Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 323 Pre-Battle Leisure
As the ferry ventured deeper into the rainforest, a torrential downpour struck.

In the pouring rain, the characters 'rescue' the snake catcher Paul, only to step into the trap he has woven.

Without reincarnation, the documentary film crew would suffer heavy casualties due to the machinations of the unscrupulous snake catchers.

"The main villain in this story is just an ordinary person." After scanning carefully for a moment, Xiangzi commented, "If he encountered the two snakes we met before, he would only become the python's dessert."

"The real villain in this horror movie is the snake; the snake catcher is just a supporting character." Xu Feng lay leisurely on a beach chair, admiring the tropical rainforest.

Tifa manipulates the rain falling from the sky, preventing it from landing on her owner.

Bing'er played elfin music, and the accompaniment added a touch of charm to the surrounding scenery.

"Captain, please be serious for once. We're sailing on the body of a monster."

Xiangzi couldn't help but grind his teeth. How could this look like someone struggling to the death in the cycle of reincarnation?
Well, it's these weaklings who are struggling desperately.

“There’s nothing we can do about it. The main god requires us to stay close to the characters in the story.” Xu Feng said helplessly, “The 1,000-meter distance restriction will probably only disappear when we reach the settlement of the natives.”

"Can we go by land?" Xiangzi asked. "Sailing on the Amazon River gives me a very uncomfortable feeling, as if... we are sending ourselves into the mouth of a monster."

The Amazon rainforest is full of trees and there are no proper roads.

The characters in the story cannot enter the indigenous tribe by land, but the reincarnators are strong enough to carve out a road even if there are dozens of mountains in front of them. Theoretically, they do not necessarily have to take a boat.

Xu Feng did not reply, but only sent her a satellite map.

The location of the destination is marked above.

Xiangzi glanced at it and stopped mentioning land routes. In this season, there are no purely land routes in the Amazon River basin!
“That strange feeling is definitely not an illusion, Captain. Have you discovered anything?” Xiangzi jumped onto Xu Feng’s lap and grabbed his hand, asking eagerly.

She knew that Xu Feng's observational skills far surpassed those of the other members of the Donghai team.

The same drop of water is just an ordinary drop of water to a newcomer; but an extraordinary person like her can detect whether it contains special energy or what impurities it contains; Xu Feng can observe even more information; this kind of information cannot be compensated for by a clever mind alone.

If Xu Feng hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have realized that the massive Amazon River was part of the monster.

"There have indeed been discoveries, but they're not entirely bad news," Xu Feng replied with a smile.

It is difficult to observe the special features of this world from the material level alone.

The information that truly made him realize the monsters he was about to face in this cycle of reincarnation was from another dimension, just like the dimension where 'Paradise Paradise' is currently located.

After combining the characteristics of that dimension with the appearance of the real world, Xu Feng understood the strength of this monster and some of its abilities.

"Going up the Amazon River is a ritual, and accepting this ritual is the key to your survival. Apart from that, I cannot guarantee that I will protect you all intact in the aftermath of the battle... As for the side effects of this ritual, let the Supreme God fix it once."

Xiangzi bit her lip. Was it because she was too weak again?
She sighed and asked, "Are we going to change the plot now?"

Simply changing the plot of a movie is quite easy.

Exposing the snake catcher's plot would save most of the film crew; even without revealing the plot, demonstrating a little power would keep the snake catcher in check. "Changing it or not doesn't make much difference," Xu Feng said casually. "The key to this world is near the end of the movie, during the documentary filming stage that the movie only briefly mentions... That's when the enemy will appear."

"Participating in the storyline should allow you to encounter a few small snakes, giving you a chance to obtain some reward points, but considering the overall strength of our team, the reward points offered by the main god will not be too many."

After a brief moment of thought, Xiangzi decided to 'give up'.

The amount of reward points given by those 'little snakes' is not important; what matters is that she can glean some information about the final boss from the 'little snakes' and deduce some of the monster's weaknesses.

Night falls.

The ferry was moored near a jungle, and the characters in the story were preparing material for a documentary, while the reincarnators also started to take action.

Yoichi Sato is teaching Takahito Matsuoka fighting techniques, informing him of the weaknesses of snakes.

This soon-to-be veteran knew that the young rookie in front of him had gained the captain's approval and was very likely to become his teammate, so teaching him at this time was also a kind of investment.

The Japanese police officer among the new recruits approached the two and asked them questions from time to time.

He tried his best to fit into their circle, but he could never break through that invisible barrier.

The newcomer vaguely understood that the key to integrating with the veterans lay in the Chinese man surrounded by a group of stunningly beautiful women, but when he actually approached the Chinese man, he didn't know what to say.

Admitting fault? Begging for forgiveness?
But I still feel a little resentful! I clearly... didn't do anything wrong!
The other three female newcomers also wanted to get close to Xu Feng, attempting to use their beauty to integrate into the circle of veterans.

But just as they began to have their own little schemes and planned to seduce that important figure, they noticed that the senior priest dressed as a shrine maiden was doing the very things they had planned to do... This was clearly a warning!

The three of them glared resentfully at the priestess, who seemed to radiate a dazzling light, and then looked at themselves in the mirror.

I silently gave up the idea.

When the near-senior level user, Nan Yelin, noticed the three people's little actions, she could only laugh. How dare these three good-for-nothings compete with those two seniors?
Even she is quite insecure...

She glanced silently at the 'little girl' in the room. Unlike the witch who merely warned the newcomers, this true second-in-command of the group was far more ruthless! In the world of *The Lord of the Rings*, this senior figure wasn't killing countless monsters for the newcomers' benefit…

Nan Yelin had already noticed that most of the time, the captain was aloof and didn't care much about anything... To be precise, the captain focused her attention on a higher realm, on a target that they could not reach at all. The vast majority of things within the team were handled by this mental power controller. Under such circumstances, becoming her love rival was tantamount to courting death!
At least, she, an ordinary college student, dared not provoke this senior.

Inside the room, Xiangzi placed her palm on the True Knowledge Crystal and carefully observed the surrounding jungle.

"There are so many giant pythons in the rainforest... These pythons shouldn't be formed from the river; they're real creatures. Killing them might give us reward points, but most of them are too far away from us!"

She skipped over those targets that were too far away and soon found a suitable prey near the rest stop:

“Nan Yelin, I’ve located a giant python. It’s hunting and will pass by us in about two minutes, at a distance of about 1,800 meters. At that distance, you should be able to stay within 1000 meters of the heroine and shoot it from a distance.”

Xiangzi instructed, "Take it down. High-powered weapons are permitted!"

"Don't worry about the characters in the story during the fight; they'll treat everything that happened tonight as an illusion."
