Chapter 715: Deep into the Jungle

At this time, on this dilapidated ship, except for Lu Cheng, Captain Bill, and sailor Achuan, the rest were members of the expedition team.

There were two women in the expedition team, the brown-skinned biologist Ger Steen and the blonde-skinned biology graduate student Shan Rogers.

The rest were all men, including Jack Byron, owner of Byron Mitch, Gordon Mitchell, a partner at the company, Kerr Burris, a network engineer, and Ben Douglas, a doctor.

The doctor, Ben Douglas, was obviously very interested in the blonde and white-skinned Shan Rogers. Seeing that she was sitting there, he took out his camera and took a picture of her. Then he said directly: "Come on, Shan, in this primitive Borneo, why don't we do something? Anyway, we don't have to make any commitments. It starts here and ends here. It's a romantic experience together, isn't it good?"

The lady Shan obviously didn't buy it: "No commitment? I'm not that kind of person who takes things lightly."

"Hey, do you want me to promise? To marry you?"

"Marry me? You think too much. Damn it, I'll have to face you for the next two weeks."

As she spoke, Ms. Shan came straight to sit next to Lu Cheng who was sitting on the other side. "Hey, Lu, are you from China? I'm curious, why did you also come to this rain forest during the rainy season?"

"Aren't you the same?"

“We are just fulfilling the company’s mission.”

"I have my reasons, ma'am."

"Okay. Actually, I'm very curious about China. Oh, and I had a Chinese friend before..."

This Ms. Shan seemed to be very interested in Lu Cheng, or maybe she was really bored and wanted to avoid Mr. Byron, so she made small talk and chatted with Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng also responded intermittently, and his attention was indeed focused underwater. He turned on the biological radar detection system that had not been used for a long time, paying attention to the movements underwater.

At this time, the boat had entered the rainforest. There were dense jungles on both sides of the river, and occasionally a few roars of animals could be heard.

There are also hidden dangers underwater, as one or two huge crocodiles would swim by from time to time.

As time went on until night, Lu Cheng still did not find any trace of the giant python underwater or on both sides of the river.

In the evening, Mr. Byron took the initiative to cook dinner in order to show off his cooking skills.

Lu Cheng had no interest in sticky mashed potatoes, fruit sauce and the like. After the other party finished cooking, he used the kitchen and simply cooked some instant noodles.

Afterwards, a group of people gathered at a round table, eating and drinking beer leisurely.

Lu Cheng was eating when he saw Captain Bill's monkey named Xiaogang running over and trying to steal a banana from the table. Captain Bill scolded him, "Hey, Xiaogang, you've already had dinner."

Lu Cheng pulled off a banana and handed it to the monkey: "Maybe it's not full yet."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng casually touched the little monkey.

The little monkey was also very well-behaved. It let Lu Cheng touch its head while it squatted there and ate a banana.

Lu Cheng vaguely remembered that it was on this night that the monkey climbed onto the roof of the boat alone because it didn't get to eat bananas. It happened to see some fruit hanging on a branch hanging from the shore, so it jumped onto the tree to pick the fruit and missed the boat passing below.

Afterwards, the little monkey encountered a giant python. He was frightened out of his wits and ran away all the way. When he finally returned to the boat, he looked still in shock.

At this moment, Lu Cheng's biological detection system issued a warning that no one else could hear, and then a huge figure appeared on the shore. Judging from its size, it was a giant python over 30 meters long.

Among the giant pythons discovered so far, few are close to 20 meters in length, but this python's body length has reached an astonishing meters, which is obviously abnormal.

A group of people were talking and laughing at the dining table. Suddenly, an animal scream was heard from the woods on the shore, and everyone was startled.

Captain Bill smiled indifferently when he saw this: "Don't worry, it's probably just some unlucky animal that got eaten. There are many wild animals in the jungle, including tigers and elephants. As you know, the strong prey on the weak in nature, it's always like this."

At this time, the monkey named Xiaogang on the boat was a little uneasy. The banana in his hand that he had not finished eating fell to the ground, and he lay at Lu Cheng's feet, trembling.

Sometimes, human perception and reaction abilities are indeed much worse than those of some animals.

Lu Cheng finished the noodles in his hand in a few bites, walked to the side of the boat, and looked at the jungle in the distance. Through the dim shadows of the jungle trees, he could vaguely see a huge creature moving along the shore. It was the giant python that he had sensed.

Generally, pythons do not need to eat for a long time after they are full, and can even go without food for several months.

But these giant pythons that have swallowed the blood orchids are different. Their body sizes have grown to an extremely exaggerated level. The density of their muscles and bones has become greater, and their movements have become faster. Correspondingly, their metabolic rate and energy consumption rate have also become faster.

Therefore, these pythons have to devour large amounts of food and even maintain high-density hunting.

All kinds of wild animals in the jungle became their hunting targets, and people who rashly entered the jungle were naturally no exception.

At this time, the giant python had already discovered the boat on the river and was chasing it along the shore, hunting various creatures it encountered along the way.

To be honest, even Lu Cheng did not dare to underestimate this mutated behemoth.

Of course, although this giant python is much larger in size and its defense is definitely much stronger than that of ordinary pythons, it is still a carbon-based creature after all and cannot withstand human thermal weapons. Even ordinary guns are more troublesome to kill, and there are also larger caliber rocket launchers and artillery.

After watching carefully for a while and confirming that the giant python could not catch up with the ship for the time being and would not pose a threat, Lu Cheng returned to the cabin to rest.

The next morning, the boat continued to move forward. Lu Cheng turned on the biological detector and found that the giant python had dived into the water and was following the boat about one kilometer behind.

At this time, the black woman named Ge'er was leaning against the side of the boat with a satellite phone, looking for a signal everywhere.

Suddenly, she accidentally leaned against the unclosed ship's side door and fell into the water uncontrollably. She immediately screamed, "Help!"

Seeing this, Captain Bill immediately asked the sailor Achuan to stop the boat, picked up a long pole on the boat, went to the stern, and wanted the black woman to grab the long pole and climb over.

Just as Na'er was about to grab the long pole, a huge crocodile suddenly jumped out of the water behind her and pounced on her.

Captain Bill saw this and without thinking, he took out a dagger and jumped into the water...
