My Breathtaking CEO Wife Novel - Chapter 417
Chapter 417: Danger
The four of them started to climb the mountain when they reached the foot of the mountain. At first, the road was relatively easy to walk on, and the slope was acceptable. However, after two hours of walking, they encountered a lot of trouble.
For example, there was no path in front of them, so they had to climb over with ropes. Fortunately, Li Tian had thought of this in advance, so the four of them had brought their own tools. After climbing for more than four hours, the four of them were a little tired. Li Tian stopped and found a place to rest.
He had to eat and replenish his energy. He would have to climb for another three hours before he could rest.
“Did you guys notice? although the grass is very deep and the trees are very tall, I’ve been walking for so long, but I haven’t seen a single bird.”
Tyrant said while he was resting.
The few of them directly climbed the highest peak. It was a few thousand meters high and there were no stone stairs. Their climbing speed was definitely quite slow. It would probably take one or two days.
However, other than the occasional animals he saw in the beginning, he had not seen any other animals since he climbed the cliff. “I noticed it a long time ago. Do I need you to say that?”
The ghost king said in an unpleasant tone.
“If you know, why aren’t you telling me?”
This situation was definitely not normal. As long as it was a forest, it was inevitable for some birds and animals to live in it. It might be difficult to see ground animals because they knew how to hide. They could sense movement from far away and avoid it in advance. However, the birds ‘alertness was very limited. Even if a human was within a hundred meters, they might not be alarmed.
For the past two hours, he had not seen a single bird. This could explain many things.
“Brat, what’s the altitude we’re at now?”
Li Tian asked.
Little joker took out a device and fiddled with it for a while before saying,”” 1300 meters.”
1,300 meters was already a very high altitude. Of course, Li Tian and the others had only just started climbing the 6000-meter mountain.
“That’s not right. It’s only 1300 meters. There should still be many birds that can survive up there, right?”
Tyrant said again.
“Yes, 1300 meters above sea level is acceptable for most birds, and many birds like this height very much. So no matter what, this place shouldn’t be so quiet.”
After Li Tian finished speaking, the four of them fell silent.
They knew what this meant. So far, there were only two possibilities.
The first possibility was that there was someone nearby who had just passed through this area. The birds were scared away and would not come back for the time being.
However, Li Tian didn’t notice any traces of people passing by. Most importantly, there wasn’t even a single bug in the grass. Even if someone had passed by, they wouldn’t be able to scare the bugs away. It was very abnormal for there to be no insects living in such a deep grass.
Hence, Li Tian ruled out such a possibility. Although it was possible, the probability was extremely low.
Then, there was only the second possibility left.
In this area, there lived a very powerful existence. It was so powerful that it had no natural enemies, and all living things were its food.
This was the law of the jungle. Li Tian had encountered a Jaguar and a sabre- toothed tiger before. These were extremely domineering creatures. They would not allow any other animals to live within a few hundred meters, not even birds.
It was obvious that they had encountered the law of the jungle, and it was extraordinarily powerful. There was not a single insect on the ground.
The four of them were even trying their best to hold their breath, holding their breath.
The surroundings were very quiet, but this silence only lasted for less than a minute.
“Sha Sha …”
It was as if something was pushing the soil away.
The nerves of the four of them instantly tensed up at this moment.
A few seconds later, the four of them discovered something about ten meters away from them.
“Chameleons!”
Li Tian shouted, and the four of them immediately stood up and confronted the chameleon.
Why did he use the word ‘head’ instead of ‘only’? it was because the chameleon was too big, about the size of a piglet, and looked to be at least 40 to 50 pounds.
An ordinary chameleon was less than half a kilogram in size, not even a cat ‘s. However, this chameleon was beyond Li Tian’s knowledge.
Even a chameleon that weighed less than a pound could exert a strength of about ten pounds with its tongue. How strong was this chameleon?
That’s right, the chameleon’s main attack was its tongue. It could stretch out at a very fast speed and Roll Food into its mouth. Its suction was particularly strong because the chameleon’s tongue was very sticky. It could also roll up and form a great friction.
Once caught by the chameleon’s tongue, there was almost no hope of escape. Li Tian’s body was so heavy that such a huge chameleon could directly suck him in.
A normal chameleon’s tongue was about 50 centimeters long. Li Tian wasn’t sure, but this chameleon’s tongue was probably within its attack range of two to three meters.
It was obvious that the chameleon had found its food. It made a strange sound and slowly crawled toward Li Tian and the others.
The four of them held daggers in their hands, but they didn’t dare to act rashly.
“How fast can its tongue be?” ” 100 meters per second.”
The monk replied.
They were now about seven to eight meters away from the chameleon. If they were within the chameleon’s attack range, it would only take 0.02 seconds for the chameleon to stretch out its tongue and wrap around a person.
Even Li Tian wouldn’t be able to react in such a short time.
Li Tian held the dagger tightly, aimed it at the chameleon’s eye, and threw it.
At this moment, the chameleon didn’t have the ability to attack, so it was the best time for Li Tian to counterattack.
Clang Clang
The chameleon closed its eyes and blocked Li Tian’s dagger with its eyelids.
Li Tian knew his own strength very well. Although he couldn’t use his arm to its full potential, the force of the dagger’s blade was definitely no less than a bullet ‘s.
Even so, it did not Pierce the chameleon’s body. How hard was its skin?
Li Tian’s actions seemed to have angered the chameleon. It immediately waved its four limbs, threw away the deep soil, and rushed towards Li Tian and the others.
Li Tian had never thought that his first enemy would be such a strange creature. He was completely unprepared.
Danger was imminent!
