America 1881: They Call Me Legend

"Ah, yes, to be precise, I am a geologist. As you know, geology and archeology are inseparable."

The old man took out a box that was not too small from the cabinet and compared it with the mural on the wall, but seemed to think of something again and sighed.

In this dark cave, even if there is a fire, this camera can't capture anything. What did I think at the beginning? I almost lost my life just because of this.

He sat slumped on the ground.

"Are you thirty-five years old this year?" Chen Jianqiu asked with some confusion.

The old man turned his head with a look of sorrow on his face. Hearing these words, a trace of excitement appeared on his face.

"How did you know I was thirty-five? Oh my god, you were the first to say I was thirty-five!"

Those who engage in geology do seem to be more mature.

Seeing that Chen Jianqiu didn't answer, the old man, no, Uncle Holmes spoke first: "What's the matter with you coming to me? It can't be that you happened to pass by and saved me."

Chen Jianqiu took out the human skin map from his pocket and handed it to him.

Uncle Holmes used the light of the campfire to carefully study the human skin map in front of him. The expression on his face changed from initial doubt, to later surprise, to finally joy. The haze brought by the camera just now,

Sweep away.

"Where did you get this?" Holmes asked. "How much does it cost? Can you sell it to me?"

Chen Jianqiu shook his head.

"Can I take a photo later?"

Chen Jianqiu shook his head again.

Holmes felt a little regretful. He stared at the human skin map intently: "This may be a treasure map. The words or symbols on it are from Central America. They may be from the Aztec civilization, but

Judging from the preservation of human skin, it doesn’t seem like it was that long ago.”

"Fake?" Chen Jianqiu raised an eyebrow.

"No, it's probably a branch." He pointed to the valley on the map, "This landscape looks like northern Mexico and the southwestern United States."

US-Mexico border?

"I am very interested in the culture of Central America, but unfortunately I have never been able to make the trip. The original plan was to go there in three years." Holmes reluctantly handed the human skin painting back to

Chen Jianqiu.

"In this way, I will go back to Denver. My good friend Dr. Lockhart is very knowledgeable about this. I will discuss it with him. You can just go and find me there later." He thought for a while, then took it from his clothes.

He took out a crumpled piece of paper and handed it to Chen Jianqiu, "If nothing else happens, I will stay at the Flamenco Hotel."

It has his name printed on it.

Chen Jianqiu nodded and put away the human skin map and pieces of paper.

I don't know if the ogres did not do much to Professor Holmes in order to keep the meat fresh or something, so he had no problem walking at all.

Asuka handed him a biscuit, but the scene in the cave and the pungent smell of blood made it impossible for him to swallow it even though he had seen the world.

The four of them returned along the same path and soon saw the bright entrance to the cave.

Xiao En was about to walk out, but was held back by Chen Jianqiu.

"No, there is someone at the entrance of the cave."

The flying bird also sensed something was wrong. The entrance to the cave was not so quiet just now. From time to time, bold deer would occasionally pass by. Now not only could the deer and rabbits not be seen, but even the chirping of birds could not be heard.

Chen Jianqiu dragged up the body near the cave entrance, held it, and kicked it out.

Sure enough, in an instant, there was a loud burst of gunfire, and the body was quickly beaten into a sieve.

"I'll go, there's really someone there!" Sean was dumbfounded.

At this time, there was really a group of people waiting at the entrance of the cave.

On the high platform where Chen Jianqiu and the others were originally lying, there were now eight or nine well-dressed men, and behind them was the gun-carrying man who shot Brinton to death on a rainy night.

They are all detectives from the Pinkerton Detective Agency.

"Boss, we went out to arrest people on our own. If the boss found out, wouldn't we be killed by him?" asked a lying agent.

The man carrying the gun ignored him. His eyes were bloodshot and he licked his lower lip with his tongue.

I haven't encountered such an interesting prey for a long time.

"If anyone comes out, shoot immediately. Don't hold back. A dead man will not resist." He gave the order.

At this time, a "person" fell out of the hole.

All the guns went off.

The "man" soon lay motionless on the ground, and a group of people were still shooting at the body, causing blood to fly.

The shooting accuracy of this group of people was higher than that of the cavalry Chen Jianqiu had encountered before.

"stop."

The man carrying the gun noticed something was wrong. The shirtless man was originally a corpse.

"You four, push our Gatling up, and the others, follow me around." Although the man was fooled, he became even more excited.

They approached the cave entrance along the same route as Chen Jianqiu and the others. Directly opposite the cave entrance, four people pushed a Gatling gun unloaded from the carriage and entered the shooting position.

"Come out, come out now and I can still keep you alive." The man yelled with a hideous smile. He loaded the lever-action rifle on his shoulder, planning to shoot as soon as anyone showed his head.

No one responded to him.

The machine gun began to roar, pouring bullets into the dark hole.

The bullets ricocheted off the wall inside the hole, causing gravel to fall off and dust to fly everywhere.

"Ouch." A scream suddenly came from the cave, and the man carrying the gun was ecstatic, "One of them has been shot, rush!"

The machine guns ceased firing and a group of people rushed into the cave entrance.

However, what greeted them was a dark spray.

Before they could react, the spray gun fired three times in an instant. The two people in the front row who were covering each other were killed on the spot, and the person behind them was forced back by the third shot.

This is impossible!

How is it possible that someone can fire three shotguns in such a fast time? And it’s so powerful!

The detectives abandoned the two bodies and had to exit the cave.

Someone was indeed shot. The bullet just hit the wall at the entrance of the cave, grazed Sean's thigh and flew over, taking away the clothes and a layer of skin on it.

Asuka dragged Sean behind and handed him over to Uncle Holmes.

Chen Jianqiu pushed forward with a pump-action shotgun, and happened to bump into the surrounding detectives.

Having been single for more than 20 years, Chen Jianqiu was unbeatable in terms of the speed of pulling back the handguard to change bullets. In addition, his reaction was extremely fast, and he fired three bullets in an instant.

With the pump action firing at a semi-automatic rate of fire, it’s no wonder the gun-carrying men outside can’t understand it.

"Push forward!"

Two agents were lost at once, and the man was very angry. Hook Nose gave them the order to follow him. This time he led his men out privately to arrest people. If he couldn't catch someone, he would definitely have no way to explain.

He ordered Gatlin to be pushed forward a certain distance and the entrance of the cave was tightly sealed.

The people in the cave didn't bring any supplies, so we had to block them to see how long they could hold out.

But Chen Jianqiu, who knew that there was another entrance to the cave, was not very interested in accompanying him here. He simply bandaged Sean and led the others to the other side of the cave.

The cave was not big and the corridor was not long. They quickly followed the direction of the wind in the cave and found another exit.

But just as they were about to go out, Chen Jianqiu stopped again.

There are people here too!
