400, cannibals
Having discovered the trap, Petrux walked more cautiously and did not dare to be careless. In particular, many of these old traps have been covered with fallen leaves and newly grown weeds, and there is not a trace on the surface, which is difficult for even the most experienced hunter to spot.
Aoki and Su Huilan also took a branch each, followed Petru's example, and called the grass on the ground. It is not very afraid of traps, except for traps, there are few traps in the jungle that can work on cats that are light and extremely flexible, but primitive tribes should also have strong traps made of metal.
And on an island with a limited area, it is almost impossible for humans and large animals to exist at the same time, and any animal exposed to humans will quickly die out. So on the islands of the South Pacific, even if they cover an area of 500,000 square kilometers such as Lapa and Tubuai, the most animals on the islands are birds, and apart from snakes and mice, there are basically only insects left on the ground.
The traps designed by primitive man here are supposed to be for humans, not animals. Then they found two more traps, which were exactly as they had deduced from the location and size of the traps.
"Fuck it!" Petru cursed, but in his heart he was glad that he was able to escape through the fog with his bare ass and escape from such an island full of traps. He began to wonder if he had come by mistake this time, that God would not let a person get good luck in the same place every time.
In addition to the traps, there are many snakes and poisonous insects in the forest, although they have been beating the grass with branches to scare the snakes, and some snakes and insects can be found and chased away in front of them, but there are still insects crawling on their shoes and pants.
Su Huilan couldn't help but worry about Aoki wearing a pull board, and Petru also glanced at it from time to time, although he didn't say it, he didn't know how many words of "monster" he cursed in his heart.
After walking for a short time, they climbed up a hill that the crow was pointing to.
The coal boss stopped on the branch of a large tree and looked around vigilantly.
When Aoki came up, the crow flew down, stopped above his head, and whispered, "There's someone in the valley ahead." ”
"What kind of people?"
"It looks like a wild man, four or five, I can't see it clearly from a distance, do you want to fly over and take a look?"
"Yes, but don't get too close." Aoki said.
The crow said yes and flew out.
"We need to find a place with a good view." Petru said as he climbed a tree vigorously, rode on the branch and watched for a while, then came down again.
Aoki saw that his face was not very good, and knew that the scene he saw was probably different from what he had imagined.
Petru pointed to his left and said, "There's a protruding cliff there, let's go there." ”
Under his leadership, Aoki and Su Huilan came to the cliff he was talking about. Although the position here is lower than the previous place, it is a depression in front of it, and there is no tree to obstruct it, so the view is quite open, and the craggy rocks on the cliff can help to hide their shape.
From here, one can see the island's rolling hills, covered with lush trees. Since the cliff is not located at an absolute height, you can't see the sea level outside the island, but the sapphire-like lake in the center of the island that looks like a jasper plate falls into view at once.
To reach the lake, they had to climb over two hills, although they were not very high, estimated to be more than a hundred meters above sea level, but given the traps they had just discovered and the wild people that existed on the island, it was not necessarily easy to get there quietly and calmly.
Aoki felt the spiritual energy coming from the lake in the distance. This energy is very powerful, but the fluctuations are very stable, if you didn't know in advance that there is such a thing as tab, the first time you come to this island, you will definitely be frightened by such a strong and stable spiritual power. Because in his past cognition, spiritual power is the unique energy fluctuation of the consciousness body, but whose spiritual power is strong enough to cover the entire island? If this is a person, it is simply a god!
He looked at Su Huilan, and Su Huilan was also looking over, and they both saw the same shock and incomprehension in the eyes of both sides.
"This is the real Tab!" Su Huilan said.
Petru looked into the distance for a moment, then picked up the binoculars again, and the expression on his face was a little strange. He muttered, "This is not the last place I visited. ”
Aoki said, "Are you sure?" Don't forget that it was foggy last time you visited. ”
"No matter how thick the fog is, I can still tell the topography of the places I have walked," Petru said. At that time, the fog was not very thick on the whole island, and I was standing on the top of a hill and could see the island in the middle of the lake. The most important thing is that this island is bigger than the one I was last visited. Everything else can be mistaken, but the size can't go wrong, and if I had been here last time, I wouldn't have been able to get back to the ship so quickly. ”
Su Huilan asked, "What about that lake, is it the same as the one you've seen?" ”
Petru said, "It's about the same shape, and now I'm a little unsure, hell, is it true that every ghost island has a lake like this?" Or is it a pentagram, as you say? ”
Aoki said, "Leave this alone, find out where those people are that the coal boss said." ”
They brought a total of two binoculars, one on Petru and one on Su Huilan. Petro handed his binoculars to Aoki, then took off the sniper rifle on his body, and put his eyes in front of the sniper scope: "I'll use this." ”
Aoki took the binoculars and looked in the direction that the coal boss had previously indicated. It was a long, narrow valley full of dense trees, and nothing could be seen.
Petru was clearly more experienced, and he was the first to spot the target.
"One and a half directions, eight hundred meters away, five targets, ...... wind speed" He reminded a few words, and suddenly remembered that he was not on a sniper mission, and he was not a sniper or observer next to him, so he changed his words, "Do you see the black smoke in the valley in front of you on the right?" ”
Aoki moved the telescope, only then did he notice a faint black smoke floating above an area, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice it at all, and sure enough, you still need a jungle warfare veteran like Petru.
A bird flashed through the lens of the telescope, a flight posture peculiar to the coal boss he was all too familiar with. He immediately turned the camera to lock on to the shape of the coal boss, and saw that he had flipped its wings and stopped on a large tree on the hillside.
The crow jumped a few times from branch to branch, craned its neck, staring at something.
Aoki followed its line of sight and saw a depression with relatively sparse trees, which was blocked by a huge mountain and looked very dark, so he hadn't noticed it before.
He saw a fire burning on the ground, and four or five brown-skinned men sitting around it. They wore hats woven of rattan and feathers on their heads, grass skirts around their waists, and their topless bodies, revealing their strong muscles.
Su Huilan obviously found the target as well, and she said in surprise, "What are they baking?" How could there be such a large animal on the island? ”
Her words reminded Aoki and Petru that they had focused their attention on the fire among the wildlings, from where the black smoke was rising.
I don't know what was roasting on the fire, because it was blocked by the body of the savage, and only large pieces of oily flesh could be seen, which looked like white and hairless prey such as goats. But will there be goats on such an island? Although wild goats are extremely viable, they are unlikely to survive human hunting unless the tribes on the island have developed animal husbandry.
A terrible thought suddenly popped up in the hearts of the three of them at the same time, could it be...... Person?
