The beaver was an amphibious mammal that looked like a mouse. It had sharp teeth and webbed hind legs. It was good at swimming.
This animal was used to living next to deep lakes and ponds. After settling down, it would spend its whole life building dams with saplings, branches or twigs to increase the water level of the ponds it lived in. Sometimes, the dams they built could be hundreds of meters tall.
The Amazon River was rarely affected by human civilization. The river was wide, it was rare for it to flood the jungle even during the rainy season. However, things would be different when the beaver built dams to change the water level and the dam would collapse.
"Beaver, I heard my biology teacher talk about it before. Isn't it a rare animal? Why are there so many of them at once?!"
"Because this is the Amazon, Tina. I'm guessing there are tens of millions of animals here. Most of them have yet to be discovered by humans …"
A giant bee with spikes on its head and tail flapped its four wings all of a sudden as Zhang Lisheng was speaking. It flew past the rainforest far away and charged towards the beavers in the lake.
"Lisheng, that giant bee looks like the one you killed a few days ago. They should be animals that have yet to be discovered by humans." Tina said softly in fear as she watched the giant bee flying towards the beavers that were going crazy. It killed the beavers with its hollow spikes and sucked their flesh dry, turning them into dried skin.
Zhang Lisheng was shocked when he saw the strange bee for the second time. He knew how beneficial it was to his wizard worm to devour the strange bee.
However, Zhang Lisheng gave up the idea of taking the initiative to kill the strange bee after watching its extremely agile movement in the air. He lowered his voice and blurted out, "Such a monster can't be evolved by the Amazon. Perhaps it's a monster from the supernatural realm that was brought by the bookmark.
Stop overthinking, it's too dangerous here. Let's go, "He then controlled his wizard worm to enter the rainforest quietly.
The dense trees in the rainforest were like a cover that separated the forest from the outside into two different worlds. The rain could not penetrate the dense forest canopy, the rain fell onto the ground. The sunlight could only penetrate the mottled green leaves, turning into dim light that shone into the rainforest.
In the dark, Island Dragon stretched its long body lightly and carried the three of them along the lake.
"Let's avoid the hornet and circle to the mouth of the lake first, then follow the river. It should be easier to find the city that way."
Since ancient times, humans had been used to living by water. Zhang Lisheng's words undoubtedly made sense. The two girls' eyes lit up right away, and they responded with a 'hmm' in unison.
After moving forward in the dark jungle for a while, all of a sudden, a series of loud shouts of 'Yaluqiqiga …' and the sound of 'Pfft pfft …' that was getting closer and closer entered Zhang Lisheng's ears.
His body froze and he controlled Island Dragon to stop.
"It's a human's voice, a native's voice!" Tina, who was behind him, said in surprise, "We've finally met someone. That's great, we've walked out of the jungle …"
"It's true that we met humans, but they might be cannibals."
"With you here, it doesn't matter even if we meet the cannibals. Besides, the possibility of that is very small. If we make contact with them, there might be a city nearby."
"There's no need for us to make contact with them, they're already here. Let's hide first and see what they're after," Zhang Lisheng climbed down from Island Dragon's back and hid behind a big tree quickly.
The two girls could only climb down from their wizard worms and hide next to Zhang Lisheng. Tina said softly, "Sigh, Lisheng, I can tell that you're a Chinese after knowing you for so long. You're so careful. Overly cautious. "
"Thanks for the compliment, but shut up, Tina." Zhang Lisheng muttered witchcraft incantation softly as he spoke. He controlled Island Dragon to go invisible and climb up a giant tree trunk quietly.
The unique 'Pfft pfft …' sound that came from human feet stepping on the wet jungle ground was getting louder and louder. The natives' shouts were getting louder too.
After a while, the three of them who were hiding behind the tree vaguely saw a figure that was so skinny that only bones were left. His upper body was naked, and his body was covered in blood and mud. He was panting heavily, and he was crawling and rolling in the jungle with all his might. He was running on all fours.
The silhouette tried his best to run further, but he ran out of energy all of a sudden. He fell onto the ground and slid a couple of meters on the wet ground. He crashed into a dead tree and a deep 'crack' came from his body.
Not long after the skinny silhouette fell to the ground, two dark skinny aborigines appeared on the vines far away. There were many strange ornaments hanging on their necks, but they only used a piece of soft leaf and a hard shell to cover their private parts. In the dim dense forest, their eyes were like torches as they jumped next to their prey and cried out loud, "Ow ow ow …".
Soon, more than ten natives gathered next to the tribe's scout. Their leader pulled out a bone knife while grinning hideously at the skinny silhouette that fell onto the ground. Just when he was going to chop off the prey's head, a strange 'shh shh …' sound came from above the natives all of a sudden.
Subsequently, the two natives were sent flying by an invisible force. Their bodies were like torn rags in mid-air while their organs and blood gushed out.
At the same time they died, the other three natives had a painful expression on their faces all of a sudden. However, the expression did not even last for a second. The three natives turned into rotten skin as if all the water in their bodies had been sucked out.
Meanwhile, the native leader who pulled out the bone knife had an even more bizarre experience. He lost the lower half of his body, leaving only the upper half of his body behind. He laid on the ground while waving his hands with a blurry gaze. He could not stop groaning as he watched his organs flowing all over the ground.
In the blink of an eye, half of the more than ten native hunters were killed. At that moment, the survivors noticed a giant lizard with a long body and cold eyes appeared next to them while chewing its mouth.
The remaining natives were stunned for a moment. 'Wah, wah …' They screamed and threw the poisonous javelins in their hands at the giant lizard. They then turned around and began running in the jungle.
It was clear that they knew it was impossible for the few of them to kill the monster before them. The only way for them to survive was to escape with the help of the dense trees in the rainforest.
Unfortunately, no matter how familiar the natives were with the jungle, it was impossible for them to be faster than Island Dragon that could chase after them in a straight line in any complicated terrain. All of the natives were fatally attacked when they were only 30 meters away.
"We're safe now." Zhang Lisheng walked out from behind the tree after controlling the wizard worm to complete the hunt calmly and efficiently. He smiled in satisfaction as he sensed the natives' fear and helplessness.
Tina, who was behind him, looked at the young man's back in fear. It was as if she only understood how brutal the man before her was when he was facing an enemy, even if it was a potential enemy, after witnessing the brutal hunt.
Trish, on the other hand, was screaming hysterically, "Dead, they're all dead.
It's true that these natives are chasing after someone, but … but we don't know who exactly they're chasing.
Maybe, a fugitive, or … or … Oh god!
Oh God, you, how could you kill so many people without asking anything … "
Zhang Lisheng ignored the girl's scream and walked to the aborigine leader who only had half of his body left quietly. He squatted down and pulled a string of accessories off the aborigine's neck whose mouth was still opening and closing like a dead fish.
"They're cannibals, cannibals who love to carry 'snacks' with them," He turned around and walked to Trish who was still screaming and said expressionlessly, "They have rare burgundy hair just like you. Only half of their face is left. Can you recognize who they are?"
The two girls looked at what Zhang Lisheng was holding in shock. There was a thick tree rope piercing through his ear. It was obvious that the flesh was smoked and one side of his face was eaten clean.
Trish's scream was stuck in her stomach. She stared blankly for a while and suddenly snatched the head from Zhang Lisheng's hand, "No! Oh god! No, no, no …"
"Look carefully, the light here is very weak," The young man finally showed his kindness at this time and reminded.
"Henry … Henry's left eye had a hemangioma surgery. There's a … a very small scar left," Tina who was hugging Trish tightly said in a trembling voice.
Zhang Lisheng lowered his head to look at the oval-shaped head that was completely dehydrated. There was an obvious dent in the eye as he said softly, "I'm very sorry."
"No! God! God! No …" Trish seemed to only know how to say this one sentence. She screamed at the top of her lungs for a while and suddenly ran to the aborigine leader whose pupils were dilated and who was on his last breath while holding her brother's head. She picked up the bone knife and began slashing with all her might. Soon, she chopped the half of the body into a bloody mess.
"Trish, Trish my dear, don't do this …" Tina was shocked and wanted to stop her immediately. However, Zhang Lisheng blocked her. "I think it's better to let her vent."
Tina hesitated and stopped walking. "I can't believe there's really cannibals in the Amazon. I was blaming you for killing them just now, I can't believe …"
"I'll kill these aborigines even if I didn't see the head. They're too dangerous when we can't communicate with them."
Tina deleted the cruel part from Zhang Lisheng's words automatically. "Oh yeah, I wonder what happened to the man who was being chased by the aborigines?" She held back her nausea as she spoke and ran to the skeleton-like fugitive under the tree.
Tina did not help the man up recklessly when she got close to him. Instead, she kicked him carefully with her leg. "Hi sir, do you understand English?"
The fugitive hung his head and did not answer. Tina looked closer and realized that he had broken his neck.
She sighed and walked to Trish's side. She squatted down and hugged her best friend who had vented her anger and was on the verge of collapsing. "Trish, don't be sad. Henry will rest in peace in heaven. He's looking at you from heaven. Don't let him worry …"
Hearing her best friend's comfort, Trish began crying in sorrow. Tina could not help but hug her head and cry as well when she heard her crying.
