Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 143
In front of his subordinates, Burton was always the most majestic commander, serious and wise, as if nothing could make him feel irritable or angry, no matter how fierce the battle was, he could laugh out loud.
But this time, the elite soldiers of the British Royal Navy died in the hands of these beasts.
When he saw Gore returning to his life, he took two deep breaths, suppressed the anger and irritability in his heart, and asked in a very calm voice.
“How about the loss?”
“We have one hundred and fifty-six people left, Brigadier General. I don’t think we should stay here. The smell of blood is too heavy here. There may be more beasts chasing the smell of blood.”
Various bloodthirsty beasts have begun to appear in the jungle, but seeing a large number of soldiers dare not go forward.
“Inform Gordon, we have to prepare to leave, load all the supplies on board, be smart.”
After receiving the order, the soldiers buried the bodies of the dead and retreated. After everyone left and went away, the whole jungle became a carnival for bloodthirsty people.
The small boat was a lot empty, not only because of the reduction in personnel, but also because of the sharp reduction in supplies.
There is still a lot of food left, but there are only less than twenty barrels of gunpowder left, which is a bit stretched to distribute to more than 100 soldiers, and the large consumption of fish oil as a fuel makes lighting very problematic during their expeditions behind them. .
“How many bullets do we have left?”
In the boat, Burton was asking Gore for more information on supplies.
“With less than 800 rounds of brigadier generals, there are almost five bullets left for each soldier.”
“Where’s Gordon?”
“It’s even worse than us.”
“We have to avoid more battles, at least until the Spaniards are found.”
……
On the boat, many sailors rested directly on the swaying boat because they were busy all night. Fortunately, they did not encounter more accidents along the way. There were no crocodiles and no piranhas.
On this day, they hardly rested, they advanced forty kilometers along the broad main watershed, and gradually entered the middle of the Caroni River watershed.
The pink sandy beach is here, which is formed by alluvial pink sandstone, which is extremely magnificent.
This is the Caroni River Valley during the day, full of beautiful and attractive scenery, but danger always coexists with beauty, and the virgin jungle in the night is simply terrible.
Along the way, you can even see reindeer and grizzly bears drinking water by the river from time to time. They seem to be looking at this human fleet with some curiosity.
The wind blew through the jungle, and the treetops floated in the direction the wind blew. From time to time, there were sounds of various birds and beasts in the jungle, and a howler monkey made a sharp roar, and then threw it in the direction of the fleet in the river. Stone.
Gordon was in a daze in the boat. Being woken up at two o’clock in the morning seemed more serious than not sleeping all night. He didn’t wake up until the afternoon.
“What time is it? Serena.”
He raised his head and felt that his eyes were still a little bloodshot.
“It’s three o’clock, but I think you should clean up your lap first.”
Gordon rubbed his eyes with his hands, then tried to open them, and asked, “What’s on my leg?”
“It’s Mr. Leech Gordon.”
“Leech!”
Gordon opened his eyes abruptly, and then saw that there were two leeches on his legs that had already eaten up. His body had grown to an unbelievable level, and he was not ready to stop.
“Oh, shit, who can help me get rid of this kind of thing!”
Of course, this kind of thing is not a terrible thing, but that black and twisted body always makes people feel extremely disgusting, and Gordon is not willing to touch this kind of thing with his own hands.
Just like someone is afraid of mice, Gordon can’t stand this disgusting thing at all.
“Don’t worry about the captain.”
Hearing Gordon’s order, Jon directly scooped up the oar that was rowing in the water, and then slammed it at Gordon’s leg!
boom!
“Ah ah!”
The screams rose, scaring up many soldiers who were still sleeping.
“Damn, can’t you take it easy? This is murder!”
“Sorry Captain.”
Of course, the effect was obvious. The two well-fed leeches burst open in an instant, and blood splattered everywhere, causing Gordon’s face to twitch violently.
“Selina, I feel like I’ve lost a lot of blood. Let me pour it.”
The visual impact was huge, blood was everywhere, and even Gordon’s shoes were stained red.
Seeing Gordon fall straight down, Serena ducked aside without hesitation, causing Gordon’s forehead to almost hit the side of the ship.
“Hey, you really have no sympathy.”
The latter just rolled his eyes and shoved Queline into Gordon’s arms.
“Relax, Captain Gordon, the doctor said that bloodletting can help heal and whiten people.”
……
“There’s a boat ahead!”
The sharp-eyed soldiers saw that there was a small boat tied to the river in front. Besides them, there were only those Spaniards.
“Everyone is ready to dock!”
At Burton’s order, the ship began to dock to the side.
Here, is another Spanish camp, and not far away, there is another small waterfall.
“What are they looking for~www.mtlnovel.com~sir.”
Gore briefly inspected the camp with the soldiers and came to a conclusion.
There’s a lot of dirt that’s been turned over under the waterfall, and they’re digging for something.
“What do you think it is?”
Burton asked Gordon beside him.
“Probably ‘angels’, they know more than us, but we can also know from this that the angels are something buried under a waterfall, and they don’t know the location.”
“We have to figure out what it is, otherwise we will be very passive.”
“Of course, Brigadier General, but we have to find those Spaniards, and I don’t think if we fight them now, it won’t take much advantage.”
Through the inspection of this camp, it seems that the Spaniards are no better than them.
On the north side of the camp, there is a new corpse pit, where the bodies of about ten Spanish soldiers are buried.
Burton covered his nose with a towel to stop the foul-smelling corpse.
Yes, Gore led someone to dig out this corpse pit to check the cause of their death and prepare his own people.
“Is there any gain?”
“Yes, Brigadier General, these people have no obvious trauma, their faces are blue, and the cause of death should be poisoning,”
“This jungle is really no safe place.”
Burton looked at the sky, and then looked at this basically ready-made camp. In order to prevent a repeat of last night’s incident, he decided to build a more solid camp, even if it would take more time.
Moreover, soldiers do need more rest to ensure energy and combat effectiveness.
“To order the soldiers to camp here, give me a little more detail.”
“Yes, Commodore!”
