America 1881: Legend of the West

"Then, can I ask, will I be in danger?" Malik was a little worried.

"No, they are all decent people and will not attack you." Chen Jianqiu put away the picture, with the same smile on his face. If Sean was here, he must have secretly said something bad.

Malik didn't have any good ideas. He didn't know what Chen Jianqiu was going to do.

He knew the cave marked on the map, but he hadn't been there for a long time. He didn't know what it was like now.

Chen Jianqiu whistled, and the corn flew out of the door and landed on the owner's shoulder.

The three of them got on their horses and headed towards the mountains under the darkness of night.

The next morning, Malik showed up at Camp Fultz.

"Have you figured it out?" Fultz looked at the farmer in front of him and felt a little excited. It seemed that the temptation of money was still good.

"Then, what, can you give me part of the deposit first?" Malik looked a little hesitant.

Fultz readily agreed. He took out a few U.S. dollars from his pocket and handed them to Malik.

They turned around to pack their things and get ready to go.

"Is this man worthy of our trust?" Fultz's staff asked his superiors in a low voice.

Fultz looked confident: "Who can refuse justice and money?"

"But what if he doesn't know where those people are?" His subordinate asked his own question.

"Then let's go into the mountains to search? Do you know the way or do I know the way?" Fultz snorted angrily.

The group of people headed towards the mountains. Fultz lent Malik a horse and asked him to lead the way. Two mounted policemen were with him, while he and the large group followed behind.

The mountain road is rugged, and when we reach some places, there is even no road.

Fultz was a little alarmed. He heard from the villagers that the few people in the mountain would regularly send people out to replenish the necessities of life. If this road really leads to where they live, there should be no traces of man-made damage.

Just as he was considering whether to ask the person in front to stop first, the mounted policeman in front had already taken the initiative to rein in his horse.

"Sir, we found something here."

Fultz dismounted and walked quickly to the front. His injury had healed and he was now very strong.

The soldier pointed to a rock not far ahead.

Fultz leaned over and took a look.

It was an empty wine bottle and a half-burned cigarette.

He put on his gloves, bent down to pick up the wine bottle, and looked at it carefully.

The label on this wine bottle has been torn off, leaving only some residual transparent liquid at the bottom.

Fultz put his nose close to the mouth of the bottle, and the choking smell of alcohol hit his nostrils.

He quickly put the bottle away, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped his nose.

What is this? Is it for people to drink?

He handed the bottle to the mounted policeman behind him and looked at the remaining half of the cigarette.

It didn't take long for the cigarette to go out. Someone should have walked along this road just now.

This made Fultz excited again, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"Chase!"

The road ahead was too narrow for the horses to pass, so Fultz decided to dismount, grab weapons and dry food, and went into the forest with Malik.

However, after abandoning the road and entering the mountains and forests, the traces of human beings became more obvious. Although there was a ride but not a ride, they could be clearly connected to form a clear traveling route.

Fultz is getting more confident.

At the same time, in a secluded part of the forest, three people were lying on the ground looking below.

"Hey, you old drunkard, did you leave the bottle on the road?" Sean is not respectful to Adam at all. In the past two days, he has been sent by Chen Jianqiu to protect Holmes or keep an eye on other secret posts. Lonely I was going crazy, so I was in full chatterbox mode.

"Nigger, shut up. Did you smoke half of that cigarette and throw it away?" Adam dismissed it.

Chen Jianqiu had no intention of paying attention to them. He was observing the situation below with all his attention.

"Hey, boss, why did you choose this bad place to ambush? I don't think the terrain is that good?" Seeing that there was no winner between him and Adam, Sean came over to harass Chen Jianqiu again.

"You will know later." Chen Jianqiu played riddles as usual.

At this time, Feiniao lightly ran over from the side and lay down next to Chen Jianqiu.

"Have the traces been done?" Chen Jianqiu didn't know when there was a wreath woven from grass in his hand, and he put it on the bird's head as a joke.

Asuka nodded. As a senior hunter, he was the most professional in handling traces.

Chen Jianqiu raised his head. The patch of sky exposed in the canopy of the trees was not large, but from a place where he could not see, an eagle whistle came.

"coming."

Fultz and his troopers were taken to a mountain. They rounded the corner of a rock and saw a cave in front of them.

"They are inside." Malik pointed to the cave and said timidly.

Fultz glanced at the leaf-covered ground under his feet, and there were indeed several footprints heading in the direction of the cave.

He was overjoyed and rushed over quickly with a group of soldiers.

They approached the cave.

The cave was pitch dark, nothing could be seen, and bursts of stench and blood emanated from it.

Fultz suddenly felt that something was not right. This cave did not look like a place where people lived.

"Where's Malik?" Suddenly someone discovered that the farmer who led them was missing.

Fultz quickly went to check the previous footprints and found that the footprints only reached the outside of the cave and disappeared.

"Oh no, retreat quickly, you might be ambushed." This was Fultz's first reaction.

But whenever a person realizes that he has been ambushed, it is usually too late.

A huge roar came from the cave, the roar was deafening, and the entire cave was shaking.

What appeared at the same time as the roar was a huge figure rushing toward them.

By the time they could see the huge figure clearly in the sunlight, the mounted policeman closest to the cave entrance had already been thrown to the ground.

This was an extremely huge grizzly bear, larger than any grizzly bear they had ever seen. At this time, it was half standing up, and it was as tall as two people. Its huge body was like a hill.

Its forelimbs fell down and stomped hard on the mounted policeman beneath him. The mounted policeman died instantly.

"Shoot!" Fultz ordered as he pulled out his gun and shot at the formidable beast.

The troopers are well-trained, but they are not hunters and have no experience dealing with such beasts.

None of them were equipped with large-caliber bullets. The revolver bullets could not penetrate the beast's fur, and the rifle bullets made the wounded grizzly bear even more crazy.

Seeing the blood, the grizzly bear started to go crazy. After it slapped a mounted policeman away, he threw down another one next to him, bit the mounted policeman on the arm, and tore the mounted policeman's body into pieces. Two halves.

The bloody grizzly bear rampaged through the crowd like a whirlwind, and the scene was extremely tragic.

Chen Jianqiu was watching the action below. He picked up his shotgun and stood up.

He said to his heavily armed companions behind him:

"Let's go and break up the fight."
