Chapter 613: The Core Area of ??the Dead Mountains
The Black Mountain Snake took a deep breath.
"There's only one reason why they don't come down." After saying this, he paused and said, "That's because they don't dare to come down."
"A species that dares to hit even a helicopter, what else can it not dare to do?"
When Ajiu said this, he seemed to have thought of something. He frowned slightly, raised his head and looked around.
Dark clouds shrouded the head, and the forest was as quiet as death. There was no breath of life, and it was eerie and terrifying.
Montenegro Snake put on his headphones and looked at the people around him.
"As for the Death Mountain area, I introduced it to everyone before coming here, so I won't emphasize it again."
"From now on, everyone obeys my orders and does not act without authorization!"
"The correspondent adjusted the communication equipment and reported the situation to the headquarters base. The remaining personnel gathered quickly. We went to the target point first and set up a safe area to prepare for a temporary rest."
Wang Xiao and his group of more than 20 people quickly got busy. Everyone was fully armed and carried logistical supplies on their backs. They formed a defensive formation and protected Li Lejin, Xuanxuan, and Ajiu in the middle.
Ajiu holds various devices such as GPS and compass in her hands and is responsible for guiding the way.
Wang Xiao is a free man in the team. He can do whatever he wants. He stood with the communications soldiers, looking worried.
"what happened?"
"There is no signal here and there is no way to contact the outside world."
"Military communication equipment also has no signal?"
"Yes." The correspondent sighed, "I had heard of the name of Death Mountain before I came here. Looking at it, it is indeed well-deserved. But why is this? It is not in line with scientific principles! There was a signal on the helicopter just now,
It’ll be gone when it comes down!”
"Then what do we do?"
"I can only find the commanding heights and try again in the open air!"
The Black Mountain Snake stood directly in front of the team, concentrating on it and looking around.
As he was walking, he suddenly stopped and pointed at the charming and beautiful plants not far away.
"Stay away from the plants over there and go this way."
The whole team continued to move forward, and before they had gone far, the woods directly in front of them became pitch black.
Although they were covered in thick fog, at least they could still see light, but directly in front of them, it was pitch black, and they couldn't even see the road ahead clearly without using a flashlight.
Including the Black Mountain Snake, no one present had ever seen such a weird natural phenomenon.
Logically speaking, even if the branches and leaves are thick and the sunlight is blocked, it is impossible to directly change the interior of the forest from day to night.
Even though there is still moonlight in the dark night, the front is indeed like a dark and confined space, which makes people shudder.
There was no other way, the whole team could only stop temporarily.
It's pitch black ahead, you can't see the leader behind, and there are piranha flowers on both sides. This is really difficult to handle.
The GPS in Ajiu's hand has also completely failed, and she can only rely on the compass to determine the direction.
"Ebony, what should we do?"
"The safe zone you planned before must go beyond this forest, right?"
"Yes, if you continue walking in this direction, you will probably be able to get out within a hundred meters. But this situation is too weird!"
Wang Xiao was a little confused.
"What if we find a way around it?"
"That will add a lot of distance and create more uncertainties!"
Xuanxuan stood in the crowd.
"From a zoological and botanical point of view, if you go around, you will encounter more dangers, and if you continue forward, you will encounter greater dangers. The choice is more, or greater."
"Why do you say that?"
"We are now in the territory of ferocious beasts, not just ordinary ferocious beasts."
Xuanxuan squatted on the ground, holding a ruler and measuring a huge paw print on the ground.
"The piranha flowers on both sides are called Rafflesia Manila. This kind of piranha flower has extremely strict requirements on the living environment!"
"Under normal light exposure, a fully bloomed Manila Rafflesia will wither in four days!"
"But look at so many Rafflesias on both sides of the surrounding area! When they are fully in bloom, not only do they not wither, but they are also clustered together in patches, and their growth is so exaggerated! That means that this place does not see sunlight all year round.
."
"Although the flowers of Rafflesia are large, its seeds are very tiny and sticky, making them almost difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. However, there is still considerable controversy in the scientific community as to how Rafflesia seeds are spread."
"But if the Rafflesia flowers are allowed to grow in this environment without light exposure, the entire forest should be filled with Rafflesia flowers, not just on these two sides!"
Xuanxuan has extremely rich experience. Word by word.
"Why are there no other animals here? Because all animals that enter here are swallowed by the Rafflesia."
"Why are the Rafflesia flowers only on the sides and not in the middle aisle?"
"That's because there is a gharial in this forest. The gharial is the natural enemy of the Rafflesia. His hard skin and huge size can completely suppress the devouring of the Rafflesia. Similarly, when the gharial is hungry and eager,
Under certain circumstances, they will eat Rafflesia flowers."
The gharial is one of the largest crocodiles in the world. It has a slender body, olive green color, particularly slender upper and lower jaws, and sharp teeth.
"There is a crocodile hidden in the woods. Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"
"Isn't there too much exaggeration here? Have you ever seen a crow as big as its head?"
Zheng Qingquan was choked and stopped talking.
Xuanxuan stared at Wang Xiao.
"The only weakness of the gharial is in the armpits of its limbs. There are four main blood vessels in the armpits of their limbs connected to their hearts. If you want to kill the gharial, you have to find a way to burst the blood vessels in the armpits of the limbs."
"Sister, the animals in the Death Mountain are different from the animals outside. They are all mutated."
"No matter how mutated, the heart must beat to maintain life, right? The position of the heart cannot be changed randomly, right?"
Wang Xiao's eyes flickered, he thought for a moment, and then raised his hand to signal.
"Everyone, be careful, let's go!"
Everyone raised their weapons, turned on their flashlights, and ran toward the dark woods on full alert.
The woods were quieter and more eerie than outside. There was a stench of blood and decay everywhere, which was disgusting.
After walking only a few steps, the Black Mountain Snake stopped first and looked up at the top of its head.
When the captain stopped, everyone also stopped and raised their heads together.
At this moment, everyone took a breath of cold air.
Everyone finally understood why it was so dark inside and it was hard to see.
In the area above their heads, densely packed bats hung on the trees with their wings spread out, resting, blocking out the sky and the sun.
Zheng Qingquan, a vicious and vicious person, couldn't bear it anymore and felt his scalp numb.
"Damn it, what the hell is this place!"
The helicopter pilot beside Zheng Qingquan.
Faced with such an overwhelming sense of depression and suffocation again, I was completely distracted.
Suddenly, there was a loud roar.
"Everyone, be careful!!"
The two Jinhu Special Forces soldiers at the front of the team immediately retreated and spread out, took out their submachine guns and started shooting.
The other personnel reacted very quickly. While retreating, they took out their weapons and fired.
It was too dark and I couldn't see clearly what it was.
Just as he watched, a huge black shadow roared towards him, its bloody mouth flashed past, and the driver was bitten into the mouth by the mutated gharial.
The sound of "Gaba~" was clean and crisp.
As blood spattered, the driver's body split into two.
The moment the second half of the body fell from the crocodile's mouth, blood flowed freely.
The fresh and pungent smell of blood caused countless sleeping bats to suddenly open their eyes and rush towards the corpse.
It was eating like a storm, and no bones of the driver were left.
The moment the gharial turned around, its thick tail rose into the air. The two Jinhu Special Forces soldiers were unable to dodge and were hit hard by the tail. One of them flew more than ten meters away and fell directly into the Rafflesia bushes.
, was instantly swallowed up by the Rafflesia flower, without even a chance to scream for help.
The other one had better luck and hit a big tree hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood and landed directly on the ground.
Almost at the same time, all the sleeping bats above his head were awakened by the smell of blood again, and pounced directly on the man's face, making noisy bat noises, and the man's brief cry of extreme pain.
His entire head was completely eaten by these bats in an instant. As more and more blood flowed from his body, more and more bats swarmed towards him, and the eating became more and more fierce.
The ferocious gharial didn't care about anything else and pounced on the crowd again.
"Everyone retreat!! Get out!!! Don't get hurt!"
Everyone quickly ran and retreated while frantically pulling the trigger.
The gharial, which is nearly three meters long and can hold up half the head of an ordinary person with one claw, stalks after him.
All the bullets fired at the gharial had no effect.
This mutated big guy seems to be invulnerable.
Although it is huge in size, it moves extremely fast.
In the chaos, another helicopter pilot accidentally fell to the ground.
At the moment when it had just climbed up, the gharial swung its big claws forward and knocked it down to the ground. With its sharp teeth and bloody mouth, it went up in one bite and bit it off at the waist. It raised its head and swallowed the helicopter pilot alive. At the same time, the top of his head was
