Chapter 678: Distant mountains.

In Nigeria, in the southwest of the Nsukka region, bordering the Sotu rainforest, the ingenious work of nature has created its unique rainforest climate. The green forest located on this continent is dark and isolated and has countless plants and biological species that even the oldest local residents were unaware of. Local indigenous residents agree the Sotu rainforest at night is a no-go place for human beings.

……

Mampia, who just turned 20 last week, is a lucky native born in a nearby village. It was his greatest chance to join General Mopu’s guard. Therefore, in the exploration team of 500 people selected by Buzz, he who was born in the region was lucky enough to be appointed temporary captain of one of the groups of soldiers, so he led nine subordinates in the mountains to find this magic mineral.

The outer mountains of the Sotu Rainforest have a rough outline in Mampia’s mind. So he chose to go to the other side of the rainforest, the farthest part of the Sotu rainforest to find this magic mineral, because in his mind, if there are minerals like gems grouped together in the nearby mountains, they will certainly not escape the eyes of the locals who have lived here for generations, and since Demampia has never had such luck as a group captain before, he has chosen to take a different path from the other group leaders, having in his mind, the other search parties will search the nearby mountains and return empty-handed.

The other side of the Sotu rainforest is uninhabited, where the mountains are steep, and farther north is a dangerous desert. It seems like all the nutrients in this land have been absorbed by the Sotu rainforest and even the locals won’t set foot there based on that idea, so that’s where the minerals are most likely to get to find..

As soon as the nine members of his team learned the hometown of Mampia was nearby, they drove their van up the steep mountains without much mobilization. Seeking wealth and risking wealth.

……

When I don’t even have the courage to take risks, what else can I talk about?

This trip was extremely exciting, and the inaccessible rainforest of Sotu gave birth to many wild animals that made their home deep in the rainforest.

……

When Mampia and the others passed near a cheetah sleeping behind a rock, the latter charged like lightning. Mampia and the others were taken aback and if they hadn’t brought two assault rifles to their side, and if they hadn’t been sitting on the van and two seconds away from the Cheetah…

This sort of African savanna swallowed deadly hunters and easily digests them as soon as they were bitten in the throat with a single face-to-face. ~There’s no point in piling too many bare-handed humans in front of a cheetah~.

In the end, the van stopped at the bottom of the mountain. Mampia and his companions crawled cautiously up the side of the mountain. When they encountered small gravels, they quickly picked them up with their daggers.

With the sun scorching above their heads and the scorching heat in the air and the absence of clouds, Mampia and his group searched from afternoon until the evening, they found many-colored ores, but they were not those described by Chief Buzz.

The enthusiasm of a few hours ago was destroyed by the unforgiving reality and the exhausted body. They started cursing, no matter what wild animals they encountered, they threw rocks at them, or shot at them to chase them away, and just when they wanted to give up and decided to go down the mountain to return to camp in their van, a sturdy ibex with brown and gray fur and curling horns on its head appeared before them.

Mampia unknowingly broke a stone and wanted to burrow the wild goat, shouting with a strange cry of “baa~”, and he realized one thing. Since he couldn’t find the type of ore described by his superior, then this plump and strong wild goat, perhaps a beautiful “harvest”.

“Let’s catch it!” shouted Mampia enthusiastically.

The assault rifle rang out, but unfortunately, the nimble goat had already jumped elsewhere, then dodged and disappeared behind a small tree…

Mampia and the others rubbed their eyes fiercely “Did they run into a ghost?”. Obviously, there was only a lonely dwarf tree, and the goat had nowhere to hide, how can it disappear?

Holding the barrel of the weapon, the group of people leaned together and bravely stepped forward, only to discover there was an inconspicuous cave hidden by the large rock face behind the dwarf tree. Mampia and the others were amazed and remembered that before they left Chief Buzz explained to them that cliffs and caves were the best targets for exploration.

Luckily they brought flashlights, and Mampia, the most daring, walked first. The cave was very dry, but it had an unmistakable smell. Are there lions in it?

Assault rifle in hand, Mampia was unafraid and moved forward cautiously.

“Me in front ~Follow me~”

After walking a few meters, the cave turned on its side, and when the light flashed in that direction, Mampia saw the wild goat, she was trembling, and under the light, her eyes were gray and white, and she seemed full of pain.

There was a sound of a blast of cold air resounding from time to time. Suddenly… Mampia saw deep in the cave, not only were the goat’s eyes reflective but stones behind it were strewn, small yellow gems like diamonds. They were tightly packed together, and the light made them reflect light, and a dreamy misty glow appeared on his face. If it weren’t for the rocks above their heads, Mampia’s group would certainly be jumping a meter high in excitement. Green, clumped like diamonds, isn’t that the kind of magic mineral Captain Buzz was talking about?

“Quick ~ Sirang, you go to the van and call Mr. Buzz to bring someone immediately.”

Sudden luck caused Mampia to ignore the trembling and badly sore goat. Someone in the back of the team immediately responded, then rushed out of the cave. No one thought that just after the companion who left to report the message, the exhausted goat suddenly knelt down.

“My God, this goat can really kneel!”

“Is she begging for mercy? Or is this her den, and how many cubs hide behind it?”

Mampia, in a good mood, was surprised and did not hesitate to let go of the goat which brought them luck. There are so many animals on the mountain, although it is not as delicious as goat meat, he can also satisfy his stomach, right?

But before he could express his kindness, the kneeling goat kicked his paws, writhed violently on the ground, rolled his eyes upwards, squealed, and was about to die. Mampia and his group were so scared that they retreated in a panic and the scene that happened at the same time in front of them was really bizarre. A shotgun blast went off and just hit a stone, the stone shattered and the sparks all proved the goat was unharmed.

“This… Could there be… a devil here?” A soldier younger than Mampia hid in a corner, his legs dangling in fear.

“Even if… There is a devil, and he has to get out of here, this… this place belongs to us.” Mampia got scared and his upper and lower front teeth kept fighting.

They hid behind the corner and watched the goat twitch for a while, black blood flowed from the corners of its mouth, motionless, and did not even have the rise and fall of the chest. Someone took courage and threw a stone at it. The goat didn’t respond at all, but they suddenly heard a faint noise in their ears, and then a strange giant snake with a triangular-shaped flat head larger than an egg poked its head out from behind the goat. His pupils seemed to be greener than the green gemstones embedded in the stone, making the scalp numb and glowing in an instant, and the hairs were standing up all over his body.

“What?”

Mampia’s brain was instantly blank, and the boundless fear subconsciously turned into a self-help act of powerfully pulling the trigger. As the muzzle of the weapon spat, the terrifying giant snake leaped up in an instant, launching a deadly attack on its throat.

“Bang~”

Another gunshot and the head of the giant snake, which was three meters long, entrenched in the pile of green ore, unfortunately, burst into the air. The 7.62mm bullet which can kill the elephant easily tore off its head, and at the same time, it also penetrated the green mineral heap on the back stone wall. As the green ore was ground into a powder, some of it turned into hazy white smoke. The green serpent was killed by chance, and Mampia had no time to rejoice.

Suddenly, Mampia felt an indescribable strange smell in his nose, followed by strong nausea in his stomach.
