When we just left the town, there was an obvious road in the woods. Although cars could not be driven on this road, it was not too difficult to walk. With Roger and Bonnie's skills, walking on this road was naturally not easy.
It took a lot of effort. In fact, both of them were in the mood for an outing, admiring the surrounding scenery while following Hardy.
"This place is really similar to the Green Sea Forest." Bonnie said to Roger as she walked: "But the Green Sea Forest is not so humid. It is always sunny there."
Hearing what the female knight said, Roger knew that she missed her hometown. He couldn't help but said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's all me who has caused trouble for you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have come to this strange place."
"Don't say that." Bonnie smiled sweetly and said, "As long as you are here, I am willing to go anywhere."
At this point, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling from the bottom of their hearts that no matter how difficult the future was, as long as the other person was by their side, any difficulty could be overcome.
Of course, Hardy couldn't understand what Roger and Bonnie were talking about. He thought the two were discussing the road conditions, so he loudly shouted from the front: "You two, we are going to go through the jungle soon, and the road ahead will be difficult.
!”
Of course Roger and Bonnie didn't care whether the road was easy to walk or not. With their strength, it wouldn't be difficult to carve out another path in the woods.
Just as Hardy said, as the group of people gradually went deeper into the woods, the road became increasingly difficult to walk. As a guide, Hardy took the lead and opened the road ahead with a jungle machete. Although there was indeed a faint path under everyone's feet, it was almost entirely covered by dense vegetation.
Blocked by plants, if you don't use a machete to open the way, your forward speed will definitely be greatly reduced.
"Follow this path for twelve miles, and then cross a river to reach the Temple of Laloge." Hardy panted and said to Roger behind him as he opened the road: "This road is difficult to walk. Usually I
I don’t want to take my guests this way, if it weren’t for you..."
"An additional five hundred dollars will be added to the reward." Roger knew what Hardy meant by saying this, and interrupted before he finished speaking: "I just want to get to the Lalog Temple as soon as possible. As for money, it is definitely not a problem!"
Roger's words made Hardy's face look happy, he became more energetic, and opened the road faster than before. Looking at the back of Hardy working hard, Roger's face not only did not have any expression of satisfaction, but instead showed an expression of satisfaction.
The look of thinking.
Although the guide has behaved well so far, Roger will feel a little uneasy every time he visits him. With the rapid improvement of his strength, Roger's sense of danger has become more and more acute. At the beginning, he was still a little uneasy.
When he was in the city, he didn't sense any danger from Hardy, but since entering the jungle, this feeling gradually became stronger.
But Roger is not very worried about Hardy. He is looking for a guide so that he can get to his destination as soon as possible. If the guide becomes a problem, Roger doesn't mind getting rid of him. Kill him in the virgin forest of this foreign country.
Roger would not have any psychological barriers when dealing with strangers who had ill intentions towards him.
It was not easy to advance twelve miles through the jungle. By the time Roger heard the sound of gurgling water in front of him, it was already evening and the sky was gradually getting dark.
Hardy, who was walking at the front, had already begun to pant. After all, he was just an ordinary person. He had walked so many miles in the jungle and was almost exhausted. If Hardy hadn't been supported by the belief of making a lot of money, he would have been halfway there.
I can no longer walk.
Unlike Hardy, who was as tired as a dog, Roger and Bonnie still looked calm and composed, not to mention showing fatigue, not even a drop of sweat on their foreheads. The two of them still looked like they had just started on their way.
In that way, he followed Hardy leisurely, as calmly as if he were walking in his own yard.
These two guys... are really a bit strange. Seeing the behavior of Roger and Bonnie, Hardy felt a little uneasy and felt that it would be unwise to attack these two people. But when he thought of the weapons in the hands of his accomplices,
He felt relieved immediately and used his last bit of strength to walk towards the river ahead.
"It won't take long to reach the Lalog Temple after crossing the river." Hardy said to the two people behind him as he walked: "Let's hurry up and wait until we get to the temple to rest."
Roger knew Hardy was talking nonsense as soon as he heard what he said. Night comes very quickly in the tropics. It is still bright now, but it will be completely dark before long. In this wild jungle, it is not like a big city.
Once it gets dark, everything will be dark and there will be no light. By then it will be too late to find a place to camp. Hardy's words indicate that he has no intention of doing so.
As a knight, Bonnie also had extensive experience in wilderness survival, so she immediately noticed something was wrong with Hardy. She quietly exchanged glances with Roger, reminding each other to be prepared to deal with danger.
Hardy didn't know that his behavior had aroused the other party's alert, and he kept leading the two of them towards the river. As the sound of the water flow became louder and louder, the dense jungle in front quickly became sparse, and finally the surrounding
The environment finally became clear, and a large river with an uneven flow appeared in front of several people.
"This is the river." Hardy stood on the beach by the river, looking around and said absently: "There should be a boat near here, we can cross the river soon..."
As if to prove Hardy's words, a loud motor sound rang not far away. A flat-bottomed boat slowly sailed from the river bend, with two men with open clothes standing on the boat. It was as if they had made an appointment in advance.
As expected, the flat-bottomed boat slowly sailed towards Roger, and Hardy lost no time in shouting to the two people on board.
The two parties communicated in local dialect for a while, and the flat-bottomed boat slowly approached the river bank. Although Hardy's face was full of impatient expression, he still did not forget to turn around and said to Roger: "These two are nearby fishermen, I asked them for help.
Send us across the river, but you'll have to tip them fifty dollars."
The fisherman's boat... there isn't even a fishing rod on the boat, are you kidding me? Roger didn't believe Hardy's lies at all, but on the surface he still responded nonchalantly: "Okay, no problem!"
While the two were talking, the flat-bottomed boat had already approached the river bank. Perhaps thinking it was close enough to Roger, a man on the boat suddenly took out a K47 from the bottom of the boat and pointed it at Roger.
At the same moment, Hardy had already retreated to the river bank. Perhaps he felt that he had the situation under control. This guy changed his previous enthusiastic and honest demeanor and sneered at Roger with a sinister tone: "I advise you to cooperate obediently, otherwise...
…We wouldn’t mind killing both of you!”
Although Roger had long noticed that something was wrong with Hardy, he did not expect that his accomplices would actually have such a powerful weapon as the K47. This powerful weapon is the standard equipment of terrorists and gangsters. Hardy and his accomplices
These are not ordinary robbers, they should be a group of professional robbers.
Thinking of this, Roger couldn't help but burst out laughing, sighing secretly that his luck was really bad. The guide he chose at random turned out to be a professional robber. This was too much of a coincidence.
What Roger didn't know was that it was precisely because he was very generous from the beginning that Hardy targeted these two "archaeologists". They seemed to be rich people who spent money lavishly, and there were only two of them, a man and a woman.
We went to the most remote Lalog Temple. The combination of these three points is enough to make any robber excited.
"I advise you not to move around, we are just asking for money." Facing Roger with a wry smile, Hardy said proudly: "Now your lives are in our hands, don't force us to kill!"
The two men on the boat had never left Bonnie's eyes since they knew her appearance. Listening to Hardy still talking to Roger, one of them shouted impatiently: "Why are you arguing with them? First.
Tie them up and ask them to contact someone to pay the ransom!"
"That's right, what nonsense are you talking to them about!" The guy with the K47 looked at Bonnie lustfully and said: "I like that girl, let me enjoy it first..."
The guy's words ended here. A sharp arrow flew from nowhere and accurately penetrated his throat. The man's eyes widened in disbelief, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground, followed by his whole body.
After turning half a circle, he fell down and fell into the river with a "plop".
"What's going on?!" The man driving the boat didn't see his accomplice's arrow until he dropped his weapon and fell into the river. The guy yelled loudly and went to pick up the gun. However, as soon as he took a step, he was
The oncoming arrow shot into the shape of a hedgehog and followed in the footsteps of its companions.
Hardy on the shore saw clearly what happened to his two companions. He fearfully went behind him, and was horrified to find a row of strangely dressed men standing behind him. These men were wearing the armor of ancient soldiers, and the weapons in their hands were not long.
The bow is like a crossbow, and it is eyeing him.
Hardy was really scared out of his mind at this moment. He couldn't figure out when so many people appeared. Could it be that they had been following behind? Why didn't they notice anything wrong along the way?
But at this time, Hardy didn't have time to think about so many issues. Seeing the other party killing his two accomplices without hesitation, he knew very well that if he didn't fight hard, he would end up with the same end. Speaking of which, Hardy is also a veteran.
He was a robber, and in an instant he made the decision that was most likely to save him: kidnap the woman who had no ability to resist, and use her as a hostage to force the other party to let him leave.
Hardy, who was on the verge of life and death, unleashed his full potential and pounced on his prey as nimbly as a jaguar. The machete he used to open the way now became a terrifying weapon, turning into a cold light and heading straight for Bonnie's shoulder.
Of course, Hardy didn't want to hack Bonnie to death, he just wanted to scare her. However, just as he pounced on Bonnie, he noticed a sarcastic smile on this beautiful woman's face.
"What's going on?" As soon as this thought flashed through Hardy's mind, he suddenly felt that his vision went dark, and then he didn't know anything at all, and he was completely plunged into peripheral darkness.
