The fur trade in the Americas flourished in the 19th century, bringing immense wealth and far-reaching influence, and even supporting, to some extent, the rise and expansion of the America during this period.

Now that he had the opportunity to come to this era, Chen Mo was eager to experience firsthand this historically famous event.

In addition, the Indian tribes in the Missouri Forest, which have maintained the most primitive customs and features, are extremely rare to see in later generations. Chen Mo also wanted to take this opportunity to experience the Native American culture and see what the original inhabitants of the Americas continent were like.

Therefore, for Chen Mo, this trip into the forest to trade furs was more like taking his students into the mountains to sketch, enjoying the scenery and experiencing life while teaching them to improve their abilities, and incidentally earning some money to supplement his teaching and research funds.

The rise of the United States in the early 19th century and the primitive and backward Indian tribes in the wild forests gave Chen Mo different feelings. Rather than waiting for a hundred years, he would rather throw himself into the torrent of history and become a participant and witness of history. This is something that many modern people yearn for but cannot do. Only Chen Mo, who has the ability to travel through time, has this opportunity.

Moreover, even for Chen Mo, such opportunities are rare.

After so many time travels, Chen Mo has gained a certain understanding of his abilities. The spaces he can travel through are not without limitations. All the spaces he has encountered in the past have a common feature: they are all science fiction movie worlds.

Most science fiction movies are set in the modern or Afterlife. Science fiction movies that involve ancient and modern times, such as "Underworld", "Captain America" and "Wolverine", are relatively few. It is thanks to Chen Mo's ability to travel back in time that he is always able to experience the charm of history and experience things that ordinary people can never experience in their entire lives.

Therefore, Chen Mo was very calm and took the two children for a leisurely stroll in the forest. When they encountered armed personnel, he acted as an instructor to teach the two children how to fight. When they found Indian tribes, he transformed into a fur trader and took the two children to buy some furs. If they didn't find any, it didn't matter. He treated it as a sightseeing trip and a hiking trip. He also expanded the map like a game or a jigsaw puzzle, filling in the places that had not been explored.

Not only Chen Mo enjoy himself, but Vicot and James, who had awakened their wild instincts, also thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Not only could they stay in their beloved forest, but they could also fight frequently and feel their strength constantly improving. The two wished that this could continue for the rest of their lives.

Having explored the previously overlooked area, completing another piece of the incomplete forest map, Chen Mo, with the same enthusiasm he had for unlocking a map in a game, decided to change direction and head towards the next still-unmarked section of the map.

However, just as he was about to set off, a very faint sound drifted into Chen Mo's ears on the wind.

Chen Mo stopped in his tracks and listened intently. The sound was actually beyond Chen Mo perception range, but the forest was very quiet with very little noise, so Chen Mo was able to hear the extremely faint sound through the cover of other sounds.

It was the sound of footsteps!

Although the sound was very faint, Chen Mo could still tell that the footsteps seemed very chaotic, and there seemed to be quite a few people.

Now that traces of humans have been discovered, Chen Mo naturally wants to go and take a look.

Chen Mo immediately led Victor and James toward the direction from which the sound came.

As they closed the distance, Chen Mo quickly figured out the situation. Chen Mo's feeling was right; there were more than thirty people in the group. Judging from the footsteps and the occasional voices, they were undoubtedly armed personnel from the American Fur Company.

However, this was the first time Chen Mo had encountered such a large group.

In the past, the armed acquisition teams we encountered were usually around ten people, so this "large force" was clearly suspicious!

Chen Mo, along with Victor and James, approached the team to within a hundred meters, observing their situation from the side and front.

The men in this group were all carrying Musket, but they weren't carrying the huge backpacks that were meant for carrying trade goods. Judging from their aggressive and murderous aura, they were clearly heading towards a target, and it was definitely not just about buying furs.

It's unclear whether their target was the two "beasts" that caused them so many casualties, or someone else entirely.

However, judging from the fact that they mobilized three armed acquisition teams, making a big fuss, their target is definitely not simple.

Chen Mo restrained Victor and James, who were becoming restless after seeing so many combat targets. After the group passed, he quietly followed behind with the two of them.

Since the prey was already in front of him and couldn't escape anyway, Chen Mo wasn't in a hurry to have the two of them deal with them. He was more interested in what the team's goal and ultimate objective were.

The three of them followed the group at a distance, heading deeper into the forest.

This follow-up lasted for two days.

As the group moved forward, Chen Mo gradually noticed some clues. The direction the group was heading was clearly that of an Indian tribes.

Moreover, this tribe left a very deep impression on Chen Mo; it was the Lakota tribe, which had once hunted a giant bear and warmly hosted Chen Mo and his two companions.

As Chen Mo had predicted, the armed team of more than 30 people trekked through the forest and finally arrived at the Lakota tribe.

The group of more than 30 people began loading their weapons while they were still some distance from the tribe. After preparing for battle, they stormed into the Lakota tribe.

However, the elite and astute warriors of the Lakota tribe had already detected their approach and reacted quickly.

More than thirty fully armed white men suddenly arrived at their tribe, clearly with ill intentions. So the tribe's warriors quickly took up their weapons and met them. As soon as the armed group entered the Lakota tribe, they blocked them on the outskirts and confronted them with bows and spears.

More than fifty Native American warriors arrived one after another, armed with weapons, their faces fierce as they stared at the approaching enemy.

Although their weapons were inferior to those of their opponents, they showed no fear or hesitation in fighting them, their bows and spears firmly aimed at the enemy.

However, these fierce Native American warriors did not attract the attention of the other side. The leader, a middle-aged white man with a full beard, walked out of the group as if nothing had happened, and looked at the Native American warriors opposite him with disdain.
