Chapter 18: Step by Step Crisis (5)
PS: Ask for praise, ask for evaluation.
After listening to Qin Tai and communicating with them for a while, Qin Tai walked up to us and told us about the adventures of the French scientific expedition team. The French expedition team consisted of 17 people, including four women. The leader of the team was the big man just now, everyone called him Kent, and standing next to him was his sister Alice. They also started from the source of Peru, and after a lot of hardships, they entered here by mistake. After a series of blows by guerrillas, drug dealers and cannibals, now there are only eight of them left, and two of them are girls.
I heard that they also encountered cannibals, and that four people were eaten by the cannibals. There is nothing more painful than watching your companions being cut into pieces of meat by cannibals and then cooking them straight to the barbecue. And people can't die at once, and listening to their wails and screams is unbearable. At this time, they are not worried about the life and death of their classmates, the great fear has made them lose the ability to think. We are secretly glad that although some people have died, they are not so cruel and horrible.
Billy smiled and said, "You are not meeting cannibals, they are just a branch of the indigenous Kukkel tribe, they also kill people, just to scare people." Cooked human flesh is fed to dogs, and it is not eaten by humans at all. Do you think it's really cannibals? If it's a cannibal, do you still have a life? ”
Lu Liang pointed to the French scientific expedition team unconvinced and said, "Aren't they also fine?" How can it be like you say. ”
Qin Tai hurriedly said, "Lu Liang, what he said is true. The reason why the French expedition team was able to escape was because they thought they were lucky. They were locked up in a small cabin, and they escaped by encountering the war between the headhunters and the cannibals. ”
"Headhunters?" I said, "I've heard that headhunters have a special ability. It can make a person's head the size of a fist, and it can still keep the same appearance. I heard that they use these as decorations. Some even wore them as necklaces and hung them around their necks. Think of it as jewelry. Billy, is that so? ”
Billy nodded and said, "It's true, they have a magic potion, after soaking the human head in it, add fire and steam underneath, extinguish the fire after about two hours, slowly wait for the potion to cool down, open the steamer, and the human head will not only become smaller." And the muscles have also become stronger, and they can be stored for a hundred years without rotting. It's just that this kind of potion is only available to headhunters, and others can't get it, and they don't know the prescription. I heard that they also passed on by word of mouth, and did not leave a prescription. ”
I pointed to the French expedition team and asked, "Qin Tai, what should they do?" Follow us or go on your own? Qin Tai went over and asked them, and came back and said, "Boss, they want to follow us." Do you allow it? "I looked at Gao Yanan, after all, she was the captain. Gao Yanan nodded and said, "Professor Shui, you decide." In the future, you will be the captain, I think there are many things that I am really inferior to you. Especially after coming here lately. I felt a little overwhelmed, and everything was beyond my imagination. By now I have to admit the importance of experience. So, it's better for you to make the final decision. Error-free. ”
I nodded and said, "In that case." Let's go together. Qin Tai hurriedly translated this sentence, and the people of the French scientific expedition team nodded in agreement. Kent hurriedly thanked him. He spoke English and we all understood it. We hurriedly replied. I nodded at Qin Tai, Qin Tai smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's that they don't say it themselves, and it's not that I don't let them say it." ”
Since they can speak English, we don't need Qin Tai to translate. What is even more unexpected is that Alice can speak Chinese, which surprised us a lot. It turned out that he had studied at a Confucius Institute in Paris for two years, majoring in English and Chinese. Although he is not very fluent, he is very happy. After all, not everyone can speak English.
We looked back at the opposite bank, and the flaming red ants stretched as far as the eye could see, and the trees were full of them, and at a glance, it looked like a forest fire was burning. Many ants jumped on the branches and leaves of the flowing trees in the river, trying to cross the river by relying on them, but the water of the river was so strong that the branches covered with ants were washed away in a blink of an eye.
Qin Tai sighed and said, "These ants are really not giving up, are we so attractive?" It's just like that, and it's good to have this little river, otherwise we would really be a pile of dry bones. At this time, the ants, which had been golden red, rushed to the front, waved their tentacles a few times, and the ants jumped into the water like crazy, and suddenly the river was like red ink, bright red. and as if red with blood.
With a 'straight snap', a large tree fell, and the branches were directly connected to this side. I hurriedly threw a piece of explosives on it. There were a lot of big trees shaking, Gao Yanan threw a grenade at the golden-red ant, and suddenly the ant flew sideways, and after the smoke disappeared, we found that the golden-red ant was still commanding as if it was fine.
"Let's go." I hurriedly shouted, "Get out of here." They all ran together and plunged into the woods. The grove was very small, and it took only half an hour to reach the opposite side, and as soon as they came out of the grove, everyone was stunned. I gasped,, how could it be these things?
In front of him, there were fiery red flowers, each of which was more than three meters tall, and the huge flowers wanted to be pocketed one by one, the dark green leaves were larger than the leaves of the water lilies, and the stamens were like ropes swinging in the wind outside the flowers. Gao Yanan said with difficulty: "Yes...... Overlord flower. Qin Tai also smiled bitterly and said, "Damn, how can it be this kind of thing." Zhang Qiang blinked her eyes and said curiously: "It turns out that this is the cannibal overlord flower, so beautiful." Quick, take a picture, it's rare to see such a beautiful flower, and it's a big picture. ”
Qin Tai looked at Billy and said, "Now do you know why none of your people went back, this is the answer." Billy said with trepidation: "I have always lived on the brink of death, and now I know how lucky I am." ”
Wang Zongjun, who was standing in front, exclaimed, and his body involuntarily slid towards the overlord figure. I don't know when, the vines have come to our feet. The screams kept ringing out, and Leng Feng also fell down in the screams, and his body also slid towards the overlord figure. I hurriedly pounced, drew my saber and slashed a few times, and finally rescued Leng Feng. At this time, I felt that my ankle was tight, and before I could react, I had fallen to the ground. The body also slid involuntarily. The speed is too fast, and the body can't adjust it at all, so the saber in his hand is waving, but he can't cut the vines at all.
In an instant, I reached under the flowers, and the stamens stretched out and rolled towards my body, and I hurriedly swung my saber to cut at the stamens, and a fishy liquid dripped onto my face, and the pain immediately penetrated into the bone marrow, and my body trembled involuntarily. I endured the pain and cut off the stamen vines, and hurriedly ran towards Lu Liang, this kid was already unconscious, and the flowers were devoured. Before I could get closer, a few vines were already entwined, and I was in danger again. Watching Lu Liang being dragged into the flowers by the overlord flower little by little, I suddenly felt as if my whole body had been pulled out of my bones, and I suddenly couldn't lift my strength.
At this time, I knew very well what would happen next, but I just felt peaceful and comfortable in my heart, and a feeling of drowsiness was irresistible. A pain hit me, and the burning sensation suddenly woke me up. When I opened my eyes, Gao Yanan was looking at me with a smile. She held a torch in her hand, and the stamen vines of the cannibal overlord flower coiled around her, but she didn't dare to enter the range of the torch. I looked back and saw that Lu Liang had been rescued, but he was still in a coma.
This time, it is our side that is involved in danger by the cannibal overlord flower. Qin Tai and others were behind us, and the French scientific expedition team followed behind. Thankfully, we came out with torches this time, otherwise we would have really been finished. The juice of the cannibal overlord flower has a strong anesthetic effect, which is also the key to many people not being able to escape. Yu Qian came over to give us some medicine on the injured place, and Li Meiting was taking care of Lu Liang, quietly waiting for Lu Liang to wake up.
Then I heard Alice say, "Those ants are coming." ”
"Let's go," Gao Yanan ordered, "We'll be safe through the cannibal overlord flower." Hurry up. I looked up and found that Qin Tai and the French expedition team all had torches in their hands, I looked at Gao Yanan, and she nodded at me. A torch for two people is enough. I know each of us has at least one spare one in our backpack. I don't think I have taken out the three in my backpack yet.
Waving the torch and walking among the cannibal overlord flowers, the excitement is very comfortable, not that someone deliberately burns the cannibal overlord flowers, the overlord flowers will immediately curl up, and the flowers will close immediately. The fiery red ant chased after the man-eating flower and stopped, not moving forward. We are finally relieved that we don't have to worry about it anymore.
It took about half an hour to walk out of the range of the piranha. We extinguished the torches, but the torch heads were specially made, and each one could burn for about an hour and a half. Gao Yanan said softly: "These torch heads are specially made, so don't throw them away." These torch heads will burn for at least an hour, so you need to put them away. We won't take it back, and maybe we'll use it again, so I'll give it to you. But the quantity is limited, you still have to save a little, and if you use it, you won't have it. When the people heard this, they hurriedly put away the torches carefully.
The French expedition team said gratefully: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, we would have seen God now." Thank God for allowing us to meet you. Thank you. ”
Gao Yanan shook his head and said, "Don't be busy thanking you first, I still have something to ask you." (To be continued......)
