Chapter 116 Civilization X Greed X Death
Nine deaths have always been synonymous with the dense forest of Amaro. Here, wherever the eyes can see, there may be danger lurking, even if it is just an insignificant bug, it can kill a person.
The light red ground seemed to have been watered with blood, and if one stepped on it, shallow footprints would be left behind.
The vines, branches and dead leaves covered the ground, leaving not many gaps, and also provided hiding places for more creatures.
Surrounded by towering trees, the dense branches and leaves interweave an airtight roof above the head, making it impossible to judge the approximate height of the trees.
Here, except for the turbid yellow of the river running through the dense forest, everything that comes into view is green, and there are basically no colorful flowers to be seen.
Walking in such an environment, people's sense of time and space will be disjointed unconsciously. No matter how long they walk, the surrounding scenery will still bring a feeling of deja vu.
Just walking into the Yamalo jungle, the most common plant is the arrow bamboo tree, which is also the main material for building the Yamalo village.
The trunk of the arrow bamboo tree is relatively thin, one or two circles larger than ordinary bamboos, but the crown is unusually lush, giving people the illusion that it can cover the sky and block out the sun.
A group of three walked into the dense forest, and the Golden City, which Dongba casually mentioned, became the topic at this time.
"In ancient times, a powerful empire was born in the dense forest of Amalo. That empire used the inexhaustible gold in the dense forest of Amalo to build a capital. Whether it is a palace or a temple, it was built with a lot of gold. "
"Compared to the legend of the Golden City, the Golden Lake is more convincing. After all, there is no news that the site of the Golden City has been found, but there is indeed a lake in the Yamalo jungle."
Dongba deaf, holding dead fish eyes, walked in the forest like a tour guide, explaining the legend of the Golden City.
Use some attractive stories to lower the vigilance of these two people, and then slowly lead them into the trap.
This is Dongba's plan, but the legend about the Golden City and the Golden Lake is not a random story, but a real one.
Every year, many people from all over the world come to the Amalo jungle, just for the legend, but what most people appreciate is the horror of the Amalo jungle.
Countless hunters lurking in the darkness took the humans who broke into the territory as their hunting targets, like a mouth wide open to the extreme, devouring countless outsiders.
Luo and Bhara each held a piece of jerky and chewed while listening to Dongba's explanation, just like tourists who signed up for a tour.
"and then?"
Luo chewed the delicious jerky and urged Dongba to continue talking.
Like a qualified tour guide who is good at talking, Dongba continued: "The Golden City implements a monarchy system. According to legend, in the coronation ceremony of succeeding the throne, the heir to the throne will be naked, covered with gold powder, and then walk into the lake. Swim in it to wash away the gold dust.”
"During this process, the subjects will throw all kinds of gold ornaments into the lake to show their recognition and submission to the heir to the throne."
"This is the origin of the Golden Lake. By the way, these are all legends. So far, no one has discovered a large amount of gold in the Yamalo jungle."
Dongba quietly observed the surrounding environment while talking. This is the main area of the arrow bamboo tree, and it is also the place where the land spider crabs are more active. First, find the spider crabs...
"In that case, how did you conclude that the woman just came for the Golden City?" Luo swallowed the jerky and looked at Dongba with a smile.
Dongba stretched out his index finger and replied calmly: "Although no one has found a large amount of gold, many people have found some well-crafted gold ornaments in the only lake in Yamalo."
"Oh?" Luo was quite surprised. If this statement is true, it is a strong proof.
But when Sambika inquired about the Yamalo jungle, he didn't see any information about the Golden City, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.
Perhaps, in this vast and boundless dense forest, there really was a splendid ancient civilization, even if it was just a flash in the pan in the long history...
If there is a Golden City, then, in the ruins that have not seen the sun, there may be many ancient relics that have been precipitated over time.
"The gold ornaments that have been found seem to be telling people that there is indeed a golden city here. Therefore, there are a lot of people who are not afraid of death. Every year, many people want to try their luck in the Amaro jungle."
"Of course, the fate of these people is not very good, and no matter how many people died in the Yamalo jungle, it is impossible for you to see the corpses, because..." Dongba showed a dangerous smile, as if he was frightened by ghost stories. That gesture when I was a child, said: "Here, not even a bone will be left."
Buhara scratched his cheek, and said seriously: "There are no bones left, it seems that there must be ferocious dogs here."
"Mr. Dongba knows a lot." Luo looked surprised, clapped his palms lightly, and gave friendly applause.
"what…"
Dongba's face twitched slightly, and he explained: "I have a habit of doing my homework in advance no matter where I go, so I'm prepared."
"Good habit." Luo gave Dongba a thumbs up.
Dongba smiled, and at this moment, he suddenly stopped while clutching his stomach, and let out a series of grunts.
Buhara asked suspiciously, "Are you hungry?"
"It sounded more like diarrhea." Luo said helplessly.
"Oh." Buhara was stunned.
"That..." Dongba squatted halfway covering his stomach, with a slight pain on his face, and said, "I'll go and make it easier for you, you two, wait for me at the front."
"no problem."
Luo took a deep look at Dongba, and took Buhara to the front, ready to wait for Dongba to settle the inventory in his stomach.
The look in Luo Na's eyes before he turned and left made Dongba's heart skip a beat, but when he saw that the two had already walked forward, he immediately gave a sinister smile, got up and backed away for a distance, and walked into a low bush, pretending to Relieve.
He walked all the way, but he was always looking for land spider crabs. Just now, he finally found one, so he pretended to have diarrhea and let Luo and Buhara go ahead first.
"I wish you good luck." Dongba silently looked at the backs of Luo and Buhara.
Arrow bamboo trees are all over here, and there are many different big trees. Their common feature is that the canopy is dense and blocks most of the light sources.
After Luo and Buhara walked side by side for dozens of meters, the surrounding arrow bamboo trees moved without warning. Under the gaze of the two, four or five tree trunks rose from the soil and were lifted into the air, revealing their sharp bottoms.
A land spider crab disguised as a bamboo forest...?
Looking at four or five arrows hanging in the air, like arrows ready to go, Luo looked calm and said with a smile: "Buhara, do you want to eat crabs?"
Buhara also looked at the four or five arrow bamboos hanging in the air, and nodded when he heard that.
"Then stand next to me and don't do anything," Luo said.
Buhara was taken aback for a moment, and simply replied: "Okay."
Before the words fell, the arrow bamboo hanging in the air suddenly stabbed towards Luo and Buhala from different directions like thunder.
In such a situation, Bharat actually did nothing and stood beside Luo.
Dongba, who was hiding behind the bushes, watched the scene peacefully and was ready to escape.
In the next second, Dongba's peaceful face suddenly changed into an expression of disbelief.
He saw... the legs of the Land Spider Crab, which can easily string people together, were easily caught by Luo with both hands.
