Chapter 69
Soon the time flickered to four o'clock in the afternoon.

After a long day of trekking, everyone finally arrived at Boa Constrictor Ditch, which was marked on the satellite positioning.

As long as they passed the ridge of Boa snake ditch, the members of the scientific expedition team would truly enter the depths of Shennongjia.

"Let's camp in Mangshegou today. It's already past four o'clock in the afternoon."

"If you are going forward, it may be dangerous to camp when it gets dark." Lin Bei looked at Li Fei and Zheng Kai and said.

"Well, it's true. We've gone deep into Shennongjia now. Wild animals are active at night, so it's not safe."

"You guys take a break first, Zheng Kai and I will find a suitable place to camp." Li Fei looked at the crowd and said.

Watching the voices of Li Fei and Zheng Kai disappear into the depths of the dense forest.

Wang Mengmeng, who was on the side, came to Lin Bei's side.

"Captain Lin, why is this place called Boa Constrictor Ditch? Are there boa constrictors here?"

Lin Bei was taken aback when he heard Wang Mengmeng's words, and then smiled.

"I have heard many old people in Shennongjia mention the origin of this boa constrictor ditch."

"The Boa Constrictor Ditch is just a place name. It doesn't mean that there are pythons living here, but that there is a waterfall and a deep pool in the Boa Constrictor Ditch."

"During the flood season and rainy season, the water flow of this waterfall is very turbulent. From a distance, it looks like a white python from the top of the mountain straight into the valley, so it is named Python Valley." Lin Bei explained.

"It turned out to be like this. Why didn't I hear the sound of water and see the waterfall?" Fan Wei looked around and asked.

"Don't worry, after camping, I'll take you to find the waterfall and deep pool, maybe you can take a bath." Lin Bei laughed.

"If there is water, you can take a bath, your body will be sticky with sweat." Xu Yan at the side echoed.

Ten minutes later, Li Fei and Zheng Kai came back.

"Linbei, about 500 meters ahead, there is an open space. The terrain there is flat. Zheng Kai and I have explored the surrounding area, and it is very suitable for camping." Li Fei said.

"Well, it's really nice there. There's a small waterfall not far away, and it's very close to the water source." Zheng Kai also nodded.

"Okay, then set up camp at the place you chose. Let's persevere. When we get to the camping site, let's take a good rest." Lin Bei clapped his hands, cheered up the expedition team, and followed Li Fei towards the open space go.

When they came to this flat open space, everyone in the scientific expedition team breathed a sigh of relief.

After a day of walking in the dense jungle, everyone was a little tired.

"Huh, it's finally here, I really can't move anymore."

"Yeah, I'm dying too. It's sweltering in the mountains, and the mosquitoes have bitten me to death."

"It's too hot, shall we camp here today?"

"It looks pretty good here." Xu Yanxiang was dripping with sweat, smoothing her hair by her ears.

"Teacher, Professor Zuo, take Xu Yan, Wang Mengmeng and the others to rest here."

"Let's clean up this open space first, and then set up a tent." Lin Bei took out a pack of realgar powder from his backpack and sprinkled it around the camp.

"Okay, I'll thank you for your hard work." Professor Zuo and Teacher Xu wiped off their sweat and said out of breath.

Lin Bei and Jia Haoren first cleaned up the fallen leaves in the open space with an engineering shovel.

This can avoid being bitten by poisonous insects such as scorpions and centipedes hiding under fallen leaves at night.

As for the installation of the tent, under the guidance of Li Fei and Zheng Kai, Fan Wei and Tian Liang quickly set up the tent, and finally put a layer of tarpaulin on it and spread out the sleeping bags.

After resting, Wang Mengmeng, Xu Yan and others also began to gather firewood around the camp.

"Sister Xu Yan, look there, there seems to be a small stream over there." Wang Mengmeng hugged a few dry firewood and pointed excitedly not far away.

Xu Yan raised her head and looked in the direction of Wang Mengmeng's finger. A clear stream was gurgling about 600 meters away from the camp.

"Ah, it's really a stream, let's go and wash our faces."

"I was sweating, and my whole body was sticky." Xu Yan said.

"Okay, let's wash our face first." Wang Mengmeng agreed with a nod.

The two women came to this creek and found that the creek was not deep, and the depth was only about a person's calf.

The water is so clear that you can even see the pebbles underneath.

A few small fish and shrimp are swimming happily in the stream
Wang Mengmeng couldn't bear it at first, and washed her face with cups of cool stream water in her hands.

"Wow, it's so comfortable, sister Xu Yan, you can wash it up, the stream is so cool." Wang Mengmeng wiped the water stains on her face and smiled.

"Well, there seem to be small fish and shrimps in this stream. Look, there is really a small waterfall on it." Xu Yan wandered around, pointing to a small waterfall upstream of the stream and said in surprise.

"Oh, sister Xu Yan, really, there seems to be a small lake under the waterfall." Wang Mengmeng shouted
"Silly girl, that's not a lake. It's a big pool. It looks quite deep. Why don't we go back first and let Lin Bei go with us?" Xu Yan said.

When the two girls returned to the camp, they told Lin Bei about the creek and waterfall they saw.

"Xu Yan, is there really a waterfall there? Then can we take a bath, I'm smelly all over now, I've been bitten to death by mosquitoes."

"Yeah, the heavier the smell of sweat, the more mosquitos like it, and I'm about to be bitten to death."

"Let's go, let's go wash your face together."

So, apart from Li Fei and Zheng Kai, even Professor Zuo followed Xu Yan to the waterfall not far away.

In the current waterfall, the water flow is not large, and it can even be said to be very small.

But the deep pool under it is bottomless.

"Damn, this pool looks so deep."

"Indeed, look who is so clear here, there are black holes underneath."

"The bottom here is estimated to be a limestone cave formed by the movement of the earth's crust."

"Everyone, be careful, don't walk on the edge of this deep pool. It's slippery here. If you want to wash your face, you can come under the waterfall here." Lin Bei greeted everyone.

After washing their faces with cool stream water, everyone felt much better.

Especially after the sticky sweat stains on the face are washed off, the mosquito bites are much less.

"Wow, it's really comfortable. It would be even more comfortable if I could take a bath here."

"Don't even think about taking a bath. The water source here is very clean. We don't bring much mineral water. Let's burn some stream water here tonight." Professor Zuo took a handful of stream water and tasted it.

"Well, then burn some stream water for drinking water."

"Okay, if you want to take a bath later, you can come over in batches after eating."

"Let's wash these girls here first." Lin Bei laughed.

"Haha, Captain Lin, you are a bit biased."

"Oh, let's go, Wang Mengmeng, you should pay attention to your safety."

"Maybe there are monsters in this deep pool!"

Jia Haoren said with a wicked smile.

"Fuck you, Jia Haoren, you just know how to scare me."

"We're not afraid, sister Xu Yan, you stay with me." Wang Mengmeng muttered with her lips pouted.

When Lin Bei returned to the camp with everyone, Li Fei and Zheng Kai had already lit the bonfire in the camp.

Next to the campfire, there were two iron pots, in which luncheon meat was simmering.

The drone was hovering over Lin Bei's head, taking pictures of everything that happened in the camp.

Seeing the blazing fire, this caused many viewers in the live broadcast room to question.

"Anchor, you are in the mountains, how dare you start a fire?"

"Have you heard a sentence? Set fire to the mountain and sit in prison."

"How dare you light a fire in Shennongjia??"

"Hahaha, are you Xiu'er upstairs?"

"It seems to be true, forest areas cannot use fire!!"

"The anchor is going to be extinct!!"

Lin Bei looked at the reminders from the audience on the barrage, and handed the phone to Li Fei.

Li Fei, who was burning the fire beside him, was a little confused.

"What are you doing? Let me look at the phone?" Li Fei took the phone in doubt and asked.

"Haha, look at the barrage in the live broadcast room in your hand."

Lin Bei pointed, and the bullet screen kept flashing.

"Oh, you mean this fire? We have already reported it to the relevant department, and Zheng Kai and I are responsible for protecting everyone's safety and also ensuring the safety of the fire source."

"Please rest assured about this." Li Fei explained solemnly.
