"Grand Duke, we are back!" Seeing Marin, two "African refugees" knelt down and cried bitterly. Marin quickly asked someone to help them up, and asked someone to move a stool, let them sit down and drink water before talking. After a group of people drank milk tea, they calmed down their excitement, and then began to tell Marin about their tragic experiences in the Amazon jungle in the past few years. They entered the Amazon jungle from the mouth of the Amazon River a few years ago. Initially, they took two medium-sized riverboats and headed inland. At that time, they all lived on the boat. Although the conditions were difficult, there was no danger. It's just that because a few people were not acclimatized, they fell ill directly. It's just that Marin chose 00 young adults with good physical fitness. Therefore, not too many people in the expedition fell ill due to acclimatization. Among the first batch of unaccustomed people who fell ill, only one died of illness. But a few months later, the two wooden boats were damaged one after another and could not be repaired. At this point, the expedition team really entered the period of terror... After the ship was damaged, the expedition team was forced to land and set up camp. However, on the first day, seven members were brought down by poisonous insects, mosquitoes and snakes in the Amazon jungle. Among them, five members who were bitten by poisonous insects and mosquitoes all became ill. The member who was bitten by the poisonous snake was even more miserable and died on the spot. Among them, one of the two dead was the first expedition leader John. In desperation, the expedition elected Heinrich as the second expedition leader and continued to lead the team forward. In the days that followed, Heinrich was more cautious. When camping, he chose to camp on dry highlands. At night, he lit multiple fires around the camp to drive away snakes and insects. At the same time, the sulfur powder that was brought was also sprinkled at the entrance of the tents of the residents to guard against poisonous snakes. Under Captain Heinrich's prudent command, there was no danger of camping at night. However, the following expeditions are really dangerous...Because they are not familiar with the local environment, in order to avoid getting lost, the expedition team marched westward along the Amazon River. However, these people seriously underestimated the danger of the Amazon River Basin... Once, a raft made by the expedition team capsized on the Amazon River, and several expedition members fell into the water. Unexpectedly, a large group of piranhas were attracted directly. Of the four expedition members who fell into the water, one of them was gnawed by a large group of piranhas and only bones remained. The other person was also gnawed off a leg... The other two were lucky, the fish seemed to prefer to concentrate on attacking one or two of them, but they escaped unharmed and were dragged onto other rafts by their teammates. Although the team member whose leg had been gnawed off was also rescued, he died that night due to excessive blood loss... Fear suddenly enveloped the entire expedition team, and Captain Heinrich had no choice but to take the team members on land as much as possible. Head inland along the Amazon River. However, soon they ushered in the most terrifying creature by the river-the Amazon crocodile! The members of the expedition are all from Europe and have never seen a crocodile, so they don't know how powerful it is. Moreover, they don't watch "Animal World" as much as later generations. Therefore, they are unaware of the danger of crocodiles. Although Marin also reminded them, these people are not smart people with a particularly good memory, so they forgot about it. The dangerous Amazon crocodiles do not take the initiative to attack the expedition team, but they will silently lurk by the river, motionless. If you don’t pay attention, you might think there are rotten logs floating on the water by the river... However, when someone from the expedition team broke away from the crowd and ran to the river to fetch water, the Amazon crocodile would suddenly explode and open its mouth wide. Bite the target... On the first day, a young man fetching water was dragged into the water and was never seen again. But the members of the expedition team didn't know about this, and they didn't see the crocodile pretending to be rotten wood to ambush the unlucky guy. So, on the second day, another unlucky guy was dragged into the water by the crocodile... Until the third day, two team members went to fetch water together, and one of them saw with his own eyes that "a piece of rotten wood" by the river suddenly "come back to life". His companion bit and dragged him into the water, and everyone realized the horror of the "rotten wood" by the Amazon River... In desperation,

Heinrich had no choice but to change the marching route and ordered to avoid getting close to the river as much as possible, but not too far away from the river, so as not to be unable to distinguish the direction. Then, they encountered a new danger - the jaguar... The victim this time was Heinrich, the second expedition leader, and he died very... very strange... It turned out that at noon one day , Captain Heinrich went to squat under a hidden tree outside the camp because of a stomachache. In the wild, there is no toilet, so we can only find a secluded place to solve it casually. If it is in Europe, it is understandable to do so. However, this is the Amazon jungle... It just so happened that when Heinrich went to squat under a tree outside the camp, a jaguar happened to pass by here... The jaguar was going to hunt a crocodile for lunch in the Amazon River Yes, after all, felines love fish. However, the jaguar is more powerful, even the crocodile, the overlord in the water, dares to kill, it can be said that the jaguar is brave. Of course, leopards are inherently bold, otherwise there would be no such thing as "leopards have eaten the heart of a bear". Just as the jaguar was about to go to the water's edge, it suddenly smelled a bad smell halfway. Out of curiosity, the bold leopard quietly leaned over, and then saw Captain Heinrich's white PP who was squatting in a large size... "It seems to be very white and tender... I don't know how it tastes... ..." Then, taking advantage of Captain Heinrich's unpreparedness, the daring jaguar pounced and bit off Captain Heinrich's neck... Although the team members heard Captain Heinrich's tragic death After the cry, he quickly chased it out with a stick and scared away the jaguar, but the unlucky Captain Heinrich had his neck bitten off and died soon. Then, in the days that followed, none of the members of the expedition dared to leave the crowd alone to squat in a tuba. Because, that might lead to death... Next, everyone elected a new expedition leader—Koror. Koror led everyone to move forward, looking for the rubber tree and the thorny fruit—pineapple that Marin ordered... As a result, everyone quickly found a lot of rubber trees and collected a lot of rubber tree seeds. However, the pineapple has never been found. So, they had to continue wandering in the dangerous Amazon jungle. ... A few months later, they encountered the greatest danger of the expedition - Amazon cannibals ... At first, Koror did not know the danger of cannibals. After seeing the group of natives, Koror led the crowd to warmly greet the group of cannibals. But they didn't know that those cannibals looked at them like a dish... A group of more than 80 people walked into the cannibal's village unsuspectingly, and were attacked and killed by the cannibals that night... Fortunately There are not many strong cannibals, and they are powerless to kill them all at once. After more than 30 people were killed, a total of more than 40 people escaped desperately and hid in the jungle. And the cannibal tribe probably thought they had enough meat, so they didn't pursue them. The remaining more than 40 people were like bereaved dogs, wandering in the jungle for two or three years in panic all day long, and lost their way. During this time, some of them were "eaten" by the Amazon man-eating tree, and some were strangled to death and swallowed by the Amazon anaconda... In short, there were many dangers along the way...until they met a native who was not a cannibal Tribe... At first, after seeing this indigenous tribe, the team members were very scared, thinking they encountered cannibals again. But these natives are not cannibals, and they are more friendly. After many contacts, the expedition team finally determined that this indigenous tribe did not eat people, and then communicated with them. With the help of primitive communication methods of gestures and gestures, the two sides become acquainted. Members of the expedition team who are familiar with the manufacture of bows and arrows helped the aboriginals to improve the bow and arrow manufacturing process, which greatly increased the power of the aboriginal bows. They also helped them glue feathers on the back of the arrows to enhance the stability and range of the arrows. Then the natives warmed up to the expedition. With the help of this group of natives, the team members finally found the legendary pineapple, and with the help of that friendly native tribe, they learned how to grow pineapples from another tribe who knew how to grow pineapples... Seeing that the mission was completed, the expedition The team bid farewell to the friendly indigenous tribe, followed the Amazon River all the way eastward, and finally found the mouth of the sea, and waited for a ship that would come from Grenada Island to investigate after a while. But when they walked out of the Amazon Basin, there were only 22 people left from the original 00 people. On the way back to the country by boat, another person died of illness on the way. When they returned to the mainland of Beihai, there were only 2 people left...
