Indiana Jones

Chapter 100 Sleepless Nights (04)

It was not Diao Xiao who snatched Agui away, but a tree python. Their attention was all on Diao Xiao, and no one expected that a tree python would appear suddenly, let alone be attacked unexpectedly.

When they realized that Agui had disappeared from their field of vision, leaving only the swaying canopy, everyone froze there, not knowing what to do, and by the time they thought of chasing him, it was already too late. Li Siming didn't even think about chasing them with a gun. Agui is a jungle "expert" among them. With him, he can solve many problems. It can be said that they are guaranteed to survive in the forest, so they can't live without him.

Rhodes hesitated for a moment and followed suit. At this moment, the eagle owl who had been wandering around also attacked them. Liang Rong was arrested by the eagle owl. Although she was very thin, she was not the eagle owl. The weight she bears can barely pull her off the ground.

"Damn...he came to sneak attack." Si Xuanyi was furious, raised his knife and swung the knife to cut off the two legs of the eagle owl. Liang Rong fell to the ground, and Si Xuanyi turned the knife and chopped the eagle owl into pieces two slices.

"Run...fire..." Ma Zhong's voice brought everyone back to reality. It turned out that the forest fire had already caught up.

By this time, they had no time to care about Agui's life and death, and everyone started to rush forward. The heat wave made their mouths dry, and they felt as if they would be cooked at any time.

The rain finally came down. The torrential rain that had been brewing for a long time fell from the sky with the strong wind. However, the fire was burning fiercely. It could not be extinguished by the rain at 01:30. There was still a lot of water heated up, and they seemed to have fallen into a steamer for a moment. This was completely different from the sweltering heat of the day. Almost instantly they screamed from being scalded, and their exposed skin turned red instantly.

Li Siming and Rhodes quickly caught up with them, but there was no trace of Agui, and they couldn't catch up with the tree python at all. They had no choice but to return, but the fire was too tight and they could only run away. He caught up with Si Xuanyi and the others.

"I can't do it, I'm going to burn to death." Ma Zhong screamed and ran forward, but he couldn't get up to speed, he stumbled and fell, it was like this in the woods, it was hard to walk, let alone run.

"It's steamed..." Li Siming felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to breathe. Besides being too tired, another reason was that there was steam everywhere. The hot steam was sucked into his lungs and burned him from nose to chest. .

"Persevere... the rain is getting heavier, and the temperature will drop." Si Xuanyi said while panting heavily. He was right, indeed, the rain was getting heavier and the fire was weakening, but... far more than he expected Slowly, the temperature did not drop so quickly.

"Water... pond!" Rhodes shouted in front, but the others didn't understand it at all during the confusion. They didn't realize that there was a large pond in front of him until Rhodes jumped down.

This can be regarded as a life-saving straw. The pond can separate them from the scorching steam. Several people jumped down quickly, and the cool dripping water made them loosen, which made them feel very comfortable.

In this way, they lie down in the pond to avoid the steam everywhere, and they can only poke their heads out to take a breath from time to time. Hiding in a water is not as easy as imagined, because they are out of breath after running for a long time Breathing out, once she retracted into the water conservancy, it was difficult to breathe, and she choked a lot of water, almost calling him and the others, especially Liang Rong, who was weak in physique, went into a coma. If it weren't for Si Xuanyi and Rhodes, she would have died in the Here, it wasn't until ten minutes later that the temperature in the surrounding area slowly dropped due to the heavy rain, and everyone was relieved. These 10 minutes were as long as ten years.

"Let's go..." Si Xuanyi urged everyone to leave the pond.

"It's okay... Let's rest again!" Ma Zhong gasped.

"Yeah...the temperature outside is still very high." Li Siming didn't want to crawl out of the water either.

"Don't die?" Si Xuanyi pointed to them a few meters away, only then did everyone realize that there was a crocodile crawling just a short distance away. These crocodiles were probably also frightened and all huddled together and remained motionless.

Ma Zhong's reaction was always half a beat slower than others. When everyone started to escape from the pond, he was still staring there, and when he saw it clearly, he jumped up with a scream and rolled and crawled ashore.

"Go quickly... while they are still..." Li Siming coughed a few times, choking on a lot of water just now, it was difficult to speak.

Several people left the pond as if fleeing this time. The heavy rain was still falling, and the ground had already accumulated deep water. They could only walk forward with difficulty. During this process, they saw a crocodile swimming by not far away. .

"It can't be down here..." Si Xuanyi looked around, "Ah Gui..." He just remembered that Agui was gone, and couldn't help feeling disappointed, "Look for a tree and take shelter..."

They found a nearby tree and climbed up and squatted on the branches to wait for the rain to stop. Without Agui, they didn't have the skills to weave rattan, so they had to make do. Only then did they find that Agui was more useful than they thought.

"Agui, I'm afraid it's more dangerous than good." Li Siming sighed while wearing his raincoat, "We can't catch up with that tree python, and his speed is faster than expected."

"Hmm..." Si Xuanyi didn't say much, but he knew that Li Siming was right.

"What should we do? Without Agui, we will be in trouble." Ma Zhong said, he is still very clear about Agui's role in the team. Agui can guarantee the direction and attack some wild animals. He made a prediction that the herbs he picked can heal wounds and prevent diseases, and hunting can provide them with enough extra food. Now that Agui is gone, they have to do these things by themselves, and there are many things they can’t do, such as As for the identification of herbal medicine, only Agui can know it. Although they can understand it briefly, it is not as comprehensive as Agui.

"The matter has come to this point, I am worried that the problem will not be solved." Liang Rong said, "I can identify the direction. During this time, Agui and Agui have also learned a lot of ways to identify herbs. Although there are not many methods, it should be enough."

"No matter Agui in our bar, accept the reality!" Li Siming sighed, "We can only continue."

"Ah Gui's accident is our greatest loss." Si Xuanyi took a deep breath, "You are right, we must face the reality."

"Damn..." Ma Zhong cursed, a little desperate.

For a while, everyone was silent, and they knew exactly what kind of dilemma they would face in the future.

"What's that?" Li Siming pointed to the darkness under the tree, when two huge glowing bright spots kept shaking.
