In the first few years when the American Fur Company monopolized the fur trade in the Missouri region, there were still many bold businessmen who dared to take risks. However, after all the foreign businessmen who entered disappeared without exception, slowly, no one dared to take the risk and challenge the authority of the American Fur Company.
Not long after Chen Mo and the other two entered the forest, a fur purchasing team composed of ten armed men also set out in advance. They followed closely behind Chen Mo and the other two, quietly following the tracks they left behind.
At the edge of this vast forest, Chen Mo was leading Viktor and James along a path that was often trodden by people who often went into the mountains into the depths of the forest.
The two little guys were like two small beasts that had been released from their cages. They were completely different from the dispirited look they had when they were in New York. Their eyes were bright, and their faces were full of excitement and joy. They walked quickly on the rugged forest path in high spirits. Tall trees of different thicknesses were scattered randomly in the forest. The branches stretched everywhere, occupying every corner of their sight.
Although it was already late autumn, the forest in Missouri was not as bleak as in Canada. The leaves on the trees were yellow and green. Although the ground had been covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, the leaves on the trees were still very lush. The whole forest was still full of vitality.
Although the lush foliage did not completely block the sky like in summer, it still blocked most of the sunlight. The fine sunlight passed through the gaps between the leaves, sprinkling mottled light and shadow on the ground, showing a different kind of beauty of the forest that was completely different from the forest in the Canadian Rockies.
The two little guys were also attracted by the scenery that was completely different from their hometown. They kept walking, and their two little heads looked left and right from time to time, observing everywhere. They were even more excited than when they first arrived in New York.
Chen Mo also had a pleasant expression as if he was on an outing. He walked behind the two little guys, leisurely admiring the undamaged forest scenery at the beginning of the 19th century.
Suddenly, Chen Mo's eyes moved, and he could not help but slow down his pace.
Naturally, the commotion behind him could not be hidden from Chen Mo's ears. When Chen Mo, who was advancing into the depths of the forest, heard a series of hurried and dense footsteps coming from several hundred meters behind him, the corners of his mouth could not help but curve up slightly.
Although Chen Mo did not see what happened in the village, he had already expected it. After all, the American Fur Company under John Jacob Astor had controlled the fur trade in the Missouri region for more than ten years. They must have completely controlled the surrounding villages that entered and exited the forest. There was no way they could hide their whereabouts from the personnel of the American Fur Company.
However, Chen Mo had no intention of hiding. On the contrary, Chen Mo's target was them!
Since the "prey" had taken the initiative to chase after him, Chen Mo did not continue to move forward. He waved his hand to stop Viktor and James, who had been in high spirits ever since they entered the forest.
"Don't go. Your prey is about to arrive. Get ready for battle!"
The two little ones, who were happily walking through the beautiful forest as if they were on a spring outing, couldn't help but stop when they heard the words. They turned their heads to look at Chen Mo in confusion.
Facing the two's puzzled gaze, Chen Mo said with a smile.
"As I said, the purpose of our trip this time is to hunt. However, the target of the hunt is not animals, but people! Your prey this time is ten armed men with guns! "
When they heard that the long-awaited hunt turned out to be a battle with humans, Viktor and James did not show any disappointment.
After a series of battles from Canada to the United States, the two were no longer the rookies who had never killed anyone before.
The two, whose special abilities were stimulated, contained a strong wildness in their hearts. Viktor's performance was the most obvious. Although James awakened later, under the influence of this wild instinct, he quickly became belligerent.
Whether it was the feeling of blood boiling during the battle, or the feeling of their strength slowly increasing after the battle, it made the two yearn for battle.
Previously in New York, because they were in a bustling city, the two were inevitably affected by the secular law and did not dare to think about fighting. In fact, on the way out of New York, the two had been looking forward to the arrival of bandits and robbers so that they could have a chance to fight again.
They did not think of taking the initiative to look for targets to fight.
They did not expect the "hunt" Chen Mo mentioned to be a battle with armed men!
If they were to fight ordinary civilians, the two would inevitably have scruples and conflicts in their hearts. After all, they also had their own sense of right and wrong.
But armed men were different. Including James, the two did not have any conflicts in their hearts.
The two did not have much contact with the world. All the armed men they had seen did not seem to be good people.
Thomas used a gun to kill James' adoptive father, John Howlett. The armed men they encountered along the way were all bandits and robbers. At this time, when they heard Chen Mo say that there were ten armed men with guns, the two naturally categorized them as bandits and robbers.
However, their understanding wasn't wrong. For the Native Americans of the Missouri region, the armed men of the American fur company were bandits. They only had to pay a small price to take away a large amount of fur from their hands. They would even kill people if they didn't agree with what they said.
For the foreign fur merchants who entered the Missouri area to trade in furs, they were more terrible than bandits. Not only did they take away their materials and furs, but they would also take away their lives!
To some extent, getting rid of these lackeys of the American fur company could be considered as getting rid of evil for the people!
After the two belligerent children learned that a big battle was about to happen, not only were they not afraid, but they were also full of excitement.
After waiting for so long, they could finally fight to their heart's content. Compared to hunting animals, they were more willing to fight with humans!
The two of them immediately brandished their respective weapons. The sharp nails on their fingers and the sharp bone spurs on their fists elongated and grew out. Their originally lively expressions, like that of children on a spring outing, were quickly replaced by crazed and fierce expressions.
As the "prey" rapidly approached, the two who had the keen senses of animals also discovered their location. They turned around together and looked behind them with sharp eyes. Their hands were spread out on both sides, and their bodies were slightly leaning forward. They were like ferocious beasts that were ready to attack at any time.
