The joint exploration team did not move fast, and it took five or six minutes to travel less than a hundred meters.

This place is still the edge of the rainforest, but the white sand beaches of Weaver Bay and the vast and far-reaching Pacific Ocean are left behind by everyone and can no longer be seen!

At this time, there was only endless green around everyone; what was lingering in everyone's ears were the cheerful chirping of all kinds of birds, pleasant and beautiful!

Compared to outside the rainforest, the light here is much darker, and the sun can only shine into the rainforest through the gaps between tall trees, bringing some light to this dark world!

Although the rainforest surface is gloomy and dark, humid and hot, and there is no need to see much sunshine, it is a paradise of life, with extremely numerous species of animals and plants, which is dazzling!

As the subcanopy of the rainforest, the surface plants of this rainforest are mainly composed of small trees, vines and epiphytes, and ferns!

Some plants are epiphyseal and entangled on the parasitic trunks. Other plants only use trees as support to form a wonderful scenery of "trees on trees" and "grass on leaves".

There are also a wide variety of animals living here, especially small animals and arboreal animals. Not long after entering the rainforest, Ye Tian and the others have seen more than a dozen different animals!

Most of the surface here is covered with branches and fallen leaves, and is not as inaccessible as the legendary ones. Apart from the thin humus and fallen leaves, many of the ground are naked.

In addition, since it is close to Weaver Bay, people often enter here, including forest rangers on Cocos Island and tourists who come to Cocos Island for adventure tours!

Push forward a little, before 1978, more people entered this rainforest, most of whom were professional treasure hunters who came to Cocos Island to find pirate treasures!

Because of this, this place is not like the original tropical rainforests in other places, and there is no way to go and new roads are needed.

Here, as long as you observe carefully, you can also find traces and roads left by people in the past, including many of the roads that professional treasure hunters walked when they were looking for pirate treasures on the island.

For Mattis, a jungle war expert, it is very easy to find these roads without any difficulty.

Just now, as everyone was moving, Charlie's voice suddenly came from his headphones.

"Steven, we found two roads covered by humus and leaves, both of which are somewhat historical. One road leads to the east and the other road leads to the southeast. Which one should we go?"

Charlie and another security officer are the outposts of the joint exploration team. While exploring the situation ahead, they also have the responsibility to explore the way forward.

After hearing the notice, Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but took out his hand-held navigation device seriously and began to check the exact location of everyone.

After watching it in a pretentious manner and confirming the exact location of the joint exploration team, he said through the wireless stealth headset:

"Charlie, you take the southeastern road. According to the treasure map in my hand, that is exactly what Gisler walked on the treasure hunt back then. Let's go again today.

Follow that road ahead until Mount Jimenez, we don’t have to change our direction. After we reach the foot of Mount Jimenez, I will tell you what to do next!”

"Okay! Steven, we'll leave marks on the road, you'll see it when you come here!"

Charlie answered and ended the call immediately.

After finishing the call with Charlie, Ye Tian asked in a low voice through his headphones:

"Where have Matisse Cook and his idiots gone? They should be not far from us, right?"

"From the location information, they are still in the forest on the north side of Weaver Bay, about four or five hundred meters away from us, approaching us, and they will probably be able to keep up soon!"

Mattis's voice came from his headphones, giving the exact answer.

"Since these Los Angeles idiots are about to follow, let's play with them and see if these idiots have the ability to be our opponents! Or they are just a bunch of idiots who deserve their name!

After we turn southeast, you will lead people to erase all the traces of everyone passing by, create some illusions of going eastward, confuse those idiots and see if they can see through this trap!

If they see through this trap, then we will go back and deal with these idiots. There are opportunities! If they are too stupid and cannot see through the trap, then let them wander around the rain forest!

Ye Tian chuckled and said in a low voice, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Hahaha, I love your idea, Steven, though rest assured, I'll set up a perfect trap, definitely enough for those idiots to drink a pot!"

Mattis 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 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 discovered the mark left by Charlie!

It was a broken tiny branch, only a dozen centimeters long, thrown on a pile of dead branches and leaves, looking like it was trampled by some kind of small animal! Very inconspicuous!

It seems that inadvertently, the direction pointed at the longer end of the broken branch is exactly the southeast of Mount Jimenez!

If it weren't for their own people and the mark that everyone agreed upon, Ye Tian and the others would find it difficult to find this branch, let alone other strangers!

While seeing this branch, Ye Tian also found traces of the two roads. As Charlie said just now, one leads to the east and the other leads to the southeast!

Immediately afterwards, he secretly opened his perspective and quickly looked through the two roads covered by humus and fallen leaves!

Charlie is right. These are two paths with quite a bit of history. You can tell from the broken copper and iron buried underground! Unfortunately, there is no valuable discovery!

In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian grasped the situation here!

Then he withdrew his gaze, ended his perspective, and then prepared to take a step towards the southeast and head towards Mount Jimenez.

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

As soon as these shadows appeared, several security personnel on the right side of the exploration team had already reacted. The muzzle of the assault rifle in their hands quickly pointed at the shadows, and they were about to open fire!

At that time, Ye Tian's voice suddenly sounded, stopping several security personnel from firing.

"You 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 came to an end, everyone could see clearly what these guys were.

It turned out to be four pigs, and four gray domestic pigs, and it is not a wild boar that should have appeared in the forest!

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

It was not until these guys disappeared that everyone woke up.

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

Logan said in surprise, with confusion.

The rest of the people were the same, and they didn't quite understand the scene that happened in front of them.

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

"This is the masterpiece of the famous pirates in history. They took pigs to this island overseas and stocked them here to serve as their self-sufficient source of fresh meat!

In addition to domestic pigs, they also raised a lot of deer on Cocos Island. Now there are signs of flooding pigs and deer on this island, which has caused considerable damage to the island's rainforest ecological environment!

In the next exploration, everyone will definitely see these two animals. If everyone is greedy, we can kill one or two of them and have a barbecue feast!”

"Steven, your idea is good, I agree very much! You'd better kill a few more pigs and deer, which will be beneficial or harmless to maintain the ecological environment of Cocos Island!"

Professor Delgado echoed, looking deeply convinced.

While speaking, Ye Tian had already stepped on the road pointing to the southeast and led the joint exploration team toward Mount Jimenez.
Chapter completed!
