The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)

Chapter 273 Hanging by a Thread

The indigenous people were alarmed by the gunshot and stood up in panic and vigilance, wielding their

wooden clubs.

Nicole and Nathaniel exchanged a glance. Nathaniel looked serious, and his eyes were alert. He

brought his index finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture.

Then, they heard countless hurried footsteps. The indigenous people ran and stepped on the branches

of trees, their mouths shouting an incomprehensible language. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

It sounded like a serious warning being issued.

The angry insults from the pirates were accompanied by the sound of their guns. The atmosphere was

tense for a while.

The pirates were naturally not afraid of the indigenous people since they had guns.

However, the natives outnumbered the pirates, and they had a limited number of bullets, so they did

not have a huge advantage.

What made them even more furious was that they had followed their "prey" to this place but found

nothing except for the primitive tribe.

They had been fooled.

"There are actually primitive people in this place?

Damn it! It's just a waste of bullets to kill them!” "That explorer should be nearby. I wonder if he's a big

fish."

"We'll know once we catch him. If he’s not valuable, kill him.”

Only three pirates came. Nicole’s hair stood on end when their conversation reached her ears.

Her heart jumped to her throat. She was so nervous that her heart could leap out at any moment.

The three pirates started to shoot recklessly. Someone got injured in the process because the

indigenous people got frightened and began to flee in disarray.

The weapons made of tree branches that the indigenous people held were no match for the pirates'

guns.

The pirates searched the tribe, kicking over the tents and firewood. They even harshly kicked aside

some of the skinny indigenous people.

At once, the miserable cries of the indigenous people, and the boisterous laughter of the pirates

mashed into a cacophony of deafening noise.

The noise got closer and closer until it was almost right in front of the tree where Nicole and Nathaniel

were hiding.

Nicole held her breath and froze in place, not daring to make a single movement.

It was as if there were eyes above her head, looking at her. The feeling of numbness in her scalp

seemed to b e inching her towards death. It was such unbearable torture that made a chill run down

her spine.

'What should I do now...?'

"Ah!!!"

At this critical juncture, an alarming war cry came from the indigenous people. They began to fightback

against the pirates who attacked them.

The next second, the pirates cursed in anger and dodged the indigenous people's ambush.

Nicole and Nathaniel also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't kill them! There are too many of them coming. Killing them will only anger them more! Let's

retreat first!"

One of the pirates yelled.

The situation reversed rapidly. The united strength of the indigenous people was beyond their

imaginations. The ones that had fled in all directions earlier took up arms and prepared to fight. They

waved the clubs and spikes in their hands in a hostile manner at the pirates.

The pirates were reluctant to leave, but they had no other choice. Otherwise, they would not be able to

get away if they ran out of bullets and got captured.

They ran away quickly, wounding several indigenous people along the way, while the rest of the

indigenous people chased after them in a flurry...

Nicole and Nathaniel looked at each other and sighed i n relief, their faces still miserably pale. They

smiled in contentment for having just escaped from the clutches of death.

Nathaniel did not let down his guard and carefully scouted for the presence of any indigenous people.

"We'll take a different path, so we won't encounter any of them."

Of course, Nicole believed in Nathaniel’s expertise and immediately nodded in agreement.

The two of them were just about to leave when they suddenly heard a roaring sound in the air.

It sounded a bit like a helicopter, but not just one.

Tigger suddenly poked out of Nicole's pocket.

"Someone hacked my tracker and started to use the satellite to locate my position. Mama, it could be

Molly Stewart or Great God Maverick!”
