Chapter 414 (1/2)

Savages roared one after another, but the gunfire stopped. Aoki doesn't know what's going on. He asks the coal boss to fly over and have a look first:

”You find petru and tell him not to fight. Try to break up the savages. I'll catch one or two alive.”

He remembered what tafiti had seen in his dream and confessed, ”be careful yourself. If you see an old man with a scepter with a hook in his hand, don't come near and come back to me right away!”

After the crow flew away, the green wood followed the direction of the savage's roar, crossed the stream when it came, climbed a higher hillside, took out a telescope and observed it.

In the dense forest opposite, some savage figures can be vaguely seen shuttling. They shout and shout after walking for a while. The cries are long and short, late and urgent. They should be transmitting different messages.

He didn't see petru in the telescope. He thought that he probably hid, so he didn't worry. Only a small group of savages hung far away and waited for the opportunity.

Before long, the crow flew back and circled high, and the dense woods blocked its sight. Aoki saw it looking for him and whistled.

The crow fell down and said petru was hiding on the high ground behind the valley. Aoki followed the crow's hint and went through the woods to find petru through the telescope. The guy chose a place with a good view and hidden. He was covered with branches and long grass. If the crow didn't tell Aoki that he was there, Aoki couldn't find him even with a telescope.

”How did you find him?” Aoki was curious.

The crow said proudly, ”with his little disguise, he can escape my eyes!”

Aoki said, ”come on, don't brag. You are in the sky. There are so many trees. He doesn't disguise. You can't see if you stand there.”

The crow said, ”quack, what, I saw the sound. It climbed on the tree, the tallest one.”

Aoki raised his telescope and saw a strong and tall tree behind petru's hiding place. Its leaves were red, much like the maple in autumn, but its trunk was also red, and it was a lonely tree, like a picture.

Indeed, he squatted on the branches at the top of the big tree.

”What is she doing in the tree?” Aoki asked.

”Maybe it's to help petru watch the wind. Stand high and see far,” said the crow

Aoki always thought it was not like this, but he couldn't think of anything else except this reason.

He said to the crow, ”petru should have seen me. Fly over and tell him to snip a few of the team of savages I follow and leave me two alive.”

The crow said, ”but he was exposed as soon as he shot, and other savages will surround him.”

Aoki said, ”what I want is this effect. It's convenient for me to catch people.”
