Dream Guide - #396 - Chapter 396 Cannibals

Since he discovered the trap, Petru walked more carefully and did not dare to be careless at all. Especially these old traps, many of which have been covered by fallen leaves and newly grown weeds. There are no traces on the surface, making it difficult for even the most experienced hunters to spot them.

Qingmu and Su Huilan each took a branch and imitated Petru’s example, plucking the grass on the ground. Shen Ran still walked ahead to warn. It was not very afraid of traps. Except for animal traps, there were very few traps in the jungle that could work on such a light-weight and extremely flexible animal like a cat. However, primitive tribes should have used strong metal traps to trap animals. folder.

Moreover, on an island with a limited area, it is almost impossible for people and large animals to coexist at the same time. Any animal exposed to humans will quickly perish. Therefore, on islands in the South Pacific, even if they cover an area of ​​500,000 square kilometers, such as Rapa Island and Tubuai Island, the most numerous animals on the islands are birds. Apart from snakes and rats, there are basically only insects left on the ground.

The traps designed by the primitive people here should be aimed at humans, not animals. After that, they discovered two more traps. Judging from the location and size of the traps, they were exactly what they had inferred.

“Damn it!” Petru cursed, but he felt lucky that he could walk through the thick fog with his bare buttocks and escape from such an island full of traps. He began to wonder if he had come here at the wrong time. God would not let a person get good luck in the same place every time.

In addition to traps, there are many snakes and poisonous insects in the forest. Although they have been using branches to scare the snakes, and they can find and drive away some snakes and insects in front of them, there are still insects crawling onto their shoes and pants.

Su Huilan couldn’t help but feel worried about Aoki, who was wearing a pullover. Petru also glanced at him from time to time. Although he didn’t say anything, he cursed “monster” countless times in his heart.

Not long after walking, they climbed up a hillside pointed by the crow.

The coal boss stopped on the branch of a big tree and looked around cautiously.

After Qingmu came up, the crow flew down, stopped on top of his head, and whispered: “There is someone in the valley ahead.”

“what kind of person?”

“They look like savages, four or five of them. I can’t see clearly from far away. Do you want to fly over and have a look?”

“Okay, but don’t get too close.” Aoki said.

The crow agreed and flew away.

“We need to find a place with a good view.” Petru said as he climbed up to a tree vigorously, sat on the branch and watched for a while, and then came down again.

Aoki saw that his expression was not very good, and knew that what he probably saw was different from what he imagined.

Petru pointed to the left and said, “There is a protruding cliff there. Let’s go there.”

Under his leadership, Qingmu and Su Huilan came to the cliff he mentioned. Although the position here is lower than the previous place, there is a depression in front of it, without the obstruction of trees, the view is quite wide, and the rugged rocks on the cliff can help shield their figures.

Looking out from here, you can see the rolling hills of the island, covered with lush trees. Since the cliff is not at an absolute height, the sea level outside the island cannot be seen, but the sapphire-like lake in the center of the island does fall into view at once.

To reach the lake, they need to climb over two mountains. Although it is not very high, the altitude is estimated to be only more than a hundred meters, but in view of the trap just discovered and the savages on the island, if they want to quietly and calmly Getting there isn’t necessarily easy either.

Aoki felt the spiritual energy coming from the lake in the distance. This energy is very powerful, but the fluctuations are very stable. If you hadn’t known about the existence of such a thing as Tabu in advance, you would have been shocked by such a powerful and stable mental power when you first arrived on this island. Because in his past understanding, mental power is the unique energy fluctuation of the conscious body, but whose mental power is strong enough to cover the entire island? If this was a person, he would be a god!

He looked at Su Huilan, who was also looking over. They both saw the same shock and confusion in their eyes.

“This is the real Tabu!” Su Huilan said.

Petru looked into the distance for a while, then picked up the telescope, with a strange expression on his face. He said solemnly: “This is not the place I was last time.”

Aoki said: “Are you sure? Don’t forget that it was foggy last time you came here.”

Petru said: “No matter how thick the fog is, I can still tell the terrain of the place I walked through. And the fog at that time was not very thick on the entire island. I could see the center of the lake while standing on the top of a mountain. The island. The most important thing is that this island is bigger than the one I came to last time. I can remember everything else wrong, but the size will not be wrong. If I came here last time, I would not escape back to the boat so quickly. “

Su Huilan asked: “Where is that lake? Is it the same as the one you have seen?”

Petru said: “The shape is almost the same. Now I’m not sure. Damn it, is there really a lake like this on every ghost island? Or is it a five-pointed star array like you said?”

Aoki said: “Don’t worry about this for now, let’s find out where the people the coal boss mentioned are.”

They brought a total of two telescopes, one on Petru and one on Su Huilan. Petru handed his binoculars to Aoki, then took off the sniper rifle and put his eyes in front of the sniper scope: “I’ll use this.”

Aoki took the telescope and looked in the direction indicated by the coal boss. There is a long and narrow valley with dense trees everywhere and nothing can be seen.

Petrou was obviously more experienced and he was the first to discover the target.

“Direction: 1:30, distance 800 meters, five targets, wind speed…” He reminded a few words, then suddenly remembered that he was not on a sniper mission, and he was not a sniper or observer next to him, so he changed his words and said, “See Is there any black smoke in the valley ahead on the right?”

Aoki moved the telescope and noticed that there was a faint black smoke floating above an area. If you didn’t look carefully, you wouldn’t notice it at all. Sure enough, a veteran of jungle warfare like Petrew was still needed.

A bird flashed through the lens of the telescope. It was a flying posture unique to the coal boss that he was very familiar with. He immediately turned the camera and locked the figure of the coal boss, and saw it flap its wings and land on a big tree on the hillside.

The crow jumped a few times among the branches, stretched its neck, and stared at a certain place.

Aoki followed its line of sight downwards and saw a depression with relatively sparse trees. The light was blocked by a huge mountain and looked very dark, so he had not noticed it before.

He saw a fire burning on the ground, and four or five brown-skinned people sitting around the fire. They wore hats made of cane and feathers on their heads, grass skirts around their waists, and their upper bodies were bare, revealing their strong muscles.

Su Huilan obviously also discovered the target. She said in surprise: “What are they grilling? How could there be such a big animal on the island?”

Her words reminded Aoki and Petru, and they turned their attention to the fire among the savages, where the black smoke rose from.

There was something roasting on the fire. Because it was blocked by the savage’s body, only large pieces of sizzling and oily flesh could be seen, which looked like white-skinned and hairless prey like goats. But would such an island have goats? Although wild goats are highly survivable, unless the tribes on the island have developed livestock farming, it is unlikely that goats will survive human hunting.

A terrible thought suddenly appeared in the minds of the three of them at the same time. Could it be… a person?
