There are many people and great power. This sentence is best reflected when loading the ship.

　　

Almost all the people in the fortress were dispatched. A full 30,000 pounds of grain filled the cabins of the two inland river armed transport ships, and other materials were quickly loaded onto the ship by hundreds of people, so when the stone bears, they left. When it was in Hong Kong, the sun to the west was even half-hanging in the sky.

　　

Stone bears don’t spend the night in the fortress. After all, Ye Changmeng Duo is not a casual talk. The ghost knows that Lieutenant Alphonse will do anything with moths, so when all the supplies are loaded on the ship, Stone Bear immediately ordered to leave Oclone Fortress.

　　

　　 The entire return journey is upstream, but today’s wind direction is very conducive to boats. Starting in the afternoon, the cold air masses from the north end of the North American continent have caused a violent northwest wind to blow on this land.

　　

　　 The sails on the four armed transport ships were pulled up. The huge sails were quickly blown up by the violent northwest wind. The next moment, even if the hull is moving against the current, the speed is still not slow.

　　

　　 With the arrival of the northwest wind, the sky began to darken. It is also expected that in the next few days, this area is very likely to have rainfall.

　　

　　 The four boats quickly turned around the big bend when they came, and then, Shi Xiong saw the thick smoke faintly emerging from the shore in the distance. This discovery made Shi Xiong's heart chuckle.

　　

　　 But Shixiong didn't worry about the people from Okron Fortress appearing on Gao Niu's side-Gao Niu led forty soldiers to guard the French prisoners. Stone Bear is more worried about the Chekashas living nearby or the wild beasts on the wasteland.

　　

Bigfoot, who was in charge of leading the tribe to control the ship, also noticed the thick smoke coming out there. He leaned forward and asked anxiously: "Guardian, the smoke coming from there seems to be where Gao Niu stayed. "

　　

　　 "Yes, Gao Niu may be in danger." Shi Xiong said in a deep voice, "Uncle Bigfoot, then speed up as soon as possible."

　　

　　 Bigfoot is a high-ranking member of the Gaoshu tribe, and his brother is Li Lei. But unlike his brother, Bigfoot is very nice and kind.

　　

　　 This is the most intuitive feeling Ishikuma has got since he came into contact with Bigfoot.

　　

Li Lei can only be regarded as a well-behaved tribal leader, far from being outstanding. This is mainly because Li Lei's vision and structure are not enough, and Li Lei is a little cautious. For the sake of this cautious, Shi Xiong was able to No less picking up Li Lei.

　　

　　 But Bigfoot is different, this honest and honest man is really good. If Li Lei is careful, then the big feet as Li Lei's brother is the straightforward man who can see the chrysanthemum with his mouth open.

　　

　　 At the time, Gao Niu brought a group of surviving members of the Long Hair Niu Tribe to Gaoshu Tribe, and Bigfoot was the one who took care of them the most. And Bigfoot is very supportive of the stone bear, or that he is very supportive of the Kabru sacrifice. It is precisely because of this that some time ago when his brother Li Lei and Wolf Tail always aimed at the stone bear, Bigfoot seldom got involved.

　　

　　 It is said that as Li Lei's own brother, Bigfoot should stand firmly on his brother's side, but Bigfoot didn't do that. Perhaps it was because he had always firmly supported the Kabul sacrifice, so when he found out that his brother always targeted the guardian of the Kabul sacrifice, he became the one caught in the middle, so he simply jumped out. , Neither side helps.

　　

　　 This is actually pretty good, but Bigfoot is able to do so is actually a kind of silent support.

　　

　　 Shixiong guessed that this was also because he was just the guardian of the Kabul Sacrifice. If Hongyun encountered such a thing, Bigfoot would definitely stand beside Hongyun without hesitation, and even turn his face with his brother.

　　

　　 But no matter what, Bigfoot is still very much appreciated by Shixiong, so this time he went to Okron Fortress, Bigfoot and Gao Niu became his right-hand men. Bigfoot is in charge of commanding the soldiers who control the ship, and Gao Niu is in charge of guarding the French prisoners.

　　

　　Four armed transport ships moved quickly under the blow of the northwest wind, but even so, it took almost two hours to reach the position where the French prisoners were dropped off the ship in the early hours of the morning.

　　

　　After arriving here, the smoke became more obvious, but the stone bear stood on the deck and stared at it, but couldn't see anything. In order not to be discovered by outsiders, Gao Niu led the tribe's warriors and escorted these French prisoners into the dense forest. Although the trees at this season have long lost their leaves, the woods are too dense, and people can't see what's inside after they get in.

　　

　　 "All the soldiers will load the guns and come with me, and the fighters who control the guns will load the guns. Uncle Bigfoot, you are responsible for guarding." Shi Xiong frowned and ordered.

　　

　　 Bigfoot nodded, and began to command more than a dozen tribal battles to fill the 84mm Valere guns with ammunition. The other tribal warriors took the muskets off their backs and began to load ammunition carefully.

　　

　　 Shixiong didn't take the gun, he took out his big iron bow, and at the same time he had four throwing axes fastened around his waist and the heavy iron spear on his back, and then he took the lead to get off the boat.

　　

　　 This area has solid land that is rare in this area, so there is a large dense forest growing here, and the surrounding is icy marshland.

　　

　　 As soon as he walked into the dense forest, Shi Xiong heard the vaguely humming sound from ahead. It sounds like a warrior of the tribe, and it's not like encountering a Chekasha, it's more like encountering a beast.

　　

　　 Shixiong made a gesture to the soldier behind, and ran in small steps in the direction of the sound.

　　

After going in for a distance of about seven or eighty meters, Shi Xiong saw a large circle of bonfires ignited in front of him. Gao Niu led a large group of people, including the French prisoners, all within this large circle of bonfires. Outside the campfire, a few **** guys are staring at the people over the campfire.

　　

　　 Seeing these big guys, Shi Xiong's pupils couldn't help but shrink. The six big swarthy guys in front of them turned out to be six adult Mi River crocodiles!

　　

　　 "Damn it, why is there such a thing here?" Shixiong couldn't help cursing, and the tribal warriors who followed him hesitated to stop.

　　

　　 All warriors in the tribe have seen this thing. There are also many crocodiles living near the Tennessee River near Knoxville. Of course, the warriors in the tribe know how terrible this ferocious animal is.

　　

　　 When this thing attacks people or other animals, it is usually a bite. But after this bite, whether it is a human or another animal, there is basically no hope of survival.

　　

　　 The deterrent power of such a brutal animal is too great...

　　

　　Stone Bear The sound of their coming footsteps made the six crocodiles all turn their heads. Obviously, the blazing bonfire in front of them made them feel terrified, which also made them irritable. I couldn't eat the delicious food in the front, and a large group came in the back. If I can't eat the food in the front, can I not eat the food in the back?

　　

　　 So, the six crocodiles immediately twisted their bodies, with fierce lights in their twelve eyes, swiftly swinging their bodies and tails and rushing towards the stone bears.

　　

　　 From this distance, Shi Xiong can clearly see the wounds on the bodies of these crocodiles. Obviously, these six crocodiles who didn't know how to emerge suffered a loss just now.

　　

The muskets in the hands of these soldiers led by Gao Niu are not a joke. Although the current muskets fired with lead pellets, their power is far inferior to the bullets of later generations, but this is a thermal weapon after all. The soft lead bullet may be You can't kill these crocodiles, but you can definitely break the skin protection of these crocodiles.

　　

Seeing these crocodiles turned their heads and made an impact on himself and others, Shi Xiong did not hesitate to take out an iron arrow, while shouting loudly to the people behind: "Retreat!" He pulled the big bow into a full moon. .

　　

At a distance of no more than 20 meters, the stone bear hardly needs to aim. In the next moment, a one-meter-long iron arrow easily penetrates through the top of a crocodile's head. The sharp arrow is driven by the huge kinetic energy. , Easily broke the crocodile's skin, and then easily broke the crocodile's skull, and then all the way down, and finally penetrated the entire skull of the crocodile.

　　

The arrow revealed by 　　 went deep into the soft soil, and forcibly nailed the crocodile to the ground.

　　

However, the activity of the crocodile is very large. Even if it was pierced, the crocodile did not die directly. Instead, the crocodile opened its mouth and writhed on the ground desperately. Even the one made of stainless steel has a small finger thickness And the arrow that penetrated the ground for a full foot was pulled out under this huge force.

　　

　　 All the soldiers were startled by the craziness of the crocodile and took a breath, and the speed of their retreat could not help but speed up a lot.

　　

　　 Shi Xiong ignored the crocodile that was pierced by him, and drew another iron arrow, and then opened the bow to shoot the arrow. The next moment, another crocodile was also nailed to the ground.

　　

　　 Unlike the crocodile just now, this crocodile stopped moving the moment it was pierced.

　　

Obviously, the first arrow just now seemed to hit the crocodile, but it didn’t actually cause a one-shot damage to the crocodile. In other words, the arrow didn’t hit the crocodile’s brain. dry. The second crocodile was very unlucky, not only was pierced, but also shot through the brainstem with an arrow.

　　

　　A crocodile has no brain, and a crocodile only has a brainstem.

　　

　　 The brainstem is the most basic existence in the brain. The human brainstem has a nickname called the "crocodile brain".

　　

　　 In terms of human beings, the brain stem is the main control unit that controls the most basic human actions, such as breathing, heartbeat, and stress response to injury. The brainstem is not thinking, and all instinctive reactions are the brainstem, not the brain.

　　

　　 Newborn babies are hungry and ask for milk. The babies want to feed without any thoughts. This is the brainstem controlling.

　　

　　 I was accidentally scalded by boiling water when I poured boiling water. The conditioned reflex that automatically stretched my hand back at the moment it was scalded is also the principle of the brainstem working.

　　

　　 As for things like "Why boil the water" and "How to boil the water", these are the questions that the brain should think about.

　　

　　In other words, the human brain controls the human mind, while the brain stem controls the instinct.

　　

　　 There is no brain in the crocodile's head, only the brain stem, so all the crocodile's actions are based on instinct.

　　

The crocodile’s brainstem controls the crocodile in this way: if the invader is larger than it, whatever it is, it will slip away; if the invader is a crocodile of the same sex, it will fight with it; if the invader is of the opposite **** Crocodile, and the timing is right, then it will mate with it; if the invader is small enough and not of the same kind, then it will prey; if the invader does not fall into the above four conditions, then it will stay in place. No reaction

　　

　　 So, the crocodile's brainstem is a central brain system that is in the self-protection mechanism. We are weaker than it and we will bully it and gain "profits". If it is stronger, we will turn on the mechanism to "buggy".

　　

　　 At the same time, the brain stem is also the crocodile's highest control organization. If other parts of the crocodile are damaged, even if they are opened, the crocodile will not die immediately. But as long as its brainstem is destroyed, the crocodile will die immediately.

　　

　　 The second crocodile was shot in the brain stem by the stone bear with an arrow, and died without a word.

　　

At this distance, the iron arrow fired by the big iron bow in Shixiong's hand is much more powerful than the lead shot fired by the gun. The most important thing is that this kind of arrow made of stainless steel is extremely sharp. Driven by the huge kinetic energy, the crocodile's skull can be easily broken.

　　

　　 The lead shot fired by a musket has no such power. One is because the propellant is not a more powerful smokeless gunpowder but only black powder. The second reason is that the lead shot is too soft. Even if a certain proportion of tin and other metals are added to the lead shot of this era, the lead shot of this era The projectile is still very soft, in any case it can not be compared with later copper-clad steel core bullets.

　　

　　 In addition, the crocodile skin is usually very thick, so in this case, the musket can only break the skin and muscle tissue of the crocodile, but it cannot penetrate the bones of the crocodile, including the skull.

　　

　　 Therefore, although Gao Niu and the others had used muskets to hit the six crocodiles, they were unable to kill the six crocodiles. On the contrary, they made these crocodiles even more manic. Had it not been for the bonfire, I'm afraid Gao Niu would have become the food of these crocodiles.

　　

　　 After the stone bear shot the second crocodile~lightnovelpub.net~, he turned and ran back for a certain distance. After getting away from the crocodile, he opened his bow and shot arrows.

　　

　　 is like flying a kite in an online game. Shixiong quickly shot all the six crocodiles by using the big iron bow in his hand and the moving speed much faster than the crocodile.

　　

　　 It seems that the stone bear shoots these six crocodiles easily, but the fault is that the stone bear is able to do this. I am afraid that the six crocodiles would have been driven around by the six crocodiles.

　　

　　 Others can't pull this big iron bow, so naturally they can't talk about shooting these crocodiles.

　　

　　Everyone on the scene counts as one. Only Shixiong has this arm strength to fill this big iron bow, so only he can shoot these six crocodiles so easily.

　　

　　 Seeing these six crocodiles lying motionless on the ground, Gao Niu led a group of soldiers and the group of prisoners slowly out of the campfire circle. Of course, the horror on their faces was still very obvious.

　　

　　 These six crocodiles must have frightened them...
