Chapter 191: Nervousness (Please Collect and Recommend)
"Is this the resting place of the Scorpion Emperor?" Standing on the top of the canyon, Kai looked at a vast rain forest in the distance and sighed.
It was a huge basin surrounded by earthy yellow mountains. Looking around along these mountains, it was all endless desert without any breath of life. But in the basin, there were dense water networks and river valleys. In the lush rainforest, insects and birds chirped one after another, full of vitality.
After a period of rapid march, Kai and his party finally arrived at the location of the Scorpion Emperor's pyramid according to the guidance of the Scorpion Bracelet. Looking at the rain forest from the top of the mountain where Kai stood, in the deepest part of the rain forest, a golden light was announcing its existence.
Although it was indeed against common sense for a rain forest to appear in the desert, no one would back down at this point. The group packed their bags and entered the rain forest. In order to prevent danger, a group of people were divided into three groups according to their combat effectiveness.
The first group was Kai and Catherine with a group of Parrot sailors. They were the pioneers and cleared the way. As the resting place of the Scorpion Emperor, it would be a lie to say that there was no danger here.
So the strongest group of people cleared the way in front, and they could immediately warn if there was any danger.
The middle group was the baggage and the old, weak and sick, led by Captain Nemo and Courtman. By the way, some Bedouins and British soldiers were also among them. Evelyn, Jonathan, Dr. Terence Bay and other guys with little combat power were also among them.
The last group was the Bedouins, Mr. Hyde and Adsbe. They were mainly responsible for preventing the enemy from getting behind them, and also preventing the middle group from falling behind.
In order to prevent each other from being disconnected, the first group of the three groups was less than ten meters apart.
Don't think that ten meters is very close. All you can see are tall trees and dense vegetation. The sun can't penetrate at all. The humidity in the air has greatly increased, and there is a faint fog, which also makes visibility very low. In order to prevent disconnection, everyone can only signal each other from time to time to ensure distance.
After entering the rainforest, the sky looks extremely gloomy, and the sun is blocked by the dense tree canopy that covers the sky, but this does not bring a comfortable feeling to people. On the contrary, it feels cold and cold, as if something terrible is staring at everyone.
So on the way, you need to pay attention to the distance between each other to avoid disconnection.
Because we have done a good psychological construction before, everyone is nervous after entering the rainforest. Everyone concentrates on every step, for fear of something going wrong.
Except for Jonathan and Daniels, Jonathan is born without knowing what nervousness is. He is lazy all day long, while Daniels is confident. Since he learned that the curse on him has disappeared, he has always believed that he is a person favored by God and has become a little fearless.
To put it bluntly, they are just inflated.
After walking for a long time and finding no danger, the two began to get excited. They were full of curiosity about everything around them. When everyone walked past a vacant lot full of human heads, the two of them got excited.
It was more like a mass grave than an vacant lot. Countless bones were piled up there in a mess, and their heads were stuck on the edge with wooden sticks. →
In addition, there were many cages hanging on the big trees nearby, and the cages were full of some weird-shaped mummies. Judging from the postures of those corpses, they must have been tortured inhumanly before they died. But these are nothing. What really makes people feel sick is the small Jingguan! These heads seem to have been treated with antiseptic treatment. Although they are dry, you can still see the painful expressions on these people's faces.
"Look, that's the symbol of the Roman Legion!" Jonathan said to Daniels immediately when he saw an eagle flag half buried by spider webs and dust. Then, without waiting for Daniels to answer, he pointed to the other side and said, "And here, this is the French who changed the course of history, Napoleon's army."
Looking at those horrible corpses, Daniels felt a little disgusted: "Who would do such a disgusting thing?"
"I don't know." Jonathan shrugged and said indifferently, "It's not a good thing anyway."
Daniels suddenly looked at the Roman Eagle Flag over there, as if he thought of something. He whispered to Jonathan secretly, "Jonathan, is the Roman Eagle Flag you just mentioned valuable? It must be something from hundreds of years ago, right?"
Daniels is a typical semi-illiterate, and it's difficult for him to recognize and write, so don't expect him to know what era Rome is in.
Jonathan is well educated, but he is very similar to Daniels in nature. He likes to spend money on wine and women. He is very keen on selling antiques for money.
"Of course! This thing is worth at least a few thousand pounds in London!"
The two guys couldn't help but look at each other and laughed. Obviously they both knew what the other was thinking.
So the two guys sneaked to the outside of the team, and when they saw that no one else noticed them, they quickly rushed to the Roman eagle flag. Although these two guys were tomb robbers, it was nonsense to say that they were professional, so their actions were naturally not gentle. They didn't expect that the eagle flag had been there for at least a thousand years, so when they picked up the eagle flag roughly, it broke instantly.
The wooden pole of the eagle flag has been completely rotten. It didn't break before because no one touched it for a long time. Now that Jonathan and Daniels have done this, it is doomed.
Clang!
When the eagle flag broke, the metal ornaments on the eagle flag fell on a corpse next to it, and the mummy was directly smashed. As a mummy broke, the surrounding piles of corpses began to collapse due to a chain reaction.
The huge sound was extremely harsh in the quiet woods, and it attracted everyone's attention at once.
Seeing that everyone was looking at them, Jonathan and Daniels looked embarrassed.
"Sorry, we didn't expect this..."
Kai looked at the two funny guys and shook his head with a smile. These two people have a really good mentality.
Seeing that nothing happened, Kai planned to let the team move on. But before he could speak, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the woods.
Kai immediately raised his hand and asked everyone to be alert.
"We have guests coming!"
Seeing Kay's gesture, the sailors of the Nautilus immediately showed extraordinary combat qualities. They immediately stood in a circle with their backs to each other, and shouted alert in English and Arabic at the same time. When the people behind heard this, they immediately gathered in the middle of the team, and then dispersed, surrounded the old, weak, sick and disabled in the middle, and pointed their guns outward.
The Bedouin also drew the weapon at his waist, cut off all the weeds and bushes around him that were one person tall, and opened up a clearing as soon as possible. These weeds and bushes really affected the vision too much.
But when everyone finished everything, the surroundings were still calm. A group of people waited for a while, but did not relax, but became more nervous.
It was too quiet, too quiet.
Before, there were constant sounds of birds and beasts, but now, except for the sound of wind blowing through the leaves, they could no longer hear any other sounds. Anyone with a little experience knows that this situation means big trouble.
If the enemy appeared at the beginning, everyone would not be too nervous, and they would just do it. This kind of waiting for the enemy is not pleasant. They will be distracted to consider where the enemy comes from and what it is, because they know nothing. And fear often comes from the unknown.
As time passed, everyone's nerves began to tighten.
At this moment, a bush suddenly moved. A group of people had no time to think too much, and subconsciously raised their guns and shot at the bush. Then those who didn't notice the movement also subconsciously shot because of nervousness.
For a while, the gunshots made the jungle very lively. When Kai shouted for them to stop firing, the ammunition in everyone's guns was empty.
Kai could sense whether there were enemies approaching, but he couldn't control the tension in the hearts of others.
