Chapter 116: Sweeping the Rainforest
After settling the matter of Wharf Town, Ye Guangji returned to the rainforest, changed the route he had not taken, and continued to search deep into the rainforest.
The reason why he still does this is not only because he covets the rare herbs and minerals in the rainforest, but also because the main quest to protect the blood orchid has not yet been completed. The lush blood orchid that dug up the snake god's lair, the system panel did not pop up a prompt that the task was completed.
This shows that there are other blood orchid plants in this vast rainforest. It's just that they are still young, and they only have the level of green or even white level. Even if it wasn't for the main quest, he didn't want to give up any Blood Orchid.
I don't know what the name of the blood orchid in other fantasy worlds is, but it is also a rare thing according to its efficacy. If you meet this time, you won't know when you will meet again.
Not long after Ye Guangji entered the rainforest, the news of a giant python slaughtering the town spread wildly on the Internet, with pictures and a few seconds of video. The panicked people were on fire everywhere, and there were black shadows that flashed in the camera. It was covered up in less than half an hour.
The forces behind Doren formed a team to explore the town, pushing the team that had not yet set off to set off towards the rainforest in a short time. The incident in the dock town is too bad, although it is only a border dock town, but there are thousands of people, and all of them were determined to be missing overnight.
This is not what the experts have analyzed, similar to spider crabs, with a biological inconsistency of 'polarization macrosomia'. A simple gigantic animal can't do this kind of thing, judging from the various information that comes out, this giant python can also breathe fire.
Creature fire-breathing is a possible thing, such as an insect called a cannon armor. It can spray a high temperature of 100 degrees, and has achieved a jump from 20 degrees to 100 degrees. Nature can give birth to magical beings, and it is not impossible for a fire-breathing python to appear.
The personnel gathered outside the rainforest with a huge number of weapons, divided into ten thousand-strong brigades, and entered the rainforest from ten locations, which was quite like they wanted to sweep the rainforest away. If they don't eradicate this giant python that has killed more than a thousand people, they will never give up.
Behind these Pakistani troops, there are still quite a few private teams waiting. The rainforest is a natural treasure trove of treasures waiting to be discovered. This time, someone opened the way ahead to clear the danger, just taking advantage of this shareholder wind.
Of course, the benefits can all go into the pockets of individuals, and those who can come will inevitably distribute the benefits in advance. Willing to give, there is a gift to have gain, knowing how to pay first is also a kind of great wisdom.
At the sound of the order, the team marched towards the rainforest, and the outside world had already prepared funds to restore the damaged ecological balance of the rainforest, of course, they would try to minimize the damage to the rainforest. The treasure hunt team in the rear followed, and some of the more capable people mixed directly with the open team.
A large number of people enter the rainforest from the ground, and unlike the sky and the river, the jungle hides a large number of poisonous insects and beasts. In order to ensure that the ecology is mainly driven away, it is inevitable that there will be people in danger, because the preparation is sufficient, and the overall situation is quite smooth.
On the periphery, they encountered a standard-sized python, which looked scary, but it wasn't that exaggerated. The body is fat and the head is small, even somewhat disproportionate, and can only swallow prey the size of a goat.
The smooth operation is inevitably relaxing, and some people who have never seen the tragic situation of the dock town still think that the existence of the super python is exaggerated. Driven by the treasure hunting team, the whole team became talking and laughing, not as solemn as they started to go to the battlefield.
The serpent's abnormal size is also a burden on internal organs, so they prefer to stay in soft mud or deep water. It is not as good as people with particularly exaggerated weight, who generally choose to exercise in the water when they first lose weight.
The team was careful so they marched relatively slowly, and in the evening they camped by the river to rest, and it was an absolute nightmare to travel through the rainforest at night. The reason why I chose to camp by the river is because the rainforest is lush with vegetation and it is easy to hide dangerous things in it, and some of the riverside sandand and gravel beaches are suitable for camping.
A team chose to camp on the riverside beach, and the treasure hunt team took out various supplies to share with others. Hades is better than a little ghost, and eating up and down is the best choice. However, after all, they are soldiers of the country of Ba Ni, well-trained and know how to stop in moderation.
There are always people standing guard at night, and even if they are resting, they are extremely vigilant. The animals on the periphery are driven deeper into the rainforest, and the animals that are far from their homes will inevitably enter the territory of other animals, and it will be another battle of life and death.
At night, it was time to hunt, and all kinds of fighting increased dramatically, and the bitter wailing never stopped. Under the cover of night, a snake's head poked out of the water, and the snake hyacinth sniffed out a large number of prey gatherings.
Humans were nothing more than big prey in his eyes, and their barren heads could not understand the power of those iron creatures. It only knew how to eat when it was hungry, and the snake body approached the makeshift camp underwater.
It just so happened that three people from the treasure hunt team got up at night and went to the river to do something that they couldn't help but do. Several lines of water fell into the seemingly gentle surface of the water and poured on the lurking giant serpent. Seizing the opportunity for its prey to let its guard down, the serpent poked out its head and bit one of them before retreating into the water.
The two of them, who were still sleepy, flashed in front of them in a daze, and then the companions who came out together disappeared. The two of them were shocked, and their sleepiness suddenly disappeared.
"Someone! Help me! Someone fell overboard!! ”
Both of them didn't have time to zip up, and shouted loudly as they lifted their pants. Run into the makeshift camp and wake everyone up.
"What's wrong!" The guards were divided into a five-person patrol, and the first one asked with a serious face.
"It's convenient for us to go to the river, and the companion who went with us fell into the water!" The two of them fastened their pants and gasped for breath, and one of them replied smartly.
"Where? Take me there. ”
"Over there. We don't know if he fell overboard on his own or if he was dragged down by something. It's so sleepy that I can't see clearly even by moonlight. ”
The two led the way in front, but they didn't dare to approach when they reached the river, although they didn't see how their companions fell into the water, but there was a high probability that they were attacked, and they could still show their heads when they fell into the water, unlike this time they fell into the water and disappeared.
It's normal to die in the rainforest, let alone a treasure hunt team, which comes to participate in private. There was no obligation to take care of them in the first place, and if there was an accident, it could only be said that it was bad luck. The clues are too scarce to investigate anything, so I can only simply report to the top and end hastily.
Many camps were attacked that night, and the most venomous insects and beasts were the serpents. There was a camp that killed a giant python and saved half of the people who had swallowed it. The data of the snake corpse was quickly reported and transmitted directly to the outside of the rainforest.
Naturally, they don't think that this is the python that destroyed Dock Town. But the size of the snake corpse is also frightening enough, and the real man-eating python is an existence that can swallow adults whole. There are also stories of giant catfish and giant snakes devouring people, but they are all children or emaciated people.
With the casualty team more vigilant, some vulnerable treasure hunt teams are already thinking about whether to leave. Leaving can mean that the early investment is wasted, which makes the already weak team even worse.
Pakistan's troops don't care, how they choose. Before dawn the next day, I packed up my things and continued to drive. Even if they try to preserve the ecology, as long as they enter the rainforest, they destroy the ecology and squeeze the living space of the animals in the rainforest.
As the team progressed, more and more pythons were encountered. From the beginning of the drive to the hunt, the presence of the python has affected the ecology. In an area they encountered, birds and beasts were extinct and full of dry bones, and a giant python the size of a water tank had eaten all the animals in the territory.
The team met them on the side of the attack, losing quite a few men and an armored vehicle. The leader of the team, Simur, looked at the snake corpse solemnly, his head was shattered, and his body was still tightly strangled with the armored car, the snake body locked the car like an iron chain, and the carriage was slightly deformed and the wheels were completely scrapped.
"It's scary that such animals can evolve in the rainforest. That giant python that slaughtered the town, isn't it ......?"
"Report to the chief, the team is reorganized, you can continue to go!" A man came running quickly, stood still in front of him, and immediately gave a standard military salute.
"Well, let's go, get into your place before dark." Simul returned the salute, restrained his blindness, and commanded the visitor.
"Yes."
The team was followed by a helicopter, and Ye Guangji's existence was not discovered, and the team's goal was to continue to go deeper into the rainforest. Helicopters serve as a pathfinder, and fighter jets and missiles will arrive at any time if air support is really needed.
Secretly attacked by animals many times, the team became more and more vigilant, and the speed of travel became slower and slower. Even if you set up camp at night to rest, you have to search around the camp several times.
Ye Guangji is not affected by the rainforest, and scavenges in the rainforest. When encountering a bony that is pleasing to the eye, it will be caught and stored as a raw material. Seeing a lot of things, his taste has also been raised, and there are no distinctive equipment and props, at least the best in the green order can enter his eyes.
The contractors who have just passed through two fantasy worlds still regard ordinary green-tier equipment as their main equipment. It is pure and pure drought death, and waterlogging death. The gap between rich and poor is so exaggerated.
In Ye Guangji's tireless search, he found a white-level blood orchid, which may not be called a blood orchid, but just a seed that has not sprouted for a long time. The task of putting away the seeds was not yet complete, and he was happy to prove that there would be a harvest.
There are only two ways to complete the main quest, one is to dig up all the Blood Orchids, and the other is to destroy all the people who can take the Blood Orchids. Ye Guangji, a guy with a little bit of a monophilia, of course chose one.
Even if it was a blood orchid seed, he would not choose to give up. After a long time, it is not a purple rank again, of course, the cost of cultivating a seed to the purple rank far outweighs the benefits that can be obtained.
