Chapter Ninety-Seven: Danger in the Shadows

"Wow, it's delicious, where did you learn to cook?" Xiao Hei gulped the mac and cheese in front of him, and couldn't stop praising it.

Ben smiled and gave Lisa a copy and explained with a smile, "This is what I learned in Sriland. ”

"What are you doing there?"

"MSF, that's my usual job."

"Is it dangerous to pick flowers? The team actually had to bring such a professional doctor. ”

"Nope. It's just that the insurance company requires a doctor to accompany you. ”

"You just treat me like a mascot insurance treaty!"

Ben smiled and made a joke and raised an eyebrow at Susan across from him. Take a sip of beer and enjoy a dinner of your own making. Susan replied absentmindedly, lingering on Lisa's words.

The hard drive Holden brought back was damaged by water and only recovered a small amount of useless information. When he was selling the blood orchid pond water, he told about what happened to them and mentioned Ye Guangji's possible size, after all, he had only seen the tip of the tail, but he had never seen its real size.

However, because they had hunted a few giant pythons, the people of Galen Technology subconsciously thought that the snake god was just a big python, and they didn't bother to record the files. With the passage of time, no one will pay attention to the inconspicuous records.

A dark shadow flashed from under the table, and a fluffy and delicate round head poked its head out from under the table. Pop out the pink tongue, and the furry monkey hands want to pick up the banana. Xiao Tie belongs to the species of macaques, and there are little cleverness who like fruits very much.

"Hey! You've had dinner, go away. ”

Johnson stood up and looked at Tie seriously. Reaching out and pulling the fruit plate inward, a sense of oppression forced Xiao Tie back. When he was about to sit down, Xiao Tie stretched out his hand and waved it again.

"Hey! What do I say? ”

Xiao Tie ran away unwillingly, and his dexterous body ran down the stairs and pipes to the top of the ship. Not long after the ship passed by the fruitful mango tree, it reached out and grabbed a mango that was not much smaller than it, and its body was carried away from the boat.

The ship was moving at full speed, and by the time it reacted, it was over, and the ship had already sailed over. Holding the tempting sweet mango, it ran ashore to chase the boat, and its short legs and heavy loads were lost.

It is a cheerful temperament, and if it can't catch up, it won't chase, sitting on the rocks and enjoying the big mango. The rainforest is not a safe place, it has been a lot of life in the rainforest for more than ten years, but what has not changed is the hegemony, which still belongs to those terrifying giant snakes.

Whenever the rain reaches the monsoon when the rain is heavy enough, the water from the Blood Orchid Pool will overflow from the cave and flow into the outside world, allowing the python to break through the racial limit. The few giant snakes killed by the documentary team were only a few insignificant.

Surviving on the periphery where prey is scarce is itself the weakest of snakes. They died just to make room, and soon new serpents took over their territory.

Since Ye Guangji's cultivation has been successful, the cave where he is located has become a blessed land. The distribution of snakes has changed, radiating from the center of the mountain to the outside world, and the giant snakes encountered in the center become larger and more dangerous as they move towards the center.

Monkeys are the main food of the peripheral snakes, and it wasn't long before a giant python with thick thighs sniffed its scent. The hissing of the hyacinth and the breath of its predators frightened it, and it threw away the uneaten fruit and fled frantically into the distance.

Xiao Tie ran to exhaustion, hiding in a collapsed hollow tree trunk, covering his ears and trembling like a bell and blindfolding himself. Just because it can't see the python doesn't mean it can't find him.

After Xiao Tie found out that hiding was fruitless, he ran out of the tree tube where he was hiding. Take advantage of the monkeys and climb the treetops to jump at the tops.

Monty pythons can also climb trees, but the load-bearing body becomes a drag, and no monkey's light body can leap between the treetops, and can only feel the prey running away with its mouth.

"What's that?"

"What's that?"

The pre-death wails of animals can be heard in the rainforest, which scares those who enter the pristine rainforest for the first time.

"Animals have been eaten."

Johnson replied lightly, he was used to such scenes, and he didn't care about taking a sip of beer. They came with a lot of beer to quench their thirst as drinking water, and the river water is not clean during the rainy season.

"Eaten by what?"

"This is the rainforest, and everything is a hunter and a hunter."

After a night without words, everyone was very unaccustomed to living, and most of them had insomnia. The next day was a bit foggy, which didn't interfere with the view and added an ethereal beauty to the rainforest.

"Little Iron! Xiao Tie has eaten! ”

Johnson holds a tray of fruit and looks around the ship for a trace of Iron.

"Have you seen Xiao Tie?"

"I haven't seen it since last night. To six. ”

Bell replied that he was playing cards with Ben and Blackie. He had given up on the pursuit of phone calls with erratic signals, even if Galen Technology Company was yellow, as long as they could bring the Blood Orchid back, the company would be reborn for the better.

"Where have you been, Tie?" Johnson didn't give up and climbed the stairs to continue the search.

"If we want the Authority to approve it, we're going to pass it in a month. Feed? Damn it. ”

Lisa hadn't given up yet, wandering around the deck, remotely controlling the company's affairs.

"I can't hear you! Can you hear me? Now, can you hear it now? ”

She stared at her cell phone and wandered as close to the boat as she could. I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? She found a place with a slight signal, but unfortunately it was the location of the gangway for getting on and off the boat.

"Ahhh Ah~"

She squeezed open the gangway, grabbed it with both hands, and fell backwards into the river with an empty case of beer. She kept flapping in the water, and then floated on the buoyancy of the empty plastic box.

"Oh my God."

"Damn."

Everyone put down their work and went to the side of the boat to watch, they were not capable of saving people, and they did not want to rush into the water. Even if it succeeds in exchanging one, someone is still dead. It's not a hero at all, it's the stupidest thing to do. Naturally, there will be people who are really capable to save people, don't think that only you can do it. There are so many people in this world who have their own abilities that it is unimaginable.

Susan was very sober, and she put aside the antagonism between women and shouted as she climbed the stairs. "Someone has fallen overboard, stop the boat."

Song Kim heard the shout and pulled the push rod, causing the boat to stop. The cab isn't as shabby as it looks on the outside, and it's surprisingly a bit advanced.

"I'm going to save her."

Johnson and the other ships listened thoroughly and greeted Song Jin. Without rushing into the water, he took out a long bamboo pole from the side of the boat and stretched it out for Lisa to grab.

When Bill saw that someone was coming to the rescue, Lisa was okay for the time being, and started joking. "Lisa, can you hear me?"

"I'm going to kill you." Relying on the anger in her heart, Lisa actually pushed the plastic box and swam towards the boat in the water.

"Swim, swim here, hurry. You're almost there. ”

"Lisa, is the water temperature in the river okay?"

"Let go of that phone, do you want to use it as a float?"

Lisa grabbed the long bamboo pole and was pulled when a crocodile pounced on the water. Something cut her arm and blood spilled in the water, attracting nearby predators.

"Mom!"

"Damn it!"

Johnson taught the bamboo pole to Bill beside him, jumped into the water without hesitation. Swimming behind Lisa to stop the crocodile for her, he grabbed the empty box and stuffed it into the crocodile's mouth amid the exclamations of the crowd.

Lying on the crocodile's back, he hugged the crocodile's forelimbs with one hand, and pulled out the short dagger at his waist with the other hand, and kept piercing the crocodile's head.

"Hurry!"

"Quick! Hold on. ”

"Be careful, stab it, prick it in the eye."

Don't look at Susan as a woman, she is indeed the calmest of all people, much better than the man who can only shout on the side.

Song Jin poked his head out and relaxed at the rare and interesting event, and when he saw a crocodile, he immediately pulled out the rifle on the wall, ran quickly to the stern of the boat, and set up the gun to find the opportunity.

Johnson is tall enough, and the crocodile is long enough for two of him to compare. The other animals are fine, but the crocodiles are a bit troublesome in the water. It was constantly stimulated by the knife, and the blood stained the river red, and when it couldn't bite Johnson on its back, it used its exclusive skill to die and roll.

The crocodile gradually lost his strength and sank into the water with Johnson on his back. In the midst of everyone's confusion, Johnson suddenly emerged from the water. Then the crocodile's carcass floated out of the water, and he swam over and pulled out a short knife that had been stabbed into the crocodile's brainstem.

"Damn, you killed it, an adult caiman."

Johnson swam back, and the first thing he did when he got on the boat was to look at Lisa, who was in a state of panic. "Are you alright?"

"My phone dropped."

"That's a shame."

Johnson tried to enter the cabin to change his clothes, but was stopped by a frowning Susan.

"It's not the bravest I've ever seen, it's the stupidest act."

"It doesn't make much difference."

Courage is sometimes stupidity, if he hadn't jumped into the river just now, Song Jin above him would have killed the crocodile with a few shots. Without this dangerous rescue, everyone would be fine.

Johnson should be thankful that he was lucky enough to have attracted the true overlord of the rainforest in his battle with the crocodile. They didn't notice that the crocodile floating behind them was dragged underwater by something.

Snakes can swallow prey larger than their own body size, bucket-thick black caimans, and simple reverie can also imagine the enormity of underwater giant snakes.

Ben stitched up the wound on Lisa's arm, fifteen centimeters long and not too deep. "It's okay, don't touch the water."

"Thank you."

Jack started with a toast from the crowd, thanking Johnson and celebrating the rest of Lisa's life.

"Almost got eaten just to find flowers, is it worth it? I don't think it's worth it. The relationship between everyone is a lot closer, Song Jin knocked on the side to find out their purpose, and he took turns to relax with everyone.

"It's worth it." Bill grimaced, he didn't want anyone to negate what they'd done over the years.

"Think about it, the pills you have to take every day in the future, even if we only sell them for one dollar, we will get enough to become a billionaire. A bottle sells for a hundred, and even I am willing to jump in and fight with the crocodile. ”

Bill couldn't help but laugh, and the other stakeholders laughed along with them, and they were happy to imagine the future.

"Fifty flowers to produce one ounce of medicine. Even if there is a football field of red flowers, it is not enough to complete human experiments. Lisa smiled and poured a bucket of cold water on the group.

"She doesn't believe you at all."

Song Jin looked at Jack playfully, and Jack said helplessly: "That's what you do." Research is like that, there will always be people who will question you until it is completely successful. ”

Jack gestured slightly to his glass, and drank it under her relentless gaze. He is in charge of the lab with a few researchers, with Black Bill in charge of Galen Technology and Lisa being the head of the company in charge of selling drugs.

Suddenly, a black ball fell from above, penetrated the roof and smashed onto the table. The sudden change frightened everyone into screaming everywhere, and they retreated and hid.
