Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 51

Shi Lang ran back into the forest but stopped when he heard a strong roar from the direction of the tribe. He smirked and left the place, leaving traces all over.

He did not conceal his movements and moved to the place where he had the first encounter with the Shamantis. The corpses of those who fought him were yet to be taken back, the warriors were asked to prioritize the search of the Terran. Shi Lang gathered the corpses and took out his knife. He began to carve some sort of design on the chest of the dead bodies.

He tied the ten bodies with the vines of a tree nearby and dragged them all to the crater where he dealt with the Inu-la pack. The ten corpses were laid in a circle, in a way with their heads pointing toward the inside. Shi Lang made it look like the corpses were holding hands. Then he buried a trip mine inside the center and cut off the heads of the corpses. Carefully placed them around the trip mine.

He searched the ground and gathered a lot of twigs quickly. Then, he placed those twigs near the cut-off neck of the dead Shamantis and set them alight. Ten bodies, and ten fires. His idea behind these actions was simply to confuse and trap the enemy. As for the fire, it was to attract the attention of the predators and at the same time the angry Shamanti avenging forces.

After this was done, the boy himself climbed a tree two hundred meters away. Now he needed to wait for the enemy.

…

In the monitoring room, Carlos, tilted his head and asked, “I get it that he is pissed, but what is with all the corpse assembling? He left traces all over the place. I get it that he might be trying to lure the enemy but does he not know that there are a lot of predators inside those woods that can kill him?”

Dalia said, “He has covered his body with the scent that repels the predators.”

Charlotte asked, “What do you mean? Why can other Terran soldiers not get this thing? You know most of the casualties come from the attack of the predators?” she was surprised and thus asked. This information could help the Terran forces a lot.

Dalia said, “Can these troops, soak inside that swamp for three hours? Let me tell you after that guy comes back, you all better have him soak in a serious shower for twenty-four hours. You do not want him around you with that stink.” she scrunched her nose as she said this.

Charlotte understood what she meant. It was like Shi Lang marinated his body in the swamp and merged his body with the scent. So now he did not have his scent on his body, but a strong repulsive smell. Inu-la was a domesticated animal, while the beasts in the forest had even sharper senses, why will they eat something that does not smell good to them.

John said, “The facade of the dead bodies is to give an illusion of witchcraft. This is a guess. He is using reverse psychology. The Shamantis like to dwell in such practices so he is trying to confuse them.” his voice was stable and calm, like a machine.

Only Yuu sat with her gaze fixed at the screen. She did not comment. The rest also discussed for a bit and then started to pay attention to the screen.

…

When Shi Lang finished shooting the Shamantis and left the place, a few tribe members approached the tribe leader and told him about the shooting. The guy rushed out of the hut and came to the door of the tribe. He saw his tribesmen lying in a pool of their blood, some were hanging over the fence, while some stared at the sky with their eyes open.

The guy let out a roar, shaking the surroundings, and commanded, “Sha-lun, you are to guard the tribe. I will chase this Terran bastard.”

Sha-lun was the vice leader of the tribe. He wanted to say something against this order but the laws of the Shamantis were adamant, the big the fist the bigger the voice. He nodded and said, “Lord, be cautious, the forest at night is not safe to traverse in.”

However, the angry leader did not say anything and rushed out of the tribe. The Lord has given up all sanity, his mind was clouded by bloodlust. He did not bring out his weapons. The reason? The Shamantis had a lot of fights with the Terrans but never had their people die at the door. Never have they been so humiliated by Terrans.

The most annoying thing was that this was just one Terran. How can, they, the Shamantis, who fought and pushed back hundred of Terrans lose like this to just one outlander. The man left the tribe and rushed through the woods. He had the strongest skills in the tribe and they were not for naught. He could sense where Shi Lang had passed through.

As he passed through the site where Shi Lang had carved the bodies of his warriors, his eye had turned blood red. He picked up the weapons on the ground and armed himself. Then he proceeded to the site where the drag trails were left all over the ground.

However, when he reached closer to the site where Shi Lang had arranged all the corpses to look like it was some sorcery ritual, he was stunned. He never expected that he would see something in the forest. The lord seemed to have forgotten all his hatred and rage. He looked around and roared in his language.

It seemed as if he was calling Shi Lang to show himself. However, the Terran did not understand and sat hidden in the tree crown. The gun in his hand was aimed at the Lord of the Shamantis, and it was a clear shot. He squeezed the trigger, and then he squeezed it again quickly.

The dash of light flew through the void, and just when they were about to land on the body of the lord…
