Chapter 394: Your Prey Is Coming!

In the early years of the American Fur Company's monopoly on the Missouri fur trade, there were many bold merchants who dared to take risks, but after all the foreign traders who entered disappeared without exception, gradually no one dared to risk their lives to challenge the authority of the American Fur Company.

And not long after Chen Mo and the three entered the forest, a fur purchasing team composed of ten armed men with guns also set off in advance, followed Chen Mo and the three of them, and quietly chased after them along the trails they left.

At the edge of this vast forest, Chen Mo was leading Victor and James along a path that was trampled by people who often entered the mountains towards the depths of the forest.

The two little ones are like two little beasts out of the cage, completely no longer the malaise they had in New York, their eyes are all bright, their faces are full of excitement and joy, and they are walking briskly on the rugged forest paths, and the tall trees of different thicknesses are scattered and scattered in the forest, and the branches stretch everywhere, occupying every corner of the sight.

Although it is late autumn, the forests of Missouri are not as bleak as those of Canada, the leaves on the trees are yellow and green, and although the ground has been covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, the leaves on the trees are still very luxuriant, and the whole forest is still full of life.

Although the lush foliage does not completely block the sky as in summer, it still blocks out most of the sunlight, and the fine sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled light and shadow on the ground, showing a completely different forest beauty from the Canadian Rocky Mountain forest.

The two little ones were also attracted by this completely different scenery from their hometown, and they kept walking, and the two little heads looked left and right from time to time, observing everywhere, but they were even more excited than when they first arrived in New York.

Chen Mo also had a comfortable expression like an outing, walking behind him twice, leisurely admiring the forest scenery that had not been damaged in the slightest at the beginning of the 19th century.

Suddenly, Chen Mo's eyes moved, and his steps couldn't help but slow down.

The movement behind him naturally couldn't hide from Chen Mo's ears, and Chen Mo, who was walking towards the depths of the forest, listened to a rush and dense footsteps hundreds of meters behind him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a trace of arc.

Although Chen Mo did not see what happened in the village, he had already expected that after all, the American Fur Company under the command of John Jacob Astor had controlled the fur trade in Missouri for more than ten years, and the surrounding villages in and out of the forest must have been completely controlled for a long time, and their whereabouts could never be hidden from the personnel of the American Fur Company.

However, Chen Mo didn't plan to hide, just the opposite, Chen Mo's target was them!

Since the "prey" had taken the initiative to catch up, Chen Mo didn't continue to hurry, and directly waved his hand to stop beating Victor and James, who had become in high spirits since they entered the forest.

"Don't go, your prey is coming, get ready for battle!"

Just like a spring outing, the two little ones who were happily walking through the beautiful woods couldn't help but stop, and turned their heads to look at Chen Mo in confusion.

Facing the puzzled eyes of the two, Chen Mo said with a smile.

"As I said, the purpose of our visit is to hunt, but the target of the hunt is not animals, but people! Your prey this time is ten armed men with muskets! ”

Hearing that the long-awaited hunt turned out to be a battle with humans, Victor and James did not show any signs of loss.

After a series of battles on the way from Canada to the United States, the two are no longer rookies who have never killed anyone in the first place.

The two people whose special abilities were stimulated already contained a strong wildness in their hearts, and Victor's performance was the most obvious, and although James woke up late, he quickly became belligerent under the influence of this wild instinct.

Whether it is the feeling of blood boiling during the battle, or the feeling of the slow improvement of their strength after the battle, the two of them yearn for the battle.

In New York before, because they were in a bustling big city, the two would inevitably be affected by secular laws, and they didn't dare to think about fighting anymore, but in fact, on the way out of New York, the two had been looking forward to the arrival of bandits and robbers, so that they could have the opportunity to fight again.

They didn't think about taking the initiative to find targets to fight.

Unexpectedly, the "hunting" in Chen Mo's mouth actually refers to fighting with armed men!

If they make a move on ordinary civilians, the two will inevitably have scruples and resistance in their hearts, after all, they also have their own concepts of right and wrong.

But the militants are not, including James, and there is no resistance in the hearts of the two.

The two men had little contact with the world, and none of the armed men they had ever met seemed to be good people.

Thomas killed James's adoptive father, John Howlett, with a gun, and all the gunmen they met along the way were robbers and bandits.

However, the two of them understood that for the Native Americans in Missouri, the armed men of the American Fur Company were robbers, who stole a large amount of fur from them for a small amount of something, and even killed people if they disagreed.

For the foreign fur traders who entered the Missouri area to trade in furs, they were even more terrible than bandits, not only stealing their supplies and buying furs, but also taking their lives!

Killing these lackeys of the American fur company is, to a certain extent, a matter of eliminating harm for the people!

When the two belligerent children learned that a big battle was about to take place, their faces were full of excitement rather than fear.

After waiting for so long, they can finally fight happily, and they are more willing to fight humans than hunting animals!

The two immediately showed their respective weapons, the sharp nails on their ten fingers and the sharp bone spurs on their fists stretched out and grew out in unison, and the lively expressions of the two of them were quickly replaced by crazy ferocity.

As the "prey" quickly approached, the two people with animal-like keen perception also discovered their position, turned around in unison, looked sharply in the direction behind them, stretched out their hands on their sides, and leaned forward slightly, like fierce beasts ready to attack when hunting.

Chen Mo stood aside and watched the movements of the two, and shook his head secretly, his sense of battle was still too poor, he only knew that he was hard-hitting, and he didn't have the consciousness of ambush or sneak attack at all.
