Chapter 85: 'Strange Stones from Another World'

Zhang Lisheng's place was already in the depths of the Amazon jungle, and after the witch spell stopped, although the breath of the monitor lizard could deter most creatures, it was a downright rough provocation for the original overlord of this woodland.

As soon as the island dragon stood on the giant tree, a pale green python covered with mottled black spots slowly floated into a pool of water watered by a shallow tributary of the Amazon River.

Its color blended perfectly with its surroundings, and it slid like a ghost along the dense trees of the jungle towards the monitor lizard, and suddenly rushed towards the island dragon as Zhang Lisheng muttered to himself.

The monitor lizard was attacked, and in an instant, the giant claws of its forelimbs popped out sharp hooked nails, piercing the python's body in one fell swoop.

Then it jumped high again, pressed the sneak attacker under it fiercely, opened its bloody mouth, revealing a mouth full of fangs, and tore the python's tough body into several pieces in three or two blows.

After the body was broken, the giant python with tenacious vitality was immortal for a while, and four or five pieces of its body were blindly and manically curled and tightened on the branches of the giant tree.

Zhang Lisheng, who had been attacked by the giant python, had not changed his face, and after seeing that the python was only half of its body left, and was still looking at his snake head, he suddenly cursed loudly: "What a hell, I met the Amazon Python, where did I run to!"

The Amazon Python is the largest python in the world.

Unlike oviparous snakes, the scorpion is viviparous.

The cubs born by the female snake are as thick as pencils, but they are sixty or seventy centimeters long, as slender and cute as long bamboo chopsticks.

In the harsh environment of the Amazon jungle, young snakes begin to be printed with the recipes of predators after birth, and their mothers can die if they are careless, and the living environment is extremely difficult.

However, as long as it survives the first few years, the forest python will slowly grow into a behemoth with a maximum body length of more than ten meters.

They inhabit muddy banks or shallow waters, and when they are hungry, they wrap themselves around all creatures in sight, break the bones of their prey, and then swallow them whole, standing at the top of the jungle food chain.

When he saw the forest python, Zhang Lisheng realized that he had come to the dangerous area of the Amazon jungle.

Even if he is a Sanwu, his body is still the same as Changjin, and it is still very dangerous to go into the depths of the jungle rashly without preparation.

Distraught, he drove the monitor lizard to eat the forest toad, Zhang Lisheng thought about it and released the mountain toad out of his backpack and hunted it in the dense forest.

Then he rode the monitor lizard down the way it came, and turned around and flagged in the jungle canopy.

When he came, he unconsciously reached the depths of the dense forest, but the way back stumbled, but fortunately, with the help of vague memories and good luck, when the color was dark and black, Zhang Lisheng finally saw a city from afar.

Rushing to the side of the jungle road, Zhang Lisheng, who was finally down-to-earth, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, stepped on the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked onto the street.

It was an unusually desolate-looking neighborhood, with potholed roads, only a few buffalo-pulled carts walking slowly, and rudimentary mud houses lining the streets.

Zhang Lisheng saw that there was no shadow of a taxi around him, so he randomly chose a direction and kept walking along the street.

After walking for a few hundred meters, he saw a signboard standing on a mud house on the side of the road, and walked in directly regardless of whether it was a shop or not.

It is a dimly lit hut, and three or five steps into the door is a rectangular earthen platform made of mud more than half a meter high.

The earthen platform is covered with thousands of green plantain leaves, and piles of charred black lizards, forest rats, meat insect barbecue, and bags of strange-smelling spices are neatly stacked on the plantain leaves.

The walls behind the earthen platform, which looked like rain had seeped down, were covered with grimace masks and bizarre wood carvings.

The rain fell down the walls to the ground, and in the light of a dim light bulb, it left tear-stained marks on the masks and wood carvings, and I couldn't help but feel hairy when I saw it.

There was only one young man in the shop who looked thinner than Zhang Lisheng, Zhang Lisheng stepped forward and asked tentatively in English: "Your good friend, can you speak English?"

"Of course, sir, as the owner of one of the top ten shops in Lunnook City, I am fluent in six Chinese.

Mud good, spray oil; ใ“ใ‚“ใซใกใฏ Youin" Seeing that there were customers overflowing, the teenager tried to make a big appearance, speaking several Chinese dialects in a grotesque tone, selling off his knowledge, trying to win the trust of customers.

For a small jungle country like Tattutu, which originated from the action of external forces and drank blood directly from Rumao, to the modern society without any transition, the contagion of the foreign culture of the dominant civilization is almost irrepressible like cancer.

Without the support of a long history, it is natural for young Tatttu Tutu, who wants to change the fate of poverty, to use ten times more patience than learning his own Chinese language, to use every available opportunity to learn a more useful foreign civilization language.

"Okay, I'm Hua Guojin, but I can barely understand your English," Zhang Lisheng said with a smile: "Do you know how to get to the 'Golden Brick Hotel'?"

"The BRICS Hotel, isn't that in Tuyi Kanoo, sir, we are here in the city of Lunnook. The indigenous boy looked at the embarrassed young man in front of him and said strangely.

Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, turned to look at the dirt road outside the door, and suddenly realized that he had not moved from the jungle to the desolate suburbs of Tuyi Kano at all, but to another city.

"And how far is it from Tuyi Kano?"

"About a hundred kilometers, you can take a bus to Mingyao, as long as it costs fifteen solos, or three meters. โ€

Fortunately, it was not too far from Tuyi Kano, and Zhang Lisheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Then do you have a hotel to stay in Lunuk?"

"Of course, we have the 'Green Forest Hotel'.

Although it is not as luxurious as BRICS, it also has three stars.

I can take you there, as long as you buy me one thing. โ€

Zhang Lisheng looked down at the blackened meat skewers on the earthen platform in front of him, looked up at the simple and ugly wood carvings on the wall, and said with a smile: "I can give you a commission directly." โ€

"Sir, I'm a shopkeeper, not a coachman.

My dad said that as the owner of the shop in Lunuk, we should only help customers, so if you want me to take you to the Green Forest Hotel, you have to be my guest first. โ€

"Oh, a principled one, that's good, I'll buy you a meat skewer," Zhang Lisheng didn't talk nonsense, picked up a peeled umbrella lizard meat skewer on the earthen platform, and said while eating, "I didn't expect this grilled lizard to taste good."

Let's go, I only have a credit card on me, and I can exchange the money to pay you when I get to the hotel. โ€

He was originally a teenager from a mountain village in western Sichuan, and he didn't want to eat these Amazonian native foods, but that didn't mean he couldn't eat them.

"Sir, you are the most bold tourist I have ever seen to eat 'roasted game'," the indigenous boy said in surprise when he saw Zhang Lisheng eat the grilled lizard skewers in a few bites, "But just buying a meat skewer of 50 meters is not enough for me to send you to the hotel." โ€

Zhang Lisheng, who ate the meat skewers and had a somewhat proper stomach, gradually understood the young man's tricks, "Then what do you want to sell me before you can send me to the hotel?"

"Well," the boy quickly looked at his humble goods, opened his mouth but did not make a sound, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he dug out a colorful-looking pebble from his pocket, "I intend to sell you something unique."

You see, this is a 'jelly gem' that I dug up when I accidentally saw a different dimension.

If you like it, I can sell it to you. โ€

"Your 'jelly gems' are often called pebbles, or pigment-dyed pebbles.

Well, whatever it is, how much does it cost?"

"It's by no means Mr. Pebbles, you see, it's soft, and it can stick to your hands and deform at will," the indigenous boy said, flattening the colored pebbles in the palm of his hand, shaking it a few times, and proudly shining his hand to Zhang Lisheng and saying: "Look, you don't need to stick it with cow glue, it's still firmly in my hand."

The most amazing thing is that whether you pull it into a string around your hand, or pat it into a cake and stick it on your body, if you don't pay attention, you won't feel its existence.

You can try it, this gem is just like its origin, it is very magical.

Late at night, more than a dozen years ago, when I was at the back of the house, I suddenly saw a faint yellow light flashing in the jungle.

I couldn't resist running to take a look, and it turned out to be a glittering gate of ten large trees side by side, none of which was that big.

The gate led to an island with strange stones, rivers, and houses.

I've never seen a boxy, long, pointy wooden house like that, but it looks beautiful.

By the way, there are also a lot of lifelike strange animals and big birds carved on those houses.

I was curious, but I didn't dare to go inside and look at it.

But the gate seemed to have its own feet, and it could keep moving on and on the huge island, until it came to a face of colored gems as huge as a mountain.

I saw that the door would not move again, so I couldn't help but reach out and touch the big rock, but when my palm retracted, the door was gone, but I was lucky enough to catch this 'jelly gem' for some reason.

The young man spoke eloquently, took the deformed stone off the palm of his hand, and handed it to Zhang Lisheng.

"It turned out not a pebble, but a piece of rubber. Zhang Lisheng took the cake-like stone, watched it slowly turn into the shape of a pebble, stretched it around his finger and said, "Okay, it's interesting."

I'm willing to give you a reasonable price. โ€

"It's really a gem..."The boy hurriedly argued, but when he saw Zhang Lisheng's cold expression, he sighed, "Well, you're really an imaginative.

Eighty, no, one hundred dollars sir, I risked losing my arm to get it, it was worth a hundred dollars. โ€

"No problem, as long as I can take a hot shower and have a hot dinner in the shortest possible time, your 'jelly gem' is worth a hundred meters. โ€
