Provoking his ex-uncle in Survival Variety Show
Chapter 159 Provoking Day 159【2 in 1】
Chai Jun's words silenced everyone.
The core hinterland of Savage Valley is a no-man's land known as the forbidden zone of life. Jiangcheng even reminded Bofeng not to set foot in the place.
Who would have thought that upon waking up, they would be sent to this area?
Looking at the display on the map, Jiang Cheng not only drifted in, but even drifted a little bit. It would take a lot of effort to get out, so it's better to just go out along the hinterland.
Looking at other people, there are even those who have drifted farther and deeper than them.
Xia Qing couldn't help muttering: "This place is not very good... Before we set off, we said that we would not go to this forbidden area, but now it's better..."
"What are you going to do?" Fang Yuan interrupted Xia Qing, and he asked.
Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce looked at each other, and Jian Xingce pinched his brows: "Let's find other people first."
Jiang Cheng nodded slightly: "Well, they're a bit scattered, let's meet up first, let's see whether to venture through the hinterland of the forest valley, or withdraw temporarily."
Having said that, it now seems that the former is more feasible. Even if they go back, they still have to go through half of the hinterland, not to mention that their low terrain is soaked in water, which is very inconvenient in terms of movement.
Fang Yuan didn't know what to say. They knew very little about the hinterland of the Savage Valley, which was a forbidden area for life.
I only know that a few years ago, a jungle scientific research team from the National Scientific Research Institute tried to go in, and sent a special team to protect those scientific researchers. In the end, it seemed that few members of the scientific research team came back, and even the special team suffered casualties. serious.
He still remembered that the mission was originally assigned to Team Jane and them, but it happened that a reconnaissance mission they were following suddenly made progress, and they were handed over to a special team in the Imperial Capital.
The captain who led the team was also said to be legendary, with a nearly 100% mission completion rate and an absolute low casualty rate, but the mission still failed.
No one knew what happened at that time. The few subordinates who survived by chance are now being looked after in the treatment center of the compound. Their physical injuries are healed, but their mental wounds cannot be healed. The captain also couldn't recall the situation at that time because of the severe trauma and stress. Later, I heard that he seemed to have retired from the front line and turned to do national security.
Fang Yuan didn't know who was stronger between that person and their Team Jane, but thinking about it, there seemed to be no comparison. The result of such an incident alone was enough to make everyone full of awe and endless imagination about the life restricted area of Savage Valley.
After Fang Yuan was silent for a while, he could only say: "I wish you good luck. Be careful."
Jian Xingce and Jiang Cheng responded.
As soon as the two hung up the communication, they suddenly heard a scream from the tent behind them, followed by a "plop" sound of falling into the water.
Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce hurriedly opened the tent and turned around to look, only to see that the tent behind them had fallen into the water and was being salvaged by their companions.
It was raining heavily outside, and the water surface was blurred by the raindrops. It was the middle of the night, and the night in the jungle was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. That is, the fabric of the tent had a fluorescent coating, so people could see it. .
Jiang Cheng was amused when he saw this. He probably got out of the tent without paying attention. He didn't expect that there was no solid ground underneath.
He turned on the flashlight and shone it there, so that the man's teammates could help him pick him up.
He glanced at the man and recognized that it was the correspondent who had come to inform them before. The man was flopping in the water, and it seemed that the water might be two meters deep.
Jiang Cheng and Jian Xing broke a few branches and roughly tied them together, used them as oars, and rowed to the side of those people.
"Where are we...?" A member of the team asked blankly, looking around, both strange and familiar, the trees are still those trees, but the direction of the mountain seems to have changed, and even if the others are gone up.
They are three people in one tent, Bofeng and another slightly injured soldier are in another tent, while Duma shares a tent with another female team member.
At this moment, neither the captain's tent nor the deputy team's tent was anywhere.
Fortunately, they are not completely alone.
The man looked at Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce, swallowed and asked, "Are you and us the only ones around here?"
"It looks like this at the moment." Jiang Cheng heard the words and said: "The heavy rain and water rushed us here, this is already the uninhabited area in the hinterland of Savage Valley, let's find a way to join your captain's deputy team first. "
The man nodded when he heard the words, and there was nothing else to do.
The correspondent had already been picked up by another teammate, and he was holding on to a circle of metal buoys on the edge of the tent, choking on water and coughing.
The teammates laughed and joked: "You are too shameful. Even if there is water underneath and you are not prepared, you will not fall, right? If you fall, you will not be unable to jump up. The water is so deep."
The correspondent coughed and waved his hands while holding the buoy: "No, cough, I...cough cough cough..."
Seeing that he was too coughed to speak, Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, and said to the people next to him, "No, turn him over, he might be choking on something."
The teammate reacted after hearing the words, and saw that the correspondent's face was pale, and his blood turned back from coughing.
With the help of his teammates, the correspondent coughed heavily again. Under external pressure, he finally coughed up something in one gulp, and stretched out his hand to pull out a thin fluff-like thing from his throat.
The correspondent took a long breath, and finally he breathed smoothly.
Seeing this, the teammate also heaved a sigh of relief, then picked up the cotton-like thing with a twig, frowned and asked in wonder, "What is this..."
"How do I know?" The correspondent gasped while lying on the buoy. He touched his throat and always felt that there was something foreign in it, but it seemed to be okay. It seems to be entangled by something so I can't get up..."
Jian Xingce heard the words and looked at the water surface. The lights of Jiangcheng illuminated the water surface. The bottom of the water was turbid, and the grass leaves and branches floating under the water could be vaguely seen crowded together and stuck in the crevices of the rocks.
Seeing this, the teammate said: "Maybe it just got stuck, and there is nothing in the water."
The correspondent pursed his lips. He felt that it was not good to say that he would fall into the water. It was also because when he came out to release the water, he suddenly noticed that they were floating. He originally wanted to notify his teammates, but the pontoon under him was suddenly cold. He hit something, and he couldn't stand still before he fell into the water.
Something in the water tugged at him.
But it's hard to say, if it is said that the tent buoy hit the rocks underwater, it is also possible, he was entangled and pulled by the branches in the crevices of the rocks, and it felt similar to something pulling him underwater.
The correspondent didn't say anything more, and what he said at this moment would just cast a layer of shadow and panic in vain, it might as well just default to being entangled by stones and broken branches in the water.
What's more, he himself really didn't know what happened. Everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly, so fast that people couldn't react at all. Coupled with the night and heavy rain, both vision and sensory perception were greatly affected.
Jian Xingce glanced at the correspondent, and he said lightly, "Check to see if there is any injury.",
The correspondent said immediately after hearing the words: "It should not be..."
"Check it out." Jian Xingce interrupted.
The correspondent was stunned for a moment, seeing Jian Xingce's tough attitude, he subconsciously responded, "Oh."
In front of everyone, he bowed his head and rolled up his clothes to check them one by one.
The front and back of the correspondent were checked by his teammates, and there was no wound, but it seemed that Jian Xingce was making a fuss over a molehill.
Jian Xingce narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not stop, but watched the correspondent continue to check.
Jiang Cheng glanced at Jian Xingce. He knew that Jian Xingce must have some guesses when he did this. He asked in a low voice, "What are you looking for?"
"Traces." Jian Xingce said.
Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't ask any more questions.
The two teammates next to him heard the private communication between Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce, and they seemed a little confused because of the language barrier. One of them asked, "Azu just fell into the water. Is it necessary to cover up and check?"
"There is no harm in checking." Jiang Cheng said, and he looked at the two people, "It's dark and raining again, and it's not safe to search for people on the road. It's best to stay where you are for now. Since there's nothing you can do, let's check carefully. Don't delay things."
The two team members had no choice but to say nothing and looked at their teammates.
When the correspondent named "Azu" took off his shoes and socks and rolled up his trouser legs, the other two, including the correspondent himself, gasped in surprise——
I saw a thick strangle mark from his ankle up to his calf. Because of the large area, it was not obvious at first glance. It was neither blue nor bruised until it reached the knee. In contrast, the strangled mark was slightly swollen and whitish, as if he had been slapped suddenly.
Azu's eyes widened, and he looked at Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce incoherently and asked, "What is this? How did this happen? I don't remember at all..."
The other two team members immediately looked into the water, and dragged Azu to the center of the tent in unison.
Jiang Cheng didn't expect such marks to appear on Azu's feet, so he couldn't help but move closer, took a photo with a flashlight, and asked the correspondent, "You don't feel anything?"
Azu shook his head: "I only felt that my body was very heavy after falling into the water, and then I felt something pulling me in the water, but if there is something so thick on my leg, I will know it."
Jiang Cheng didn't say anything after hearing the sound.
He felt his body was heavy, perhaps because there was something entangled in the water that increased his own weight, but the entanglement area of the thing was large, so the force was not so obvious, coupled with the momentary panic and multiple factors when he fell into the water, perhaps Before the correspondent was fully aware of it, the thing had already let go of its shackles.
The correspondent was terribly frightened. Anyone who suddenly found such obvious signs of being attacked on his body would have to be terrified.
His teammate couldn't help but swallowed a bit of saliva, he didn't know whether to tell himself or appease Azu: "No matter what, it means that thing is not interested in us."
"Right?" The teammates looked at Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce after finishing speaking, asking as if they were looking for a backbone.
Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce looked at each other, but neither of them said anything.
There is a possibility of not being interested, but it is more likely to be disturbed.
At that time, the correspondent fell into the water, and his teammates were all salvaging to help, and the thing might have swam away when it heard the movement and gave up.
But if this is the case, it should also mean that the thing is not large in size and aggressive, otherwise it would not be so easy to release it voluntarily.
Jiang Cheng grinned at the man and smiled reassuringly, but the faces of those people seemed to have gotten worse, as if his smile had had the opposite effect.
Jiang Cheng: "..."
The group retreated into the tent again, waiting for the sky to brighten.
In this place, even Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce are unwilling to take the risk of traveling at night, not to mention that there is water everywhere at this moment, and such deep water may not disappear in a few days.
After all, the rainforest is not like a city. It has a drainage system that has been constructed and planned. There are only the most primitive natural creations in the rainforest. The accumulated water will flow from the soil, the cracks in the rocky landform, and all aspects. Each has its own method, but the speed is hard to say. .
Their tent was still being pushed to the depths of Savage Valley with the current. Jiang Cheng looked at the direction and found that the current was bringing them close to the rest of the people on the map, so he simply let it go.
"What do you think is the thing that attacked the correspondent?" Jiang Cheng asked Jian Xingce in the tent.
Jian Xingce said: "Big eels, or water snakes, are both possible. There is a high probability that they were attacked by the lure of the fluorescent fabric of the tent at night."
The heavy rainfall brought by the tropical storm has caused the water level of the surrounding tributaries to rise, far beyond the river bank. It is not surprising that aquatic organisms living in the Burma River appear here.
Most aquatic organisms have phototaxis, and it is easier to explain why they are interested in fluorescent fabrics and then attack them than actively attacking humans.
Most creatures will not take the initiative to attack creatures that are much larger than themselves, and the water here is only about two meters, and larger fish should not swim in casually—especially some groups of creatures that are bigger than food. Mermaids are also vicious barra fish - so the probability of targeting humans is not high.
Thinking about it this way, they are relatively safe.
The rain stopped in the middle of the night, so Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce took down the support of the tent.
The main steel frame used to prop up the tent is more than two meters long, very heavy, and fits right in your hand. It was used by Jian Xingce and Jiang Cheng as a tool for supporting water, which is much more useful than the temporarily dismantled branch oars.
The tent somewhat takes up space and vision. After the bracket is removed, the remaining part is compressed under the body. Complete removal will cause the buoy device to fall apart, so only part of it can be dismantled.
It's just that this has greatly eased the field of vision, and it also allowed the two of them to have more long-range tools close to them, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.
Jiang Cheng glanced behind him, and the team of correspondents also approached along the current, waving at them.
Jiang Cheng pointed to the location on the satellite map: "Let's go to Duma first, she is near us."
"Okay!" Azu and the others agreed.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce had a long steel pole in their hands, they immediately followed suit and dismantled their own tent, and got two steel poles.
When the lever is propped into the water, it can touch the ground at the bottom of the water. With a push and a stroke, the pontoon tent adjusts its direction slightly and swings towards the target location.
They are located in the lower reaches of the entire Dien-Burma River path, and the speed of the water flow is completely affected by the precipitation upstream. For example, at this moment, the water flow speed is obviously much slower than in the middle of the night.
Jiangcheng and the others will join Duma and his party earlier than expected.
After most of the communication was restored, Azu contacted Duma. After Duma and the others discovered the unexpected situation, they immediately planned to join the nearest team, so the two teams met halfway.
Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Duma breathed a sigh of relief: "You didn't encounter any problems, did you?"
Azu paused when he heard the words, and shook his head: "It's not like I encountered any situation, but I don't know what's going on with the captain."
"He may have encountered some small troubles." Jiang Cheng heard the words and said, "The position on the satellite map has not been moved for a long time, either it is stuck, or it has encountered other problems."
Azu nodded, pursed his lips and said: "We have tried to contact the captain, but we have not been able to contact him, including Alai who is with the captain, and there is no reply."
Duma took a light breath, this is the worst news so far.
"Let's go find them." She said, then looked at Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce, and asked Chi Chi, "Your words..."
She knew that their current location was the "red zone" on the satellite map. Even if Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce wanted to turn back for safety reasons, she couldn't say anything.
"We are with you." Jian Xingce said, "This is already no-man's land in the hinterland of Savage Valley, so it's better to act together."
Duma was overjoyed when he heard the words, nodded gratefully and immediately agreed. No matter what the reason is for acting together, as long as Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce are willing to stay with them, it will undoubtedly provide them with an extra layer of protection.
"You follow behind, be careful of the dark rocks and bushes around you." Jiang Cheng said to Duma, he and Jian Xingce planned to walk in the front to explore the way.
Usually, some low shrubs can grow up to waist height, but now they are submerged in water, which is as annoying as "water plants". If they are not careful, their poles will be entangled in it.
Not to mention the many small eddies formed due to the terrain that need to be avoided.
The deeper you go, the denser the trees will be, and the group of people have to be careful to avoid too many obstacles from the trees, which is very inconvenient to travel.
There were many trunks and branches that were broken by the collision and were slowly gathered together after being squeezed away by the buoys on the water.
"It's also strange, why did Captain and the others get into such a deep place?" Azu wondered.
Duma was also puzzled. They found it very inconvenient to move if they wanted to enter. If the water drifted, they would definitely bump into these tree trunks many times to attract attention. How could they drift all the way to such a deep restricted area?Not to mention that it is still stuck on that end and can't move anymore.
An ominous premonition rose in Duma's heart, and she slightly pursed her lips: "No matter what, find them first."
Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce glanced at each other. He looked at the tree trunks floating on the water. It looked like it had experienced a small flash flood. He just didn't know whether Bo Feng and the others drifted away before or after this happened. Got around.
As it got closer to the point of the wave and wind, the terrain began to rise upwards, and the stagnant water gradually receded. Gradually, rocks on the ground and haystacks and bushes exposed above the water could be seen.
Their buoys were finally stranded on shallow water, and they could no longer float forward with the water.
A group of people jumped off the buoy and turned to walking.
Jiang Cheng held the satellite map and compared the distance between their direction of travel and the other side of Bofeng at all times.
Bo Feng and the others still stayed where they were, and the distance between the two parties was gradually shortened—100 meters, 70 meters, 50 meters...
Jian Xingce walked in the front, with a steel pole across his chest, pressing over the dense long-stemmed shrubs that were more than half waist high. Small bloodstains come.
When Jian Xingce passed a tall and dense jungle shrub in front of him, the distance displayed on the map of Jiangcheng was also shortened to the last 20 meters.
"It's almost here, less than 20 meters." Jiang Cheng said, he subconsciously raised his eyes to look forward, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and his voice seemed to be swallowed into his throat——
Right in front of them was a muddy beach with a vast area, about the size of a basketball court, surrounded by stinky and muddy swamps, except for the place in the middle that looked like a huge nest surrounded by broken eggs. Between these eggshells, Bo Feng and another team member were in a coma.
There are so many eggshells around, it's as if the oviparous animals in the whole area have come here to lay their eggs.
The two of them, Bo Feng, had scratches to varying degrees on their bodies, faces, and hands, and they looked particularly shocking.
Seeing this, Duma gasped, subconsciously going forward, but was stopped by Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce at the same time: "Wait a minute."
Jiang Cheng pointed to the tent that was lying down not far away. It was obvious that the tent had been broken into and torn by something. Even the surrounding metal buoys had obvious bite marks of some deep and shallow pits. One of the buoys was bitten open, and the iron sheet looked like a flower that exploded.
He whispered: "No matter what brought them here, it's not easy to deal with."
Duma looked in the direction of Jiang Cheng's finger. She was standing behind the two of them just now and was just blocked. Now Jiang Cheng moved away to see her, and her pupils shrank fiercely.
She turned her gaze back to Bo Feng and another team member, and saw that there were broken egg shells all around, but no broken egg liquid. The cubs that seemed to be hatched and left the nest smoothly.
Azu couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Is it safe now?"
"Hard to say."
Both Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce retreated in unison, and the grass that had been pressed down returned to its original state.
Duma also signaled everyone to step back quietly and keep a safe distance.
Her grandfather used to be a hunter, and she grew up with him when she was a child. She heard many stories about her grandfather hunting. Her grandfather once told her that if you accidentally stumble into the crocodile's lair, you must be careful, and the female crocodile will not leave them. The nests of crocodiles are too far away, but male crocodiles will come to "steal eggs" and even attack small crocodiles, so once they run into a crocodile's nest, it means that there is more than one crocodile nearby.
But no matter what, she had never heard of crocodiles catching humans to their lairs. It was as if humans were used as food and targets for young crocodiles to practice hunting.
Duma now thought of the wounds on Bo Feng and another team member. Most of those wounds were not too deep, so that at first glance, she thought they were just scratches.
But now, she couldn't help shivering slightly, how many of them were scratched by the tree trunk?How many were attacked again?
The core hinterland of Savage Valley is a no-man's land known as the forbidden zone of life. Jiangcheng even reminded Bofeng not to set foot in the place.
Who would have thought that upon waking up, they would be sent to this area?
Looking at the display on the map, Jiang Cheng not only drifted in, but even drifted a little bit. It would take a lot of effort to get out, so it's better to just go out along the hinterland.

Jiang Cheng grinned at the man and smiled reassuringly, but the faces of those people seemed to have gotten worse, as if his smile had had the opposite effect.
Jiang Cheng: "..."
The group retreated into the tent again, waiting for the sky to brighten.
In this place, even Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce are unwilling to take the risk of traveling at night, not to mention that there is water everywhere at this moment, and such deep water may not disappear in a few days.
After all, the rainforest is not like a city. It has a drainage system that has been constructed and planned. There are only the most primitive natural creations in the rainforest. The accumulated water will flow from the soil, the cracks in the rocky landform, and all aspects. Each has its own method, but the speed is hard to say. .
Their tent was still being pushed to the depths of Savage Valley with the current. Jiang Cheng looked at the direction and found that the current was bringing them close to the rest of the people on the map, so he simply let it go.
"What do you think is the thing that attacked the correspondent?" Jiang Cheng asked Jian Xingce in the tent.
Jian Xingce said: "Big eels, or water snakes, are both possible. There is a high probability that they were attacked by the lure of the fluorescent fabric of the tent at night."
The heavy rainfall brought by the tropical storm has caused the water level of the surrounding tributaries to rise, far beyond the river bank. It is not surprising that aquatic organisms living in the Burma River appear here.
Most aquatic organisms have phototaxis, and it is easier to explain why they are interested in fluorescent fabrics and then attack them than actively attacking humans.
Most creatures will not take the initiative to attack creatures that are much larger than themselves, and the water here is only about two meters, and larger fish should not swim in casually—especially some groups of creatures that are bigger than food. Mermaids are also vicious barra fish - so the probability of targeting humans is not high.
Thinking about it this way, they are relatively safe.
The rain stopped in the middle of the night, so Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce took down the support of the tent.
The main steel frame used to prop up the tent is more than two meters long, very heavy, and fits right in your hand. It was used by Jian Xingce and Jiang Cheng as a tool for supporting water, which is much more useful than the temporarily dismantled branch oars.
The tent somewhat takes up space and vision. After the bracket is removed, the remaining part is compressed under the body. Complete removal will cause the buoy device to fall apart, so only part of it can be dismantled.
It's just that this has greatly eased the field of vision, and it also allowed the two of them to have more long-range tools close to them, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.
Jiang Cheng glanced behind him, and the team of correspondents also approached along the current, waving at them.
Jiang Cheng pointed to the location on the satellite map: "Let's go to Duma first, she is near us."
"Okay!" Azu and the others agreed.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce had a long steel pole in their hands, they immediately followed suit and dismantled their own tent, and got two steel poles.
When the lever is propped into the water, it can touch the ground at the bottom of the water. With a push and a stroke, the pontoon tent adjusts its direction slightly and swings towards the target location.
They are located in the lower reaches of the entire Dien-Burma River path, and the speed of the water flow is completely affected by the precipitation upstream. For example, at this moment, the water flow speed is obviously much slower than in the middle of the night.
Jiangcheng and the others will join Duma and his party earlier than expected.
After most of the communication was restored, Azu contacted Duma. After Duma and the others discovered the unexpected situation, they immediately planned to join the nearest team, so the two teams met halfway.
Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Duma breathed a sigh of relief: "You didn't encounter any problems, did you?"
Azu paused when he heard the words, and shook his head: "It's not like I encountered any situation, but I don't know what's going on with the captain."
"He may have encountered some small troubles." Jiang Cheng heard the words and said, "The position on the satellite map has not been moved for a long time, either it is stuck, or it has encountered other problems."
Azu nodded, pursed his lips and said: "We have tried to contact the captain, but we have not been able to contact him, including Alai who is with the captain, and there is no reply."
Duma took a light breath, this is the worst news so far.
"Let's go find them." She said, then looked at Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce, and asked Chi Chi, "Your words..."
She knew that their current location was the "red zone" on the satellite map. Even if Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce wanted to turn back for safety reasons, she couldn't say anything.
"We are with you." Jian Xingce said, "This is already no-man's land in the hinterland of Savage Valley, so it's better to act together."
Duma was overjoyed when he heard the words, nodded gratefully and immediately agreed. No matter what the reason is for acting together, as long as Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce are willing to stay with them, it will undoubtedly provide them with an extra layer of protection.
"You follow behind, be careful of the dark rocks and bushes around you." Jiang Cheng said to Duma, he and Jian Xingce planned to walk in the front to explore the way.
Usually, some low shrubs can grow up to waist height, but now they are submerged in water, which is as annoying as "water plants". If they are not careful, their poles will be entangled in it.
Not to mention the many small eddies formed due to the terrain that need to be avoided.
The deeper you go, the denser the trees will be, and the group of people have to be careful to avoid too many obstacles from the trees, which is very inconvenient to travel.
There were many trunks and branches that were broken by the collision and were slowly gathered together after being squeezed away by the buoys on the water.
"It's also strange, why did Captain and the others get into such a deep place?" Azu wondered.
Duma was also puzzled. They found it very inconvenient to move if they wanted to enter. If the water drifted, they would definitely bump into these tree trunks many times to attract attention. How could they drift all the way to such a deep restricted area?Not to mention that it is still stuck on that end and can't move anymore.
An ominous premonition rose in Duma's heart, and she slightly pursed her lips: "No matter what, find them first."
Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce glanced at each other. He looked at the tree trunks floating on the water. It looked like it had experienced a small flash flood. He just didn't know whether Bo Feng and the others drifted away before or after this happened. Got around.
As it got closer to the point of the wave and wind, the terrain began to rise upwards, and the stagnant water gradually receded. Gradually, rocks on the ground and haystacks and bushes exposed above the water could be seen.
Their buoys were finally stranded on shallow water, and they could no longer float forward with the water.
A group of people jumped off the buoy and turned to walking.
Jiang Cheng held the satellite map and compared the distance between their direction of travel and the other side of Bofeng at all times.
Bo Feng and the others still stayed where they were, and the distance between the two parties was gradually shortened—100 meters, 70 meters, 50 meters...
Jian Xingce walked in the front, with a steel pole across his chest, pressing over the dense long-stemmed shrubs that were more than half waist high. Small bloodstains come.
When Jian Xingce passed a tall and dense jungle shrub in front of him, the distance displayed on the map of Jiangcheng was also shortened to the last 20 meters.
"It's almost here, less than 20 meters." Jiang Cheng said, he subconsciously raised his eyes to look forward, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and his voice seemed to be swallowed into his throat——
Right in front of them was a muddy beach with a vast area, about the size of a basketball court, surrounded by stinky and muddy swamps, except for the place in the middle that looked like a huge nest surrounded by broken eggs. Between these eggshells, Bo Feng and another team member were in a coma.
There are so many eggshells around, it's as if the oviparous animals in the whole area have come here to lay their eggs.
The two of them, Bo Feng, had scratches to varying degrees on their bodies, faces, and hands, and they looked particularly shocking.
Seeing this, Duma gasped, subconsciously going forward, but was stopped by Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce at the same time: "Wait a minute."
Jiang Cheng pointed to the tent that was lying down not far away. It was obvious that the tent had been broken into and torn by something. Even the surrounding metal buoys had obvious bite marks of some deep and shallow pits. One of the buoys was bitten open, and the iron sheet looked like a flower that exploded.
He whispered: "No matter what brought them here, it's not easy to deal with."
Duma looked in the direction of Jiang Cheng's finger. She was standing behind the two of them just now and was just blocked. Now Jiang Cheng moved away to see her, and her pupils shrank fiercely.
She turned her gaze back to Bo Feng and another team member, and saw that there were broken egg shells all around, but no broken egg liquid. The cubs that seemed to be hatched and left the nest smoothly.
Azu couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Is it safe now?"
"Hard to say."
Both Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce retreated in unison, and the grass that had been pressed down returned to its original state.
Duma also signaled everyone to step back quietly and keep a safe distance.
Her grandfather used to be a hunter, and she grew up with him when she was a child. She heard many stories about her grandfather hunting. Her grandfather once told her that if you accidentally stumble into the crocodile's lair, you must be careful, and the female crocodile will not leave them. The nests of crocodiles are too far away, but male crocodiles will come to "steal eggs" and even attack small crocodiles, so once they run into a crocodile's nest, it means that there is more than one crocodile nearby.
But no matter what, she had never heard of crocodiles catching humans to their lairs. It was as if humans were used as food and targets for young crocodiles to practice hunting.
Duma now thought of the wounds on Bo Feng and another team member. Most of those wounds were not too deep, so that at first glance, she thought they were just scratches.
But now, she couldn't help shivering slightly, how many of them were scratched by the tree trunk?How many were attacked again?
