RNP Chapter 1372: Literally
Chapter 1372: Literally
This path down the mountain looks like it is often walked by people.
On the one-person-wide path, the soil was so hard that it was trampled, not a single blade of grass grew, and it was rare to see some living creatures on both sides of the road.
Colorful insects, strange-looking birds with four claws.
Birds and flowers.
If it wasn't because of the encounters along the way that made our hearts extremely heavy, we could still squeeze out some thoughts to enjoy this leisure time, but it's a pity that we can't.
I'm fine, but the two team members next to me seem to be suffering from neurosensitivity.
Even a slight turbulence would make the two of them instantly alert. I could see the startled appearance, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Among the three people here, especially my five senses are the most sensitive.
Even if there is danger, I will definitely be the first to find out. There is no need for the two of them to be so vigilant, but I know that their situation cannot be changed for a while.
The further downhill we got, the flatter the terrain became.
Not far from our left hand side is the waterfall that descends down the mountain. Because of the gentle terrain here, the water flow has turned into a small stream when it passes here. The brisk stream sound soothed my slightly tired nerves. .
"That is……"
But when we passed a bush, I suddenly noticed something stuck in the trunk behind the bush.
Taking a closer look, it was an arrow.
The texture is the same as the poisonous arrows used by the aborigines before. However, this arrow inserted in the trunk should have existed for a while. The position of the arrow is rusty and has been eroded by wind and rain. up.
"It seems that we are on the right path..."
I casually threw the arrow aside, greeted the two team members beside me, and continued to move forward.
Go forward.
The more traces left by the aborigines, the more certain I am that there are aborigines living here.
The sun was rising gradually, and we had traveled a long distance, and I gradually smelled a faint smell of blood in the air. I could vaguely distinguish that this smell was not the smell of human blood, but the smell of human blood. Beast blood, if I guess correctly, there may be aborigines hunting nearby...and they have successfully captured the prey.
"Shh."
I made a silent gesture to the two team members beside me, and then whispered to them: "Come with me..."
Immediately, I took the two of them out of the forest path and walked along the bloody smell.
The three of us tried our best to keep our footsteps light, for fear of being discovered by the aborigines hiding in the woods, but we were completely overwhelmed. As the sound of the water became louder and louder, I knew that we were gradually approaching the stream .
Sure enough, relying on the dense bushes and thick tree trunks to hide our figure, we successfully discovered five aborigines squatting by the river.
Three women and two men.
Two male aborigines, holding a rough hunting bow in each hand, stood behind the three female aborigines like guards.
And the three female aborigines were cleaning the internal organs of animals by the river.
click.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of bullets being loaded, and turned my head to see that one of the team members secretly raised his gun, intending to catch the five aborigines here.
"Don't shoot!"
I quickly held down his muzzle.
shot?
Shooting here, apart from killing these five aborigines, what good does it do us?
There is no benefit, on the contrary, it will expose us.
You must know that human beings have always lived near water since history was recorded, because water is an essential part of life, and since these aborigines draw water here, it proves that their base camp is likely to be in this stream nearby.
Even though this is a jungle, the sound of gunfire will definitely attract their attention.
We now know nothing about the number, manpower, and other aspects of those aborigines. Shooting a gun here is tantamount to courting death, even if... we have guns.
But the combat effectiveness of guns in the jungle is extremely limited.
Not necessarily much better than arrows.
The aborigines on those islands, as long as they are male, will practice archery from birth, because it is the foundation of their livelihood, and when they grow up, every one of them will be a good archer.
What's more, the jungle is still their home field, fighting them in the jungle... We can't please them at all.
"Yes……"
For my order, the two players are still very obedient.
So, the two of them followed me and hid behind the tree, watching quietly, until the female aborigines finished cleaning the food and left accompanied by two male aborigines. followed.
"Captain, are you planning to..."
"You'll know when you arrive."
I said in a low voice, and one word blocked the team member's mouth. He nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
We followed in a direction away from the west flow.
After a distance of about 200 meters, the sight in the distance suddenly opened up. There were not many trees, but some simple houses, mostly piled up with tree trunks and turf. Primitive breath.
Needless to say, there must be an Aboriginal tribe here.
However, from the number of these houses, it can be roughly inferred that the number of them living here should not exceed a hundred, and it may be around forty or fifty.
We were standing in the jungle next to the tribe, less than 100 meters away from the nearest house to us, and we could even faintly hear the crying of children in the tribe.
"Captain, are you still leaving?"
As time passed by, the two team members beside me gradually couldn't stay longer, and one of them couldn't help but said: "There are too many people on the other side, it's useless for us to stay here, in case we are discovered , but it happened.”
"Do you want to go?"
I turned around, stared at him quietly and asked: "If you want to leave, you can go now, I will definitely not stop you."
"Captain, what do you mean?"
After the team member heard my words, he panicked all of a sudden.
"literal meaning."
I took a deep breath and said: "I'm not our babysitter, understand? Sending you here, I have done what I can do. Next, I will do what I want to do. If you If you want to follow me, then act with me, if you don't want to, you can leave now..."
