"Boom, boom!"

The thunder was incessant, and the rain was incessant.

The old yacht, which was almost overwhelmed, began to "crunch" as it shook more and more violently.

Looking at the time on the watch, less than half an hour had passed since the group of teachers and students got off the boat, and the situation was no longer optimistic. The driver was very anxious, miscalculated, three hours to boast of Haikou, according to this situation, after a while if you don't leave, there will be no chance. He hurried out of the cockpit and to the side of the boat, where he could see that the river had reached almost the same height as the surface.

Can't wait!

With a decision, he leaned over and prepared to retract the gangway.

"Ahh

There was a sudden howl that frightened him and he fell to his knees on the deck. This terrible scream coming from the forest is rare in the world. After a long time, the driver's heart was still pounding.

Before he could come back to his senses, a figure in the distance broke into view, getting closer and clearer.

It was a young man in the group, wading through the mud with all his might, and when he came to the gangway, his eyes were full of fear.

"Come on!" the driver yelled at him.

Panting and crawling up, the young man fell to the ground and wept bitterly.

"What's going on?"

"Dead, all dead!" cried the young man.

"They're all dead, and who are those guys following you?"

"Huh?"

Glancing in the direction he had come, he let out a sudden exclamation and took a few steps back against the wall.

As far as the eye could see, a group of people covered in mud ran to the gangway and scrambled to climb up. However, when they saw the frightened young man on the boat, they stopped for a moment, and their faces were even more frightened than his.

The two sides are at a stalemate, and neither dares to make a move. The strange situation made the driver hold his breath and dare not make too much movement.

"Crunch!"

As the minutes ticked by, the sound of the hull stimulated the pilot's nerves, and his mood rose and fell as well as the deck.

"What the hell is going on?

Finally he couldn't hold it anymore, and he let out an angry roar, which made the young man with his back against the wall shiver, and also caused a slight commotion in the crowd staying on the gangway.

"He, he's dead!"

A hand was held out from the crowd, pointing to the young man leaning against the base of the wall.

"Inexplicable!" With a fur in his heart, the driver started a real fire and pulled out the person who spoke, "What do you mean?

"I, I saw it with my own eyes, he was swallowed by a giant python, how could he be here?"

"What are you talking about!" roared the driver, who was silently pressing his hand to the religious symbols.

"I saw it too. ”

"We've all seen it. ”

"Since he has been swallowed by the giant python, is it ...... who appears here?"

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

The driver glanced at the crowd with a vicious expression. Halfway through hearing this, his hair stood on end, and he hurriedly stopped. Now he didn't dare to turn his head and look at the young man behind him.

"No, they are the ones who died, I saw a group of giant pythons come out of the ruins with my own eyes, swallowed them all, and I finally ran back!"

There was an unexpected sound behind him, which frightened the driver. The voice gradually approached his ears, and looking at the crowd who had taken a few steps back, his legs were stiff and he couldn't move.

"Well, shall we change the subject? You guys, have you seen the professor?"

Hearing this, he had already identified the group of people in front of him as the students who had disembarked before. However, the professor was the only one in the crowd. For a moment, he felt that it was safer on shore than on the boat.

"Professor, didn't he come back with us?"

"I've seen him, there's no him among us!" shouted a student at the end of the crowd.

"The professor isn't going to die too, is he?"

It was the young man behind the driver who said the last words, and at the same time, a hand stained with slime put on the driver's shoulder.

Wait, slime?

...... Is it possible?

The driver's eyes widened suddenly.

Professor, he didn't come back with us......

We?

Together?

There is no Him among us......

Among us?

No?

The professor is also dead......

Also?

He's dead?

In an instant, the driver's heart began to beat violently.

No, the professor is not dead!

Or rather, only he didn't die!

"Ahh

With a frantic scream, the driver rushed out of the side of the boat and fell into the water. There was a pop, and in the rushing water, he involuntarily rushed downstream. After some struggle, choking on several mouthfuls of water, he finally hugged a reef and was temporarily out of danger.

Until this moment, he was still in shock, and he couldn't help but look back, and the lights of the yacht were already faintly visible.

"Whew!"

He let out a sigh of relief, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. When he came back to his senses, the throbbing muscles made him grin for a while. The water gradually submerged over the waist, constantly washing, soothing the pain and making the body gradually numb.

Body temperature is being lost, and so is strength.

It can't go on like this!

His heart was crossed, and he rolled over and dived into the water despite the throbbing pain in his muscles. The closer he got to the riverbed, and the closer he got to the shore, the slower the current, which was learned from experience, and it was also the only means of survival for him at this time.

Of course, this slowness is only relative, and it is still not something he can resist head-on. Realizing this, after diving underwater, he still went down the river, but gradually shifted his direction on the way, swimming towards the shore.

Finally, when he could not hold it anymore, he climbed to the dirt on the shore.

"Phew!"

The whole head poked out of the water, and the hot chest did not reduce his smile.

Survived!

Against the surface rapids, he grabbed the turf, grabbed the roots, and climbed ashore with difficulty. After laughing maniacally, he let out a sob, whimpering.

"Oh!

The cry was drowned out by the sound of the water, and the turbulence moved to his heels, and he immediately stopped it, took a few steps higher, and stopped.

In front of him was a forest, unfathomable, and worst of all, he was now naked when he took off his clothes. Occasionally, lightning that emerges from the clouds is the only source of light. He couldn't see his five fingers, and when he thought of the python inside, he couldn't move.

Otherwise, stay here, and if the water overflows, move back in.

With that in mind, he turned to the surface of the river and sat down, his eyes fixed on the edge of the river.

No, those pythons might come out of the woods and attack.

Thinking of this, he trembled and quickly turned around.

"Click!"

He froze in place, a bone dagger facing his brow under the lightning. Not only that, but there are two blowpipes facing him. He knew very well in his heart that the three people in front of him were inhabitants of primitive tribes, and the blowpipe must contain poisonous darts that sealed their throats with blood.

"I'm a local! I don't want to offend you! Please let me go!"

It was the only indigenous word he could speak. For rainforest guides, the business of leading tourists into contact with indigenous people is almost never encountered, and even they will not take it. Therefore, such a sentence has already made him a lot higher than other tour guides. Now in this situation, if it weren't for the fact that these three weapons were still pointed at him, he would almost laugh out loud.

However, he was lucky, but he did not get the ideal response.

The native, who had put down the bone dagger first, did not speak, but only made a gesture, and the other two put down the blowpipe. Half delighted, half stunned, the driver stepped forward and grabbed his arms and dragged him towards the forest.

"Oh, wait, what are you guys doing here?"

As soon as he broke free, he was confronted with a blowpipe stuck to his face. Consciously raising his hands, he tried to put on a harmless smile. The two natives looked at each other, still putting their mouths on the blowpipe. For the first time, the international gesture did not work.

"Okay, okay, I can walk on my own. ”

He pointed to himself, then to the natives leading the way, and made a walking gesture, and the two natives put down their blowpipes. The driver, who was constipated, was pushed and shoved by two natives in this way, and reluctantly, walked deeper into the woods.

Along the way, he saw many insects and animals climbing up the trees, but none of the so-called pythons were encountered.

Could it be that they found out about the money fraud and turned around to take revenge on me?

Walked all the way, thought all the way. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was determined to go back alive and kill one of them.

However, after pushing aside the bushes and walking onto a clearing, the anger in his heart was instantly extinguished, and in its place was a wave of palpitations.

Weak, he fell to his knees.
