But it's no use saying anything now, since they've already come all this way, and it's clearly impossible to get them to leave.
After all, how could these indigenous people let us leave like this?
They're going to use us as a sacrifice...
Mu Cuo previously said that this kind of sacrifice takes time; in our terms, it requires the right time, place, and people.
Now that their sacrificial ceremony, which they had been preparing for for so long, had been ruined by Wang Xiaoxiao and her group, the enmity between them had only grown stronger.
At that moment, I grabbed Wang Xiaoxiao and pulled Xiao Qiang behind me, only to discover that Xiao Qiang was holding a gun.
Wang Ping had just run over, carrying a large knife and the gun I had given him earlier.
Wang Ping looked at me and then at Chen Jian. We were unharmed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not convenient to talk about Sihai right now. Let's leave here first and talk about it later."
Upon hearing Wang Ping's words, Chen Jian immediately grabbed his wooden stick and leaned over to look at Bai Wei and the foreigners following behind Wang Ping, his eyes filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
"But in this situation, there's no way we can get out. Don't forget, there are fucking people all around us."
At this moment, the indigenous people stood outside, holding their usual tools, looking at us with cold eyes.
I quickly looked around and realized that we were indeed near the sea, but in the woods.
The surrounding woods were covered with many markers made of red cloth, and we were now in an open space.
Seven large stones stood around the open space, and the stones were completely surrounded by firewood. The firewood next to me was still burning and had not gone out.
Clearly, those scorching waves of air just now were released from these burning piles of firewood.
Strangely, I didn't see any pirates around, but I did see two indigenous people holding guns. They were staring at us with their guns raised, but they didn't make any moves.
I didn't know what they meant, and could only guess that perhaps they couldn't kill the sacrifice, or perhaps they didn't know how to use a gun at all.
I glanced nervously at Wang Xiaoxiao beside me and noticed blood on her hands. I was startled and was about to ask when Wang Xiaoxiao quickly explained.
"It's not my blood; it's from when I just killed an indigenous person..."
Only then did they realize that Wang Xiaoxiao was still trembling. After all, it was quite terrifying that such a gentle and weak girl had killed someone.
Suddenly, the old man started muttering something again, and Mu Cuo, who was standing next to him, immediately frowned and retorted.
Mu Cuo and the old man mumbled and argued for a long time, getting more and more agitated.
Muta, who had been silent until now, has also woken up. Although he is still a little weak, he leans against Chen Jian and softly translates for us.
The local old man said, "We absolutely cannot leave this place because the sacrificial rites have already begun around here. If we don't want to implicate others, then we should make everyone else leave now. Only in this way can Wang Xiaoxiao and the others escape this disaster."
I couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This old man was really confident. If I had no chance to escape this place at the beginning and could only be at the mercy of others, then now I can leave. After all, Wang Xiaoxiao and the others have come. I can't let them die here with me!
So even if it costs me my life, I will take them away.
Wang Ping immediately handed me the gun, and I quickly cocked it. Then, I looked at the old man and fired a shot at his feet.
The two indigenous people holding guns next to me were clearly terrified, and the dark muzzles of their guns immediately pointed at me.
Almost instinctively, I shielded Wang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Qiang behind me. Chen Jian, Wang Ping, and I were wearing bulletproof vests, so as long as he didn't blow our heads off, we wouldn't die.
Moreover, at a time like this, if one is too afraid of dying, one obviously won't live much longer.
I took a deep breath and looked at Mu Cuo: "Tell him that I won't kill him if he lets us go, otherwise I'll trade my life for his and kill this old man today!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Cuo was about to speak when Wang Xiaoxiao suddenly whispered, "Don't be afraid, Xiao He and the others are behind us. They should be lying in ambush nearby. As soon as this old man makes a move, he's doomed!"
I was stunned and hadn't reacted yet. What was going on? How did Xiao He and the others run into us again?
And why did Xiao He and his team come all the way here to rescue us?
After hearing Mu Cuo's words, the old indigenous man next to me suddenly raised his hand, and the indigenous man standing next to me with a gun raised his gun, seemingly intending to kill me on the spot.
We were too close together, and with Wang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Qiang behind me, I absolutely couldn't hide.
At this distance, if that shot hits me, I'd be seriously injured even if I didn't die!
Just then, Chen Jian, who was originally standing to my side, suddenly lunged in front of me and swung the stick in his hand at one of the indigenous people.
The indigenous people probably never imagined that we would be so tough. When Chen Jian's wooden stick hit the gun in the indigenous person's hand, the indigenous person cried out and instantly dropped the gun.
But another indigenous person suddenly pulled the trigger and shot the ground, sending dust flying everywhere. Wang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Qiang screamed in fright.
Bai Wei picked up a few stones from somewhere and started throwing them at the indigenous people like a madman, causing chaos in the scene.
Wang Ping, holding a large knife, looked at me and shouted, "Sihai, run! We can't stay here! They have reinforcements!"
I knew this without him saying it; those pirates would definitely come back to help, and our situation would only get worse.
So I immediately turned around to call Wang Xiaoxiao, but just then, a series of gunshots rang out behind me. Before I could turn around, I heard Xiao Qiang exclaim in a low voice, "Damn it, the pirates are here!"
Meanwhile, the gunshots were very close. The tree trunks around us were being hit with a crackling sound, and the ground beneath our feet was being blasted into a cloud of dirt by bullets.
Just then, I heard a foreigner next to me cry out in pain, and then a strong smell of blood spread.
The pirates arrived too quickly. If this stalemate continues, we're doomed...
