As soon as we arrived at the village entrance, an old man came to greet us. Judging from his appearance, he was highly respected in the village, and villagers who passed by would bow and greet him.

As for the language they used to greet each other, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng naturally couldn't understand it.

"He is the village chief of this village, and it was he who asked us to hunt the black tiger this time."

Maya quietly introduced them to Lin Beichen and the other person.

When the village chief walked up to them, Maya began to speak with him in their dialect.

Not long after, Maya called Lin Beichen and told him to go with the village chief.

Fortunately, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng had already changed out of their combat uniforms. Apart from each carrying a dagger, there was nothing else about them that attracted attention.

In this place, it is common for men to carry weapons at their waists, so Lin Beichen and Yu Feng's attire did not cause much of a stir.

“These two are friends from a neighboring country. They need me and my family to take them hunting monkeys in the forest.”

Upon arriving at the village chief's house, before the village chief could even ask any questions, Maya took the initiative to introduce Lin Beichen and his companion.

This was the story they had prepared beforehand on the way.

In this area, hunting wild animals is completely ignored; not only is hunting prohibited, but smuggling is also rampant.

Upon hearing this, the village chief nodded without hesitation and said with a smile, "If you have any other needs, just come to me. I love doing business with people like you."

As they were talking, the village chief took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, skillfully pulled out two, and handed them to Lin Beichen and Yu Feng.

This scene made Lin Beichen raise an eyebrow.

The fact that the other party could produce Hua Zi indicates that they are no ordinary person.

It should be noted that before capturing the venomous snake and others, Lin Beichen and his team had conducted a brief investigation in the surrounding areas of their country.

At that time, there was no expensive cigarette for sale in the village where the venomous snake lived. If the villagers wanted to smoke cigarettes, they had to walk to the nearest county town to buy them, let alone this isolated mountain village mentioned by the Maya.

Despite their doubts, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng still smiled and accepted the cigarettes.

"I'd like to ask, are there any other black tigers around here?"

Lin Beichen pointed to the black tiger skin in Maya's hand and asked.

Given their current identities, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng should naturally show greed for the black tiger in Maya's possession.

"This one? There's only one around here. If you want the tiger skin, I can sell it to you."

The village chief spoke fluently, so fluently that Lin Beichen and Yu Feng had the illusion that he was from the same country as them.

"No, we want the living ones; the dead are worthless."

Lin Beichen quickly waved his hand and said.

Upon hearing this, the village chief shook his head. These black tigers are a result of genetic mutation, and it's impossible for them to have a whole litter.

In fact, Lin Beichen had already asked Maya about this matter before, and now he was just asking again to make her believe their identities.

"That's a pity. But I'll say it again, if you need anything, you can come to me."

After the village chief finished speaking, he stepped into the house. Maya exchanged a few words with him, but due to the language barrier, Lin Beichen couldn't hear what they said.

When the village chief came out again, he had a stack of Chinese currency in his hand, which, upon closer inspection, amounted to about two thousand yuan.

Maya took the money, nodded, and was clearly quite satisfied with the reward.

Lin Beichen was puzzled as to why the other party would use their own country's currency for the transaction, but this was clearly not a good time to ask.

"Father, have we had guests?"

As Maya was talking to the village chief, a loud shout came from outside the house.

After the village chief spoke briefly with the people outside in the local dialect, a man quickly walked in.

The man was wearing gray trousers and a white shirt. The shirt hem covered his waist, but a bulge was still faintly visible.

If he were wearing a knife at his waist, the holster would be exposed, but the bulge clearly doesn't look like a knife. The only reasonable explanation is a pistol!
At that moment, Lin Beichen instantly understood why the village chief was smoking cigarettes.

"Hello, friends from afar! Welcome to our little village."...

The village chief's son also speaks a foreign language fluently, clearly indicating that he interacts with people frequently.

Lin Beichen smiled and reached out his hand to the village chief's son, and the two immediately clasped hands tightly.

Lin Beichen could clearly feel that the other person's hands were covered with thick calluses.

These calluses are quite similar to those on Lin Beichen's hands, and are probably marks left from long-term firearms training!
At this moment, Lin Beichen naturally couldn't speak frankly, but he smiled and winked at Yu Feng beside him.

Yu Feng understood immediately. Although he didn't say anything, he understood Lin Beichen's intention based on their high level of understanding.

Lin Beichen exchanged a few pleasantries with the village chief's son, repeated his earlier remarks, and then prepared to leave.

"Who exactly is his son?"

Lin Beichen frowned and looked at Maya beside him.

At this moment, Maya was the only person they could trust.

After all, if she had revealed Lin Beichen and his group's true identities to the village chief and others, the village chief's son would never have let it go.

“The village chief often buys game and leather from hunters in the surrounding area. In the eyes of us hunters, his family must have sold these things to outsiders.”

Maya pondered for a moment before explaining.

Clearly, Maya knew little about the village chief's family, or perhaps she knew something but didn't know how to express it in words.

Lin Beichen took a deep breath and slowly said, "His son's hands are covered with calluses from long-term firearms practice, and he was probably using an automatic rifle."

The trigger position of the homemade firearms used by hunters differs from that of automatic rifles, which results in different locations of calluses caused by their use.

However, when Lin Beichen shook hands with the other party, he noticed that the location of the calluses matched the location of the calluses on his own hands, which indirectly indicated that the other party was not using a homemade gun.

"Automatic rifle?"

Maya clearly only partially understood what Lin Beichen was saying.

Lin Beichen was generous and gave her a brief explanation.

After listening to Lin Beichen's explanation, Maya frowned, and when she looked at the village chief's house again, her eyes were full of complicated emotions.

"what do you mean……"

After a long pause, Maya took a deep breath.

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Beichen nodded, indicating that she understood correctly.

With the money given to her, Maya purchased some daily necessities from nearby villagers and then headed towards the woods outside the village.

Not long after leaving the village, they saw the village chief's son, Mulin, already waiting at the village entrance.

"Mulin, is there something you need?"

Maya frowned upon seeing this.

She remembered what Lin Beichen had said to her before.

This kind of person couldn't possibly have just happened to be passing by.

“Maya, we have no conflict with you, but we have some things to discuss with your guests.”

Mu Lin smiled and pointed at Lin Beichen and Yu Feng.

As soon as he finished speaking, two men emerged from behind a tree not far away, holding machetes and eyeing Lin Beichen and Yu Feng with ill intent.

"Mulin, are you trying to rob me?"

"If you do this, who will dare to do business with us in the future?"

Upon seeing this, Maya's face instantly darkened. However, Mulin remained unconcerned.

Instead, he smiled and shrugged at Maya, saying, "Maya, this is none of your business. I'm not attacking you because you are one of our people."

“The two thousand five hundred yuan in your hand is the annual income of an average villager in our village.”

"you……"

Maya was clearly furious, but since she hadn't brought a bow and arrows, she could only instinctively reach for the scimitar at her waist and coldly say to Mulin, "They are my guests, and I won't let you succeed."

Mulin reached into his waistband and pulled out a black pistol. He stared at Maya and said, "You are one of my people. I don't want to make things difficult for you. You can still leave now."

“Your father will scold you for doing this.”

Maya's eyes widened, but Mulin across from her showed no fear. Instead, he looked at Maya with interest and said, "My father won't know about this."

“I’ve already given you a chance. If you don’t want to leave, now you have no choice but to stay with them.”

"However, I won't make things too difficult for you, as long as you're willing to hand over the money you have on you."

Halfway through his sentence, Mulin glanced at the items in Maya's hands before slowly continuing, "Of course, these supplies are rightfully yours; I won't steal them."

As soon as Mu Lin finished speaking, the two men behind him had already walked up to Lin Beichen.

The two men simultaneously held knives to Lin Beichen and Yu Feng's necks and began searching them.

However, after searching, both of them shook their heads at Mulin.

Aside from the knives on Lin Beichen and Yu Feng, they found nothing else on them.

Although Lin Beichen and Yu Feng carried military knives, they were not uncommon, and this did not arouse Mu Lin's suspicion.

"Aren't you smuggling wild animals?"

"Where did you get the funds to purchase it?"

Mu Lin strode up to Lin Beichen and pressed the dark muzzle of his gun against Lin Beichen's head.

"We're just going to a nearby village to gather some information; naturally, our people can't come along."...

Lin Beichen had a gun pointed at his head, but he had a smile on his face and glanced at Mu Lin to the side, without the slightest fear in his eyes.

Who's backing you?

Mulin frowned, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

If what Lin Beichen said is true, he is no longer considering whether he can get the money, but whether he should let Lin Beichen go.

"The eagle is my friend."

Lin Beichen shrugged.

Eagle was the first suitable candidate Lin Beichen could think of.

The Eagles' organization is quite powerful in the area, and it's not hard to tell from the fact that Mulin was able to return to the village that he is definitely not one of the Eagles.

Even if we assume he really is one of Eagle's men, Lin Beichen can still claim he's Viper's subordinate and is here on Viper's orders.

"eagle?"

Upon hearing this, Mulin was visibly stunned for a moment, and then his face turned deathly pale.

Seeing this, Lin Beichen's smile grew even brighter.

The other party is clearly not one of the Eagles' people, which means that they are now completely at their mercy in fabricating stories.

Without the concern that the other party was Eagle's subordinate, Lin Beichen could still use Eagle's name to suppress him.

"Yes, our boss is a friend of Eagle, and he's already gone back with Eagle. We're here to gather information. The money isn't with us; it's with our companions who came with us."

Lin Beichen shrugged at Mu Lin with an air of seriousness.

The other party was clearly no pushover either; the news that the venomous snake had been taken away by the eagle had probably already spread within their circle.

Unless he's one of the Eagles' men, even if he learns the truth later, it will be too late.

"I……"

Mulin pressed the gun hard against Lin Beichen's head, as if trying to muster up great courage, but in the end he let his hand fall limply, clearly he didn't dare to offend Eagle at all.

"I bet you're someone who handles firearms a lot, right?"

“We really need someone with your talent. I wonder if you’d be interested in working for us.”

Lin Beichen stretched and glanced casually at Mu Lin beside him.

"Get out! Get out of here right now!"

Mulin pointed to the path leading to the woods, not daring to make any other move for a moment.

Lin Beichen shrugged, not leaving immediately, but smiling as he looked at Mu Lin and said, "What about the money she has on her..."

Lin Beichen stopped halfway through his sentence, but his meaning was clear: he was asking Mu Lin whether or not to steal the money from Maya.

"You go!"

Mu Lin waved impatiently at Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen didn't intend to argue with the other party any further, and immediately started walking towards the woods in the distance.

"Maya, you'd better not spread this around, otherwise..."

Mulin stopped halfway through his threatening words. Upon hearing this, Maya did not respond to him, but quickly led Lin Beichen and the others away.

Are there any other organizations around here?

They hadn't gone far when Lin Beichen looked at Maya beside him and asked.

Maya shook her head and told Lin Beichen that there were no other organizations nearby.

Lin Beichen nodded.

However, if there were no other organizations nearby, Lin Beichen was somewhat puzzled by the calluses on Mulin's hands.

Logically speaking, the calluses on the other person's hands are definitely not those of an ordinary person.

Recalling the scene where the other party pointed a gun at his head, it was clear that this was not the first time the other party had done this, which meant that he must have been a specially trained person!

"Was the village chief's family originally hunters?"

Lin Beichen took a deep breath, looked into the distance, his eyes somewhat lost.

Myanmar's various organizations are intricately intertwined, and if one were to delve into them, they would be a real headache.

But with things having developed to this point, Lin Beichen had to be careful.

In any case, this matter has to come to a conclusion. If no conclusion is found, Lin Beichen probably won't even be able to recover from his injuries and will have to return to China in disgrace, let alone inquire about the Rock Organization.

"Boss, is it possible that they are the people smuggling goods into our border?"

Yu Feng pulled out the knife he had just taken back from Mu Lin.

"I don't think it's possible."

“When Viper and his men crossed the border, it must have been in the afternoon. Even if they contacted Eagle when we surrounded them, Eagle couldn’t have arrived so quickly given the speed at which we came.”

"In other words, the eagles must have been in the woods near where we are now at the time, so that they could have arrived when we were chasing the snake."

Lin Beichen rejected Yu Feng's idea without even thinking about it.

If the other party is not nearby, it can only mean that they have a means of transportation that can fly, and that there is a place nearby where they can land.

Because they came out of the woods, they didn't jump from a plane. (End of Chapter)
