Chapter 204 They are scouts
Wu Heyi waved his hand slightly, indicating that Archer should go to the side and rest for a while.
Then, with his brows furrowed, he walked heavily toward the group of hunting party members from the neighboring village who had just been knocked to the ground and were in a sorry state.
Looking at Wu Heyi's furrowed brows and the obvious displeasure on his face, Archer's heart skipped a beat.
He pondered to himself: Could it be that he had been too harsh and had beaten these people too badly, which had angered Wu Yihe and made him want to blame him?
Thinking of this, Archer quickly began to explain.
"Brother Wu, don't worry! I held back when I attacked just now, and I definitely won't let them suffer any serious consequences such as disability!"
However, Wu Heyi seemed completely absorbed in his own thoughts and did not seem to hear Archer's words.
He continued walking forward without turning his head, casually instructing Archer to find a Soul Master skilled in auxiliary healing to help everyone recover from their injuries.
Archer was filled with doubt and couldn't figure out where he had gone wrong.
He opened his mouth, about to say a few more words in his defense, when Brother Qiang, who was standing to the side, quickly grabbed him.
Qiang gave him a wink, signaling him to step back and not say anything more.
Left with no other choice, Archer had to shut his mouth, but his doubts only grew stronger.
At this moment, Archer turned his pleading gaze to Ah-Dai.
To his disappointment, Ah-Dai simply spread his hands helplessly, shook his head, and indicated that he knew nothing about it either, nor did he know what Wu He-Yi was planning.
Wu Heyi frowned slightly, his gaze quickly sweeping over the injured people, taking in every detail of their wounds, bloodstains, and expressions.
Then, he walked forward with steady steps and began to carefully inquire about the circumstances of each person's injury.
After clarifying everything that needed to be confirmed, Wu Heyi suddenly turned around, his face grave, and shouted loudly:
"Enforcement team, come here immediately!"
As his shouts rang out, a group of law enforcement officers in uniform responded and quickly ran towards the scene.
Although they were somewhat surprised by Wu Heyi's sudden order, the law enforcement officers carried out the task without hesitation, out of trust and obedience to him.
They moved with practiced skill and efficiency, quickly subduing the injured men and escorting them toward the prison.
At the same time, Wu Heyi also made sure to instruct a staff member in charge of medical affairs:
"Quickly arrange for a healing Soul Master to treat their injuries. Make sure the injured receive proper medical care."
As the law enforcement team led the injured away, the many onlookers who had gathered there looked at each other, their faces full of doubt and confusion.
Everyone whispered among themselves, discussing in hushed tones what Wu Heyi's intentions were.
However, Wu Heyi did not offer any explanation in the face of the crowd's questions. He simply stood there quietly, gazing thoughtfully ahead.
After those people were successfully escorted into the prison, Wu Heyi slowly got up and walked towards the giant antler deer that had been dead for a long time.
Upon approaching, he first circled the deer carcass, carefully observing its overall condition, then squatted down and began to turn the deer's body over.
A moment later, Wu Heyi, seemingly having discovered something, raised his head, waved in the direction of Ah Dai and the others, and shouted loudly:
"You guys come over here and take a look!"
Upon hearing the sound, Ah-Dai and the others rushed to Wu He-yi's side and looked in the direction he was pointing.
There were some strange marks on the rump and head of the giant deer, which looked like wounds caused by some kind of sharp weapon, or bite marks left by some animal.
Wu Yi asked with a serious expression:
"Look at these marks, what do they look like? When you first saw them, what did you immediately think of?"
After saying that, he took two steps back, leaving space so that others could examine the traces more closely.
He then walked to the side at a leisurely pace, and after scanning the area, his gaze settled on a villager who was agile and quick-moving.
The agility-based martial soul possessed by this villager is a black and white zebra.
He quickly stepped forward, leaned close to the villager's ear, and whispered two short but crucial words.
As soon as he finished speaking, the villager's eyes lit up, as if he had received an important instruction. He flashed and disappeared from the village entrance like a gust of wind.
By this time, Archer and the rest of the hunting party had carefully examined the wounds on the giant antler deer.
They huddled together, whispering among themselves, each with a look of half-understanding on their face. They seemed to feel that these scars concealed some important information, but they couldn't quite grasp the mystery at the moment.
That feeling is like the answer is right in front of you, but there's always a thin veil between you, making it hard to grasp.
"Unity, are you trying to say that these scars were actually caused by whipping?"
As expected of someone who has served as the leader of a hunting team for many years, Qiang Ge is well-informed and has a certain level of understanding and judgment regarding various types of injuries.
“That’s right.” Wu Heyi nodded without hesitation, indicating his agreement.
Upon hearing Wu Heyi's answer, Ah Dai scratched his head blankly and asked in confusion:
"Brother Wu, even if these whip marks do exist, what do they prove? I can't see any of it."
Just as everyone was lost in thought, a clear voice suddenly broke the silence.
It turned out that Xiao Liu from the group excitedly shouted, "I know! Does this prove that this giant antlered deer was once domesticated by other creatures?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of appreciation flashed in Wu Heyi's eyes. He smiled and looked at Xiao Liu, saying:
"Xiao Liu is absolutely right, it is domesticated! Judging from these neat and orderly whip marks, we can infer that this giant deer is not wild, but has been domesticated in some way."
With Wu Heyi's explanation, everyone suddenly understood, and the doubts that had been lingering in their minds gradually dissipated.
At the same time, the villager who had been hastily dispatched by Wu He to carry out the mission returned jogging back.
He was panting heavily and covered in sweat, but his face was beaming with excitement and flattery.
"Village Chief, you are truly a genius, a master strategist!" The villager praised Wu He as soon as he saw him, looking just like a puppy trying to please its master.
However, Archer, standing to the side, was not having any of it. He frowned, glared at the villager with annoyance, and then raised his hand and slapped the man hard on the back of the head.
With a sharp "snap," the villager stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
As luck would have it, since most of the people in the village were closely related by blood, this villager happened to be Archer's nephew.
So despite being beaten so badly, he didn't dare to have the slightest complaint or rebellious thought.
Instead, he quickly regained his balance, rubbed the spot where he had been hit, and then hurriedly reported to the others.
"Village chief, you just instructed me to go out of the village to check, and to follow the road the hunting team returned on, extending outwards."
You wouldn't believe it until you see it!
It turns out that every thirty to fifty meters or so, a triangular mark appears on the trees along the roadside!
"The village chief is truly amazing!"
The villager spoke excitedly, his voice trembling slightly with emotion.
"What I saw with my own eyes today was almost exactly the same as what the village chief described!"
One of the main reasons the villager was so excited was his identity—he was the gatekeeper at the entrance of the village.
Throughout the entire day, he didn't even see Wu Heyi leave the village, but surprisingly, Wu Heyi seemed to know everything that was happening outside the village.
Just then, Qiang, who had been silent all along, seemed to suddenly realize something, slapped his forehead, and exclaimed in realization:
"Oh dear! How could I not have thought of that!"
Qiang was so angry that his face turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, and he kept cursing while stomping his feet on the ground.
It turns out that the group of people who had just been imprisoned by Wu Heyi were actually just scouts sent out in advance to scout out the road conditions and act as vanguards.
Thinking of this, Brother Qiang couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed and secretly lamented his misfortune.
