Chapter 249 The Trap and the Legend of the Extraordinary Savage
In the dense and humid forest, heavily armed mercenaries were marching like a pack of hungry wolves walking upright.
Above their heads, two drones were suspended, and further back, there were armed helicopters taking off and landing at any time.
Not long ago, the group received a request for help and learned that another savage tribe was attacking.
Similar things are not uncommon, and the war between the two sides never stops, but the winner every time is the group.
The defeated savage tribes will disappear from this world.
How could the backward and ignorant primitive people be the opponents of the major groups? If they were not scattered in the deep mountains and old forests, they would have been completely annihilated long ago.
After learning that the battle had suffered heavy casualties, the person in charge of the area was furious and immediately sent a mercenary group to clean up.
At the same time, he also put forward requirements that things must be done beautifully so as not to affect his work performance.
As for how many people will die, the person in charge doesn't care at all.
The mercenaries are just tools, and the person in charge is the real culprit, the executioner who directly gives the order to kill.
But then again, the person in charge is just a wage earner, and there are higher-level beings above him.
This is an interest group, far bigger than imagined.
After receiving the order, the mercenary group rushed to the forest as soon as possible, but they arrived a step too late.
Seven mercenaries were killed, including an experienced captain, which was a slap in the face.
Once the incident comes out, it will inevitably be ridiculed.
The mercenary leader secretly vowed to catch the culprit and then impose the cruelest punishment of revenge.
To ensure victory, he summoned all the men he could and brought the best equipment.
After many years of dealing with savages, the mercenary leader has become more and more cautious, which is related to his experiences in his youth.
When he was still a rookie, he heard and encountered many strange things, each of which was enough to make people stunned.
This unexpected incident made the mercenary captain smell a familiar smell, and he became nervous and excited.
The three hundred mercenaries participating in the operation were divided into three teams and marched slowly dozens of meters apart.
This green hell made the mercenaries suffer a lot.
An environment like this is simply not suitable for human survival. No wonder the civilized world calls savages livestock.
The mercenary responsible for opening the road waved a sharp machete in his hand and constantly cleared the obstacles blocking the road.
The mercenary leading the team on the left cut off the grass vines in front and prepared to lead the team through this place.
This location was chosen because there are obstacles that are difficult to clear on both sides, and only the middle area is the most suitable for walking.
The mercenaries responsible for opening the road ignored one thing. Many hunters would also deliberately choose such an environment when setting traps.
As the sword fell, the sound of wind suddenly came from above the head.
The dead tree, which was hung by vines at both ends, suddenly fell down. The target was a group of marching mercenaries.
There are many sharpened wooden cones stuck on this dead tree, and the surface is also smeared with green poisonous liquid.
The height of the dead wood hanging was right near the chest. Several mercenaries were unable to dodge and were directly stabbed in the body by the wooden sticks.
The unlucky ones died on the spot, and those who survived were seriously injured. The toxins on the sticks will take effect quickly.
The sudden attack made the mercenaries nervous. They carefully checked their surroundings for fear of triggering a similar trap again.
The mercenaries felt something was wrong. They had rarely encountered traps like this in past battles.
Things like traps require a brain to set up, but those savages hiding in the forest are all idiots who don't know how to think.
If these traps are really arranged by savages, it is definitely something that needs to be taken seriously.
Savages who know how to think are far more dangerous than brainless savages and must be completely eliminated.
"Be vigilant and don't take it lightly. The enemy this time is not simple!"
The cold voice of the mercenary leader quickly spread throughout the entire team, and the originally somewhat unorganized state was immediately reversed.
There were already casualties before the enemy was even seen. This was something that had never happened before.
They were angry, but also increasingly wary.
Not long after, there was another scream, and a hidden trap was triggered again.
A mercenary stepped into a puddle. Although the steel plates on the soles of his feet blocked the spikes, the spikes on both sides pierced his calf.
The specially designed mechanism penetrates deeper the deeper it is pulled. Only by digging out all the surrounding soil can the injured calf be pulled out.
By the time the person was rescued, the injured person was already unconscious and completely incapacitated.
Misfortunes never come singly, not long after leaving, several more mercenaries were recruited.
The organizer's method was quite clever, and even experienced mercenaries found no trace at all.
The constant traps they encountered made a group of mercenaries fearful that they would fall on them next moment.
The mercenary captain's expression was gloomy, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.
The enemy we face this time is definitely not an ordinary forest native, but a special being who is intelligent and possesses extraordinary power.
Such enemies are the most difficult to deal with. They appear and disappear in the forest. They claim to be the sons of the forest, and mercenaries are their prey.
Fortunately, there are very few of these special savages, and we have not heard any news about them for a long time.
In the early years, there was a mysterious consortium that issued tasks to major mercenary groups, hoping to capture such special savages alive.
Whoever can catch it can get a generous commission.
Because of this reward, all major mercenary groups have taken action to try to find special savages with extraordinary power.
During that period of time, special savages appeared frequently and fought against mercenary groups from time to time.
Both sides suffered casualties, and the battle could be said to be extremely dangerous.
The savage with extraordinary power made the arrogant mercenaries restrain themselves and see the hidden side of the world.
It is said that there were more than a dozen mercenary groups that finally completed their missions, but they also suffered a lot of casualties.
After this incident happened, the special savage with extraordinary power completely disappeared without a trace.
There is a great possibility that he is hiding quietly to avoid being chased by mercenaries again.
Thinking of the long-term effective reward, the mercenary captain's mood became hot, and the annoyance caused by the casualties disappeared.
As long as he gets this bounty, he can retire early and enjoy a carefree and comfortable life.
Money is a versatile tool that can do many things. It can give courage to cowards and turn good people into madmen.
The experienced mercenary captain also chose to continue the mission because of the extremely generous bounty.
He has the power to make decisions on the battlefield and can terminate operations under adverse circumstances to avoid greater losses.
But the temptation of the bounty made him give up evacuation.
The vast majority of mercenaries do not understand the secrets of this aspect at all, let alone what kind of enemies they will face.
After receiving the order from the mercenary captain, the team continued to move forward, but this time they became more cautious.
The drone that went out for reconnaissance happened to transmit back video images, and the ancient city hidden in the dense forest appeared in front of the mercenaries.
Seeing this majestic ancient city, the mercenaries' eyes lit up, shining with greed.
Ancient ruins like this often contain a large number of cultural relics. As long as they are transported to the civilized world, rich people will spend a lot of money to buy and collect them.

With the existence of this ancient city, this mission will definitely make a lot of money. Even if the savages cannot be eliminated, they can still get a generous dividend.
