The speed of the joint exploration team was not fast, it took five or six minutes to cover a distance of less than 100 meters.

It's still on the edge of the rainforest, but the white sand beaches of Weaver Bay and the vast and far-reaching Pacific Ocean are all left behind and out of sight!

At this time, there is only endless green around everyone, and what lingers in everyone's ears is the cheerful chirping of all kinds of birds, which is pleasant and beautiful!

Compared to the outside of the rainforest, the light here is much darker, and the sunlight can only shine through the gaps in the tall trees, bringing a little light to this dark world!

Although the rainforest is dark, humid and hot, with little sunlight, it is a paradise of life, with a dizzying variety of flora and fauna!

As the sub-canopy of the rainforest, the surface of this rainforest is mainly composed of small trees, vines and epiphytes, and ferns!

Some plants are epiphytic and entwined around the parasitic trunks, while others only use trees as supports, creating a wonderful scenery of 'trees on trees' and 'grass growing on leaves'.

There are also many kinds of animals living here, especially small animals and arboreal animals, not long after entering the rainforest, Ye Tian and they have already seen more than a dozen different animals!

The surface here is mostly covered with branches and fallen leaves, and is not as impassable as the legend goes, and much of the ground is bare, except for a thin layer of humus and fallen leaves.

Plus, because of its proximity to Weaver Bay, it's often populated by people ranging from Cocos Island rangers to adventure tourists!

Going back a bit, before 1978, there were even more people entering this rainforest, mostly professional treasure hunters who came to Cocos Island in search of pirate treasures!

Because of this, unlike the pristine rainforests of other places, there is no way to follow and new roads need to be opened.

Here, if you look closely, you can also find traces and roads left by people in the past, including the path taken by professional treasure hunters when they searched for pirate treasure on the island.

For Mattis, who is an expert in jungle warfare, it was a very easy task to find that these roads were not difficult at all.

No, while everyone was marching, Charlie's voice suddenly came from the headphones.

"Steven, we found two roads hidden by humus and fallen leaves, both of which are somewhat historical, one leads due east and the other leads southeast, which one should we take?"

Charlie and another security guard are the outposts of the joint exploration team, and they are tasked with finding the way forward while scouting what is ahead.

After hearing the briefing, Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but took out the hand-held navigator and began to check the exact location of everyone.

After pretending to look at it and confirm the exact location of the joint exploration team, he said through the wireless invisible headphones:

"Charlie, you take the southeast road, according to the treasure map in my hand, that is the treasure hunt that Gisler walked back then, let's go again today.

We don't have to change direction until we reach the foot of Jimenez, and I'll tell you where to go!"

"Okay, Steven, we'll leave markings on the road so you can see when you come here!"

Charlie answered, and ended the call.

After ending the call with Charlie, Ye Tian asked in a low voice through the headset:

"Mattis, where are Cook and his bunch of idiots?

"Judging from the positioning information, they are still in the mountain forest on the north side of Weaver Bay, about four or five hundred meters away from us, and they are approaching us, and it is estimated that they will be able to catch up soon!"

Matisse's voice came through the headphones, giving an accurate answer.

"Now that these L.A. idiots are about to catch up, let's play with them and see if these idiots are capable of being our opponents! Or just a bunch of idiots!

After we turn to the southeast, you lead people to erase all the traces of everyone's walking, create some illusions of going east, and confuse those fools to see if they can see through this trap!

If they're too stupid to see through the trap, then let them wander around in the rainforest!

Ye Tian chuckled and whispered, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"Hahaha, I like your idea, Steven, don't worry, I'll set up a perfect trap that will definitely make those idiots drink a pot!"

Matisse replied with a smile, his tone rather excited.

During the call with Matisse, Ye Tian did not stop, and continued to lead the joint exploration forward, gradually entering the depths of this tropical rainforest.

Not far ahead, everyone came to the fork in the road that Charlie just mentioned!

Before he got closer, Ye Tian found the mark left by Charlie!

It was a small broken branch, only a dozen centimeters long, thrown at random on a pile of dead branches and leaves, looking like it had been trampled off by some kind of small animal!

Seemingly inadvertently, the direction of the longer end of the broken branch is to the southeast of Mount Jimenez!

If it weren't for the fact that it was their own person and it was a mark agreed upon by everyone, it would be difficult for Ye Tian and them to find this branch, let alone other strangers!

At the same time as seeing this branch, Ye Tian also found traces of those two roads, as Charlie said just now, one leads to the east and the other leads to the southeast!

Immediately afterward, he secretly turned on the perspective and quickly took a look at the two roads that were hidden by humus and fallen leaves!

Charlie is right, these are two rather historical paths, which can be known from the broken copper and iron buried in the ground! Unfortunately, there are no valuable discoveries!

In an instant, Ye Tian grasped the situation here!

Then he withdrew his gaze, put an end to his perspective, and prepared to turn southeast, toward Mount Jimenez.

At this moment, behind several large trees on the right side of the exploration team, several gray shadows suddenly flashed, and they quickly rushed towards the side of the joint exploration team, and with a strange sound.

As soon as these shadows appeared, several security personnel on the right side of the exploration team reacted, and the muzzles of their assault rifles quickly pointed at the shadows, and they were about to fire!

When it was too late, Ye Tian's voice suddenly sounded, stopping several security personnel from firing.

"Guys, don't be nervous, these guys aren't our enemies, there's no need to end up with their lives!

When the words fell, everyone saw what these guys were.

It turned out to be four pigs, and it was four gray domestic pigs, not wild boars that were supposed to appear in the forest!

In the blink of an eye, the four pigs rushed past the front of the joint exploration team and disappeared into the jungle on the other side.

It wasn't until these guys disappeared completely that everyone came to their senses.

"I'm not mistaken? How can there be pigs here? Who would raise pigs on Cocos Island? It's whimsical to bring pigs here!"

Logan said in surprise, his eyes full of puzzlement.

The rest of the people, too, didn't quite understand what was happening in front of them.

Ye Tian looked at Logan next to him, and then explained with a smile:

"This is the work of some of the most famous pirates in history, who brought their pigs to this isolated island and raised them here as their own source of fresh meat!

In addition to domestic pigs, they also raised a number of deer on Cocos Island, which is now showing signs of overabundance of pigs and deer, causing a lot of damage to the island's rainforest ecology!

In the next exploration action, you will definitely see these two animals, if everyone is greedy, we can also kill one or two and have a barbecue feast!"

"Steven, you're a good idea, I agree with it very much! You'd better kill a few more pigs and deer, that will be beneficial to the preservation of Cocos Island's ecological environment!"

Professor Delgado echoed, looking approving.

As he spoke, Ye Tian had already stepped onto the road pointing to the southeast, and walked towards Jimenez Mountain with the joint exploration team.

Mattis, on the other hand, was a few steps behind and began to quietly set the trap! 2k reading web
