Chapter 401: Something Wrong!
In the nineteenth century, the fur trade on the American continent flourished, bringing great wealth and far-reaching influence, and even supporting the rise and expansion of the United States as a whole during this period.
Now that he has the opportunity to come to this era, Chen Mo would like to experience this extremely famous event in history.
In addition, these Indian tribes in the Missouri forest that maintain the most primitive customs and style are extremely rare to see in later generations, and Chen Mo also wants to take this opportunity to feel the Indian customs and see what the original owners of the American continent are like.
Therefore, for Chen Mo, entering the forest for fur trade this time is more like taking students into the mountains to sketch, while touring the mountains and rivers, experiencing life, while teaching students to improve their abilities, and by the way, making some money to supplement teaching and research funds.
The United States, which had just begun to rise in the nineteenth century, and the primitive and backward Indian tribes in the wild forests, all made Chen Mo have different feelings, rather than waiting for a hundred years, it is better to plunge into the rolling torrent of history and be a participant and witness of history, which is what many modern people desire but cannot do, and only Chen Mo, a person with the ability to travel through time and space, has this opportunity.
And even if it's Chen Mo, there aren't many opportunities like this.
After so many times of crossing, Chen Mo already has a certain understanding of his ability, the space he can travel through is not without any limitations, all the spaces that have appeared in the past have a common feature, all of them are science fiction movie worlds.
Most of the background of science fiction movies is in the modern or future world, like "Legend of the Night", "Captain America", "Wolverine" and other science fiction movies involving ancient and modern times are a minority after all, thanks to Chen Mo's shuttle ability to always bring him to the earliest plot time, so that he can have the opportunity to experience some historical charm and experience more things that ordinary people can't experience in a lifetime.
Therefore, Chen Mo's mentality is very peaceful, he took the two small ones to walk in the forest, and when he met armed men, he taught the two small battles as instructors, and when he found the Indian tribe, he turned into a fur merchant, and took the two small ones to buy fur, it didn't matter if he didn't find it, he just took it as a tour of the mountains and rivers, hiking, and by the way, he opened up the map like a game and a jigsaw puzzle, and completed the places that were not clearly explored.
Not only did Chen Mo enjoy himself, but Vicott and James, who had awakened the wildness in their hearts, also enjoyed it very much, not only could they stay in their favorite forests all the time, but they could also fight often, feeling the continuous improvement of their own strength, and the two of them couldn't wait to continue like this in this life.
After exploring the area that had been missed before, and completing the incomplete forest map with another piece of puzzle, Chen Mo was in the mood of playing a game and opening a map, and planned to change directions and rush towards the next map that was still black.
But just as he was about to leave, a very small sound drifted into Chen Mo's ears along the wind.
Chen Mo couldn't help but hold his foot and listen intently, this sound was actually beyond Chen Mo's sensing range, but it happened that the forest was very quiet at this time, and there was very little noise, Chen Mo still heard this extremely subtle sound from the cover of other sounds.
It's a sound of footsteps!
Although the voice was very weak, Chen Mo could still hear that the footsteps seemed to be very chaotic, and it seemed that there were quite a few people.
Since he had found traces of humans, Chen Mo naturally rushed over to take a look.
Immediately, Chen Mo led Victor and James and walked in the direction where the voice came.
As the distance narrowed, Chen Mo quickly figured out the situation of the other party, Chen Mo's previous feeling was not wrong, the number of this group of people was more than thirty people, listening to the footsteps and the occasional sound of talking, it could be determined that it was the armed personnel of the American Fur Company.
However, this was the first time Chen Mo had encountered such a large number of people.
In the past, the armed acquisition team encountered was basically about ten people, and there was obviously something wrong with this "big force"!
Chen Mo took Victor and James until they were less than 100 meters away from the team, and observed the situation of the team from the side and front of the team.
The people in this team were all carrying muskets, but they were not carrying huge backpacks specially designed to hold trading materials, and looking at their fierce and murderous appearance, it was obvious that they were heading for some goal, and it was not just as simple as buying furs.
I just don't know if their target is the two "fierce beasts" that caused them a lot of casualties, or someone else.
However, seeing that they dispatched a full three armed acquisition teams, and they looked like they were mobilizing the people, their goal was definitely not simple.
Chen Mo pressed Victor and James, who had become impatient because he had seen so many battle targets, and after the team passed, he quietly followed behind with the two of them.
Anyway, the prey in front of him couldn't run away, and Chen Mo was not in a hurry to let the two of them take action to solve them, he was more interested in what the goal and ultimate goal of this team was.
The three of them followed the team far away, heading deep into the forest.
This one is two days.
As the team marched, Chen Mo gradually saw some clues, and the direction in which the team was traveling was clearly the location of an Indian tribe.
And this tribe is still a very impressive one for Chen Mo, it is the Lakota tribe that once hunted a giant bear and warmly entertained Chen Mo and the three of them.
In the end, as Chen Mo expected, this armed team of more than 30 people trekked all the way through the forest and finally arrived at the Lakota tribe.
More than thirty people began to reload when they were still some distance away from the tribe, and after preparing for battle, they directly broke into the Lakota tribe.
However, the elite and astute warriors of the Lakota tribe spotted their arrival as they approached and reacted quickly.
More than thirty heavily armed white men suddenly arrived at their tribe, apparently unkind, so the warriors of the tribe quickly took up arms to meet them, and when the armed group had just entered the Lakota tribe, they blocked them on the perimeter and confronted them with bows and arrows and spears.
More than 50 Indian warriors arrived one after another, armed with weapons in hand, and looked at the invading enemy with fierce faces.
Although the weapons in his hands were not as advanced as those of the other party, he did not have the slightest fear of retreating from them, and the bows and arrows and spears in his hands were firmly aimed at the enemy on the opposite side.
It's just that these fierce Indian warriors did not attract the attention of the other party, and the leader of the leader, a middle-aged white man with a full beard, walked out of the team with a nonchalant face, and glanced at the Indian warriors opposite with disdainful eyes.
