What happened next was really unexpected.

Nature's Heart pretended not to hear what Jennifer was thinking.

It knows that it is in the wrong, and actually doesn't want to provoke a world war between the various races. The result of being ruthless is that its power is constantly weakened.

If you compare it to a central hub, a general, the more complex and numerous the subordinate units are, the stronger the combat capability will be.Human intelligence is certainly a modern measure of strength, but for some species in the universe, sharp teeth and long claws are still a primitive measure of strength.If the earth is going to be invaded tomorrow, it will be impossible without power.

The heart of nature understands this truth, and Jennifer also understands it after sharing data with it.

She sometimes wonders if the other party has taken a fancy to her "superior" and "natural understanding" of the laws of nature when she first came to this world, so she bet the treasure on her and piled up all the work she couldn't finish. she.

For this kind of speculation, the response of the heart of nature is - no response.

Not only did it not respond, but the old man also cut off the induction for a short period of time with the tone of "I'm all for your own good", claiming that only in this way will Jennifer not feel "bored" in exploring nature, and can return to the original "interest" abundant".

To some extent, it solved her little problem.

***

On the afternoon of the day they received the mission, Jennifer and Anton began to prepare for entering the cave.

The name of the mission is "Blood-sucking Feast", and you can guess what's in the cave just from the name: an underground river, a sunless cave, and a tortuous cave, it's a paradise for vampire bats.

The terrain is tortuous, and a lot of time will be wasted going in and out. After discussing it, the two of them decided to bring as many resources as possible to the dark.

Jennifer carried her leaf bag as usual, and now she has short sleeves, shorts, leggings and rain boots. Her weapons include a intact compressed air knife, pike and wooden bow, and her tools include a hook gun.The cave can't be used and it's easy to be accidentally injured. She didn't plan to bring a wooden bow in. Spears can be used to explore the way, but she can bring one or two.

In addition to weapons, the two also packed healing herbs, edible dried meat and fruits, as well as long tree vines, large torches, small torches and other survival and exploration tools that can be imagined.

Looks ready.

it looks.

Anyway, Jennifer felt that they didn't drop anything in the first 10 minutes of entering the hole. She even removed a part of the rubber shoe and chopped it up to use as fuel, because the rubber sole can support burning for a longer period of time.Small torches ensure that they can test whether there is sufficient oxygen in time as they travel.

However, everything has a but.

—but an hour later they were in big trouble.

The underground waterway goes from the depth of the calf to the knee, the thigh, and the waist, and the top of the corresponding cave is getting lower and lower, from seven or eight meters to four or five meters above the water surface, until reaching out when standing upright to the top of the cave.

Jennifer: ...It's really not easy for an npc to lose all three children, and three "young children" in this kind of place.

"What should we do now?" Anton, who was traveling with him, asked.

"What can I do?" Jennifer sighed, "Although the roof of the cave is very low, it doesn't look so dark from the front. There should be an open air gap on the roof. Where it goes is bright and where it is dark, once you go in, you may not be able to find your way. , it’s almost the end of the road.”

"You have to go in even if you have no other way out." An Dong understood.

The two of them are considered players with good psychological quality. If it is a claustrophobic player, it is estimated that the game will be over.

The two of them bit the bullet and pinched their noses and waded forward all the way. The water level gradually rose to the chest and abdomen, and there was a biting cold oppressive feeling.The narrowing of the caverns that can be moved forward is already annoying enough, and the gradually rising water level is more like a sword of Damocles hanging above the head. I don’t know if it will become a catastrophe in the next second.

Finally, after continuing to walk for a certain distance, Jennifer stopped first. "There's nothing ahead," she said. "There's only one way, unless you dive through it."

"Wait a minute." Anton frowned.

Diving is an adventure trick that can only be used when there is no obstacle above and a clear view. Now the torch cannot be used, except for the blue fluorescence of the camera group, the cave is completely dark.Yes, there is light ahead, and there are faint signs of light sources in the water, but who knows if the roof of the cave in front will meet the water surface?If you sneak up and find that there is no air belt when you can't hold your breath, wouldn't you suffocate yourself in the dirty water?

Jennifer thought more than he did.

As early as five o'clock in the south, some players said that his medal came from the quest "Blood-sucking Feast". Either there is an air belt ahead for people to pass through, or it is simply a bright spot, or there are more than one openings into the hole, but most people are used to it. Desperately starting from the task point, along the nearest road to find the nearest cave.

Life is at stake, but it is useless to think too much.

"Give me the rope," she said through gritted teeth.When they entered the cave, they were all carrying thin vines that weighed heavily on their bodies. These vines were connected to form a perfect rope. It was originally intended to prevent forks in the road, but now it has become a life-saving straw.

Anton first obeyed the order subconsciously, and then suddenly realized after a few seconds: "You want to go by yourself? Or I'll go, I can hold my breath in the water for 3 minutes."

"I can hold back for 5 minutes." Jennifer took the tree vine.

Anton held on to the rope without letting go. "otherwise--"

"Okay, now is not the time to be modest." Jennifer tied the vine around her waist self-consciously, "I'll swim in to find the way first, and come back along the rope if the situation is wrong. You stand still, be careful not to scratch Broken leg, I don't know what's in the water, but I've been feeling something touching my skin all the way here."

As soon as she mentioned this, Anton's attention was diverted.

Indeed, from stepping into the underground river to now, they can feel the touch of other things on their legs.That kind of touch is not the tactile feeling of people accidentally bumping into shaking aquatic plants when moving their legs in the water, nor is it the hard and rough feeling of stones, or the indistinct soft touch of small animals, such as small fish, frogs, and water snakes. There is a tentative biting feeling back and forth.

Jennifer would bet ten Franklins on this one—there are definitely some carnivorous and omnivorous fish in this water area, but it's hard to say whether they are piranhas or some new species that are not known to the outside world.

"Please, please don't bleed." She emphasized again.

A blood-sucking feast, a blood-sucking feast, according to the consistent style of the program group, just having vampire bats is not a "feast".Most carnivorous fish will not attack when the human skin is intact, but it is difficult to guarantee that the species that live in underground rivers all year round will not take risks because they are extremely hungry. If they are not careful at this moment, they will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.

Anton was apprehensive by her serious tone, until Jennifer walked forward with her hands on the roof and her chin raised, and she felt that everything she caught was a piranha, and even the entangled aquatic plants looked like piranhas. It was the piranhas biting his toes.

The poor piranhas who live in the turbulent waters have been blamed again.

The audience didn't know whether the piranha was wronged or not, but they could see that Jennifer was "wronged".

[Can people leave this place?I can’t even see what’s under the water with the full-real night scene mode on the camera. Now I feel uncomfortable looking at the screen. It’s a very scary feeling, and I’m almost claustrophobic. 】

[Claustrophobia +1, and my deep-sea phobia.Think of a person staying in a cave, the water is up to his neck, and the water quality is very dirty, and there are fish swimming around in it... and the roof in front of the cave is sloping down, diving down and saying Maybe it won't come up. 】

[Didn’t you all applaud when the former contestant Colin dived?It's too double standard, Colin wants to retire after hearing this, you vernier caliper masters. [Laughing and crying][Laughing and crying][Laughing and crying]]

[Colin didn’t think it was because his shirt was used to cover his head, and it was exposed in the night scene mode... Anyway, I saw a lot of muscle lovers flying in the comment area. 】

[Survival in the Wilderness is really a paradise for muscle lovers! 】

"The more you talk, the more crooked it is." The commentator Ricky complained about the audience on behalf of all the single-pack abs "indignantly".

Bell, who has built up the image of a tough guy by surviving in the wilderness all the year round, and claims to be able to climb with one hand and abseil with two legs, smiled and said nothing.He enjoyed the anger from his compatriots for a few seconds, and immediately began to comment on Jiugongge again. "It's a very risky move."

"It's too risky!" Cody's tone was stronger than his. "The contestants don't know the terrain ahead, and there are carnivorous fish in the water. Jennifer thinks that she can hold her breath for 5 minutes. She must consider being attacked during the dive." situation. I do not recommend any survivors, even adventurers, to challenge the authority of the terrain in the underground river."

"Fortunately they still have a rope for self-defense," Bell pointed out.

Cody: "It's an understatement to say self-defense. It should be said that your life is on this rope. If there is no life ring—"

"Most players wouldn't be doing the moves they're doing without the life ring," Ricky said in fairness, "and besides, drowning and being attacked by fish is not the same as being in the woods. ...Don't look at me like that, I've made up for the previous rounds of video...When I was attacked by a brown bear, it was just that, the life ring was too late to save, but being bitten by a fish is at most two holes, even if Drowning also has real-time monitoring of vital signs."

Cody choked suddenly.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that "Wilderness Challenge" was not a survival program in the full sense. It couldn't stand the professionalism of a wilderness survival trainer for 20 years, and he didn't care about the word "adventure" at all.As the host of survival, Bell has started planning to make a more entertaining survival show with people in the past two years, and the acceptance of the various eye-catching levels set by the program group is much higher.

With the ring of life as the bottom line, neither the commentator nor the audience were too nervous, and Jennifer herself was not too nervous, but she could feel the nervousness from Anton behind her—this kid was so scared by the fish, to be exaggerated, his heartbeat The sound can beat a drum in the cave.

She complained in her heart, and walked very calmly.

There is still a 15-20 cm gap in the advancing waterway, so you can breathe with your neck up. The fresh air with the smell of vegetation and mud comes from the ground through the gaps in the rocks, and occasionally you can feel the slightest blowing on your cheeks. The coolness on the ground is probably the wind passing through the narrow rock cracks.But soon, this narrow space disappeared, and the hands stretched out to explore the way could only touch stones and water.

"Okay," Jennifer said to herself.

She first touched the nearby stone wall to make sure that there was no room to move forward, and then repeatedly made sure that the vines around her waist were tied tightly and would never fall off in the middle.After doing this, Jennifer took a deep breath on the spot, feeling that every alveoli was filled with air, and immediately closed her mouth and dived into the water.

The three cameras followed closely.

Panorama No. [-] is outside the cave, and the three instruments of foreground, background and close-up have to follow the players into the water.Their own blue fluorescence can illuminate a distance of about half a meter, and the light is reflected on the top of the head, so that at least Jennifer can't lose sight of the cave wall and hit her head with blood.

Not too bad, but not too good either.

The main reason is that the water quality of the underground river is too poor. Swimming in this kind of place with your eyes open is simply a death penalty for your eyes.

Jennifer is miserable here, but the heart of nature gloats behind her back——

"You'll survive, sweetheart." It said in the tone that rich guys often use to perfunctory their female companions, "Water can't do anything to you at all, and neither can those animals. Think about it, you have also been in contact with the existence of the core of life, As long as you have learned something in the past few days, protecting yourself is still a problem."

Yes, no problem.

As long as she has learned something in the past few days, she should shield this old man who was quite tall before he appeared on the stage, but after he appeared on the stage, he turned into a chatterbox like a portable spitting machine.

However, the magic voice of the Heart of Nature accompanied her the whole time.

Jennifer was barely out of the water before Anton was too nervous and died of heart failure.Sure enough, it suddenly became clear. The cave wall changed from extremely narrow to extremely spacious like a wine bottle. The water-stained camera group flew out of the water and climbed towards the sky. The dripping water hit the river surface, splashing big and small splashes.

"Big surprise," said Nature's Heart dryly.

"Don't you have anything to do?" Jennifer tugged on the rope.One pull is an affirmative answer, and two pulls is a negative answer. This journey only takes about 2 minutes to hold your breath. If you are not nervous, Anton has no reason to make it through.

"My—in human terms, both the main data stream and the sub-data stream are busy." The heart of nature said, "What stays here is just a series of sub-data streams, you can also say it is a projection. I Having chosen you, you proved that you are worthy of being chosen, and we are bound together."

"By whom?" Jennifer asked without much interest while pulling the rope to assist Anton.

"By God." Nature's Heart replied quite poetically.

This answer is basically as abstract and uninteresting as an atheist hearing a preaching. Most importantly, the soul core of an earth creature spits out the word "God" so magically real that Jennifer even spent a few seconds wondering if it was true. There is a God, is it true that a God created this planet.

What interrupted her thoughts was Anton's coughing.

"Damn weeds!" said the Romanian in exasperation. "Can you imagine? They tripped me three times in the water, three times, and I opened my mouth, and guess what? Damn weeds got in me." mouth, and another time I felt something else slip into my mouth as well."

"Probably shit," Jennifer said bluntly.

"Hey!" Anton was filled with righteous indignation.

"I mean it." Jennifer patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, and pointed to the top of the cave.

There are countless layers of black shadows restlessly restless in the blue light of the camera group, like a huge formic ball.The vampire bats cling to the cave wall layer by layer, and the fleshy membranes on their wings open and close, rubbing against each other, making the characteristic rubbing sound when rough sandpaper is rubbed.

"I hate bats." Anton's face turned pale.

"I bet you would hate being in the water soaked in bat excrement even more." Jennifer took the lead to walk towards the underground river bank, and halfway turned back to look at her companion who was still feeling sick, "Come on, you have to hurry up, It wasn’t a smooth journey when I swam here with my hands just now.”

"What does that mean?" Anton said in horror.

It means that there are enough carnivorous fish in the river for the two of them to drink a pot.

Jennifer beckoned to him: "Come on. I seem to have touched something."

Anton stumbled and followed his teammates ashore. After shaking off the water droplets on the shore, he found that his clothes were covered with a layer of slippery and sticky things. It was a bit like the liquid left after slugs crawled over. Even the river water could not wash it off. "What did you touch? What's in the river?"

Jennifer: "I mean I touched something on the shore."

Anton: "!"

Anton: "It's dark here, don't scare me, we Romanians don't like ghost stories." He paused. "You don't really touch anything strange, do you? Is it a scaring prop specially made by the program group? Bones?"

what is this kid thinking...

"It's not a bone." Jennifer rolled her eyes, "It's a projection player. Come here and stand up, I'm going to turn it on." As she spoke, she fumbled and pressed the projection switch, and in an instant, a five or six-year-old The projection of the girl appeared in mid-air, curled up and hugging her legs, looking very pitiful.

The projected light became brighter, and the bats on the ceiling became more agitated.

At first, Jennifer wondered why the program team set the first mission point here, but soon she discovered the clue—it might not be the light that makes the bats stir, but the smell.A stream of dark liquid was flowing down Anton's bare thigh, and merged into the ground from the side of the instep, forming a small pool.

"Are you bleeding?" she asked in surprise.

"Am I bleeding?" Anton looked more surprised than she was.He looked down at his thigh, and reached out to touch it, the palm of his hand was dark. "I'm really bleeding?!" he yelled, "I obviously haven't touched any stones, how did I get this wound?"

Jennifer: "Didn't you feel any pain when you swam?"

Anton: "I didn't choose leggings...the rainforest is full of plants with thorns and edges. I haven't had a time when my skin didn't hurt from the moment I landed."

It's true, even Jennifer's own skin has a lot of abrasions.

She didn't say anything else, just untied the vines from the leaf backpack, took out the herbs and shook them off, then motioned Anton to chew them up and apply them on the wound.As the trouser legs were pulled up, the projection light illuminated the wound that appeared on the outside of the thigh, and the two of them gasped in unison.

This is not a scratch, it is clearly two irregular long scratches!

"...vampire fish?" Anton asked in a low voice.

"It is said that vampire fish will not appear here." Jennifer pondered.

Vampire fish is a very general term. In fact, there are fish called vampire fish all over the world, such as Myanmar.There are also vampire fish in the Amazon Basin. This is a long-toothed fish called "Palala" by Brazilian fishermen. The two fangs in their lower jaw can grow to nearly 20 centimeters long. Two deep holes.

The scars are justified, but Parala haunts the turbulent waters of the big river all the year round, eats a lot, and has strict requirements on food. It is not something that small fish and shrimp can feed, and it is rare to be in a submerged cave where there is no light. dormant.

"Forget about the fish, we have to heal your wound quickly." Seeing that he dared not use force, Jennifer slapped his hand away, and pressed the herb residue onto his wound herself, no matter how loudly her teammates screamed Unmoved. "Don't take chances, troubles are yet to come!"

"What trouble—go! Go! Go!" cried Anton suddenly.

As he waved his hands around, the bat that swooped down swiftly brushed past him, fluttered its wings, climbed to a high place, and landed like a glider again.Seeing that her teammates were about to be dizzy from the attack, Jennifer wrapped the leaves around his legs as quickly as possible, tied them tightly with the vines, and immediately pulled him to her side, swinging the spear in her hand tightly.

For a while, the sound of crackling and knocking can be heard endlessly.

"I hate bats!" Anton yelled.

"Where's your stick?" Jennifer growled.Her weapon never leaves her body. At most, she occasionally puts it in one hand when she is exploring the way. When it is inconvenient, she chooses to carry it on her back or hang it on her side.Just now she dived all the way here, also testing the roof of the cave and whether there are rocks in front with one hand, and holding the spear with the other hand, and the spear even helped her expand the area, making her strokes more powerful.

At this moment, Anton, who put down the wooden stick to bandage the wound, became a living target. He could only squat down with his head in his arms, and grope for the wooden stick on the ground while closing his eyes.His handling was a little out of date, but mostly correct.Vampire bats have been reported to cause eyeball damage when they attack people. They don't care what part they hit when they jump up.

Jennifer relied on her dynamic eyesight and physique that gradually adapted to the environment to fight harder.She picked up the package with one hand, and waved the spear out with the other. After packing her bags, she still had the energy to take care of her companions.After they moved four or five meters along the river bank, Jennifer quickly pulled out a bat that was entangled in the rolled cloth from Anton's shoulder, and immediately grabbed the small thing that was constantly fluttering in her hand, and put it on the stone wall with all her strength. It froze.

Fuck it... Fuck it...

Anton felt his head and arms go cold, as if what was pulled was not the bat's wings but his own invisible wings, and what was smashed was not the bat's head but his own head, and even his shoulders ached.

The place is pitch black, and the light cast by the projection is just a little bit. The teammate is holding a dead bat in his hand. The expression on his face can't be seen clearly, and there are large shadows. How scary is it? .

"I..." He swallowed, "...I've got the stick, I've got it, you have something to say."

"I really want to have a good talk!" The spear waved in the air.

Animals living in groups living in caves are the most vulnerable, as long as the slightest noise can make the whole group of bats restless, the bloody smell on Anton's body is as bright as a lighthouse in the night sky here.As more and more bats fell, more and more bats flew from the cave roof, and soon a bat whirlwind was set in motion.The violent bats charged in all directions, sweeping the entire space.

"Jump into the water." Jennifer shot down a few more bats. "I'd rather fight wits with fish in the water than be targeted by bats on the shore."

After finishing speaking, she entered the water first and dived towards the other side of the cave.

Anton couldn't fight alone, so he could only hold his nose and jump into the river.

"I hate bats," the Romanian said a third time. "I really, really, hate bats."
