Chapter 26: Rainforests, Giant Creatures

Standing at the entrance of the cave, the dragon was taking advantage of the light, and was looking intently at the fossilized skull in his hand.

The hard rock texture indicates that over tens of thousands of years, minerals from the soil gradually filled the gaps in the skull, increasing the weight of the skull.

Chasing the dragon was even more sure that it was the skull of a primitive human, and at this time he frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but think of a mysterious legend he had heard a long time ago......

"Hi...... What are you thinking!" Mina asked curiously, seeing his thoughtful expression.

"Nothing...... It's getting dark, we're going to spend the night here tonight, the priority is to need fire, God knows which creatures will sneak in in the night!" said Chasing Dragon.

He understood that nothing could be done without fire, and it was a matter of food and night safety. The smell of crocodile meat tends to attract nocturnal predators.

"You can first sort out a clearing, and bring in all the crocodile meat at the entrance of the cave. Chasing the dragon commanded.

Mina turned and walked to the entrance of the cave and picked up the crocodile meat and went to work alone.

Chasing the dragon looked around the environment around the cave, and finally found a large number of dry shrubs and plants in the corner of the other side of the cave. Those withered and withered plants, because they overgrew into the cave, eventually withered and died for various reasons.

He walked briskly, gathered all the dead leaves, and then braved the heavy rain to cut down some of the branches of the dwarf trees.

After a hectic period of activity, the fire finally lit up, and at the same time it emitted a thick white smoke...... When the fire was burning, he added damp branches to it.

By this time, Mina had made a large clearing around the fire, and fresh crocodile meat was placed on the ground. They had to finish everything before it got dark, because they couldn't go anywhere and couldn't do anything in the dark night.

"It's getting dark at night, so bake your clothes. Chasing the dragon is worried that the temperature in the rainforest often plummets at night, and wet clothes can easily make people sick and cold.

"Oh. Mina replied.

She then took off her wet camouflage uniform, leaving only a thin black short-sleeved shirt. Finally, a triangular branch is inserted into the crevice in the ground next to the fire to be used as a drying support.

The firewood burned more and more, and the smoke had long since dissipated, and the dazzling and warm light of the fire made the whole cave much brighter.

Chasing the dragon was standing at the entrance of the cave, looking out at the vast forest in the distance, as time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and everything on the earth seemed to be splashed with ink, and finally buried in the darkness.

The sky was still raining heavily, and the sound of the rain hitting the leaves crackling continued to reach his ears.

"Wet clothes are uncomfortable to wear, so take them off. Mina said.

In a moment, Chasing Long turned and walked over to her, took off his wet camouflage uniform, and hung it by the fire to bake. He sat on the rocks, the warm light of the fire baking his muscles and making him feel extra comfortable.

"You seem to have something on your mind!" said Mina.

She placed the slender wooden skewer she had sharpened in her hand on the banana leaf, then picked up a large piece of white and tender crocodile meat, cut it into thin slices with a saber and interspersed it on the wooden skewer.

"It's not a big deal, but it looks like there's a delicious crocodile skewer tonight. Chasing the dragon said.

He couldn't help but think of the black venison skewers he had eaten at night in the Banyan Grove last time, but at this time he felt a little nostalgic in his heart.

"Of course!" said Mina. "They say that when a man's stomach is clogged, he tends to be more obedient. ”

"Probably, not all men's stomachs are easily clogged. Chasing the dragon said.

"Like you?" said Mina, smiling.

"Even if it's easy to get blocked, I won't obey, and that's probably what I am. Chasing the dragon said.

"I know!" said Mina. "No matter how delicious the crocodile skewers are, they won't be able to clog your stomach. No matter how touching things are, they can't warm your heart. ”

After Mai Na finished speaking, she stretched a skewer of cooked meat skewers with oil splashes to the mouth of Chasing Dragon.

"Oh!" Chasing Dragon took the meat skewer and ate it in a big bite.

"I also know that you have become a heartless person since you accepted this mission. Mina said lightly.

"You continue to ......" Chasing Long replied simply, and only cared about eating meat.

"You ......," Mina looked displeased.

"Smack!"

A crisp round of applause came.

Chasing the dragon was caught off guard and was punched and slapped, and his body fell to the side. Maina's strike was swift and swift, and the whole process was as short as lightning, and the small but powerful fists struck him in the shoulder, and in an instant a sharp soreness spread throughout his arm.

"Have you ever practiced boxing?" asked Chasing Long, not half annoyed in his heart.

"I've studied Japanese martial arts for several years, and I ask myself if I've done my best to you!" Mai Na said coldly.

"I admit it. Chasing the dragon replied.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the darkness......

The two stood up in unison, holding their pistols in their hands, their eyes back to back looking around the dark cave at the same time.

"Python?" said Mina.

"It's not like it, it's like some kind of bird flying. Chasing the dragon said.

For a moment, the sound grew louder and louder, and finally turned into a chirping sound.

"It's a bat!" Myna exclaimed.

"Don't be afraid, these giant bats are coming out of the nest to feed, and as far as I know they are Malayan flying foxes, with fox-like faces and mouths and ears like hounds, but they feed mainly on fruits. Chasing the dragon looked at the top of the cave and explained.

"They don't bite?" said Mina, frightened, and leaned close to the dragon.

"I can't guarantee that if they're hungry, they might bite. Chasing the dragon said.

Under the faint light of the fire, a group of black and crushed bats were passing over the cave, and a group of giant bats like a tide flew out from the end of the cave, and the scene was as imposing as a mountain and a sea.

Maina felt a shiver all over her body, and her hand holding the gun trembled.

Mina could see these giant bats clearly, each with outstretched wings about 2 meters wide, and their fat body looked like wingsuit pilots.

"Ah......h

"Bang!" followed by a gunshot.

Maina saw a giant Malayan flying fox, fluttering its wings and rushing towards her, frightened, she subconsciously screamed, raised her pistol and fired a shot at the giant bat.

After being shot in the body, the giant bat immediately fell sharply and fell in front of Myna. I saw that the bat's brown-black wings were staggered and orderly with a thumb-thick skeleton, the fox-like head was covered with black fluff, and a pair of black bright bulging eyes were embedded in the fur.

"Bang! bang!"

Mina was frightened and shot a few more times.

"What the hell is this place...... Let's go...... Okay?" said Mina, looking at the bloodstained giant bat on the ground in front of her, with a sad face.

"It's still raining outside, where can we go? Besides, there is a lot of danger outside, and when we leave this fire, we lose our vision, and we are blind compared to the beasts in the night. Chasing the dragon stretched out his hand to hug her and comforted her.

"I ......" Mina hid in his arms, wanting to pour out her inner anxiety, but she couldn't speak.

She felt that the arms that hugged her were like a fortress of safety, and her frightened heart gradually relaxed.

Not much.

The chirping sound faded away, and the giant bat had already set out to feed in the night.

Mina poked her little head out of his bosom and saw that the giant bat had left, so she let out a sigh of relief and sat down by the fire again.

"They'll be back tomorrow morning. Maina said with a sad face.

"Of course they will come back on time, because they don't like the sun, and it is their habit to stay day and night. Chasing the dragon said.

"I don't want to see these strange creatures again, if the rain stops, let's hurry as soon as possible and escape this mysterious rainforest as soon as possible. Mina said.

"I don't think so, the animals we are currently encountering are the lower animals in the biological world, and they are hardly much of a threat to us, if we run into ......" Chasing Long thought of her natural phobia of these strange creatures. At that moment, I wanted to tell those mysterious events, but then I stopped talking again.

"Are there any more terrifying creatures in this rainforest?" Myna asked, intriguing as she heard him say something else.

"No more. Chasing the dragon said.

"Today you meditate at the entrance of the cave, it means that there must be something else that worries you, you can tell ......" Mina couldn't wait to learn the secrets of this rainforest.

"You really want to know?"

"Yes. ”

"That's a horrific legend. ”

"It's okay, since I choose to accompany you on this path, I'm ready to face all the difficulties. ”

"Then lie on my chest, so that the fear of the night will be away from you, and you will sleep peacefully. Chasing the dragon said.

Mina shifted closer, resting her head on the lap where Dragon Chaser was sitting. The warm light of the fire reflected her fair and beautiful face, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the fear in her mind gradually disappeared......

"Many years ago...... "Chasing the dragon slowly said.
