Since we've already encountered the giant python from our past life, the cave must still be there.
After walking for more than two hours, the group finally found the cave where Chu Xingyue had hidden in her previous life.
"Finally found a place to rest." The group, though exhausted, remained vigilant. They turned on the power and scanned the entire cave to make sure it was safe before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
"Quickly, let me sit down and rest for a while. I'm exhausted." Lu Zehua's words made the others chuckle.
"Hua Zi, if Kang Zi and Cheng Zi hadn't dragged you away while you were unconscious, we'd probably still be looking for you inside the giant python's belly right now."
Wei Haiyang put down what he was holding and couldn't help but tease him.
"Oh, you young man, you're not that old, but how can you speak such chilling truths?"
Lu Zehua knew he had almost lost his life. If it weren't for his two good brothers saving him, he would probably be being digested by the giant python's stomach acid by now.
Chu Xingyue leaned against the wall watching the group banter, and she felt a pang of nostalgia.
The group started to split up, but they all stayed around the cave.
After all, it was so late and these ten or so people needed to eat. Chu Jiaojiao, Chu Xingyue, and Gu Yanci were in charge of finding food, Zhang Cheng, Wei Haiyang, and Du Kangli were in charge of finding firewood, and Leng Shuang, Lu Zehua, and others were tidying up in the cave. Jiang Yu, Zhou Yu, and Fu Jingcheng were making simple protective devices at the entrance of the cave in case any animals from the rainforest broke in while everyone was resting at night, so that they could be trapped.
Everyone sat around the fire, and several racks were set up to roast sizzling meat. The aroma made the already hungry people even hungrier.
"Your wound will probably heal by the time you get back."
Du Kangli, who was treating Lu Zehua's wounds, looked at the wounds that Lu Zehua had already treated and said...
"I'm honorably injured, even though I fell down on my own." The last sentence was spoken so softly that no one could hear it, and someone muttered something under their breath.
The others also had minor injuries, and they helped each other treat their wounds.
The group looked at Chu Xingyue, who was sitting next to Gu Yanci and whispering to him. Their eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration. If it weren't for their boss, they probably wouldn't have even reached this cave before being eaten. Even if they weren't swallowed by the giant python, they would have been captured and carried away by some unknown large animal. The giant python they had just encountered was this big.
They wondered what else might be inside that would shock them even more.
Gu Yanci had only stayed on the outskirts of this rainforest in his early years, and had never been to such an in-depth place before. He had never even seen that giant python. Looking at the cave they were in now, Gu Yanci was a little confused. Were they just too lucky or was An'an just too amazing that she could find a cave in the rainforest so easily?
Gu Yanci's eyes lingered on Chu Xingyue for less than two seconds before moving on, so quickly that Chu Xingyue didn't even notice.
After dinner, everyone went to sleep on the spot. They were wearing special clothes, so they weren't cold at all, which saved them the trouble of bringing blankets.
The group resting by the firewood in the cave fell into a deep sleep. The giant python's corpse was covered with carnivorous jackals crawling on it and other carnivores hiding in the shadows, waiting to eat the scraps.
On a small hill not far away, there were several figures that were not very clear. If Chu Xingyue were there, she would recognize them at a glance.
But now no one can see it. Several pairs of eyes peered over the bushes and saw the jackal clinging to the giant python. The dark light in their eyes flickered. It was so tragic. Its entire head had been blown off. This meant that some extraordinary humans had come to the rainforest. They went back to warn the younger ones to stay in their den.
The figures arrived quickly and left just as quickly.
Chu Xingyue had no idea how much impact the giant python they had killed would have on the intelligent animals in the rainforest.
After a night's rest, the team members had caught up on their sleep and were fully refreshed.
Yesterday's battle with the giant python made the team members very cautious about the dangers of this rainforest, but seeing their leader walking in front, and the powerful Gu Yanci and Chu Jiaojiao on either side, what did they have to fear?
The small team of about ten people continued their journey through the rainforest.
Along the way, they saw giant man-eating plants that could devour people in books, swarms of basketball-sized wasps, and giant ants with deep red armor on their backs. Whether it was the small pills Chu Xingyue had prepared for them before setting off or something else, when they passed by these creatures, they seemed to exude the same aura as their own kind, allowing them to pass through their territory safely.
After another night of rest, Chu Xingyue began to train them intentionally or unintentionally. As long as their lives were not at stake, she made them all hone their skills.
In such a harsh environment, the team members' expressions grew more and more resolute. Although they were tired and injured, everyone felt that they were making rapid progress every day.
Even Chu Jiaojiao's progress is visible to the naked eye.
None of the team members disagreed with Chu Xingyue. They all knew that although their strength couldn't compare to Chu Jiaojiao and Chu Xingyue, they felt that the gap between them and Gu Yanci was getting smaller and smaller.
When the group of people who had always looked up to Gu Yanci found their strength gradually approaching his, they felt at ease. This was true strength, and they realized that they could use it when their comrades needed it, saving them in time when danger struck. This filled them with immense gratitude towards Chu Xingyue.
Every night during rest time, Chu Xingyue would analyze the battle and point out the shortcomings. Everyone was convinced by Chu Xingyue. She could even guess their thoughts during the battle, so there was no possibility of them trying to make excuses.
Watching Chu Xingyue eat the meat of some kind of animal, the group of people who were about the same age as them, and some even older than Chu Xingyue, were filled with emotion. They were incredibly proud and honored that they could grow under the guidance of such an extraordinary person.
Such a person has already grown to be more powerful than their parents, or even more powerful than their parents. Anyone in the circle who knows Chu Xingyue has never been singled out by their parents to say that they wish such a person had been born into their family.
The group of people who already admired Chu Xingyue immensely are now growing rapidly under her leadership, improving in both professional skills and physical fitness.
These past two days, the group no longer needed to find food, but Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao still took turns going out with the group to find food, though they didn't lift a finger to help.
"We caught them, and they were a whole nest of them."
The rabbit, its ears caught, kicked its hind legs, trying to kick the human holding its ears, but its life was already in the human's hands, and its whole family had been captured.
Back at their resting place, the group quickly began processing the rabbit, skewering it on branches and starting to roast it.
The rabbit meat sizzled as it was roasted, and the aroma was so enticing that it made the waiting group feel dizzy.
Another day has passed.
"Isn't this thing even more visually striking than what you see in the movies? It's huge!"
The group hid behind the bushes on the shore, watching the crocodiles basking in the sun.
This crocodile can no longer be called a crocodile; it's a prehistoric giant crocodile!
Its length is estimated to be around 20 meters, which is twice the size of the fossils found by scientists.
This person must weigh at least 1,000 pounds.
"My goodness! I thought this kind of thing could only be seen in movies. I didn't expect that what we see in movies is all too conservative. Look at the giant crocodile in front of us, its size, its weight, its huge mouth, wow!"
Chu Xingyue didn't care what they were talking about. All she knew was that she couldn't get bitten by the giant crocodile. Otherwise, it would take her a lot of effort to save them, and even if she did manage to save them, they would probably be useless. What use would it be to save their upper or lower bodies?
Chu Xingyue fell into deep thought as she watched the giant crocodiles basking in the sun on the shore.
To cross this shallow area, they had to wade across. The few boats on the shore had already alarmed them, and they didn't know how many more were in the deep pool, or if there were any other unknown dangers lurking there.
