Infernal Hero Chapter 174: Dangerous Miles
There was a strong wind and rain outside the window. The man hummed very softly. Only Gu Tianyou heard the three people in the room. He immediately put on his clothes and got up to excuse himself. The man outside the window moved quickly.
The next morning, the expedition team went on the road again. The sky was temporarily clear, the sky was clear, and the fresh air was more enjoyable than marijuana. The romantic cells of several students came alive again, sitting on the elephants and talking about the scenery along the way, the grass-covered forests, the temples with golden tops, and the beautiful world. Five mercenaries sit on the elephants, silent like five statues.
All the way to the west, along the repaired Thai-Myanmar Highway, from time to time, you have to pass through a large section of Zeguo, and on the way to Mae Hong Son, you often see fellow travelers' cars breaking down on the roadside waiting for rescue. At present, it is still in Thailand, which is relatively safer, and the road is also easy to walk. Toothless Elephant said that after leaving Mae Hong Son, there will be no such a smooth path. The border guards in Thailand can cope with it, but the patrol troops of the Mountain Army are difficult to deal with.
The number of mountain troops is limited. Gu Tianyou analyzed that there should not be too many troops in a group to patrol such a large area. Liu Feng said in a relaxed tone that the scale of less than 100 people is nothing to worry about. Toothless Elephant is the squadron commander of the Guo Jiajun Special Warfare Brigade, and he is considered half a jungle warfare expert. Hearing Liu Feng say this, he couldn't help feeling a little unconvinced.
After continuing to go west for 40 to 50 kilometers, the road ahead was washed away, and a certain village upstream was hit. The mood is gone. As far as the eye can see, there are no roads to follow.
Gu Tianyou just wanted to tell them that the really difficult journey had not yet begun, when suddenly he heard someone calling for help in Chinese, and he looked after the sound. A few hundred meters away, on a bus booth on the side of the road, stood a traveler, with water flowing Turbulent, the man had been trapped there for an unknown time.
Being in a foreign land, there is no reason to see the death of my compatriots.
Gu Tianyou and his party came to the front, it turned out to be a young girl with a normal appearance, a good figure, wet like a chicken, carrying a large travel bag, looking very embarrassed, and pleading with anticipation: "Help me Help me, I'm Chinese, please help me."
Gu Tianyou nodded. There were also two elephants in the team who were specially responsible for camel supplies. Several mercenaries spread the supplies from one of the elephants to the other elephants, and settled the **** the elephant. . Seeing that the elephant lowered his body, the girl was not nervous and jumped on the elephant's back lightly.
"What's your name? How could you be trapped here?"
"Thank you for saving me, Jiang Fei, Fenghua people, I study biology." The girl's elephant and Gu Tianyou kept pace, and generously extended her hand.
Gu Tianyou shook hands with her and said, "Miss Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you, you haven't said why you are trapped here."
Jiang Fei said: "I'm studying biology, and I have an academic exchange with the Royal Academy here. Several of us came here to collect biological specimens, but we didn't expect to encounter a hurricane. Last night our car was flooded by flash floods. It overturned, and I got out of the car and was swept here by the water and was trapped all night."
Gu Tianyou said: "You must be starving?"
Jiang Fei said: "I have chocolate in my bag, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stick to it now."
Gu Tianyou said: "We have an inspection project, and it is impossible to stop for you. There is still 30 kilometers ahead of Mae Hong Son. We will send you there and go our separate ways."
Jiang Fei sighed and said, "I don't know how my friends are doing now."
Gu Tianyou said: "In this situation, although I know that I can't count on the local police, I have no other hope, so I can only call the police."
Jiang Fei said: "You have so many people, elephants and guns, can't you take me to find a companion? The place where they disappeared is very far above, I have already called the police, and now even rescue me No one came." As she said that, she looked like she was about to cry.
Gu Tianyou hadn't agreed yet, but the old professor on the side interjected: "President Gu, they are all compatriots, if you can help her, just help her, just leave her to Ye Fengsong, under this situation, she A girl can't guarantee that there will be no other accidents."
All people have a heart of compassion.
Gu Tianyou is not hard-hearted. Although he still has some doubts about this girl, he still nodded and said, "Okay, you can follow first."
Jiang Fei thanked him again and again.
The further west you go, the harder the path becomes. Elephants are one of the smartest animals. They can sense the changes of water flow in advance when they are in the water, seek good luck and avoid evil, and choose the most correct way to move forward. Gradually, the team has left the road, and GPS shows that it seems to have bypassed the Mae Hong Son city area.
The further you go, the denser the forest and the more obvious the upward trend of the mountain. In the beginning, you could occasionally see the smoke and rice fields, but then gradually moved away from the people, and saw the forests and shrubs all over the place. The deeper you go, the less people you can see. The terrain on the road ahead is rugged and the environment is unimaginably complex. In addition to the lush jungles and swamps that cannot see the sun, there are more poisonous snakes and beasts infested, and the demon fog is raging.
At one point, I even encountered a five-meter-long giant python, which scared several students into discoloration. The mindless mercenary given by Gu Tianyou, however, jumped off the elephant with an excited whistle and grabbed the python's tail. The students were stunned and admiring, and just as they had no brains to hold down the snake's head, Jiang Fei suddenly called out and stopped!
"This python is pregnant, it is not good luck to kill it." Jiang Fei explained: "Such a big python will live for at least ten or twenty years. Killing it will destroy the biological structure of the area, which is a pity."
He glanced at Gu Tianyou without thinking. These mercenaries are all rebellious. Except for the words of the God of Wealth, no one else can say anything. Gu Tianyou waved his hand and said, "Let it go, be lucky."
Jiang Fei said: "GPS shows that this should be the Mang Mountain on the border of Thailand and Myanmar. It belongs to the main branch of the Rakhine Mountains. It is more than 200 kilometers in length and width. asked Old Professor Qin.
Gu Tianyou took over the conversation and said, "Just passing by."
Jiang Fei said with some worry: "There are Koyak and Rakhine people in this mountain, and a few Kachin people have settled down. It is better to say that the Rakhine people are mainly the Koyak and Kachin people who have headhunting. tradition, and it would be very dangerous to encounter it.”
Gu Tianyou asked with a smile: "What scary things do you know? You might as well say it all at once. Maybe I'll turn around and go back to China as soon as I get scared."
Jiang Fei said: "My destination for collecting biological specimens this time is Mang Mountain. On the way from Bangkok, I heard Professor Zhang from here talk about a local legend that there is a golden-scaled giant python entrenched here. It is said that there are It is 100 meters long, as thick as an oak barrel, occupying a radius of 100 miles, and the locals are afraid to enter the area where it operates.”
A 100-meter-long golden scale python?
Gu Tianyou smiled inwardly, and said that he studied biology, which sounds like those who control insects can say it.
The longest officially recorded python in the world is only 14 meters and was found on the island of North Sumatra in Borneo. After that, pythons over ten meters are very rare. In the picture of Baiximen, it is said that the python is born as a half-worm, and the worm in the python is an anaconda. Moulting, after three years, the skin grows by less than one point at a time. The 100-meter python must grow for at least a thousand years.
The tuskless elephant leaned over and said with a serious expression: "I have heard the legend of the Golden Scale Python King. It is said that more than 20 years ago, a mountain army patrol team tracked a person into the Golden Scale Python King's house. site, but none of them came out."
Gu Tianyou said: "Since you have said so, it is better to have less than one more thing, then go around."
Toothless Elephant: "Actually, there is no need to deliberately detour. Elephants are very smart, and they will naturally detour when they reach the Golden Scale Python King's site."
Gu Tianyou thought regretfully: The golden scales of the python are 100 meters long, and there is no record of even the Gu Sect Insect Sutra.
The Toothless Elephant frowned and said, "I'm actually not worried about the Golden Scaled Python King. After all, it's just a legend. Whether it really exists is still uncertain. As for the giant crocodile in the water, it's not something to be afraid of. We have more powerful guns, and my biggest concern is actually a leech."
Gu Tianyou said: "What is there to worry about leeches? Did I deal less with that thing when I took you to train?"
The toothless elephant shook his head and said: "This kind of different is called the female locust leech. It is rarely seen in ordinary years, but once there is an old forest hit by a hurricane, and some old caves are filled with water, this thing will It will burrow out from the depths of the ground. Once it enters the body of humans and animals, it will immediately ovulate in large quantities. The female worm will also burrow into the human brain and destroy the pain nerve. Within a few hours, the larvae will absorb all the blood of the human being. Without realizing it, if you move your neck inadvertently, your head will fall off, and then you will see that there are little leeches all over the place."
He's it, really shouldn't let this guy finish his speech, it's too bad for morale. Gu Tianyou cursed inwardly. His eyes swept over the rest of the team quietly, and the five mercenaries looked as usual and didn't care at all. Professor Qin sighed, and the five students looked curious and scared. Jiang Fei's reaction was a little dull, perhaps it should be said to be calm.
After crossing two ridges that day, the terrain gradually lowered, and the various plants in the jungle became more and more dense and dense, and it was almost impossible to find a place to stay. Walking in it, looking up, you can't see it The sky, if you don't use GPS, you can't identify the direction at all, as if you have entered a claustrophobic natural labyrinth.
The towering old branches are intertwined, and some trees are even as high as ten meters. Due to the thick shade of the trees, the air in the dense forest is particularly gloomy, and a faint haze permeates the jungle. From time to time, you can see ancient trees perched on The giant pythons, unknown "venomous snakes, insects", are everywhere. There are crocodiles in the dense jungle and rivers from time to time, and there are groups of tadpoles in the water with huge body shapes. I don't know if they evolved into toads How big will it be.
Rao is Gu Tianyou and others who have been in the battlefield for a long time, and they are very courageous. They are in this dark green corridor of life, and they can't help but feel terrified. A few students trembled with fright, and hugged the saddle on the elephant's back tightly as if they were grabbing a life-saving straw.
Suddenly, the leader who was walking at the front let out a whistle indicating danger!
