Chapter 162 Provoking Day 162
This piece of primeval forest is completely the base camp of wild beasts. Human beings have almost never stepped here, and there are traces of barbaric growth everywhere.
Jiang Cheng walked in the forefront, holding a machete to open the way. Jiang Cheng gave Jian Xingce a warning look, so he had no choice but to put away his thoughts of wanting to take the machete, and obediently followed behind.
From time to time, the roar of wild beasts sounded in the mountains, as if they were all around them, and everyone tensed their nerves to be vigilant about their surroundings.
"Why does it feel like all the beasts have come out..." Azu whispered.
"Beasts appear frequently after the rain, and the acuity of small mammals will decrease. It is a good time to hunt." Jiang Cheng said, and he changed the subject, "But usually the hunter is also the hunted."
Hearing this, Azu subconsciously looked at Jiang Cheng, always feeling like his hairs were standing on end.
Jiang Cheng smiled at Azu and said nothing.
He glanced at the display on the satellite map. They had already walked nearly 100 meters forward. The removal of the sawtooth-like grass gave them the illusion that they had entered a pencil sharpener. Apart from that, everything was still there. It went well.
As the group of people walked forward, it started to rain again in the forest valley.
Bofeng's team walked in the rain, completely numb to the torrential rain that seemed to be pouring down.
It took them 48 hours to arrive in Savage Valley, probably only [-] hours when the rain stopped, and the clothes on their bodies never dried out.
The equipment on their bodies became extremely heavy due to soaking in the rain, and everyone dragged forward with heavy steps. In addition to the sound of rain, there was a group of people breathing more and more heavily.
"It's foggy." Jiang Cheng's footsteps slowed down slightly, and the fog gradually rose from the bottom of his feet.
The water vapor content in the forest valley is high, and the fog is thick, just like stepping on a cloud.
Not long after Jiang Cheng finished speaking, the fog in the mountains became thicker and thicker, filling the entire valley.
Their visibility suddenly dropped to less than 20 meters. It was easy to lose their way in the forest, but now the fog was thick, which made the group's sense of direction completely strike.
"How far is it?" Bo Feng stopped panting and leaned against the tree, looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, "Shall we wait for the fog to clear before leaving?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head slightly, and glanced at the map: "There is still half the distance."
It's hard to mention their speed, not only because of the wounded, but also because in this kind of completely primitive dense old forest, they can't walk fast at all.
The terrain was limited, and it was difficult for Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce to increase their speed even if they were not injured.
"I don't know how long it will take until the fog clears, so we can't drag it on." Jian Xingce said, "Moreover, the vegetation here is complex, and the terrain has many hidden places. It is easy to be attacked by wild animals through the dense fog. It will be more dangerous to stay in place."
When Bo Feng heard it, he also realized that Jian Xingce was right. He only thought that there might be risks such as getting lost during the journey, but it was not safe to ignore the situation they were in now.
Thick fog and heavy rain obscured their eyes and ears, and their perception was greatly reduced.
Jiang Cheng led the team to walk ahead. He used a long pole to explore the way and pushed away the haystack and mist on the ground. An animal's toe bone lay quietly in the haystack.
Azu and the others also saw it, but no one paid attention to it. This is the Savage Valley, and it is normal to have animal bones.
A group of people continued to walk forward. The further they went, the more frequently the bones of animals were seen. Most of them were the bones of small animals. , indicating that the threat to them from the predators should not be too great, and they relaxed a little bit.
Jiang Cheng looked at the animal bones that appeared more and more frequently along the road, frowned slightly, and whispered to Jian Xingce: "It doesn't feel right."
"Hmm." Jian Xingce pondered, "These bones look more like some kind of creature used to mark the territory."
Jiang Cheng thought the same as Jian Xingce, he exhaled, and said to the team behind him in a deep voice: "Everyone, keep your eyes open and be careful, pay attention to your companions and the surroundings, and report immediately if there is any situation."
"receive."
Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce exchanged a look, and the two adjusted their action rhythm tacitly, and continued to move forward.
As he was walking, suddenly, he heard a voice behind him, with obvious tremors in his voice: "Team, Captain, don't move!"
When Bo Feng heard the words, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and he froze in place immediately: "What?"
Jiang Cheng and Jian Xingce quickly circled behind Bofeng, and saw a huge spider resting on Bofeng's shoulder. The spider's legs were thick and long, with a span of at least [-] centimeters. The yellowish-white-brown back hair was long and dense. Now lying on Bofeng's shoulder, it is as quiet as a plush toy, but no one dares to ignore it.
Jiang Cheng's pupils shrank slightly. This spider was dozens of times larger than any common spider.
The huge size means that it is difficult for it to build a net on the tree as its own nest, and it is also difficult to find a suitable natural nest that can be used as a shelter. Usually, it directly uses open land as a nest and hunting place.
No wonder there are so many bones in the open space in this area, I am afraid it is its territory.
And they've broken into it.
No one dared to take this spider as a good stubble. Although it didn't look like the highly saturated bright colors of other poisonous spiders, the two sharp hooks in front of its mouth were glowing with purple-black poisonous light.
At this moment, it was lying on Bofeng's shoulder, and it didn't seem to show any signs of attacking, but when Bofeng stopped, the spider suddenly seemed to have sensed something, it set up its long legs, and slowly moved towards it. Crawl on the neck of the wave.
Bo Feng caught sight of the huge spider from the corner of his eye, and his expression changed drastically, he looked even more panicked than when he met the crocodile: "Giant spider? Is it a giant spider?!"
Duma also reacted abruptly when she heard the words. The rumor of the giant spider is like the protagonist in a horror story in their country. Almost every child has heard of it, but everyone regards it as a virtual creature. To scare disobedient children.
But both Duma and Bofeng know that this story is likely to be true. Their fathers were the survivors of that team. After they returned to their motherland, they were sent to a nursing home for mental treatment. From the nursing home.
The nurses in the nursing home said that when the soldiers first came back, they would be awakened by nightmares every day and had to be sedated before they could fall asleep. From their chaotic narratives, the nurses pieced together a more complete version of the "story" ——
There is a kind of gigantic spider living in Savage Valley, it does not appear in groups, they even only met one, but that one became the terrible nightmare of the team on the way back to the country.
Sometimes it moves on the top of the tree, sometimes it appears on the ground, and its jumping ability is extremely powerful.
This kind of spider has a brutal and aggressive personality. Although it can't spin a web and can't entangle and trap its prey, the two sharp hooks in front of its mouth can easily kill approaching crickets, centipedes, and even small tits. of the same kind, torn to shreds.
At first the team didn't realize what they had encountered until they stepped into the spider's territory.
The spiders attacked them.
It bounced onto the soldier's body, and the two sharp hooks in front of its mouth easily tore through the soldier's clothes, pierced deeply into the soldier's body, and injected venom, and the anti-venom they had at that time couldn't deal with this spider at all. toxicity.
In just a few minutes, the muscle and skin that were injected with the venom were dissolved into a pool of blood, exposing the bones, and because of the amount of venom injected, the soldiers being attacked would not look like small mammals—— For example, it was completely dissolved into body fluid like the mountain mouse, but because of its larger size, only a range of muscles and even internal organs at the attacked part were gradually dissolved.
If you are lucky, you will die in less than a minute, but if you are unlucky, you will suffer from the extreme pain and fear of the muscle being dissolved. In the end, you will not even die from venom, but from sepsis, infection, etc. And so on.
Because of the huge size of this spider, it was called the "giant spider" by the Vietnam-Myanmar team.
Its action speed and sensitivity were much faster than the reloading speed of their weapons at that time, especially in the foggy and poor light conditions in the mountains, just one spider caused heavy damage to the entire team.
It wasn't until they broke out of the forest valley that the tragedy was about to end, but it turned into a nightmare every night, haunting and attacking the survivors.
Because of their parents, Bofeng and Duma firmly believe in the existence of this giant spider and are even more afraid.
Jiangcheng has also heard some rumors about "giant spiders". Because of this kind of spider's violent personality, there is usually only one giant spider in its territory, but any creature with a strong sense of territory will follow its mating instinct during the mating season, let go Open up your own territory.
Fortunately, it wasn't mating season for common spiders, and he hoped it wasn't mating season for this species, either.
Bofeng tried his best to restrain his panic, but obviously he was not very successful. It was the first time that Azu and his team saw their captain showing such out-of-control fear, and they all panicked for a while.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Jiang Cheng used the steel pole to slam the giant spider away, but the giant spider crawled towards Jiangcheng along the steel pole instead!
Jiang Cheng threw away the steel pole abruptly, only to see that it jumped up at an extremely fast speed, opened its thick and long spider legs and rushed straight to the door, Jiang Cheng's pupils shrank, and he rolled away quickly on the spot, but obviously just now His actions angered the giant spider, and it attacked Jiangcheng one after another.
Seeing this, Duma immediately pulled out his pistol to take aim.
Although the giant spider has a large size and a clear target, its movement speed is extremely agile, and it keeps overlapping with Jiang Cheng's figure. Shooting at such a close range, the bullet is very likely to pass directly through the spider and shoot through Jiang Cheng at the same time!
Duma gritted her teeth, cursed, and kept adjusting the crosshairs to aim, but she still didn't dare to press the trigger.
Seeing this, Jian Xingce immediately shouted, "Give me the gun!"
Duma hesitated for a second, then slid the gun to Jian Xingce not far away.
Jian Xingce grabbed the pistol with a shovel on the spot, fell on his back and aimed at the target, and at the same time shouted: "Jiangcheng, cooperate with me!"
Jiang Cheng heard the movement of catching Jian Xingce from the corner of his eye, and immediately reacted very quickly and moved towards Jian Xingce. One rolled on the spot to lure the giant spider to jump into the air. Jian Xingce took the opportunity to aim and pull without hesitation. trigger!
A gunshot hit accurately, and the giant spider slammed to the ground, the spider shoveled twice, and was shot again by Jian Xingce, and it was completely dead.
Bofeng and the others stared wide-eyed in amazement. Everything happened in less than ten seconds, and they hadn't even come to their senses.
Jiang Cheng got up from the ground and glanced at the corpse of the giant spider on the ground with lingering fear.
He just heard that this kind of spider's reaction and jumping ability are amazing. This is the first time he has dealt with this kind of thing. In terms of this body's reaction ability, if it is delayed for another three or four seconds, his reaction speed will slow down. It dropped so much that it couldn't handle it at all.
No wonder there were rumors that a team lost nearly half of its number here, and it didn't seem like an exaggeration.
Jian Xingce checked, and was relieved to see that Jiang Cheng was not injured, but his action just now accidentally touched the wound, and the gauze on the wound was bleeding.
Jian Xingce returned the gun to Duma, and thanked him earnestly: "Thank you, I will write a report when I get back."
There are strict control and use standards for the distribution of guns, let alone giving them to others to shoot at will. It is a serious violation of discipline for Duma to lend his own guns. Make reports and explain the situation.
Duma shook her head. She looked at the corpse of the giant spider on the ground and swallowed her saliva. If Jian Xingce hadn't cut off the gun decisively, they might have fallen into a more passive and dangerous situation.
"Is there a second or third one around here?" Azu asked in a low voice with trembling voice.
Jiang Cheng came over panting, and paused when he heard the words: "Probably not, they have a very strong sense of territory. In order to ensure enough food, usually there is only one giant spider within a hectare, which means , our next road, until the bone cave at our target point, should all be within its territory."
Bo Feng suppressed his fear, and returned rationally: "It is already one of the top hunters of the jungle food chain, and now this giant spider is dead... Does that mean that we are safer in its territory?"
Jiang Cheng nodded: "That's right."
