Chapter 413: Evil Beast

In the long river flowing through the rainforest.

A small boat moves forward along the water.

There are four people on the boat, two of whom are obviously dressed as local residents, and the other two are outsiders.

This is a team formed temporarily for business cooperation.

Eja, one of the natives standing at the bow, is the leader of this operation.

Compared with Suleim's tribe, Eja's tribe has more contact with the outside world, maintains more frequent business exchanges, has more advantages in language adaptation, and is a tribe with a stronger sense of modernity.

Oh, now it is called a village.

The main source of income for their village is completely different from that of Suleim.

Suleim's village is mainly raising pigs, supplemented by planting or other things.

And Eja's village is raising swallows.

Eja's parents and their generation are all "bird's nest hunters", specializing in finding bird's nests in the rainforest and selling them to merchants who buy them.

Every year, many merchants from afar pay a lot of money to buy the golden swiftlet 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 the caves of the rainforest.

After the abnormal climate period, the control was stricter, and some villagers were unwilling to take risks in the rainforest caves, which was a gamble, and the collection volume was not large. Due to various factors, artificial breeding gradually emerged.

Now the villagers in their village are mainly bird farmers, and they build bird's nest houses in a place very close to the village to safely obtain a larger amount of bird's nests.

Some factories will look for them to purchase, and the business has been good.

Since there is a safer way and the money earned is not small, the newly grown young people in the village are not willing to go into the rainforest to gamble their lives.

However, this time they went into the rainforest for adventure, a big businessman came to them to place an order, specifying that they wanted wild bird's nests, and they had to be bird's nests in a big cave deep in the rainforest, and they were willing to pay a large sum of money for it.

Eja recently had some funding needs, so he found another person in the village, and the two families took over the order together.

So there is this temporary bird's nest team - Eja and a villager, and two adventurers sent by the businessman. The four-man team set out from the village and took the water route into the rainforest.

"It is rumored that because this place is too beautiful, the gods like it very much, so they sent monsters to guard it before leaving!" Eja said, looking at the woods on both sides.

An adventurer continued: "Are the monsters you are talking about those - lizards with huge claws shaped like birds of prey, flexible and slender tails like steel whips, and ferocious and terrifying appearances? They are indeed very strange, and they really don't pick anything. They will eat anything that can be put into their mouths! Even poisonous!"

Eja shook his head and said: "I'm talking about Nabu!"

The adventurer was curious: "Who is Nabu?"

Eja looked far-sighted: "Nabu is a terrifying giant snake, it is 30 meters long! Seven nostrils!"

Two adventurers laughed.

Oh my God, these natives are so boastful!

These people like to blow up six or seven-meter pythons into 20 or 30 meters. In the past, when information was only spread by newspapers, there were many cases of data fraud. Some so-called researchers came here to take pictures and then falsify 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 up the five or six-meter python into more than ten meters!

Let’s not talk about 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 pits of the python?"

It’s so funny, those brainless natives!

Only these natives would believe such exaggerated legends! But there is no need to continue arguing about this topic.

After all, these natives are still needed to help find things, and the two adventurers quickly changed the topic.

The itinerary was a bit boring, and the four members of the team found topics to chat, but soon they couldn’t be so leisurely.

The afternoon rain interrupted their leisurely rhythm, and they had to dock and rest until the rainstorm passed.

After putting the boat away, they looked at the distance from the nearest mountain to them, which was also one of the goals of this trip.

The mountain looks close, but it is actually a long distance to walk there. This kind of weather is not suitable for traveling. They also carried rock climbing equipment, which is not light. They could only set off after the rainstorm stopped.

However, during the waiting period, they did not stay in a daze, but discussed the next itinerary. After taking out the bird's nest here, which route should they take to the next target location?

Should they continue to take the waterway or the land route?

The team had a disagreement.

The second target location was not too far from the first one.

The natives wanted to take the waterway, which was faster and easier. They had been back and forth many times.

But the merchants wanted to take the land route. They knew that it was really uncomfortable on land. The wet and muddy environment was very annoying, but it was practical! Moreover, to go to the second target location, they had to take a wild river. There were ferocious saltwater crocodiles in this river! They were big! If any saltwater crocodile went crazy, could their small broken boat withstand it? If they fell into the water, they would die!

The dispute was unsuccessful and the rainstorm had stopped. They decided to run the first stop first.

But it was precisely because of this dispute that the atmosphere in the team was a little weird.

The natives felt that "you outsiders know nothing."

The adventurer, however, believed that this trip was a mission, not an ordinary adventure trip, and safety must be the first priority. The employer had only paid a deposit, and would pay the rest after the mission was completed. Now that they had just begun, they didn't want to fail here.

In a strange team atmosphere, they still completed the collection task at the first destination. As they walked 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 was heard in 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.

Just as he was about to swim there, he spotted 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 a fast swimmer. Fortunately, he reached the opposite river bank first and quickly moved away from the dangerous area.

Eja heard the whistle blown by his companion and knew that the other party would come to him soon, so he whistled back.

The crocodiles in the river are still hanging 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, there is still a certain risk for the companions to row over immediately. It is estimated that the companions will wait until the crocodiles calm down or leave here 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 spikes, 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 would also set aside a small portion of the food and herbs.

Choose a location, insert a tree stick on the ground, split a few forks on the stick, and clamp leaves wrapped with a little food and herbs on it in turn, and clamp something on each fork. Finally, the leaves are folded into a shape that represents a certain message and clamped to the top of the stick.

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 am a little injured, nothing serious.

Leaving the message behind, Eja looked for a place to rest.

"I'm getting older. I just competed with a crocodile and I actually felt weak. But it's okay. I'm the brave Eja!"

Half an hour later.

The brave Eja discovered that his wound was still infected.

I was accidentally bitten by a poisonous insect.

My head feels 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 gradually getting dark.

The ground was dangerous, and Eja wanted to climb up a tree, but he didn't have the strength.

Weakness in the limbs.

So Eja found a place where it was convenient to light a fire, and after a little processing, he lit a fire with the fire-making device he carried 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 the old men taught them.

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 drew out the dagger he carried.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Eja shook his dizzy head and paid attention to the approaching sounds.

He could tell that someone was dragging something...

Hua Hua Hua——

The branches of the plants swayed, and a figure walked out of the bushes ahead.

Under the dim firelight, the figure of the other party 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!!!"

Feng Yi, who was playing cosplay: "..."

Feng Yi had long known through scent information that there was a human being here, and the situation was not good.

But there is no 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. When Feng Yi caught them, he had already decided to put them back wherever he caught them. 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 like this. Anyway, he didn’t show his tail, so he wasn’t afraid to look at it!

Then we waited for the scene in front of us.

What's going on with you natives?

Why is it that 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 and 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, dread, and an inexplicable excitement.

Oh, did he really think he saw some supernatural creature?

Feng Yi wanted to take this opportunity to dispel the rumor!

Let the other party know that he is a snake charmer... snake catching expert who came to the rainforest for investigation and has been certified by the Joint Insurance Bureau!

"You..."

Feng Yi just opened his mouth and the other party fell to one side.

He fainted.

Feng Yi was silent.

He checked the man's physical condition. Fortunately, there is no big problem for the time being. The physical fitness of the natives is indeed very strong and can adapt to the climate here.

However, the natives should be sent out as soon as possible.

Judging from the smell, this person should have an accomplice.

Feng Yi first put the man in a safer lying position, and then touched the ground with his fingers.

Some smell information substances with deterrent effect spread from his fingertips.

Feng Yi drew a circle on the ground and circled the man inside, so that he would not fall asleep and become the feces of wild animals.

A fire is not necessarily omnipotent.

Afterwards, Feng Yi returned the snakes of all sizes to their original places, and then looked for the companions of the native according to the smell information to see where the gang was.

Yes, Feng Yi had smelled the smell of at least three people from the injured native.

It was easy to find someone.

Judging from the smell, this person came from the river, so Feng Yi started looking from the river.

Not long after, Feng Yi found a small boat rowing over the river.

At first, Feng Yi did not intend to show up. With the efficiency of these people, they should find the lost companions soon, after all, they have a fire.

If there is nothing to help, leave quietly.

After watching for less than a minute, Feng Yi still took action.

What's wrong with these crocodiles?

Why are they so fierce?

On the boat, the three members of the task force were nervous.

They had been waiting for an opportunity to row over, but those crocodiles were wandering on the river like crazy, and two of them even had a conflict and fight.

Until night, they found the fire in the opposite jungle. They just sent out a whistle message, but the other side did not respond. Maybe they were not in good health, so they had to go as soon as possible.

The river calmed down, and they did not see the crocodiles, so they took action. Who knew that not long after the boat was rowed out, the crocodiles surrounded them.

An adventurer used a paddle to drive them away, but the crocodiles became more fierce and tried to attack.

Just as they were thinking about whether they should retreat first because of the danger of this trip, the crocodiles that surrounded them changed.

Another native on the boat was more sensitive to the surroundings. He found that the crocodiles' reactions were not right, and their attacks were not so fierce. It seemed that something was driving them away.

He took a flashlight and shone the light over, but only saw the dark shadows moving underwater.

He was completely scared.

Another explorer shouted his name loudly, and then he came back to his senses.

But at this time, the dark shadow like a giant snake that he had just seen kept flashing in his mind!

Obviously, in that short period of time just now, he only saw a very vague shadow, but everything had been completed in his mind.

"Nabu! It's Nabu!!!"

"The ultimate evil beast sent by the gods to guard the rainforest!"

Feng Yi, who had already swam ashore and was hiding and watching secretly: ???

What the hell is the ultimate? !
