Chapter 173 The Jungle Trio

At night, Jones lay on the roof and looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, tidying up his chaotic thoughts. Today's experience once again refreshed his feelings about the ancient times, and the act of enjoying killing made him at a loss.

A sound of footsteps came, Anna had already appeared beside her, pulled out the bottle of the turbid wine in her hand, took a few sips, and handed it to Jones. She also lay beside Jones as if she were like Jones, smiling: "The treasures of the Yodel family are the last two bottles. I borrowed one."

Jones smiled and said, "'Borrow'? Yodelko sued you several times, saying that he could never finish drinking alcohol before, but now he doesn't have enough alcohol! He is always stolen by some little devil every now and then."

Anna curled her lips: "What can I do? I can't use my phone here, and I don't have a computer either. I'm not convenient to go out. It's boring to stay at home. Besides, who makes his wine so delicious! It tastes so good, like a drink. If you don't steal it, he will steal anyone!"

Jones gently stroked Anna's hair and said silently for a moment: "Anna, let's leave here. I don't want to stay here anymore."

Anna put away her smile and asked worriedly: "What happened today? Something has been wrong since you came back."

Jones took his breath: "I participated in a game today, and my opponent was a respectable man, and I won. He could have never died, but Singra asked me to kill him!"

Anna frowned slightly: "Have you started?"

Jones shook his head: "No, but he committed suicide. He said that if he didn't die, then the two of us would die!"

Anna leaned against Jones again and asked softly, "Is it because of the rules of the duel?"

Jones: "Well, you know, too?"

"It is said that duels have been popular in Europe in the Middle Ages, allowing slaves to fight each other to please the nobles. The most cruel rule is that there can only be one winner, and if you want to win, you must kill him. If you don't kill him, you must die, and he is the loser and will not be allowed to survive." Anna explained to Jones in detail.

"Yes, in order to keep me alive, he chose to commit suicide. But I was not worthy of anything he called!"

"He is a respectable person, but don't be too sad. The rules are like this now. This is not something you can stop." Anna comforted softly, then changed the subject and said, "Why don't you tell me in advance when you go to the duel today? Don't do such a dangerous thing next time! What should I do if you have an accident!"

Jones kissed her forehead and smiled, "I just don't want you to worry about me. Besides, the gap between those opponents and me is very big, and there is no one to fight! Don't worry, there will never be another time. And I'm going to leave here!"

Anna said worriedly: "Not to mention whether Singra will let us go. Even if we leave, where can we go? Bruce and his family are not sure about their life and death, and there are constant wars outside. Where should we go?"

Jones took a sip of wine and was silent for a while, then swept away the decline and said confidently: "I must leave, but not now. I have been named Baron by Singra and can form a 100-man team. I want to train this 100-man team well, which will be our capital to gain a foothold in ancient times!"

Anna echoed excitedly: "Haha! I want to be the deputy captain of the Centenarians!"

Jones also smiled: "Okay! You will be my deputy captain from now on! After conquering another territory in the future, I will let you be my princess!"

Anna raised her chin and said proudly: "That depends on your performance!" The world of the two is always so sweet, always so abusive...

The next day, Jones seemed to have changed into a different person, happily entering the palace to swear allegiance to Singra. After getting Singra's warrant, he went straight to the prisoner's detention office to select suitable prisoners. After picking for several days, he finally collected a hundred people. Although the quality of these hundred people was uneven, they were all people with skills.

The man was selected and the camp was quickly approved. His army was sent to the east of the city, where wild beasts often came out to destroy crops near the jungle. Jones's task was to protect the crops and people in the east of the city. Jones was secretly happy. Isn't the jungle a special training ground for training elites? When he was really sleepy, someone gave him a pillow! Then, Jones's training plan officially started...

Jones' training is not a matter of day and night. Let's talk about why Bruce, Ned and Chris are not in the camp.

The three of them explored according to the plan that day to find useful things in the forest. For safety reasons, the three of them acted together, searching along the stream against the flow, and seeing the scenery in the forest along the way. The forest that has not been destroyed by humans is indeed a good scenery:

The sun reflects the light of the mist, the light of the green, the rain harvests the dark color and the color of the green is cold. The withered vines tangle the old trees, the ancient crossings are quiet and the journey of the ancient crossings. The strange flowers and auspicious grass, the bamboo and pine trees are built. The singing of the birds is close, and the source is clear. The lingering orchids surround the valleys and valleys, and the cliffs are growing everywhere.

Before they knew it, the three of them had already reached the depths of the forest. Bruce stopped them and said, "Let's take a break here first."

Ned and Chris were not opposed, and the three of them found a clean place by the stream and sat on the ground. Chris listened to the singing of birds in the forest and the sound of running water tinkling, saying, "This place is so beautiful! How can you find such a beautiful place in the 21st century? I will definitely build a palace here in the future!"

Ned took the opportunity to pour a bucket of cold water: "Dear, you really think too much. Whether we can live well is a question!"

Chris' mood suddenly became less beautiful. He picked up a handful of streams and sprinkled them at Ned: "Hate! Anyway, it's like this, so you can't let others think about it!"

Bruce didn't want to eat dog food for nothing, so he immediately interrupted, "Have you ever found this forest strange?"

Chris shook his head: "No, aren't they all good?"

Ned nodded and said, "First of all, we discovered before. There are no large wild animals here. We have seen flowers, birds, fish, monkeys, and deer all the way, but we have not seen carnivores!"

Bruce agreed: "According to the food chain rules, it is impossible to have no predators in the habitat of vegetarian animals. If there is no predator hunting, then these herbivores should be extremely numerous, but according to my observation, there are not many animals here."

Ned continued: "That is, there are some people or beasts here who are deliberately controlling their number."

Chris interrupted: "It's okay for people to say, but how can beasts control their number?"

Ned explained: "If it is a human, everything will be easy to explain. But if it is a beast, it is definitely a monster-level super ferocious beast! It drives away all the carnivores in the territory, and the herbivores in the territory are its food! Only in this way can we explain why we have never seen carnivores and why the villagers outside dare not enter the forest!"

Chris twisted his arm hard: "Hate! Don't scare me!"

But Bruce said: "It's not that I scare you, I agree with Ned's analysis. And I think the probability of having a ferocious beast is even greater. If it were humans, those villagers wouldn't be afraid of being so cruel."

Ned nodded silently, and Chris's face turned pale and trembling, saying, "This place is so dangerous, let's go out quickly!"

Bruce looked at Ned and clearly asked him to explain it again. Ned understood and said to Kris: "This is just our guess, but aren't we the second doubt we found today?"

Chris: "What did you find? I didn't find anything!"

Ned: "There are no traces of large beasts, footprints, or feces along the way, and there are no animal bones that have been eaten on the road. This means that the beasts here should not be able to move freely, but hunt through some unknown ability. We just need to be careful, and it should be safe to move in this forest."

Bruce stretched out his hand and slapped Ned with high-fiving: "That's right, because of this, I dared to take you out of the camp. If it weren't safe, I would have pulled you away."

Ned also smiled and said to Chris, "Dear, aren't you scared now?"

Chris hammered Ned with anger and said, "Okay, you actually scared me with Bruce!" Chris's pink fist hit Ned with thick skin and flesh as if it was tickling. Chris, who could not vent his anger, jumped into the stream and splashed water on Bruce and Ned...

After laughing, the three of them set off again. On the way, Bruce caught a hare, and the three of them who had eaten the fish for a few days were all saliva! Unfortunately, the dagger was at Jones, so they had to find a sharper stone that was rough and bloody. They put it on the grill without peeling the skin.
