When it was dawn, everyone had not slept all night, and although they were all tired, no one wanted to delay here a little longer.

The six of them sorted out the supplies together, repacked all the necessities, and then carried them on their backs, and probably threw down more than half of the food they had brought in, but for the sake of safety, they hung the food on the high branches, and in case it was not as Wang Lianba said, they still had to come back to look for food.

When everything was ready, they went back to the pond, thinking of going to see the bear that had been killed last night, and the human corpses by the pond, although it was by no means a pleasant thing, but they had to do it, after all, if they wanted to continue from here, they had to collect more clues, because they had to fully understand and guess what the opponent they might encounter was.

In the early morning, the sun shone on the edge of the pond, but the six people by the pond all stood in place in a daze, motionless.

At this moment, they were all suddenly stunned, not because they saw anything, but because they saw nothing.

The earth bear that was shot by Da Lao Hei last night has disappeared, and the human corpses that were originally distributed on the ground are now gone.

Gao Chao looked at the pond in front of him, it was peaceful, the sun was shining on the water, causing slight ripples, the thick trees on the edge of the pond, the wet and muddy earth, all this was really beautiful, and it was impossible to believe what happened here last night.

It took a long time for Jiang Ji to find the place where the earth bear carcass was located last night, and he crouched down and carefully examined the marks left on the ground.

The fat man didn't want to recall those situations anymore, but he was worried, and said to himself: "What a evil, such a big earth bear is gone if it says no, and those corpses, why are they all gone all at once?" This...... There's really no big dark sky in this place, right? ”

In order to comfort the fat man, Gao Chao said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, those are just legends, I think that the earth bear and the fragments of human corpses are likely to have been eaten by some animals that inhabit here." ”

Wang Lianba nodded on the side and said: "Master Gao, that's right, in the Gaoligong Mountain, between the tropical rainforest and the mountain woodland, there lives a lizard, called the Yunnan-Burma monitor lizard, the locals call it the black-mouthed dragon, it is very large, it is said that some can catch up with the size of a small truck, and they specialize in feeding on carrion......

The fat man pouted when he heard this: "Eighth master, can you exaggerate a little more?" It's the size of a pickup truck, so what the are you doing eating carrion? Wouldn't it be over if you go directly into the village to catch cattle? ”

Gao Chao ignored the fat man and said: "I haven't heard of the Yunnan-Burmese monitor lizard, but I have heard of the Komodo dragon, that kind of lizard is indeed very large, some can grow to more than 4 meters long, and it is almost the same as a small truck." ”

Only then did the fat man exclaim again: "My grass, is there really such a thing?" So does it eat people? ”

Gao Chao said: "I don't know if it eats people or not, but the Komodo dragon has a record of attacking humans, and that kind of lizard is a cold-blooded animal, as long as it can eat, it will eat it, even its own kind, so if there are any Yunnan-Burmese monitor lizards in this place, I think we should be careful." ”

The fat man was shocked: "It's evil, it can't be around here, right?" I've been afraid of that kind of crawling stuff since I was a kid......"

Wang Lianba smiled on the side: "Fat man, don't worry, it is said that the Yunnan-Burmese monitor lizard is still a rare animal, and it is rarely seen, even if it is met by us, it is also unlucky, but don't forget that we have a gun, Da Lao Hei has been a special soldier, where to fight, killing a lizard or something is not a problem." ”

Gao Chao squinted at Wang Lianba and said: "In this big mountain, it's better not to use guns, in case the border guards are alarmed, if they come over, we can't eat and walk around." ”

Wang Lianbayi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Master Gao, where we are now, even the border guards will not come, this is already a no-man's land, even the drug transporters in the Golden Triangle in the early years did not dare to come in from here." ”

The fat man said on the side: "Yes, you are so awesome, no one dares to come in, but you rush in, and you have to go inside, this time you are really killed!" ”

The fat man scolded and scolded, Wang Lianba consciously said too much, smiled awkwardly, and stopped talking.

Gao Chao sighed helplessly, and said in his heart that this time he came to find the ancient city of Yinshan, it was completely for money, interests, and he deserved to be unlucky, and now the future is uncertain, so he has to be more careful, and rush up.

Feeling depressed, Gao Chao didn't want to think about it anymore, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, so he walked towards Jiang Ji not far ahead.

At this moment, Jiang Ji had already stood up from the ground and was following something to the side.

Gao Chao caught up with Jiang Ji and said, "How is it?" What was found? ”

Jiang Ji stopped, his face was a little ugly, and said, "I don't know...... The earth bear really wants to run......"

Jiang Ji's Mandarin is not good, and he always can't express the meaning clearly, so Gao Chao doesn't understand much at the moment.

At this time, Lao Lai also came over and asked two questions in Tibetan, Jiang Ji also answered him in Tibetan, and Wang Lianba was also on the side, and when he heard the conversation between the two people, their faces suddenly became not very good-looking.

When Gao Chao saw this, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Lai, what's the situation?" ”

Lao Lai didn't squeak, but glanced at Wang Lianba, Wang Lianba nodded helplessly, and Lao Lai sighed and said: "Master, Jiang Ji said that the earth bear ran away by himself." ”

"What?" Gao Chao was stunned and said, "You ran away by yourself?" This is impossible, Jiang Ji was also there yesterday, and the four of us saw it, the gun holes on the earth bear were very large, and they were all hit at the critical point, and they were out of breath at that time, how could they run away by themselves? ”

The fat man also said on the side: "Yes, I can see it clearly, isn't Da Lao Hei from the special forces?" Wherever you fight, can you still keep your mouth alive? ”

As he spoke, the fat man wanted to ask Da Lao Hei to talk to him, but when he looked around, he realized that Da Lao Hei was not by their side.

"Hey, where's the big old black?" The fat man asked.

Wang Lianba said: "He went inside, saying that he would go along the pond to see the situation, and there was no need to worry about him." ”

Gao Chao ignored them and said to Jiang Ji: "Jiang Ji, how did you find out that the earth bear ran away on its own?" ”

Jiang Ji pointed to the ground and said, "Look, there are some footprints here......"

Jiang Ji pointed out some traces on the ground to Gao Chao, and Gao Chao squatted down, only to find that there were indeed some very inconspicuous pits on the ground, but Jiang Ji scratched them twice with his hand, and those pits were much clearer, and it was easy to see that they were indeed footprints left by the earth bear.

Gao Chao looked at it and said, "But these footprints may have been left by the earth bear before, how can you be sure that they were left when it left?" ”

Jiang Ji tried his best to say in Mandarin: "Footprints have a direction, you see, and, next to the footprints, there are these ......"

Jiang Ji pointed to Gao Chao with his hand, and next to the string of footprints, there was something black.

Gao Chao looked at it, those black things, like some kind of slime, but on the muddy ground by the pond, they looked particularly inconspicuous, if Jiang Ji hadn't pointed out to him, he would definitely think that it was muddy water.

However, Gao Chao looked at those things, but he didn't know why, so he had to ask, "Jiang Ji, what are these things?" ”

Jiang Ji said: "The blood of the earth bear." ”

"Blood?" Gao Chao said: "How can blood be black? ”

Jiang Ji looked at Gao Chao, his face was a little ugly, and said, "Maybe I'm sick, right...... It's Gagongda......"

Gao Chao couldn't understand it anymore, and hurriedly said to the old man behind him: "Hurry up and translate, Ga Gongda, what do you mean?" ”

Lao Lai and Wang Lianba were talking about something, but at this moment, when Gao Chao mentioned "Ga Gongda", Lao Lai and Wang Lianba both looked at each other, and the two of them were stunned at the same time.

"What? Ga...... Ga Gongda? "Lao Lai can't speak.

Wang Lianba also hurriedly ran over and said, "Master, are you ...... What did you find? ”

Everyone gathered around at once, and Gao Chao pointed to the black slime on the ground and said: "Jiang Ji said that this is the blood of the earth bear, I asked him how it could be black, Jiang Ji told me that the earth bear is sick, it is Ga Gongda." ”

I don't know when, Lao Lai broke out in a cold sweat, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said something to Jiang Ji in Tibetan.

Jiang Ji looked very helpless, his face was pale, and Lao Lai was also trembling.

Seeing them like this, the fat man said anxiously: "Lai, what the hell is wrong?" What does Ga Gong Da mean? ”

Lao Lai wiped his sweat again, and then said: "Ga Gongda, it is the local dialect, we call it ...... It's called Black Blood Fever ......"
