Chapter 64: The Widow's Town (4)
"Whew-"
Jacob let out a long roar, and his body burst out of the cave like a cannonball, and landed on the platform with a thud......
"Bang-"
Dust drifted away, rubble splattered, and the hard rocky ground shattered. Jacob squatted on the ground with his guns in his hands, his face was red and white, and he was holding his breath as if he was constipated.
"Fake! it!"
Jacobouten picked up and screamed barefoot.
It turned out that his boots had been shattered during the fight against Anthony Wade, and he was still barefoot. It slammed into the rocky ground just now, and just stepped on a few pieces of rubble.
It's a lot more sour than stepping on the acupressure board!
Fortunately, Jacob's feet burst out at this time, the black green tendon fishing nets were dense, and the whole foot became like an inflated sponge body, soft and hard, with rough skin and thick flesh, otherwise stepping on a stone this time would definitely not be just a painful thing.
The pain was only for a moment, and before the dust could drift away, Jacob turned his qi and blood, and in an instant, the muscles and muscles of his feet contracted and expanded, and the pain disappeared all of a sudden. He shook Remington's slat, and before Jacob could see the situation on the platform, he felt a tingling in his head, and then heard the clanging of the bowstring......
Shem –
"Bang-"
Jacob had time to tilt his head before a dark shadow spun around the corner of Jacob's eye and slammed into the rock behind him. Then he seemed to be whipped hard at his sideburns by thin wattles, his ears buzzed, and his sideburns hurt even more.
“...... Almost got a headshot!"
The cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes, realizing that he was almost shot in the head just now, Jacob didn't care about his image, and directly rolled a few lazy donkeys in a row, and Remington in his hand subconsciously poured bullets in the direction where the bow and arrow came.
"Whew-"
The horses wailed in pain, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded. When Jacob got up and looked at the other side, he happened to see a bloody war horse running straight into the cliff with all four hooves, neighing and falling off the cliff.
The other horse had already rushed towards the ramp, and only a little bit of the starstone's eye-catching eagle feather crown remained, and it disappeared on the platform in the blink of an eye.
"Eve!"
Over there, Eve was lying on the ground, motionless, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.
At this time, it is too late to go to the Star Chasing Stone. Because there were only four horses ridden by a few people, two of them were pulling hanging baskets in the cave, and the remaining two, one was ridden by the star stone to escape, and the other was hit by Jacob and jumped off the cliff.
If Jacob were to chase the Star Stone, then he would only have to run a marathon with a war horse on his legs. The war horse carrying the star stone and the corpse of Anthony Wade would definitely not be able to run too fast, about thirty kilometers per hour, and Jacob estimated that it would run seven or eight kilometers at full speed at most, and its strength might be exhausted, and then it would stop. If you run again, the war horse will lose its strength and even die of cardiopulmonary failure.
Jacob has the hope of catching up with Xingshi, but let's not talk about the outcome of the battle between the two in marksmanship and archery during the chase. Even if Jacob could catch up with the horse, what would it do? Jacob had a lot of physical strength from the noon shootout and then a vicious battle with Anthony Wade. At this time, how much physical strength does he have to expend when he runs with all his might? After Jacob catches up with the Star Stone, how much physical strength will he have to fight a full-state Star Stone?
And with the speed of Xingshi's movement like a rabbit, as well as his miraculous archery skills, the exhausted Jacob can only go to deliver food when he catches up, so don't think about snatching the corpse, it would be good to be able to save his life.
"Grass!ah......h
Standing at the mouth of the ramp, Jacob looked at the star stone of the ramp tangledly, and then looked at Eve lying on the ground, weighed the result of catching up, and then Jacob helplessly touched the sideburns that had been raised with blood, stared at the star stone that was running down the ramp, stomped his feet fiercely, and turned around and walked towards Eve helplessly with a long roar.
Eve lay on the ground with her eyes closed, her revolver still in her hands, not a trace of blood on her body, and no wounds, as if she was asleep.
"Phew—looks like it's okay!"
Jacob stared at Eve's plump plump clothes that were about to burst and breathe a long sigh of relief, where there was a rhythmic pause, the clothes were loosened and tightened, and the ravines appeared and disappeared, proving that Eve had just fainted and was not in danger of life.
It seems that Starstone just wanted to snatch Anthony Wade's body, and they really had no intention of killing Eve.
But is Anthony Wade's Crystal Skull Claw really a tribal artifact of Starstone?
However, the system says that the Crystal Skull Claw is a relic of a prehistoric civilization. What does this Pomo tribe, which has been exterminated by the California government ten years ago, have to do with prehistoric civilization?
How does Starstone perceive the existence of the Crystal Skull Claw?
Why didn't she perceive it before?
......
Jacob had a lot of questions about it.
What has happened since waking up from the time has become more and more bizarre, and the world has become more and more bizarre. Jacob didn't know if the world and time and space he was in now were really the Earth in 1860.
Jacob pinched the midpoint of Eve's nasolabial fold, which is a simple and effective first aid method that can be used to treat heat stroke, coma, syncope, respiratory arrest during general anesthesia, hypotension, shock, carbon monoxide poisoning, etc. Eve is now in a shallow coma, and pinching her acupoint can wake her up.
"Hmm...... I'm going to kill you, redskin...... Click......"
Eve had just woken up, and before she could open her eyes, she began to curse angrily, and the revolver in her hand was waved indiscriminately, and the hammer cracked and clicked. It's just that the bullet nest has been shot empty, and there is only the click of a hammer hitting the wheel.
"That's my corpse! My bounty ......"
She still remembered the body that had been robbed. For Eve, that's a huge sum of tens of thousands of dollars. She won't let go of her hands when she dies.
"Grass!Violent girl!Relax, relax......"
Jacob looked at the revolver in Eve's hand in a cold sweat, and quickly grabbed Eve's hand and wanted to take the revolver in her hand down, but Eve struggled brutely, even kicking and kicking, and was unwilling to let go.
"Eve, Eve, I'm Jack, I'm Jack!"
"Jack?!"
Eve looked at Jacob with murderous eyes, then at the platform, and then burst into tears, "Jack...... Anthony Wade's body was snatched by the Indian Redskin! I'm sorry...... I'm not optimistic...... That's tens of thousands of dollars......"
Jacob looked at Eve speechlessly, poked her finger at Eve's head viciously, and scolded: "You big and violent girl! You just want money and don't want to die! Do ......you know that you almost died just now? You...... The first thing you do when you wake up is thinking about the corpse, thinking about the bounty! Is money important, or is life important?"
"Fate...... Lives matter!"
Eve bowed her head to Jacob's chest and said in a sullen voice, "But money ......is more important! My life isn't worth tens of thousands of dollars......"
She jerked to her feet, grabbed her revolver and went on a private tour, then lowered her head and whispered in frustration, "Damn the red-skinned! I'll pull out your scalp next time I see you......!" How could I believe the nonsense of an Indian? How could I make her ...... I should have shot her in the head with a gun when I saw her...... That's tens of thousands of dollars!"
For the sake of Anthony Wade's corpse, the grinning Eve actually thought about it in pieces, like Xianglin's sister-in-law who died of her son.
"She can't run away!"
Jacob hugged Eve's waist and looked down the mountain with a smile, pouted disdainfully and whispered in Chinese: "If you can run, the monk can't run the temple!"
"What?!"
Eve didn't understand Jacob's words.
Since she said it was a Pomo relic, she was going to bring the body back to the Pomo...... Hey, hey, hey...... When we're done dealing with this side of things, we'll go straight to the Pomos. We'll settle this account with her then!"
How could a primitive tribe be involved with a prehistoric civilization?
What's the secret?
"Things are getting ...... Interesting......"
