Chapter 10 Chapter 9 The Wrath of the Hunter

"Are you threatening him to..." Etta looked at Ouyang Kai suspiciously, boldly guessing. "Don't worry, my sexual orientation is fine." Ouyang Kai smiled and shook his head, "I'm not interested in men, let alone such a messy guy!" "Safety!" Fu Xiaofeng wore an infrared thermal imager on his head, and sent out observation signals on a tall tree crown entwined with vines. In front of the big rock, Yasha put a poisoned arrow in front of his nose and sniffed it. He cast his resentful eyes on the native captive kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, and explained to everyone: "The tip of this arrow has been soaked in poisonous arrows. Wood pulp, they are really ruthless!"

Ouyang Kai's complexion darkened, he had heard of this poisonous arrow tree, and it is also distributed in Yunnan, my country, where it is commonly known as "the blood-sealed throat tree".This kind of tree contains white latex, and the juice is highly poisonous. It can instantly stop the heart and blind the eyes. Let alone being hit by an arrow, even if you eat the meat of an animal shot to death by this poisonous arrow, you can't survive! The captured aborigine man had recovered from the fear of death, and he had no fear at this time. Although he was still kneeling with his hands tied behind his back, he glared at everyone and muttered.

"Yasha, what did he say?" Ouyang Kai asked. Yasha sneered contemptuously: "He is saying that we demons will be severely punished by the snake god, and we will not end well. How ridiculous! They are demons!" "Then ask him a few questions first." Ouyang Kai said after thinking, "First, where did he come from; second, how did he find us; third, where is the goddess Sarina now?" Yasha nodded, and began to ask questions to the native prisoner. The prisoner became visibly agitated, staring, yelling loudly, struggling to hit his head on Yasha, and was kicked to the ground by Eta next to him. , Grinning in pain.

"He said that he would not betray that goddess. We can't get anything out of him. He just wants to die quickly!" Yasha translated in frustration, and then suppressed his anger and walked to the prisoner , reprimanded him sternly in his own language. However, a few minutes passed, and the prisoner still shook his head forcefully, refusing to answer any questions. "It seems that he has made up his mind not to say anything." Yasha shook his head in disappointment. Ouyang Kai sneered, and dragged the prisoner to the woods behind the big rock. "Are you going to kill him?" Etta asked Luo Hong puzzled.

Luo Hong shook his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Immediately, the prisoner's painful screams came from the woods, this time it was louder than when he lost his ears, almost hysterical. The prisoner kept howling for several minutes, and finally the woods became quiet.Then, Ouyang Kai took the prisoner back and forth, under the light of the white light flashlight, the prisoner lost the tough expression just now, walked timidly in front of Ouyang Kai, and fell to his knees on the ground. "Yasha, you can ask now." Ouyang Kai said with a smile. Yasha looked at Ouyang Kai in disbelief, lowered his head again, and repeated the few questions just now.A miracle happened, the prisoner didn't dare to utter an angry curse anymore, and he almost honestly explained all the questions. Yasha suppressed the doubts in his heart and translated the prisoner's confession sentence by sentence:

"He really comes from the Eku tribe where Hailu is, and Hailu is their chief. He said that Hailu followed the goddess' will and sent them here to ambush us. The reason why they know our whereabouts is also Because Hailu knew my father's road markings. Just in case, they have been guarding along the route we passed during this time. After discovering us, Hailu ordered them to raid us here, asking them to do whatever it takes Prevent us from getting close to the holy land. As for that Sarina, he said that he lived in the holy land. As early as two years ago, the chief Hailu ordered the people in the tribe to do nothing except the monthly ritual of worshiping the goddess. Do not approach the Holy Land, or you will be shot to death. Hailu also sent about 300 powerful hunters from the tribe to watch around the Holy Land day and night, not letting anyone get closer. Except for those who hold the token of the chief, those people are all holding guns. From outside the forest, only they can enter and leave the holy place."

"Is he talking about those mercenaries?" Luo Hong asked. "It should be." Ouyang Kai said with certainty, "That is to say, the holy land is now guarded by mercenaries. I guess that the holy land of the Eku tribe is probably the place where the mystery can be solved!" "It makes sense!" Luo Hong nodded in agreement. "But something is wrong." Yasha said suddenly, "In our Eku tribe, the term hunter is not called casually. It is the highest title for a man. Only adult men in the tribe have hunted the fiercest hunter in the forest. This title can only be obtained after the large beasts. Our tribe has more than 100 people, but there are only more than 20 hunters, how come Hailu has so many 300 people?"

"That's right!" Eta on the side also said, "The Eku people live scattered in the big forest. There are dozens of tribes, large and small, and the total population is only more than 3,000 people. Multi-hunter, how big is Hailu's tribe?" With doubts, Yasha continued to question the prisoner, and the prisoner answered honestly. Soon, Yasha's face became extremely surprised. "He said that with the help of the goddess, Chief Hailu ruled all the Eku people in the jungle a few years ago! Now the Eku people in the forest are a whole, and they all recognize Hailu as their great chief! Yasha translated, "he said, all Eku people must obey Hailu's orders, otherwise they will be cursed by the goddess, the whole family will become crazy, and eventually die tragically, even the corpse will disappear He disappeared without a trace. In the past few years, many people have gone crazy and died because they violated Hailu's orders. "

"Obviously, those dead Eku people were not cursed by the goddess, but infected with that terrible virus." Luo Hong analyzed, "As for the missing bodies..." "Experimental specimen!" Ouyang Kai took the conversation bitterly, "I heard from the doctor that the synthesis of that horrible genetic virus must be tested and screened repeatedly with human bodies. It seems that those Eku natives who died madly should be treated with The fate of our missing compatriots is the same, and we have become their test subjects!" "Damn it! If I catch them, I will cut them into pieces!" Luo Hong angrily pulled out the steel knife, her face as cold as the blade's edge.

Yasha suppressed the grief in his heart, and asked a long list of questions. The prisoner answered each one honestly, and suddenly kowtowed to Yasha again and again, as if he was making atonement. At this time, Yasha had been angered. Tears blinded his eyes. "Yasha, what did he say?" Seeing this, Ouyang Kai couldn't help asking. Yasha's voice was trembling: "I asked him why the goddess wanted to exterminate my people. He said that it was because the goddess thought that we had too much contact with those Chinese tourists and offended the snake god, so we must be punished."

"Bastard! What reason are you looking for! If you can't buy him, just kill him!" Luo Hong said bitterly. "What should we do next?" Etta came over and looked at Ouyang Kai inquiringly, "Should we inform our troops to surround that holy place first?" "Don't be busy, we have to go over to see the specific situation before making a decision." Ouyang Kai thought about it and made a decision. "Is it just the five of us?" Etta was obviously surprised. "They have more than 300 hunters holding poisonous arrows, and maybe a lot of mercenaries! We are in the open, and they are in the dark!" "It is precisely because we are aware that they are in the dark that we can't act rashly." Ouyang Kai said calmly, "Of course, we can't go in directly. In that case, we won't be able to get out if we startle the snake!" "Shotgun, what can you do?" Luo Hong was a little anxious. Ouyang Kai thought for a moment, then turned to Yasha and said, "Yasha, ask him, where is their chief Hailu now?" "Shotgun, do you want to catch Hailu first?" Luo Hong knew Ouyang Kai after all, and looked at him in surprise. "Yes." Ouyang Kai nodded, "We must first find out the specific situation in the Holy Land before we can take further action. I think no one knows this better than Hailu." There was a brief silence among the crowd. Indeed, no one had a better way. Yasha began to question the prisoner.He became visibly nervous, first he kept shaking his head, and then he seemed to be begging bitterly, but was reprimanded by Yasha.In the end, he was sluggishly silent for a while, and finally began to explain. Yasha immediately translated it for everyone: "According to him, after Hailu unified the Eku tribe in the forest, he united the various tribes together, and moved away from the original residence, and now lives outside the valley where the holy place is located. Now his tribe's area is many times larger than before, with a total population of more than 2,000. Not only is his own residence in the middle, but hunters patrol it day and night. As for the specific situation of Hailu inside, because he has been in charge of We may appear on the perimeter, so we don't know." "It seems that it is not easy for us to catch Hailu." Luo Hong looked at Ouyang Kai worriedly. "We have to take the risk!" Ouyang Kai said calmly, "Anyway, Hailu's tribe is distributed at the mouth of the valley, and we must pass there if we want to approach the Holy Land." "Okay!" Luo Hong nodded in agreement. "Yasha, tell him that if he is willing to lead the way, I can stop doing what I just said to him in the woods." Ouyang Kai turned his gaze to Yasha. Yasha looked at Ouyang Kai in amazement, and translated the words to the prisoner without any changes. The man actually looked excited and nodded repeatedly, as if he had been pardoned. "He agreed." Yasha looked at everyone with a smile on his face. "Okay, let's go!" Ouyang Kai turned on the intercom and notified the hound to come back. After a while, Fu Xiaofeng came out of the forest wearing a homemade auspicious uniform. "What did you say to him?" Etta couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, and asked Ouyang Kai in a low voice, "Why is he so scared? Not even afraid of the goddess' curse?" "Of course it's something more terrifying than the curse of the goddess!" Ouyang Kai said with a smile, but didn't want to explain further. "Are you threatening him to..." Etta looked at Ouyang Kai suspiciously, boldly guessing. "Don't worry, my sexual orientation is fine." Ouyang Kai smiled and shook his head, "I'm not interested in men, let alone such a messy guy!" After everything was ready, the prisoner stood up, raised his finger and said a few words to Yasha. Yasha immediately became puzzled, asked repeatedly, and pointed to the plane tree with the old chief's road sign engraved on it.The prisoner kept nodding his head, looking very sure.Yasha simply walked to the sycamore tree and stared at the sign in a daze. "Yasha, what's the matter?" Seeing this, Ouyang Kai stepped forward and asked softly. "It's unbelievable!" Yasha had a surprised expression on his face, "Fortunately, we didn't continue to follow the directions of the road signs. Just now we only looked at the road signs and ignored one point: from here on, the road signs are no longer the ones left by my father. It’s down, but they deliberately engraved a fake road sign to confuse us! We just looked at the road sign, but forgot to distinguish it. You see, this road sign was definitely not left more than ten years ago.” Ouyang Kai looked at the road sign, observed it carefully, and found something unusual.Compared with the road signs of the old chief seen before, the edges of the road signs on this tree are obviously much shallower, and the time is obviously much shorter. "He said that the real holy place is in that direction." Yasha said pointing in another direction. "It seems that we are a blessing in disguise!" Ouyang Kai smiled and looked at everyone. Along the way, Eta was wondering what method Ouyang Kai used to get the captured Eku hunter to confess, and asked a few words from time to time. Ouyang Kai just didn't tell him, making this big black man suffer from guessing riddles.In any case, now Etta has no hostility towards Ouyang Kai at all. On the contrary, he has begun to admire this Chinese "policeman". The captured hunter had his hands tied behind his back, and he was concerned about his own life and death all the way, and he did his best to lead the way. Occasionally, when he passed through a dangerous section, when he had a little other thought, Fu Xiaofeng, who was closely behind him, would come to him in a timely manner. Threat him.The language barrier does not affect the strength of Fu Xiaofeng's threat, just poke it with the barrel of a gun, it is better than any language. Everyone who stayed in the forest for one night was drenched in dew. The wet clothes were covered with mud, and everyone became a clay figurine. Fortunately, in the season of country D, the temperature is not high even at night. Below 20 degrees, everyone didn't feel cold except that they were a little uncomfortable by the water. At four o'clock in the morning, the fog in the forest gradually dissipated, and the moonlight shone down. Passing through the last mountain ridge, the captured Eku hunter stopped, pointed to the distance covered by a dense forest, and said that there is a large valley that enters the holy land. On the mouth, and there are Eku hunters patrolling in the dense forest. Ouyang Kai nodded, indicating that he understood, then stepped forward and slapped the prisoner on the neck, the prisoner fell down without saying a word and passed out, Fu Xiaofeng at the side quickly tied him up again On the back of a big tree, plug his mouth again. "Get ready to act. We must enter the tribe and catch Hailu before dawn." Ouyang Kai said, walking towards Eta, "Eta, you and Yasha stay here, waiting for us to come back." "Why? Didn't we act together?" Etta was a little reluctant, "You can't let me stay every time it is dangerous! In my opinion, this lady and Yasha should stay. Fighting is not for women. matter!" "You're wrong bro, we sister Dao are no longer women when we fight!" Fu Xiaofeng on the side teased. "Dead Hound, shut up!" Luo Hong glared at Fu Xiaofeng. "Don't forget, I am a special soldier of country D, and I am very good at jungle warfare!" Etta is still fighting. "It's hunters versus hunters now." Ouyang Kai smiled, became serious again, and solemnly said to Eta, "Follow my plan, Eta, you have to remember that protecting Yasha well is also very important." arduous task." Looking at Ouyang Kai's unquestionable eyes, Etta knew that there was no need to fight any more, so she lowered her head sullenly and fiddled with her beloved revolver. "Take me with you!" At this moment, Yasha said suddenly. "Yasha, this is not acceptable, it's too dangerous inside." Ouyang Kai objected immediately. "Don't worry, I won't be your burden." Yasha said urgently, "I have been hunting with my father since I was a child, and I am familiar with the terrain of the jungle, so I won't expose my target. You are here to arrest people and interrogate Hailu , my translator is indispensable. Besides, I also have this, so I can help you!" As Yasha said, he took off the hard bow and a bag of poisoned arrows captured from the prisoner from his back, and swung it vigorously at the crowd. He grabbed the bow string with one hand and pulled the hard bow like a full moon, as if Show your strength.She never threw away this set of weapons, it seems that she had thought about it a long time ago. Ouyang Kai and Luo Hong exchanged glances briefly, and finally nodded: "We are in front, and Eta protects Yasha in the back. Be careful in everything." Yasha nodded excitedly, and Etta beside him was also happy, looking eager to try. The moonlight was once again hidden in the thin clouds. Everyone felt the darkness, carefully checked the weapons and equipment, and then set off to sneak into the deep jungle. "Hound Dog" Fu Xiaofeng still rushed forward, observing the situation ahead with the thermal imager from time to time, followed by Ouyang Kai and Luo Hong, and Eta and Yasha walked at the end. From time to time, rustling sounds could be heard in the dense forest, and in the space filled with trees and vines, black figures shuttled from time to time...
