Those things with the female president in the primeval jungle

Chapter 29 There's Something Under the Tree
"I'm a little scared..." Murong Xue pushed me, her face turned pale.

I suppressed my thumping heartbeat and walked to the pool of blood.

After careful observation, I found that there were corroded potholes on the leftover viscera.

What kind of creature in the rainforest secretes such a powerful acid?

Ant?

No, formic acid is not that strong.

This is beyond the scope of my common sense.

We really need to get out of this damn place quickly!

"Go right now!"

I took Murong Xue's arm, turned around and left.

Those extremely dangerous things must be nearby. We can only follow the route that was chased by the porcupine and return the same way.

At night, we were lucky and didn't hit their hunting time, but it's hard to say during the day.

Those things secrete a highly corrosive acid.

The group of porcupines must have suffered from them, so they were too frightened to approach them.

It can make a group of desperate little beasts turn around and run away in fear, which shows how terrifying the other party is!
I'd rather be turned into a hedgehog by a porcupine than mess with those things.

Returning along the road, the trace of the porcupine also disappeared.

Their hoof prints are messy, which confirms my guess.

Not far away, the arrow pork that I had skinned was still lying in the mud.

I let out a long sigh of relief and picked up the skinned pork again.

Fortunately, the hard work was not in vain.

I scanned my surroundings nervously, and Murong Xue also carefully hid behind me.

The porcupines did not appear.

Obviously, they were frightened by the horrors that didn't show up.

Putting the skinned porcupine on my back again, I lost the excitement of harvesting rations, and instead felt more and more heavy.

Along the way, I didn't see any small animals around.

This shows that we are still in the territory of that thing and have not gone out.

What's even scarier is that I don't even know what that thing is!
"Those prickly pigs, what are you afraid of?" Murong Xue's heart was beating drums all the time.

She followed me all the way, turning her head from time to time to check the movement around her, a little nervous.

"Probably some kind of bug."

I cautiously stated my guess.

"Bugs? A group of beasts, are they afraid of bugs much smaller than them?"

"In the rainforest, the most dangerous things are never beasts, those humble bugs are the ones that kill."

I'm also always on the lookout.

After walking along the steep hill for a long time, Murong Xue and I finally saw a road that can go uphill smoothly.

It was a thick arbor full of two people hugging each other, tens of meters high, but it broke at the middle and fell on the hillside, becoming a huge single-plank bridge with a gentle slope.

Finally we had a way to go up the slope, Murong Xue and I were happy at the same time.

"Wow, what a thick tree!" Murong Xue showed amazed eyes.

After wandering around for so long, we finally found a way to go back and escape from this damn area, and our tense nerves were finally able to relax a little bit.

Murong Xue walked towards the giant tree cautiously.

"Did someone cut it down? How can such a thick tree be broken in half?" She was a little curious.

To be honest, not only she is curious, but I am also curious.

It stands to reason that this tree is already hugged by two people. Unless a lumberjack cuts it down, otherwise, I really can't imagine that there are any natural conditions that can cut off its waist.

It's just that when Murong Xue and I approached and saw the section of the giant tree, both of us gasped at the same time.

The cross-section of the tree is full of pitted insect holes, as if someone shot it with a machine gun and interrupted it.

"The termites here are also so powerful that they can actually gnaw down such a big tree."

"It wasn't done by termites." I said seriously.

Termites build nests.

But the tree only showed signs of gnawing and erosion, but no signs of termites.

"What did that do? A little, a little cruel." Murong Xue shivered subconsciously.

It's more than brutal, it's simply terrifying.

Suddenly, Murong Xue seemed to see something, she screamed desperately in fright.

"Ahhh! Under the tree! Yes! There are skeletons!"

She suddenly pointed to something gray and white not far away, and yelled.

I followed the reputation.

It was a human skull.
