The two of them made a brief preparation and headed towards the mountainous area.

The jungle is dense around and there is no road at all. They can only walk through the dense forest. There are dead branches and leaves on the ground and various vines everywhere, which makes them both move forward very slowly.

After walking hard for almost half a day, I don’t know how far I walked, Laura was exhausted and panting. The two of them sat on the ground to rest. Jiang Hao took out the fish that had been grilled from his backpack, wrapped it with banana leaves, opened it and distributed it to Laura half.

Laura took a bite, looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Although there are only simple ingredients, it makes you delicious. Are you a chef?"

Jiang Hao smiled, "I have studied cooking professionally."

Laura looked at Jiang Hao in surprise, "Why do you learn everything?"

"I just like personal hobbies. I like wild adventures. If I don't have a little cooking skills, I'm afraid I can only eat dry food outside. That would be very sad. Being able to cook is also useful for dealing with emergencies." Jiang Hao said while eating fish.

Laura agrees with Jiang Hao's statement, "I also like adventures. My father is dead now, but I think I want to inherit my father's will and become an explorer in the future. It seems that I will learn a lot in the future."

Laura is indeed very immature now, and she is incomparable to the famous adventure queen in the future.

"Drink a little water." Jiang Hao handed over the kettle.

Laura took the kettle and took a few sips. After putting it down, Laura asked, "Jon, do you think we can eliminate Himehu and escape from the Ematai?"

"What, I'm worried. You were full of confidence just now." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

"I have a determination, but I'm still worried." Laura said.

"Don't worry, I think we will go out." Jiang Hao comforted.

The two of them rested for a while and continued to set off. After walking for half an hour, they suddenly heard the rumbling sound of water. When they walked forward, they saw a cracked canyon. The crack was about ten meters wide. At the bottom of the canyon was a river full of water, and a waterfall was not far ahead, so there was such a big movement.

"It's strange that there is such a river on an island with such abundant water flowing. It's a bit unreasonable," Laura said.

"There are too many things that are not in line with common sense on this island. We need to cross the river and find out where to go." Jiang Hao said.

The two looked along the canyon. After climbing over a dense forest, they saw a huge tree half a meter thick lying across the cracks of the canyon, leading directly to the opposite side. Laura was happy and hurried over with Jiang Hao. However, after seeing it, Jiang Hao frowned slightly and said, "This is done by man-made, but looking at the traces of chopping, it should not be too long. There have been storms in the past two days, and the changes under the erosion of wind and rain, I guess it will not last more than a week."

"How do you know for a week?" Laura asked.

"I have learned carpenter skills." Jiang Hao said.

Laura looked at Jiang Hao with surprise. Is it necessary for a teacher who studies mystery to learn carpenter skills?

Well, at least it's useful now.

"Let's go over." Jiang Hao said as he stepped onto the giant tree, stepping on the rough trunk, and soon arrived opposite him.

But when he turned around and looked at him, he found that Laura was still standing there, with a look of surprise and nervousness on her face.

"What's wrong? Come here?" Jiang Hao said.

Laura hesitated and said, "I, I'm a little scared."

Jiang Hao just forgot that Laura is a young girl now.

He came back on the trunk again, reached out to hold Laura's hand, and encouraged him, "What you need to overcome most when walking in such a place is actually the fear in your heart. Come and walk slowly with me."

Laura followed nervously, Jiang Hao took her hand and said as he walked: "Have you noticed that if you walk on the flat ground, it is easy to walk out a straight line without shaking your body, but in this dangerous environment, it is easy to move distorted and deformed. Is it true that it is because of inner fear and fate that is afraid of brave people, and they are going to bully cowards. So you see, we have come here, aren't we?"

Laura was surprised to find that before she knew it, they had walked across the single-plank bridge. Just now, she was distracted from listening to Jiang Hao's words and even forgot her fear, and she came over in a confused way, and it seemed that it was not as difficult as she thought.

Laura looked at the single-plank bridge and the canyon that was dozens of meters deep again, and seemed to have some enlightenment in her heart.

"OK, let's continue to set out, but next, we have to be more careful." Jiang Hao said.

The two continued to move forward,

Just after walking out of a dense forest, Jiang Hao suddenly discovered that there were traces of human life here, and even a small path. Laura naturally discovered it, and the two looked at each other.

"In my father's notes, this island was originally part of the Ema Tai Kingdom. There were indigenous people who survived by planting and fishing. Later, survivors fell on the island. They often fought for countless years, and because of constant people joining, this kind of war never stopped," Laura said.

Jiang Hao nodded, "The indigenous people have the tradition of using living people to sacrifice to Queen Hamikhu, and survivors will inevitably fight between the two sides for survival, for food and daily necessities."

Both of them were cautious in their movements. Suddenly, after turning a few trees, Laura saw a few things hanging on one tree. When she saw it clearly, she almost screamed in surprise.

It's a person,

Those people were wrapped in cloth, with only one head exposed, hanging upside down on the tree. The corpses of those people had been dried up long ago, and their heads turned into skulls. I don’t know how long it was hung here. When the breeze blew, the corpses would sway slightly, like a string of wind chimes.

"Sacrifice!"

This word arises in both of them at the same time.

Jiang Hao took out his pistol, and Laura also took out his gun to be on guard. The two continued to explore and walked out a few kilometers. They suddenly saw a village, and at the entrance of the village, they also saw several bodies.

Jiang Hao reached out and asked Laura to stop, "You are here to be wary, I'll go over and check it out." Jiang Hao said.

"Okay." Laura responded.

Jiang Hao held the gun and observed the surroundings, and walked over step by step. After approaching the corpses, Jiang Hao carefully looked at the degree of decay on his body. An unpleasant smell of rotten smell floated out, and the eyes had become big holes, and the eyeballs had long been corroded and melted.

Jiang Hao made a judgment that the death time should be about one week.

Beside them, Jiang Hao saw weapons, including bows, arrows, daggers and other objects. Their clothes were varied. Jiang Hao guessed that these people should be villages composed of indigenous people or survivors. The wounds on their bodies could not be seen clearly, but from the holes on their clothes, they guessed that there should be gun marks.

Jiang Hao found some bullet casings next to him, picked them up and looked at them. Jiang Hao could roughly guess what gun the other party used, M16A1 automatic rifle or FNC 5.56mm assault rifle. The magazine and bullets of these two guns are both common. They also have a common name, called the mercenary favorite.

Jiang Hao waved to Laura. Laura came out from behind a tree and walked to the corpses. When she saw the rotten corpses, she had the urge to vomit. She swallowed hard and quickly suppressed the feeling, but her vision was no longer there.

"This should be a village. These people were attacked. Let's go in and take a look. You are following me and be careful." Jiang Hao reminded.

"I understand." Laura responded.

The two entered the village and carefully investigated it and found that the corpses at the entrance of the village were only part of them. There were dozens of corpses in the village, all of which were shot and killed.

"What exactly happened?" Laura said in confusion.

Jiang Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Based on the current situation, a week ago, a group of people with modern weapons came here, or passed by, maybe they had a conflict before, and then those people killed all the people in the entire village."

"Are people with modern weapons soldiers?" Laura wondered.

"The technique is very professional. I have also received special forces training. Their killing technique should have been through quite professional and strict military training. I guess it is either a soldier or a mercenary." Jiang Hao said.

"You have also received special forces training?" Laura asked.

"Haha, I know a lot of things. If you see me in the future, you don't need to be surprised." Jiang Hao said.

"What should I do now?" Laura asked.

"Let's search to see if there is anything available, and then we continue to move forward. I think this time, we are probably not just Queen Humihu." Jiang Hao said.

Most of these houses are made of stone and wood, and the construction is very simple, but Jiang Hao and the others have found a lot of modern products in these people's homes, such as aluminum woks, gas stoves, sunglasses, modern books, tea cups and tea sets, etc.

"It should have been brought from the wreck." Jiang Hao said.

After searching several houses, there was no gain. Just after entering another house, Laura found a hunting bow in the corner, picked it up and tried it, and found a crack on the bow's arm. She said with some regret: "I have studied bows and arrows for a long time. At first, my father taught me. Later, at the Swedish Academy, my sports were archery and skiing. Both of them I got the highest score."

"In fact, in the jungle, using bows and arrows is good for the enemy. It will not be as loud as a gun and will not be easily discovered. Unfortunately, this one is broken."

Jiang Hao was checking a large wooden box next to him. When he heard Laura say this, Jiang Hao's eyes rolled, his hands slipped in the empty box, and a few things suddenly appeared. Then a surprise expression appeared on his face and shouted: "Laura, come and see, I found a good thing."

"What good thing?" Laura came over immediately.

When he looked into the box, he also exclaimed, "Wow, there are really many good things. This should be the equipment left by an expedition team."

"I think yes, let's take out the things and see what they are." Jiang Hao said and began to take things out.

Some canned food, a bundle of ropes, two mountaineering picks, and two sets of bows and arrows, each with 20 arrows.

"Hunting bows, it's so great. My favorite thing to use is the hunting bows." Laura said in surprise.

The young lady hung up the hunting bow and quiver on her back. The bowstring fell just between her peaks, making her figure more prominent.
