At this time, Kate asked: "Can you tell how tall those human-like things are based on the traces at the scene?" Joey replied: "You can roughly estimate it! It should be more than 3 meters!"
Everyone present took a breath!
Some people had begun to breathe quickly, and Steven asked again: "Joy, can you judge the number of the other party?"
Joey said: "I didn't dare to stay there for too long, and I only dared to search near the scene, so I couldn't accurately judge the number of the other party, but judging from the traces I could see, there might be two such guys.
Only when you are around can you leave so many traces in a short period of time!"
"When you are searching on site, the other party may be observing you under the cover of the jungle. Maybe it is because the other party does not have too many people, otherwise all of you may be attacked! It is right for you to come back as soon as possible, but tonight the camp must
Strengthen the alert, Mr. Vergon, and need to send extra manpower to watch the night," Kate said.
First mate Weirang nodded in agreement, and then said: "Captain Langdon has been notified and is on his way over. We will wait for him for a while."
At this time, the wooden door was pushed open, and Langdon walked in with the second officer and several crew members. After asking and understanding what happened to Joey's team in the afternoon, Captain Langdon discussed with the senior staff of the Twin Fin Shark and decided to
The next day, Joey's team returned to the place where Kolem disappeared to conduct search and rescue, and at the same time investigate the opponent's situation.
Langdon said to Steven and Kate: "We hope that these two gentlemen can join Joey's team. The enemies we face may not be ordinary beasts, but may be much more dangerous than beasts! We need these two gentlemen.
Ability."
Kate nodded and said, "No problem! We will join Joey's team tomorrow, Mr. Langdon, but we need some equipment. We were in a hurry when we arrived at the Twin Fin Shark, and some of our weapons were left on the Flying Fish."
"Just tell us what equipment you need! I think there should be something on the Twin Fin Shark that can meet the needs of both of you! The other two gentlemen will be the commanders of tomorrow's team," Langdon said.
Steven nodded and said: "We need two hunting bows and arrows, a monocular telescope, a tent, sleeping mat, sleeping bag and machete. Prepare some dry food when we set out tomorrow, that's all."
"They are all on these ships! Do you need a shield or a spear? I usually like to collect weapons. If you need them, you can find them in the weapons collection on the ship." Langdon replied.
Kate shook her head and said, "That's enough for what Steven mentioned! I'm afraid the equipment of Joey's team also needs to be adjusted. They don't need to bring a lot of flintlocks. They need to be equipped with some cold weapons and crossbows. They will also consider spending a few days overnight in the wild.
We don’t have enough equipment and dry food, so we shouldn’t be able to return to the camp on the same day.”
Langdon nodded and said, "Then it's settled! The two gentlemen and the personnel who need to leave tomorrow can go back and rest at this time. The first mate and the second mate and I will stay to discuss the defense of the camp."
After he finished speaking, Joey left with his team members, and Steven and Kate also left the room. Blake caught up with them from behind and said to them: "Steven, Kate! You must do it tomorrow."
Be careful! Originally I wanted to go with you, but Hans didn’t agree, and I’m not a member of Joey’s team, so I can’t go with you tomorrow!”
Kate said: "You don't need to go there with us, it's too dangerous! You will take good care of the flintlocks left by Joey and the others tomorrow. I think they may be used in the future." Blake nodded in agreement, and the others returned.
Rest in their respective shacks.
Fortunately, it didn't rain that night, and the weather was also very good the next morning. After making all preparations, Steven and Kate followed Joey's team and set off towards the mountains.
Each of them carried a backpack, which contained the camping equipment Langdon had prepared for them last night. In addition to carrying straight swords and long swords on their backs, each of them also carried a hunting bow, which was Captain Langdon's collection.
The bow arm made of fine steel and the bow string made of twisted steel wire require a lot of force to pull apart. It is much more sophisticated than the hunting bow the two customized at the weapons shop in Daru Town. With dozens of steel-tipped feather arrows, it is very beautiful.
Suitable for two people to use.
The machete hanging on his waist was also selected by Langdon from the ship's weapons depot. The machete has a slightly curved shape and a sharp front end. It is suitable for chopping obstacles and for use in combat.
Joey led his team of 14 people in total. Except for the three gunners with accurate marksmanship, the rest of the team members did not carry bulky flintlock guns. Instead, each of them carried a scimitar. This scimitar was first imported from Salem.
Warriors from several tribes in the Great Desert spread it to the mainland, and were later spotted by pirates in the West Sea. They felt that this kind of scimitar was very suitable for jumping off the side of the ship, so it was a very popular cold weapon among pirates.
In addition to wooden-arm hunting bows and machetes, the remaining weapons include a few pirates carrying several steel crossbows. This kind of steel crossbow is very powerful. The disadvantage is that the arrow loading speed is very slow, but it is obviously more suitable for fighting in the jungle than a flintlock gun.
.
The team of more than a dozen people followed yesterday's route and crossed towards the canyon between the two mountains. Since the route had been explored before, they traveled very quickly. Later in the afternoon, the team arrived at the place where Korem disappeared the day before.
outside the rainforest.
That night they camped outside the rainforest and had a peaceful night.
The next morning, Steven and Kate stood on the hills outside the rain forest and looked down at the rain forest. Due to the low terrain, the rain forest between the dozen peaks in front of them was very dense, and the several peaks in front blocked them.
From their distant view, the rainforest surrounded the base of the mountain peaks. From their position, they could not see how big the rainforest was.
Later, the team entered the mist-shrouded rainforest. The environment here reminded the two of them of a dark rainforest. They were surrounded by plants and environments similar to those of a dark rainforest. The humid and sultry air seemed to block everyone's breathing. Birds
The roars mixed with the roars of various animals made the pirates involuntarily start to get nervous.
Steven and Kate walked at the front of the team, followed by Joey. Following the traces left on the day before, the team walked through for a period of time and found the place where Koreem disappeared based on Joey's prompts.
Kate led several pirates armed with scimitars to guard the surroundings. Steven and Joey began to survey the traces left yesterday. Although it did not rain from yesterday to today, the traces left on the scene were somewhat blurred. Fortunately, the traces left behind
The objects in the traces were large enough, so the two of them found the extension direction of the traces without much difficulty.
Then the team began to follow the traces. Steven was walking at the front with a machete, followed by Kate a few meters behind. Joey was at the back of the team. The black-haired pirate leader who had robbed Steven and Kate before was now completely surrendered.
