The four cars formed a convoy and left Durban, heading northwest along the highway.
After driving for about a day, there were no more roads, so they had to continue northwest.
After driving for another half a day, Li Du and the others were stunned. A large, almost primeval rainforest appeared in front of them. There were no more dirt roads, let alone roads. It was almost impossible for their cars to drive in!
Li Du said helplessly, "Musa, your tribe is so far away? How did you get to the Golden Grass tribe? "
Musa said, "Someone stays here and walks."
"How far is your tribe from here?"
Musa shook his head. "I've seen this road before. Hmm, we have to chop it."
Big Ivan chewed his gum and asked, "Boss, are we really going in? What about the car? "
Li Du looked back and saw that there was no one around. There was no way to park the car. If they left the car here, with the security of South Africa, they would probably not even have a tire left when they returned.
However, they had no choice but to walk, unless they did not look for the possible diamond mine.
So he hesitated for a while and said decisively, "Let's go in and try. One day. If we can't find the Pygmy tribe in one day, we will come back!"
"Leave someone to guard it?" Big Ivan continued to ask.
Li Du shook his head and said, "Forget it. Drive the car into the forest and hide it. If someone wants to steal the car, let them steal it. At most, we will lose some money. If we leave someone behind and there are casualties, it will not be worth it."
They drove the car in. Brother Wolf and Big Ivan brought Godzilla to hide the four cars.
Brother Wolf cut some small trees and vines. There was a big net in the car. He combined the net and vines to make a camouflage device similar to a ghillie suit. After covering the car, no one would notice the car unless they looked from the front.
After packing up, each of them carried a large backpack and a large handbag, which was full of supplies for a day and a night's survival.
The forest was lush. After going in from the edge, there were giant trees that were more than ten or even twenty or thirty meters tall. This place was completely isolated from the outside world, like a primitive society.
Birds constantly flew over their heads. From time to time, they would startle some small animals. Brother Wolf and Ah Meow led the way, while Big Ivan and Ah Ow brought up the rear.
There were snakes and some dangerous mosquitoes in the woods. They had to spray insect repellent every half an hour to an hour.
Lu Guan was careless. Once, he did not spray the medicine in time and was bitten by a mosquito. His arm swelled up with a flesh bump that looked like a soup dumpling.
At first, it was fine. Later on, he felt itchy. Brother Wolf did not allow him to scratch his skin. Instead, he disinfected the knife, drew a small cross on the bag, and squeezed out some yellow liquid that looked like serum.
After treating Lu Guan's wound, Brother Wolf said solemnly, "Aedes mosquito, everyone be careful. Drive the mosquitoes away from each other. Don't let it bite you. It's poisonous."
It was very difficult to move through the primitive jungle. Brother Wolf kept waving the long machete, cutting the bushes, vines, and driving away the mosquitoes and poisonous snakes. He tried his best to create a better environment for the people behind him.
At noon, Brother Wolf gestured for them to rest. They found an open space in the forest. It was dry and there was a clear river flowing next to it. It was a good place to set up camp.
Li Du and Sophie could not wait to sit down, and then the sound of comfortable breathing could be heard.
Big Ivan walked over with a blade of grass in his mouth. He smiled and said, "Tired? This part of the road is actually not bad. It's a little hard to walk, but at least there's a perfect place to set up camp. "
Lu Guan was half-dead from the walk. Panting, he said, "Oh, God, please pray that the road ahead will be more perfect."
Musa did not rest. After entering the rainforest, he changed his mood. He was no longer as scared and timid as before. He became confident and relaxed.
He was short and skinny, like a monkey. He walked through the forest effortlessly.
The others rested, but he did not. He said, "I'll go chop. There's electricity. It smells good."
Li Du nodded, handed him a knife, and said, "Be careful."
Musa did not take the knife. Instead, he looked at the Black Mamba crossbow in his hand.
Li Du handed him the crossbow, and he happily took it. He carried some short arrows and walked away with light footsteps.
Brother Wolf was preparing to cook. However, he rummaged through his backpack and suddenly fell silent.
"What's wrong?" Li Du saw that his expression was not right.
Brother Wolf said, "I made a big mistake."
Li Du was a little nervous. He quickly stood up and said, "What's wrong?"
"I didn't take the tinder!"
Li Du heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I thought it was something serious. Isn't it just the tinder? Who took it? "
The group of people looked at each other. None of them had brought the tinder.
Big Ivan said helplessly, "Boss Wolf, have you been comfortable for too long? You didn't even bring a lighter? "
Brother Wolf's expression became even uglier. Li Du comforted him, "It's okay. At most, we won't go any further. Besides, we brought fast food. It's okay without a tinder."
"I have a way to start a fire. I just don't think this kind of mistake should be made." Brother Wolf's expression was still ugly. To him, this was a very low-level mistake.
Li Du had never thought about the problem of the tinder. He had diamonds, money, jewelry, food, water, and medicine in the black hole, but no tinder.
Brother Wolf looked up at the sky. He went to collect some dry bark and weeds. Then he used a dagger and a stone to grind the bark.
Li Du said, "You want to start a fire by drilling wood?"
Brother Wolf shook his head and said, "No, there's a simpler way."
He ground the dry bark into powder, took out a clean sealed bag, and filled it with some water.
When he came back with the bag, he found an angle, rolled the bag into a flat ball, and placed it on top of the bark powder.
Seeing this, Sophie laughed and said, "Is this a convex mirror? Good idea. "
"What about at night? Moonlight won't work, right? "Lu Guan asked.
Brother Wolf said, "It's easier at night."
Not long after, a little white smoke appeared on the bark powder. As the white smoke increased, suddenly, a small flame appeared.
Seeing this, Brother Wolf immediately put the hay in, and the fire was lit.
After that, they cooked with a fire as usual. They had brought enough food, so they did not look for wild game. Brother Wolf was worried that the blood of wild game would attract unnecessary trouble.
However, Big Ivan caught some small fish by the river. They were all edible freshwater fish. Li Du brought seasonings and used them to cook a pot of soup.
The wild fish were delicious, and the stewed fish soup was delicious. The dry biscuits they brought with them were dipped in the hot fish soup, which tasted better than canned meat.
However, from the time they cooked to the time they finished eating to the time they rested, Musa did not return.
