The group explored the depths of the rainforest, and as they went deeper, the vegetation became denser and thicker. Johnson swung his machete, and as the thick blades of grass broke apart, a giant snake with a bulging belly coiled around the corner of the fallen tree.

"Oh my God!" Xiao Hei fell to the ground, covering his mouth with both hands. He kicked his legs and stepped back quickly. He had no choice but to stop until his back pressed against Bill's thigh.

Johnson was even more frightened at the front of the team. He took a step back in fear, his eyes as wide as bells. Xiao Hei's scream attracted the attention of the giant snake. They had no retreat and had to seize the opportunity to attack first.

If you run away, you will inevitably be overtaken by the giant snake. In an unfamiliar environment, it is impossible for people who are not in good condition to run past the giant snake on two legs. It is better to try to kill them while you are prepared.

.

His eyes flashed with murderous intent and ferocity, and he quickly took out a revolver from his waist. Most of the only six bullets hit the giant snake's head. The bullets of the revolver did limited damage, and only one shot hit the snake's pupil.

Make meritorious deeds.

It went much smoother than expected. The first thing the giant snake did when attacked was not to fight back. Instead, it raised its head and opened its mouth, and a corpse was regurgitated from the snake's stomach.

Johnson and Song Jin rushed forward with machetes in hand. One of them was a ruthless man who dared to go into the water to fight a crocodile alone, and the other was not much worse.

The two men swung the machetes with all their strength and cut off the giant snake's head, drawing blood. The machetes were also curled up and scrapped. The headless snake's body writhed on the spot, sweeping the two men to the ground.

The reason why the snake's body can still move after its head is chopped off is because of the conditioned reflex in the limbs and the nerves controlling the body. It seems dangerous, but it is not that dangerous. The two of them hugged their heads and curled up, and the giant snake came back to consciousness before the body died.

Bill and others pulled out.

"Is that..."

Johnson knew what Song Jin meant and nodded blankly. "It's Vince."

"God. Didn't he fall into the river?"

The corpse was the friend Johnson called. I thought he had slipped and fell into the river and drowned, but I didn't expect to see his body here. Vince's body was evenly coated with a layer of mucus, and the skin was covered in disgusting

The mucus corrodes him, but people who are familiar with him can still recognize his identity.

Several people admired the two of them for their bravery, and did not blame or hate them because of the previous episode. After this experience of killing the giant snake, everyone's confidence in leaving the rainforest increased greatly.

"Did it swallow the Ban one?"

Susan covered her mouth to suppress the nausea of ​​the corpse, and looked at Johnson hopefully. She hoped it was the same one, so that everyone would avenge Ben.

"No, no, it can't be the same one. They can't digest food so fast."

Lisa thought of something and asked solemnly. "Didn't you say that there won't be other big pythons within a few kilometers?"

"No. Unless..." Johnson lowered his head slightly, thinking deeply in his mind.

"Unless what?" Lisa quickly asked, this is a matter of life and death for everyone.

"Unless it's breeding season."

"Breeding season?"

"Yes. Male snakes have their own territory, but when they smell the special smell emitted by female snakes during the breeding season, they will gather from all directions. The female snake will find a place suitable for breeding, and all the male snakes will find it together.

.”

"It forms a huge reproduction snake ball. Earthworms and other similar creatures will behave similarly." Song Jin simply added.

He was digging a hole with Bill. After all, they were getting to know each other. They couldn't take Vince's body away, and they couldn't let him be exposed in the wilderness.

"So these pythons killed two people on their way to the party?" Xiao Hei squatted on the ground and retched, and raised his head in shock after hearing this.

"almost."

Susan regretted not being able to avenge Ben, and felt comfortable and worried about her current safety. "What kind of terrain will the female snake look for? Why did it do that just now? Don't normal creatures fight back first?"

"The soil is moist and soft, usually in stagnant pools or swamps, such as the place where Ban was attacked. These guys are very fragile when they are full and digesting food, but if they are in danger, they will spit out the food and attack again

.”

Several people knew that there was no need to think about killing the snake again. Not to mention that the only gun was out of bullets, and the chance of encountering a giant snake that was eating was too small.

Everyone took out the rainforest map and re-planned their route to avoid all places that might be suitable for giant snakes to breed.

"Listen, we need to speed up. It's getting dark and no one wants to spend the night in the jungle. We have to try to reach the indigenous tribes, so please be careful and don't fall behind!"

Johnson found a small branch of the river. The water was no deeper than his ankles and the bottom was clear. The vegetation on both sides of the river was sparse and clean and sandy. Several people moved along the branch of the river without the leader chopping grass to clear the way. The speed was much faster than before.

What a few people don't know is that this branch of the river is the climbing mark that Ye Guangji walked on. If they knew it, they don't know if they would dare to continue exploring deeper.

"You said that was the biggest python you have ever seen, but what about the one just now?"

"It was the same before."

"But this one is bigger." Susan followed closely beside Johnson, making inappropriate jokes. She admitted that she had begun to have a crush on him.

He is strong, brave and full of masculinity. Coupled with the appearance of a tough guy and the heroic actions just now, they are all bonus points in a dangerous environment. If she were in the city, she might be attracted to the pretty boy, but it was different in the dangerous rainforest.

With a tough guy by her side, she feels more secure.

Johnson was focused on traveling, and the people behind him had a hard time following. He suddenly stopped, deviated from the route and dug through the dense leaves.

"Is this... a totem pole?"

"Yes, we are looking in the right direction!"

Johnson's tense expression relaxed. This was a rare good thing that happened in the past two days. Several people came over curiously to watch. The rough totem pole was carved with the pattern of a python entangling people, which had a strange beauty.

"Okay! Speed ​​up."

During the next journey, everyone did not stop for a moment. They drank water and ate on the way, simply taking a sip and replenishing their strength to ensure that they would not fall behind.

"Keep quiet, this may be a sacred cemetery." Song Jin signaled everyone to be silent.

Everyone finally saw traces of human beings, and dead bones of unknown age were placed everywhere. There was a tradition of respecting the dead everywhere. Everyone remained silent and solemn, hoping to leave a good impression on the indigenous people they met.

Everyone was amazed by the peculiar aboriginal houses. This was the first time they had seen a house located underground. They looked around secretly, but they didn't see a single living person in such a large tribe.

"Stop! Be careful, something is wrong."

Johnson raised his hand to stop the team, holding a curling machete, and approached a house smartly. He discovered the wind problem here. It seemed that there were many prosperous houses, but most of them were old and showed no signs of maintenance, and some mud houses had collapsed.

No one cares either.

This is one of the few large tribes in the rainforest, and it was the largest Shua tribe that was destroyed by Ye Guangji. At that time, he spent a lot of effort to ensure that no natives were alive, leaving behind a dead tribal settlement.

He turned on the only flashlight he had and shone the light through the hole in the house on the mound. The situation inside frightened him. He had never seen this scene before. He looked back and forth at several indigenous houses and found that the scenes inside were very different.

"Come and help."

"Isn't this not good?"

He called everyone over, shaking his head and saying nothing about Song Jin's worries. He removed the roof of a mound house, revealing the interior of the house that looked like a cellar. Insects and rats crawled on the bones. These weak creatures could be seen everywhere, and the doves and magpies were everywhere.

The nest makes its home here.

"All dead? All dead! That's not a cemetery at all."

"Adults, old people, children, no one is alive, what is happening here?"

Johnson raised his head and looked at Bill. He was the only one among them who knew a little bit about aboriginal affairs.

Facing the attention of everyone, he bravely explained: "I don't know. It seems that they were in danger. No one in the entire tribe survived. Was it a flood that drowned them in their sleep? This kind of house model

It’s easy to get water in.”

"No, this is a highland, and the nearby jungles are all flooded, so it will be fine here." Obviously, everyone could not agree with this statement.

"Okay, no matter what happened, we find the canoe and leave here immediately."

Johnson suppressed the curiosity in his heart and called on everyone to take action. The corpse turned into bones, and the death time must be very long. Such a long-standing danger cannot affect everyone again.

He had a guess in his mind that everyone massacred the entire tribe, and the corpses showed a posture of fear. There must be something terrifying. However, this tribe worships giant snakes, and there must be some way to deal with the giant snakes. This kind of genocide should not happen.

Condition.

"Without maintenance for too long, the canoes are all rotten and none of them are usable!"

Johnson abandoned the messy thoughts in his mind and followed the sound to find Song Jin by the river. The wreckage of dozens of canoes, decayed and turned into dust at the slightest touch.

"Which one is the slow river?" Jack was obsessed with blood orchids. The slow river he asked about was the river that led directly to the blood orchid picking point.

"The one on the right, the Ku River on the left. The Ku River is the fastest route back." Song Jin patted the sawdust on his hands and straightened up to answer Jack.

"How fast?" Lisa came over at this time, and her character became tough under the repeated blows. This situation will not make her collapse for the time being.

“You can take a bath in a five-star hotel in two days.”

"We don't even have a boat."

Several people gathered around. The buildings in the tribe all looked the same, so there was nothing to search for.

"We'll build one ourselves."

Johnson showed a confident smile and took the lead in tearing down the tribal buildings and preparing tough straw ropes. They were going to build a raft. The boat didn't need to be very good to go down the river, and of course they didn't have a good boat.

"It's strange that if you demolish other people's houses like this, you won't be beaten to death."

"It's nonsense, then they have to come back to life."

Everyone was talking and laughing, and with two professionals there, the process of building the raft went much more smoothly.
