Chapter 63: Deep in the Rainforest
Strange noises kept coming from behind, and Ni Xue'er heard the sound more than once, but after confirming with Li Yong, she didn't take it too seriously. In the rainforest, there are many birds and insects, and Ni Xueer only regards it as the sound of birds and beasts or the wind blowing leaves.
The three of them opened the way at the front, Ni Xueer in the middle, and Li Yong at the end. The rainforest was very slippery and extremely difficult to walk, and the three of them only walked about two kilometers in about two hours.
As he walked, Greer stopped, scraped his arm with his saber, and a five-centimeter-long leech was scraped off by him. Greer said:
"Be careful, the rainforest is very humid, there are a lot of leeches, and you won't feel it if you get bitten. ”
Looking at the leech that sucked blood and sucked her belly, Ni Xueer couldn't help but shudder. Although in this hot and humid rainforest, Ni Xue'er looked at the disgusting insects and felt a cool breath rise from her spine. She relayed Greer's words to Li Yong, reminding him to be careful.
The three of them continued to walk, towards their final destination. Voices from behind kept coming, but kept a distance from them.
And Ni Xue'er clearly felt the abnormality of the bead on her body at this time. A warm breath came from the beads, making Ni Xue'er's whole body feel comfortable.
But Ni Xue'er was in a bit of a heavy mood, the last time the beads had such a change, it caused a great change in the ruins of Atlantis, causing Song Yixing to disappear. And this time, this bead has undergone such a change again, is there something bad going on?
Thinking of this, Ni Xue'er felt heavy for a while. It's okay if she had an accident herself, but Li Yong is also here, and if Li Yong is involved, she will feel guilty for the rest of her life. And there is also a Greer, Greer is not related to them, if she also dies because of her persistence this time, then Ni Xueer will feel guilty and blame herself for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Ni Xueer made up her mind that after arriving at her destination, she must not let Li Yong follow her on an adventure.
"Yikes!"
Li Yong snorted lightly, which suddenly interrupted Ni Xue'er's thoughts. Looking back, I saw that there was also a blood-sucking leech on Li Yong's arm.
Li Yong was about to pull out the leech with his bare hands, and Greer immediately organized and said, "Don't use your hands, it will hurt your arm even more!" Li Yong didn't understand.
Seeing this, Ni Xueer hurriedly said:
"Wait a minute!"
Hearing this, Li Yong stopped. Greer pointed to the dagger on Li Yong's thigh, and Li Yong also understood instantly, pulled out the dagger, and scraped the leech off. Li Yong is not stupid, it was just a normal person's subconscious action just now, but when he was reminded, he immediately understood the reason.
"Thank you!" Li Yong said to Greer in English!
This Greer can understand, and he is welcome.
After that, the three of them hit the road again, Li Yong and Greer have been bitten by mosquitoes and other strange insects, but Ni Xue'er is fine, not only that, the heat is gone. Ni Xue'er is the same as fine, and even her physical strength does not feel any consumption.
This strange phenomenon also gave Li Yong and Greer a strange feeling, but neither of them could see anything abnormal about Ni Xue'er herself.
Only Ni Xue'er knew that at this moment, the mysterious bead on his body was exuding a faint warmth, and that warmth made her whole person extraordinarily energetic. Maybe it's because of this power that the strange insects in the forest won't attack her.
It is precisely because of this power that Ni Xue'er seems to be extraordinarily energetic, and at this moment, she is even more energetic than the two big men. There was no sign of fatigue at all, and Li Yong, who had never been in the mountains a few times in his life, looked a little embarrassed.
As the three of them marched, the heat gradually darkened. It is extremely unwise to travel in the middle of the rain forest in the dark night. The three of them found a slightly open place and set up camp. After a while, Li Yong set up the tent, and Greer started a fire.
In a damp environment, thanks to Greer, a native of the country, it would have been impossible for the two of them to make a fire in a damp place where water could be wrung out.
Ni Xue'er picked up the map and looked at it carefully, although it was said that in this rainforest, the night was extremely dark, but with the help of a flashlight and firelight, she could still vaguely see and identify the outline of the map.
But after taking a look, Ni Xueer couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart. Under the shade of the trees, I don't even know where I am, so how can I look at the map?
After a while, in the midst of the fire, I don't know what kind of fragrance pierced through. Greer took care of it:
"Come here, eat. ”
"Oh, there's something else?" said Ni Xue'er.
In fact, she was not hungry at all, for some reason, after the warm transmission of that bead in her body, not only would she not be bitten by insects, she would not be tired, and she would not feel hungry anymore.
Li Yong was already hungry, but fortunately, he brought food, and after setting up the tent, he also ate a little, and now he is not so hungry. But when I smell Greer's food, I can't help but be surprised, what is it that smells so good?
Although he couldn't understand Greer's words, Li Yong still walked over, but when he saw the things in the fire, Li Yong's face was not good-looking.
Seeing Li Yong's appearance, Ni Xueer was also curious. She also leaned towards the fire, only to see that several fat bugs were roasting in the fire at the moment.
The insect was swollen by the fire, and the skin was transparent and golden, and the bubbles of the oil could be clearly seen in the middle. Under the scorching fire, after the insects bulge to the extreme, the buttocks or heads will "snort" open, as if the ball is leaking, and the air flow will blow up a small burst of soot.
This scene made Ni Xueer very uncomfortable. But she didn't show it. But it was impossible for her to eat that.
Looking at the appearance of the two, Greer smiled and said:
"Don't look at this thing as a bug, but it's delicious!"
With that, he took out one, slapped it in his hand, and pulled it from the middle, and the insect became two halves in response, and the internal organs of the insect were withdrawn, and Greer pinched it with two more fingers, and with a flick, the internal organs of the insect were separated.
Li Yong, who had just seen this scene, was a little surprised, but when he saw it clearly, he got used to it. After all, he has been a tour guide for many years, and he has eaten insects.
Ni Xue'er is different, she already has a habit of cleanliness, and she is very afraid of insects, it is not easy for her to show calmness just now, and now she wants to eat it, to eat that insect like Greer, it is simply uncertain.
Although Li Yong said that he had eaten insects, he couldn't eat them if he wanted him to eat them like this, without any seasoning. The two of them sat at random by the fire, and did not move anything, just watching Greer eat.
In the end, Ni Xue'er couldn't stand it anymore, she turned her head and carefully studied the map.
Greer didn't care, he ate by himself, a few bugs were not too many, and after a while, Greer finished eating.
Then Greer looked at Ni Xue'er, at this moment Ni Xue'er was particularly beautiful and moving in the light of the fire, Greer swallowed a mouthful of saliva, no one knew what he thought.
People in Brazil are generally dark, and a fair-skinned and beautiful woman like Ni Xueer is not to be seen, and Ni Xueer can be said to be the most beautiful woman Greer has ever seen. That's why Greer was willing to take the risk of taking the two to find the ruins.
Seeing Greer's gaze, Li Yong was a little unhappy, and he secretly became vigilant. However, Greer kept looking at Ni Xue'er and didn't notice him.
Unconsciously, the fire light coming out of the forest made a little sound from time to time, and it seemed extraordinarily quiet.
In the end, it was Greer who broke the silence, he looked at the map that Ni Xueer had studied for a long time and didn't have an eyebrow, so he said, "Show me!"
Hearing that Ni Xueer was a little incredulous, she did not underestimate Greer, but she also did not think that Greer could work on this map in Chinese. But she handed it over anyway.
After taking the map, Greer looked at it for a while, like Ni Xue'er said:
"Our immediate location is here, and we will be at the site tomorrow after a morning walk!"
Hearing this, Ni Xue'er was a little surprised, she didn't expect Greer to be able to understand the map.
"Can you really read it?"
"I'm familiar with this terrain, so I can understand it," Greer said. ”
"Okay!"
At this time, Greer asked solemnly: "You say you are journalists, and you are going to the ruins to collect information, but you have nothing but a camera, so what are you doing there?"
"We're really here to collect information, why don't you believe us?"
"Well, I won't say more, since you've already paid, I'm just responsible for bringing you there. Whatever you are going to do then, it has nothing to do with me, I will not negotiate for you Gomayan descendants, you can figure it out for yourselves!" said Greer.
Ni Xue'er replied: "Don't worry, everything has nothing to do with you, you are responsible for bringing us there!"
Greer said very solemnly: "No matter what, I still have to remind you that the Mayans are not easy to provoke, that race is extremely weird, and those who provoke them will not end well." ”
Hearing this, Ni Xue'er was silent for a while, she had heard or many urban legends about the Mayans in the early years, but she didn't expect that here in South America, there were also such legends in the places where the Mayans lived. Then those legends have to make Ni Xueer doubt their authenticity.
This night passed quickly, and Li Yong had been guarding against Greer, but the night had passed, and he didn't see anything wrong with Greer.
And Ni Xue'er couldn't sleep well this night, she always felt that something was secretly peeping at them......
