402, the laughter of the Grim Reaper

The savages whispered, and the five savages dispersed into an arc, each holding a spear or stick in his hand, and the captain of the savage drew his scimitar.

The sunlight that came in through the gaps in the dense foliage shone on the blade, reflecting a dazzling white light. This is indeed an iron knife, and it is made of modern technology, and it is by no means something that should be found in primitive tribes.

Aoki saw that Captain Savage's nose was still blowing, and knew that he had smelled an unfamiliar smell, and he didn't know if it was from his own body or Su Huilan's body.

He glanced at Su Huilan and suddenly remembered that her hypnotic ability was a kind of hypnotic technique that stimulated the olfactory nerve center of the brain. Although the consciousness of these savages is indifferent to the mental disturbances of the outside world, this stimulus exists objectively, and their brain structure is never different from that of ordinary people. Therefore, they must have smelled this strange scent. Of course, the average person would never think of anything when they smell a little scent, but this savage captain is obviously sensitive and experienced, and he may have found that this smell has never been seen on the island.

Aoki didn't know what the combat power of the savages was, and in the case that the spiritual power didn't work, it might not be easy for him and Su Huilan to deal with five savages. Of course, they had guns on them, but if they fired, would they alarm the group of savages who were burning in front of them, and thus hurt the kidnapped hostages?

The hostage was the only way they could find out what was going on, and it was probably a member of the expedition. He felt that he could not risk putting him in danger, although Petru was watching from the mountains and could shoot at any time, but with his character, he might not take the safety of the hostages seriously, and he would not shoot rashly until Aoki and Su Huilan gave the signal, unless there were special circumstances.

Aoki took out the dagger hidden on his body, then glanced at Su Huilan, and pointed to the gun on her body, meaning: I'll go first, if I'm in danger, you will shoot.

Su Huilan understood what he meant, nodded at him, silently raised the muzzle of the slightly charged gun, and held the safety of the bolt with her left hand, ready to jump out and shoot at any time.

Just as the wild people approached cautiously and Aoki was about to rush out and do his job, there was a bang of gunfire in the woods ahead, and the birds perched on the trees scattered and fled.

The sound of the gunfire sounded terrible in the silence of the woods, and several of the wild men jumped up in fright, and all but the captain sat down on the ground, and then rolled and crawled in a panic to find a place to hide.

Then, a second gunshot rang out.

The direction in which Aoki listened to the sound was where they were going to go.

Who will shoot it?

The foot they saw on the mountain in the shoes of the Pathfinder was supposed to be a modern man who had been caught by the wildlings. Because that location was in the field of vision of the wildlings roasting the fire, the wildlings would not have turned a blind eye if they had not been tied up, or had been injured and had lost the ability to resist.

Could it be the man who fired the gun after breaking free of the rope?

Aoki didn't think it was likely. Judging from the reactions of these savages in front of them, they are really scared, they should have seen the power of guns, so when a savage catches a modern person, it is impossible not to search for the weapons on the person, especially the gun.

Is it the wild man who plays with the gun himself? It's possible.

But the next third gunshot made Aoki dismiss the speculation. The third shot came from the mountain, because it was far away, and the gunfire was not as loud as the first two shots.

Aoki was almost certain that it was Petrux who was shooting. Petru wouldn't have shot for no reason, something must have happened.

The Savage Captain was much calmer than his men, and after looking left and right for a moment, making sure that the danger was not here, he cried out. The rest of the savages regrouped to his side and obeyed his commands.

At this time, Petru on the hill fired another shot.

This time, the savages did not panic. The captain of the savages looked solemn, pointed in the direction where the gunfire came from, and then said a few words.

The group of wildlings split into two teams, one of whom ran back in the direction they had come, whining as he ran. It was not long before the man ran away and disappeared, and only the whistling still came from the woods, and the whistling of the other side of the mountain also sounded, and they were in harmony with each other, one after another, and they went on and on, and I don't know how far they went.

Aoki knew that they were delivering a message, and it wouldn't be long before a large number of wild people arrived. But the guy was running so fast that he didn't have time to stop him, so he had to go with him.

The remaining four savages, led by the captain, ran towards the valley ahead. Aoki and Su Huilan glanced at each other, and then followed the direction of the four savages.

They always kept a close distance from the savages, and with the savages leading the way, they didn't have to worry about traps anymore, just follow the footsteps of the savages.

After chasing like this for a while, the wild man in front of him stopped. Aoki smelled the faint smell of fireworks and roasted meat, and knew that they had arrived at their destination.

Aoki and Su Huilan quietly approached, and at this moment those wild men were in shock, so they didn't notice the stalker behind them at all.

The branches of the fire had burned out, and only a few remnants of the fire remained, and the rising ash smoke had blackened the meat roasted on the shelves, but the shape of the human limbs could still be discerned, especially one of the hanging arms.

There were five corpses lying on the ground, one of which was on the edge of the fire, probably the first to be shot.

The hostages captured by the wild men are gone, and Aoki looks around the surrounding trees, but he doesn't find the coal boss.

The captain of the savages screamed at the corpses all over the ground, and the only female savage suddenly rushed over, grabbed one of the corpses, and shook it vigorously, muttering something in her mouth, and her voice was faintly crying. Captain Savage went over and patted her on the back, and she turned her head, her red eyes filled with sorrow and anger, and then they were covered with unwillingness and strong killing intent.

Aoki guessed that the person lying on the ground was her relative, perhaps her husband, or her brother, or maybe even a child.

The woman got up from the ground, raised her spear, shook her two big sagging black, and howled in rage. The wildlings next to her were also infected by her actions, and they followed suit, raising their bows and spears in their hands, and shouting the Avenger's declaration in their language.

Only their captain was calm, looking around vigilantly with cold eyes.

However, even if he had learned the power of a gun, he would never have imagined that such a weapon could fly a distance of a thousand kilometers and kill him across an entire valley.

A bullet flew from outside the forest, without a whistling sound, without dazzling brilliance, as if the hand of death suddenly appeared in the void, shattering the skull of the savage captain's eyebrows with a pop and burrowing into his brain.

When his body leaned back and fell to the ground, people heard the sound of gunfire from the mountains in the distance, through the dense forest and the valley, with some echoes, like the laughter of death, ethereal and mysterious.
