From the Island Owner to the King

"Okay." Bablo nodded.

Chen Rui took out a charcoal and a piece of paper from his rucksack and handed it to Babru.

Babru took the charcoal and paper, and took a small wooden stool to weigh it.

Picked up charcoal and began to draw according to the legendary description of the horror bird.

Bablo draws with concentration.

The charcoal moved across the paper, drawing line after line, applying patches of coating.

The lines and coatings finally form the pattern of a large bird.

Babru stopped writing and handed the paper to Chen Rui.

Chen Rui took the paper and looked at it.

The pattern drawn on the paper is indeed very similar to the Velociraptor.

The head is very large, the upper beak is very hooked, very pointed, and there is a tuft of upright feathers on the back of the head, like the feather crest of an Indian chief.

Its wings are different from those of ordinary birds, like a meat hook structure, which can be stretched out like an arm.

Its legs are very thick and very tall, ranging from 1.2 meters to 1.5 meters high, accounting for half of its entire height.

Its tail feathers are very strong, very straight and very long.

Many of the features of terrifying birds are very similar to those of dinosaurs.

As soon as you see the pattern on the paper.

Chen Rui was a little excited, the Terror Bird was the target he was looking for, of course, if the Terror Bird existed.

Chen Rui asked Babru again, "Do you know where the terrifying bird lives?"

Hearing this, Babru picked up a charcoal pen and drew a few lines on the paper, a large circle and a series of small circles, and then pointed to the first line and said, "This river is the big river next to us, It's about 3 sunrises and sunsets." Speaking of which, Bablo pointed to the second line on the paper, the line facing east. Then, he continued, "Follow this river. It's about 7 sunrises and sunsets." Babru pointed to a third line, which was about 30 degrees northeast. He continued, "Along this river, it takes about 15 sunrises and sunsets. You will reach a big lake, and there are many small lakes next to the big lake. There is a swamp between the big lake and the small lakes, and the terrifying birds live in the swamp. in the ground."

Chen Rui was dizzy when Baburu's words went around.

Chen Rui took out a map of the Congo River system from his rucksack and searched for it himself.

The first line, the Congo River.

second line. To the east, then there is the Kasai River.

It takes 3 sunrises and sunsets from where you are to the confluence of the Congo River and the Kasai River. Then, you are now in the rainforest between Kaba and Kwamut, about 100 to 120 meters away from Kwamut in a straight line. kilometers or so.

The third line, then the Fimi River.

The Great Circle past the Fimi River, Lake Majndombe.

Well, the terror bird lives in the flooded marshes of Lake Majndombe.

Somewhere near a flooded swamp where the jungle juts into the heart of Lake Majndombe.

Target is determined.

Chen Rui said to Baburu, "Patriarch Baburu, can you be my guide? I will give you enough money to buy food for three years for the people of your entire village as a reward."

"Okay," Bablo said.

the next day.

Chen Rui's expedition began to set off, and there were more Babu and Babu's nephew Shabit in the team.

Baburu and Shabit are very familiar with everything in the nearby jungle.

They automatically took over the task of Labachi Kamba, Barbara's guide.

After three days. Take the expedition out of the jungle to the city where the Congo and Kasai rivers meet, Kwamut.

Chen Rui asked the guide Labachi Kamba to rent three vans in Kwamut.

The expedition rested for two days in Quamut.

The expedition arrived along the road in three vans, then crossed the Kasai River to reach Lediba, where they travelled along the road through Lebu, Muhi, and finally to Nyoki.

The expedition team rested for two days in Nyogi and prepared various foods. Replenishment, after medicine.

Then rented a boat in Nyoki. Follow the Fimi River, via Kutu to Lake Majndombe. Finally, it reaches the corner of the middle of Majndongbe Lake that extends into the center of the lake.

It took 17 days for the whole trip from Kwamut to the corner of the lake that stretches into the middle of the lake.

Along the way, Lediba, Lebu, Mushi, Nyoki and Kutu are all cities built deep in the Congolese rainforest, with very small population and very backward road system.

Abandoned boats ashore at Lake Majndongbe.

The expedition began to go deep into the rainforest.

Here, there are no roads, no towns, only vast, dense rainforests, the swamp area formed by the flooding of the Majndongbe Lake during the rainy season, in the swamp area various ferocious crocodiles, giant pythons, poisonous snakes and insects, Mosquitoes carrying infectious bacteria, taste flies, African killer bees with a swollen sting, and primitive tribes living in swampy areas, the most dangerous thing is the swamp itself, which can trap people at any time.

This is one of the most dangerous places on earth.

I believe that Bell Grylls would not dare to take risks here.

The expedition consisted of 19 people.

The team configuration is the first two guides, three security guards to open the way.

In the middle are Chen Rui, Baburu, Labachi Kamba, a doctor and eight security guards who carry tents, water, food, supplies, medicine boxes, cooking utensils, tableware and other supplies.

There are also several security guards on guard.

The rainy season in Congo (DRC) has started for nearly a month.

This is a rainforest that penetrates deep into the heart of Lake Majndongbe.

The flooded lake will first flood most of the rainforest.

Walking in it, the water flooded to my knees, I stepped on it with one foot, stepped into the muddy mud, and it was very difficult to pull my legs out.

Walking in such a place is very difficult, every step is very laborious.

Smell the foul stench in the nose, like the smell of a stinky gutter.

The smelly, nutrient-rich stinky water also breeds a lot of mosquitoes.

In such a place, if there is no corresponding measures, the probability of suffering from malaria is 95%, and it is inevitable.

Chen Rui and the guides and security guards hired in Kinshasa were tightly wrapped to prevent mosquito bites.

And, Baburu, Shabit wears very little clothes, only a ** wrapped in animal skins, but they also have a set of mosquito repellents, take out a bottle from their package, and the bottle contains some green The liquid is like the juice of some plant. When you open the bottle cap, you can smell the juice, which emits an unpleasant odor.

The expedition walked in the flooded area of ​​the lake.

Suddenly, Chen Rui stopped the guide Barbara who was walking in the front, and his voice was very fast, "Barbara, wait, back slowly."

"A few bubbles have just popped up in the water hole about 10 meters in front of you. I can guarantee that there is one or several crocodiles underwater. Crocodiles like to stay in this kind of place. Let's take a detour and don't go there. mess with it." Chen Rui said. (To be continued)
