Chapter 1110: Trap

The joint exploratory team did not travel very fast. It took five or six minutes to cover a distance of less than 100 meters.
This is still the edge of the tropical rainforest, but the white sandy beaches of Weaver Bay and the vast and far-reaching Pacific Ocean are all left behind by everyone and are no longer visible!
At this time, there is only endless green surrounding everyone; what lingers in everyone's ears is all the cheerful chirping of all kinds of birds, sweet and beautiful!
Compared to the rainforest, the light here is much darker. The sunlight can only shine into the rainforest through the gaps of tall trees, bringing a little light to this dark world!
Although the surface of the rainforest is gloomy and dark, humid and hot, and there is not much sunlight, it is a paradise of life, with an extremely wide variety of animals and plants, which is dizzying!
As the rainforest sub-canopy, the surface plants of this rainforest are mainly composed of small trees, vines and epiphytes, and ferns!
Some plants are epiphytes, entwined with parasitic tree trunks, other plants only use trees as supports, forming a wonderful scenery of "trees growing on trees" and "grass growing on leaves".
The species of animals living here are also extremely diverse, especially small animals and arboreal animals. Not long after they entered the rainforest, Ye Tian and the others had already seen a dozen different animals!
The ground here is mostly covered by branches and fallen leaves, not as impassable as in the legends. Except for the thin layer of humus soil and fallen leaves, many of the ground is bare.
In addition, because it is close to Weaver Bay, people often enter here, including rangers on Cocos Island and tourists who come to Cocos Island for adventure tourism!
Pushing forward a bit, before 1978, more people entered this rainforest, most of them were professional treasure hunters who came to Cocos Island to find pirate treasures!
Because of this, it is not like the pristine tropical rain forests in other places. There is no way to go, and new roads need to be opened.
Here, as long as you carefully observe, you can still find the traces and roads left by the people in the past, including the roads taken by professional treasure hunters when searching for pirate treasure on the island.
For Matisse, who are experts in jungle warfare, it is very easy to find that these roads are not difficult at all.
No, when everyone was on the road, Charlie's voice suddenly came through the headphones.
"Steven, we found two roads covered by humus layers and fallen leaves. They all have some history. One road leads to the east and the other leads to the southeast. Which one should we take?"
Charlie and another security guard are the outpost of the joint exploration team. While investigating the situation ahead, they also have the responsibility to explore the way forward.
After hearing the announcement, Ye Tian did not immediately respond. Instead, he took out the handheld navigator pretentiously and began to check the exact location of everyone.
After pretending to look at it, and after confirming the exact location of the joint exploration team, he said through the wireless invisible headset:
"Charlie, you take the road southeast. According to the treasure map in my hand, that is the path that Giesler walked through the treasure hunt back then. Let's walk it again today.
Follow that road until Jimenez. We don’t have to change our direction. After reaching the foot of Jimenez, I will tell you how to go next! "
"Okay! Steven, we will leave a mark on the road so you can see it when you come over!"
Charlie answered and ended the call.
After finishing the call with Charlie, Ye Tian asked through the headset in a low voice:
"Matis, where are Cook and his idiots? It should not be far from us?"
"From the location information, they are still in the mountain forest on the north side of Weaver Bay, about four to five hundred meters away from us. They are approaching us, and they are expected to follow soon!"
Matisse's voice came from the earphones and gave an accurate answer.
"Since these Los Angeles idiots are about to follow, play with them and see if these idiots are capable of being our opponents! Or just a bunch of veritable idiots!
After we turned to the southeast, you took people to erase all traces of everyone's walk, create some illusions of going east, and confuse those idiots to see if they can see through this trap!
If they see through this trap, then let's go back and clean up these idiots, there is a chance! If they are too stupid to break the trap, let them wander in the rain forest!
Ye Tian chuckled and said in a low voice, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"Hahaha, I like your thoughts, Steven, don't worry, I will set up a perfect trap, definitely enough for those idiots to drink a pot!"
Matisse responded with a smile, his tone quite excited.
During the conversation with Matisse and the others, Ye Tian did not stop, and continued to lead the joint exploration forward, gradually walking into the depths of this tropical rain forest.
Not far ahead, everyone came to the fork in the road Charlie just mentioned!
Before getting closer, Ye Tian found the mark left by Charlie!
It was a small broken branch, only ten centimeters long, thrown at random on a pile of dead branches and fallen leaves, looking like it had been stepped on by some kind of small animal! Very unremarkable!
Seemingly inadvertently, the direction pointed by the longer end of the broken branch is exactly to the southeast of Mount Jimenez!
If it weren't because it was his own person and the mark agreed upon by everyone, it would be difficult for Ye Tian and others to find this branch, let alone other strangers!
While seeing this branch, Ye Tian also found the traces of those two roads, as Charlie just said, one leads to the east and the other leads to the southeast!
Immediately afterwards, he secretly opened the perspective, and quickly saw through the two roads covered by the humus soil layer and fallen leaves!
Charlie is right. These are two roads with a bit of history. You can tell from the broken copper and iron buried in the ground! Unfortunately, there are no valuable discoveries!
In a flash, Ye Tian grasped the situation here!
Then he withdrew his gaze, ended the perspective, and then prepared to turn to the southeast and head towards Jimenez.
At this moment, behind the large trees on the right side of the exploration team, a few gray shadows suddenly flashed, and they rushed towards the joint exploration team quickly with a strange sound.
As soon as these shadows appeared, the security personnel on the right side of the exploratory team responded. The muzzle of their assault rifle quickly pointed at the shadows, and they were about to open fire!
When it was said that it was too late, Ye Tian's voice suddenly sounded, stopping several security personnel from firing.
"Guys, don't be nervous, these guys are not our enemies, there is no need to end their lives! Let them continue to survive here!"
After the words fell, everyone could see exactly what these guys were.
It turned out to be four pigs and four gray domestic pigs, not wild boars that should have appeared in the forest!
In a blink of an eye, the four pigs quickly rushed past the front of the joint exploration team and disappeared into the jungle on the other side.
It wasn't until these guys completely disappeared that everyone woke up.
"I'm not mistaken? How come there are domestic pigs here? Who will raise pigs on Cocos Island? It's fantastic to bring domestic pigs here!"
Logan said in surprise, eyes full of puzzlement.
The others are the same, they don't quite understand what is happening in front of them.
Ye Tian looked at Logan next to ~EbookFREE.me~ and then smiled and explained:
"This is the masterpiece of those famous pirates in history. They brought pigs to this isolated overseas island and raised them here as their self-sufficient source of fresh meat!
In addition to domestic pigs, they also raised a lot of deer on Cocos Island. Pigs and deer on this island now show signs of flooding, which has caused considerable damage to the rainforest ecological environment on the island!
In the next exploration, you will definitely see these two animals. If you are greedy, we can also kill one or two and have a barbecue feast! "
"Steven, you have a good idea, I very much agree! You'd better kill a few more pigs and deer, it will be beneficial and harmless to the maintenance of the ecological environment of Cocos Island!"
Professor Delgado echoed, with a look of approval.
While speaking, Ye Tian had already stepped onto the road pointing to the southeast, and led the joint exploration team toward Jimenez Mountain.
Matisse was a few steps behind and began to quietly arrange traps!
