Chapter 265
Nine million miles south of the metropolitan area, there is a huge hot and humid jungle. This place is not liked by most wild beasts, but it is a paradise for ordinary creatures. The scene of the jungle is a bit similar to the tropical rainforest. It is full of moisture, and there are intertwined aquatic trees everywhere. The underground trees are covered with vines and all kinds of fungi, as well as mottled weeds. Countless unknown insects fly among them, rushing down a few birds from the canopy from time to time, enjoying these handy ones. Delicious. This place is like the underwater world of the earth. So far, it has not been fully explored by the residents of the divine realm, and I don't know how many unknown mysterious creatures are hidden in it. Although this place is deep into the south and far from the metropolitan area, because of its unique geographical conditions, it is not affected by the powerful law wind, so it has become One of the places where biological explorers are competing to go. Not long after Wang Qi and Collins walked into the jungle, they met several teams. Collins came here not to discover unknown creatures, but to verify her inference in the research some time ago, and needed to find a rare animal. Therefore, although these teams invited them to join, they were politely rejected by Collins.
After the two entered the jungle, they walked for six days in a row. With the help of Wang Qi, there were basically no obstacles in the forest. Collins had almost no place to go, but the kind of animal she was looking for was not seen. However, this not only did not make her depressed, but also aroused her competitive spirit, so they went deeper and deeper south and farther away from the metropolitan area.
On the afternoon of the seventh day, the two came to a river with a very slow flow. The direction of the river was roughly the same as the direction they were going, so Collins decided to go down the river.
After listening to Collins' decision, Wang Qi slapped a big tree in the air, brushed it several times, cut it into a flat raft several meters long and wide, threw it on the river, gently flew up and down with Collins, and then blew back, and the raft floated to the middle of the river. With the last bonus, Collins has changed her gun. Instead of using the bulky camera glasses last time, she brought a set of holographic cameras and installed them on Zhou's body. As long as she has been there, the surrounding scenes can be recorded. With the technology of the divine realm, this kind of tool is not rare, but the inspection supplies outside the metropolitan area are different from ordinary items and must be able to withstand the sudden test of law and wind. Therefore, the manufacturing process and technical requirements have been improved a lot, and the price has become extremely expensive. The last bonus was quite a lot, but almost half of it was spent for this thing.
In the middle of the raft, it suddenly stopped and stopped. Wang Qi looked at the water on the side a few times and found that it was held by the underwater stone. He was about to clear the big stone. Suddenly, a few thick rotten woods suddenly appeared on the surface of the water. There were two well-separated eyes on the wood, and he blinked at them. Wang Qi and Collins have not known each other for a day or two, and most of her books are biological, so he knows nothing about these ordinary animals. At a glance, he knows that it is a crocodile-like reptile, which is larger, but gentle and soft, and even helpful. They are quite spiritual. He often acts as a vehicle for the inspection team and cruises around the forest. As soon as Collins saw them, she jumped on their backs, waved to Wang Qi and said, "Come here, they are much more reliable than your raft."
"This is very hurtful." Wang Qi smiled and flew on the back of the giant crocodile. He waved a little and brought out a finger to break part of the underwater boulder just now. The gravel blew it out of the water. Wang Qi stretched out his hand and immediately sucked them into his palm, spread them out in front of Collins, and smiled, "Come on."
"Of course I'm here," Collins grabbed the gravel and threw a drop on the river in front of her. She heard a splash, splashing some water, and the giant crocodile under her feet immediately swam there. Collins turned around and said, "You seem to be getting more and more powerful now. The hands just now look casual, but they are very accurate."
"I have been trained by the devil instructor for a year, which is naturally different from before." Wang Qi smiled and said, "But isn't your development direction biological? When did you start to study these things? I don't know anything."
"Don't forget that we are also one of the creatures. Even if I go to study your barbaric combat behavior, there is nothing strange about it. Fighting within the population is a very important topic." Collins said, threw another stone, and the giant crocodile went downstream. She glanced at Wang Qi and said, "I lied to you. You really believe it. Don't forget, I've seen the first space beast you killed with my own eyes. Compared with the two, the result is obvious. I can't figure out such a thing. It's really stupid.
"Real?" Wang Qi smiled and said casually, but ignored her. He just looked at the depths of the forest, where there were small animals from time to time, which looked very pretty.
Collins can't take care of this. She looks left and right and pays attention to the changes in the ecological environment around her. Now there is no clue at all. She can only narrow the search according to that kind of animal living habits. The riverside is where animals drink water. If they do exist, they will definitely leave special traces around.
The two of them traveled downstream along the river. During this period, they stopped and walked. Occasionally, they searched suspicious places and went ashore from time to time to make some unrelated shots. In addition, they chatted with Wang Qi. Ten days have passed. Wang Qi speculated that at this rate, if they are unlucky, it is really a question whether their investigation can end in a short time. However, Collins, the master, didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. She looked happy every day. Not only did she not improve her speed, but she became slower.
At noon one day, the two ate the fruit that had just been picked from afar on the back of the giant crocodile. Wang Qi finally couldn't help saying, "Collins, the pace of action is too slow now. It should be time to leave this area. I think the current search operation has a tendency to become an outing.
Collins ate the fruit in her mouth and stared at him and said, "Why, are you impatient with me?"
"I dare not. It's just that my vacation is only three months. If I can't find it at that time, I have to leave. I'm worried about you staying in the jungle alone. Many animals can't cope with ray guns, and it's not just animals that are dangerous."
Collins snorted, but her tone turned gentle and said, "I have my own measure in this matter. You don't have to worry about it. Do you think I'm a person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat?" She paused and looked up and down at Wang Qi and said, "It's really rare for an outsider like you. How long have you been in this world? Are you so responsible?"
Wang Qi smiled and sighed, "It has nothing to do with responsibility, but a matter of self-cognition. I'm afraid you can't understand how a person will feel when he arrives in another world and will never feel when he goes back. I don't know what other people think, but when I first came here, that sense of isolation was really indescribable. It took me a long time to recover. Now it's rare to have the direction of work and life in this world. With you good friends, I have a sense of belonging. I don't want to spoil it casually.
Collins looked at him, her eyes became extremely soft, and she didn't say anything. She just ate something silently, and then the two continued to set out. However, Wang Qi's reminder seemed to be in vain. Collins had no idea to change the status quo, and it was still as slow as before.
About a month after the departure time, the two said goodbye to the kind-hearted giant crocodile and stepped into the forest again. At this time, the road became more and more congested. Wang Qi made a wooden stick to open the road in front of him. Collins followed closely and searched for the traces left by the animal in the forest. As soon as Collins became serious, she was extremely focused. She couldn't say a few words every day, and Wang Qi had to admire her dedication.
This spirit soon paid off. In the middle of this month, they found somewhere the footprints and feces of the animals they were looking for, as well as the deep tooth marks left on the trees. Although the traces have been going on for a long time, it is confirmed that there is indeed a community of this kind of animal in the forest, which cheered the two.
Collins controlled the aircraft from a long distance and flew somewhere in front of them, keeping it within the range of remote control. Then the two continued to move forward and investigate more carefully. After another ten days, they finally gained something, and they found new traces. According to Collins' inference, they went south, and it should have been no more than three days before they left. Seeing that success was in front of them, both of them were excited.
