Chapter 175 Dangerous Mileage

Gu Tianyou was the only one in the room who heard the violent wind and rain outside the window. He immediately stood up and chased after him on the pretext of going to the bathroom. There was no one outside the house, and Gu Tianyou came to the courtyard again, but he still found nothing. The man outside the window moved quickly.

The next morning, the expedition team went on their way again. The sky was temporarily clear, and the sky was as clear as a wash. The air was so fresh that it was even more satisfying to smoke than marijuana. A few students\' romantic cells came to life again, sitting on elephants and talking about the scenery along the way, grass covering the forest, golden temples, beautiful world. The five mercenaries sat on the elephant, silent like five statues.

Going west along the repaired Thai-Myanmar Highway, they would occasionally pass through a large part of Zero Kingdom. On their way to Fengsong at night, they would often see travelers\' cars breaking down at the roadside and waiting for rescue. Currently, he was still in Thailand, so it was much safer and the journey was a bit easier. According to the Toothless Elephant, there would be no such a smooth path when it was out of Ode to Night. The Thai Border Guards were still able to handle it, but the difficult task was to deal with the patrols of the mountain army.

The number of mountain troops was limited. Gu Tianyou analyzed that there shouldn\'t be too many troops on patrol in such a large area. Liu Feng said in a relaxed tone that the size of a hundred people was not enough to worry about. The Toothless Elephant was the squadron leader of Guos Army\'s Special Operations Squadron, and he was already considered half an expert in jungle warfare. After dealing with the people of the mountain army for a long time, he naturally knew how powerful the other party was. Hearing Liu Feng\'s words, he couldn\'t help but feel somewhat unconvinced.

After traveling 40 to 50 kilometers west, the road ahead was washed away, and a village upstream was affected. The bodies of people and animals were washed down by the water, scaring several university students into silence. Immediately, they lost all mood to watch the scenery. There were no more roads to follow.

Just as Gu Tianyou was about to tell them that the truly difficult journey had yet to begin, he suddenly heard someone calling for help in Chinese. Following the sound, he saw a traveler standing on a bus booth several hundred meters away. The current was very fast, and that person had been trapped there for an unknown period of time.

In the same foreign land, there was no reason not to save his fellow countrymen when they were in distress.

Gu Tianyou and his group came closer. It turned out to be a pretty young girl. She had a pretty good figure and was wet. She was carrying a big travel bag. She looked very miserable and pleaded with expectation, "Save me. I\'m Chinese. Please help me."

Gu Tianyou nodded. There were two elephants in the team who were specifically responsible for camel supplies. A few mercenaries spread the supplies on one of the elephants among the other elephants and settled the girl on the elephant. The elephant lowered its body. The girl was not nervous and jumped onto the elephant\'s back.

"What\'s your name? Why are you trapped here?"

"Thank you for saving me, Jiang Fei, Fenghua Ren. I\'m a biologist." The girl\'s elephant was on par with Gu Tianyou, and she stretched out her hand generously.

Gu Tianyou shook hands with her and said, "Miss Jiang, nice to meet you. You haven\'t said why you\'re trapped here yet."

Jiang Fei said, "I was studying biology. I had an academic exchange with the Royal Academy here. Originally, several of us came here to collect biological specimens. We didn\'t expect to encounter a hurricane. Last night, our car was overturned by a flash flood. I got out of the car and was trapped here by the water for the night."

Gu Tianyou said, "You must be starving, right?"

"I have chocolate in my bag," Jiang Fei said. "Otherwise, I wouldn\'t have been able to last until now."

Gu Tianyou said, "We have an expedition project. It\'s impossible to stop for you. There are still 30 kilometers to go. Let\'s go our separate ways when we send you there."

Jiang Fei sighed and said, "I wonder how my companions are doing now."

Gu Tianyou said, "In this situation, even though we know that we can\'t count on the local police, we have no other hope. We can only call the police."

Jiang Fei said, "You have so many people, elephants and guns, can\'t you bring me to find my companions? The place where they disappeared is very far up there. I called the police long ago, and even the person who rescued me hasn\'t come yet." As he spoke, he looked like he was about to cry.

Before Gu Tianyou could agree, the old professor at the side interrupted, "President Gu, you are all compatriots. Help her if you can. Just throw her into the night. In this situation, it\'s hard to guarantee that no other accidents will happen to a girl like her."

Everyone has a heart of endurance.

Gu Tianyou was not heartless. Although he still had some doubts about this girl, he still nodded and said, "Alright, you can follow first."

Jiang Fei thanked him repeatedly.

The further west he went, the harder the path became. Elephants are one of the smartest animals. They can sense changes in the water ahead of time, seek good fortune and avoid evil, and choose the most correct path forward. Gradually, the team had left the road, and GPS showed that they seemed to have bypassed Night Fengsong City.

The further ahead, the denser the forest, and the more obvious the upward trend of the mountain. At first, he could occasionally see smoke and paddy fields, but later, he gradually moved away from the crowd. He saw Old Lin Sensen, with shrubs and strange stones scattered on both sides. The deeper he went, the more he couldn\'t see anyone. The road ahead was rugged, and the environment was unimaginably complex. Apart from the dense jungles and swamps that did not see the sun, there were also poisonous snakes and evil beasts that roamed about, and demonic mist and miasma wreaked havoc.

On one occasion, they even encountered a five-meter-long python, scaring several students to the point that their expressions changed drastically. The brainless mercenary named Gu Tianyou excitedly whistled and jumped off the elephant. He grabbed the python\'s tail, and after playing around for a while, he wanted to skin it with a dagger. The students were dumbfounded and filled with admiration. They didn\'t have the brains to hold down the snake head and just as they were about to attack, that Jiang Fei suddenly shouted to stop!

"This python is pregnant. Killing it is unlucky." Jiang Fei explained, "Such a big python needs to live for at least ten to twenty years. Killing it will destroy the biological structure of the area. What a pity."

He glanced at Gu Tianyou. These mercenaries were all arrogant people. Other than the words of the Money God, no one else could say anything. Gu Tianyou waved his hand and said, "Let it go, for good luck."

"GPS indicates that this should be the python on the Thai-Myanmar border. It belongs to the main branch of the Rakhine Mountains, spanning more than 200 kilometers. It is unimaginably rich in species. Are you planning to search for ore veins here?" Jiang Fei said. She looked at Professor Qin and asked.

Gu Tianyou took the conversation and said, "It\'s just passing by."

Jiang Fei said worriedly, "There are Koyaks and Rakhines in this mountain. There are also a few Kachins who settle there. It\'s better to say that the Rakhines and Kachins have a headhunting tradition. It would be very dangerous if they run into each other."

Gu Tianyou smiled and asked, "You still know something scary. Why don\'t you just tell me everything? Maybe I\'ll turn around and return home when I\'m scared."

Jiang Fei said, "My destination for collecting biological specimens this time is Python Mountain. On my way from Bangkok, I heard Professor Zhang mention a local legend. There is a giant golden-scaled python here. It is said to be a hundred meters long and as thick as an oak barrel. It occupies a radius of a hundred kilometers. The locals do not dare to enter its area of activity."

A hundred meters long Golden Scaled Python?

Gu Tianyou secretly laughed in his heart. He even said that he was studying biology. This sounded like something that could be said by those who were capable of controlling insects.

The world\'s longest officially recorded python, less than fourteen meters long, was found on the northern island of Sumatra in Borneo. Afterwards, pythons that exceeded ten meters were extremely rare. According to the Hundred Plays Diagram of the Foal Sect, pythons were born as half insects. The insects in pythons were boas that liked to roost in a hundred zhang pit and hunt in the darkest waters. In the first hundred years, they grew ten meters long. During the period, they molted three times a year. After that, they molted once every three years, and only grew by less than a minute at a time. The hundred-meter python needs at least a thousand years to grow.

The Toothless Elephant leaned over and said with a serious expression, "I have heard of the legend of the Golden Scaled Python King. It is said that more than 20 years ago, a patrol squad of the Mountain Army followed a person into the Golden Scaled Python King\'s territory, but not a single one of them came out."

Gu Tianyou said, "Since even you have said so, one more thing is better than one less thing, then go around."

"Actually, there is no need to deliberately take a detour. The elephants are very smart and will naturally avoid the Golden Scaled Python King\'s territory," said the Toothless Elephant.

Gu Tianyou thought regretfully. The python\'s golden scales were a hundred meters long, and there were no records of the Gu Sect\'s insect scripture. Most of them were ancient mutants. Unfortunately, he was unable to see them with his own eyes.

The Toothless Elephant frowned and said, "Actually, I\'m not worried about the Golden Scaled Python King. After all, it\'s just a legend. Whether it really exists or not is still unknown. As for the Giant Alligator in the water, it\'s actually not that scary. No matter how powerful it is, it\'s not more powerful than the gun in our hands. What I\'m most worried about is actually a leech."

Gu Tianyou said, "What\'s there to worry about leeches? When I brought you guys to training, did I not deal with that thing anymore?"

The Toothless Elephant shook its head. "This is different, It\'s called a female locust leech, rarely seen in normal years, But once a hurricane hits the old woods, Some of the old caves were filled with water, "This thing will burrow out from the depths of the earth. Once it enters the bodies of humans and animals, it will immediately ovulate in large quantities. The mother will also burrow into the brains of humans and destroy the pain sensation nerves. Within a few hours, the larvae will absorb all the blood of humans, but that person will not notice it. He will accidentally move his neck and his head will fall off. At that time, he will see that his mouth is filled with little leeches."

Damn it, he really shouldn\'t have let this guy finish his sentence. It\'s too damaging to his morale. Gu Tianyou cursed in his heart. His gaze quietly swept across the rest of the team, only to see the five mercenaries\' expressions as usual, completely unconcerned. Professor Qin sighed. The five students looked curious and scared. Jiang Fei\'s reaction was somewhat calm, perhaps it should be said that she was calm.

After crossing two ridges, the terrain gradually became lower and lower. All kinds of plants in the jungle became denser and denser. They could barely find a place to rest. Walking inside, they lifted their heads and couldn\'t see the sky. Without the help of GPS, they wouldn\'t be able to identify the direction at all. It was as if they had entered a claustrophobic natural labyrinth.

The towering branches of the old tree crisscrossed each other, Some trees were even eighty to ninety meters tall, Because of the thick shade of the trees, The air in the dense forest was exceptionally gloomy. Faint smoke filled the jungle. Occasionally, one could see pythons roosting on ancient trees. They were not known for their "poisonous snakes, insects". They could be found everywhere. The dense jungle and riverside were occasionally infested with crocodiles. There were also groups of tadpoles in the water that were as large as fists. It was unknown how big their heads would become when they turned into toads.

Even though Gu Tianyou and the others had experienced the battlefield for a long time, their courage was extraordinary. Being in this dark green corridor of life, they couldn\'t help but feel a sense of fear. The students trembled from fear, hugging the saddle on the elephant\'s back tightly as if they were grabbing onto a life-saving straw.

Suddenly, the Toothless Elephant, the leading guide, let out a dangerous whistle!
