Chapter 23: Embarkation
Several local aborigines put away the medicine with them, looked at each other and began to lead the way.
The vegetation here is so numerous that it dazzles everyone's eyes as soon as they enter the jungle, and a group of people quickly get lost as they walk in it, but the four aborigines are very familiar with the environment here, and they follow a direction where there is no place to settle at all.
At first, Wu Lao could grit his teeth and persevere, but after more than two hours had passed, his physical strength began to be exhausted, and his center of gravity was unstable, and his body suddenly fell forward.
This scene came a bit suddenly, and many people didn't notice it.
Li Qianmeng reacted, but she was still a few steps away from Wu Lao, and it was too late.
A figure appeared in front of Wu Lao in an instant, as fast as a cheetah, and helped Wu Lao who was about to fall.
"Fortunately, I brought you two with me this time, otherwise I might have to explain this old bone here."
Wu Lao looked at the two guards behind him who couldn't move, and was a little surprised.
These two people were specially sent by the base to protect his safety for this trip.
At first, he didn't have a good impression of these two expressionless guards, but from the moment the other party made a move, he actually felt an inexplicable familiarity.
"Elder Wu is polite, it is the task of the two of us to protect your safety."
The man who had just shot spoke for the first time, and his voice was like gold and iron.
Li Qianmeng glanced at the two curiously.
"Old Wu, are you okay?"
Looking at Wu Lao shaking her head slightly, her beautiful eyes turned: "What are the identities of these two people?" ”
Wu Lao hesitated: "Let's talk about this matter later." ”
Li Qianmeng nodded.
A small episode ended quickly, and the two guards stepped forward and supported Wu Lao's arms one left and one right, almost lifting him up, and the speed was very fast.
I don't know how long I walked, but a rapid exclamation sounded: "Don't move." ”
The young man named Chen Ting was a member of the expedition group, and he subconsciously turned his head after hearing the call of his companions.
A spider larger than an adult male's slap is headed down, with spider silk hanging from its buttocks.
just collided with Chen Ting, who turned his head.
"Ahh
A short, terrible scream resounded through the rainforest, and the person closest to him drew a dagger and pierced the bulging abdomen of the great spider, and green blood splattered.
"Chen Ting, how are you?"
"Chen Ting......"
A few people who had a good relationship with him hurriedly rushed over to see the situation.
"It's okay, it's just that an ordinary spider is not very poisonous, and it won't attack humans under normal circumstances, but it just happened to fall on him, and this kid is also unlucky."
The bald middle-aged Liu Neng stepped forward to inspect Chen Ting's wound and breathed a sigh of relief.
The injury was not large, just a circle of small blisters around it.
Zhao Hu squatted on the ground, carefully looking at the spider who had been stabbed to death by the dagger.
The whole body is brownish-yellow, the abdomen is shriveled, and the hair on the body is quite long.
"That's right, it's just an ordinary brown spider, I don't know why it grew so big, but fortunately it's not very poisonous." After observing for a while, he got up and said.
The people of the escort team nodded, they still dared to believe Zhao Hu's judgment.
Wu Lao stepped forward, and Zhao Hu hurriedly made a place for the other party to observe.
Wu Lao, who was squatting down, looked carefully.
Zhao Hu scratched his head on the side and said, "Old Wu, is there something wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Wu Lao dropped the fairy stick in his hand that was playing with the spider corpse.
Chen Ting, who stood up, was still a little shocked, but he regained his composure.
Those who can join the expedition group are generally psychologically acceptable.
Wu Lao opened the large backpack carried by the guards behind him, took out a bottle of spray from it and sprayed it on everyone.
With the lessons of the past, no one is letting their guard down this time.
The four aborigines have nimble legs and feet, and they are not as smooth as they can walk in this jungle, but they are also much faster than ordinary people.
An hour later.
It is an extremely wide river, with a rapid flow of water, and its banks are covered with dense ancient trees and weeds.
It is full of greenery and life.
On the edge of the riverbank, rows of old houses come into view, surrounded by fences made of barbed wire.
In the strip near the house, an old fishing boat floats on the riverbank.
The four aborigines excitedly gestured.
Now that they had arrived at their destination, it was useless to leave these four people behind, and soon the interpreter in the expedition group reached an agreement with the other party and waved his hand to let the other party go back.
The route has been marked by the convoy.
The house was surrounded by sharp barbed wire, and the gate in the middle was slightly open, and a burly middle-aged man sat in the courtyard.
"Longxia people?"
Seeing Wu Lao and the others, the big man's long hair was scattered and his eyes were surprised, and he was the first to speak.
His tone is not standard, but it does not affect communication with everyone.
Zhao Hu also glanced at the other party with some surprise: "Do you speak the language of Long Xia?" ”
"A little bit, I used to be a mercenary for a few years, and I went there in Longxia, a very nice place."
He really doesn't look like a local.
"You're going into the rainforest at this time?"
"IMHO, it's not a good choice."
Liu Neng touched his extremely smart head and stood beside Zhao Hu: "For... Why? ”
"A week ago, a crew came to me, and I didn't plan to go, but I was tempted by the payment they offered."
"According to the agreement agreed in advance, I was supposed to pick them up the afternoon before yesterday, but when I arrived at the agreed place, there was no one there!"
Jason smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Zhao Hu turned his head to look at Wu Lao and found that there was no change in the other party's face.
"Make a price, how much." The sudden boldness made Jason a little stunned, and he couldn't understand why these people had to go in at this time.
However, he is also an outlaw at heart, and people like this will not care about much danger when driven by profits.
"Two hundred thousand! I want the currency of Longxia Kingdom. Jason spoke.
"Deal." Zhao Hu replied without hesitation.
"Brother... Brother, don't you talk about bargaining? "Not only Liu Neng, but also those people in the expedition group were somewhat suppressed by Zhao Hu's cheerfulness.
"Haha, I like to deal with Longxia people like you, and you can leave at any time." Jason had a smile on his face.
Some of the members of the expedition group who reacted were secretly grateful, and they were regarded as rubbing a ticket and accepting a favor.
"Okay." Zhao Hu waved his hand, backed by the official organization of Long Xia and the support of the Li family along the coast.
Money doesn't mean much to characters like Wu Lao and Li Qianmeng.
Jason's fishing boat is not small, it can easily accommodate dozens of people, the old fishing boat more than ten meters long is rusted by the sea, the hull is covered with sediment and sediment on the bottom of the river, a mast stands up and the sail rises to the wind, and as everyone boards the boat, a boat is suddenly crowded.
Since the boarding ticket was paid by Zhao Hu, the two best seats in the small cabin were occupied by Wu Lao and Li Qianmeng.
A few people in the expedition group were dissatisfied, but they couldn't say anything.

PS: Recently, there was a person on the shelves in the street group, and the average order broke 3,000, and many people were jealous.
Later, we combined... Kicked him in.
(By the way, it may evolve into a two-watch beast in the near future.) )
