Chapter 507 Slaughter and Gold
"Quick! Run here!" Although Loeb had a premonition, he did not expect that the other party would be so cruel. Before he even saw him, he had already made a ruthless move. His subordinates had already fallen down half in the blink of an eye, and the remaining people were in a panic. A few actually ran towards the forest. They did not wake up until they heard Loeb's shouting and turned to chase the others.
However, it was a bit too late to wake up at this time. The people who shot archers in the forest had already come out, and there were seven people in total. Each of them held a bow and arrow in their hands, looking at the natives who were facing their backs and running forward in a straight line. There were a hint of sneer on the corners of their mouths, and the movements in their hands were constantly stopped. In the blink of an eye, seven long arrows were shot out. Although they only hit three or four, as long as they shot, the other party would be dead in their hearts.
In fact, if you observe carefully, you will find that among the first batch of natives who were shot, in addition to those who died on the spot, the natives who struggled at the beginning have no sound, and the wound is also purple-black. You can tell at a glance that the arrow is heavily poisoned.
These poisonous arrows were made in the forest. They are a kind of venom of a tree frog. They can be said to be blood-sealed and more poisonous than poisonous snakes. Feng Shijie made these poisonous arrows to prevent any dangers. Unexpectedly, they were used today.
Seeing the tribe fall down one by one, Loeb was also bloody, but there was no way. Moreover, he knew that he could not reverse the current situation by just being alone. The only way was to escape to the tribe first and then gather everyone to resist these outsiders.
It was precisely with this idea that Loeb also started running back with other tribe members, but the other party was obviously prepared. Before they could run out a few steps, they came out in the grass on the roadside behind them. One of them was a Malay like them, and the leader was a bald head, carrying a machete more than three feet long, roaring at them.
Seeing that someone was intercepting the rear, Loeb felt a moment of despair. He was already sure that the other party had set up a careful trap here, and they were the prey in the trap. However, Loeb was a very smart person. He quickly judged the situation that appeared. The other party obviously wanted to capture them all in one place. As the leader of the tribe, if he died here, then there would be no one in charge of the tribe, and he would definitely be unable to resist the attacks of these people at that time, so he had to escape.
Thinking of this, Loeb looked at the people who were running away around him, gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. He suddenly turned around and ran into the weeds next to him. He was very familiar with the terrain here, and now other people have attracted the attention of the other party, so if he escaped alone, there is still a great possibility of escaping.
But before he could rush into the grass, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and then he heard a "bang" sound in his ear. Then he felt his body fall backwards, and his eyes turned dark. Then he knew nothing.
As Loeb fell, the grass in front of him shook. Then a man holding a musket emerged from the grass, Feng Shijie who had been ambushing inside. At this time, the escaped natives also encountered the bald head, and saw the sword light and flesh flying together. The dozen or so people who escaped were not enough to chop the bald head, and in the blink of an eye, they were all chopped to the ground. Except for the somewhat reckless Ertian who was rubbing him by the other party's harpoon, the others were not injured.
Feng Shijie and the others made a very careful arrangement this time. After they killed Su Luo, they deliberately used blood to lure the other party to the hook, then placed Su Luo's body in the grass on the right, and then dug a trap in front of the corpse. Brother Lin was ambushing the natives who had not fallen into the trap with six bows and arrows, and ambushing the natives who did not fall into the trap. The bald head was ambushing the back, because they knew that after these natives were attacked, they would definitely escape to the most familiar place, so the bald head and the others were responsible for cutting off their retreat, while Feng Shijie had a musket, responsible for hunting the other party's leader. Unexpectedly, Leb happened to choose the direction where Feng Shijie was located to escape, which was like sending him to his door to seek death.
"Boss, this battle is so exciting!" The bald man wiped the blood from his face and said excitedly. However, looking at his head full of blood, he looked like Shura who came out of hell. There were at least six or seven natives who died under his knife just now, and they were all killed with one knife. It was ruthless and he killed the most people in the entire team.
At this time, the dwarf holding a long bow also came over, but when he saw the bald man, he said disdainfully: "Bald man, you are too savage. Just kill a few natives. You see, you are covered in blood. We don't bring any extra clothes. Your bloody clothes will probably smell in two days, and you will have to hurt our noses at that time!"
"Go away~, don't pretend to understand. What you want on the battlefield is a momentum. The bloody my way of killing people, the more terrifying the other party will be. Only in this way will the smaller the resistance we encounter. Do you understand the military strategy?" The bald man immediately retorted the weapon, and at the same time gave the other party a look of contempt.
This is not the first time Feng Shijie and others have done such a thing, so they all seem very calm. They have long been accustomed to the bald and the dwarf. Feng Shijie also said at this time: "Okay, everyone clean the battlefield and throw all the corpses into that trap, which can be regarded as a place to settle after they die."
Hearing Feng Shijie's orders, the dwarf and the bald man stopped arguing and began to clean the battlefield with others. The so-called "cleaning" is actually to kill the uninjured natives, and the dead natives stabbed them to ensure that there were no living slaughtering them, and then buried all the bodies. This is mainly because of concerns about the plague, and also because of some large beasts that will bring unnecessary dangers.
After cleaning the battlefield, Feng Shijie immediately brought his people to the location of the Songshu Tribe, and then divided fourteen into several teams to guard the entrances and exits of the tribe.
Leb and thirty people went there and never returned, which made the tribe anxious. When it was completely dark, some people couldn't help but come out to investigate, but naturally they were attacked by Feng Shijie and others, which also made the tribe feel something was wrong. The entire tribe was surrounded by a heavy atmosphere.
On the morning of the next day, Feng Shijie and his team, who had been resting for a night, entered the tribe with only the elderly, weak, women and children, and brought their previous professions to the extreme. After losing most of the young and strong men, the Pine Tree tribe had no power to resist at all. They were soon slaughtered the entire tribe, leaving only a few girls, and then asked them to lead the way and find the origin of the gold mine. In the end, these girls were also silenced.
If it were in the past, they would keep all the young and strong men and women in the tribe. After all, the slaves are very valuable now, but if they want to return to the ship, they have to walk in the tropical jungle for several days. If they bring these slaves, no one can guarantee that any accident will happen. In addition, their main purpose this time is gold, so after finding the gold, Feng Shijie still silenced without hesitation.
Although Feng Shijie and his methods seem very cruel, some people may even say that their actions are simply inhumane, but this is the fact that no matter which ethnic group is, as long as they are expanding, they will not have any sympathy for the alien race, and it is even necessary to use some bloody means for some benefit.
If Li Yan was here, he would probably not have accused Feng Shijie and his friends of his actions, because he knew very clearly that the later Mongolians entered the Central Plains, the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, and even the Japanese invasion, did they let the Han people slaughter the land? Even the Europeans who have always claimed to be democratic were also bloody when they invaded America, and the indigenous peoples from both continents almost massacred them. Compared with them, Feng Shijie's current behavior is simply too gentle.
In a river valley to the northwest of the Pine Tree Tribe, it is only four or five miles away from the tribe's resident. At the same time, it is the origin of gold. Although the natural gold has been collected by the Pine Tree Tribe, there is still a large amount of sand gold in the river. Moreover, according to Feng Shijie's experience, there must be a gold mine with considerable reserves on the upstream of this river.
This discovery made everyone ecstatic. They rested here for a few days, divided the gold they grabbed from the Pine Tribe, and then took some sand gold in the river as samples. Feng Shijie also drew a map of this area, especially marking the origin of the gold mine to facilitate declaration in Manila.
After making these preparations, they immediately moved back, but the way back was obviously much easier than when they came, because they are now in the middle and upper reaches of the Keku River, so there is no need to worry about the problem of being unable to cut the wood. Just cut it down and let it go down the river.
It was also with the Keku River that Feng Shijie and his team's return journey seemed very relaxed. They followed the Keku River to the estuary of the river, and then advanced along the coast, and soon arrived at the position where they parked the ship. Most of the crew members were left on the ship, and there were no people coming in this area, so the ship was very safe and no accidents happened.
After boarding the ship, Feng Shijie and the others felt like they were returning from hell to the world. After taking a beautiful hot shower, they had a celebration banquet with the crew. Then their ship immediately sailed to Manila and reported the discovery of the gold mine.
