In the early years when the American Fur Company monopolized the fur trade in Missouri, many bold businessmen dared to take risks. However, after all the foreign traders who entered disappeared without exception, no one dared to take risks anymore.
To challenge the authority of the American Fur Company.
Shortly after Chen Mo and the other three entered the forest, a fur purchasing team consisting of ten armed men also set off early, following closely behind the three of Chen Mo and quietly chasing after them following the traces they left.
At the edge of this vast forest, Chen Mo was leading Victor and James toward the depths of the forest along a path trodden by people who often went into the mountains.
The two little guys were like two little beasts out of the cage. They were no longer as depressed as they were in New York. Their eyes were bright and their faces were full of excitement and joy. They were walking quickly on the rugged forest path full of energy.
Tall trees of different thicknesses are scattered randomly in the forest, with branches extending everywhere, occupying every corner of the sight.
Although it is late autumn, the forests in Missouri are not as bleak as those in Canada. The leaves on the trees are yellow and green. Although the ground has been covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, the leaves on the trees are still very lush.
The forest is still full of life.
Although the lush branches and leaves did not completely block the sky like in the summer, they still blocked most of the sunlight. The fine sunlight penetrated through the gaps between the leaves and cast mottled light and shadow on the ground, showing a completely different scene from the Canadian Rocky Mountains forest.
Another kind of forest beauty.
The two little guys were also attracted by the scenery that was completely different from their hometown. They kept walking and their two little heads looked left and right from time to time, observing everywhere, even more so than when they first arrived in New York.
excited.
Chen Mo also had a comfortable expression as if he were on an outing, walking behind Liang Xia, leisurely admiring the forest scenery that had not been damaged at all in the early 19th century.
Suddenly, Chen Mo's eyes moved as he was walking, and his steps couldn't help but slow down.
Naturally, the movement behind him could not be hidden from Chen Mo's ears. Chen Mo, who was marching deep into the forest, heard a burst of rapid and dense footsteps coming from a few hundred meters behind him, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Although Chen Mo did not see what happened in the village, he had already expected it. After all, the American Fur Company under John Jacob Astor had controlled the fur trade in Missouri for more than ten years.
The surrounding villages that enter and exit the forest must have been fully controlled for a long time, and their whereabouts cannot be hidden from the personnel of the American Fur Company.
However, Chen Mo had no intention of hiding it. On the contrary, Chen Mo's target was them!
Now that the "prey" had taken the initiative to catch up, Chen Mo stopped moving forward and directly waved to stop Victor and James, who had been in high spirits since they entered the forest.
"Don't leave, your prey is coming, be ready to fight!"
The two children, who were happily walking through the beautiful woods like a spring outing, couldn't help but stop when they heard the words, and turned to look at Chen Mo in confusion.
Facing the doubtful looks of the two people, Chen Mo said with a smile.
"I said, the purpose of our visit this time is to hunt, but the target of hunting is not animals, but people! Your prey this time is ten armed men with muskets!"
When they heard that the long-awaited hunt turned out to be a battle with humans, Victor and James did not show any signs of disappointment.
After a series of battles from Canada to the United States, the two of them were no longer the rookies who had never killed anyone before.
The two people whose special abilities were stimulated already had a strong wild nature in their hearts. Victor's performance was the most obvious. Although James awakened late, he quickly became bellicose under the influence of this wild instinct.
Got up.
Whether it's the feeling of blood boiling all over the body during the battle, or the slow improvement of one's own strength after each battle, both of them are yearning for battle.
In New York before, because they were in a prosperous big city, the two of them would inevitably be affected by secular laws and did not dare to think about fighting. In fact, on the way out of New York, the two of them had been looking forward to the bandits.
The robbers come so that they can have a chance to fight again.
They never thought of taking the initiative to find targets and fight.
Unexpectedly, the "hunting" Chen Mo mentioned actually meant fighting with armed men!
If they attack ordinary civilians, the two of them will inevitably have scruples and conflicts in their hearts. After all, they also have their own concepts of right and wrong.
But this was not the case with the militants. Including James, there was no conflict in their hearts.
The two of them didn't have much contact with the world, and all the gun-wielding militants they saw didn't seem to be good people.
Thomas killed James' adoptive father, John Howlett, with a gun. The gunmen they encountered along the way were all robbers and bandits. When they heard Chen Mo talking about ten armed men with guns, the two naturally classified them.
Joined the ranks of robbers and bandits.
However, their understanding was not wrong. To the native Indians in the Missouri area, the armed men of the American Fur Company were robbers. They only paid a small amount and stole a large amount of furs from them, even with a word.
If you don't agree, you will kill someone.
But for those foreign fur traders who entered the Missouri area to conduct fur trade, they were more terrifying than bandits. Not only did they steal their supplies and purchased furs, but they also took away all their lives!
To a certain extent, killing these lackeys of the American fur company can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people!
After the two belligerent children learned that a big battle was about to take place, not only did they show no fear, but their faces were full of excitement.
After waiting for so long, they can finally have a fun battle. They are more willing to fight humans than hunt animals!
The two men immediately displayed their respective weapons, and the sharp nails on their fingers and the sharp bone spurs on their fists all lengthened and grew out. Their originally lively expressions like children on a spring outing were quickly replaced by crazy ferocity.
As the "prey" quickly approached, the two people with animal-like keen senses also discovered their location. They turned around and looked sharply in the direction behind them. They spread their hands on both sides and leaned forward slightly, as if
When hunting, it looks like a beast that is ready to attack at any time.
Chen Mo stood aside and watched the actions of the two men, and secretly shook his head. His fighting awareness was still too poor. He only knew how to fight head-on, and had no awareness of ambush or sneak attacks.
