After observing the surroundings, Charles concluded that the person who took the little girl's father away was not far ahead.

Following the path under their feet, they crossed the small earthen slope and walked a few steps forward. Sure enough, a lakeside campsite appeared before their eyes.

Charles, who was leading the group, changed his mount's running to walking and kindly reminded everyone, "Everyone, be careful."

While being on guard against possible enemies, several people carefully entered the camp.

As he approached, he saw that the camp was so simple that Lin Yan felt like he was having a picnic by spreading a sheet on the grass in the community. Not to mention the medium-sized camp of the Van der Linde gang, even the small camp of the German woman just now, even though it was in a mess, was much better than this place.

Two simple tents for one person to rest, a few sacks on the ground, some messy wooden boxes, a carriage, a bonfire, and a few empty wine bottles are all that this camp has.

As soon as he reached the edge of the camp, before he began to search the camp, Arthur concluded: "No one is here, neither the kidnappers nor the kidnapped."

Even Lin Yan understood what Arthur wanted to say, and the others understood it immediately.

Charles was about to tell Arthur that it would be a good place to camp, but Lin Yan said to himself, "I think this place is great. It's more secluded than the Horseshoe Lookout, the scenery is nice, and you can go fishing from time to time. Isn't this better than the river just now?"

"Indeed, this place is also easier to defend." Charles was not angry because Lin Yan interrupted him, but added with a smile.

After being introduced by Lin Yan and Charles, Arthur suddenly felt that this place was much more pleasing to the eye.

He looked at his surroundings again with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Well...indeed..."

Seeing that the men in front of her did not look for people properly, but instead started discussing whether this place was suitable for camping, Sadie said loudly and a little irritably: "You guys... have you forgotten what we are here for... Find someone first! Once you find someone, we can talk about other things!"

Sadie's shout woke Lin Yan and Charles up instantly. After remembering why they came here, they immediately started searching around the camp.

After a brief search, the camp area was quickly ruled out. Charles relied on the old method and followed a trail of deep footprints to a large tree at the edge of the camp near the lake.

"Don't look for him anymore. He's here."

The other three rushed to the tree upon hearing the news. Seeing the man's condition at this time, Lin Yan felt sympathy and a little funny.

The man's mouth was gagged with a piece of cloth, and his hands and feet were tied behind his back and hung on the tree. But that was not all. The key point was that there was a big rock on his back.

This posture and this shape reminded Lin Yan of the beam scale he had seen in the market when he was a child.

These robbers are quite creative and have a way of torturing people. Lin Yan bit his lips tightly, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Seeing the man's condition, Arthur sighed at first: "Oh... poor guy... it seems that he suffered a lot before we got here."

Then, he and Charles each took the stone off the man's back while the other cut the rope to free the man.

As the two of them moved, the man kept shouting "Hmm...Hmm...Hmm...", shaking his head and winking. Lin Yan was the first to notice that something was wrong with the other party. The man's behavior seemed to be reminding him and his group of people of something.

When this idea came to Lin Yan's mind, he stepped forward and grabbed the cloth in the man's mouth, pulling it hard to create a space for the man's mouth to speak.

"Outdoors...outdoors...the city is in a hurry!"

The man's pronunciation was unclear and had a foreign accent. Lin Yan was confused, but Arthur understood what the other party wanted to express from his pronunciation and expression.

He immediately gave up trying to rescue the man and ran towards the carriage parked not far away, saying as he ran: "Hurry up and find cover! We've been ambushed, this is a trap!"

Charles, who was always alert, loosened the half-cut rope as Arthur made a move and rushed out after Arthur. His target was several wooden barrels piled next to one of the tents.

Lin Yan and Sadie's reactions were actually not slow, but just as they were about to move, a group of people rushed out from the woods around the camp, firing guns indiscriminately, and surrounded the four people in the camp in a fan shape.

It was obviously unwise to run to other shelters in the hail of bullets, but fortunately the tree where the man was hanging was big enough to accommodate Lin Yan and Sadie if they squeezed together.

Judging from the gunshots, there were quite a few people surrounding him, but Lin Yan was no longer the rookie he was when he first arrived. Pulling out the revolver from his waist, he thought to himself: Fortunately, it was a slim girl like Sadie who came. If it was Bill, I would have been squeezed out and shot.

When the gunshots rang out, Charles was still some distance away from the wooden barrels he used as cover. He slid horizontally for nearly five meters and successfully hid behind the cover.

After the original owner of this camp surrounded the place, one of them shouted to Lin Yan and the others:

"Listen, everyone in the camp. As long as you can pay a ransom of $5,000, we will let you leave safely!"

"Ha, five thousand dollars!" Charles took off the longbow from his back, and leisurely pulled out an arrow, saying, "It seems they don't know that Arthur alone is worth five thousand."

What? Arthur is actually so valuable? In the bounty missions I did a few days ago, no one was worth more than 100. This is the difference...

Hearing Charles mention Arthur's bounty, Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"Sorry, we were in a hurry today and didn't bring that much money with us." Arthur replied, "Also, I want to say that we have our eyes on this place. If you want to survive, you should move out obediently."

The man who was shouting was furious when he failed to ask for the ransom. Instead, this group of outsiders took over and asked them to move out. He said angrily, "Damn it! This guy is playing tricks on us! Guys, let him see how powerful we Lemoyne Raiders are!"

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bullet pierced his forehead accurately.

The corpse fell to the ground with a thud. Lin Yan pulled the bolt and ejected the shell, muttering, "I am so kind that I waited for him to finish his words."

The sudden gunshot became the signal for the two teams to attack. Arthur and Sadie's revolvers, the hunting bow in Charles' hand, and the rifle that Lin Yan had reloaded, all revealed their bloodthirsty side.
