There were four people on the boat, two obviously dressed as local residents and the other two were outsiders.
This is a temporary team formed due to business cooperation.
Eja, one of the natives standing on the bow of the boat, is the leader of this operation.
Compared with Sulem's tribe, Eja's tribe has more contact with the outside world, maintains more frequent business contacts, has more advantages in language adaptation, and is a tribe with a strong sense of modernity.
Oh, it's called a village now.
The main source of income in their village is completely different from that in Sulam. The village in Sulam is mainly about pig raising, with planting or other supplements.
And Eja's village is for raising swallows.
Eja's parents have been "bird's nest hunters" for generations, specializing in finding bird's nests in the rainforest and selling them to merchants.
Every year, many businessmen from far away spend a lot of money to buy the golden bird's nests here. Their tribe is good at collecting bird's nests.
Before the abnormal climate period, they mainly went to nature and looked for bird's nests in caves in the rainforest.
After the abnormal climate period, control became stricter, and some villagers were unwilling to take risks in the rainforest caves. It was a gamble, and the amount of collection was not large. Due to various factors, artificial breeding gradually emerged.
.
Now the villager in their village is a swallow farmer, and they have built a swallow house in an enclosed area very close to the village to safely obtain a larger amount of nests.
Some factories will come to them to purchase, and business has been good.
Now that there is a safer way and a lot of money can be made, the new young people in the village are not willing to go into the rainforest to gamble their lives.
However, this time they ventured into the rainforest, a big businessman placed an order with them, specifying that they wanted wild bird's nests, and they had to be bird's nests from a large cave deep in the rainforest, for which they were willing to pay a large sum of money.
Eja had some financial needs recently, so he found another person in the village, and the two families jointly took over the order.
So there is now the temporarily formed Bird's Nest team - Eja, a villager, and two adventurers sent by the businessman. This four-person team set out from the village and entered the rainforest by waterway.
"It is rumored that because this place is so beautiful, the gods liked it so much that they sent monsters to guard it before leaving!" Eja said, looking at the woods on both sides.
An adventurer answered: "Are the monsters you are talking about - lizards with huge claws like raptors, flexible and long tails like steel whips, and ferocious and terrifying looks? They are really weird, and they really don't pick anything.
Ah, I will eat any food that can fit in my mouth! Even poisonous!"
Eja shook his head and said, "I mean Naboo!"
The adventurer wondered: "Who is Naboo?"
Eja's eyes were far-reaching: "Naboo is a terrifying giant snake. It is thirty meters long! It has seven nostrils!"
The two adventurers chuckled.
God, these natives are so good!
This group of people like to blow up pythons that are six to seven meters tall and blow them down to twenty or thirty meters. In the past, when newspapers only relied on newspapers to spread information, there were many data falsifications. Some so-called researchers came here to take photos and then falsified the data.
Even now with the development of Internet information, there are still a group of video makers living in tropical areas who use the visual deception caused by the shooting angle to blow a five- to six-meter python into a dozen meters!
Not to mention the length.
An adventurer smiled and coughed lightly: "Is it possible that the exaggerated statement of seven nostrils is actually the three pairs of heat-sensing lip sockets of the python?"
It’s so funny, those stupid natives!
Only these natives would believe this exaggerated legend! But there is no need to continue arguing on this topic.
After all, these natives were still needed to help find things, so the two adventurers quickly changed the topic.
The trip was a bit boring, so the four members of the team found something to talk about, but soon they couldn't be so leisurely anymore.
The afternoon rain interrupted their leisurely pace, and they had to stop on the shore to wait for the heavy rain to pass.
After putting the boat away, I took a look at the recent
That mountain was far away from them, and it was also one of the goals of this trip.
The mountain seemed close, but it was actually quite a long distance to walk there. The weather was not suitable for traveling in this kind of weather. They also carried rock climbing equipment, which was not light. They could only wait until the heavy rain stopped before setting off.
However, while they were waiting, they did not stay in a daze. Instead, they discussed their next trip. After picking out the bird's nests here, which route should they take to the next destination?
Should we continue by water or by land?
There are differences in the team.
The second target location is not too far from the first.
The natives wanted to take the water route, which was faster and easier. They had made the trip many times.
But the businessmen wanted to take the land route. They knew that it was really uncomfortable on land, and the wet and muddy environment was very annoying, but they were practical! Moreover, to get to the second destination, they had to walk through a wild river, and there were ferocious crocodiles in this river!
It's so big! If any of the crocodiles goes crazy, can their little broken boat be able to carry it? If it loses its balance and falls into the water, it will be a disaster!
The dispute failed, and the heavy rain had stopped. They decided to run to the first stop first. But because of this dispute, the atmosphere in the team was a bit weird.
The indigenous people feel that "you outsiders know nothing".
The adventurer believes that this trip has a mission, not an ordinary adventure trip. Safety must come first. The employer only paid the deposit and will pay the rest after the mission is completed. It has just started now, so don’t stop here.
In a strange team atmosphere, they still completed the collection task at the first destination, and while walking down the mountain, they discussed whether to row a boat.
An adventurer was distracted and accidentally slipped to the side. Eja rushed over to catch him and pulled him back. However, Eja had even worse luck and fell off the cliff. Fortunately, there was a river below, not a cliff.
Extremely high.
The bad thing is, there are crocodiles in the river.
Eja knew that there were giant killers lurking in this river that cut off the jungle. The sound of him falling into the water spread through the water. Those ambush killers would soon come looking for the sound, so he had to get ashore as soon as possible!
But there was a cliff on one side and he couldn't climb up. He had to swim forward for a while. When he was about to swim over there, he discovered ripples in the water and a crocodile swimming over there.
Without any delay, Eja decisively changed direction and decided to swim to the other side. Two crocodiles were chasing after him, and Eja was swimming very fast. In the end, he was lucky enough to reach the opposite bank first and quickly moved away from this dangerous area.
Hearing the whistle blown by his companion, knowing that the other party would come to him soon, he whistled back.
The crocodiles in the river are still wandering around.
Eja was also puzzled.
He has been in this river many times by boat, but the crocodile he encountered today seemed to be particularly grumpy.
Has anything affected their mood?
No matter what, in this case, it is still risky for the companions to row over immediately. It is estimated that the companions will wait until the crocodiles calm down or leave the place before the companions come over.
It's okay, he is the brave Eja!
Even if you live alone in the rainforest for a month, there will be no problem!
While waiting for his companions to come over, as a native, Eja's living skills in the rain forest are much better than those of outsiders.
Avoid plants with barbs and sharp thorns, as well as poisonous insects that can injure him.
Find food and use herbs to disinfect wounds and stop bleeding.
In the process of finding food and herbs, he will also leave a small part of the food and herbs.
Choose a location, insert a tree stick on the ground, split a few forks on the stick, and clamp the leaves wrapped with a little food and herbs on it in turn, clamping something on each fork. Finally, fold the leaves to represent some kind of
The shape of the message is clamped on the top of the stick.
&nbssp;This is how they have conveyed messages in the rainforest for thousands of years.
He wants to tell his companions: I am still alive and eating, but I was a little injured and nothing serious.
After leaving the message, Eja found a place to rest.
"As I get older, I just compete with a crocodile and I feel exhausted.
But it’s okay, I am the brave Eja!”
Half an hour later.
The brave Eja found that his wound was still infected.
I was accidentally bitten by a poisonous insect.
My head feels a little dizzy.
But it's okay. Look at the time, his companions will be here soon. They also brought medicine with them on this trip, and they will be fine after taking the medicine.
The sky is getting dark gradually.
The ground was dangerous. Eja wanted to climb up the tree, but he had no strength.
Weakness in limbs.
So Eja found a place where it was convenient to light a fire, did some processing, and lit a fire with the fire-making device he brought with him.
Their ancestors would also light fires to roast food when hunting in the jungle. When learning these skills, their ancestors would also teach them how to use fire safely.
Looking at the fire, Eja recalled the jungle skills taught to them by the old men.
rustle
rustle
There seemed to be footsteps approaching.
Why do you say "seems"?
Because it didn't sound like simple footsteps, it seemed like something was dragging on the ground.
people?
Beast?
Eja approached the fire and pulled out the dagger he carried with him.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Eja shook his slightly dizzy head and paid close attention to the approaching sounds.
He heard that someone must be dragging something
…
Wow, wow –
The branches of the plants swayed, and a figure walked out of the bushes in front. Under the dim firelight, the figure gradually became clearer.
one person?
There was a giant python wrapped around the human body, and there were four, five, six or seven venomous snakes.
The other party's eyes reflected the firelight, but they seemed not to feel any warmth at all.
Eja's eyesight went straight.
The dagger fell to the ground and his lips trembled:
"God, God!!!"
The upright Feng Yi: "..."
Feng Yi had long known through scent information that there was a human here, and that the situation was not good.
But there is not a strong smell of blood. In all aspects.
Maybe they were indigenous people, and they even lit a fire.
So he decided to come and have a look.
Originally, he could have thrown away all the snakes on his body, but he didn't do that in the end.
First, because these snakes were thrown aside, they might have run away when he came back. Feng Yi had made a decision when he caught them. He would put them back wherever he caught them, and he couldn't let them run away casually!
Secondly, Feng Yi had an idea. He wanted to see how the natives would react if he went out with this appearance. Anyway, he didn’t show his tail, so he wasn’t afraid to look!
Then we waited for the scene in front of us.
What's going on with you natives?
How come your first thought is about gods, ghosts and demons?!
Before Feng Yi could say anything, Aijia knelt down beside the fire and fell to the ground! He was saying words that Feng Yi couldn't understand.
There was no way, the other person spoke too fast, his accent was too thick, and Feng Yi couldn't understand him well.
However, the emotional information Feng Yi received through perception contained strong fear, fear, and an inexplicable excitement.
Oh, do you really think you saw some supernatural creature?
It just so happened that Feng Yi wanted to take this opportunity to refute the rumors!
Let the other party know that you are a snake charmer and snake catching expert who came to the rainforest for inspection and is certified by the Joint Protection Bureau!
"you"
As soon as Feng Yi opened his mouth, the other party turned aside.
Passed out.
Feng Yi was silent.
I checked the man's physical condition. Fortunately, there are no major problems for the time being. The indigenous people's physical fitness is indeed very strong, and they are better able to adapt to the climate and environment here. However, the indigenous people should be sent out as soon as possible.
Judging from the smell, this person must have an accomplice.
Feng Yi first placed the man in a safer lying position.
position, and then touch your fingers to the ground.
Some deterrent odor information substances are emitted from the fingertips.
Feng Yi drew a circle on the ground and trapped the man inside to prevent him from falling asleep and becoming the excrement of wild beasts.
A fire may not be everything.
Afterwards, Feng Yi returned the snakes of all sizes to their original places, and then used the scent information to find the aboriginal companions to see where the gang was.
Yes, Feng Yi had smelled the scent of at least three people from this injured native.
It’s easy to find someone.
Judging from the smell that the man came from the river, Feng Yi started looking for him from the river.
It didn't take long for Feng Yi to find the boat coming across the river.
Feng Yi had no intention of showing up at first. With the efficiency of these people, they should soon find his lost companion. After all, the fire was lit.
If there is nothing you need help with, just leave quietly.
After watching for less than a minute, Feng Yi took action.
What's going on with these crocodiles?
Why are you so fierce?
On the small boat, the three-person mission team was tense.
They had been waiting for an opportunity to row over, but the crocodiles were wandering on the river like crazy, and two of them even started fighting.
Waiting until night, they discovered the fire in the jungle opposite. They sent out a whistle message, but the other party did not respond. Maybe they were not in good health and they had to get there as soon as possible.
The river calmed down and they didn't see the crocodiles before they took action. Unexpectedly, not long after the boat was rowed out, the crocodiles surrounded them.
An adventurer used a paddle to beat the crocodile away, but the crocodile became more aggressive and tried to attack.
Just when they were thinking about the danger of this trip and whether to retreat first, the crocodiles surrounding them changed.
Another native on the boat was more sensitive to the surroundings. He found that the crocodiles were not reacting properly and their attacks were not so fierce. It seemed that something was driving them away.
He held a flashlight and shined the light, but he only saw dark shadows swimming underwater.
He was completely frightened
Another explorer shouted his name loudly before he came back to his senses.
But at this time, the dark shadow like a giant snake that I saw just now kept flashing in my mind!
Obviously, in the short period of time just now, he only saw a very vague shadow, but everything had been completed in his mind.
"Naboo! It's Naboo!!!"
"The ultimate evil beast sent by the gods to guard the rainforest!"
Feng Yi, who had already swam ashore, hid and paid close attention secretly:???
