Chapter 72: unexpected
A group of six got off the bus at the Shilan Trading Station. Six cowboys in coats and capes, and Billy carried a suitcase. John and Kane sneaked side by side, with Lambert and Dolom walking half a step back, and Billy and Nick behind.
The six people almost wrote the words "disturbing" on their faces.
"Why do they look at us like that?" Kane found that everyone around him was looking at his group.
"They were probably afraid that we would do something drastic." John scratched his eyebrows with his index finger.
"In this way, Nick, follow the Kane District to get a map of this neighborhood, and if you can, find a passerby who is familiar with this place."
"Lambert, let's find a quieter house." John gave a brief command.
A few people got the order and started to act.
Following his familiarity with this place, Lambert quickly found a house on the edge of the trading post, and almost no one came to this place.
And Kane also found a nearby map, as well as a hunter he was familiar with.
"His name is Brot, a well-known hunter in this area." Kane introduced.
"Nice to meet Brot, my name is John." John reached out and shook his hand.
Brot is a medium stature hunter in his forties, and he has a big beard like any other hunter. Sharp eyes.
"You need to find a group of robbers who committed crimes in the Tallwood Forest recently?" Brot asked.
"Yes, we know the approximate location. I hope you will show me where their camp is without being discovered."
"It's rare to see so many bounty hunters acting together, they must be very valuable." Brot said after looking at the six people in the room.
"Take us to find them, you will get a generous reward, if you don't mind, I hope to act now." John spread out the map directly.
Then move towards the location that Kane pointed to earlier and tell Brot.
"According to the news, they should be active in this area, and all we need you to do is to find out where they might be in the camp."
"I see, this location is good. Many places are easy to defend, but there are only a few places that can be used as camps." Brot carefully identified the location on the map and commented.
"How many are they?" Brot asked.
"According to speculation, they will not be less than fifteen people." Kane took over the words.
"With such a group of people, their possible locations should be here, here, and here." Brot marked the place of three or four people on the map.
"These are the right places. They won't be too far from the place I marked. This location is more dangerous. I will go to this location to confirm it first. Who will confirm it with me?" Brot looked at the six and said .
"Me." Nick stood up, probably wanting to show it off in the first team action.
"Very good, you come with me. You will get the answer in about three hours." Brot said and left with Nick.
"Is there any problem?" Kane asked, watching the backs of the two leaving.
"Probably not." John took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, then threw it to Kane.
Kane took it and sent it to the rest of the people.
the other side.
Nick has also been a hunter for a long time, so he is not unfamiliar with these places.
"Your head seems to be the youngest kid," Brot said to Nick on his horse.
"Yes." Nick nodded.
"He must have a lot to offer."
"Yeah." Nick didn't want to talk much.
"I'll go over there first." Brot led Nick towards a trail.
The advantage of the night is that you can see at a glance where there is a fire, so the two don't need to get too close, just confirm whether it is this group of robbers.
And with Brot leading the way, it doesn't take much time to get around.
When Brot and Nick headed to the third place.
Brot motioned for Nick to dismount.
Nick was a little puzzled, he couldn't see any trace here, but he got off the horse anyway.
"What did you find?" Nick asked, looking at Brot.
"See that pile of grass?" Brot asked, pointing to a trampled weed.
"Someone?"
"Well, it's not too far around here." Brot nodded.
Then the two of them sneaked in along the trace.
About half an hour later, the two of them saw a fire behind a low mountain.
After approaching, the two of them smelled a **** smell, and the two of them slowly lay on the ground and slowly climbed to the position of the fire.
There are three carriages here, and there are four people, three of whom are unloading the bodies on the carriages, and throwing the bodies in a pothole.
And the other is pouring gasoline on the corpse on the edge of the pothole. Below the pothole are more than a dozen corpses.
It seems that several people in jeans are preparing to burn the bodies.
The clothes the corpse was wearing had everything, the animal skins that hunters wore, cowboys, and tattered overalls.
"Who are they?" Nick naturally asked the group of people who were killed.
"There is a gang entrenched near the tall tree, the beasts of the Flaying Gang. They enjoy killing people. Anyone who passes by will be tortured to death as long as they meet them. They are a group of demons. It seems that they have encountered a group of scumbags. ." Brott introduced the slain guys.
"It seems that the people you are looking for are them. They are very strong. You only have six people. Can you eat them?" Brot and Nick asked while lying on their feet.
Nick glanced at Brot and didn't respond. The self-indulgent Brot could only stop talking and stare at the four outlaws who were responsible for burning the corpses.
"Come on, Kerry. This place makes me sick." One of the outlaws, smoking a cigarette, beckoned his companion to move faster.
The guy who was pouring gasoline on the side of the hole didn't evenly pour it after hearing it, but threw it directly in the middle.
Then the four of them lit a cigarette and threw the still burning matches into the pothole.
For a while, the fire lit up.
After watching for a while, the four boarded the carriage, and then drove the carriage towards the road.
"It should be them. Now let's follow up to confirm their location, and then go back and talk to your head." Brot said to Nick, who was silent beside him.
"Yeah." Nick nodded.
The two followed for about half an hour not far away, and the three carriages came to a place more than three miles away from the road, where the view was fairly wide. Nick, who was following the three-horse body, was caught by Brotra.
"What's wrong?" Nick asked in confusion.
"There's someone behind that tree," Brot whispered to Nick. And gestured to the big tree on the left.
Nick took a closer look, but he didn't see anything.
"We're going to see his camp and other deployments." Nick whispered to Brot.
"No, I can only see one of the sentries, I don't know they don't have another one, it's too dangerous." Brot shook his head.
"I'm just taking you to find their whereabouts, not letting you scour their camp for you. You need to do these things yourself."
Nick glanced at the big tree, then looked at the three carriages that had entered the camp.
He wanted to see how many of them there were so he could give John a detailed report, but Brot was right.
That's too dangerous. The perverts who just killed a group of more than a dozen people on the opposite side can prove their strength.
So Nick began to slowly back away at Brot's signal.
After retreating to a safe enough distance, the two got up and walked towards the horse they had stored.
"It should be them. Let's go back and talk to your head first. The rest is your business." Brot said.
"Okay." Nick could only agree.
On the way back, the two of them happened to meet three people who didn't know where they were going.
The three saw Brot and Nick, but because neither of them knew who the other was, and everyone was fully armed, they didn't act rashly.
The two sides left here under their respective surveillance.
After Nick and Brot left, one of the outlaws stared in Nick and Brot's direction smoking a cheap cigar.
"Is there a problem?" one of them asked like the other guy.
"When have you seen a combination of a cowboy and a hunter? Come here to hunt so late?" the outlaw who was asked said to the other.
"what do you mean?"
"They have a problem."
"Then catch them." After the three looked at each other, they immediately urged the horses. Chase towards Nick and Brot.
Brot and Nick have just left their sight.
Invariably, he immediately urged the horses to leave.
Then they heard the hurried hooves behind them.
The two looked at each other, and Nick immediately took out a pistol.
While running, look back to see how far the other party is from you.
When the three horses appeared in sight, Nick shot at the three without hesitation~www.NovelMTL.com~ bang bang bang. ’
Nick's gunshot made the three people on the opposite side draw their weapons and shoot at them.
The two kept running and dodging in front of them.
Fortunately, it was night, neither Nick nor the three behind him could see clearly that the two sides were just starting to shoot in the general direction.
"Go to the trail ahead, I know how to get rid of them." Brot said to Nick at a corner, then immediately turned his horse's head and rushed in toward the dense forest trail.
Nick hurried in after him.
Then, with the familiar terrain, Brot and Nick quickly got rid of the pursuers behind him.
"How do we go back now?" Nick asked, looking at the unfamiliar environment.
"They will search for us around here. If we want to go back, we need to make a big circle and come with me." Brot waved for Nick to follow.
Because it was too far away from the Shilan trading post, the five people in the house did not know about the brief exchange of fire in the deep forest.
In the house, several people were wiping their weapons, waiting for Nick's return.
An hour later than expected, Nick River Brot opened the door to the house.
"Head, we may have screwed up." That's what Nick said to John when he came in.
"What happened? Speak slowly." John comforted him.
"We found his camp, and they had a fight before, and obviously they won." Nick began to tell what he saw.
After listening to Nick's statement, John patted him on the shoulder and said to him.
"You've done a good job. It's good to know where they are. The rest is not a problem."
"Brothers, let's plan." John turned around and said to several people.
