Chapter 34: Tropical Rainforest, Wandering Village

It was cloudy, and the clouds were gray.

Chasing the dragon carried her through the rainforest, following the compass N in the direction of his watch, and in a short time they had passed through a field of tall, lush evergreen broadleaf plants, his steps slow and heavy.

Although they have finally escaped from the cannibal lair, anyone who escapes from danger will feel lucky.

But his steps were heavy, his mood was heavy, and his expressionless face seemed to bear inexplicable sadness. Because she was injured, and it wasn't light.

Mina lay in his arms, opened her eyes and whispered, "Let me down......"

She thought to herself that she must have been tired from chasing the dragon all the way and walking non-stop for most of the day, and her expressionless face looked heavy, perhaps the long and bloody battle with the dwarf savages for several days also made him physically and mentally exhausted.

"You're not lightly injured, can you?" said Chasing Dragon.

"It should work. Mina nodded.

When her feet touched the bottom and her whole body stood alone, a sharp pain instantly spread from her chest to her whole body, and she involuntarily reached out to cover her chest. I saw beads of sweat oozing from her red and swollen cheeks and forehead.

"At the moment you need to rest and recuperate. After chasing the dragon, his right hand was on her waist and walked towards the open area.

"Looks like I've got internal injuries, but it's good that my sternum isn't broken, otherwise it's terrible! Damn little dwarfs!" said Myna. She knew that the pain in her chest was caused by being hit the trunk of a tree during the battle with the gnome savage, so she couldn't help but hate the dwarf savage.

"You have pity on you just for the last slash?" said Mina.

"They are fierce and violent by nature and have no conscience, and they really deserve to die!" said Chasing Dragon.

"But I see you didn't kill it in the end. Mina said.

"Because I saw it cry!"

"That's all?" said Myna, puzzled.

"That's all!"

"Perhaps it understands that the merciless scythe will take its life......! And it is powerless to protect the race! Its tears seem to reveal this sadness and helplessness. Chasing the dragon said.

"They have feelings, too!" said Maina.

"Otherwise, how can we leave calmly!" said Chasing Dragon with a smile.

In a moment, Chasing Dragon helped her to a clean and open place not far away to sit down.

It was noon, and after a fierce battle in the morning, and then miles away. At this time, the two of them had been on an empty stomach for a long time, and their stomachs were already growling.

"Sit down for a moment...... I'm looking for something to eat nearby!" said Chasing Dragon.

"Okay...... There shouldn't be any giant beasts around here. Mina said.

Chasing the dragon walked a short distance and slashed at a wrist-thick branch, then sharpened one end of the trunk into the shape of a pen.

"You keep this scythe for self-defense. The dragon chaser then handed the jet-black scythe over.

"You need a scythe to hunt for self-defense...... Keep it for yourself. Mina said.

"Don't I still have this sharp pole?, any beast that dares to offend and provoke will regret their ignorance at the cost of blood!" said the chasing dragon.

"Alright!" said Mina.

The dragon strode towards the forest, searching for an eyeless creature that would crash into him, so that the sharp rod in his hand that was already ready to shoot would instantly pierce its head, and eventually their flesh would be used to wrap its belly.

He searched the forest, but there was no sign of life on the ground except for tall trees.

Just when he was disappointed, good fortune crept in, and he stumbled upon a familiar tree species at the end of his vision.

Mango......

He was overjoyed to find what he saw, and he ran to the bottom of the tree, where green mangoes in the shape of kidneys hung high on the branches, and rows of huge fruits bent the branches.

He took off his camouflage uniform and spread it on the ground, leaving only a close-fitting short sleeve on his upper body, and then climbed up the tree in three or two steps, the whole set of movements was flexible and light like a wild monkey.

Not long after, a bunch of green mangoes were packed and brought back by him in camouflage uniforms.

"Hi Maina...... Look what this is!" Chasing Dragon said as he walked up to her.

"Yours ...... That's enough mangoes for two days!" said Myna.

Maina took a hard bite into the peeled mango, the green mango was not ripe and the taste was even more sour, but she still had a smile on her face at the moment.

"Let's set ......off as soon as possible after eating," Chailong said.

He knew that although he had fled the most dangerous area, the situation in front of him did not allow them to be optimistic. They had no guns or weapons to defend themselves against, and Manna was seriously wounded. Once you encounter the ferocious beasts of the rainforest, the results are even more unpredictable!

Fire, a necessity for the survival of the rainforest.

They couldn't make a fire without bullets, most of the animals in the rainforest had to be roasted and eaten, and he was even more worried about the night. At that time, they will lose their vision and safety barrier, and Chasing Dragon will feel even heavier when he thinks about this.

"Do you have a lot of worries?" said Myna, looking at him.

"Yes......" Chasing Long said calmly.

"You don't have to say that I can guess that we have lost what we need to survive, and that I have become a burden to you with my injuries...... You're going to be angry with me?" said Mina.

"You are my good companion, and I will surely advance and retreat with you, and live and die together. Chasing the dragon said.

"Good buddy......" Mina said with a faint smile.

"Let's go...... While it was still early, we found a safe and secure place to rest. Chasing the dragon said.

He pulled out his binoculars and surveyed the terrain ahead, which was connected to a hill at the end of the forest. The mountains are full of low deciduous trees, which contrast with the evergreen broad-leaved plants of the forest below. The scene in front of him made him feel slightly surprised.

"Could it be that you're about to get out of the rainforest?" said Chasing Dragon.

All he remembers stepping into the rainforest from the banks of the Mekong River half a month ago, and Thailand is behind the rainforest, following the compass in a predetermined direction. After walking all the way for so many days, he couldn't remember exactly how many miles he had traveled.

At that moment, he held Maina's thin waist with his right hand, and walked towards the forest heights in front of him with a large bag of green mangoes in his right hand......

As soon as Mina took a few steps, she felt the meridians in her chest pull into her lower limbs, and a wave of pain hit her. For this reason, she had to slow down, clenching her teeth and enduring the pain along the way.

"You've never suffered such a sin in your life, have you!" said Chasing the Dragon as he walked.

"Seems to be...... Even if I had been killed, it was only in that massacre, but it was when I was a child, and what could I do in the face of pain but cry? and the painful memories will be deeply imprinted in my heart......" Mina asked rhetorically. "What about you?"

"I don't remember exactly, but I kept repeating myself anyway, and then I got used to it. Chasing the dragon said.

They went on until the sun went down in the west, and the sky was full of glow, and there were patches of fiery clouds. Immediately after the rolling hills were revealed, they walked slowly through the bushes towards the hilly highlands.

After a short time, they ascended the hilly heights, and a puff of cooking smoke rose in front of them, and white smoke appeared over the fields.

"Look...... There are villages down the hill, and there are fields over there!" said Mina, as if she had discovered a paradise.

"I guess it's in Thailand!" said Chailong.

"We can rest for a while. Mina said.

"Oh......," she sighed again.

"What's wrong...... Still not comfortable after escaping the rainforest?" quipped.

"We don't have a penny on us...... People still think we're beggars! Who will take us in?" said Myna with a frown.

"It's better to be in an advanced village than to stay in a rainforest infested with wild beasts. Chasing the dragon said.

At that moment, he put on his camouflage uniform and helped Mina towards the village at the foot of the mountain......

"Is there really someone wearing camouflage uniforms as a beggar?" said Chasing Long with a smile.

"There may not have been a ...... before There seem to be two of them now!" said Mina, with the same smile.

Chasing the dragon trekked all the way from the rainforest, the camouflage uniform was already full of big holes and small holes, and the whole face was also dusty. And Maina's originally fair and beautiful face was now bruised and swollen, and she was injured all over, as if she had lost a fight very badly.

Whoever sees them will feel like a beggar.

The two walked to the foot of the mountain, and the village in front of them was in the middle of the basin and surrounded by mountains, with dozens of wooden houses concentrated on one side of the field.

When Chasing Long got closer, he realized that each house was made of bamboo, and it was two meters above the ground. He wanted to build it this way to keep the house dry and keep out snakes and beasts, which was a double win.

"These houses are so much fun to build!" said Myna, looking around.

"These people have lived here for generations, so naturally they have their own customs and habits, and you can see that those gray old houses are obviously some years old!" said Chasing Long.

"Wang ...... Woo ......"

A dog barked......

In a moment, the two big yellow dogs ran up to the chasing dragon, scratching their four claws and barking desperately......

Kania ...... Let's see who's coming outside?" a woman's voice came from inside the room.

In a moment, a tall girl in a dark dress walked out of the bamboo house, and when she saw Chasing Long and Mai Na, her eyes lit up, and her body was stunned!

Chasing Dragon saw that she was very surprised, and immediately explained, "Hello...... We came here from the rainforest, so don't be afraid that we have no ill will. Chasing the dragon communicated with her in Thai, for fear that this embarrassed appearance would scare the simple girl in front of her.

"You...... You're really out of the rainforest! Are you soldiers in camouflage uniforms?" Kania asked with a wink of curiosity.

Chasing the dragon has lived in Southeast Asia for many years, and has carried out many missions in Thailand, and now speaks fluent Thai, Kaniya believes a little.

"We're not soldiers, it's a long story, and next to us are my friends...... Maina, she is currently injured and needs help. Chasing the dragon said sincerely.

"This ...... I'm going to ask my mother. Kania clearly saw that they had nowhere to go at this time, and wanted to spend the night.

"What a smart boy!" said Mina with a smile.

"How...... Do you understand Thai?" said Chasing Dragon.
