Amu followed a group of hunters and trekked through the forest for several hours, gradually going deeper into the forest.
There is no way to go here, everyone is climbing in the bushes.
It was very quiet under the shade of tall trees. Only a few sharp and short bird calls could be heard occasionally, and the rest was the clatter of people walking.
Along the way, Amu hadn't even encountered an animal, let alone a tiger. However, seeing the group of hunters around him becoming more and more serious and careful, Amu figured it wouldn't be far away.
Kane walked struttingly in front, occasionally glancing at Amu who was following them.
Beside him, a young hunter gestured to Kane and glanced at Amu with fierce eyes, indicating whether he wanted to kill that annoying soldier here.
They hunters, just like the free folk living in Sherwood Forest in Nottingham, were extremely disgusted with the government and tax collectors, and had many conflicts in the past.
Kane curled his lips helplessly, shook his head again, and whispered: "Now is not the time."
"How long do we have to wait?" the man said impatiently.
"Now, don't worry, I guarantee this kid won't be able to get out of this forest today."
Several hunters around Kane smiled ferociously at the same time, looking at Amu as if they were looking at a chicken. Along the way, they kept talking to Amu. It was obvious that this soldier had good physical fitness, but he was not a good person.
It's very simple, not cunning enough at all.
This group of hunters found out a lot about things in Caribbean City, but if they tried to find out more about the true status of the army in the city, Amu would always say "no comment."
They are forced to memorize this kind of military discipline during military training. There are even evil-minded instructors who dress up as civilians to play fishing and enforce laws. They deliberately induce them to make mistakes during holidays such as rest days, and then arrest them and punish them severely.
Dayton.
At this time, everyone suddenly heard a loud roar.
"Ah woo~~" The voice was loud and majestic, full of a frightening sense of oppression.
The hunters suddenly became nervous. They took off their bows, arrows and ropes and looked at their leader, Kane.
Kane shook the big knife in his hand and shouted: "Dwarf, Old Bear, you bring people up from both sides and drive that beast over to me.
Everyone else, follow me~!"
The hunters shouted excitedly and started running quickly.
Although Amu had never heard the roar of a tiger, this roar made him feel frightened for a while.
Amu immediately took the rifle in his hand, pulled the bolt with a clatter, loaded the bullet, placed his finger tightly on the trigger guard, and watched the surroundings vigilantly.
Seeing the hunters running towards the forest, Amu immediately followed them.
But within a few minutes, Amu found that he could no longer see these hunters. They all disappeared behind dense forests, but their shouts could still be heard.
Ammu didn't think much about it. He followed the direction of the sound and chased it.
Not long after, another loud roar came. Judging from the sound, the tiger was not far away.
Amu clenched his weapon nervously, his palms soaked with sweat. His eyes were staring at the direction of the sound. He was the only one around. Amu's heart was beating nervously, and the sound of "dong dong dong" sounded like
He can hear it himself.
The roars of hunters came from the dense forest ahead.
"Drive it over."
"It's going towards you, be careful."
"Block it, block it, drive it over."
At the same time, there were several rapid tiger roars, and it was obvious that the hunters were closing in on the tiger.
Amu hurriedly ran in the direction of the sound. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the trees in front of him suddenly shook, accompanied by "whooshing" sounds. It made Amu feel as if there was a locomotive hidden in it.
.
"The tiger is running this way." Amu quickly judged in his mind, raised his rifle and moved away from the place where the bushes were swinging.
As soon as he opened the safety, a huge beast jumped out of the bushes.
Amu had never seen such a ferocious beast before, and was stunned for a moment.
This tiger was four to five meters long. It was not much shorter than Ah Mu when it stood. It had a pair of huge eyes that glared fiercely at Ah Mu, and let out a deep roar from its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth.
Tiger didn't expect there was another person here, so he paused for a moment.
Amu was so frightened that his mind went blank for a moment, and he stared blankly at the tiger that was only a few steps away from him.
The tiger suddenly roared and jumped towards Amu. It had been chased by a group of hunters for a long time and was very angry.
Amu subconsciously raised the rifle and pulled the trigger.
There was a loud gunshot, and the tiger leaping in the air suddenly shook, twisted in the air, and fell to the ground halfway.
Ammu didn't know if he had hit the target with this shot. He only had one thought in his mind right now, escape~!
Under the instinctive tendency, Amu jumped up, turned around and ran back, using all his strength to feed himself, he ran like crazy.
There was an angry tiger roar from behind, and the tiger, which was shot by Amu, was chasing after him.
Amu was frightened out of his mind at this moment, but he still did not forget to load the rifle while running.
One man, one tiger, one running away and one chasing after him, Amu ran wildly without knowing the direction, and the trees on both sides retreated like flying, leaving all the hunters behind.
But this is a forest after all, not a training ground. Suddenly, Amu missed his footing and stumbled to the ground, rolling twice.
Before Amu could get up, the huge tiger roared and jumped down from the air. It jumped above Amu, its huge mouth was eager to bite Amu's head into pieces.
Amu raised the rifle in his hand in a panic. Before he could take aim, the tiger's big mouth had already stretched out in front of Amu's face. A fishy smell came out. Amu was almost suffocated by the smoke. He closed his eyes subconsciously.
, I thought to myself: I'm dead... If I had known that I wouldn't be able to do this, what would I have done?
"Bang" a gunshot sounded.
A huge body hit Amu so hard that he couldn't breathe.
At this time, Amu was still thinking that he was not on the battlefield. He didn't know whether the army would pay him a pension. If it did, would it be enough for his mother's livelihood?
Ammu thought a lot at that moment, but he didn't take the bite he expected.
It seems...it seems like the tiger didn't eat him?
Ten seconds later, Amu slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the tiger's bloody maw in front of his face.
Amu screamed loudly and struggled desperately, kicking and beating to get free.
But the tiger's huge head remained motionless.
Amu looked at the tiger head lying on his chest in surprise. At this moment, his mind didn't know what happened.
"Did you really kill the tiger? This is a tiger king~!" Suddenly there was an exclamation from the side, and a young hunter appeared next to him with a spear. He looked at the motionless tiger lying on Amu in surprise.
Eyeballs can jump out of their sockets.
Only then did Amu slowly wake up. His last shot killed the tiger. He moved the tiger's head away with force, broke away from the tiger's body, stood up holding the rifle, gasped for air, and looked at the ground in disbelief.
tiger.
A blood hole as big as a bowl was exposed on the top of the tiger's head, revealing the bones and flesh inside.
Amu, who was still in shock, stared blankly at the wound, then looked at the rifle in his hand, and murmured: "Did I do it?"
The young hunter stared at the corpse of the tiger king on the ground. There was a greedy look in his eyes. This tiger was full of treasures. It could be worth a lot of money, especially if it could marry the daughter of the village chief's family. Nothing could be done about it.
The stupid soldier took it away.
The hunter looked around and saw that there were only two of them here. Others were catching up from behind. He sneered, then looked at Ammu who was in a daze and said: "I didn't expect you to catch up, but..."
The hunter stepped closer to Amu and said with a ferocious smile: "You have no chance of surviving."
As he spoke, he turned his wrist, revealing a shoulder hidden under his hand, and pierced Amu's heart.
Amu didn't expect that this guy would suddenly attack him. He watched in horror as the cold light of the sharp knife rushed towards his heart, and then...
Suddenly stopped.
The tip of the knife was pressed against Amu's chest, but it couldn't penetrate anyway.
The young hunter looked at the knife in his hand in surprise and couldn't figure out what was going on?
Is this kid still wearing armor under his clothes?
Amu also stared blankly at the knife on his chest, suddenly realizing that this man was trying to kill him, but was blocked by his Zhibao lighter.
"Go to hell~!" The hunter stabbed him with his knife again.
This time Amu reacted and almost instinctively clamped the hunter's knife-holding hand, took a sudden step forward, and got close to the hunter. He pulled out his bayonet with his right hand and stabbed it hard into the hunter's waist and ribs.
The bayonet penetrated deeply into the hunter's body, and he was shaken violently as if he had taken in a breath of cold air. His eyes looked at Amu with confusion and fear.
Only then did Amu realize that he had killed someone.
Although he was the one who attacked him first, but... he killed someone~!
While he was still in a daze, there was a burst of noise next to him, and someone yelled: "Here~!"
"Oh my God, he killed the second child, he killed the second child of the Kane family~!"
"Kill this boy to avenge my second brother~!"
The hunters who arrived roared and rushed forward. Amu dropped the bayonet and the body, turned around and ran away.
The jungle immediately became extremely noisy, and the angry hunters searched for traces of Amu, but it was too easy to hide a person in this jungle.
When the sky turned dark, Amu emerged from the woods and ran towards home.
But there were several hunters lying in wait at the entrance of the village.
When Kane saw Amu, his son-killing enemy, his eyes immediately turned red, and he roared and rushed forward with a big knife.
Ammu suddenly saw this group of people, who were blocking them in front and pursuing soldiers behind them. He hurriedly turned around and ran away again, but suddenly stopped.
At the intersection, a group of soldiers were walking towards us with long strides. They were wearing military uniforms that Amu was familiar with.
The leader, Sylvie, saw Amu first. He was so angry that he flicked his general hat, stepped forward, grabbed Amu's collar, and shouted with spittle: "Corporal Amu, you didn't return after your due date."
Battalion, do you know that this is a violation of military discipline in your eyes~!"
But Amu breathed a sigh of relief and said anxiously: "Someone wants to kill me~!"
"What's going on?"
A shout came from behind: "Kill that boy~!"
Sylvie let go of Amu's collar and said, "What's going on? Forget it, I'll explain it later."
A group of more than a dozen hunters were charging towards them in a menacing manner, all waving weapons in their hands.
Sylvie's eyes turned cold and she said, "Is it this group of people? Everyone is here, ready to fight."
A squad of soldiers left and raised their weapons, aiming at the rapidly approaching hunter.
Amu took a breath and said: "In the woods, someone wanted to kill me, but I killed them. They were in a group."
Sylvie nodded, pushed Amu aside, and shouted loudly: "The army is doing business. Idle people stop."
Kane was already blinded by hatred at this time. He was his favorite son. He shouted loudly and said: "Fuck you, your officers and soldiers are justified in killing. Brothers, kill them for me~!"
"
A group of people rushed towards them fiercely, obviously not taking these seven or eight people seriously.
Although Sylvie hadn't figured out the situation yet, he couldn't help but hesitate and raised his weapon decisively. He shouted loudly: "Aim and shoot!"
"Bang...bang~!"
There was a neat burst of gunfire. Five or six of the hunters rushing in front fell down. The others stopped immediately and looked at the soldiers on the opposite side in horror.
Sylvie stared at them coldly, raised his arms again, and shouted loudly: "Put down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed~!"
"Fuck you~!"
The crowd of hunters just shouted, and then a crisp gunshot rang out, and the person who spoke fell down in response.
At this time, everyone else dropped their weapons and knelt down obediently.

In the dark room, a stooped old man was sitting at the table, stroking his forehead with one hand and looking at the documents in front of him melancholy.
The table was extremely gorgeous, made of the finest walnut wood, with golden patterns on the corners. It highlighted the unique elegance and elegance of Victorian furniture.
At the same time, it also showed the noble status of the owner.
The table was filled with various documents, almost every one of them was stamped with the unique coat of arms of the Semitic people, and each one was marked with the word 'Top Secret' in bright fonts.
A huge tree-shaped candlestick shone on his face.
It’s none other than the Prime Minister, Madolins~!
Although only two short years have passed, his appearance has changed greatly.
Different from the high-spirited person before, now his face was extremely pale and his forehead was covered with wrinkles. At first glance, he thought he was an old man in his eighties.
He put his hand on his forehead and stared blankly at the documents in front of him, but his eyes were filled with confusion, without the slightest focus, and it was obvious that he had not read a single word.
Two years ago, he was in great power, making promises and being high-spirited. But now, because of the failure of the expeditionary force, the government and the public were extremely dissatisfied. However, they did not dare to find fault with the High Priest of the Undead, so they could only criticize him.
, put all the shit basins on his head.
"The incompetent Prime Minister Madolins..."
"Every day I just know Madolins who collect money..."
"Prime Minister Madolins who doesn't even know that one plus one equals two..."
"Prime Minister Madolins only flatters the undead..."
"..."
You can hear all kinds of new jokes coming out every day. No need to ask about the content, they are all mocking the Prime Minister.
There are even rumors that in order to become Prime Minister, Madolins carried expensive gifts, knelt in front of the door of the lich Cameron and begged bitterly, and finally asked Cameron to be his godfather.
…
In short, each joke is more vicious and sinister than the last.
The originally bustling corridor had become empty. It had been filled with officials and ministers waiting for Yin to see him. But since the defeat, they have all disappeared.
In the eyes of those people, it may not be long before Prime Minister Madolins will add the attributive word 'former' in front of his title and become Former Prime Minister Madolins.
Therefore, everyone ran away from each other, fearing that they would be labeled as Prime Minister Madolins, and then be put in the shoes of the new Prime Minister who would take office in the future.
At this time, only loyal soldiers were left in the corridor. They were still standing on both sides of the corridor with expressionless faces, like rows of puppets.
If it were in the past, this would be fine. After all, his biggest help comes from the Semitic Supreme Emperor and the first disciple of the Undead High Priest, Lich Cameron. But it is said that in order to block the human race attacking from the sea, Cameron
I went to set up my defense in advance. It has been a long time since I showed up.
This made Madolins feel helpless.
In order to become prime minister, he launched a coup and offended almost all the Lingshan royal family.
In order to respond to the high priest's expedition, he searched desperately and offended all the merchants and landowners.
Finally, in order to recruit as many soldiers as possible, he ordered civilians to be forcibly recruited into the army, which offended all civilians.
But now, because of the failure of the expedition, the Semitic people are extremely angry about this. They are strongly calling for those responsible for the defeat to be held accountable.
Faced with such strong calls, even the Dark Council had to take it seriously. They held meetings for more than forty days in a row, with only one central issue: how to find a good and fat scapegoat.
It is of sufficient weight to calm the public's anger, but cannot arouse a strong backlash from the nobles.
Under such circumstances, Prime Minister Madolins became the best scapegoat.
When he woke up, he suddenly found that he was the enemy of everyone in the world, and everyone was shouting to beat him.
Madolins was naturally extremely afraid of this.
You know, when he first rebelled, he was very cruel and killed several famous nobles. Their families all held grudges.
As long as Madolins is on stage, they have scruples and dare not move. But once Madolins steps down, they will inevitably launch ruthless revenge.
The easiest way to bring someone down in the officialdom is to check past accounts.
If Madolins has a clean butt, there is no need to be afraid.
However, although Mr. Madolins is the Prime Minister, he also has a big business. This snake hole is naturally thick.
In order to supplement the family income, it is natural to start fishing.
Prime Minister Madolins himself did some calculations. Not counting what his son, wife, mistress, concubine, and others collected, the money Uncle Ma earned from military expenses alone was enough to make him one of the top three embezzlers in Semitic history.
Bit.
By that time, his reputation will be ruined, and all he will have waiting for him is the round rope on the gallows~!
He could even imagine that when he walked onto the execution platform, the onlookers would definitely throw rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs at him... (To be continued...)
