It's noon.

But the cloudy weather did not improve in the slightest, but became more and more gloomy.

Above an empty plain.

Xu Zhiwu, Zhao Hu and others successfully set up the tent, but their bodies were already wet with rain.

These improvised small tents were assembled by them, and a small fire rose in the center of the tent.

Several people were shirtless, baking their clothes.

In this damp and gloomy weather, the slight warmth brought by a flame could barely dispel the chill around it.

Xu Zhiwu took out two bottles of wine from the backpack behind him and opened them in the surprised eyes of others.

"Isn't it, Captain, did you really bring it?" Li Xiang was a little surprised.

"What are you afraid of, it's not when you're in the army, if you can't stand that bird's anger, Lao Tzu won't come to be a mercenary."

Xu Zhiwu sat on the ground with a big grin.

"Would you like a drink?"

"Good!"

"I'm coming!"

Huang Tian also spoke, this kind of weather is obviously not in a hurry, when will you rest if you don't rest at this time.

"What about you?" Xu Zhiwu looked at Chen Moyan, another machine gunner in the team.

"Hmm!"

The two bottles of wine were quickly divided between the five people, and a warm current of turbid wine entered the throat and flowed to the whole body, and the coolness left by the cold rain on the body was relieved.

"Damn, I don't know where to find that dog in this kind of damn weather! Forget it, Lao Tzu will sleep and wake up first! ”

Xu Zhiwu wiped his mouth and found a corner to lie down, the others were not familiar with each other, and after Xu Zhiwu was missing, the atmosphere became silent.

……

Gu Zheng on the trunk of the tree was awakened by a slight friction sound, he opened his pupils, and his expression changed.

Not far away, a spearhead pit viper appeared on the treetops, which was not large and only about a meter in size, and its whole body was black-brown.

It had obviously spotted Gu Zheng as well, and its mouth was wide open to reveal its sharp fangs and hiss.

Gu Zheng's eyes glanced at the ground, and he was shocked to find that the extremely heavy rain that had been falling for several hours had actually caused the water level of the lake to begin to rise, and the grass he had been on the shore before would have been covered by the lake.

Pit vipers are mostly semi-arboreal, so it's not surprising that they climb trees.

Although this ancient tree was stout, Gu Zheng had no idea of being neighbors with the other party.

The distance between the two is only five or six meters.

Gu Zheng stood up, looking vigilant.

When felines are on guard, snakes are basically out of reach.

But also be careful, if you are not careful, the venom of the pit viper is injected into the body of the feline, and even if it does not die, it will shed its skin.

Gu Zheng had seen some snake catchers before, and he knew from them that the smaller the snake, the more flexible its movements were, and the more poisonous it was.

Therefore, this spearhead pit viper is not large, but it is more dangerous.

As Gu Zheng approached, this spearhead pit viper obviously became vigilant, the snake's eyesight was extremely weak, and its hunting relied on infrared heat.

In such rainstorms, its hunting capacity is greatly reduced.

Without giving the other party time to prepare, Gu Zheng jumped and volleyed into the air.

Poof.

The sound of cutting like a sharp blade into flesh sounded, and there was not a trace of resistance.

The headless body of the spearhead pit writhed twice on the trunk and fell, leaving only the snake's head in place.

Gu Zheng was a little stunned, his right claw was raised, and the dagger-like claws ejected from the meat pad, and the black mist that had been wrapped around it before disappeared at some point, and the sharpness of the claws was obviously stronger than before.

If he used to be barely comparable to a dagger, now his claws are as sharp as a knife.

Gu Zheng didn't know if this change was good or bad, but if he could improve his strength, he wouldn't care so much anymore.

While Gu Zheng was thinking, Xiao Budian woke up, walked to Gu Zheng's side, and looked at the snake head in front of him, his hair standing upside down.

The head of the snake, which had lost its body, soon died completely, motionless as a gust of wind blew through and was blown off the trunk of the tree.

Gu Zheng stood on the branches and walked around, staring at the lake a few hundred meters away, the fog seemed to dissipate a little bit, and the visibility range increased.

The water level rose rapidly, and according to Gu Zheng's observation, the original lake water had expanded outward by at least ten meters, and the grass he had stayed in before only showed a slight amount in the lake.

The raging surface of the lake swelled from time to time, and more than a dozen black caimans swam ashore from the shallow waters, including the five-meter-long predator.

Although crocodiles are not as united as some living groups, they are not prone to infighting.

Gu Zheng even saw a few small crocodiles crawling over the big predators, but the other party didn't move.

A thunderbolt like a thunderbolt on a sunny day exploded, piercing the eardrums of living beings, Gu Zheng felt that his ears were tingling, and suddenly he couldn't hear anything.

This lightning was extremely sudden, and the sound was even louder, and for a while, all the sounds in the rainforest were suppressed by this thunderous roar.

There was a vast expanse between heaven and earth, and the sight was as bright as day, and nothing could be seen except a piece of snow white.

It took a long time for Gu Zheng to regain his sense of sight and hearing.

There was a hint of fear reflected in the pupils, and the lightning didn't know how thick it was, and it actually slashed directly on the surface of the raging and tumbling lake.

Just in an instant, a layer of fish and shrimp slowly emerged on the original lake, including many large fish of more than one meter, caimans of two or three meters, and strange creatures with scales that Gu Zheng couldn't name.

These creatures in the water were all electrocuted the moment the lightning struck the surface of the lake, and they were powerless to resist.

The individual power of living beings is vulnerable to nature.

There was a roaring beast under the water, and it actually passed through the lake to the outside world, the sound fluctuated non-stop, I don't know how many large underwater creatures were roaring and roaring, obviously being electrified.

The second dog was awakened from his sleep by this thunderous roar, thinking that there was a giant predator.

got up in a panic, but the dog's head was raised but it hit the trunk of the tree directly on the side, and fell down.

It doesn't stand very tall, but it's six or seven meters.

With a bang, the ground was soaked in rain and became soft, and a mud pit was smashed directly under the weight and inertia of the second dog.

The little little guy who was originally afraid was stunned by a series of operations by Ergou, and even forgot about the fear.

The second dog who fell down at this height did not have a trace of injury except for the mud on his body, and the mud was quickly washed away under the cleaning of the heavy rain.

With a wet fur, he climbed the tree again.

"Whew... Woof! ”

A clear dog bark came into Gu Zheng's ears, and he turned his head to look at the second dog's line of sight.

The lake spreads into the mangroves from a distance, some small underwater creatures are swept to the shore by the wind and waves, and a turtle is struggling to crawl into the lake after being pushed to the shore by the waves.

South American side-necked turtle, the largest freshwater turtle species in the world.

This turtle is not small, about a meter from head to tail, and its size is like a millstone, and the side-necked turtle usually haunts deep waters.

Gu Zheng didn't think deeply.

The side-necked turtle is one of the top prey on the diet for the jaguar, the king of the rainforest.
