Between life and death [unlimited]

The time has come to the evening, and the light in the tropical rainforest, which is not considered abundant, quickly becomes dimmer.

Many animals that are active during the day have also begun to quiet down at this moment, but the insects are still neighing non-stop, as if they are rehearsing to welcome the nocturnal animals that are about to appear at night.

A reddish-brown haired gibbon is wandering between the tall broad-leaved trees in the tropical rainforest, as if anxious to return to its own territory, its long upper limbs continue to hang between the two trees to form a short-lived " Air Bridge".

But when it shuttled between different trees, it suddenly lowered its head and saw a strange scene below itself——

On the ground, there are a few guys who look very similar to it, possibly "relatives" with distant bloodlines, running under it non-stop, and the lower limbs of those "relatives" seem to be more agile and powerful than their upper limbs.

This also makes it very strange, why don't these partners use their more developed upper limbs to climb between the jungles like themselves?Wouldn't this be faster?

So it tried to tweet a few times to these "distant relatives", as if to remind them, but its kindness did not get a response from the other party for a long time.

When the black caiman crocodile behind caught up, the gibbon hanging high on the branch also keenly sensed the danger.

It immediately stretched out its long arms, hooked directly on another tall tree, and walked far away in an instant.It doesn't want to meddle in the life and death of those "distant relatives" now.

After all, what these "distant relatives" have offended is the most ferocious and domineering underwater existence in the tropical rainforest--the black caiman crocodile!

Among the four people who were being chased by the black caiman crocodile on the ground—three people to be more precise—it turned out that the one who ran at the front was actually Jiang Shui, who was carrying another person behind him;

Then followed by Shen Yu and Shen Yingying.He held Shen Yingying tightly, and the brother and sister were desperately chasing Jiang Xun, as if they were afraid that they would be left behind;

Then, following Shen Yingying and Shen Yu was the "Jungle Executioner" and "Underwater King" that Jiang Lai and the others had somehow provoked - the black caiman crocodile.

And the wound that Jiang Xun had made on the black monster's back for some reason no longer bleeds, and there is still a faint tendency to heal, so it roared angrily at those humanoid species, and its manic voice seemed earth-shattering—this In this tropical rainforest, no other animal can challenge its status!

And the human killer who has been chasing them behind him, after seeing a black caiman chasing them in front of him, hastened to "give it up" - he very cleverly let the black caiman chase at the forefront , and then he is only responsible for throwing cold arrows at his targets from time to time.

He was very proud of this kind of sneak attack that didn't take much effort but could easily achieve the effect, so he followed the black caiman even harder.

The wooden arrows shot from behind kept "clinking" into the trees on both sides. Every time the wooden arrows flew over, it was as if Jiang Lai had eyes in the back of his head, and he could always dodge the arrows accurately. The trajectory the arrow will fly.

In fact, Si Yufeng didn't think much about it at the time, and out of the trust in his heart, he was directly carried on his back by Jiang Lai.

It stands to reason that his position should belong to the "humanoid armor" for Jiang Xun to block arrows, but because of Jiang Xun's ability to perceive danger against the sky, Si Yufeng standing in the audience became the most leisurely and lively in the audience. It's also the safest one.

Shen Yu tightly tugged on his sister's sleeve, not daring to let go, but now he is running so painfully.

He thought that if this continued, he and Yingying would either be shot to death by arrows, or they would probably be caught up and eaten by crocodiles... In short, they couldn't easily escape from danger like Jiang Lai.

——So, he must come up with a solution!

But this happened so suddenly that Shen Yu was forced to embark on a "death journey" before he had time to react.

Therefore, he doesn't have any combat tools at hand now, not to mention that there is nothing useful around here, and some are just some vines that are easy to trip people but can't trip the man-eating monster.

So, what method will he use to get out of the current predicament...

Just when Shen Yu was lost in thought, Jiang Xun, who had been running ahead, suddenly stopped.

Jiang Lai saw Shen Yu approaching him in the darkening sky, but he didn't seem to see Shen Yu's questioning gaze, he just said to him in a cold voice: "There is a trap here...follow me, hurry up!" Go around!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Lai took the lead in running, and he turned a semi-circular bend in front of him. After crossing the trap, he turned back to the previous road again.

Shen Yu didn't understand Jiang Lai's confusing operation at the beginning—since there was a trap, why did he insist on moving on instead of going another way?

Although he didn't quite understand this operation in his heart, he followed Jiang Lu's explanation honestly, followed him through that route, and returned to the original path very quickly after bypassing the trap.

The speed was as fast as if they had never bypassed that trap just now.

But when Shen Yu also suddenly noticed the gradually dimming sky light around him, and a loud "bang" sound like the sky falling behind him, he immediately understood——

Because the light is now dimmed, the black caiman can't see clearly the short moment they bypassed just now. When it sees that they are still running in front of it, it will only think that the road ahead is still intact!

And the loud "bang" just now should be the sound made by the black caiman falling into the trap!

After hearing the loud noise, the four of them immediately stopped not far away.And the human killer who was originally behind the black caiman crocodile stopped his attack after seeing that the current situation was actually reversed by them against the wind. He once again hid himself in the dense and complicated tropical rainforest, quietly He fled away without a sound.

In fact, Shen Yingying hasn't realized what happened just now.She only heard brother Bingshan say that there was a trap ahead, but she didn't know where it was, and then she heard the loud noise.

At this moment, Shen Yingying was holding her brother's hand, her hands were filled with cold sweat from nervousness, "Brother...what happened just now? What happened...?" Even her voice trembled.

Shen Yu felt the sweat coming from his sister's palm, his heart softened, he suddenly raised his other hand, and touched Shen Yingying's little head in a comforting manner, "It's okay, Yingying. Don't be afraid, it should be the one just now. The crocodile fell into the trap." His tone seemed to be coaxing a child.

"Trap? So there really is a trap!" Shen Yingying exclaimed.She didn't notice just now that her brother led her around the trap.

After all, when humans are extremely nervous, they always subconsciously ignore some details.So Shen Yingying only knew to run away with her brother at that time, but she didn't feel like she was going around the road.

Shen Yu had already come to the side of the trap at this time, he cautiously looked inside.

——Fortunately, this trap was dug deeper.

Therefore, although the black caiman crocodile that fell to the bottom kept roaring at the bottom, it should be impossible for it to climb up by itself.

It's just that they don't know who dug out this deep pit trap that benefits them.

Wild animals in the sea of ​​clouds forest should be impossible.Even if they have intelligence comparable to human beings, what are they usually doing digging such a big hole?After all, human "prey" like them don't come here every day.

Moreover, the top of this deep pit trap is cleverly covered with a layer of camouflage that is close to the color of the earth. In this dimly lit environment, it is almost impossible to tell the difference from other places.

If Jiang Lai hadn't discovered the trap just now, Shen Yingying and Shen Yu might have fallen into it now.

Shen Yingying, who was standing beside Shen Yu, also thought of this question.Moreover, she immediately thought of other terrifying possibilities, and only heard her ask in a weak voice.

"Brother... Who do you think dug this big hole...?"

"In this forest, apart from us... there shouldn't be any savages..."

Anyone who has watched the "Approaching Science" channel should have a deep impression of the savage series produced by the program.A group of people once saw a strange figure resembling a "savage" in the wild, and it happened that the savage was discovered in Shennongjia - which is also a mysterious forest.

After finishing speaking, Shen Yingying felt that in the dark woods around, there seemed to be a savage hiding in the dark and peeping at them.

Frightened by her own imagination, she looked down and found a thick branch on the ground, and quickly picked it up, holding it tightly in her hand, "Brother...you said that apart from all kinds of animals, is there really anything here?" There are also savages, right?"

Shen Yingying held the "weapon" in her hand and approached her brother again. However, it seemed to others that she was going to hit Shen Yu.

"..."

Shen Yu looked at his timid and cranky younger sister, and said helplessly, "Don't scare yourself, okay... There are no savages, I'm still the Loch Ness Monster..."

Jiang Xun looked at the inexplicably deep trap, and a doubtful light flashed in his eyes, but suddenly there was a sound as thin as a mosquito whispering in his ear.

"Jiang Xun...can you let me down..." Si Yufeng kept hiding his head behind Jiang Xun's back, trying to let Shen Yingying and Shen Yu see him.

Although Si Yufeng was not injured in the whole process just now, and he was very happy that he didn't have to run by himself, but now he still wants to raise his head and let out a long sigh——

I'm ashamed to see people!He was so ashamed that he was thrown home!

As an upright seven-foot man, he was so weak that he was being carried on his back, and he was actually seen by others... If he had known that they would meet Shen Yingying and Shen Yu, he would have rejected Jiang Xun no matter what. !

More importantly—since he is being carried on his back, even if Jiang Lai put his hands on his thighs politely during the running process, he will inevitably touch an indescribable part of his body. part of...

It's true that people have seen all the ugly things... Si Yufeng's heart is so complicated that he doesn't know how to describe it in words. Anyway, his face is blue and red, and he is ashamed and ashamed. Now he can't wait to die on the spot!

"Oh...Okay." Only then did Jiang Lai realize that he had forgotten that there was someone on his back.

Just now, his attention was all on the trap that suddenly appeared, but it might be that Si Yufeng's weight was too easy for him, causing him to ignore the fact that he was carrying him all the time.

However, just when Jiang Lai was about to let go of Si Yufeng, something happened ahead of him!

A mysterious black figure suddenly rushed out from the forest behind Shen Yingying, and ran towards her very quickly!

"what!!!"

Shen Yingying didn't expect that she would come true with her words. It turns out that there really are "savages" here!She was so frightened that her face paled on the spot.

But when she saw that the wooden stick she had picked up was still in her hand, her expression suddenly became firm. She directly swung the stick, and smashed it hard at the top of the mysterious black figure's head!

"...Fuck!"

"Little girl... show mercy!" The mysterious black shadow shouted at her.

Shen Yingying was taken aback by the "savage"'s sudden opening, but at the same time, she also subconsciously stopped the attack in her hand.

That group of black shadows also quickly stopped their running steps, then wiped the ashes on their face with their hands, looked at Shen Yingying and Shen Yu and said, "Little girl... I'm Zhang Jian!"

"You amiable senior Zhang Jian!"

"Ex...Senior?" Shen Yingying stared at the humanoid creature in front of her that was covered in mud, and even after wiping it, she still couldn't recognize the main features.

Her tone was still somewhat uncertain and she asked: "... Are you really Senior Zhang Jian?"

As if hurt by her distrust, Zhang Jian stomped his feet angrily, then directly grabbed Shen Yu's clean hands, and wiped his face again.

After the muddy face was wiped off, what was revealed was Zhang Jian's unrestrained and unrestrained face.

He smiled at Shen Yingying: "Look, little girl! I didn't lie to you~" The contrast between the white teeth and the dark wet mud was very obvious.

But it hurt the innocent Shen Yu.He raised his right hand in disbelief, looking at the foul-smelling black mud from his hand, he was so smoked that he almost vomited out...

Only Zhang Jian, whose face was considered normal, realized that Si Yufeng was on Jiang Xun's back.

"Hey! Xiaofeng, what's wrong with your leg?" Brother Zhang Jian cast his eyes between the two, and suddenly became vague, "You...why did you just run on his back?"

It was as if a spotlight on the stage had suddenly moved over, and everyone's eyes had also shifted to the two who hadn't spoken a word.

Jiang Xun and Si Yufeng, who were watching a play, said, "..."

Unexpectedly, now the two of them "performed" another play for everyone...

Si Yufeng immediately slid off Jiang Xun's back in embarrassment.Fortunately, the sky is relatively dark now, and everyone can't see the shame and indignation on his face.

Shen Yu over there seems to have realized something.

He showed a playful smile to Jiang Yu and Si Yufeng, and said to Si Yufeng as if joking: "I didn't expect that you are so weak... Sure enough, people with good brains can't be too strong physically? Ha ha."

Si Yufeng wanted to find a seam in the ground to get in, but the only thing he could get into was the deep pit trap where the black caiman was...

So, he had no choice but to quickly change the subject, and said with a sneer: "Hehe, I'm a little weaker... But, senior...you, what did you do?"

"Hey, don't mention it!" Zhang Jian recalled his experience just now, and couldn't help but touch his forehead in pain. As a result, his muddy hands immediately stained his face that had been wiped clean with great difficulty.

"Compared to you, I think my experience just now is a history of blood and tears of human growth...!"
