Chapter 14

Originally, when this Eastern man placed his hand on her shoulder, Cindy was stunned.

But, immediately a thread of secret delight arose.

This Eastern Wizard was originally quite good-looking; from the first day of entering the rainforest one could see how strong this Eastern man's body was.

Even Antonio, her boss, who already had much experience crossing tropical rainforests, plus regular fitness training he never slacked on, and his naturally tall and imposing build, was drenched in sweat after walking a day carrying a pack of dozens of jin in the stifling, humid climate.

On top of that, mainly he was clearing the path, so this task was far more demanding than for others, and his stamina was nearly exhausted.

The other two brothers from the gang, plus herself, although mostly following behind Antonio and occasionally using walkie-talkies to guide everyone's direction, were also exhausted enough to be choking.

Yet the Eastern Wizard before her, this man called Chen, was actually calm and composed all the way.

Women, liking handsome men is their nature, liking strong men is also their nature, liking men who are both good-looking and extraordinarily strong is even more their nature.

So, when this Eastern man called Chen placed his hand on her shoulder, her heart was secretly delighted.

The thought that flashed through her mind at that moment was actually: he has designs on me, turns out I'm not bad either!

Unfortunately, the next second she knew she had thought too much.

But why were the words spoken from the man's mouth so hard to believe!

"You're saying, we've been targeted by two Green Anacondas?"

She frowned somewhat uncertainly at the Eastern Wizard before her, confirming once more that the other party wasn't joking.

Chen Yaozu nodded; the Brazilian Female Ghost he had sent out again returned once more, confirming that those two huge Green Anacondas were heading this way, one in front, one behind.

"You also know, I have some abilities that differ from ordinary people, so sometimes I can predict danger in advance.

Those two big Green Anacondas are indeed coming our way, about fifty meters away; although this thing's movement speed isn't fast, we still have to make preparations in advance.

Go call the people!"

With things said to this extent, Cindy didn't dare delay; after all, Chen was indeed a Wizard, definitely possessing a bit of miraculous ability more than others, this had already been proven before all of them, so being able to predict danger in advance was also a very normal matter.

Antonio, called awake, was a bit dumbfounded: "Mr. Chen, in what direction?"

If it were just Green Anacondas, it would actually be fine, because this kind of python's speed is very slow; if detected in advance, they can be avoided.

If push comes to shove, the pistols in their hands aren't fire sticks either; of course this is a desperate act of last resort.

But he wanted to go take a look.

The direction was correct, and under Chen Yaozu's guidance, Antonio only walked thirty to forty meters forward before he could see a colossus crawling slowly in the night.

Fortunately this thing was too heavy, so it crawled slowly, but that appearance of nearly seven to eight meters in length and massive build still made Antonio's scalp tingle.

"Go back, go back!"

They returned to camp at the fastest speed; Cindy was already patting every tent, waking everyone up.

"Do we need to transfer urgently?"

Although Chen Yaozu could discover danger in advance, he had no response method; he could only look to the experienced Antonio and the others, waiting for their decision.

Antonio shook his head: "Now it's dark; even if we have flashlights, we can't walk far.

After all, when we entered, we already used most of the headlamp batteries; what's left won't last long, so we can't run far. This kind of giant python, when hunting, its tongue can capture prey scent from several kilometers away.

Although pythons' eyesight is poor, in darkness they can use heat to capture prey position.

They are all born masters of heat imaging.

In this kind of tropical rainforest night, once targeted, running is very difficult.

Now there's only one method: use fire!"

Everyone was startled awake; after all, the noise these Guides made patting tents was very large; ten to twenty Line-walkers, although very sleepy from a day's exhaustion, some even falling asleep the moment they touched their sleeping bags.

But this was after all the first day; the tropical rainforest was still fresh; before the morale faded over these few days, these people wanting to cross the tropical rainforest were still relatively lively, and woke up very easily.

Once everyone was awake, Antonio had the Guides collect all the simple gas stoves, form a circle around the camp, and light them.

Ceng Hongbing was somewhat puzzled; what was this for? He had just seen Chen Yaozu chatting happily with these Guides, so he came over to ask what was going on?

"Don't ask for now; later whatever the Guides tell you to do, you just listen!"

Chen Yaozu didn't dare say; he worried that if someone heard two seven-to-eight-meter pythons were coming toward their camp, these people would panic, panic would make them run, running would make them get separated, and getting separated would mean death.

Since these Guides have arrangements, then listen to the Guides; each trade has its specialty.

Actually he was also panicked inside, but panic is panic; he wouldn't cause trouble for the experienced Guides.

"Everyone squat by your own stove, burn things, whether dry branches or wet leaves, as long as you light them it's fine.

Don't be afraid of smoke choking you; smoke in the rainforest will spread uphill, this is what we urgently need; you face this direction and hide behind the stove."

The direction was the uphill direction; that was precisely the direction the two big pythons were coming from.

Antonio thought for a bit; if he didn't say now, when the pythons appeared later this group might panic even more.

Say it now, and they'll have mental preparation.

So he didn't conceal it, directly telling everyone the truth in a loud voice: "In the Amazon Jungle there are the world's largest pythons.

And right now, two of these world's largest pythons are crawling toward us; their target might be us people.

In the tropical rainforest, after dark ordinary people cannot run on this kind of dark and slippery road; pythons that can track scent and possess innate heat imaging.

Now we can only use fire to cover the heat on your bodies, shapeless; only when all stove fires and firewood piles gather together to produce a large-area heat can it make these world's largest pythons mistake the prey for being larger than them, and thus retreat.

Scare them away!

While scaring them away, also use burning firewood, wet leaves producing smoke to send these scents to the pythons.

Use the smoke's breath to cover our scent.

So, right now you just try to burn the fire a bit larger in area, make the smoke a bit thicker."

After hearing this, Chen Yaozu hurriedly stepped forward to lend a hand, helping while asking again: "Will this work?"

"If it doesn't work, the guys in our hands might still have some use."

Because they had to cross multiple national borders, Antonio's group of four Guides had no long weapons; each only had a pistol for emergencies.

But can the ordinary pistols in their hands deal with this kind of colossus? A bit doubtful! (Chapter End)
