Hello?

Hello?

Who fired the gun?

Was it you?

Come on!

You blockhead!

So you fired the gun!

You killed another one.

I told you not to act rashly!

Don't act rashly, alright?

You just wouldn't listen!

How can I knock some sense into you?

Hello?

Are you deaf?

Why don't you talk?

Hello?

Hello?

Is this thing broken again?

Oh boy!

I told you to buy some better ones.

You just wouldn't listen!

What is this?

Is it a toy?

I heard you.

It went mad

and was out of control.

I had to shoot it.

Plus, no one can hear it around here.

Oh, so you actually heard me.

Be careful when removing the skin.

Start from the right hind leg,

so that you can disperse the force.

You must keep the skin intact!

Alright.

Just cut it out!

What?

You blockhead!

You're such a blockhead!

80,000 yuan for a live one.

3,000 yuan for a dead one.

If I didn’t shoot it,

I wouldn't get a penny.

It’s so disgusting!

Had it not been for the money,

I wouldn’t have done such a job!

Let’s hurry up.

Those karst caves extend in all directions.

We’re probably in the hinterland of Shennongjia.

If we don't leave now,

we won’t make it out of here.

Alright. Alright.

Brother,

have you heard that there might be wild men?

Yes.

Then,

what do you think they look like?

They’re 20-30 meters tall.

They’d beat their chests when they’re mad.

Stop bluffing.

Those are scenes in the movies.

I’m wondering if there are other beasts here

besides the wild men.

Are you scared?

You're not?

What is this?

This is a gun.

They’re the ones that should be scared.

We're at the top of the food chain.

Oh.

Let’s go.

Let’s wait for them in the car.

Hey!

Brother!

Wait!

Wait!

Ah!

Brother, did you hear anything?

Stop being so suspicious!

Hurry and get Ma here.

OK. OK.

Ma? Ma?

Do you hear me?

I told you to buy some better ones.

Forget it.

Get in the car.

Let’s go look for him.

Eh?

Bother, come check this!

There is a huge footprint here.

Are there really wild men?

Stop bullshitting!

Pack the things and get in the car.

Or I’ll leave and you can be a wild man here.

It must be a wild man’s footprint.

Brother,

just come take a look.

I won’t.

I’ll shoot you

if you don’t get in the car.

Oh, it’s so cold.

Alright.

I’ll get in the car.

Let's go.

Alas!

Veteran driver,

please take me to Kunming.

Veteran driver,

please take me to the provincial capital.

Aye! Hey!

Death Worm

Wow!

Hello, Mr. Bao.

Hello.

You're so early.

Please come in.

OK.

This way, please.

Mr. Deng has been waiting for you.

He can’t wait to see you.

I'll take you to him now.

Thank you.

Wow, it’s so beautiful here.

These are Mr. Deng's collections.

Mr. Deng loved to play golf

before he fell ill.

He cherishes these items.

He’s been playing golf for a lifetime.

This is?

Mr. Deng wants to hire you

to find something for him.

You want me to go to this place?

The Shennongjia area.

What we’ll be looking for

is the wild men in that area.

We've mapped the undeveloped area

in the hinterland of the Shennongjia area

by using commercial satellites.

Now this location you see

is the place where we're going.

You may encounter many dangers

in those restricted areas of Shennongjia.

[Soliciting public opinions for collection and identification]

Biogas,

active volcanoes,

[Scientific expedition for the wild men after thirty years]

minefield left during the Sino-Japanese War,

and extremely poisonous creatures.

What’s more,

[Confirmed by experts: traces of the wild men found in the Shennongjia area]

we've also detected

nuclear radiation that occurs occasionally.

[Film: possibly the wild men appeared]

We hope

you can be mentally prepared.

What about our safety?

Rest assured.

We’ll send the best security guards

to keep everyone safe.

I think

one of your friends

can probably help you.

Mr. Bao,

only you can find him.

I’m sure you won’t let me down.

Really?

You’re an extraordinary adventurer,

yet you say it’s too dangerous to go there?

Don’t think it’s an easy trip.

You don’t know what’s there for you.

Are you my best buddy?

Look.

The elder one

will go to school next year.

The other one

will be born in two months.

I didn’t do well back in school.

And I don't earn as much money as you do.

But,

I’ve always wanted to

give them a better life.

I chose a house in a school district.

When I save enough money,

I’ll move my family there,

and leave this old house which we now have to cram into.

In the future, my kids will be able to

study with those excellent kids.

Do you still remember

those great days when we

carried out those outdoor rescues together?

But this could be

the most dangerous trip in your life.

I know.

It also could be the best trip.

Alright.

I’ve said everything.

You're the only friend I can think of

to get everyone out

if we run into trouble.

Our plane

will leave tomorrow morning.

I'll go back and pack up.

I hope I can see you tomorrow.

Yo!

You’re finally here.

I’m the captain

of the security team for this operation.

Call me Captain Tu.

Hello.

Captain Tu.

I’m not really an expert.

It’s just a job.

Baozi has told me

the details about the operation.

Let's hurry up.

Hurry up.

What?

You don’t like others taking photos of you?

Nice to meet you.

My name is Chen Jingyi.

I’m an animal behaviorist.

Are you saying

you’re studying my behavior?

Humans are also animals.

Did I say anything wrong?

Shanhe,

let me introduce to you.

Our team members include

leading stem cell expert

Professor Ye,

and anesthesiologist expert Zhao Na.

Don't call me Zhao Na.

Call me Nana.

We're not going for a walk in the garden.

The primeval forest can be very dangerous.

I hope everyone can follow

my arrangements during the operation.

These five guys behind me

are our security guards.

Those who died in Lop Nor and Mount Everest

were all overconfident.

Guys,

what are you talking about?

Now you know each other, right?

With you and me,

it’ll be a guaranteed success.

The most important thing

is to keep your guard up.

Everyone, pack your things.

Let's get going.

Let's go.

I hope

you can get the idea

of the priority of his operation.

I came

to make sure you don’t get lost in the jungle,

and can come back smoothly.

For me,

my priority is to keep you safe,

not finding the wild men.

According to the information available,

the only way to get in

is to go through this cave.

Let's go.

Hurry.

[It's 30 degrees north latitude.]

[The angle between the horizontal projection]

[of the magnetic field and true north is huge.]

[Magnetic declination will be caused.]

[And magnetic disturbances will occur.]

[It’s like what happens in the Bermuda Triangle.]

[Aircrafts and ships tend to malfunction there.]

[Communication tools don’t work well here.]

[So it provides many primitive creatures]

[with a natural protective barrier,]

[maintaining the diversity of the species here.]

Buddy, this way.

Be careful.

Really?

You’re so old-fashioned!

Who still uses a torch nowadays?

Fire can serve as

more than a light source.

Professor,

be careful.

Thank you.

Everyone, don't move!

What are these?

What just flew past?

What are they?

They're bats!

Don't panic.

Don't move.

What’s going on?

So gross!

What are they?

Ah!

Everyone, get down!

Don't shoot!

Don't waste the anesthetic projectiles!

Don't shoot!

Don't come over!

These are vampire bats.

Everyone, stay down.

Go away!

Go away!

Help me!

Go away!

Go away!

Go away!

Is everyone okay?

These are vampire bats.

We disturbed them.

Fortunately, they're afraid of fire.

Are you alright?

-Let's leave quickly. -He was hurt.

Nana.

Professor,

should we give him an adrenaline injection?

Are you alright?

I’m fine.

The wound area is small.

He’s possibly having convulsions

because of the shock just now.

These bats

are not ordinary bats.

It’s very possible that

they’ve been infected with

viruses that can cause rabies or other diseases.

Maybe you can

give him an injection.

Alright. Let's go.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Remember,

this is just the beginning.

Let's go.

Wait.

The ecological environment here is well-preserved.

I’m sure we’ll find something.

We finally came out!

If we can find the wild men

and extract enough hematopoietic stem cells,

I’m sure all the malignant hematologic diseases

will be effectively treated.

Hurry up.

-Let's go. -Go.

Let's go.

Oh!

Guys, move faster!

Hurry up!

It’s getting dark.

I’m so tired.

I can’t walk any more.

-You! -Survival Master,

not everyone is

as energetic as you are.

Let’s take a break, alright?

Alright.

Let's rest for five minutes.

Professor,

where are you going?

I’m old. My kidney doesn't function well.

I want to take a leak.

You go with him.

Protect the professor.

Wow!

Holy cow!

What...

What is this?

Is this real?

Wow!

What animal is this?

-It's so huge! -It's a wild man.

This really is a footprint.

Really?

Is it really a wild man?

I don't think it’s made by some people

to scare us.

It looks real.

Then,

there is only one possibility.

There are indeed

wild men in this area.

-Gosh! -What?

If they're really that big,

we’ll get eaten by them.

If this is a wild man's footprint,

it means

we’ve already entered their territory.

Wild men?

Interesting.

Alright. This is the place.

Oh.

You may go somewhere else.

We’re men.

Are you shy?

Sorry.

I want to take a dump,

alright?

But Captain Tu ordered us to...

Right.

He ordered us to protect you.

Um, how about this?

I’ll keep the music playing.

If you can hear the music,

you’ll know I’m fine.

Is that okay?

-Okay. Okay. -Thank you.

Go far away.

Can you hear it?

Don't worry.

[Tuberose]

That old guy!

So fastidious!

Just let him be.

Right.

Let him be.

Let's go smoke.

Give me one.

Did you notice

that anesthesiologist?

You mean that chick Nana?

Oh man, she’s so cute.

These are all new species.

So beautiful.

If she were the one that comes here,

we wouldn’t go so far away,

right?

You're so dirty!

But now since you mention it,

I actually feel the same way, too.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Someone!

Help me! Help me!

Don't!

Help!

I’ll slice you up!

I’ll slice you up!

I’ll slice you up!

Check what happened!

Professor!

Professor!

Professor!

-Professor. -What happened?

-Professor. -What exactly happened?

Professor, are you okay?

What happened to him?

Calm down.

Take a deep breath.

Is it the wild men?

What the hell is it?

Wild men?

It’s like a dragon.

Did you see it clearly?

No.

Like a kind of arthropods.

Ah!

Calm down!

Where are the other two people?

Professor, what happened?

What is he doing?

Professor?

They were all dead.

So scary.

It’s tall.

It’s as tall as two or three stories.

It’s so tall.

A monster?

No.

It’s a vertebrate,

or arthropod.

As tall as

two stories.

Professor!

Jingyi.

Jingyi, don’t go there!

Professor!

-Professor! -Back off.

Don’t go there.

Let’s go!

-Back off! -Come on!

I don’t want to die.

I don’t want to die.

We’ve lost three men already.

Only one aggressive strange creature

has costed us greatly.

There are probably more than one

such creatures in the forest.

If we keep going further,

there are unpredictable dangers

ahead waiting for us.

So,

now we must go back.

We must go ahead as planned.

We are going to

the hinterland of the Shennongjia area.

You must listen to me.

I’m telling you.

I won’t let you

risk our lives.

I don’t care what you think.

I must complete the task as planned.

Are you mad?

We’re gonna die if we keep going.

I know.

I got the guns.

You must listen to me.

Shoot then!

Do you want us to die with you?

Calm down.

What do you want?

I got only one goal,

which is the wild men of Shendongjia area.

What’s your choice,

Survival Master?

Okay.

I promise you,

on one condition.

Don’t point the gun at us anymore!

The fewer we become,

the more danger we have.

Come on.

Hurry up

and take out

all your weapons and knives

for self-defense.

Let’s get out of here

before finding a solution.

There is a building ahead.

Let’s go have a look.

It may be a wasted warehouse

of some private mine.

It’s safer inside.

It looks like it has been abandoned for many years.

Anyway,

never mind that.

Let’s go to check the inside.

Let’s go.

Go.

We will take a rest here tonight.

Baozi.

Go light the fire outside.

Oh, bugs are afraid of fire.

I get it.

Hey, I’m going with you.

Nothing to be scared of since we have weapons.

Come on.

Let’s go out and check.

I will chop it up if it comes out.

When I started exploring wildness,

I was very timid.

My master told me that

a cup of hot cocoa

would not only

provide you energy,

but also

give you courage

when you

are full of fear

or in the dark.

So,

every time I take an adventure,

I would take a bottle of cocoa.

Want to try it?

Why did you stop me

from saving the professor?

Why did you stop me?

Trust me.

There was no way to save him.

All we could do was to escape.

For all these years,

the professor had treated me

like his daughter.

I know how you feel.

There was nothing else I can do.

Otherwise, the rest would be in danger.

I feel so useless.

Please don’t think that way.

You need to pull yourself together,

right?

Drink it.

I’m sorry

for what I did to you.

It’s alright.

I don’t mind it.

Take a rest after drinking it.

By the way,

have you taken any mobile chargers?

Yes.

Give it to me.

Why do you want it?

I’m gonna renovate it.

I hope this works.

You are so timid.

Coward, I’m taking a pee.

You scared the hell out of me.

What is it?

Hey.

What’s going on?

What the hell…

You want to scare me?

Ah!

Ah!

Another two men died.

Holy crap.

Another two men got killed.

I’m killing you.

Come out.

Come out!

You are trapped!

Captain Tu!

Let’s go.

Come out!

Come out!

Come out!

Come out!

Come out!

My bullets are running out.

Me too.

Hey!

Over here!

Jingyi.

The charger!

Shanhe.

Is everyone okay?

-How about you? -Now you see the power of batteries.

Why did it blow up?

Lithium batteries are prohibited on plane, right?

Well.

Let me tell you the reason.

It’s because

when the lithium battery is pierced…

Follow up.

Are we

now safe?

It blew up just now.

We should be careful.

Look at the dirt on me.

What’s wrong?

Don’t get too close to the water.

Okay.

I will just wash my hands very quickly.

Bugs are land creatures

and they fear water more than us.

If the creatures live in water,

they have to be amphibian.

But I observed that

it has the mouthparts and podomeres exclusive to bugs.

They can’t live in water.

It’s okay.

A false alarm.

Nana!

Nana!

Nana!

It’s a wild man. He comes to save us.

Let’s get out of here.

Hurry up.

Hurry.

It’s my fault that Nana died.

It’s my fault.

Jingyi.

Jingyi. Stop saying that.

It’s all because of you.

If you listened to me,

they wouldn’t have died.

Survival Master,

didn’t I listen to you

and go back?

Anyway, we will die either going forward

or backward.

If we could find the wild men,

he may take us out of here.

Come on.

We wouldn’t have ended up like this

if it had not been for the wild men.

You wouldn’t have been here if you weren’t greedy.

If we find any wild men,

the sacrifice

is not a big deal.

How could you say that?

You are such a bastard.

Just ignore him.

We’d better get out of here quickly

while the monster hasn’t come.

Isn’t this

the way we took when we came?

Why was there a collapse?

If I’m right,

the monster

is intelligent.

It knows we would go the way we came.

The monster is not only full of force,

but also intelligence.

Bloody hell.

We’re dead.

Let’s find if

there are any other exits.

Stop it.

Follow me

if you don’t want to die.

-Who is she? -Who is she?

What should we do?

Don’t get nervous.

Let’s go have a look.

Come on.

Come in here.

I won’t hurt you.

I’ve lived here alone for more than sixty years.

My entire tribe

including my family has been killed.

Those you see here

are what I picked up.

Whose things are those?

Those dead ones.

They came to the hinterland of Shennongjia,

but no one got out alive.

What happened to them?

Killed by

the death worm.

Death worm?

This way.

This is my ancestral shrine.

Here is depicted

the story of Ape King fighting the death worm.

In our tribe there is a legend.

A hundred years ago,

the people of our tribe

lived quite well

on this land.

They worked

from dawn to dust,

unaware of the outside world.

One day,

a foreign scientist named Ida

came here unexpectedly.

Seeing this ragged man who suffered hunger,

the head of our tribe let him stay

and gave him food and a place to sleep.

However, Ida turned to be ungrateful

and did experiments with men and animals in the tribe.

He grew a kind of bacteria in the village.

Soon the villagers found out what he was up to

and tied him up.

To revenge on the tribe,

Ida secretly cultivated a poisonous worm

into the death worm by using the bacteria.

It has no eyes but big ears.

And it plunged the village

into an abyss of misery by using its mouthpiece.

Then, a giant

called Pazhong

appeared in the forest.

The people of tribe believed

he was the savior of the tribe

as arranged by nature.

Afterwards,

Pazhong defeated the death worm

and was worshipped as the Ape King.

Is there no other way

to defeat the death worm?

You must leave here

immediately.

The more you know,

the more dangerous it will be.

No.

None of you shall leave

before we find the wild men.

You would die

if you stay.

If you want to find the wild men,

go find by yourself!

Excuse me.

Please take us out of here.

There is only one way

to get out.

It’s…

I said,

no one

is gonna get out.

Are you mad?

Why did you kill her?

Shanhe.

-Shanhe. -Shanhe.

You have a death wish or something?

You monster.

At this point,

I have nothing to hide.

I signed an agreement with Mr. Deng.

As long as I brought back the wild men,

I will own partial equities of Kangjian Pharmaceuticals.

I think you know

that means lots of money.

You would do the same

if you were me.

You bastard, you have no regard for human life.

Finding the wild men

and getting out alive

is your only choice.

Why don’t work together,

Survival Master?

Here,

this is my plan.

Do you know why

the monster could find us?

Sound.

You want to set a trap by sound?

The three of you,

who will be the bait?

It doesn’t have to be us

if we use sound.

Right.

The cell phone.

You mean

we crank call the monster?

Phone and charger again.

Could it work?

But

this monster

is much bigger than the last one.

Don’t worry.

I found what we need

in the place of the old lady.

Scatter.

You never expected this, did you?

We did it.

I’m gonna skin you.

Captain Tu, come back.

Don’t.

Come back.

Captain Tu.

Come out.

I’m skinning you.

Come out.

Come out!

Why can’t I see you?

Where is it?

Where is the dead body?

Come out!

Come out!

Shush.

I forgot my dagger.

Baozi.

Baozi.

Baozi.

Come back.

Come back.

Come back.

Baozi!

Let’s go!

[Hey man.]

[I’m sorry.]

[Let me deal with it.]

[Three]

[Two ]

[One]

Baozi.

Shanhe.

Shanhe.

Shanhe.

Baozi.

Baozi.

Baozi. Baozi.

Why did you do that?

Why?

Don’t cry.

Someone got to cover others.

Don’t.

Hang on. Hang on.

I will find medicine for you.

Hold on.

Baozi.

I’m dying.

What do you want?

What are you looking for?

From now on,

I

will be absent

from their life.

But

the money in the cards…

Baozi. Baozi.

-Baozi. -Should be enough for going college.

Go ahead.

Bro.

Baozi.

Help them.

Baozi.

Baozi.

-Baozi. -Baozi.

-Baozi. -Baozi.

-Baozi. Baozi. -Baozi.

Baozi.

I’m killing it.

I’m killing it!

Shanhe.

I’m killing it.

I’m killing it.

I must kill it

so that we can get out alive.

Shanhe.

I must kill the monster

so that we can live.

It’s too dangerous.

I can’t lose you.

I have to.

This is our last hope.

I promise you

I will come back alive.

Shanhe.

Shanhe!

Shanhe!

Shanhe!

Shanhe!

Shanhe!

Shanhe!

Shanhe!

We

made it.
