[005] Slave trading team
Owl and Sa walk in the woods.
To be honest, it's not an easy thing to do.
Snakes, insects, rats, ants, jackals, tigers and leopards can be found almost everywhere in a world that has not yet been ruled by humans, and even in towns where humans gather, there are occasional wild beasts, let alone in the forest.
Therefore, the two of them stopped and stopped all the way, and changed their routes several times, which was actually very hard.
However, the owl always found a way to find the hare and the squirrel, so the two of them not only became more and more energetic along the way, but also became much stronger physically.
The owl's appetite is getting better and better, and his strength is almost catching up with that of adults, and Suo's physical strength has improved, the only thing that worries him is that Suo will grow a beard because he eats too much squirrel meat, but fortunately this worry did not happen.
It is estimated that this is because of the small amount of food and the small amount of food.
One day, the two of them walked out of the woods, and in front of them was a plain, which was supposed to be a very suitable place for human settlements, but there was no city here, but there was an air of desperation.
The owl saw a rusty knife stuck in the ground not far away, which seemed to have been there for a long time, so he stepped forward to take a look.
They couldn't figure out where they were, they didn't even know where they were going, but they just started walking at sunrise and found a place to rest at sunset.
The small town of Moorea must have been a long way off, but they had no idea where the road was.
"Suh, no problem, come here. The owl said to Sa, who was hiding in the woods.
Sa stepped out of the woods, approached the owl and looked at the knife stuck in the ground.
"I think I've seen this kind of knife. Suo said thoughtfully.
Xiao looked at Suo, and without waiting for him to ask, Suo continued to recall: "It seems that five years ago, an army from Leiden City passed through Moorea, and their knives looked like this. ”
"The army of Leyton City!" the owl thought with a frown.
Leyden City is the superior city of Moorea Town, and he had been there once with Uncle Robert Jr., but he had not seen the army of Leyden City at that time, so he had no impression.
Speaking of which, the destruction of the small town of Morea and the lack of reaction from the city of Leiden are very suspicious in itself.
"Well, it looks like we need to make a trip to Leyden. Xiao said thoughtfully.
Suo nodded and said, "Oh, where Brother Xiao goes, I'll go." ”
The problem is that now they don't even know where they are, and it's a bit of a hassle to get to Leiden City.
However, this kind of trouble is not too big, after all, the owl can roughly judge the location of Moorea Town, and through the location of Moorea Town, you can vaguely know which direction to go.
Even if there is a deviation at that time, it should not be too big.
If it is a modern person, it must be 100% lost, and it is absolutely impossible to get out of this grassland without navigation, but for the owl, identifying the direction is the most basic knowledge, otherwise what kind of hunter will be lost, and you will get lost directly to death when you enter the woods.
However, before leaving, the two of them worked together to try to pull out the rusty knife, although this knife was rusty, but it was also a weapon, which was more reliable than the small dagger in the hand of the owl.
The problem was that the two of them couldn't pull out the knife when they worked together, so the owl decided to dig the stone out of the earth.
He crouched on the ground, holding a flat stone in both hands to quickly dig through the dirt, and after a few minutes he was stunned for a moment, only to see that there were bones buried under the ground, and the knife was stuck in the bones.
Then, he continued to dig without changing his face, and gradually a corpse was revealed.
It was a male corpse, dressed somewhat like a soldier, and the fatal wound was not caused by the knife, which got stuck in his ribs, and was not fatal.
The owl tried to step on the bone and draw the knife, but in the end, because of two twists, the knife suddenly broke in two, one was still stuck in the bone, and the other was in the owl's hand.
He closed his eyes and imagined the scene, the two fought head-on, the knife stabbed the body of the corpse, and then the owner of the knife could not pull out the knife for a while, so he simply gave up the knife and used other methods to kill the dead.
"Let's go. He refilled the dirt with his legs and said to Suo.
Unable to get their hands on the weapon, both of them were a little lost, and they didn't open their mouths all the way, walking and entering the woods again.
"We need a pot!" said suddenly, to Suo.
Su frowned and said, "We don't have any money." ”
Besides, even if they had money, they had nowhere to buy it, except in Leiden City.
Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I'll figure it out." ”
As a hunter with countless culinary cooking recipes, he doesn't think he can't get his hands on money.
Of course, the premise is that they can go to the cities inhabited by humans.
Before you know it, it's noon again.
The two did not find a water source this time, and simply rested under a tree.
The owl took out some of the fruits he had picked earlier, and the two of them ate some of them, and then leaned together and closed their eyes to recuperate.
After resting for about twenty minutes, the owl pushed and pushed, and then the two got up and continued walking.
"We need a water tank!" said Owl as he walked.
If there is a water tank, they can cook even when they go to a place where there is no water source.
"Hmm. He nodded and wrote it down.
The two continued to walk, and suddenly Xiao spoke again: "Bow and arrow, knife, spice...... There are so many things we need. ”
"Hmm. I silently kept it in my heart.
Suddenly, the owl stopped, pulled him behind a tree, glanced at him tacitly, and then held his breath.
The owl poked his head out, and saw a caravan passing by in the woods not far away, this caravan was not many in number, but each one was very strong, and carried two carts of goods.
One of the carts, the goods were in bags, and it was impossible to see what they were, and the other was a cage with dozens of girls of various sizes.
The eldest may be seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest may be only eleven or twelve, all dressed in sackcloth, with their hands and feet tied.
"Slave traders!" the owl judged, his brow furrowed slightly.
He had heard of the existence of slave caravans before, the kind of scum who would pretend to be wandering caravans, and quietly abduct the maidens who had left the land on the eve of their departure, and finally sell them to other cities.
Generally, in larger cities, there are girls trafficked by slave caravans in places such as Qinglou.
"There were twelve of them. ”
The owl had hated the existence of the slave traders before, and had even thought that when he became a sheriff, he would definitely wipe out the hidden slave traders in the small town of Morea.
This slave trading team is not very numerous, not even particularly strong, and the clothes are very similar to ordinary caravans, if it were not for a few slave girls, I am afraid that the owl would not be able to distinguish their identities.
Normally, the slave traders would cover the slave carts with cloth to avoid being spotted by passers-by, but this time the slave traders did not take the road they often walked, but chose to open a road, so they did not need to be so cautious.
After all, the wild is inaccessible, and they are equivalent to walking in the wilderness, there is no village in front of the village, there is no store behind the village, and the most unexpected hunters are impossible to meet, so naturally there is no need to worry about anything.
Of course, these are not the main reasons, the main reason is that there is a particularly beautiful girl in the prison car, and the boss of the slave trading team has other thoughts and is ready to take this girl into the account, so he does not cover the cloth, but keeps walking around the front and back of the prison car, persuading the other party to obey him.
"Brother Xiao, what do you want to do?" Suo naturally knew that Xiao was very disgusted with the slave traffickers, because Xiao Ming's sister was said to have been taken away by the slave traffickers, and Xiao Ming chased the footprints with Xiao Ming to recapture Xiao Ming's sister, but unfortunately he didn't find the slave traffickers in the end.
At that time, Xiao and Xiao Ming were too young, and when the slave trading team left, they would be experienced and tricky, and it was impossible to expose their true departure route, and the two were almost lured into the jackal's den.
Suo still remembered that he swore that he would kill all the slave traders in the future.
"Yes, of course...... No mercy!" Owl glanced at the slave trading team that was fading away, and then said earnestly.
Some people may not be strong-willed, but Xiao is very pure, every decision he makes is often from the heart, Su knows that Xiao will not change once he makes up his mind, so he frowned and said: "Brother Xiao, but there are twelve of them." ”
"Well, I know, so we have to think long-term, now let's follow them from a distance and look for an opportunity before we do it. Xiao said seriously.
Of course, he knew how dangerous this operation was, and if he missed, he would definitely be killed by the slave carters, and Suo would probably be locked up in a prison car and become a commodity for the slave car.
Therefore, he must not make mistakes, he must not fail.
He is not a reckless person, and he will not be in a hurry after making a decision, just as he wanted to kill all the insects at the beginning, he was not going to die without a head, but was ready to observe the insects, if he couldn't find the weakness of the insects for the rest of his life, he probably wouldn't make a move for the rest of his life.
The two quietly followed behind the slave carter, because they were afraid of being discovered, so the two were actually far away from the slave carter, and only occasionally hunting, the owl would get slightly closer to the slave carter, so as to confirm the status of the slave carter.
For three days, the owl had basically determined that there were three people in real danger to the slave cartel.
One is a strong man wearing sackcloth, listening to their conversation, his name seems to be Donggu, his strength is very large, the weapon he uses is a broken knife close to one meter five, it is estimated that when it is intact, this knife is at least two meters long, its blade is very thick, one knife is enough to chop people to death, ordinary knives will definitely not be able to stop.
There is also a throwing knife hand, whose name is West Sulfur, and the owl was almost discovered by the sharp-eyed West Sulfur, but fortunately, a squirrel appeared at that time, so he escaped.
Of course, the squirrel was easily hit by the other party with a throwing knife.
The last one was the archer, whose name was not clear, for no one from the slave cartels seemed to have spoken to him, but he had seen him shoot a painted leopard a hundred meters away with his bow and arrow.
All three of them were very dangerous, and he thought that he had no way out of any of them.
He himself is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that after he dies, he will not be able to survive in the dangerous woods, so he must live.
