Chapter 32: Greed
In the face of the marching ants like a tide, Lu Yuan could only dodge in a hurry.
He ducked into the ground as fast as he could, and for safety, he dived straight into the deepest depths he could reach.
A few minutes later, the 'black tide' rushed to the top of Lu Yuan's head, and there was a 'swish' sound in his ears, much like the sound of silkworms eating mulberry leaves that he heard in the silkworm house an hour later. But it gives people a sense of palpitations that shock the soul.
After more than half an hour, Lu Yuan found that the ant legion on the ground had moved away. That's when I dared to get out of the ground.
The whole forest felt as if it had been swung through by the scythe of death. The surrounding quiet ground left only piles of dry bones and faint traces of blood in the soil.
There has just been a tragic massacre here, and the murderer is a small ant that is usually inconspicuous.
The scene in front of him still touched Lu Yuan very much, which made him realize that even if the strength of an individual is small, as long as he has a sufficient number and can unite as one, he can burst out with endless power.
......
When Lu Yuan was walking towards his destination alone.
A well-armed contingent of mercenaries also entered the jungle of the Amazon.
The team was armed with machine guns, rifles, grenades, submachine guns, pistols, military daggers...... Wait, one of the mercenaries actually has a bazooka on his shoulder.
The mercenaries were hired by a newly registered python company, and their target was the forty-meter-long python that Lu Yuan had photographed.
The hired team is also elite, and they know very well what kind of weapons to use in different environments.
Tropical rainforests like the Amazon are lush and have little space. So in this environment, the role of small arms is even greater.
Normally, they would not carry large-caliber machine guns or full-powered rifles.
But this time the situation is different, their prey is a giant python with a body length of more than 40 meters, and judging from the video posted by Lu Yuan on the Internet.
This giant python is covered with hard scales, and its defense is obviously very amazing.
If only small arms are carried, it is difficult to cause serious damage to the python.
Carrying powerful firearms is also forced to do so. Carrying such a heavy weapon for a long journey through the rainforest made the group miserable.
However, thinking of the rich bounty this time, the group endured it silently.
This time, in order to capture the giant python, the employer offered a bounty of 100 million meters.
The leader of this team is William, who has a lot of experience in warfare, and he has 15 years of experience in special operations before becoming a mercenary.
"Oh, Shet...... Captain, why can't we go forward in a helicopter. It's such a dangerous place, I almost got bitten just now......" complained James, who was opening the way ahead.
"You idiot, you should be careful. We are here for the python, the helicopter movement is too big, once the python escapes, we will go there to find such a big rainforest when we arrive. ”
"That's a full 100 million meters, think about it, as long as we successfully complete the task, we will all become millionaires!"
"Yes, James. Listen to the captain, you coward, I think you should consider going back yourself. Haha......"
"Haha...... Haha......" The rest of the team laughed.
James said angrily, "Davis, you damn bastard, wait until you get bitten before you laugh at me......!"
As they went deeper into the rainforest, so did the dangers they encountered.
The mercenary group encountered caimans, piranhas, lotus birds, man-eating lotuses, forest pythons, and South American black panthers.
Danger is everywhere, and Davis, who mocks James, is the first to encounter bad luck when passing through a tributary of the Amazon River.
Poor Davis fell into the water in disbelief and was eventually besieged by a large school of piranhas, but in a matter of minutes, only a pile of bones was left to be eaten by the feared piranhas.
And James was not much better, he was also bitten by a poisonous snake, and he barely survived after being injected with serum.
After experiencing these dangerous events, the mercenary group has slowly realized that they have thought of this mission too simply.
The Amazon jungle is much more dangerous than the Kunlun jungle.
They have already regretted coming to the Amazon jungle. This place is so dangerous that if you are not careful, you will die here.
Countless animals and plants that cost human life are more terrible than the enemies they fought in war.
The enemy on the battlefield is visible and can be effectively defended.
But danger in the jungle is everywhere, and a small bug around you can easily kill you when you're not looking.
Animals and insects are not safe, and even plants are not unsafe.
On the seventh day of their entry into the rainforest, another member of the team died, and what killed him was a very beautiful-looking flower.
Death is all too common in this mysterious land.
It took the mercenary group another three days to come to a tributary of the Amazon.
During these three days, they were devastated, not only physically, but also psychologically.
Within three days, one of their team members was buried under the mouth of the blood frog. Before they saw the python, they were left with only 17 members.
However, they are worthy of the most elite mercenaries, and although they have been under the pressure of death, they still move forward in an orderly manner.
"Guys, according to the positioning, this is not far from the habitat of the python, big guys, work hard, and soon we can see a lot of money!"
Captain William shouted, "Okay, let's take a break." ”
"Martin, you go get the hovercraft in order first, and we'll cross the river after we've eaten." ”
According to the map route, you only need to cross this tributary and climb over two mountains to reach your destination.
Guys, I think you're all right! Think about the fact that we're all millionaires after this trip, and we'll be able to wash our hands in the future. ”
Martin inflated the hovercraft and finished eating with the crowd, after which they got on board and moved on.
The hovercraft floats on the river, and looking at both sides, the verdant and sparkling plants on the edge of the river are truly refreshing.
William said: "Guys, there are still quite a few indigenous tribes in the Amazon jungle. I wonder if we should go to them if there are indigenous people to lead the way. It can definitely reduce a lot of unnecessary hassles. ”
James said: "This is a good note, our map is too rough, many places are wrong, and it is best to find a native to lead the way." At least it's much safer!"
Others agreed.
After more than an hour, they reached the opposite shore. The group disembarked, checked their equipment, and prepared to move on.
Suddenly, a huge caiman burst out and bit Martin, who was packing up the boat.
"Ahh
As soon as the screams rang out, they stopped abruptly.
In this instant, Martin, who was still alive and kicking, was bitten in two by a crocodile.
The angry team members frantically pulled the trigger and beat the caiman into a hornet's nest.
But that didn't help, and Martin couldn't live anymore.
All of a sudden, the morale of the players fell into a state of decline again.
Captain William had to stand up at this point and say, "Okay, guys, it's time for us to hit the road, it's just an accident." ”
"As long as we find that giant python as soon as possible, we can get out of this hellish place as soon as possible, not to mention that there are huge rewards waiting for us, aren't we!"
Packing up, the mercenary group set off again, this time they were more vigilant.
What they didn't know was that when they first got off the ship, their fate was already sealed, and this place was really not where they should have come.
It took the mercenary group two days to finally approach their destination, during which they searched for the natives, but unfortunately, this area was a place of death in the eyes of the natives, and it was impossible for them to find the natives in this area.
"There are signs of broken trees here, and it looks like a large creature has come here......" William said with certainty, observing the broken trees.
"Damn! I hate it here!" James cursed.
"Captain, judging from these broken trees, this mysterious animal should be very large, and I think it must have been done by a giant python. ”
"Yes, yes, Charlie, you're right, think about the other big creatures in this place, there should be none, I seem to have seen green bills. James said with a grin.
The other team members were also in good spirits at this time. A smile appeared on his face again
William smiled faintly and said, "Let's go, my warriors!"
The members of the mercenary group were struggling to walk, crossing the ravines and through the jungles.
Half a day later, they finally climbed to the top of the mountain, but the scene that appeared in front of them stunned them.
The tall mountains, as if they had been split in half with a knife, revealed a huge rift in the middle.
"The power of nature is beyond the reach of human beings!"
If you want to reach the swamp in Lu Yuan's video, you must first pass through this rift.
To cross this rift, the mercenary group must first descend to the bottom of the rift.
Although the cliff was not easy to descend, fortunately, they had prepared and took out the paratrooper rope, and William, as the captain, was the first to walk to the edge of the cliff, tied the rope and prepared to go down......
Suddenly, there was a hissing sound from under the cliff.
The sound of "hiss~" came from far and near, making people feel a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
William poked his head out curiously and looked down at the bottom of the cliff......
"Oh God!"
He quickly fell backwards, and in panic he fell to the ground, his face completely frightened.
The other team members were also shocked by William's appearance.
They had never seen their captain so cowardly.
Surprised, they wanted to see what was under the cliff. They stuck their heads out and looked down the cliff.
At a glance, a gasping exclamation sounded!
"Oh God......"
