Chapter 318 Skinning
“Chief, something happened!”
One is half naked, with a waist The aboriginal youth, who was entangled in a fur robe and a horn, and carried a cedar short bow instead of a musket, pushed the door and hurried in.
“What’s going on?”
Seeing the clansman running in in a hurry, the leader couldn’t care less about these guests, he stood up and asked with a sullen face.
“You’d better come and see for yourself!”
Looking at the guests in the longhouse, the young man was a little hard to tell, this time the situation was really weird.
“I’m sorry, guests! I have something to deal with first, and we’ll talk when I get back.” The young man walked out of the longhouse in a hurry, and the brown bear warrior named Uwakaza, who was as strong as a mountain, followed closely from behind.
Alwin and the others didn’t understand the native language, but they knew that something must have happened unexpectedly after seeing the performance of these people.
“Mr. Director? Shall we follow it too?”
Negado, who has been dealing with this tribe for many years, can actually understand part of Yucatan , especially the word “hunting team” in it, made him shivered all at once.
The fur trade does not require land grabbing and is one of the few businesses that allows settlers and natives to coexist peacefully.
A large part of their own fur business will fall on them. If there is a problem with the tribe hunting team, even if only part of the problem goes wrong, it will inevitably affect the fur supply, and then affect their own performance. and company earnings!
Hearing Alwin’s proposal, Necardo immediately led Alwin and the others without hesitation. They also got up and followed out.
Ta Ta Ta Ta
They rushed all the way, followed Necardo across and remained unaffected by the people on both sides of the trade, until they reached the camp entrance.
I also saw the returning hunting team, a “hunting team” with only two people returning.
Smell the familiar blood-reeking qi.
Alwin and Milan glanced at each other and felt something unusual at the same time.
“How did they get back? When did they get back?”
Staring at the two clansman lying on the ground, the tribe leader Apsova asked in a low voice with a gloomy face. shirtless youth.
“Just now, both of them came back by themselves, and several people who were on guard with me today saw it.
After the accident, there was no delay at all. I’ll immediately inform you.
From their own return until they collapsed at the door, no one touched them.”
The youth in charge of today’s sentry are just the first to discover, He doesn’t know much more than others, and in three or two sentences, everything he knows has been emptied.
Leaning a little closer, Alwin carefully observed the two native youths who had fallen to the ground, or the two corpses that had been out of breath for a long time.
There is nothing else, but this is the first time Alwin has seen such a paradoxical way of dying.
Look pale, but with a satisfied smile like devotion to God.
The bloody animal leather pants are still tied around the waist, but the clothes on the upper body, including all the skin below the neck, are gone!
It can be confirmed that the two of them really walked all the way back. Looking at it from here, you can vaguely see the bloodstains and footprints they spilled on the ground in the forest.
But before they walked back to the camp, their blood was almost drained.
What kept them coming back here?
“There seems to be something pressing under their bodies?”
The natives who were watching were about to step forward, but were grabbed by the lean leader.
“Don’t touch it!”
Then the leader personally brought a long pole and cautiously provoked the bodies of the two who fell to the ground.
hissing
hissing
“It’s their own skin?!”
In the sound of suck in a cold breath, Alwin The corpses were also seen flipping over, revealing what they were pressing under the body.
It was their original skin, bloody pale-yellow fat and connective tissue that made all of “the same”, including Alwin, feel extremely uncomfortable.
But this kind of scene is extremely terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people.
But in the eyes of the old hunters, it can be distinguished. This is a very skilled skinning technique. After a few years, it is impossible to master it with hundreds of prey.
And from their state, they can come back to guess by themselves, and the very experienced hunters here obviously cannot rule out the two deceased themselves!
“There’s something else!”
The leader opened their hides with a wooden pole, which contained another thing.
They may not recognize Alwin who has just arrived in the new continent, but the people here, including Necardo, are very familiar.
Because those are two beaver skins!
How could they not recognize it?
Because beaver hides are the most important part of the new continent’s fur trade.
There is even a saying in the old continents: “The possession of a beaver hide is proof of a man’s or a woman’s place in high society!”
Even many royal families once promulgated the imperial decree, and the beaver skin can only be used exclusively by the Wang Family.
Even now, in many countries, the level of beaver skin hats is still used as a symbol of social status.
Apart from this, the old continent countries do not have umbrellas, this thing.
A felt hat made of waterproof beaver skin is not easily deformed, not only a status symbol, but also a rain gear.
The social atmosphere has gradually taken shape, and now every person above the middle class is proud of owning a beaver skin product.
And if you look closely, you will find that the two beaver skins wrapped in human skin are exactly the same in appearance, without even a trace of blood, they are flawless Top Grade fur!
Even surrounded by such horrific scenes.
Among the indigenous people who deal with fur all day in the crowd, some people can’t help but exclaim:
“Ah! This is the first time I have seen such beautiful fur. It’s so beautiful. , it’s so beautiful!”
“Yes, I’ve been dealing with beaver hides for 20 years, but never of this quality. Are there any babies on our hunting grounds?”
“”
Even the director who saw all this held back his fear of the bloody scene, took two steps forward slightly, and murmured in his mouth, “If you can Such a beaver hide is made into a gorgeous fur and presented to the Queen Your Majesty, even if it is not a dream to return to the country to become a company executive?”
I didn’t notice the reaction of the people around, Milan and Alwin The attention of the two wizards has been fully focused on the two “perfect” beaver skins.
“Alwin, that tribal leader did the right thing.
The two beaver hides have a terrifying curse on them! If you touch them directly, there will be Something bad happened.
Perhaps this is the source of the bizarre way of death of these two natives.”
Milan whispered to Alwin through his mind connection. .
Seeing the truth through the fog is Milan’s specialty. The moment he saw the two beaver skins, his [Spirituality Detection] and [Spiritual Warning] had already given him very clear signals. .
And he felt that the seemingly ordinary or even skinny tribal leader might not be an ordinary person.
This way of dealing with “weird” cannot be explained clearly by being cautious, at least it should be an apprentice-level sorcerer who has opened the vision of spirituality or has similar abilities!
“Human skin and beaver skin? Walking dead? Is this a warning of some unknown existence?”
After preliminary examination of the bodies of the two dead, Apso Wa’s face was solemn, and he had already guessed that there might be a problem with the hunting grounds that produced such important supplies as beaver skins.
Especially this kind of strange change seems to be somewhat inexplicably familiar.
Apsova, who has lived in this land for many years, vaguely reminiscent of a strange legend circulated among the Atrian hunters, and
“Go there today. There are five people in the hunting ground, and two are here now, and the other three?
Maybe they may not be dead.
Get ready, Uwakaza , you go with me to Lengshuihewan.”
The lean leader instructed the “brown bear warrior” beside him, then turned to Nekado who had approached by surprise and said:
/p>
“Sorry friends, I can’t entertain you. As you can see, I need to check the safety of the other clansman.
I may have a general clue as to the root of the matter, We will handle the rest, It shouldn’t be affecting our subsequent transactions.”
But he just finished his words.
Negado, who seemed to be pampered, was uncharacteristically and resolutely said:
“For the sake of our friendship, I will go with you! The guards I brought are equipped with With the most advanced weapons, it should be able to help.”
“Huh?”
Alwin’s eyes were slightly narrowed, keenly noticing that the director’s state was wrong, this kind of civilian When did executives have such courage? In particular, it is this kind of strange event that reveals evil.
But he made no objection.
Because from these two “beaver skins”, Alwin could vaguely perceive the smell of some kind of Soul Spirit.
Although there may be some danger, its own spirituality does not have a strong warning, at least far less than the strong reaction when I heard the horror legends in “Fox, Badger and Honey Tavern” .
If you run away when you encounter strange things, your “spiritual medicine” and wizard advancement will be really far away.
even more how, having the local tyrant as a tribal leader is much better than going deep inland to search for those weird beings.
Hearing the director’s volunteering, Apsova agreed after a moment’s hesitation. Of course, the reinforcements were the more the better.
Only said to himself clansman:
“No one is allowed to touch them until we come back.”
Then he carried a colorful face on his back. The Atrian tambourine, carrying a white oak cane, rushed out of the tribe first.
Behind the boss.
“Brown Bear Warrior” Uwakaza, Director Necardo, three Alwin, half and half of the natives, and the Phalatis escort team followed in turn.
The time at this time is 4:15 pm in the new continent time
