Three-Zero-Three Man in the Canopy 2
readx;? Climbing trees wasn't hard for Ian, and he needed it to sneak into someone's house while he was in Black Rock. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And the trees in the dense forest are much stronger than the trees in Black Rock City, and it is easy to climb the branches and go up. At the same time, the branches of the adjacent trees in the dense forest are intertwined, and it is easy to climb from one tree to another.
After an easy climb up the tree, Ian and Green reached the same height. Only then did he realize that there was a small space in the canopy, slightly sunken, in the shape of a bowl, with dirty stagnant water in it, and in addition to that, there was a twisted white bone.
The bones clearly belonged to humans, and there were some rotten fabrics soaked in the stagnant water, presumably the clothes that the man was wearing in front of him. This corpse has been soaked for a long, long time, so long that it doesn't even smell like a corpse, so Ian and the others who are just below haven't noticed it.
"How did you find out?" asked Ian.
Green smiled weirdly, "I heard him, I heard him calling my name." ”
Even knowing that Green was watching the joke, Ian couldn't help but shudder. Because at the end of the branch in Green's hand, there is still the head of this white bone. The bones were facing Ian, and the hollow eye sockets looked eerie.
So Ian glared at Green fiercely.
"Well, I just wanted to come and see it at first. Green shrugged, "I didn't know it was there, I just wanted to get some fresh air, you know, I just woke up." ”
Ian didn't pay any more attention to Green, but lowered his head and looked at the bone again, trying to get some information out of it. For example, its identity, its cause of death, etc., but it was only soon that Ian discovered that he was not really good at this work, especially when dealing with a white skeleton that had been dead for an unknown number of years.
Ian could only guess that this Bone Eight was from the same team six years ago. But I don't know for sure, because in Nicole's father's notes, there were no dead people on the first day they came.
That's a bit of a tangle. Because Nicole's team was the only hunter team to enter the Mississippi Jungle, but that hunter team didn't die on the first day. So who is this man? a lone hunter or a trader?
Ian couldn't guess, thinking to himself that maybe all the information about this skeleton was soaked in this stagnant water.
"This man died in pain. ”
Just when Ian was about to give up, Green suddenly said such a sentence, Ian was stunned, and looked at him puzzled: "Why?"
"Nonsense, look at his bones, they're all broken. "The limbs, and the neck, are broken, or do you think I'm bored and come up and get his head off?" ”
"Could it be that the bubble broke?" Ian asked, "after all, I've been soaked in water for so long." ”
"I've never heard of bones breaking. Green rolled his eyes violently, Ian also felt that his problem was a bit stupid, but he really couldn't imagine what it would be like for a person's bones to be broken one by one, and no wonder Green said that this person was in pain when he died.
"Can you guess how he died?" asked Ian.
"How is this possible, you are who I am. Green shook his head, "After all, he's been dead for so long, and you don't know if his bones were broken before or after death." ”
"Of course before death, who will break its bones after death? No animal has a habit of breaking bones. ”
"Then do you think humans are animals?"
Ian was stunned, not understanding why Green would ask such a question.
"You should know that I spent a few days in prison in Port Sofia. Green spat into the stagnant water as if he remembered something bad, "I saw a very perverted guy, hey, don't look at me like that, I'm just killing people, but I don't torture corpses." Not only does that person kill people, but he also breaks all the bones of the deceased after his death. ”
Ian felt a chill hit his heart, "Why did he do this?"
"You ask me, how do I know. But as far as I know, there are some people who have a habit of breaking bones, for example, you. ”
Green pointed to Ian's nose, and Ian almost jumped up with excitement, "When did I have this perverted habit?"
"Don't worry, I'm not done yet. "Of course you wouldn't do this to people, but would you do it to your prey?" As far as I know, hunters take things from their prey as trophies, such as bones, such as furs, and so on. ”
Ian's face changed, and Green continued, "Oh, do you remember Tim? Isn't his dad a butcher? ”
Ian took a deep breath, he understood what Green meant. Green wasn't trying to target the hunter or the butcher, he meant that the one who could do something like bone crushing would probably end up being someone else, a human.
"You suspect he was killed by humans?" Ian asked, pointing to the bones underwater.
"Who knows?" Green shrugged again, he seemed to fall in love with the action, "you're a hunter, you can think of any animal that would crush all the bones of a human when it kills, and then bring it to this again." ”
Ian thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem like he really was, at least he didn't think of it.
While Ian and Green were discussing, everyone below woke up leisurely, including Nicole, who was the last to sleep. Seeing that Nicole had woken up, Ian suddenly thought that she seemed to have the last say in this regard, so he climbed down from under the tree and told the others about the above.
When everyone learned that there was a white skeleton on it, they all showed surprised expressions.
"Nicole, go up and have a look. Ian said, "Let's see if I can tell what he's dead to." ”
Nicole nodded, and was about to go up the tree when Colby suddenly spoke: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the python who killed him." ”
Boa?
Ian froze.
"That's right, python, the kind you met last night. Colby glanced at Harry, who was still unconscious, and sighed softly, "Actually, you should also think that the most terrifying creature in this dense forest is probably the snake." And what you just said, the bones of the deceased are all broken, and some places are simply broken, and that can only be the style of the python. ”
After saying so many words in one breath, Colby was a little tired, paused, and drank a sip of water before continuing: "Listen to you, yesterday's python swallowed Harry directly, in fact, this is very unusual, generally pythons will use their bodies to hang their prey alive, and then slowly swallow the prey to let the stomach acid digest." Moreover, only a python can carry its prey to such a high canopy. ”
Anaconda, again anaconda.
The thought of such a creature of strength and cunning gave Ian a headache. They had only entered the jungle on their first day, and they were almost taken away by a python, so there was at least a week left before they crossed the Mississippi jungle. And what are they supposed to do these days?
What to do with this coming, python disaster?
