Chapter 10: The Top of the Storm 28
Nicole's eyes widened as she looked around her.
There are jungle killers surrounding them on all sides, and there are quite a few of them.
At this moment, several fierce tigers jumped out of the grass and rushed in to bite at these vicious crowds.
These jungle killers originally surrounded Lloyd and them violently, but now they are scattering and fleeing, even though they have some weapons in their hands that can resist, but when they see the tiger's bloody mouth, they are so frightened that they lose their equipment, and they can run as fast as they can.
Townsend and Kathu were a little uneasy when they saw a group of tigers, and were about to go back to the car to get some equipment to fight, but they were stopped by this mysterious man.
The corners of the mysterious man's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a smile: "Just look at it!" Do not worry! ”
With that, the mysterious man drew his bow and arrows again, and shot at some jungle killers who were unwilling to run away, and were still holding knives and axes to fight the tigers.
In a few moments, the enemy was cleared......
The tigers surrounded Lloyd and Nicole.
Nicole grabbed Lloyd nervously, but Lloyd stretched out his right hand, greeted the mysterious man and said, "I said, can you make these kittens not scare Nicole?" ”
This mysterious man's face changed, he had never seen a person who could be so calm in front of a tiger, could this person be ......
The mysterious man whistled loudly, and the tigers turned away and disappeared into the grass.
The mysterious man came to Lloyd and asked questioningly, "Who the hell are you?!" ”
Lloyd teased again, raised an eyebrow at the mysterious man, and asked with a smile: "You didn't tell me either, who are you!?" ”
"Lloyd, tossing all the way, it's getting late now, and it's inconvenient for us to hurry anymore, why don't we set up tents and camp first?" I have a lot of ways to prevent these beasts from invading, and I don't have to worry about this. Townsend also glanced at the mysterious man and said to Lloyd.
Lloyd nodded, because the temperature would drop at night, and the energy of the day would be consumed, and he had to replenish his energy and rest well to cope with the next day.
"Come with me." The mysterious man glanced at the crowd and walked ahead.
"What about the car!?" Xiao Zhang looked at the mysterious man, and then looked in the direction where the off-road vehicle was parked.
"That place is not far from here, you just need to lock the car, the beast will not swallow your car, and those people just now should not dare to turn back and retaliate immediately." The mysterious man said.
Lloyd nodded to everyone, and everyone followed behind the mysterious man.
After walking for more than ten minutes, I came to a cave.
It's a fairly spacious cavern, and the depths of the cave are so dark that you can't see your fingers, and this mysterious man seems to live in this cavern. He hung up his longbow, unloaded his equipment, neatly set up the firewood, and lit a fire, the fire in the cave illuminated the surroundings, but the depths were still dark and terrifying.
Although Nicole is a bold and careful girl, she will inevitably feel a little pressure in the face of such a natural test of survival, because these are completely different from the intrigue of the city.
Lloyd patted Nicole and nodded to reassure her.
Nicole pursed her lips and nodded.
"Gollum...... Grunt...... "Towngsen's stomach made a sound in dismay.
Everyone looked at Tang Sen, and Tang Sen was embarrassed to pick up a stone next to him and sit up.
"I've got processed meat, and it's ready to eat when it's grilled." The mysterious man took out the wild boar and rabbit meat he had hunted.
Nicole, who has always been accustomed to fine clothes and fine food, couldn't help but feel sick when she looked at these bloody meats.
Seeing Nicole's expression, the mysterious man smiled and said, "Don't underestimate these, they will be roasted in a while!" ”
Nicole looked at it in disbelief.
Everyone sat around the wood fire to keep warm, and each roasted the meat in their hands.
"Why are you here?!" The mysterious man couldn't help but be curious about Lloyd, and asked while roasting the meat.
"I have something to deal with in Thunderstorm City, but this seems to be the way to go, so I ended up here." Kathu had already replied, and then pinched the meat with his hand to see if it was ripe.
"I see...... the mysterious man thought thoughtfully, the fire shone on the mysterious man's face, and the claw marks on his face that had been scratched by the beast were very obvious, and he looked very vicissitudes.
"What do you call it?" Lloyd spoke.
"A name is just a code name, it doesn't matter what you call it. After so many years, I myself have forgotten my name. The mysterious man sighed.
"You said you also have a grudge against the bushkillers today, what's going on?" Tang Sen asked curiously.
"I'll tell you a story...... "The fire shone on the mysterious man's vicissitudes of life, and he sighed slightly again and said slowly.
"Five years ago, a couple who loved to travel the world and were keen on jungle adventures came here. The greatest danger in this jungle is not the wild beasts, but the ruthless poachers, and you should see elephants and all kinds of animals along the way. It's a poacher's paradise! The mysterious man clenched his fists and said.
"Then you mean, the gang is still poachers!?" Tang Sen asked curiously, the meat was not cooked yet, so he could only continue to roast patiently.
"Yes, although they are not on a large scale, they are connected to each other and are doing shady things. It also colluded with some black-hearted traders abroad. It can be said that there is no evil! The mysterious man pulled out a pocket watch from his clothes, and when he opened it, there was a picture of his wife, a beautiful and lively woman.
"Then no one cares about this situation!?" Townsend, who loves nature, asked angrily.
"It's not that no one cares, but they can't take care of it! How big do you think this forest is? How many people do you need? How many people patrolled? And these poachers do not have a fixed time and place to operate. Therefore, they usually settle in Leiyin Town, and they will come over to poach at any time with their equipment. The mysterious man said, looking affectionately at the photo of his wife on his pocket watch, his vicissitudes of life, his wet red eyes flashing with tears of longing in the firelight.
"Then you and your wife ......," Lloyd began, and although such a question would reveal the scars of the mysterious man, perhaps the pain would be much lessened if he were willing to pour it out.
The mysterious man quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and put away his pocket watch.
Just as he was about to tell everyone the story of his wife, there was a pair of shining sharp eyes outside in front of the entrance of the dark cave, and everyone was aware of it......
