly climbed up from the woodland with the mechanical dog.

Seeing the death of two Heroic Spirit Warriors, Zhang Longchu's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, but no matter how bad the situation is, the adventure must continue, just as he sighed, cheered up, and wanted to continue to move towards the place where the fire was ignited, suddenly a huge beast head suddenly descended from mid-air, biting the last surviving Heroic Spirit Warrior, sucking hard, and swallowing into his stomach.

After the terrifying scene in front of him made Zhang Longchu tremble, he looked into the air and saw a creature with a head and tail length of about twenty meters, thick enough to be embraced by two people, and its whole body was covered with black prismatic scales the size of a fist, looking like a giant snake, with its tail wrapped around a big tree that was skewed by the shock, and looked at him in horror.

People are born with different temperaments, and their choices when they are in the same situation will be very different, for example, in the midst of extreme horror and sadness, some people will become frightened, decadent, and resigned to fate;

Some people will choose to avoid as much as possible, and hide if they can;

Some people will rise to the challenge and fight to the death at the cost of their lives, but Zhang Longchu undoubtedly belongs to the last one, after the initial fear, looking at the squirming belly of the giant snake, a wave of anger hit his heart, making his eyes become cold.

After a few more seconds of confrontation, Zhang Longchu, who had a thousand thoughts in his mind, finally recalled that NatGeoWild (National Geographic Wild Channel) had said in the program, "Snakes have no limbs, and they rely on the muscles of the head, abdomen, and tail to contract when they move, so their movements will become extremely slow after eating", and his body tensed violently, and suddenly jumped to the right.

As he flew up, the huge body of the giant snake-like monster suddenly elongated, opened its big mouth like a water tank, and its head poked out and bit as if it were shooting a sharp arrow, and it was only two or three inches away from holding Zhang Longchu in his mouth.

And after narrowly escaping, Zhang Longchu's body made an emergency stop after landing on the ground, suddenly turned around, jumped high, and rushed towards the shrunken head of the giant snake.
