In the middle of the night, Zhu Yu was sleeping soundly in his tent when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of "bang bang bang bang" gunshots.
Zhu Yu suddenly got up, and then heard Ran Jie say from outside the tent:
"Boss, it's okay. It's a group of coyotes attacking the camp. Jason and the others are killing the wolves."
In this case, Zhu Yu would feel relieved.
He heard footsteps beside the tent. Some people were guarding here and some were leaving.
Sure enough, after a while, the gunfire stopped, and then there were footsteps.
Zhu Yu came out of the tent and saw Jason and others dragging a few wolves over.
Instead, Qin Fei dragged a different animal over.
"Is this a roe deer?" Zhu Yu asked curiously, looking at the animal that was bigger than a lamb and looked a bit like a deer.
"It should be something like a muntjac." Ran Jie didn't know him very well. Qin Fei shook his head: "I don't know either. It's probably something like a deer. I was frightened by a wolf and ran out just now, and then I was hit by a stray bullet." , can’t survive.”
"Then let's eat more tomorrow." If it were alive, Zhu Yu wouldn't mind letting the thing go, but if it was no longer alive, then becoming food might be a good choice.
Over there, Jason and others saw Ran Jie and Qin Fei discussing the deer on hand, with obvious envy.
They brought the coyote back to try some wild game.
But wolf meat is rough, how can it compare with venison?
The sky was getting brighter and everyone in the camp was getting up.
Most people didn't sleep very well due to last night's shooting, so they didn't look very energetic in the morning.
There were still two bonfires. Zhu Yu and Ran Jie cooked porridge, while Qin Fei skinned the deer, chopped part of the meat and put it into the porridge, and cooked it into meat porridge. The aroma was immediately fragrant.
Hans' side was filled with dry food, boiled water, and dried meat. They have nothing to do with each other.
After breakfast, we continued on the boat and drove for dozens of kilometers. There were no traces of human life along the way. Occasionally, there were one or two totem poles and other things standing upright in the river branches. I don’t know what they meant.
There are ferocious and strange statues on these totem poles, some with one eye and some with three eyes, watching these outsiders.
The river slowly narrowed, and when the boat could no longer move forward, the men disembarked.
Hans and the boat owner made an appointment to pick them up in half a month, and the boat immediately turned around and flew away.
There are occasionally one or two birds chirping in the jungle. At other times, the chirping of insects is relatively rare and dull. After a while, I will be covered with sweat and feel very uncomfortable.
Zhu Yu put the weird medicine on his body before getting off the boat, and gave some to Ran Jie and Qin Fei, so they didn't feel it yet.
But others are having a hard time.
"Leech!" Mira screamed first, slapping her legs constantly.
Zhu Yu looked over and found three earthworm-like leeches pricking Mira's calf, desperately sucking blood!
I glanced over and saw hundreds of leeches on the nearby grass and leaves that had smelled human scent, and they all swarmed over!
These leeches can basically avoid Zhu Yu and the other three, and all head towards the remaining seven people!
"Hurry up and deal with it when you get to the front!" Jason also discovered this and rushed forward with Hans in hand!
Mira was also held by another mercenary's arm and ran forward.
Although they had experience fighting in the jungle, had they never seen so many leeches charging at people at once?
If I really don't move, I'm afraid I'll be sucked into being fucked in a matter of seconds!
Zhu Yu and the other three immediately started running.
Fortunately, there were leeches chasing them, otherwise, these people might not be able to run so fast with big bags on their backs!
After running for a kilometer or two, several people stopped.
Hans and Mira were panting and sat on the ground leaning on the roots of the tree, unable to get up. Jason and others looked around to check.
Zhu Yu glanced at it and said:
"No more. Almost none around here."
When I ran over just now, I saw some bones on the ground.
It is estimated that that area is the territory of drought leeches, and some animals cannot escape their vicious bite.
A mercenary helped Mira deal with three leeches. Looking over at this time, the three leeches were already twice as thick as before!
After using the medicine and removing it, the wound continued to bleed. Zhu Yu remembered that he had read information. When this thing is sucked on the human body, it will first spit out toxins that inhibit blood coagulation, and then suck the blood. This way the wound won't clot.
It makes sense that mosquitoes spit out paralyzing toxins before sucking blood so that they don't feel any pain at first.
After treating the wound and resting for a while, the guide Pumiti picked a big tree and climbed up like a monkey.
He looked up there for a while, then came down and chirped a few words to Hans.
After listening to the translation, Mira said:
"He said that we are now to the north of the tribe. After walking south for about a few kilometers, we will encounter the tribe you met before."
Hans nodded and said:
"Then let's go!"
It went well at first, and Hans was naturally satisfied. Although he was chased by a leech, it was nothing if he could escape.
As the group continued to move forward, the jungle in front of them became denser and thicker. Occasionally, small animals jumped out of the bushes and fled in a hurry.
The mercenaries and Qin Fei who opened the way in front could even pick off a snake from time to time.
Zhu Yu secretly sighed, it is really not safe here!
Seeing that it was almost noon, I found a slightly dry open space to rest.
Ran Jie and Qin Fei lit the fire, put the venison prepared in the morning into the pot and started cooking.
The deer is small, the meat is tender, and the fragrance comes out without much effort.
This made the few mercenaries who were eating dry food very envious.
Of course, it was also thanks to Zhu Yu's "backpack" that he carried ginger, garlic, onion and other ingredients to remove the smell.
After a while, the meat was good. The three of them each filled a large bowl and started eating the pancakes.
Hans and Mira also got a few pieces of meat and a bowl of soup.
Other mercenaries came over and each of them filled a bowl of soup, but it also felt extremely delicious.
There was originally some gap between the two teams, but it was reduced a lot by this bowl of soup.
After packing up and moving on, before dark, we saw some wooden houses and thatched huts in the jungle.
Hans was overjoyed when he saw it. He excitedly said to Zhu Yu:
"This is the tribe I found first last time. Although it is still far away from the treasure trove, the people in the tribe are very enthusiastic and familiar with the roads in the jungle. It will be much easier if I can find their help."
Zhu Yu was a little confused. It was so smooth along the way. Is this normal?
If this was the case, why did Hans keep searching for it several times but never found it?
He walked toward the tribe with doubts, but he was quickly blocked from the tribe by a group of short primitive tribesmen wearing leaf clothes, pointing javelins at them!
The mercenaries, Ran Jie, Qin Fei and others also immediately took out their guns and confronted each other.
Hans shouted hurriedly:
"Don't get excited!" Then he pushed Pumiti and asked him to step forward to explain.
Pumiti walked over and chirped something to the tribesmen, and the tribesmen over there also chirped a few words in reply. The two sides went back and forth for a while before Pumiti came back and said to Mira for a while.
Mira Translation:
"They said that a group of guests have already arrived in the tribe. They are not welcoming new guests for the time being. Let us go somewhere else!"
New guest?
Hans and Zhu Yu looked at each other. Could it be that someone else had gotten there first?
Or is it a coincidence that someone else happened to be here too?
Hans hurriedly said to Mira:
"Tell him and let him tell the other party that we have brought the salt, cloth, rice and other things they need, and they will definitely be satisfied!"
Only then did Zhu Yu realize that Hans and the others were carrying large bags, which contained supplies exchanged with the tribe!
Mira translated for Pumiti, and Pumiti went to tell the tribe warriors. After hearing this, some of the warriors immediately turned around and entered the tribe, while the others softened their attitude a lot.
After waiting for a while, a tribesman with better clothes and a wooden stick in his hand, who was probably a wizard or a priest, came out, accompanied by the warrior who had passed before.
When Pumiti saw him, her attitude immediately became more respectful, and she chatted for a long time. The priest nodded with a gentle expression, waved, said a few words, and then turned and left.
The tribal warriors moved away to make way for a passage, and Pumiti spoke loudly to Mira, which seemed to be a demonstration of merit.
Although Mira hasn't translated yet, everyone guessed what the priest meant, which was to let everyone in.
Mira translated, that’s what it meant.
Some soldiers took these people to a thatched hut, pointed to Pumiti and said a few words, and then left.
However, there were several warriors in the distance watching them with javelins, and some had blowguns, obviously for surveillance.
Pumiti translated, and then Hans and the others understood that this thatched cottage would be theirs to live in temporarily.
There are not many places for people to live in the tribe, but Zhu Yu keenly discovered that someone had set up a tent on the edge of the wooden house in the distance!
Sure enough, there are outsiders here!
As soon as Hans and Zhu Yu discussed it, the hut would belong to Mira, and the others would live in tents.
A tent was set up around the thatched house. Zhu Yu and others put down their backpacks and planned to rest from their activities.
At this time, three people came over from the wooden house.
A man, a woman, and a bodyguard with a gun.
The man was about forty years old, wearing a cowboy hat, short sleeves, and big shorts. He looked like the hero in "Raiders of the Lost Ark," but he was a little thin and couldn't hold up his aura.
The woman is quite beautiful, she is twenty-seven or eighty years old. She holds a camera in her hand and has slightly curly blond hair. She looks here curiously.
The one holding the gun is naturally a bodyguard, and his temperament is very similar to that of Jason and others. I don't know if he is a mercenary or a security company.
"Old Hans? I really didn't expect to meet you here!" When the visitor saw Hans, his expression was filled with exaggerated surprise. He stretched out his hands and seemed to be planning to give Hans a big hug:
"It seems that life is full of surprises!"
When Hans saw this man, his face turned livid:
"Tonks, I don't think meeting you is a surprise! On the contrary, I think it's a disaster! You shameless guy, do you want to peek at my treasure? Let me tell you, you can't succeed!"
"Oh! Dear Hans, how could you think so?" Tonks said in an aggrieved tone:
"I just happened to be walking on the same road as you at this time, looking for the same treasure.
No one stipulates that the treasure must be yours, right? Whoever finds who belongs first, I think I am lucky..."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Hans to reply, he looked at Zhu Yu:
"Are you that Chinese boy who got lucky? I hope your luck will be useful in this weird jungle! Hahahaha!"
After speaking, he turned and left.
Hans was so angry that he didn't even have a chance to fight back.
Zhu Yu walked over and said to Hans:
"If you are angry, then you have fallen into his trap. He came here just to make you angry. If you decide to leave the tribe and go deeper into the jungle now, you have fallen into his trap!"
Hans is an old man. He was just angry just now. Now that he calmed down, he immediately understood the sinister intentions of Tonks.
Jason looked ugly and said:
"I'll find someone to inquire about their situation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Fei had already quietly touched back and said to Zhu Yu:
"Thirteen people came from the other side. In addition to Tonks and the woman Feili just now, there is also a guide and ten mercenaries. They have sophisticated weapons and rich combat experience!"
Qin Fei's voice was not too quiet, and everyone else heard it.
Jason's face suddenly looked weird!
He just wanted to know about the other party's situation, and Qin Fei had already finished asking!
Qin Fei hasn't finished speaking yet and continues to report:
"They have automatic weapons, and there are tribesmen who are trading with them..."
As soon as he said this, Hans's expression suddenly turned ugly!
Things didn't go as smoothly as expected!
However, there is no good solution at the moment.
Even if Zhu Yu had the Heavenly Eye, it would be of little use at this time.
At this time, two people from the tribe came and spoke to Pumiti.
Pumiti translated through Meera.
It turns out that some of the things produced in the tribe have been replaced by those people just now. If Hans and the others still want to exchange, the price will be lower.
Through Pumiti's translation, Zhu Yu was surprised to find that this tribe was also rich in alluvial gold!
Exchange salt for sand gold, this is a good deal!
It's a pity that the sand gold in the tribe has been replaced by Tonks and others.
Hans didn't feel it was a pity. He directly said that he would exchange his supplies for a guide.
After hearing Hans's request for a guide, the tribesmen immediately said that their people could not go that far.
The guides who exchanged these supplies such as salt, cloth, and rice could only go a day's journey away from the tribe. You can't go any further.
Without Tonks' presence, Hans could still hang out with them. Now he also knew that it was not appropriate to talk for a long time due to long nights and dreams, so he immediately agreed.
After delivering bags of salt and other supplies, the tribesmen took the things away with joy on their faces. After waiting for a while, two pots of food were brought to them.
Anyone can see that these tribesmen feel that they have taken a big advantage.
These two pots of food are like Huhu, exuding a mixture of fragrance and fishy smell.
From the other pot, you can see that it is a slightly fermented drink or canned food mixed with various fruits.
Faced with such food, except for Pumiti who ate a little, no one else moved and used the self-heating food they brought with them for dinner.
It was completely dark, and the tribesmen lit bonfires and sang and danced happily.
Zhu Yu guessed that they should be so happy because they had harvested a lot of scarce supplies.
However, the people in this tribe are generally short and look like children, which makes them look a bit harmless.
Early the next morning, Zhu Yu's view changed!
Because he saw a group of tribal warriors coming back from outside. Three people were carrying a crocodile, and five people were dragging a giant python!
This thing is not something ordinary people can do!
