"Hu——" Cao Bianjiao dragged the reclaimed supplies out of the thatched hut. The fire outside had spread to half of the tribe, and the fire gradually spread and was out of control.

The fire-colored light reflected on Cao Bianjiao's face. He squinted his eyes and found that the tribe's people were missing. In the tribe's open space, there were a few corpses lying, and the bullet-hitting natives were struggling unnecessary.

With the medical conditions of the primitive tribe, bacterial infection caused by being hit by a bullet is like a terminal illness and there is almost no possibility of survival.

"Captain, the natives seem to have been scared away by muskets." Li Yizhu and several others found Cao Bianjiao, and they also brought two prisoners.

Before the tribe's chief and elders came to their senses, they looked at the outsiders who appeared in their tribe in horror, their eyes full of fear.

"It seems to be more smooth than planned..." Cao Bianjiao did not expect that the natives were easily scared away by the fear brought by muskets.

According to his plan, after finding the toolbox, he would use kerosene lamps and gunpowder to trigger a larger fire to retaliate. However, after the indigenous people were scared away, the original plan had become unnecessary.

"Fortunately they did not cause much damage to our supplies. All three muskets were intact, as well as paper shells, muskets, and compass." Cao Bianjiao pointed to the supplies box he found and said, "But without the bedding, it would be more uncomfortable for us to spend the night."

"We searched around to see if we could find our bedding or some wild beast's fur. We still have to continue looking for gold mines. It would be bad if there is no warmth." The mineral expert suggested.

"Leave two people to guard them, and the rest scattered to find something to keep warm." Cao Bianjiao said.

After expelling all the natives in the tribe, they had plenty of time to retrieve their supplies and plunder the spoils.

In the half-hole thatched hut thatched huts that had not yet been affected by the fire, they found many furs of wild animals and clothes woven with fur as materials.

"There are their pottery here, containing wild fruits and meat... There seems to be a very thick salt inside, which is used to preserve food, right? I don't know if it can be eaten..." someone said in the clay pot he found.

"The only one left of the dry food and rice we brought!" Someone found the dry food brought by their expedition team, and it seemed that they were eaten by people from the local tribe, with only a little bit of debris left.

Cao Bianjiao watched as the fire in the tribe became increasingly large and soon affected the houses that were not on fire, so he said to his expedition team members: "Let's retreat!"

"What should these two people do?" asked the two soldiers escorting the chief and the tribal priest.

"Since we have broken our faces with this tribe, they will pay the price for the attack on us, so let them and their tribe be buried in the sea of ​​fire." Cao Bianjiao said.

Destroying a tribe is nothing to a general like Cao Bianjiao who has experienced the war of destruction in Nanyang, and there are countless large tribes he eliminated in Nanyang.

Soon two gunshots rang over the tribe, and the chiefs of the tribe closed their eyes and didn't know who they were provoking. He did not expect that the normal behavior of expelling outsiders caused a war.

The surprise attack team of seven people hurriedly left with some of the recovered supplies and wild beast furs.

Before leaving, Li Yizhu looked at the tribe that was on fire. She didn't know if such a fire would cause wildfires. But this was no longer within their consideration. The rivers and streams in the mountains and forests would not cause the fire to spread too much. She was still a little unbelievable. Only seven of them shot more than a dozen enemies with muskets in the conflict just now, and they successfully completed the combat goal without losing any one.

They made signs along the way and easily retreated in the direction they came.

"If they rushed over just now, even if we killed their chief, they would probably be chopped into meat sauce. Unexpectedly, they were scared by muskets and would just escape." A soldier responsible for holding the other leader hostage said with lingering fear.

When he was holding the other chief hostage just now, he was sweating all over and almost couldn't even hold the saber in his hand.

"We have dozens of bullets left. Fortunately, they stood up and didn't dare to move, otherwise it would be a bit difficult to shoot the other party. If they rushed to the place where we were hiding, and when our bullets were exhausted, it would be difficult for us to escape."

"Did you see it just now? I hit two people just now!" The mineral expert who was fighting for the first time said loudly, and his hands holding the gun were still twitching.

Blood and fire caused great stimulation to him, and this adventure that passed by death may have been unforgettable for his whole life.

"Our weapons are much more advanced than them, and the attack is unexpected. It would be strange if there were no such results. The last time we were attacked, if the sentry could discover the enemy in advance, perhaps we would not lose any of us to defeat their offensive. At that time, eleven muskets formed a position and they would collapse soon." Cao Bianjiao said.

When they returned to the river, they found a ragged man sitting on the bow of the boat.

The man saw Cao Bianjiao and his group back, limping and dragging his thighs to greet Cao Bianjiao and his men.

"It's you, you're still alive!" The mineral expert on the expedition team looked at the classmate who was in surprise who fell down the hillside in front of him in surprise.

"At that time, I thought I was going to die. I didn't expect that the trees and vines below the hillside slowed down the descent and thick moss. I survived by chance, but I was seriously injured... I thought that if something happened to you, I was the only one left, but I didn't expect that you were all alive." Another mineral expert who escaped was filled with joy.

Compared to injury, he hoped that the expedition would not be left alone in him, otherwise he would not even know how to leave this ghost place.

"I don't know if the other three people are alive. Let's go back to the boat first, and if they haven't returned tomorrow, we will leave here and continue to look for gold." Cao Bianjiao said.

If another person returns to the team, then the 11-person team actually lost three people. I don’t know whether the three people died in the conflict or fled to the mountains and forests and lost their way. Among the three missing people, the dereliction of duty, it is impossible for Cao Bianjiao and others to hold him accountable.

They stayed on the boat by the river all night, but no one returned the next morning.

"We will first look for gold mines, and then stop at this position when we return. If they are still alive, they may be waiting for us here." Cao Bianjiao said.

The expedition team, which had only eight people left, left the place that had caused them the first frustration.

Cao Bianjiao looked at the mountains and forests with a wisp of black smoke. He knew that when high-level civilizations invaded the territory of backward civilizations, such conflicts were just the beginning.
