Chapter 568: Chapter 249: Rainforest Scenery_2

Today, Tatalo was still in charge of leading the team, except that there were two more guards accompanying us.

Seeing the unfamiliar young natives, Lin Yang curiously looked towards Sun Zheng, "I remember we didn’t increase the number of guards; what’s the deal with these two locals?"

Sun Zheng replied, "These two are Tatalo’s nephews. They are very grateful to you for helping them take revenge and for giving the Big Catfish to their tribe. Now that they heard you’re preparing to go sightseeing in the river valley, they volunteered to be free guards!"

Having been here for so long without encountering any danger, and now with two more guards, our sense of security was even stronger.

The previously hired guards were using semi-automatic weapons, while these two guys carried shotguns. With their lean figures and simple local attire, they looked very spirited.

Since we had plenty of hands on deck, the supplies for sightseeing were distributed among these locals to help carry, and Lin Yang and Yue’er just symbolically prepared a small bag with some personal items, water, and biscuits, etc.

Our group of eight people divided into two boats, departed from the small dock, and headed downstream along the waterway tributaries towards the river valley.

As the canoes moved from the tributary to the main course of the river, the vista opened up, and Lin Yang launched the drone, connecting to the live-streaming room.

He also casually changed the name of the live-streaming room to "Amazon River Valley Rainforest Sightseeing."

"Hello, front-row sofa."

"Is the host not fishing today? Switched to rainforest sightseeing?"

"What happened to the Big Catfish from the other evening? Did you slaughter it, or what?"

Lin Yang greeted the camera, "Good morning, everyone. As you can see from the name of the live-streaming room, we are not fishing today. We are planning to go downriver from the camp to the river valley to see it. It’s said to be a paradise for birds, and also there are monkeys whose sounds we’ve heard but haven’t seen yet.

As for the Big Catfish I caught the other night, I gave it to the people of the tribe. They butchered it and shared it, but the footage was too bloody, so I didn’t upload the video. If CCTV approves it after I return home, it may appear in a documentary."

"Watching monkeys? I heard there are a lot of monkeys in the Amazon Rainforest. Many indigenous groups like to catch monkeys to eat them, like roasted monkey, a local delicacy!"

"If conditions permit, try some monkey brains as well. Supposedly, they’re real delicacies."

"Man, that’s a bit much, brother upstairs. Monkeys are so cute; how can you eat monkeys!"

Regarding the viewers’ chatter about eating monkey brains, Lin Yang shook his head, "Let’s not eat monkey brains, with so many delicacies around, why insist on that thing.

We’ve brought enough food supplies this time, look, they’re all on the boat behind us. The Tatalo Village Chief, to show his gratitude, has provided two local people as free guards."

As he spoke, the camera gave a few close-ups of the two guys carrying shotguns behind them.

"Damn, bro, is that a shotgun?"

"That’s good, aside from being a bit darker, it feels very secure."

"I heard there are lots of parrots in the rainforest, can we see any today?"

Just as the viewers in the live-streaming room mentioned parrots, Lin Yang’s gaze casually swept across a large tree by the riverbank and happened to see a parrot perched motionless on a branch.

The next second, he signaled everyone to be quiet with a gesture, and with the drone’s camera, gave a close-up of the Macaw on the tree.

This was a very beautiful large Macaw, with fiery red plumage on its head and back, and the secondary feathers of its wings were teal, while the primary feathers shone a dazzling blue. With white cheeks and red tail, it looked extremely beautiful.

Regarding Macaws, Lin Yang had seen quite a few, having visited zoos or bird markets, among others.

But in terms of poise and vitality, there was a very noticeable difference between the individuals he had seen before and the wild one from the rainforest he was seeing today.

The Macaw in the camera, with a slightly lazy demeanor, had fluffy feathers under its neck, but its small eyes were very expressive.

From its body movements, Lin Yang was sure that this lovely creature had noticed everyone and was silently perching on the tree branch, observing the group.

It’s said that the intelligence of large parrots is very high, equivalent to that of a seven- or eight-year-old child. Lin Yang didn’t know whether what was said on the internet was true or not.

But judging by its current behavior, it seemed to have a smidgen of the expressions typical of intelligent creatures, unlike other birds, which would flee in fear upon encountering strangers.

"Damn! Red and Green Macaw, one of these is worth tens of thousands domestically."

"It really is a Red and Green Macaw, I know a friend who trades these."

"So beautiful, wild ones just look better than the farmed ones!"

With the Macaw appearing on camera like this, the viewers who were previously clamoring about eating monkey brains went silent, their attention captured by the beautiful bird.

Yue’er took out her phone and pressed the shutter button towards the Macaw.

With a not-so-loud click of the shutter, the previously lazy Macaw perched on the branch suddenly reflexively tucked its neck, and its feathered crest bristled.

This scene was captured live by the drone and broadcasted into the live-streaming room.

"Whoa, it got all ruffled just from taking a picture, has this parrot had a bad experience with people before?"

"Can anyone explain what’s going on? Is the Macaw angry? Was it startled by the shutter sound, or did the flash affect it?"

Lin Yang glanced at the comments and then turned to look at the Macaw, which had gone from lazy to tense, and laughed as he explained to everyone, "I guess this big guy must have had some contact with humans and possibly had a bad experience; otherwise, it wouldn’t be this nervous."
