Chapter 60 Deep in the Jungle
The boat was sailing along the water on the not-so-wide river, the sun shining brightly and brightly. Monkeys were raving on the trees, and parrots and butterflies flew up and down, like dazzling waves.
After an afternoon of driving, they found a river beach under the guidance of the old professor.
This river beach is a great place to camp. In front of the river beach is a beautiful bay with a beautiful scenery, with a bay of hundreds of feet wide and a smooth surface like a mirror. Fish jump out of the water from time to time, causing the calm bay to ripples. In the distance of the bay, the forest is vast and vast, covering the sky and the sun. The yellow and crimson flowers blooming on the treetops shine with dazzling light in the sunset, and egrets lazily passed by the water.
There was a tall tree by the river, and they planned to camp under it.
At the intersection of forests and open areas, Li discovered a narrow passage.
"It looks like the footprints of something," he asked Professor Miles, "Indians?"
"No, child, that's a beast." The old professor replied with a smile.
"Beast Road?" Jessica also came over curiously.
"Yes, look," the professor pointed to the footprints on the ground. It really didn't look like it was stepped on by a human foot. "This is the footprint of a wild boar, this is the footprint of a capybara. Look, that is the footprint of a deer."
The professor introduced them carefully to them, and the old professor who was a little shy in real society talked freely at this time.
Li looked at him and felt a sense of self-confidence. The power made the seemingly weak and dull professor introduce his territory like the king of the jungle.
Yes, this is also a manifestation of Tao. Li saw from him the powerful ability of real specialization in everything.
"Oh, professor, what kind of animal footprint is this?" Jessica's scream pulled Li back from the state of enlightenment, but he didn't care. The Tao was filled with heaven and earth. Li knew that he had entered that state, and now he could enter the state of enlightenment at any time.
The old professor looked at the place where Jessica pointed and smiled bitterly, "It's a coincidence that it's the footprint of the jaguar."
Seeing the gathering of people, the old professor hurriedly added: "It's okay, as long as we don't mess with them, they generally won't invade us. Moreover, we sleep in hammocks, far from the road they pass by."
Locke rolled his eyes. Among the seven people here, Jaguars were probably only threatening to the professor and the three of them.
Ten minutes later, the camp was built. The so-called camp was just seven hammocks hanging between trees. Seeing Hal carefully sprinkle the deworming medicine on the trunks tied to the hammock, Li kindly told him not to sprinkle the four of them. Looking at Hal's worried gaze, he smiled and explained that they had a special way of deworming.
As night gradually approached, the group crawled back to their hammock after dinner and handed over the forest to the animals.
The cicadas began to make sharp and low sounds, and the tree frogs bulged their belly and croaked. The nighthawk's screams were like a dying ghost whimpering. If the ghost would die, some unknown animals also joined their hustle and bustle, and the whole forest held a concert.
Li closed his eyes and felt the vigorous vitality of this forest with his spiritual sense. In his sea of consciousness, this forest has become a universe. Cougars hunt and kill deer in the jungle, deer eat grass, and the grass decomposes the corpses of all animals rotting in the forest, repeating and never stopping.
Under the protection of the deterrent force he quietly released, in fact, no animal came to the river from the beastly road to drink water all night. Except for the fact that Hal, who was planning to take some photos, was a little depressed, the others were still very satisfied.
The noisy night finally passed, and another morning came to the forest, and everyone who had been cleaned up continued to go downstream.
After drifting for another day, the professor guided them to stop. He pointed to a mountain and said to Li, "It's that direction, about 50 kilometers. The complex we found last time was in that jungle.
Li and the others looked around and said, well, the dense jungle made them unable to see even 5 meters away. However, he believed in the words of the professors and turned around and started moving things down from the boat.
After everything was moved off the boat, Li asked Finley and Locke to move the boat to the river bank. The professor said that if the boat was just tied to the shore with a rope, the cable would be untied by the curious monkey within three days.
Under the dumbfounded gaze of the professors, Locke and Finley stood in the river and raised the boat to the shore, while Jessica laughed sneered. If they knew that these two Rifinley were pretending to not make them afraid, they would probably have their eyes wide open.
Everyone carried their luggage on their backs and began to walk towards the mysterious jungle.
Entering the jungle, they were surrounded by towering plants, and by contrast, they seemed so short.
The trees stand upright like giants, covered with thick layer of long beard-like moss, looking like old people, of course, they are actually a thousand times taller than the old people.
The gray moss whiskers kept falling down, fluttering in the cold wind. The branches of each tree were wrapped with black snake-like vines about a few hundred meters. Between the trees, white clouds were flowing, and the ground was filled with mist, like the sharp claws of giant beasts in the sky, looking for a fat man to make delicious food.
The thick fog surrounding it was shrouded in the breeze like gray curtains floating around. You could vaguely see the most strange plants in the world, and it seemed like you were in a nightmare.
Jessica looked at this bizarre world and suddenly felt that her favorite vine weapon didn't seem to be a particularly strange plant. She turned to the professor and asked, "Why are everything here so tall?"
The professor took off his hat and wiped his sweat, and replied: "I can't explain the specifics clearly. After all, I'm just an archaeologist. But I heard that this place is located at the equator, without winter, and it's hot all year round. Plants grow up every day of the year, never stopping. In addition, it rains all night and all day, at least there is drizzle, as well as strong acid soil and strong ultraviolet light, which are conducive to the growth of plants."
Jessica nodded in a clear way and continued to follow everyone's pace.
After walking deep and shallow for a long time, they looked for a stone by a stream in the forest and stopped. The old professor looked at the luminous table and issued an order to camp.
With the stream next to me, everyone soaked their feet to relieve their fatigue for the whole day. After dinner, they fell asleep quickly. Unfortunately, the dream did not last long, and guests came to the camp.
