I'm a spy in the film

Chapter 229 Fatal Curve

Little Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone Manor, on the top of a mountain covered with a thin layer of snow, four knights on horseback are looking into the distance.

One of them pointed at the cliff below and said to the young knight who was checking the map next to him:

"Mr. Bourne, the valley below is the dividing line. The large low peaks to the north belong to the reservation area. There are fewer peaks here, but they are steeper."

Closing his eyes and comparing the terrain he saw with the map in his mind, Bourne already had a general impression of the environment here. Now, even if he was dropped in an empty corner at the foot of a mountain, he would be able to find the direction quickly.

This is the benefit of the talent "spatial affinity".

After putting away the map, Bourne called out to a fat black man who was also riding a horse at the edge, "Frode, please lead the way. We should try to check two more hilltops before the sun sets. When it gets dark, we will have to rely on the rescuers from the state."

The sturdy man named Frode didn't say anything. He turned his horse around and was about to leave. At this moment, a flare appeared in the sky to the south.

"That direction——"

Frode narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the flare rose. Suddenly, his face changed and he shouted, "It's Ian, they're in trouble! I'll go find them!"

After saying that, he whistled and rushed down the mountain on his horse, leaving Bourne and the others behind.

When Bourne chased after him, Frode had completely disappeared and no one knew where he had run to.

"Damn it! This guy definitely did it on purpose!"

Jimmy shouted angrily.

It was bad enough that this guy bullied him on the ranch, but now he even offended Mr. Bourne, who was someone Rip solemnly instructed to treat politely.

Bourne did not answer. He asked, "Jimmy, are you familiar with this place?"

The young cowboy who was called Jimmy by Bourne and who had introduced the terrain to Bourne earlier said with a wry smile: "My father often brought me to the mountains to play when I was a child. My memory is very vague now, but -"

He straightened his chest and said seriously, "Don't worry, Mr. Bourne. Ever since Rip pulled me out of alcohol, I have found the direction of life. Although I haven't been here for several years, I can still tell the general direction. At most, we will be a little slower, and it will not be a problem to reach that valley before the sun sets."

Bourne nodded and said, "Let's go. I hope we can find some clues over there. Keith is going crazy."

"Yeah, who would have thought that more than a dozen people would disappear out of thin air? Those stupid Indians in the reservation didn't even know that such a dangerous criminal gang had run into their house, and they still dared to steal our cattle?"

Jimmy was indignant.

"Can't blame them."

Riding through the woods was a time-consuming business. Bourne answered, controlling his horse so as not to be swept by the branches:

"According to news from West Virginia, this group of kidnappers is a gang that is extremely brutal and leaves no one alive each time they strike. They are also familiar with the mountainous terrain and have strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, so it is difficult for ordinary people to guard against them.

The reservation has been peaceful for too long, and they are no longer the 'rocky' tribe they once were known for their fighting prowess."

"If it weren't for Case, we wouldn't have sent out the whole farm to search for him!" Jimmy muttered.

"If you ask me, if the person was lost in the reservation, then we have to look for him there.

Although they are all small Rocky Mountains, the altitude here is high and not suitable for hiding, unless you are a savage!"

Bourne was also helpless.

This morning, he was chatting with Rip and Beth about their future plans when suddenly Rip received a call from Keith, saying:

Last night, a convoy in the reservation was attacked and all sixteen people on board were missing. Except for three drivers, the rest were all women, including Keith's wife Monica.

They were attacked on their way back to the settlement after attending a tribal celebration.

When the vehicles were found later, all the people were gone, and only three cars with tires punctured by nails were stranded on the road.

The incident happened at one o'clock in the morning. The reservation had been searched all night without any results. In desperation, Keith had to ask his family for help, but no one answered his father John Sr.'s phone, so he could only call Rip and ask him to lead his cowboys to help look for the missing person.

Because the disappearance occurred near the Little Rocky Mountains, the other party could not go far with a dozen hostages, and someone had previously seen a man with strange looks and clothing roaming around in the forest on the mountain, so the scope of this search was the mountain area with a radius of ten kilometers centered on the crime scene.

A considerable number of them are located in Yellowstone Manor, which is why there is a search team of four people including Bourne.

Of course, Bourne and his team are just one of many search teams.

Originally, Rip wanted Bourne to follow him, but Kate insisted on following, so Rip arranged two cowboys to serve as guides for Bourne. After all, he knew Bourne's fighting ability.

Bourne's team of only three people was not moving slowly. Jimmy had been taught by his father since he was a child, Bourne had a systematic cheat, and even Kate, who was riding a horse for the first time, made the horse very tame because of her special animal affinity, and her speed was not slower than Bourne and Jimmy.

The three of them kept winding forward along the mountain path. After about half an hour, they finally saw the winding mountain road halfway up the mountain.

"After climbing over that steep slope, we will reach the valley where the flares were launched. Our horses can't go uphill, so we can only walk along the road for a while. There will be a small path leading there."

Jimmy pointed to the hillside across the road and turned to speak to Bourne behind him, not noticing at all that an arrow was shooting towards him.

At the critical moment, a thick leather book appeared beside Jimmy. It was Bourne who threw out the Holy Covenant.

"when"!

The arrow hit the spine of the book, making a sound of metal clashing. Although the holy contract fell to the ground, the sharp arrow was also bounced away.

"Get off your horse! Someone is ambushing us!"

At this time, Bourne shouted a reminder, and he and Jimmy slid off the horse from the side almost at the same time. However, a figure flashed past them and rushed towards the direction where the arrow came from.

"Kate, come back!"

Bourne shouted urgently, but it was too late.

Kate's back flashed left and right in the forest and disappeared in a moment.

"Chase!"

Without hesitation, Bourne got back on his horse and galloped in the direction Kate was pursuing.

This time, he was more vigilant and turned the danger warning to the maximum. The wind whistled past his ears, and Bourne felt his spirit extending into the woods.

Soon, he "saw" Kate and the person she was chasing, a guy so ugly that he could hardly be called a human.

He had uneven eyes, a crooked nose and a slanted mouth, and his forehead and chin were covered with growths of tumors, which made people want to vomit at the sight of them.

This guy was holding a bow and had a few arrows on his back. The arrow that launched the sneak attack just now was shot by this guy.

Humph, he is still trying to be clever. He is actually going around in circles. Now he is running diagonally in front of the direction of my pursuit. It looks like I will catch him soon.

This guy is extremely fast. He can climb mountains and cross rivers as if it were flat ground. Several times, he even had the opportunity to turn back and shoot an arrow.

But Kate is no pushover either. During the chase, she not only used trees to block the opponent's vision, but also took the time to pick up stones on the ground and threw them at the guy.

The aim was not very accurate, but the force was quite strong, and it hit the tree trunks next to the ugly monster several times, sending wood chips flying everywhere. The ugly monster was so scared that he dodged in a hurry, gave up his plan of returning the arrow, and ran for his life.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, the ugly monster's legs went weak and he fell to one knee on the ground. His whole body was carried forward involuntarily by inertia and he fell flat on his face.

"Meow!"

A petite figure leaped high from the woods and landed heavily on the ugly monster's back.

"puff!"

The ugly monster spat out a mouthful of blood and stopped struggling.
