The expedition team waded through the puddle in fear and fled into the woods by the shore without looking back.
"My God, poor Bangold!”Gail cried and prayed.
The black youth, Ke Er's facial muscles were still trembling. He said in shock," That strange snake…is too terrifying!"
Captain Bill was much calmer and said,"This is the Amazon Rainforest Forest Boa."
"I know Forest Boas," said Gordon. It's the largest snake on our planet, but it's not the longest. The longest snake we know is the reticulated python.”
"If my memory serves me right, under normal circumstances, an adult Forest Boa's body length will be maintained between 4- 5 meters.”
"But the one just now is clearly far beyond the 4- 5 meter range."”
" Yes," Gordon nodded." It's far beyond that." The length of the previous one might have already exceeded 10 meters, and before this, the longest Forest Boa discovered by humans with concrete evidence was only 8.9 meters.”
Dr. Jack's face darkened as he asked Captain Bill,""What do you think?"
"Obviously, it's a mutated Forest Boa," Captain Bill said. In the past years, I've seen many Forest Boas, but I've never seen such a big one.”
"Will that guy still chase after us?" asked the black youth, Ke Er.”
" No," Captain Bill shook his head and said," It just swallowed Bangold. That's enough for it to live for months." Before it felt hungry, it probably wouldn't hunt any more prey.”
Ke Er drew a cross in front of his chest and muttered,""Thank God, thank God!"
"What should we do now?" Shan asked.”
Professor Jack glanced at her and said,""Let's continue forward."
"Continue?" The black beauty Gail raised her voice." We've already lost one person. If we continue to move forward, who can guarantee that no one will continue to die?”
"If we retreat, can you guarantee everyone's safety?" Professor Jack retorted. Putting everything else aside, who would dare to wade through this puddle again?”
Gail hesitated for a second and said,""We can take a detour."
"Detour?" Professor Jack sneered." Is it safe to take a detour? Miss, you have to know that we are now in the depths of the Amazon rainforest. No matter if you advance or retreat, the risk is the same!”
Dr. Jack took a deep breath and continued,"Since the road ahead and the road behind are equally dangerous, why don't we take a gamble? If we win the bet and find the Blood Orchid, I can guarantee that every one of us here will become billionaires! We'll have money that we can't spend for the rest of our lives!”
--------
More than ten kilometers away, Li He had no idea about the danger that the expedition team had encountered.
Although Li He secretly decided to follow the expedition team to find the legendary Blood Orchid, this did not mean that Li He would always be chasing after the expedition team.
For Li He, the speed of the expedition team was too slow.
The exploration team had been walking for an entire day, so Li He only needed an hour to catch up.
Therefore, Li He would always let the exploration team travel a distance ahead, and he would catch up after a few hours. Then, they would stop to hunt for a few hours before chasing after the scents and traces left by the exploration team.
When the exploration team was attacked by the mutated Forest Boa, Li He was hunting caiman in a river.
The first caiman that Li He hunted gave him 40 evolution energy points, but the second caiman only gave him 35 evolution energy points. Then, it decreased in turn. When Li He devoured the sixth caiman, the evolution energy he received had already dropped to 16 points.
"Qinghan, how much evolution energy have I accumulated in my body?”Li He asked.
"Master, after last night's and today's hunting, you have accumulated a total of 162 evolution energy points in your body. You still need 838 evolution energy points before the next evolution.”Qinghan replied.
"Still lacking 800 points of evolution energy?" The caiman's evolution energy was getting lesser and lesser. It seemed that it was time to choose other prey.”
" Master," Qinghan hesitated for a moment before saying," there's actually a group of excellent prey right in front of you."”
"What excellent prey?" Li He asked.
