Nine deaths and one chance to live had always been synonymous with the Amarillo Jungle. Here, as long as one's eyes could see, there could be danger lurking. Even if it was just an insignificant bug, it could kill a person.
The ground was light red, as if it had been watered with blood. Stepping on it would leave shallow footprints.
Vines, branches, and withered leaves covered the ground, not leaving much space. It also provided more hiding places for more creatures.
There were tall trees all around, and the dense branches and leaves formed an impenetrable roof above their heads, making it impossible to estimate the approximate height of the trees.
Here, except for the river that ran through the forest, which was a muddy yellow color, everything else was green. There were basically no colorful flowers to be seen.
Walking in such an environment, one's sense of time and space would unconsciously become disjointed. No matter how long they walked, the surrounding scenery would still give them a sense of déjà vu.
When they first entered the Amarillo Jungle, the most common plant they saw was the Arrow Bamboo, which was the main material used to build Amarillo Village.
The Arrow Bamboo's trunk was relatively thin, and it was one or two times larger than ordinary bamboo. However, the canopy was unusually lush, giving people the illusion that it could cover the sky and the sun.
The three of them walked into the jungle, and the City of Gold that Dongba casually mentioned became the topic of conversation.
"In ancient times, a powerful empire was born in the Amarillo Jungle. That empire used the endless gold in the Amarillo Jungle to build a capital city. Whether it was the palace or the temple, they were all built with a large amount of gold."
"Compared to the legend of the City of Gold, the Golden Lake is more convincing. After all, there has never been any news of the ruins of the City of Gold, but there is indeed a lake in the Amarillo Jungle."
Dongba pulled Dead Fish Eye and walked in the jungle like a tour guide, explaining the legend of the City of Gold.
He used some attractive stories to lower the vigilance of these two people, and then slowly led them into a trap.
This was Dongba's plan, but the legend of the City of Gold and the Golden Lake was not a story made up casually. It was real.
Every year, many people from all over the world came to the Amarillo Jungle for the legend, but most of them experienced the horror of the Amarillo Jungle.
Countless hunters lurking in the dark took the humans who trespassed into their territory as their hunting targets. Like a bloody mouth opened to the extreme, they swallowed countless outsiders.
Luo and Bohara each held a piece of jerky, chewing as they listened to Dongba's explanation. They were like tourists who had signed up for a tour.
"And then?"
Luo chewed the jerky that tasted good and urged Dongba to continue.
Dongba was like a talkative and qualified tour guide. He continued, "The Golden City has a monarchy. Legend has it that during the coronation ceremony, the heir to the throne will be naked and smeared with gold powder. Then, he will swim in the lake to wash off the gold powder."
"During this process, the subjects will throw all kinds of gold ornaments into the lake to show their acknowledgment and submission to the heir to the throne."
"This is the origin of the Golden Lake. By the way, these are all legends. So far, no one has ever found a large amount of gold in the Amarillo Jungle."
Dongba said while quietly observing the surrounding environment. This was the main area of the Arrow Bamboo tree, and it was also the place where the land spider crabs were more active. He had to find the spider crabs first …
"So, how do you conclude that the woman just now came for the Golden City?" Luo swallowed the jerky and smiled at Dongba.
Dongba stretched out his index finger and replied calmly, "Although no one has found a large amount of gold, many people have found some fine gold ornaments in the only lake in Amarillo."
"Oh?" Luo was quite surprised. If this was true, it would be a strong confirmation. But when Sambuka inquired about the Amarillo Jungle, he didn't see any information about the Golden City, so he didn't know if it was true or not.
Maybe, in this vast and boundless jungle, there really was a brilliant ancient civilization, even if it was just a flash in the pan of a long history …
If there really was a Golden City, then, in the ruins that never saw the light of day, there may be a lot of antiques that have been settled over time.
"The gold ornaments that have been found seem to tell people that there is indeed a Golden City here, so there are many people who are not afraid of death. Every year, many people want to come to the Amarillo Jungle to try their luck."
"Of course, these people don't end well, and no matter how many people die in the Amarillo Jungle, you can't see the body, because …" Dongba showed a dangerous smile, as if he was telling a ghost story to scare children, he said, "Here, not even a bone will be left."
Bohala scratched his cheek and said seriously, "Not even a bone will be left, it seems that there must be ferocious dogs here."
"Mr. Dongba knows a lot." Luo was surprised, he gently clapped his hands and offered a friendly applause.
"Ha …"
Dongba's face twitched slightly, he explained, "I have a habit, no matter where I go, I will do my homework in advance, just to be prepared."
"Good habit." Luo gave Dongba a thumbs up.
Dongba smiled, at this moment, he suddenly stopped and held his stomach, and made a series of growling sounds.
Bohala wondered, "Are you hungry?"
"That's more like the sound of diarrhea." Luo said helplessly.
"Oh." Bohala suddenly understood.
"That …" Dongba held his stomach and squatted, his face showed a slight pain, and said, "I'm going to relieve myself, you two go to the front and wait for me."
"No problem."
Luo took a deep look at Dongba and took Bohala to the front, ready to wait for Dongba to solve the inventory in his stomach.
The look in Luo Na's eyes before he turned around and left made Dong Ba's heart skip a beat. However, when he saw that the two of them had already walked ahead, he immediately smiled sinisterly. He quickly got up and retreated a distance. He walked into a low shrub and pretended to relieve himself.
He walked all the way, but he has been looking for land spider crabs, and just now, he finally found one, so he pretended to have diarrhea and let Luo and Bohala go ahead first.
"Good luck." Dongba silently looked at the back of Luo and Bohala.
Arrow bamboo trees are everywhere here, and there are many different big trees. Their common feature is that the canopy is dense and covers most of the light source.
After Luo and Bohala walked side by side for dozens of meters, the surrounding Arrow bamboo trees moved without warning. Under their gaze, four or five tree trunks rose from the ground and lifted into the air, revealing the sharp bottom.
Land spider crabs disguised as bamboo forest …?
Looking at the four or five arrows hanging in the air, Luo looked calm and smiled: "Bohala, do you want to eat crabs?"
Bohala also looked at the four or five Arrow bamboo hanging in the air and nodded when he heard the words.
"Then stand next to me and don't do anything." Luo said.
Bohala was taken aback and simply replied: "Okay."
Before his voice faded away, the Arrow Bamboos suspended in the air suddenly pierced towards Law and Boha from different directions.
In such a situation, Bohala really did nothing and just stood next to Luo.
Dongba, hiding behind the bushes, watched this scene calmly and was ready to escape.
The next second, Dongba's calm face suddenly changed and turned into an incredulous look.
