Aoki first made a gesture towards the distant highland and told petru that it was ok here and he could go.
The savage opposite looked nervously at the gun in his hand and was obviously afraid of it.
Aoki suddenly had an idea. He put the gun away and picked up a bow and several feather arrows from the ground.
He pulled the bow string and found that although the bow was rough, it had enough strength. Without a handle of strength, it could not even be pulled open. There are no large animals on the island. I don't know what the bow string is made of. It is very strong. It may also be the rubber band of marine organisms. It is said that the swim bladder of large fish can also make bow strings.
The shaft of the feather arrow is cut from a branch. It is relatively straight. There is a triangular arrowhead ground from a shell on its head. However, the shell is not as white as Cymbidium stepped on in the stream, but purplish red. I don't know whether it's its own color or some poison.
When the savage saw him draw his bow, he suddenly turned and ran away. Aoki certainly wouldn't let him run away. He shot an arrow and hit the savage's ass.
The savage screamed and continued to run desperately regardless of the pain. Aoki shot another arrow, this time hitting the calf. The savage Kutong fell to the ground.
There were two wounded on the ground. One was broken in the knee by petru with a sniper gun and was still crying on the ground. The man was abandoned. Aoki picked up a spear to help him end his pain, and then walked to the savage who was shot by his arrow.
The panic on the savage's face, who was still very afraid just now, suddenly disappeared, turned into anger and ferocity, and roared at the green wood.
Aoki walked over and kicked him unconscious. Then he pulled out the arrow on his leg and took a look. He found that the blood on the arrow was black, indicating that the arrow was indeed poisonous.
Aoki doesn't intend to kill him. When he wakes up, he will find a way to detoxify himself. As long as he follows him quietly, he can find the antidote. Unfortunately, Aoki has only one person and can't do two things at the same time. He decides to take the living man back first, and then come back to track the savage. It should be enough time to calculate.
There was a flash in the distance, like a flash of lightning hiding in the clouds, followed by a dull noise. Aoki determined that it was not thunder but explosion. He didn't know whether petru threw a grenade or a savage triggered the infantry mine he arranged.
He looked up and saw some smoke rising from the distant hillside. A black bird circled in the sky, then flew higher and higher, slowly turned into a black spot in the field of vision, and penetrated the clouds in the sky.
Aoki looked at the disappeared crow and thought its behavior was a little strange. Why did he fly so high? It seldom flies so high.
He looked at the sky for a while. He didn't see the crow again. He picked up the man who had been knocked unconscious by him and walked back. Carrying a person on his back naturally slows his walking speed. In addition, he doesn't want to leave a trace. He still repeats his old trick. He wades back in the lower reaches of the stream. It's a little late when he returns to the cave, but petru and the crow haven't come back yet.
It's normal that petru didn't come back. After all, it takes a long way to get back here and get rid of the tracking of savages, but it's a little strange that the crow didn't come back. It should come back first to report, and even fly back and forth between the cave, green wood and petru.
Su Huilan said, "nothing will happen?"
Aoki was also a little worried. He put the fainted savage on the ground and said, "this man will be handed over to you. Study their mental power and subconsciousness to see if there is any way to hypnotize."
Then he took out some of the food from his bag, "these things are for you to fill your hunger first."
Su Huilan said with a smile, "these are what the boss of Hanran and coal like to eat. It's not good for us!"
Aoki said, "I can't care so much. Anderson needs nutrition. Now I'll meet the coal boss and find out if there's anything to eat."
Suhuilan sent him outside the cave and opened her mouth to say something. She didn't say it at last. She just said, "be careful."
Aoki gave a sound and left.
On the way, I didn't meet the coal boss and petru, and I didn't hear the gunshot again. Aoki had an ominous hunch.
The scene where the savage was killed just now was still there. Several dead bodies were lying on the ground, indicating that no other savage had come, but the injured and poisoned guy disappeared. He should have run away after waking up.
There were blood and footprints on the ground. Qingmu followed these footprints carefully and found the savage under a big tree soon.
He lay on the ground with one leg straight and one leg bent. He kept a crawling position. His left hand stretched out far ahead, as if he wanted to catch something. The arrow on his leg had been pulled out, but the whole leg was black from his calf to his hip, which looked terrible. I don't know if it's a toxic attack or the cause of excessive blood loss. I'm so stiff on the ground and don't move.
Aoki looked in the direction of his finger and found that there was the trunk of the big tree. The trunk of this tree is thick and thin, the bark is reddish brown, the tree is very tall, but the branches and leaves are not dense.
He looked up at the big tree and suddenly remembered what he had just seen in the telescope. It was as if he was climbing on such a tree.
Aoki walked over and cut the bark with a knife. He saw the reddish brown juice flowing out of the tree. He thought of the reddish shell arrowheads on the feather arrows and guessed that the tree might be a poison rather than an antidote.
He touched the strength artery of the savage and found that the man was still alive. He slashed the savage's arm with a knife stained with tree juice. The blood from the wound immediately turned black.
Aoki is sure that this is the venom, so what is the antidote?
Savages must have come here to find an antidote. Unfortunately, he fell short, only the last step.
Qingmu thinks of curare wood in southern Yunnan. Its trunk is tall, and its toxicity mainly comes from its sap. It is somewhat similar to this kind of tree in front of us, but the juice of curare wood is milky white, and the bark is also white, but the bark and juice of this tree are reddish brown.
In the medicine woman's dream, Aoki saw the antidote of arrow poison wood, red backed bamboo pole, which is a kind of reddish brown wild grass, which grows near arrow poison wood.
Aoki thought that the arrow poison wood was white, the red backed bamboo pole was reddish brown, and the tree was reddish brown. Would it be the opposite, and the detoxifying grass was white?
The savage's hand extends to the trunk of the tree, and there are many weeds next to the trunk, and the antidote is likely to be among them. It's just that the weeds here are in a mess, and I don't know which one is the antidote. If you use it wrong, you won't be able to detoxify, and you may be poisoned by other poisons.
He looked carefully, found several white plants in the Bush, cut the grass stem with a knife, squeezed out a little milky juice and dropped it on the savage's wound. After a while, the black on the wound seemed to fade.
Although we are not 100% sure that this is the antidote and do not know the correct usage, this is the best result, and Anderson's hope of survival has greatly increased.
Qingmu pulled out the white grass, grabbed it in his hand, and hurried back.
When he returned to the cave, petru and the coal boss had not come back, and it was dark.
