A dragon lizard that was nearly ten meters long, other than its head, which was used for the Roman warriors to command and ride, only the spine in the middle of its back without barbs could be placed on two saddles sewn with thick leather.
Not only that, the two chief warriors, one at the front and the other at the back, would consciously take on the responsibility of opening the way and guarding the back. No leather saddles could be placed on the back of the beast, so only less than 30 out of the more than 50 people in the first group of the Chinese mission to explore the jungle could ride on the back of the dragon lizard.
Fortunately, the remaining true disciples of each sect who were in charge of protection had their own unique skills. The Gate of Dao's sword-riding and talisman-drawing.
The Buddhist's hand seal to summon the guardian and use the magical weapon.
The Gate of Witchcraft's incarnation to summon the insects.
The Muslim mullahs could summon the gods and spirits, so it was a piece of cake for them to pass through the jungle.
Guo Caiying quickly walked up to the dragon lizard that was closest to her and stepped on the protruding scales to climb onto the saddle. Looking around, she saw all kinds of strange phenomena that appeared like a kaleidoscope in broad daylight and could not help but sigh before muttering, "This is too unscientific.
No matter how many times I see it, I still feel that this scene is unreal. "
"Madam Guo, no matter if you think it's real or not, this is the reality of this era." Riding on the leather saddle behind the girl, Zhang Lisheng curled his lips and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's scientific or not. What's important is that we'll be very safe with so many superpower companions to protect us."
Upon seeing how the young man seemed to be satisfied with the role he was playing, Guo Caiying's originally slightly depressed mood was lifted right away. She could not help but glare at Zhang Lisheng with a smile.
She felt that it was just a small action that did not reveal any flaws, but she did not understand that there was a proverb that said, "Love and a cold can't be hidden." Not far away, Liu Yiteng, who had been quietly watching Guo Caiying's every move, saw the expression on her face that was completely different from usual. His heart tightened as he frowned.
Standing more than 30 meters away on Liu Yiteng's right was a beautiful young woman with slightly tanned skin. She looked like she was dancing ballet but was actually half an inch off the ground. She was also looking at Liu Yiteng and Guo Caiying with a sad and hazy expression on her face.
"Junior Sister Tao, you and Xiangzhou will focus on protecting Director-General Guo when we enter the jungle later," A young man with a handsome face who was also hovering in the air next to the woman did not notice her strange expression. He advised softly, "You have the Yingzhou secret realm with you while Senior Sister Xiangzhou specializes in killing. If there's an accident, you'll focus on defense while Senior Sister Xiangzhou …"
On the other side of the man, a pretty woman with a heroic aura interrupted him impatiently, "Stop being so long-winded, Lianbao. Since you're the one commanding us to leave the mountain this time, Lulu and I have our own sense of propriety. Just obediently give us the order. Why are you being so impatient?"
The dark-skinned young woman also concealed the strange expression on her face and said, "Senior Martial Brother Duan, just give the order."
"Senior Brother Duan, you can just give the order." Duan Lianbao, who was no longer as childish as he used to be, smiled and no longer said anything. Then, as Orfanluo shouted, "Let's go!" Together with everyone, they flew into the primitive jungle.
The fertile soil, warm climate, and abundant rain had given birth to many creatures under the nourishment of the long period of time. Hidden among the dark giant trees whose roots protruded on the ground and vines densely covered the air like a spider's web.
The lizard domesticated by Warrior Roman had a slender body with a soft skeleton. Although it looked huge, it seemed to be effortless for it to travel in the rainforest.
Sitting on the lizard's back, Zhang Lisheng, who was traveling freely in the jungle, experienced the astonishing speed of the foreign world's riding beast. Looking at the endless canopy that covered the sky above his head, he could not help but reminisce about the past while pretending to ask Guo Caiying, "Miss Guo, the search is so sloppy. What exactly are we looking for?"
"We're looking for an ancient relic of a certain scale of a rainforest civilization or the ruins of an indigenous tribe. Don't worry, we won't miss it no matter how fast we go," Guo Caiying, whose body was bouncing up and down like a horse, answered.
"A large-scale relic or ruin, huh? Then it must be a place where a large group of natives used to live. In that case, we should explore according to the flow of the river. Isn't this common sense?" The young man thought about it and said.
"Dr. Fu, this is the Amazon. It rains all year round. The characteristics of a plains civilization that lives in rivers are not applicable here." Liu Yiteng, who was riding on a big lizard that was moving parallel to the dragon lizard that Guo Caiying was riding, took the initiative to speak first with his half-baked knowledge.
"Oh sir, there's a misunderstanding in your point of view. What we're looking for is not a relic or ruin, but a large-scale relic or ruin," Zhang Lisheng shrugged and retorted. "The farming civilization of the plains lives by the river for the water source. It's true that a jungle civilization like the Amazon doesn't need to worry about the water source as they live along the river.
However, the big tribes in the rainforest are an exception because they rely on collecting and hunting to maintain the survival of a large population. They must have a stable supply of food and the simplest source of food in the Amazon is fishing. For this reason, the large-scale relic or ruin here must be next to a large river or lake. "
"Dr. Xu, does Dr. Fu's judgment make sense?" Guo Caiying's eyes lit up as she asked loudly to a man with a pointy mouth and monkey cheeks who looked to be in his thirties who was frowning and had a pale face while riding on the dragon lizard's back.
"Ah! Ah! W-Director Guo, what did you say?" The man snapped back to his senses and asked.
"Dr. Fu just raised a theory saying that the Amazon's large-scale …" Guo Caiying could only repeat what Zhang Lisheng said loudly. This time, it inevitably attracted the attention of many people in the team.
After hearing Guo Caiying's words, the man with a pointy mouth and monkey cheeks was stunned for a while. His face flushed but he said firmly, "I-I've thought about this before, Dr. Fu.
However, the Amazon River has changed its course many times since ancient times. If we really want to find something, it's better to use the dragnet search method that we're using now. "
Zhang Lisheng chuckled and said, "Oh, Dr. Xu, as a scientist, the most important quality is to have divergent thinking.
Don't you know that the rainier the jungle is, the more traceable the river's change will be? A naturalist with rich experience and knowledge only needs to … "
"Alright, Dr. Fu, we'll do the search according to the original plan this time. If we don't find anything, we'll try your idea again when we draw up a plan next time." Guo Caiying suddenly interrupted the young man and ended the argument. However, at this time, many people's impression of Zhang Lisheng, who was playing the role of the 'foreign aid' who joined out of nowhere, had unknowingly changed.
The jungle was dark and quiet. Ordinary people could only see the beautiful scenery of the Amazon through the sunlight that passed through the gaps of the lush leaves.
If they were trekking on foot, they would not feel it if they had to keep their spirits up. However, riding on the lizard dragon's back, they would easily feel sleepy and tired. After a few hours, other than the sect's protectors, most of the people in the exploration team began to feel drowsy.
However, Guo Caiying, who had just undergone a Gold Core transplant and had undergone a life transformation while riding with her lover, did not feel tired at all.
Even though she did not chat with the young man to conceal Zhang Lisheng's identity, she would still talk to him from time to time without concealing her smile. She even secretly mouthed some sensitive topics. "Lisheng, I'll figure out a way to get those researchers from the Religious Affairs Bureau to help you look for Tiantai Mountain when we rest tonight.
Oh yeah, I think the so-called secret realm is just an incomplete miniature foreign world. There'll definitely be a sign if it appears.
That's right, I've recalled carefully. I think I've seen a piece of news about the Gate of Dao obtaining a secret realm in that document. Perhaps they have a special way to help you. What kind of excuse should I use … "
In the dark, Zhang Lisheng could not help but sigh as he looked at Guo Caiying's thoughtful expression. He knew that the girl did not know how to read lips, so he secretly wrote on the back that Guo Caiying deliberately placed behind her, "Senior Sister, don't be so anxious. I'm just looking for Tiantai Mountain to avoid trouble. It's fine even if I can't find it."
"How is it fine? That's the place where Nuwa's inheritance is hidden. I have a hunch that it'll be very useful to you if you find it," The girl turned her head and mouthed.
Just like that, the two of them chatted intermittently in silence, not noticing the passage of time at all. It was only until the Roman warrior chief shouted in an open woodland, "Stop!" that they realized that the sunlight between the canopy above their heads had already turned into moonlight.
"Director-General Guo, looks like we're out of luck today. We're destined to have no harvest at all, "Ofanluo said with a wry smile after walking for hundreds of kilometers in a day, but they did not even see the shadow of an abandoned native tribe." It's been a long journey for a day, so the lizard dragon must be hunting and resting now. Can we just camp here? "
"Sure, we'll camp here!" Knowing that not only the lizard dragon, but the administrative officials and scientists in her team had also reached their limits, Guo Caiying nodded and leaped down from the back of the beast.
When the others heard their leader's words, they cheered first before climbing down from the lizard dragon while wailing. They rubbed their legs and stretched their legs. Some of them even slumped on the woodland the moment they touched the ground.
When Guo Caiying saw the poor performance of her subordinates, she finally realized that she was in high spirits and that everything was normal. Immediately, she pretended to shake her waist and breathed a long sigh of relief. "In that case, Commander Ofanluo, Commander Mandis, please bring the soldiers under you to feed the lizard dragon and guard the periphery.
As for the rest, Director-General Duan, please summon the Immortal Palace. Director-General Li, Director-General Qian, Director-General Amati, set up a formation and set up a second line of defense. "
"As you wish, honorable lady." Ofanluo bowed deeply and led the foreign world's warriors into the dense forest, disappearing without a trace. The other true disciples of the Chinese sects who were called by Guo Caiying quickly responded and got busy.
