Chapter 258 Dangerous Jungle

Listening to Glenn's words, Bourne still didn't believe it. After all, Terra's strength was obvious to all. It was just a forest, how dangerous could it be?

And he firmly believes that there will always be brave men when there is a big reward!
Then Bourne made an offer that was impossible to refuse.

"Two thousand gold coins for one time? The people of Terra are really rich. To be honest, I'm a little tempted, but I firmly believe that money... is money only if you have a life to spend it. But don't worry, I will tell everyone your conditions, hehe... If I hide this news, I guess those people outside will tear me to pieces." Glenn said mockingly.

"Glenn, I think you have stayed the longest in the entire camp, right? I believe you are the one who knows this continent best, and I also believe that everything has a price. You can set your conditions. As long as it is in the human kingdom of the Old World, there is nothing we can't do. I would rather you lead the way."

Bourne continued.

"All human kingdoms? I don't know where your confidence comes from, but I don't want to take on this job just yet."

"I'm sure there will be a time when you'll change your mind."

Sure enough, after Glenn mentioned the reward, the whole camp was in an uproar.

Some people doubted its authenticity, but when Terra's soldiers threw several large boxes of gold coins on the ground, no one doubted its authenticity anymore.

The number of people willing to sign up is countless times more than expected.

Bourne picked the two guides who had been here the longest and began the first exploration.

20 soldiers and two guides walked deep into the rainforest with their equipment.

The edge of the dense forest has been almost developed after countless people's exploration, and the possible dangers and species distribution here have also been surveyed.

This ensured that the group did not encounter any danger along the way.

"Captain, this forest doesn't seem that dangerous, does it?"

"Don't let your guard down, this is clearly still the periphery, stay alert!"

"Yes!"

But the soldier who spoke at the beginning felt a pain in his neck. He reached out to touch his neck and felt a fierce burning sensation.

"Don't touch it! If I touch it again, your hand will be lost!"

A guide ran over quickly and checked the Terra soldier's neck.

"It's the tree frog! He's been poisoned! Get out of there!"

"Tree frog? What is that? There is no response from the detection equipment at all!" said the team leader in confusion.

Seeing his teammate's body begin to twitch violently, he immediately took out the first aid injection and stabbed it into the teammate's neck.

The symptoms were relieved but the problem was not solved, and the physical condition of the team members continued to deteriorate rapidly!

"What kind of venom is this!"

While the captain was panicking, the guide chewed some unknown herbs in his mouth, mixed them together, and applied the chewed leaves and juice on the soldier's neck.

Soon, the soldier's twitching body stabilized.

“We have to get him out quickly, he can’t explore further,” the guide said.

"What did you just apply to him?"

"Hehe, I don't know either. Anyway, this is a formula that countless people have exchanged their lives for. Some of the native plants here can detoxify the venom of certain creatures."

"It's amazing..."

"That's right! There are always unexpected things happening on this continent."

"So what kind of creature is it? Why can't we see it?" Captain Terra continued to ask.

"Look over there!"

The guide pointed to a tree crown, and the Terra soldier looked carefully for a long time before he saw a tree frog lying there quietly, almost blending into the environment.

"Color-changing camouflage plus a cold-blooded animal? No wonder the thermal sensor and intelligent detection systems couldn't identify it."

Terra's captain thought to himself that this would undoubtedly add a lot of difficulties to their next move.

"You two, protect the injured and return to the camp! We will continue exploring!"

But one person's injury cannot make them give up the mission.

Under the guidance of the guide, the team continued to move forward, but soon they realized the true horror of this forest.

There are poisonous creatures everywhere that are hard to guard against, and huge beasts. "Yes! Iguana! Run!"

The guide's face changed drastically when he saw the footprints on the ground, and he urged the Terra soldiers to return to the camp quickly.

“Iguana?”

Hearing this name he had never heard of before, the team leader didn't know what he would face next.

I only heard a sound coming from above my head.

A group of huge lizard creatures that change colors are crawling on the branches.

"Watch your head!"

As if they were discovered by their prey, the group of iguanas jumped down and pounced on the crowd.

"Fire! Fire! For the God-Emperor!"

The laser's scorching rays pierced through iguanas one after another. It was hard to tell how such huge bodies could climb up the trees.

"Captain! There are too many of them!" As soon as the Terra soldier finished speaking, an iguana pounced on him.

His teammates came to his aid quickly, but it was still a little too late, and the sharp teeth had pierced his throat.

"Alternate firing! Retreat! Retreat!"

One of the two guides had also died tragically.

The sounds of fierce fighting here seemed to attract more and more jungle creatures.

No matter how many the soldiers killed, more jungle creatures would come.

The ground began to shake, and feeling the vibration, the team leader's face changed drastically.

I saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex destroying one dense forest after another and rushing towards the crowd.

Looking at the bloody mouth of the Tyrannosaurus, everyone no longer cared about anything else and ran away madly.

"Throw the grenade!"

The dense forest terrain cannot carry heavy firepower, and grenades are the most effective range weapons this team can carry.

Things like flamethrowers can only injure 1000 enemies and 800 of your own people in a dense forest. In the final analysis, Terra's usual strength made everyone underestimate the enemy.

The explosion caused by the grenade finally gave everyone a chance to escape.

Inside the camp, the sound of explosions in the distance also attracted Bourne's attention.

Didn't the team just leave for a while? How could such a large-scale exchange of fire occur?
"Be careful of the enemies in the dense forest!"

All the soldiers who were resting took up their weapons.

After a while, the embarrassed people walked out of the forest.

"What's going on! What happened?!"

Bourne asked quickly.

Of the 20-man team, only 15 returned at this time.

"Lord Bourne... the forest... is full of wild beasts..."

The captain said with fear.

Soon a quarter of the team was killed, and this was before they went any further. Bourne now seemed to understand what Glenn meant by having money but no lives to spend it.

Glenn was also standing in the distance, looking at the team as if everything was within his expectations.

This continent cannot be conquered by just one or two armies, otherwise human exploration teams would not have been huddled in this small camp for so many years.

If the beasts inside wanted to flatten this place, it would only take a few minutes.

"You guys go get treatment first."

Bourne returned to his command post with a frown. It seemed that completing the mission of the God-Emperor was not so easy.
