Even with the deceleration of the parachute, the cabin was still falling at a relatively fast speed.
If this continued…
When the cabin fell into the river, given the current’s velocity, I was afraid I would be plummeting from this enormous waterfall in just a few seconds.
The chance of survival seemed frighteningly close to zero!
No, I had to save myself.
Looking down inside the cargo cabin, in addition to my own seat, there was a control panel in front of me.
I had only ever operated a mecha, and the control board of the small carrier in front of me was completely different from a mecha’s interior.
There was no complex control panel, but the other buttons left me baffled.
The instrument panel and controls in front of me blinked incessantly, the data continuously correcting itself.
This was the automatic piloting system!
I couldn’t just press anything now, pressing the wrong button might make things even worse.
What’s that red button?
Eject?
The river was now only a few dozen meters away from my feet.
There was no time; eject!
Mu Fan strapped two backpacks over one arm, then slammed the red button hard.
Bang!
A tremendous force came from behind, catapulting me out powerfully.
The carrier had fallen to less than ten meters above the water’s surface.
As Mu Fan ejected and looked down from the cabin, I realized just how much wider and more rapid the river was than I had imagined.
My left arm couldn’t bear any strain, and I couldn’t control the direction of the ejection; tragically, I realized I was smashing towards a thick tree trunk that jutted outwards, broken.
Twisting my body in mid-air, I used the two backpacks on my right side as a cushion and slammed heavily into the tree trunk.
After crashing through more than a dozen diagonal branches, Mu Fan finally fell to the ground.
“Huh,” with lingering fear, I looked up; the dense canopy effectively shielded the light from the sky, and the view suddenly dimmed.
The roaring rush of the river still sounded in my ears, the carrier had splashed into the water creating a few waves before disappearing.
The forest here differed from the primitive forest I had entered before; this was clearly a rainforest area, stepping unevenly on the slippery moss, Mu Fan found a relatively flat rock to lean against; I had to unwrap this so-called mysterious package.
Hoping my choice was correct; I prayed silently and opened the black backpack.
A metal box?
Pulling out the large metal box, Mu Fan nervously pressed the latch to open it.
“Two bottles of emergency spray, three standard A-grade antibacterial medicines, one bottle of special hemostatic medicine, and one syringe of Cell Base Liquid Growth Agent!”
Fantastic!
Seeing these medicines, Mu Fan’s anxious heart finally settled; my sense of smell had not been wrong.
Taking off my jacket, the bloody and blurred left arm was now showing some fresh pink flesh, but it was far from enough!
I swallowed a standard antibacterial medicine, then lifted the syringe, glinting coldly, and plunged it into my left arm.
Hiss!
The effect of the Cell Base Liquid Growth Agent was so aggressive; my entire left arm burned with pain, the veins felt like they were on fire, a flame that couldn’t erupt.
Five minutes later, the burning sensation gradually subsided, and now my left arm had formed a thick layer of scab, trying to move my fingers.
I could apply a slight force.
Effective!
I had gambled correctly; the corners of Mu Fan’s mouth stretched into a smile.
Opening the combat pack again, I changed out of my clothes.
A minute later, a young man in a yellow-green camouflage combat uniform appeared.
The clothes on his body, although somewhat heavy, had non-slip soles and a design that was waterproof and breathable, which surprisingly made him feel quite comfortable.
The electronic map and the remaining medicines were all placed by Mu Fan into his combat backpack, as for the backpack from which items had already been taken, it was directly abandoned by Mu Fan.
He weighed the dagger in his hand, which was bright enough to serve as a mirror, and looked up at the surrounding jungle.
With this dagger, it would be enough!
Suddenly, the hair on his back stood on end—a sign of danger!
Crouching on the rock, Mu Fan swiftly rolled on the spot with his right hand on the ground.
A loud snap came from the spot where he had just been, followed by a pungent smell.
He quickly turned around and took a closer look.
It was a giant tree-colored python at least twenty meters long!
Its body, coiled down from the vines, was as thick as a water barrel, and now its lantern-sized eyes were fixed on Mu Fan, with its crimson forked tongue flickering in and out, saliva dripping from the open mouth over its two sharp fangs.
Sss, the saliva eroded the rock surface, creating black pits.
It was poisonous!
If a scholar specialized in reptiles saw it, they would probably exclaim immediately—it was a Golden Ring Dead Wood Poison Python!
The distinctive golden stripes on its neck confirmed that this python was at least fifty years old.
This creature’s constriction force could reach more than ten tons, and if its venom touched the bloodstream, it would trigger a unique toxic reaction, attacking the nervous system and then corroding the entire body.
It could be said that with any carelessness, one might not even find their remains.
Such a fierce beast, in the Federation Encyclopedia, had a unified title—A-grade Fierce Beast.
Danger level: Highly Dangerous!
Above that were the S-grade Fierce Beasts, extremely dangerous, and the SS-grade Fierce Beasts, Disaster Level dangerous.
If related to humans, without relying on weapons, people below the level twenty physique would likely be instantly killed!
Mu Fan was completely unaware of all this, but his sense of danger told him that the creature in front of him was much more dangerous than he had imagined…
With only the dagger in his hand, he gently lifted his right hand, casting off his backpack.
He crouched, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Across from him, the giant python’s foul breath intensified, its yellow pupils fixated on Mu Fan, as its body began to slowly move and coil around.
In the jungle, the instant the young man had landed, he encountered such a fierce beast.
Without mecha, firearms, or Black, this place was disconnected from technology.
All that was left was the instinct to survive and the power to live on!
…
The examinee with a brown braid landed on a soft humus layer via the ejector transport, opening the capsule after landing and looked curiously around.
The eerily quiet surroundings and the occasional sound of birds flitting through the canopy left the examinee stunned for a moment, before bursting into laughter.
“Looks like my luck isn’t bad, tsk tsk, this place seems very safe.
Let’s get my gear on first.”
“This time I can finally show off my speed advantage, watch me leave you all behind!”
The examinee reached for his combat pack, ready to open it.
Thud!
A metal crossbow arrow suddenly pierced his body, shooting out from his chest and plunging into the ground.
A spray of blood shot out.
Suddenly, the examinee’s throat choked up, and he was unable to make a sound; his face turned a ghastly shade of purple, blood foaming at the mouth.
His eyes lost their light, and he collapsed to the ground without a sound.
This young man, bouncing with life just a few minutes ago, had perished the moment he stepped out of the transport in this jungle.
A shadow jumped down from a tree, walked over, stepped over the stiffened body, and then picked up the unopened “mysterious backpack”.
The shadow quietly observed the body on the ground, “Since there’s no limitation…
killing makes it interesting.”
Then, with a few rapid leaps, he disappeared from the area.
But he didn’t notice at all that, minutes later, a patch of black eerily appeared under the deceased young man and a pair of dark black feet emerged beside it…
