Chapter 134: The Great Ceremony of Sacrifice (2)
On the banks of the Blackwater River, busy men tread barefoot in the shallows, fish covered in flowing water.
It is a traditional simple fishing utensil, cylindrical in shape, small at the top and large at the bottom, without a top and bottom, made of bamboo.
The men chase the image of the carp swimming in the river, prejudging its swimming direction, carefully timing the lower cover, covering the fish in it, and then taking the fish out through the hollow top of the cover, which tests the fisherman's eyesight and body reactions.
On the outskirts of the Heishui River, in the hinterland of the mountains, in the tropical rainforest, a team of dozens of people is quietly diving into this pure land of seclusion.
The group was dressed in military camouflage uniforms, with a male-to-female ratio of exactly five to five, led by a masked woman. Mixed in with the green background of the jungle, they don't seem to be in a hurry to traverse the area, these days are the grand festival of the Miao land, the Miao people are busy with their own sacrifices, this is the perfect opportunity to dive into the Heishui River.
On the night of December 31, 2005, a military Voice plane flew over southern Yunnan, this steel aircraft hovered over the 5,000-meter-high tropical rainforest, which was the perfect parachute landing site they had pre-selected before departure.
They successfully completed the parachute mission in the middle of the night.
At the end of the day, it was the time when Miao Min started the preparation stage of the busy festival ceremony, and they completed the gathering of their scattered teammates.
"White Tiger, should we take the opportunity to dive into the Blackwater River now, or continue to wait?" It was difficult to distinguish the identities of the group of people in all their uniforms, except that one of them respectfully inquired about one of the women with slender legs, her bare skin exposed outside her camouflage uniform.
"Let's rest in place first, and be careful when you act, so as not to attract the attention of the local Miao people." The woman known as the White Tiger gave orders, and she was responsible for leading the group of people to the predetermined location within the set time limit, but at this time, she could not go deep into the Heishui River area too early and cause unnecessary conflict.
The Miao people here are not the same as ordinary people in other places, they have a keen sense of smell like hunting dogs, and the outer tribes of the Black Miao who are on guard duty on the periphery are always sniffing the smell of the forest, and even set up layers of secret posts in this tropical rainforest, and the white tiger instructed his subordinates not to move too far away.
The White Tigers made a strict deployment plan, choosing the highest parachute altitude to minimize the noise caused by the aircraft to alarm the Miao people in this land, but their parachute landing late at night was accurately discovered by a team of Miao youths who served as peripheral guards. At this moment, the team of foreign Miao people in charge of guarding the rainforest is searching for this group of people in the forest.
The man, codenamed Weasel, was fetching water by a small stream, and a small fish was swimming happily in front of him. He grabbed the stream with one hand nimbly, and immediately squeezed the swimming fish tightly in his hand. His hand was suddenly as red and hot as a soldering iron, and under the high temperature that instantly volatilized, the little fish stopped struggling and gradually died. A smug smile appeared on the weasel's face covered in colorful paint.
"Who, who's there?" A group of Miao people patrolling the rainforest were the first to spot the group's traces, and the Miao people who led the team asked the people by the stream in the complex Yunnan Miao language.
The weasel's costume and the paint on its face had already concealed its position well, except that when it was just burning the fish, the red light and heat of the heat wave revealed its position.
This group of Miao people is extremely good at tracking and shuttling through the rainforest, and the slightest sensitive smell is bright, and any trace of foreign objects that do not meet the rules of the rainforest can be accurately and timely captured by them, and this group of outsiders obviously underestimated the ability of the local Miao people.
The weasel hurriedly wrapped the fish in a camouflage suit, clinging to the curvy and bumpy muscles. He immediately turned back and fled, striding left and right, weaving through the forest with an efficient pace. This is a zigzag step used in the special training of special forces, and on this basis, it has been greatly improved, integrating the change of Bagua orientation, and effectively avoiding the enemy's attack during the running process under the premise of extreme speed.
This team belonged to the Black Miao Outer Clan, which was responsible for the vigilance of the rainforest, and it was they who Zhu Beichen and his party had encountered before.
At this moment, they dutifully hunt down the weasels, and within the range of the mountains, except for the groups that live in a specific location, basically no outsiders will enter this place without permission, not to mention that this person is completely disguised, and it is almost impossible to see without careful identification.
They played a game of chasing in the rainforest, and the poisonous arrows that worked were shot out with special bamboo tubes, and one by one the arrows broke through the air, and the distance between the trees was instantaneous. But the sturdy figure in front of them always avoided flexibly, and there were more than a dozen of them in this group, and the clusters of arrows that locked on the weasel were scurrying around the forest, and they were all shot between the trunks of the trees on the muddy ground.
The young man led by Miao Min frowned, and watched the figure in front of him run farther and farther, almost disappearing into the trees. His skills can no longer be described in ordinary words, this person's origin is by no means ordinary, and his steps are far more erratic than that of a squad of special forces.
Today is the first day of the whole clan sacrifice ceremony, the white tiger and his party obviously miscalculated, and the four Miao villages received an urgent notice ten days ago to strengthen the guard force at the entrances of the periphery. Baihu didn't know what the Miao people in Heishui River had experienced in the past half a month, and naturally they didn't know that the current defense of the Miao area in southern Yunnan had become so strict.
The leading Miao people and young people did not dare to hold it up, and released the arrows of the assembled team to encircle and suppress in time. He firmly believed that the other party would not trespass into the Black Miao Settlement alone, and he had already done it alone, if they were a force, the consequences would be the most terrible.
The sound of the arrows of the Miao people in the assembly area passed through the layers of lush rainforest branches and foliage, shooting into the towering sky, and the sound it brought through the high air in the forest was huge.
With the location of this group of Miao people as the center, the sound transmission area can cover a radius of 10 kilometers. As long as the sky is clear and the wind is cloudless, the Miao village stationed on the outskirts of the tropical rainforest can capture the shape of the arrow in mid-air in time, and then determine the location of the team that needs support.
They are accustomed to crossing through the forest, and in less than half an hour, a large number of Miao people in their prime will continue to go to the rainforest as backup, forming a dense encirclement and suppression team.
The face inside the white tiger's black scarf was slightly gloomy, and his eyebrows were frowned, "It's Miao Min's arrow." ”
She sighed secretly, which stupid person alarmed the Miao people guarding the forest area, and this is in trouble.
