Chapter 005: Locusts and Anacondas

The fire roasted on the ant's nest and emitted thick white smoke that drove away the mosquitoes that were buzzing around the five people.

At this time, the team leader noticed that something was wrong and pulled the trouser leg of one of them.

"Ahh The others were startled and terrified.

I saw that there were 5 grasshoppers attached to the calf, and at this time they had sucked their stomachs full, and they were originally only the thickness of cotton swabs, but at this time they had become as big as half a palm. He pulled up the other trouser leg and saw four blood-soaked locusts hanging there.

"What is this!?" Everyone was disgusted when they saw this thing, and their whole bodies were numb.

The heart of the man who was found to have the locusts was pounding at this time, and he was very frightened, and he sat down on the ground and hurriedly reached out to pull out the locusts, but was stopped by the leader.

"Don't move! I got it. The leader stopped him, then pulled out a piece of wood from the fire that had burned red charcoal and placed it on the locust.

The locusts could not stand the heat, so they closed their mouths and fell to the ground, where they were burned to death, leaving behind a large pool of red blood.

The other locusts were like artillery, and the scalps of the people were numb.

The leader replied, "This is the locust, the vampire of the jungle, didn't I tell you to tie your trousers tightly?" Why not listen? ”

"Ahh Mine too! ”

"I have it too! Yes!! ”

The other two also pulled open their trouser legs, found the same thing, and were instantly paralyzed to the ground in fright. After the team leader killed all the locusts one by one, 20 minutes had passed.

I didn't eat, and I was looking for dry firewood and grass in the jungle for half an hour, and I just tossed for another 20 minutes, and the team leader could be said to be exhausted at this time.

"Take your nets and try to net some fish in the water and make a better breakfast." The team leader commanded the only fresh force with better physical strength at this time.

When they arrived, they prepared a toss fishing net, which brought them abundant food during these days of wild adventures. It can be said that it is a great tool for their survival.

When he saw a man pull out a fishing net from a backpack, Aoki knew the moment he had waited for had come. Aoki concentrated and stared at the man.

The man came to the river with the nets in his hand, combed them, and threw them into the stream. After a while, it was put away.

For the first time, a pile of dead branches and leaves was harvested, and there were no fish.

Aoki stared at the surface of the water, but did not see the water streaks of the anaconda swimming, probably silently observing somewhere, perhaps the flooded grass opposite, or hidden in the water at Aoki's feet.

The man patiently removed the dead branches and leaves from the nets one by one, then combed them again and threw them into the lake again.

After a while, the net was closed for the second time, but there was still no fish in the net, and the harvest was still dead branches and leaves.

Aoki stared carefully at the surface of the water, trying to find it.

The anaconda still hasn't appeared.

Unhurriedly, unhurriedly, the man repeatedly removes dead branches and leaves and recombs the nets. This time he didn't throw the net in place, but observed it and went up the river along the shore. Going 10 meters upstream, there is a small bay where the fish stay.

Throw the net, stay for a while, and close the net.

"Gollum! Grunt! Grunt! The sound of the water splashing sounded, and he was overjoyed, and the sound should have caught a fish. Malid put the net away, and sure enough, two fish of about half a pound were caught in the net. Since this net is made of special materials, it is particularly tough. If a fish like this wants to break free, it's impossible.

"Team leader, I've caught two fish!" He shouted in delight.

"Haha! Attaboy! Hurry up and bring it over and make a delicious fish soup for everyone to warm up. The team leader heard the laughter.

Others cheered, and nothing motivates people more than food.

"You're rejoicing too soon!" Aoki heard their cheers at this time, and he was immediately unhappy. It's a pity that he kept staring at the surface of the water and didn't see the anaconda appear.

The netter happily put away the net, knocked the two fish unconscious, and got up to carry them back to the camp.

"Bump!!"

A loud bang rang out from behind him, splashing and hurting his back.

Before he could fully react, a thigh-thick snake sprang up from behind him like lightning, encircling him with a thunderous force that could not hide his ears. The sun shone on the snake's scales, glowing with a cyan glow.

"Boom!!" The snake wrapped around the human body smashed into the water, causing waves to splash.

"Oh! No!! The leader saw the shocking scene and shouted angrily. Grabbing the machete at his waist, he hurried to the place where the accident had happened, staring at the stream.

"Come out, you brute! If you have the ability, come out! The leader brandished a machete and shouted angrily at the stream. It's a pity that at this time he didn't see a python, and he didn't see a person. I only saw the blood that kept tumbling, constantly diluted and diluted in the water.

The other three were so frightened by the horrific scene in front of them that they couldn't stand up, so they could only crawl backwards in fear, trying to escape from this damn place.

Aoki witnessed the whole process and was also shocked by the big anaconda. It is not an exaggeration to say that the big anaconda is big, it is about 17 meters long and should be 40cm in diameter, which is extremely amazing.

When he was a student, Aoki knew that the largest snake in the world was just over 14 meters. In 2006, a very rare snake with a length of 14.85 meters and a weight of 447 kilograms was exhibited in a small park in Indonesia. This is the longest and largest snake ever discovered in the past 100 years, and it is currently the largest snake in the world.

Now in Aoki's opinion, this so-called world's largest snake is simply weak compared to the big anaconda that Aoki sees now.

After hunting a piece of food, the anaconda sank into the water and never reappeared.

At this time, the team leader was not only angry but also regretful, blaming himself for letting him go out fishing alone. A living person died in front of him like this, and the team leader was full of remorse and self-blame.

At this time, the group was no longer in the mood to enjoy breakfast, so they took their baggage, ate some dry food, and hurried on the road to leave this dangerous place. Who knows if it will feel like it doesn't have enough food and run out.

However, is it possible to get out of the jungle when one person is almost disabled and two are weak? Back to human society?

After they left, the jungle was once again calm, but it was never back to what it used to be. Scattered trellises, burned turf, and chopped tree trunks, all of them show the trauma of the past.

In this way, another month passed peacefully.

In this month, Aoki has figured out some of the situation.

1. This is the territory of the big anaconda. Most animals establish their own territory and leave various markings to mark them. The occupied land is used as a breeding ground, preventing other animals from invading and driving the invaders out to defend the territory. This explains why no other large animals have been seen in recent months.

Second, here, the rainfall is abundant, the temperature is high, the climate is sultry, the trees are lush, and the species are abundant, all of which prove that this is a tropical rainforest. It's just that Aoki can't be sure where this is. Amazon jungle? Congo Basin? Malaya? Indochina? Sumatra? These require further confirmation.

It is worth mentioning that the recovery in the jungle is indeed very fast. After a month's time, the originally cut down tree has quickly grown branches and buds, re-proclaiming new life. And those that do not regrow new shoots are quickly squeezed into space by the trees chasing up next to them.

The cedar tree next to Aoki also began to grow a new trunk from the lower layer and regained its vitality. It's just that the original nest of ants has become a pile of manure to feed the jungle.

During this month, Aoki did not fall in the slightest, by this time he had grown to a height of 50 cm, and the roots had reached a depth of 150 cm. The original injuries have also begun to be repaired gradually.
