Chapter 72: Life and Death
This person's weapon was obviously a spear, and when he was attacked, the spear fell to the side, and hearing my words, Meng Xiyao quickly picked up the spear and stepped aside.
The man was beaten by Meng Xiyao.
He was very surprised.
Asked Meng Xiyao in the local language: "I brought you rice, why did you sneak up on me behind me?" ”
Hearing the other party's question, Meng Xiyao put the man's weapon in the corner, and then spread his hands to the man.
She said to the man, "Don't blame us, because we want to get out of this place too." ”
Hearing this, the man visibly felt helpless.
He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said to Meng Xiyao: "Do you think you can escape from this place, you'd better stop thinking about it, you can't escape." ”
After the man finished speaking, Meng Xiyao and I exchanged glances.
I said to Meng Xiyao, "You ask him in the local dialect, why are we trapped here?" ”
Meng Xiyao nodded and conveyed my meaning in the local language.
Hearing this question, the man slowly raised his head and looked at me, a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "The reason why we want to control you is because you are useful to us. ”
The man still seems to have no fear.
After listening to Meng Xiyao's translation, I sneered and let go of the man directly.
I took a step back from the girl, picked up the man's weapon, pointed at the man and said, "Tell him that if you don't let us go today, he won't want to leave this place." ”
Now this man has been controlled by us.
While knowing that the person may not be worth much, it is always good to have someone in your own hands.
At least have a bargaining chip in hand that can be used to negotiate, and if the other party really doesn't negotiate, then even if it reaches a dead end, it won't care.
The man was clearly not at all frightened when he heard this.
He said to Meng Xiyao: "If you don't let me leave here, I will burn this tree, and I may die with you at that time, but I don't care, because barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes." ”
It seems that the other party already has a plan.
If the person delivering the food does not go down on time, the people below will set fire to the tree, and if the people below do set fire to the tree, we will have no choice but to die.
We were a little nervous when we heard this man's words.
In this way, primitive people only have very savage minds in their hearts, and it is possible to do anything, and if they really have to do it, it is possible to start a fire.
My personal thought is to get out of here and not lose my life.
Although I am not a person who is afraid of death, a person's death is valuable, and if you die quietly in this primeval forest like this, it is a depreciation of life.
But even if you die, you have to give it a shot.
So he took the man's spear and put it on the man's forehead.
He said to the man, "I know that you are not afraid of death, and we are not afraid of death, and if the people below really want to set fire to this tree, let the three of us die together." ”
When I said this, I was actually scared.
But we have to fight this man to the end so that we can get what we want from this person's mouth, and now we just need a tool to get out of here.
At least it didn't bother the people below, and if it didn't, there was room for maneuver.
That's what I'm looking for.
Looking at the spear on his forehead, a trace of horror flashed across the man's face.
But the expression flashed, and he immediately returned to his composure, as if there had never been a panic.
Actually, I know what this guy is afraid of, because this guy must have some highly toxic drugs on his weapon.
This guy must have coated his weapon with the venom of the rainforest tree frog, which is common in this rainforest and is a highly toxic drug.
Once the venom enters the human body, within two or three minutes, the person's whole body will immediately ulcerate.
And the process of dying is very slow, because the venom is circulating in the blood, and the places it passes through will festering step by step.
A poisoned person will slowly decay all over his body, and there is no remedy.
So there was a look of fear on the man's face.
If he was afraid that the venom of his weapon would enter his body and accidentally cut his skin, his fate would be very tragic.
I said to Meng Xiyao: "Tell this guy that if you don't tell us how to get out of this place, I will cut his skin first, and then push him down from the tree." ”
This sentence has cut off the man's retreat.
If I don't tell me how to leave, I'll let him die an ugly death, since everyone has only one life for each other, who will be afraid of whom.
Meng Xiyao hesitated for a moment.
Just as she was trying to translate the words, a gunshot suddenly rang out below, which made the three of them nervous.
I asked, "How can there be gunshots down there?" ”
After hearing the gunshot, the man looked horrified: "The experimenters have come to arrest people again, and I will go down to deal with them." ”
Hearing this, Meng Xiyao and Meng Xiyao were very curious, who is the experimenter, why did you come to this rainforest to arrest people?
"Who are they? Why did you come here to arrest you? ”
When I asked this question, a flash of anger flashed in the man's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "They are not people, they are demons in our eyes, and they are here to arrest and harm our descendants." ”
Mutilating offspring, are these people here to capture children?
Just as the two were about to ask something else, the gunfire below grew more and more intense, accompanied by screams.
Judging by the intensity of the gunfire, there is a brutal battle going on below, and some people have already been killed or wounded, of course, the casualties must have been the side that did not have guns.
The man couldn't sit still at the sound of the gunshot, he broke free and tried to slide down the hole in the tree.
I grabbed him: "Is it a fool?" If this continues, you will die. ”
"I must go down together to protect our children, you hide here, and the spear is left with weapons."
The man got out and slid down as fast as he could.
When we looked out, the man's body was like a gecko, close to the tree, and he slid down quickly.
It's so fast that we can't see how this person does it.
In an instant, the man vanished.
Amid the incessant gunfire, the two men now don't know what to do.
Meng Xiyao said to me: "It seems that they are protecting us, they may know that these people will come to attack them, because they are worried about our safety, they hid us very high, and they may have misunderstood their meaning just now." ”
I nodded.
Maybe it's because we're so suspicious, these people hide us so high that it looks like we're in prison.
But in the eyes of these people, this is the safest place, and only the most honored guests can hide in the safest place, therefore, we misunderstand these people.
I said, "They were able to hide us here because they knew that these people were going to attack them." ”
Meng Xiyao also nodded, the expression on her face was very nervous: "Listen to what my uncle just said, these people are here to arrest children, why do these people arrest children, is it illegal to do so?" ”
As soon as I slapped my thigh, I remembered what the man had just said, and three words came out of my mouth: "Experimenter! ”
"What are experimenters, are these bad guys taking these children to study?"
After listening to my words, Meng Xiyao asked such a sentence in a lost voice.
Just as Meng Xiyao was asking this question, the man carried the two children back to the tree hollow.
Now I clearly see that the man has two hooks on his chest, and the teeth of the grappling hooks are very sharp.
Why can this person climb so fast? It seems that it is because of this hook that he can come and go freely, because he has this hook as a fulcrum.
Even if ordinary people have a grappling hook, to climb such a high tree, they have to carry two people on their backs, and if they don't have long-term training, they obviously can't do it.
The man dropped his two children and threw us a rubber tire.
He said to us: "There are many enemies this time, and if we cannot defeat them, we will not be able to come up and help you, and after the battle, you can find a way down from here." ”
Sounds a bit bland.
But everyone can feel it, it's goodbye.
They use broadswords and spears to compete with these guys with hot weapons, and because of the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, defeat is inevitable.
The reason he sent the child to the tree hole was for the two people in the tree hole to protect their child.
But they also brought rubber tires and other things, because there are steel wires in the tires, and the people in the tree holes can take out the steel wires in the tires and make them into wire ropes and the like, and then go down through this wire rope.
