Chapter 740: Circular Courtyard
For decades, the old patriarch had led his people to fight against local government forces and well-armed drug trafficking soldiers, but he had never seen a soldier as calm as the soldiers in front of him, so calm in the midst of a heavy encirclement, unconcerned about walking across the undulating, violently shaking bridge.
The old patriarch turned around and walked through the woods towards the building with bright torches, Wan Lin and his party looked carefully in front as they walked, this tribe did not seem to be big, there were about hundreds of low houses in the round building, and there were stones of different sizes piled up outside the round building, wrapping the circular courtyard, like a round bunker.
Wan Lin nodded quietly, only a nation that has experienced countless killings and wars will build their homeland like a bunker, this is a nation that must not be insulted, and a respect gradually rose in his heart.
The old patriarch and the two strong men behind him took the lead in walking to the gate of the circular courtyard, in the dark, the sturdy leopard who had been nearly two meters long suddenly came out of the door, walked to the old patriarch and rubbed the patriarch's trouser leg, and then sniffed hard, as if smelling something that made it alert, and suddenly turned his head, and suddenly a pale green light suddenly appeared in his eyes, looking at Wan Lin and the action team members behind.
The team members were taken aback when they suddenly saw such a big leopard suddenly come out. Wan Lin stopped and looked at this huge leopard carefully, and saw that it was tall, with beautiful lines and agile movements, two ringed eyes fluorescing in the dark, the fur color of the body was bright, and the apricot yellow body was covered with black spots, the spots were oval, like plum blossoms dotted on the body, quite like ancient copper coins, and the appearance was fierce and agile.
"Golden Leopard!" Wan Lin recognized this fierce beast that was very rare in the mountains and forests at a glance, and he could occasionally see this fierce animal in the mountains of his hometown, and he quickly glanced back at Xiao Ya and Lingling, who were holding two leopards.
In order to prevent the two leopards from causing trouble, Xiaoya and Lingling had already held Xiaohua and Xiaobai in their arms, and at this time they saw the huge leopard looking over here, and suddenly a red basket and two rays of light flashed in their eyes, and the two hind legs were about to jump out of the arms of Xiaoya and the two.
Xiao Ya and Lingling hugged them tightly and reached out to press their heads into their arms. The huge leopard beside the patriarch suddenly saw the flashing red and blue beams, his body shook violently, and his waist immediately tensed, looking nervous.
The old patriarch felt the change in the leopard, looked down at the leopard who was on full alert in surprise, and then turned his head to look at Wan Lin and the action team members behind him, and saw that they were all low muzzles and there was nothing abnormal, so he bent down and touched the leopard's head, raised his feet and walked towards the courtyard.
The fierce leopard saw his master walking towards the courtyard, looked around with his eyes, and saw that he didn't see the two dazzling lights again, so he raised his eyes and stared at the strange action team member in front of him viciously, and turned around and followed the patriarch towards the courtyard.
Wan Lin watched the leopard leave, and his nervousness immediately relaxed. He was really worried that his little leopard would jump out and clean up the big leopard just now, and he didn't know what kind of mess was going to happen at that time? It depends on the owner to beat the dog, let alone clean up a mighty leopard.
He glanced up at the spacious courtyard gate, and saw two huge leopard heads carved into the courtyard walls on either side of the gate, exactly the same as the leopard head tattooed on Abu's right arm.
It seems that the life of this tribe really worships the agility and ferocity of the leopard, and this leopard spirit has also penetrated into the spirit of all the scimitar people, and their every move shows the agility and ferocity of the leopard all the time, and even the patriarch is followed by a brave leopard.
Wan Lin raised his feet and walked towards the courtyard, and the action team members also walked in. There are hundreds of houses built on the edge of the circular courtyard, dozens of torches are lit on the pillars in front of the house, the courtyard is illuminated by the blazing firelight, the courtyard is paved with stones, and there is no water in the courtyard in the torrential rain just now.
Entering the courtyard, the members of the action team immediately stood in groups, holding guns in both hands, charging down with muzzles, facing all directions of the courtyard, each with a blank face, their eyes vigilantly looking around, and naturally forming horns with each other.
There were seven Taishi chairs placed outside the room opposite the courtyard gate, and a tiger skin was covered on the middle chair, which was obviously the patriarch's special seat. Behind each of the other six chairs stood an elder, presumably a tribal elder.
On the steps of the circular room, nearly a hundred strong indigenous men armed with automatic rifles and scimitars were scattered, and on the circular pillars were flaming torches, and the scimitars in the hands of scimitar warriors shimmered in the firelight.
The more than 100 scimitar fighters who escorted the team into the squad were also scattered around, holding scimitars in their hands or holding automatic rifles, all nervously facing the operatives.
The patriarch strode over to the tiger skin chair and stopped, waved his hand at several old men, and turned to sit down in the chair. The huge leopard immediately walked in front of the patriarch, turned his head and looked at Wan Lin and his party vigilantly, and saw that there was still no red and blue light that flashed just now, so he relaxed and lay in front of the old patriarch, and the green light in his eyes stared coldly at the group of uninvited guests in front of him.
Several old men sat on the chairs, each of them had a cold face without a trace of expression, two big hands with exposed green tendons were as steady as a rock on the armrests on both sides of the Taishi chair, the vicissitudes of life were engraved with the marks left by the years, and the faces of the two elders still had deep scars, showing that this was a group of fighters who had experienced blood, rain, wind and frost.
Wan Lin and the guide Lao Liu stood quietly in front of the patriarch, and Abu stood beside Wan Lin. Six or seven meters behind him stood Wind Dao and Hong Tao at a distance, and behind them were scattered various battle groups, facing each other and standing in different directions.
The old patriarch turned his head and said a few words to several old men, and raised his hand to Abu as he spoke, as if to explain the relationship between Abu and this group of people, and several old men whispered a few words, as if discussing how to deal with the group of people in front of them.
The patriarch and several of the elders of the human clan discussed for a while, then turned around, stared at Wan Lin with both eyes and said in the local language, "Order your men to lay down their weapons!" Abu's face changed, and he hurriedly translated it for Wan Lin.
Wan Lin's eyes immediately flashed when he heard this, and his eyes stared at the old patriarch and said, "We are soldiers, and a real soldier will never put down the weapons in his hands!" I hope you understand", Abu translated Wan Lin's words word by word.
"Smack!" The patriarch's eyes flashed, and he slapped the handrail and stood up, "brushing" the surrounding clansmen immediately raised the weapons in their hands, and at the same time, the low-hanging muzzle of the squad was raised suddenly, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the surroundings.
