Chapter 10: Top of the Storm 30
In a cave lit by fireβ
Lloyd got up and reached the light hand axe embedded in the stone wall, pulled it out with his right hand, and shook it at the mysterious man.
From the moment the off-road vehicle entered the forest, Townsend focused his attention on the creatures and the environment, so as to be prepared for the unexpected situation. However, Lloyd noticed more subtle details, and this was the umpteenth time that Townsend admired Lloyd's carefulness.
"From the moment we entered the forest, I saw a lot of special marks, which must not have been left by passing travelers, nor by those rough and blind poachers, so they were only marked by one type of person, that is, by the people who lived in the forest." Lloyd handed the light axe back to the mysterious man.
The mysterious man took the axe back in disbelief, looked at Lloyd with a questioning look, and asked, "What mark!?" β
"Isn't it obvious? Many of the trees in this forest are surrounded by rattans and are clockwise, but some of the trees have rattan that are deliberately wound around the trees in a counterclockwise fashion. I believe that the vast majority of people will be less sensitive to non-standard marks. The setting of this mark is very exquisite! Lloyd said with a smile.
Everyone in the cave looked at Lloyd with admiration, such a labyrinthine forest, even such details can be found!
The mysterious man smiled, thinking that Lloyd really had two hits.
"But that doesn't prove that I'm going to save you, you're so calm?" The mysterious man was obviously a life-saver, but he still asked deliberately.
"Ahh As you said, it just so happened that when I got to Crocodile Beach, I saw a trap that had been removed. This means that there are not only hunters in the jungle, but also people who fight against them. Obviously, these animals couldn't have done such a delicate thing. Secondly, in the river of Crocodile Beach, I also saw fishing nets in deep places, and I believe that it should be your masterpiece and dare to fish there. Lloyd clapped softly as he spoke.
The mysterious man nodded and said, "That's right, this season of the year is the season for fish to mate, so there will be a large number of lake fish migrating through this river, and I just stop by to harvest it." β
"Finally, when I was in the swamp, I actually knew you were in a nearby tree. Through the law of your marking, as soon as the three trees settle down, there must be a certain amount of equipment and bows and arrows on those trees, right? Lloyd raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, in fact, Lloyd usually already knew the answer when he asked.
The mysterious man shook his head helplessly and asked Lloyd, "You are the Lloyd who has become famous recently, right?" After talking for so long, we didn't introduce ourselves to each other. But you'd better treat me like an anonymous person, because when my girlfriend lost her life in this forest, my soul was buried here! β
"Even the wildlings who live in the forest know about Lloyd!?" Tang Sen deliberately shook his body, said in a trembling voice, and then took a bite of the barbecue, it was so fragrant!
The mysterious man looked at Tang Sen and said humorously: "Yes, you are too famous, and the people in the city are too good at playing." β
Everyone laughed.
The tiger on the side, Fang, felt that everyone's aura was very harmonious, so he was even happier to enjoy its food and blend into this atmosphere.
"In this way, the beautiful woman in front of you dressed like a cheerleader should be the legendary goddess of variety - Miss Nicole?" The mysterious man bowed to Gentleman Nicole.
Nicole smiled and nodded.
Townsend hurriedly pointed to himself and asked, "Then do you know who I am!?" Have you heard of me?! β
The mysterious man shook his head, and Townsend continued to eat meat in frustration, and Katu on the side patted him.
"It's really my honor to meet your group, I have heard a little about the ups and downs on the rivers and lakes recently, but I didn't expect to meet you in person, sure enough, they are all extraordinary and outstanding!" The mysterious man praised.
Xiao Zhang on the side also came up, gave a thumbs up and said, "Am I also outstanding?" β
Everyone stared at this thin Xiao Zhang, nodded vigorously and seriously, and said in unison: "It's really outstanding!" β
Xiao Zhang found that he was bored, and began to chew the barbecue in frustration.
At this time, the mysterious man's face changed slightly, and he said to Lloyd: "You ......"
However, he stopped and did not speak.
This aroused everyone's curiosity, and Townsend hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Lloyd!?" β
Lloyd also looked at the mysterious man curiously, probably knowing what he was going to say.
The mysterious man looked back at the fangs that were eating so much that he was eating, then turned back to Lloyd and said, "You are the one who scared the fangs today, right?" β
At this time, except for Nicole and Lloyd, everyone froze there in great surprise.
"Fangs are not cats or dogs, nor wolves, jackals, etc., but they are the king of the jungle - tigers! How did Lloyd scare this adult tiger!? Towngsen, who had a lot of experience in jungle adventures, asked with his jaw about to fall to the ground in surprise, and his glasses widened.
The mysterious man was silent for a moment, crossed his hands over his chest, and nodded with a serious expression.
Kathu, who has always admired strength and hardness, was also shocked, what did Lloyd use, how could he scare the tiger unscathed!?
Xiao Zhang's expression on the side was not so surprised, and he continued to chew the meat.
"The fangs told me with their eyes that it had encountered fear like never before, that it was a beast more fierce than a tiger. For this reason, it took me a lot of things and many ways to convince Fangs to go out today. Otherwise, it may not dare to go out to forage for food for a while! The mysterious man looked at Lloyd, and there was a slight horror in his voice.
"Oh! β¦β¦ That's what you said, I thought you were talking about something. That's this big cat of yours who is overly nervous. Maybe I was wearing something special, haha......" Lloyd pulled the subject away for such a far-fetched reason.
Nicole smiled and agreed: "Yes, I was there at that time, maybe Lloyd was wearing something special, why don't you try it too?" β
Tang Sen, Katu, and Xiao Zhang looked at each other for a moment, and they all shook their heads violently.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, there's something I need to tell you about how to get out of this Forest of Death!" The mysterious man said solemnly and walked to the side of the fangs, whose coat was very good and very strong.
Everyone looked at the mysterious man curiously, hoping that he could guide him.
"If you can't get out of this forest before tomorrow evening, then you'll have to spend half a year in the forest, living with wild beasts and fighting to the death with poachers." The mysterious man said in a deep voice, not looking like he was joking.
"Why!? ......" Townsend asked excitedly, because he had never encountered such an exaggerated thing.
