Chapter 581: Jungle Trek
A dragon lizard nearly ten meters long, except for the head for the Romance warriors to ride, only the spine protrusion without barbs in the middle of the back can be placed on two saddles sewn from thick leather.
Moreover, the two samurai leaders, one song and one tail, consciously took on the duty of opening the way and guarding the aftermath, and could not place a leather saddle on the back of the riding beast, so that among the more than 50 people in the first group of the Chinese mission to explore the jungle, there were less than thirty in total who could ride on the back of the dragon lizard.
Fortunately, the remaining true descendants of the various sects who served as protectors had their own thaumaturgy, the imperial sword of the Daomen, and the drawing talisman;
The knot mudra of Buddhism summons the Dharma protector and makes the Dharma weapon;
The incarnation of the witch gate, the insect urge;
Muslim mullahs call to the gods, and walking through the jungle is a trivial matter.
Guo Caiying walked quickly to the nearest dragon lizard, stepped on the raised scales and lightly climbed into the saddle, looked around, and saw the various visions that appeared in broad daylight and the kaleidoscope around her, she couldn't help but sigh and muttered, "It's too unscientific."
No matter how many times I watched it, I still felt that such a scene was unreal. ”
"Ms. Guo, whether you think it's true or not, the reality of this era is like this," riding on the leather saddle behind the girl, Zhang Lisheng pouted and said: "It doesn't matter if it's scientific or not, what matters is that we can be protected by so many superpowered companions, and we will be very safe." ”
Seeing that the young man looked content with the role he played, Guo Caiying's slightly depressed mood was suddenly relieved, and she couldn't help but glare at Zhang Lisheng with a smile.
She felt that it was just a small gesture, and she didn't show any flaws. But I don't understand that there is a proverb called, "Love and colds can't be hidden", Liu Yiteng, who has been quietly caring about Guo Caiying's every move not far away, saw the completely different expression on her face, her heart was entangled, and her brows wrinkled tightly.
More than 30 meters away on Liu Yiteng's right, a beautiful young woman with slightly dark skin and toes that seemed to be standing high on her toes like dancing ballet, but in fact half an inch above the ground, also looked at Zhang Lisheng and Guo Caiying. There was a faint look of sadness and gloom on his face.
"Senior Sister Tao. After a while, you and Xiangzhou will be attentive to protect Director Guo, "There was a young man next to the woman who was also standing in the air, with a face like a crown, and he didn't notice her strangeness. He whispered: "You have the 'Yingzhou Secret Realm' with you. Senior Sister Xiangzhou specializes in the art of killing. When there is an accident, you will focus on defense, and Senior Sister Xiangzhou will..."
The man on the other side. A handsome and pretty woman interrupted him impatiently, "Don't be verbose, Lianbao, since this 'out of the mountain' is under your command, and Lulu and I have our own measure, you just give orders honestly, what are you impatient." ”
The slightly darker-skinned young woman also covered the different color between her eyebrows and said, "Senior Brother Duan, just give an order." ”
"I'm talking too much. Duan Lianbao, who was no longer childish, smiled slightly, and then said no more, and then shouted with Ao Fanluo, "Let's go." He floated into the primeval jungle with everyone.
The fertile soil, the warm climate, and the abundant rain have given birth to many creatures under the moisture of the long time, hidden among the dark giant trees whose rhizomes protrude out on the ground and whose vines are densely covered with cobwebs in mid-air.
The dragon domesticated by the Romance warriors has a slender body and a soft skeleton, which makes it look very large, but it seems effortless to traverse the rainforest.
Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting on the back of the lizard dragon and walking freely in the forest, experienced the rather astonishing speed of the otherworldly riding beast, looked at the endless canopy of trees covering the sky and the sun above his head, and unconsciously remembered the past, while pretending to ask Guo Caiying: "Miss Guo, the search is so sloppy, what are we looking for?"
"We're looking for ancient ruins of a rainforest civilization or the ruins of an indigenous tribe on a certain scale, so don't worry, no matter how fast you go, you won't be able to miss it. Guo Caiying, whose body was riding like a horse, rose and fell up and down, replied.
"Isn't it common sense that there are large-scale ruins or ruins, that is where a large group of natives once lived, and then they should be explored in the direction of the river's veins?" said the young man after a moment's thought.
"Dr. Fu, this is the Amazon, where it rains all year round, and the characteristics of the plain civilization that live by river are not applicable here. "Liu Yiteng, who was riding on a 'big lizard' that was advancing parallel to the dragon lizard that Guo Caiying was sitting on, used his half-understood knowledge of evil supplements to preemptively speak.
"Oh, sir, you have a misunderstanding, we are not looking for ruins, ruins, but ruins on a large scale. Zhang Lisheng shrugged his shoulders and retorted: "The plain farming civilization lives by the river for the sake of water, and the jungle civilization like the Amazon really doesn't need to worry about the water source and live by the river."
However, the large tribes in the rainforest are an exception, because they rely on gathering and hunting to sustain their large populations, and must be supplemented by a steady diet, while the easiest source of food in the Amazon is fishing, so the large ruins here must be next to large rivers and lakes. ”
"Dr. Xu, is Dr. Fu's judgment reasonable?" Guo Caiying's eyes lit up, and she asked in a loud voice to a man in the distance who was on the back of the dragon lizard, with a bumpy brow and a pale face, who looked to be around thirty years old and had sharp beak and monkey cheeks.
"Oh, oh, Guo, what are you talking about, Director Guo?" said the man as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"Dr. Fu just put forward a theory, saying that the Amazon is large..."Guo Caiying had to repeat what Zhang Lisheng said loudly, which inevitably attracted the attention of many people in the team.
After listening to Guo Caiying's words, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man was stunned for a while, his face turned red, but his mouth was very tough and said: "I, I, I also thought about what Dr. Fu said."
However, the Amazon River has been diverted many times since ancient times, and if you really want to gain something, it is better to use the dragnet search we use now. ”
Zhang Lisheng smiled and said, "Oh, Dr. Xu, as a scientist, the most important thing is divergent thinking.
Don't you know that the more rainy the jungle area is, the more traces of the diversion of the river will be, and a naturalist with a wealth of experience and knowledge can only ...
"Okay, Dr. Fu, this time we will do the search according to the original plan, and if there is no result, try your idea next time we make a plan. Guo Caiying suddenly interrupted the young man's words and ended the dispute with a decisive word, but at this time, many people's impressions of the inexplicable 'foreign aid' played by Zhang Lisheng have unconsciously changed.
The dense forest is dim and secluded, and only through the little sunlight through the lush foliage can the average person get a glimpse of the beautiful scenery of the Amazon.
If you were trekking on foot, you wouldn't feel like you were going to feel like you were riding on the back of a dragon, but you were easily sleepy and tired, and after a few hours, most of the people in the exploration team were drowsy except for the sect protectors.
However, Guo Caiying, who rode with her lover and had just undergone the transformation of Jindan transplanted life, was not tired at all.
Although in order to hide Zhang Lisheng's identity, she didn't chat with the young man differently, but she couldn't hide her smile from time to time and said a few words, and even secretly said some sensitive topics with her lips. "Li Sheng, when I rest tonight, I will find a way to ask those researchers from the Religious Affairs Bureau to help you find 'Tiantai Mountain'.
Well, I think that the so-called 'secret realm', that is, the incomplete miniature 'other world', will definitely have signs if it appears.
By the way, I recalled it carefully, it seems that I saw the news of a Dao Gate obtaining the 'Secret Realm' in that information, they may have a special way to help you, what excuse should I find..."
In the dark, looking at Guo Caiying's thoughtful expression, Zhang Lisheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he knew that the girl didn't know lip language, so he quietly wrote with his hand on Guo Caiying's deliberately placed back behind him: "Senior sister, don't be so anxious, looking for 'Tiantai Mountain' is just me to avoid trouble, I have nothing to do, and it doesn't matter if I can't find it." ”
"It doesn't matter, it's a place where Nuwa's legacy is hidden, and I have a hunch that finding it will be of great use to you. The girl turned her head and mouth-shaped.
The two of them talked in a staccato and silent manner, unaware of the passage of time, until the leader of the Roman warriors, in an open woodland, shouted, "Stop." Only to find that the sunlight between the canopies overhead had turned into moonlight.
"Director Guo, it seems that I have bad luck today, and I am destined to gain nothing. After walking hundreds of kilometers a day, but not even seeing a shadow of an abandoned native tribe, Ofanro said with a wry smile: "After a long day's journey, the dragon must hunt and rest, can we camp here?"
"Okay, we'll set up camp here. Knowing that not only the lizard dragon, but also the administrative officials and scientists in his team had reached their limit, Guo Caiying nodded, jumped off the back of the riding beast and said.
When the others heard the leader's words, they first cheered, and then they wailed and climbed down the dragon, rubbed their legs and stretched their feet, and some of them sat down on the forest floor as soon as they landed.
Guo Caiying saw the unbearable appearance of his subordinates, only to realize that he was radiant, and his usual appearance was really different, and he hurriedly shook his waist and limbs, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Then Captain Ovan Luo and Captain Mandis will take your soldiers to feed the dragon, and then guard at the outermost periphery."
Others, Director Duan, please sacrifice the 'Immortal Palace', Director Li, Director Qian, and Director Amat set up a formation and arrange a second cordon. ”
"As you wish, noble lady. Ao Fanluo bowed deeply, and led the otherworldly warriors into the dense forest and disappeared, and the other true lineages of the Huaguo Sect who were named by Guo Caiying also hurriedly responded and got busy. (To be continued......)
