Chapter 62: The Amazon Rainforest

South America, this is a magical place, where the world's largest tropical rainforest has been quietly rooted.

I don't know how many secrets are hidden in that rainforest, and I don't know how many civilizations have perished and risen anew, and then perished again. One of the most famous is the short-lived Mayan civilization!

The lush greenery of the rainforest has covered many ruins, which have been continuously eroded by the high temperature and flowing water, and gradually returned to nature.

As soon as Ni Xueer got off the plane, she felt an unbearable heat, which was extremely muggy. And here, the breeze blows, and there is also a heat wave, which does not bring the slightest feeling of coolness. This is the weather in Brasilia at the moment.

Nicher's goal is not Brasilia, but the depths of Brazil's rainforest, which means she will be in a hotter and wetter place. This is simply unimaginable torment for a person who grew up in the north of China. However, for Song Yixing's sake, she didn't care so much.

Arriving in this strange place in South America, of course, you can't just the two of them rush into the rainforest.

Brazil is known as the world's melting pot of races, and the lingua franca is Portuguese, which shows Ni Xueer's strength.

First of all, Li Yong was amazed by her fluent English, Li Yong's English is also excellent, but it pales in comparison to Ni Xueer. What shocked Li Yong even more was that Ni Xue'er was also fluent in Portuguese.

In this way, there is no communication barrier between the two in Brazil.

The most important thing for the two of them is to find the ruins of the Mayans, and naturally they have no leisure to play. Their destination is thousands of kilometers away from Brasilia. So they didn't stop in Brasilia, and their next stop was Manaus, a city in northwestern Brazil.

Once you reach Manaus, you have to go up the Amazon River to a small town called Mamori. Here, the duo bought a lot of supplies necessary to enter the jungle, as well as some medicines for emergencies. Greer, a local guide, was hired, and after paying enough money, Greer finally agreed to take them into the rainforest.

Greer said to Ni Xue'er and Li Yong in Spanish with a local accent: "I didn't say it! The jungle is very scary, why do you two have to go to the jungle?"

You Cher said, "Brother Greer, there is something in the jungle that is extremely important to me, and I must get inside!"

"The rainforest is extremely dangerous, and I can only be your guide, not your safety. ”

Ni Xueer received: "Don't worry, our safety is all our responsibility." ”

Greer asked, "You have to tell me what you're looking for in the rainforest?"

"We are reporters from the Chinese newspaper, and we just want to see the Mayan ruins and take a few photos to go back!"

Greer was taken aback:

"What? You're going to the ruins in the jungle? I can't go there!"

"Why?" Ni Xueer asked!

Greer shook his head and said:

"I'm not going there, you can find someone else. ”

Although Li Yong didn't understand Spanish, the result of the conversation between the two of them could be obtained from Ni Xueer's expression. Hearing this, Li Yong was anxious for a while, but he didn't have any way.

"You have already promised to take us there, and you have already received the money, how can you regret it now?" Ni Xue'er was a little displeased.

Greer smiled awkwardly and said:

"This boss, I didn't know that you were going to the ruins, and if I knew that I was killed, I wouldn't have taken your money. ”

Greer is a local idler, and he likes to show off very much, and it is difficult to get the money back when it is in his hands, which is also a small mistake made by Ni Xueer. Fortunately, the two only paid some deposits.

"Let me tell you this, none of us here would want to go to the Mayan ruins. No matter how much you pay. ”

"Why?" asked Ni Xue'er.

"Almost all of us here have moved from other continents, and we don't know much about the local area. Many years ago, the ruins were discovered in the middle of the jungle. Later, word spread that we had discovered the Mayan ruins here. Many archaeologists and gold diggers flocked to our place. Our place was also once prosperous.

It is said that a joint international archaeological team once discovered a cave at the site. After the news of this happened, many people who claimed to be descendants of the Mayans came here inexplicably. ”

After hearing this, Ni Xue'er felt a little unbelievable that the descendants of the Mayans would reappear because of that cave!

Greer went on to say:

"Those who claimed to be descendants of the Mayans tried their best to prevent the joint archaeological team from entering the cave, and there were clashes with that group, and then the archaeological team entered the cave for unknown reasons. But they left in a hurry shortly after entering, and there are still Mayan descendants guarding them. Ordinary people can't get in there!"

Hearing this, Ni Xueer also denied that the group of international joint archaeological teams should be the archaeological teams of Song Yixing's father.

"So it's not that I won't take you there, it's that I can't, it's guarded there!" said Greer.

After hearing this, you Xue'er couldn't help but look bad, there were still people guarding that place, so it was almost impossible to enter.

"What's going on?" Looking at Ni Xue'er's expression, Li Yong asked with some concern.

"Gogril said that the ruins have been guarded since Yixing's father left, and it is not so easy for us to get in!"

Hearing this, Li Yong also felt a little tricky, but he looked at Ni Xue'er's expression and was still comforted: "It's okay, since we are all here, we have to go over and have a look, maybe things won't be as serious as we imagined!"

Ni Xue'er naturally thought the same way, he couldn't not understand everything because there was someone guarding there, finding Song Yixing had become something she had to do, no matter what she was facing in front of her, she would not back down.

Hearing Li Yong's words, Ni Xue'er nodded. Then she said to Greer:

"You just take us there, it's our business whether we can get in then!"

When Greer heard this, there was nothing he could do. He wasn't afraid to go there, he just couldn't get into it. The Mayans don't attack people who approach there for no reason, they just guard there. As long as you don't force your way there, you'll be fine.

Although Greer is a gangster, he is still quite righteous, since he has already collected the money and does not plan to return it to Ni Xue'er, he naturally will not take Ni Xue'er and the others to the Mayan ruins.

"Since you are going, I can't say anything, but you must be careful, I am not responsible for any danger in the rainforest. ”

After saying that, Greer looked at the equipment of the two and didn't say anything.

"Let's go!"

With that, the two of them, led by Greer, got on a small boat and sailed upriver to a smaller tributary.

Although it is only a tributary of the Amazon River, it is the largest river in the world, and its tributary water volume is also extremely wide.

The trio were on a boat carrying timber, which was not very fast, but it was the only means of transportation to the upper reaches of the region. After traveling about seven or eight miles, the three of them disembarked on the shore.

"Now we don't have to walk on foot!" said Greer.

Stepping on the wet ground made Ni Xue'er, a person who loves cleanliness since she was a child, a little uncomfortable. But it's a relief to think about.

The sound of insects and birds is endless, and the towering trees cover everything, and in this rainforest, the sun is not seen all year round, and the sunlight is completely blocked by the trees.

"Damn mosquitoes!" Li Yong scolded angrily. Quickly take out mosquito repellent and spray your whole body.

Greer looked at Li Yong's appearance, and only felt a burst of amusement, he knew the danger of mosquitoes in the rainforest, and it was completely useless to spray that little mosquito repellent water.

I saw Greer put down the gauze on his hat, and immediately covered his head, so that no mosquito could bite him. He looks like this, but he has a cloak on him.

Looking at Ni Xue'er's side again, there were no mosquitoes to bite her, and not only that, but other small insects would not go to her. This made Ni Xue'er feel a little weird, but what she was most afraid of in this rainforest was the bite of poisonous insects. And now, there is no poisonous insect that can touch her, which makes her overjoyed.

Li Yong also discovered Ni Xueer's abnormality, but he cared about Ni Xueer very much, so he was relieved a lot, he was a big man, and it was okay to be bitten, but Ni Xueer's tight and beautiful face was still not good if it was bitten.

Of course, Greer also found this, but he just thought that Ni Xueer had sprayed some kind of medicine with excellent mosquito repellent effect. After all, the faint fragrance emitted by Ni Xue'er was something he had smelled a long time ago.

Without hesitation, the three of them walked deeper into the rainforest. Ni Xue'er had the map given by Hu Lao, and Greer was also very familiar with that place, so the three of them would not get lost.

However, due to the fact that time has passed and the rainforest has changed a lot, and there is no distance to be seen here, it is completely covered by dense forests, so the map is not very useful. At critical times, you have to rely on Greer, a local.

"Rustle...... Rustle......"

On the way to walk, Ni Xueer always felt that there was some strange noise behind him, but when he turned around, there was nothing.

"Huh!"

Ni Xue'er gently tugged Li Yong and said, "Do you feel that there is something behind you!"

Li Yong looked back and looked carefully, but found nothing.

......
