Chapter 268: Strange Tales on a Deserted Island (Ⅰ)

There are many things that have pros and cons.

A large group of hunters gathered near the banks of the nomadic river, and the wild boar became a scarce resource. Once it appeared, it would attract many hunting teams to besiege, and the spoils shared by a single team were pitifully small.

Although wild boars are not smart, after all, they have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When they find that there are many hunters by the river, they will naturally flee from the dangerous area. There are even fewer wild boars that can be hunted by the river, and hunting teams may even have conflicts for prey. .

In general, the risk is directly proportional to the reward. Once you choose the safe route of hunting along the river, the hope of competing for medals will become very slim.

"How many hunting points do you need to get a chance to break into the top three in the competition?" Qiao An asked Ah Zhi.

"Judging from the final results of previous hunting competitions, at least 100 points are required to have a chance to compete for a medal, and more than 200 points will secure a medal. As for the gold, silver or bronze medal, it depends on the intensity of the competition."

Ah Zhi stroked the mouse's whiskers with a serious expression.

"200 points is equivalent to hunting 200 wild boars, which is almost impossible to achieve in just six days."

"Teams with the strength to compete for medals usually don't waste too much time and energy hunting common wild boars, and are more willing to leave the 'Safari River' basin to go deep into the dense forest, hunting those ferocious wild boars and even razor boars with higher points, so that Earn as many hunting points as possible in less time."

"Of course, to do so must take higher risks and pay greater casualties."

"Every year, more than one hunting team goes deep into the dense forest, and then all members disappear, and even the bones can't be found."

Young people are unavoidably overly optimistic. Thomas didn't pay attention to A Zhi's warning, and paid more attention to the first half of his words.

"If we manage to kill Prince Razor and directly get 200 hunting points, wouldn't we be able to secure the medal?"

"Based on the strength of the few of you, it's best not to think about Prince Razor, it's no different from sending you to death."

Xiao Miao unceremoniously poured a bucket of cold water on him, dropped the lobster claws in his hand, and pointed to several areas circled in red ink on the map.

"According to our newspaper's statistics on casualties and missing persons in previous hunting conferences, the areas circled with red pens are particularly dangerous."

"If you break into these areas, you will have a high probability of encountering a ferocious wild boar or a razor boar, and you may even encounter the 'Razor Prince'."

"If you are not tired of living, it is best to stay away from these dangerous areas."

Thomas promised not to take any risks, but Catwoman, who was good at observing words and emotions, noticed that the rich young master's eyes kept rolling, as if he was secretly planning something.

Xiao Miao guessed that he was probably unwilling to hunt along the river peacefully, but as an outsider, it was inconvenient for him to persuade him, so he could only sigh secretly.

On the whole map, only a small area near the northern mountainous area is surrounded by green lines, which is particularly eye-catching, which naturally aroused Joan's curiosity.

"Sister Meow, what does the area circled by the green ink refer to?"

Xiao Miao looked at the map in Joan's hand, with a hesitant expression, as if hesitating whether to answer his question or not.

"Joan, there are very few wild boars in the green area, and it is very dangerous. You don't need to go there." A Zhi said.

Joan heard that he was hiding something deliberately, and couldn't help asking: "Since there are few wild boars in the green area, where does the danger come from?"

"This..." Ah Zhi twisted his whiskers, speechless.

"Let me answer this question."

Teacher Benny accepted the words, and sighed helplessly.

"Young people are very curious. If you don't make this matter clear, it will prompt you to go to the green area to investigate the inside story yourself. In that case, our good intentions will be equivalent to doing bad things."

"Listen to you, isn't there some secret hidden in the green area on the map?" Thomas asked.

Teacher Benny nodded, his face became very serious.

"'Wild Boar Island' isn't just wild boars, there are likely to be other mysterious and cruel dangerous creatures lurking."

Brothers Joan, Thomas, and Tyndale put down their food and wine glasses at the same time, all focusing on Teacher Benny's face, expecting him to reveal the answer.

Teacher Benny took out his pipe, lit the tobacco near the bonfire, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the lavender smoke before continuing the topic.

"Joan, this incident has something to do with you. Do you still remember when we eliminated pests in Major Vasa's ranch two months ago? At that time, a huge hornet suddenly flew out and attacked the car I was riding on. Light balloon."

"Of course I remember. Afterwards, you suspected that the giant bee was related to the Primitive Cult. The huge pests that frequently appeared in various places in Alfheim were also manipulated by the Primitive Cultists behind the scenes." Joan recalled.

"At that time, we were just skeptical, because there was no conclusive evidence. For the next two months, Xiao Miao, A Zhi, and I have been investigating the truth of the pest plague, but unfortunately there was no progress, and the legendary naked monster who manipulated the pests did not appear again. .”

Mr. Benny took a drag on his cigarette, and then said:

"It wasn't until two weeks ago that Xiao Miao obtained two pieces of valuable information through her friends in a secret society that our investigation work came to light."

Xiao Miao coughed twice, and winked at Teacher Benny.

Teacher Benny nodded knowingly, avoiding talking about the source of information about Miaomiao.

Brothers Thomas and Tyndale didn't understand the purpose of Xiaomao's unusual behavior, nor did they care where she got the information from.

But Joan's heart moved, and she guessed that the "secret society" that Mr. Benny mentioned meant "Sons of Liberty" in all likelihood.

The influence of the "Sons of Liberty Association" spread all over the New World, and it established a huge intelligence network to facilitate smuggling and sale of stolen goods. It is known for being well-informed.

The "primitive believers" are indeed secretive, but as long as they leave the primitive forest and enter the towns inhabited by humans, it will be difficult for them to hide from the eyes and ears of the "sons of liberty" once there is any disturbance.

As a middle-level cadre of the "Sons of Liberty Association" in the Leiden Port area, it is reasonable for Xiaomiao to use the organization's intelligence system to track down the truth about the pest plague.

"According to the first piece of information provided by my friend, we learned that there is indeed a high-ranking deacon of the 'Primitive Sect' who left the 'Iron Forest' where the headquarters of the Sect is located this spring, and secretly came to the Yalfheim area .”

"This person seems to have been ordered by the Pope to go south to pursue someone or something. The specific purpose is still unknown."

"As for spreading insect eggs and creating insect plagues in the Yifen River Basin, this cult deacon did it conveniently, and it can be regarded as a way to practice his evil beliefs."
