After a silent night, Zhao Bankuo stayed on guard for the rest of the night, and was replaced just before dawn. He had just squinted his eyes for an hour when he was shaken awake by a military doctor, who handed him half a helmet of dew and washed it with water.

He raised his head to look at Liao Guoren and found the captain standing on the top of a big tree not far away, looking non-stop in one direction with a telescope.

Based on yesterday's inference, Zhao Bankuo knew that Liao Guoren was probably looking for some distinctive terrain to get out of, so he also climbed over and stood behind him to look around. It didn't matter what he saw, he immediately felt a sense of suffocation.

, his eyes widened instantly.

Climbing high and looking into the distance, Zhao Bankuo finally realized the meaning of this sentence. Yesterday, on the ground, the dense tree trunks and weeds restricted their sight to a very small area, and nothing could be seen except the tree trunks.

Now standing at the highest point of the forest, the canopies of the trees are connected together, forming a large green barrier that can't be seen. With the ups and downs of the terrain, it shows a wave shape of different heights. It is so spectacular that it is beyond words.

surface.

Following the direction of the telescope, Zhao Bankuo saw a large area not far away where the tree crown was originally very flat, with several strange trees standing abruptly. The reason for saying those strange trees is that they are really extremely tall.

More than ten meters above the "sea of ​​trees" below it, at first glance it looks like a wooden peg in a large patch of grass!

Zhao Bankuo was not familiar with the ecology of the primeval forest, but he also knew that if you divide this kind of sea of ​​trees according to the height difference, it is easy to distinguish the types. The strange thing is that those with higher heights look from a distance.

The large trees in a section are obviously of the same type as the ones at their feet. Big trees like the sun. Wherever the sun shines, the trees will grow dense and tall, but the trees in the distance suddenly grow so tall.

There is definitely something wrong with one section, and there must be something wrong with its root.

Zhao Bankuo thought for a moment and leaned over and asked: "Captain, those trees over there look very wrong. Why are they taller than the other trees?"

Liao Guoren did not look back and said: "There is something very wrong with those trees. There seems to be something underneath, and I can't see clearly through the telescope." After a few seconds, he said again, "There are a few dots on the map that represent heights. I

I couldn't find it down there yesterday, and I thought I had made a mistake, but now I understand that those dots can only be seen from high up, and they should be those trees."

Liao Guoren came down from the top of the tree and told everyone about the situation. Soon, after sorting out their equipment, everyone came down from the tree one by one.

He walked in the direction Liao Guoren was looking at.

With the sound of "Arrived", Zhao Bankuo looked up and saw several things appearing not far ahead. Because they were blocked by many trees, he could suddenly only see that they were huge in size and turned into a patch of green. He looked over inadvertently.

, like a standing green giant. Zhao Bankuo was surprised for a while and thought to himself, shouldn't there be a few big trees in that position?

Everyone walked over cautiously, and as they got closer, they discovered that the green giants covered by weeds were actually several huge stone Buddha statues.

They are all unusually large in size. The lotus base at the foot alone is seven or eight meters tall, and the height reaches more than ten meters. Looking up, the upper body of the Buddha statue is covered by vines and weeds, and it is almost impossible to see it.

What made Zhao Bankuo even more strange was that each of the heads of these stone Buddhas actually had a big tree on their head! Those winding tree roots extended from the round earth mound on the Buddha's head.

, like the unkempt hair that hangs upside down, tightly wraps around the Buddha's head, making this originally majestic and tall Buddha statue look a little funny.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Bankuo understood why these trees were so tall. With these Buddhas supporting them at the bottom, it was difficult not to think tall.

Daniel and Cao Guojiu, who had always been in charge of the team leader, were standing in front. Seeing such a strange Buddha statue, they inevitably wanted to take a closer look, but before Daniel could reach his face to the base of the Buddha statue,

He suddenly stepped back as if he had seen a ghost, and almost knocked Uncle Cao Guo down.

"Scorpions, there are scorpions here!" Daniel pointed to a location on the base and exclaimed.

Everyone gathered around and saw that there were many large cracks in the base due to age, and in the middle of the cracks, densely packed black scorpions could be seen.

Uncle Cao Guo smiled and threw the cigarette butt into the gap. The scorpions immediately crawled out of the gap: "What a fuss."

Daniel seemed to have a special fear of scorpions, and tried his best to shoot several of them with his gun: "I heard that scorpions are afraid of chickens. Which of you is a chicken? Go over and get rid of this thing. I am the most fucking disgusting thing."

Son."

"I have a dick, but no chicken." Cao Guojiu replied with a cold face, patted his gun and walked towards the jungle.

Daniel knew that he was going to be on guard. This had become a routine, so he could only curse in secret. Wang Sixiang was originally carrying a knife and wanted to put him under the Buddha statue, but he directly moved his position and found an open space near a tree.

He let it go.

The team members roughly circled around the Buddha statue and found nothing else, so they were a little strange. Generally, wherever there are Buddha statues, there will be temples or pagodas, but within the area of ​​one or two hundred square meters around these Buddha statues,

Not to mention there are buildings, not even a single brick paving the floor. Who put these things here? What is their use?

Zhao Bankuo's understanding of Buddhism was only at the stage where monks don't have hair. He didn't bother to study this kind of thing in depth, so he just looked at it. However, standing under these Buddha statues, he always felt that there was something to say.

A feeling of uncertainty emerged from the bottom of his heart. He thought it was because he raised his head too high.

He straightened up and saw Liao Guoren standing under a nearby tree looking at a map. Zhao Bankuo had just walked over. Liao Guoren pointed to a position on the map and said: "Bankuo, look, this is our current location.

Those points should refer to these Buddha statues."

Zhao Bankuo nodded, looked at the tightly packed black dots on the map, and asked: "Captain, what do you think of these black dots?"

"The number of these black spots does not match the four Buddha statues. There are obviously two more. The scale of the map is not small. We have to run for a while to cover a larger distance. Now we should be near these four black spots.

There are two black spots on the left, that is, in the west, which should also be this kind of Buddha statue. Let's go over and have a look." Liao Guoren put away the map, "It's only a few steps away, let's go out first."

With that said, Liao Guoren stood up and greeted the team members to continue on their way.

Zhao Bankuo straightened up and picked up the gun. Before he could move, he looked up and saw Wang Sixun next to him, who was pulling Xiao Dao Zi's body hard. Xiao Dao Zi held the Buddha base under him with one hand and pushed Wang Si with the other.

His waist seemed to be struggling with his unwillingness to stand up.

What's going on? Seeing the Buddha statue, he wants to take refuge, but he can't leave? Zhao Bankuo felt strange and walked towards the two of them. He just took two steps and found something was wrong. Wang Sixiang's movements were very big, and it didn't look like it at all.

He was pulling someone, but it seemed like he was pushing someone. But Xiao Daozi's hand was always grasping Wang Sixiang's chest, and he would not let go no matter how hard Wang Sixiang pulled. The two people were in a stalemate, pushing each other back and forth.

There.

The other team members also saw the "pull" between these two people. Daniel was the first to shout: "You naughty boy, it's time to continue on your way, you know? Why, why are you carrying you on your back?"
Chapter completed!
