Chapter XXVII
One tribe of ogres would be enough to wipe out this small settlement, not to mention facing two now.
After returning to the camp, the Great Elder immediately ordered the camp to be cleaned up, cleaned up the traces, and set off before it was fully dawn.
This time, Huang Quan did not train Haruka, but slowly moved forward with the large army, and did not go to the edge to reconnoiter and hunt. Today, if you want to let the girl develop enough physical strength, what should be taught has already been taught the day before.
It was just dawn when a scream was heard in the distance.
Everyone's faces changed instantly, and they could tell that it was a sentry wandering around, just over thirty years old, an experienced hunter. In this rainforest, there is nothing but a man-eater that will not give him time to sound the alarm.
Still, the screams he uttered with the last strength of his life alerted the marching migratory team.
"What should I do?" Everyone was looking at the Great Elder, and the Great Elder was looking at Huang Quan.
Huang Quan looked back expressionlessly, and the Great Elder remembered that when it came to dealing with cannibals in the rainforest, he was a real expert, at least far more experienced than Huang Quan.
He raised his voice and said, "Women and children are gathered on the spot!" Applejack, you take a few people to stay behind to protect them. Flying arrows, take twenty hunters, and set up ambush points around it. The rest of the men came with me, and as soon as the battle began, Applejack took the woman and children to the next predetermined camp. Arrow, you're in charge of covering Applejack. If, by tomorrow morning, we have not returned, you will set out on your own, and do not wait for us. ”
Huang Quan's expression did not move, and exchanging the sacrifice of the young and strong for the vitality of children and women is the most cruel and ordinary choice in all the extermination crises.
"Great Elder!" The arrow wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the Great Elder.
The Great Elder handed the backpack containing the Life Stone to the Flying Arrow and said, "Flying Arrow, if we don't come back, and when we arrive at the scheduled camp, you will be the next Great Elder." ”
"I ......" Flying Arrow didn't expect this change at all.
"There's no time now." The Great Elder shouted.
At this time, Huang Quan said lightly: "The forest has become quiet again. ”
Everyone held their breath almost at the same time, listening. Sure enough, all the birds and insects in the forest were gone.
The Great Elder waved his hand and said, "Follow me!" ”
He slung his revolver to his waist and ran into the rainforest first. Huang Quan remained silent, passed him from the side, and disappeared into the depths of the rainforest in the blink of an eye.
Yao didn't know whether to follow the Great Elder or follow Huang Quan, and when he was hesitating, Huang Quan's figure had already disappeared.
Yellow Springs is fully open, silent, and walks through the rainforest like a ghost. The rainforest was already filled with an unbearable stench, and the smell of this cannibal made the tough-tempered Huangquan a little crazy.
The smell is so strong that even if the ingredients can be analyzed, the amount of information fed back has exceeded the threshold value that can be judged. Huangquan's pupils began to change color, constantly switching visual modes.
He hadn't seen the ogres yet, but he had heard them. There was a constant rustling sound in the rainforest, like countless insects and ants crawling.
Cannibals are not good at stealth, and even if they take their steps lightly, they will make noises as they go. However, these thin sounds made Huang Quan's face change slightly.
There are too many cannibals!
Huang Quan pulled out his short knife and quickened his pace. At this moment, a vicious wind suddenly blew above his head, and a vague shadow fell from the tree and pressed down on the head of Huangquan.
There was no warning of this assault, and even Huang Quan didn't notice it in advance, and the huge momentum suddenly pressed him to bend down.
However, this did not affect Huang Quan's fighting instinct in the slightest, and at the moment of bearing the impact, dozens of special muscles in his body continued to exert force and merge into one, making his body like a spring, the more he pressed it, the stronger the elastic force.
When Huang Quan's hand was about to touch the ground, the momentum could no longer hold him down. He bounced up, straightened up, and the thing on his back was immediately bounced out and slammed into a large tree.
It was a special man-eating ghost, with its arms and legs of equal length, its body arched, and its form half-human, half-beast. If it weren't for the leather armor it wore and the paint on its face, it would have been hard to think that it was also a man-eater.
Huang Quan stepped in front of the cannibal in one step, grabbed its throat, and the short knife in his right hand was already in its chest!
The short knife in Huang Quan's hand kept twisting until this particular man-eating ghost didn't move at all, and then he let go.
At this moment, his breathing was slightly rapid, and his heartbeat was also accelerating. On the one hand, it is because of the strength that has just exploded, and on the other hand, it is also because of the mood.
He didn't expect to be attacked at all, but luckily he was just a man-eater, and if it had been a few of his great enemies from a past era hiding in the trees, he would have been a corpse by now.
It was hard for Huang Quan to imagine that he would be attacked by sneak attack, he had always been the one who sneaked up on others.
Before his heartbeat had calmed down, the forest not far away shook violently, and the roar came from afar!
It's not a grenade, it's the pistol of the Great Elder!
In this era, bullets are extremely precious, and the Great Elder will never use that pistol until the moment of crisis. The battle has just begun, and they can't support it?
Huang Quan exerted his strength, one step and ten meters, and rushed towards the place where the gunshots rang out.
The forest is full of shadows, and there are cannibals everywhere. Huang Quan did not love to fight, and passed directly between them and rushed to the battlefield.
The Great Elder was covered in blood, his sword in both hands, and with a loud cry, he struggled to split a man-eating ghost diagonally. Don't look at him dry and thin, but the power that erupts is impressive.
The other ogre picked up a hammer and smashed it sideways at the Great Elder. The Great Elder couldn't dodge and barely blocked, and then the whole person was smashed into the air, crashing into the trunk of the tree, and couldn't help but spew out a mouthful of blood.
With a hideous smile, the ogre raised his hammer high, wanting to smash the Great Elder's head directly. As soon as the hammer was raised to the top, his head exploded completely, and then the uncontrollable hammer fell, knocking the ogre's body down.
The Great Elder's hand holding the gun was trembling from his shoulders to his wrists, and this big guy in the same shape as a revolver had a recoil of no less recoil than a shoulder cannon. With every shot fired, the Great Elder had to recover as well.
Huang Quan held the knife and raised his hand to stab, amputating the cervical vertebrae of an ogre in front of him. He didn't go to rescue the Great Elder in the first place, but glanced at the entire battlefield.
There were already dozens of cannibals around them, and about ten of them were warrior-level. There was fighting everywhere on the battlefield, and in the short time he had arrived, four hunters had fallen and seven or eight more wounded.
Now Huang Quan already knew that those ogres who wore leather skirts at will and could use a wooden stick and iron rod as a weapon were only the lowest level of the cannibal tribe.
Just like the steppe barbarians in the old human era, as long as he was an adult man when he was fighting, he could be pulled into battle.
There are also formal warriors among the ogres, who are taller and stronger, with complete sets of leather armor and weapons made of iron or even steel.
Next to the Great Elder, there was also a more massive and ferocious ogre.
This kind of behemoth often requires three human warriors to join forces to compete with it. The gluttonous ogre's head was missing half of it, and it seemed that the Great Elder had encountered it and had to use the revolver.
At this moment, the hunters of the settlement probably maintain a two-to-one numerical advantage, and can still compete with the ogre. But there are clearly more ogres coming in the forest, and I don't know how many.
On the other side of the battlefield, the last hunter beside Haruka had just fallen, and she was left alone to face several ogres.
The man-eaters were visibly excited, roaring, and putting away their heavy weapons with excessive lethality, apparently trying to capture Haruka alive.
Leaping into the air, the ogre's weapon swept under her feet, her body gliding through the air like a bird, landing behind the ogres.
In the face of the man-eating ghosts whose weaknesses were exposed, Haruka was naturally not polite, and in an instant, he slashed down several knives and cut down the two cannibals. Half of the enemy is gone, and there are two ogres left, and it is only a matter of time before Haruka harvests their lives.
Seeing that Haruka was able to deal with it, Huang Quan temporarily put down her side, leaned over and picked up a man-eating ghost's chopping knife, took a deep breath, fine-tuned his posture, and then threw it hard!
The slasher whirled and whirled at a very high speed, passing in front of the Great Elder, and there was a bloody rain and bloody wind in the place where it passed, and several ogres were cut off and their limbs were broken, and they could not afford to be seriously injured.
The Great Elder was relieved of the crisis for a while, his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground. He propped up the tree in his hands, panting for breath as he nodded to Huang Quan in thanks. He killed too hard just now, and he was already out of strength.
