  Chapter 10 9. Ambush

   Not far away, there were bursts of cries of owl beast cubs, echoing in the quiet forest, making the hairs on He Boqiang's back almost stand on end.

  He carefully pushed aside a clump of trees full of thorns, bypassed the big family of owlbeasts far away, and took a breath when he ran to a place where the owlbeasts could no longer be heard crying.

Suldak complained that when he was out on patrol and on duty, it was difficult to meet wild animals in the forest within the area of ​​the forest farm, but he never thought that he would encounter such a powerful land beast just after he entered the dense forest to the west of the forest farm. birds.

That big family of owlbeasts gathered in the forest and was eating a spotted-tailed deer. In the hierarchical owlbeast family, family status determines the order of eating. Perhaps the cubs were impatient while waiting and wanted to break the order. This order of eating, but after being severely repaired by the mother owl, the crying will slowly subside.

There are dense branches and leaves in the forest, and there is no sunshine in the forest all year round. Many leaves fall on the ground and slowly rot. The rotten soil is extremely soft, and many branches are buried in the rotten soil. The zombie arm in the leaves, if you are not careful, you will trip over these dead branches.

Some damp rotten wood is covered with dense black fungus, many tree roots are covered with light brown moss, and there are various oily chanterelles on the top, and yellowish bracken, etc. If you can Identify those edible fungi and wild vegetables, and you can pick a large basket without going far.

This forest farm is very large, and you can still see huge tree stumps when you walk a long way along the hillside. He Boqiang hastened all the way to identify the direction, but unfortunately, he couldn't find the passage of the supply line hidden in the valley after walking a long way. Along the way, he met All kinds of small animals in the forest are not too afraid of people. There is even a leopard cat chasing He Boqiang all the way from the tree, making demonstrative calls continuously, as if He Boqiang invaded its territory.

  He Boqiang walked through the forest farm and waded across a shallow stream. He couldn't find any forest path ahead, so he could only search aimlessly along the river.

  In the dense forest, except for the chirping of some birds and the rustling of leaves, no other sounds can be heard.

After walking forward not far, he saw some bloodstains left on the rocks on the river beach. He Boqiang thought it was left by Jie Longnan, and was about to step forward to check carefully, when he suddenly heard a strange cry of 'chili gulu', I happened to see a few strange-looking aborigines who were only surrounded by animal skins and banana leaves around a huge rock by the river, eating a white scale fish.

A few wooden spears were placed on the rocky beach by the stream. Besides the wooden spears, there were also a few wooden bows on the rocky beach. However, it seemed that the range of this rough wooden bow was very limited, but there were no survivors around. It seems that Suldak and Sam did not fight these aborigines.

Soon the **** fish was eaten by the natives. The seven natives did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they stripped off their animal skins and jumped into the stream with a 'plop plop'. He Boqiang groped around, No trace of the second team was found, so they continued to explore the depths of the dense forest without disturbing the aborigines.

Just when He Boqiang wondered if he was lost, he finally found a forest trail in the dense forest. Although the road was not too wide, there were still some traces of ruts on the road. It was blurry, but the footprints on the side were clearly visible.

It can be seen that these footprints were left by the iron boots of the soldiers of the infantry battalion. After running so far, they still did not find the soldiers of the second team. The boiling blood in He Boqiang's body gradually cooled down. He Boqiang who calmed down began to think. How many natives can be dealt with.

  He stopped in place for a while, and suddenly felt a dazzling light shaking himself.

  He Boqiang didn't turn his head to check, but quickly hid behind a tree.

   While he was hiding behind the tree, a feathered arrow shot silently from the right rear, and nailed to the tree trunk with a 'poof'.

  If he hadn't been vigilant just now and hid behind the tree in time, it is estimated that the red-tailed feather arrow had already been stuck in his back, and cold sweat suddenly broke out from He Boqiang's head.

  Following the direction of the feather arrow, a figure flashed in that densely branched area, and the dark figure quickly hid in the forest.

Unexpectedly, an aborigine was following behind him. He Boqiang did not pursue the aborigine, but carefully pulled the red-tailed arrow from the tree trunk. It was a feathered arrow polished with white bones. The feather on the tail is a very beautiful red feather, and He Boqiang couldn't tell what kind of feather it was on.

   The head of the Bone Arrow has some stains, it looks like some poison has been smeared on it.

Continue to explore along the path in the forest, the aborigine always follows behind He Boqiang, whenever he has a chance, he will shoot a cold arrow at He Boqiang, but he still refuses to confront He Boqiang head-on, and shoots a feather arrow every time Afterwards, they would quickly flee into the dense forest without giving He Boqiang any chance.

  With such a tail following behind him, He Boqiang needs to maintain a high level of mental tension at all times, which can easily make people feel tired.

He Boqiang carefully observed the surroundings, and found a slightly open place along the forest path. From a distance, he saw the aborigine flashing past the dense forest. The aborigine was wearing clothes made of branches. Holding a wooden bow in his hand, and a pot of red-tailed feather arrows on his back, his outstretched hands are very vigorous.

He chased the aborigine and came to the place where the aborigine was hiding, but the aborigine had already fled away, but the sense of danger never disappeared. He Boqiang stayed in place for a while, and three red-tailed arrows shot from He Boqiang's body. When he shot from the side, He Boqiang cried out in surprise and fell to the ground.

After a while, there was a rustling sound in the bushes, and the bushes trembled a few times. A young native dressed in leaves came out from inside. He held a wooden bow and approached cautiously. He Boqiang had a red coccyx arrow on the wooden bow in his hand.

  At a distance of ten meters from He Boqiang, the young aborigine stopped. The bow and arrow in his hand pointed at He Boqiang, ready to shoot another arrow.

  At the same time as he drew the bow and arrow, He Boqiang suddenly jumped up from the ground and threw the Roman sword in his hand directly.

With a sound of piercing through the air, the Roman sword stably inserted into the chest of the young native. The heavy Roman sword broke through the breastbone of the native without hindrance, and the huge force brought the native back three steps. Nailed firmly to a thick tree.

  The young native was spitting blood out of his mouth, and he was tightly holding the hilt of the Roman sword with both hands. Unfortunately, he tried his best, but he couldn't pull it out.

  Blood was flowing from his chest. He Boqiang came over in a state of embarrassment, looked at the young native coldly, pulled out the Roman sword stuck in his chest, cut his throat, and the young native fell limply to the ground.
