Chapter 1023 Hook helps

In the valley, a fire was burning in the dense forest, using smokeless dry wood. The light of the fire was blocked by the dense woods. It was impossible to spot the bonfire until you were in front of it. There were more than a dozen people sitting quietly beside the bonfire, all dressed as locals. Some of them got up, and when they saw Luo Zheng and others, their expressions changed drastically. They quickly drew their bows and arrows, and shouted something. Everyone around the campfire got up, spread out around, and looked for cover in the trees, with guns in their hands. Carrying a large bow on his back.

Luo Zheng and others were startled and raised their guns one after another. The people who led Luo Zheng and others quickly waved their hands and explained something. A strong man walked up from behind a big tree and shouted in surprise: "Really?" Is this an old friend here?" He used international language that was not standard but understandable.

The voice sounded familiar, and Luo Zheng answered uncertainly in international lingua franca: "Is it Hook?"

"Hahaha, we are indeed old friends, great." The strong man was overjoyed and shouted a few words in the local dialect. The men hiding in the woods rushed out one after another, very happy.

"Sure enough, it's you." Luo Zheng walked up and saw that it was indeed Hook. He couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the other person up and down and said, "Tsk, tsk, it's changed a lot. His body is stronger. By the way, here is a good place." This is not your territory, why are you here?"

"We came here after chasing a jaguar, but we didn't expect to meet you." Hook said happily, pointing to a huge dead jaguar thrown beside the bonfire, while helping everyone to go to the bonfire. Sit down and talk.

Luo Zheng picked up a broken wooden cushion and sat down on it. He glanced at the mountain eagle. The mountain eagle understood and asked Zhou Gang and others to disperse their alert. Luo Zheng looked at Hook and smiled: "I really didn't expect to meet him. To you."

"Yeah, why are you here? Do you have a mission?" Hook asked in surprise. As a former soldier, Hook knew very well that people like Luo Zheng would not come here.

"Yes." Luo Zheng admitted frankly without hiding anything.

Luo Zheng's frankness made Hu Ke even more fond of him. He patted his chest and said, "No matter what it is, if you need us for anything, just say it. We only have so many people this time. We don't have enough manpower. Give me five days and we can gather a thousand people." Come here, thanks to your blessing, I have integrated several tribes and formed a tribal system of management. I am the chief of the tribe."

"Congratulations." Luo Zheng said politely, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you know there is a river over there?"

"I know, there is a group of foreign armed forces on the other side of the river. They have been there for more than ten years. They are very powerful. We have an agreement with them that we cannot cross the river for hunting, and they cannot cross the river. Why, are you here for them? Hook asked in surprise.

"Yes, they robbed our things." Luo Zheng said frankly.

"That's it." Hook thought deeply. After a moment, Hook seemed to have made some important decision, and said with a serious face: "Give me five days, and I will mobilize all the armed forces, a thousand people, Come and behave, you take command and kill them.”

"No, you don't need to take action." Luo Zheng knew how powerful the blood leeches were. Hook's men would die if they went up to them, so he refused without hesitation.

"You look down on us?" Hook's face changed and he asked dissatisfiedly: "We are no longer what we used to be. Our combat effectiveness is twice as strong as it was half a year ago. We are definitely not as good as you, but we are still capable of fighting. As old friends , Forget it if you don’t know, now that you know, you must take action, otherwise I will be sorry to my ancestors.”

"Don't get excited. What I mean is that I don't want to fight them head-on. I don't need too many people. I need to enter the cave. In addition to the entrance and exit of the cave, do any of you know any other way?" Luo Zheng explained quickly.

"Is that so?" Hook pondered for a moment and murmured something to the people around him that Luo Zheng and the others couldn't understand. Soon, Hook turned around and said to Luo Zheng: "When they were entrenched over there, we were still He is only a teenager and has never been there before, so he doesn’t know anything about it, but Lang Sen said that his father had been there. Lang Sen’s father is the best hunter here and has been to many places, so just call him here.”

"Really? That's great, then I'll trouble you." Luo Zheng was overjoyed and agreed without any pretense.

Hook immediately said a few words to Lang Sen. Lang Sen happily agreed and ran away in a hurry. He quickly disappeared into the woods. Hook asked everyone to take out the dried meat, roast it and share it with everyone, while recalling the past. , the scene is very harmonious, and it is indeed a happy thing to meet an old friend in a foreign country.

During the conversation, Luo Zheng learned that it would take five days for Lang Sen to come and go. Many things could happen during this time. Fortunately, the Blue Star Tracker activated the device. After everyone chatted for a while, they suddenly heard the faint sound of explosions in the distance. It was very weak, and it certainly wasn't thunder under the bright sun.

Luo Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that Jarhead and the blood leech should be fighting. With Jarhead here, it would be enough to give the blood leech a headache. Lan Xue suddenly said in a low voice in Chinese Mandarin: "We can't wait here for five days. Just wait until we find a way, five days is too long, a lot of things can happen, and if Jarhead gets the better of us, we will be in trouble."

"Yeah, five days is too long, what can you do?" Luo Zheng said worriedly.

"Cross the river and ambush around the Blood Leech Base. If anything happens, we will be able to deal with it in time," Lan Xue said.

"Okay." Luo Zheng thought for a while, agreed, looked at Hook, and said in international language: "Old friend, we are going to cross the river to deal with our opponents. How about we meet here in five days?"

"No, we will go with you. We will have multiple people and helpers, and we will fight with multiple firepowers. We can also hunt for food and take care of logistics." Hook said without hesitation. Seeing that Luo Zheng wanted to persuade him, he was not happy. continued: "That's it. I will never drag you back. They are all elite warriors selected by me. They are familiar with the jungle and will not be a drag. It is very enjoyable to fight with you. Just give us a chance to learn." ."

Speaking of this, Luo Zheng didn't know what to say, so he had to agree. Everyone cleaned up and walked in the direction of the blood leeches. On the way, Cheng He couldn't help but whisper to Luo Zheng: "Are they reliable?"

"At least in my mind they are more reliable than you." Luo Zheng retorted unceremoniously.

"Huh?" Cheng He was speechless for a moment, smiled bitterly, and continued: "I understand, with their help, the chance of success will be much higher."

"Yes, but I don't want them to join the battle that should belong to us on the battlefield." Luo Zheng said with a bitter smile.

"The benevolent are invincible. Your benevolence and righteousness won their friendship, and they repaid you with death. You are much luckier than me. At least you don't have to worry about being betrayed. The comrades who have lived and died together are not as good as the friends we met in different places. In my life It was indeed a failure." Cheng He said with a bitter smile.
