Chapter 277: Macaque Archery

I saw the bodies of six policemen lying crookedly in a jungle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Most of them had already pulled out their guns, and there were still some bullet casings left around, which showed that they had shot back in a hurry.

It's just that there aren't many bullet casings left around, and apparently they didn't last long.

Li Xun stepped forward to check the cause of death, and suddenly frowned.

Crossbow bolts!

The other party actually shot them with the crossbow arrows of the compound crossbow!

Li Xun took a closer look at the policemen's wounds, and his brows couldn't help frowning even deeper.

It turned out that these crossbow arrows were smeared with some toxins, and the muscles around the wounds of these policemen were faintly blackened.

This is obviously a very drastic toxin.

It's no wonder that some of the policemen's wounds didn't look deep, and most of them didn't seem to hit the mark, but they all died quickly, and it turned out that the toxin was at work.

Poisoned arrows kill people, it's really a ferocious method, this is the slightest room for it.

If it's just to prevent the police from tracking you, you can just take the opportunity to flee after hurting someone, and there's no need to smear drugs.

Does the real murderer think that if he kills someone, he can threaten the police not to pursue him?

The fact is that in such a situation, the police can only pay more attention, send more people, and use stronger force to investigate.

Moreover, the act of smearing drugs shows that they have been prepared for a long time.

So, is this a provocation, is it madness, or is it ignorance?

Finding out the cause of the policemen's deaths, Li Xun became a little uneasy in his heart, not for himself, but for others.

As a veteran hunter, he knows that a ferocious beast is not terrible, but the most terrible thing is a mad beast, because you can't predict what a mad beast will do.

And in comparison, a mad and ferocious person is undoubtedly more terrible than a mad beast.

On the other side, Xue Qizhen also looked around, and then returned to Li Xun's side, his expression became a little serious: "Judging from the situation of these policemen falling to the ground, as well as the missed crossbow arrows scattered among the surrounding grass and rocks, the other party is definitely not alone in firing crossbows. ā€

Li Xun was quite impressed by this, and nodded in response: "Yes, a person who sends a crossbow does not have such a fast shooting frequency, the crossbow is not like a gun, it can be fired continuously, and once the police are ambushed, as long as they are relieved and get the opportunity to call for help, they will definitely ask their colleagues for help."

But apparently the policemen were shot at a very fast pace, and the most they could do was shoot back, and they could not even call for reinforcements in time.

Looking at the angle of the other party's shot, it seems that the crossbow arrows were suddenly fired from four or five angles at the same time, so I guess that this was premeditated. ā€

When Xue Qi really heard this, his face changed, and he also figured out the key to it, and asked rhetorically in disbelief: "Could it be that this squad of policemen has stepped into the ambush encirclement laid by the other party in advance?

Li Xun pondered and said: "I can't rule out this possibility, but in addition to this, there is another incomprehensible point: What kind of bear's heart and leopard gall did the other party eat! Dare to provoke the police in this way? Is this really fearless, or is there another plan?"

Li Xun said very reasonably, provoking the police is tantamount to provoking state authority.

After such an analysis, Li Xun and Xue Qizhen, you look at me, I look at you, I only feel that the mystery behind all this is even heavier.

But no matter what, Li Xun quickly investigated the surrounding situation.

He was going to search for any traces left on the other side.

The police have also started a search around, but in the jungle, they cannot be completely relied upon.

But it's no wonder, Li Xun looked around, especially judging the angles from which the crossbow arrows came, and investigated far and near, but found no trace of human activity.

Not only did Li Xun gain nothing, but the police didn't find anything.

It's as if the bolt was fired out of thin air.

Hunters with strong hidden traces, such as the man in white, can indeed cover their tracks well, but there are not many people at his level, Li Xun doesn't believe that in these four or five directions, at least a dozen crossbowmen of compound crossbows, hiding within the range of crossbow arrows, can shoot arrows without leaving the slightest trace.

Xue Qizhen saw that Li Xun's face was heavy, and he approached and asked, "Why, can't you find any clues?"

Li Xun nodded: "It's strange, there is no trace of an ambush on the ground, there are so many people on the other side, it is impossible to do it so cleanly, didn't they send crossbows from the ground?"

As soon as he finished saying this, Xue Qizhen was immediately inspired by this sentence, and subconsciously, the two of them looked up at the top of the dense forest at the same time.

I saw that overhead, there were towering trees everywhere, and the branches were intertwined with each other, densely packed.

Almost simultaneously, the two realized that there was no trace on the ground, that there was only one possibility, that the attack was from the trees.

"I'll go up and have a look. ā€

After that, Li Xun "swished" and climbed a big tree, and when he looked around, there was no trace of human activity left on the tree.

But inadvertently, Li Xun smelled a faint smell in his nose.

He frowned.

Is this the smell of macaques?

Is there macaques around here?

Li Xun can be sure that this residual breath is left by the macaques among the monkeys, not other kinds of monkeys.

After carefully identifying the source of the smell, Li Xun jumped high from the branch of a large tree, slid through the air, and firmly grasped the branch of another large tree.

His posture was as agile as that of an ape, but he startled the people watching below.

Li Xun climbed the big tree opposite, his nose fluttered rapidly, and he only felt that the residual macaque aura around him became heavier.

Looking closely around the branches of the tree, this time, he did find some paw prints left by macaques on the tree, but again, there were no traces of human activity on the tree.

Standing on this big tree, Li Xun looked in the direction where the policemen had fallen to the ground.

There is really no obstacle between the two, and the field of vision is very wide.

Li Xun even found traces of bullets on one of the branches, brushing the body of the tree.

It seems that the police officers shot here before they died.

After looking at it for a long time, Li Xunfang jumped down along the trunk of the tree.

landed firmly on the ground, and Xue Qizhen, Yang Zhenghui, Tanya and others surrounded him.

"Did you find anything?" Xue Qizhen asked.

"Yes, but it's so weird that I can't believe it. Li Xun said with a deep groan.

"What is it?" asked Yang Zhenghui.

"There was the smell of macaques in the trees, and the direction in which several policemen fought back turned out to be in this direction. ā€

Macaque?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Li Xun asked Xue Qizhen: "Old Xue, can the Song family's beast driver control the macaque to shoot crossbows?"

"Macaque shooting crossbow?" Xue Qi was really stunned. But since Li Xun would ask like this, it means that maybe he really speculated that there was such a possibility.

He thought about it carefully, but shook his head: "I think it's not possible to use the beast to control the macaque to shoot the crossbow, the crossbow shooting thing is too skillful, without a long time of training, the macaque may be able to do the same action, just like a sheep dancing, but it is impossible to master the skill of shooting the crossbow accurately, and the crossbow arrows it shoots will not be accurate, even if it is through the beast driving." ā€

Xue Qi really thought about it, and said: "Even if the macaque has this skill, from another aspect, the average macaque only weighs seven or eight kilograms at most, and the body length is only sixty or seventy centimeters at most, and even if it uses a compound crossbow with a pulley, when pulling the bowstring, it also needs a relatively large amount of strength, although the arm strength of the macaque is relatively strong, but combined with the skill of pulling the bowstring, they are probably not enough to do this." ā€

Xue Qi's analysis really made sense, Li Xun thought about it for a while, and felt that his previous judgment might be wrong.

But there was always a strange feeling that his judgment was not wrong.

Looking up, Li Xun suddenly felt that if it was really as he imagined, this dense forest would probably be full of dangers. (To be continued.) )
