In the 19th century, the fur trade on the American continent flourished, bringing huge wealth and far-reaching influence, and even supported the rise and expansion of the entire United States during this period to some extent.
Now that he had the opportunity to come to this era, Chen Mo wanted to personally experience this extremely famous event in history.
In addition, these Indian tribes in the Missouri forest that maintain the most primitive customs and styles are extremely rare to see in later generations. Chen Mo also wanted to take this opportunity to feel the Indian customs and see what the original owners of these American continents were like.
What is it like.
Therefore, for Chen Mo, entering the forest for fur trade this time is more like taking students into the mountains to sketch, touring the mountains and rivers, experiencing life, teaching students to improve their abilities, and making some money to supplement teaching and research funds.
The United States, which had just begun to rise in the 19th century, and the primitive and backward Indian tribes in the wild forests all gave Chen Mo a different feeling. Instead of waiting for a hundred years, it would be better to plunge into this rolling torrent of history and be a participant and witness of history.
Or, this is what many modern people long for but are unable to achieve. Only Chen Mo, who has the ability to travel through time and space, has this opportunity.
And even Chen Mo doesn't have many opportunities like this.
After traveling through so many times, Chen Mo already has a certain understanding of his abilities. The spaces he can travel through are not without any restrictions. All the spaces that have appeared in the past have a common feature, they are all science fiction movie worlds.
Most of the backgrounds of science fiction movies are in the modern or future world. Science fiction movies like "Underworld", "Captain America", and "Wolverine" that involve ancient and modern times are only a few. This is also thanks to Chen Mo.
His ability to travel always brings him to the earliest plot time, so that he can have the opportunity to experience the charm of history and experience more things that ordinary people cannot experience in their lifetime.
Therefore, Chen Mo's mentality was very peaceful. He took his two children for a leisurely stroll in the forest. When he encountered armed men, he acted as an instructor to teach the two children how to fight. When he found an Indian tribe, he turned into a fur trader and took the two children to buy furs. There was no discovery.
It doesn't matter, just think of it as a sightseeing trip or hiking. By the way, you can open up the map like playing a game or putting together a puzzle, and fill in the places that you haven't explored clearly.
Not only did Chen Mo enjoy it, Victor and James, who had awakened the wildness in their hearts, also enjoyed it very much. Not only could they stay in their favorite forest, but they could also fight frequently and feel the continuous improvement of their own strength. The two of them wished they could fight together in this life.
It would be better if it keeps going like this.
After exploring the area that had been missed before, and completing another puzzle piece of the incomplete forest map, Chen Mo was in the mood of playing a game to open a map, and planned to change direction and rush towards the next piece of the map that was still dark.
go.
But just when he was about to leave, a very subtle sound drifted into Chen Mo's ears along the wind.
Chen Mo couldn't help but hold his ground and listen attentively. The sound was actually beyond Chen Mo's sensing range. However, it happened to be very quiet in the forest at this time with very few noises. Chen Mo was still able to hear this extremely subtle sound from the cover of other sounds.
.
This is the sound of footsteps!
Although the sound was very weak, Chen Mo could still tell that the footsteps seemed to be very chaotic, as if there were many people.
Now that traces of humans have been discovered, Chen Mo naturally rushed over to take a look.
Immediately, Chen Mo led Victor and James towards the direction where the sound came from.
As the distance got closer, Chen Mo quickly figured out the other party's situation. Chen Mo's previous feeling was not wrong. There were more than thirty people in this group. Listening to the footsteps and occasional voices, it was certain that they were from the United States.
There was no doubt that the fur company's armed men were there.
But this was the first time Chen Mo encountered such a large team.
The armed acquisition teams we encountered in the past were basically about ten people. There was obviously something wrong with this "large force"!
Chen Mo brought Victor and James close to the team until they were less than a hundred meters away, observing the team's situation from the side and front.
The people in this team all carried muskets, but they did not carry huge backpacks specially used to carry trading supplies. Looking at their menacing and murderous looks, they were obviously heading for some target, and it was definitely not just...
It's as simple as buying fur.
I just don't know whether their target is the two "ferocious beasts" that caused them a lot of casualties, or someone else.
However, looking at the fact that they dispatched three armed acquisition teams, as if they were mobilizing troops, their goal is definitely not simple.
Chen Mo pressed down Victor and James, who were eager to move because they saw so many battle targets. After the team passed by, he quietly followed them with him.
Anyway, the prey in front of him couldn't escape, so Chen Mo was not in a hurry to let the two of them take action to deal with them. He was more interested in what the goal and ultimate goal of this team was.
The three of them followed this team all the way, heading deep into the forest.
This lasted two days.
As the team marched, Chen Mo gradually saw some clues. The direction the team was heading was clearly the location of an Indian tribe.
Moreover, this tribe left a deep impression on Chen Mo. It was the Lakota tribe that once hunted a giant bear and warmly entertained Chen Mo and the others.
In the end, as Chen Mo expected, this armed team of more than thirty people trekked all the way through the forest and finally arrived at the Lakota tribe.
More than 30 people started loading their ammunition when they were still some distance away from the tribe. After getting ready for battle, they broke into the Lakota tribe directly.
However, the elite and astute warriors of the Lakota tribe noticed their arrival as soon as they approached and responded quickly.
More than 30 heavily armed white people suddenly came to their tribe. It was obvious that they were coming with bad intentions, so the tribe's warriors quickly picked up their weapons and greeted them. When this armed team just entered the Lakota tribe, they killed them.
They blocked the perimeter and started a confrontation with them with bows, arrows and spears.
More than fifty Indian warriors arrived one after another, holding weapons and looking at the invading enemy with stern faces.
Although the weapons in his hands were not as advanced as the opponent's, he did not show any fear of flinching when attacking them. The bows, arrows and spears in his hands were firmly aimed at the enemy on the opposite side.
However, these tough Indian warriors did not attract the attention of the other side. The leader, a middle-aged white man with a beard, walked out of the team with a nonchalant expression and glanced at the Indian warriors opposite him with disdainful eyes.
