Chapter 41 Conditions for Saving Lives

Of course, the tribal residents were observing Xu Zixuan, and Xu Zixuan was also observing these tribal residents. Objectively, the people in this tribe are very strong, probably because they don't have to worry about food by relying on the mountains, most of the men are above 1.7 meters tall, and most of the women are between 1.5 and 1.7 meters, and even some of the sturdy men are about the same height as Xu Zixuan. Most of the men have a black animal skin around their waists, and only a very few people are surrounded by modern items such as cloth, and these things that are called "shorts" are basically so dirty that they can't see their true colors, and it is estimated that these "shorts" have never been washed since they were put on their bodies; And most of the women are also on the upper body, extremely sagging breasts. The room swayed in front of the belly. And those children, all bare-bottomed running around the land, although the spirit is good, but the stunted body looks very thin, the head is very large, and the belly is a little big, it is estimated that it is caused by often eating some unnutritious food. And along the way, both men and women are barefoot, most of them wear a variety of necklaces and jewelry on their heads and necks, and their hair is tied into thin braids.

Xu Zixuan was a little surprised that these tribesmen did not seem to have the characteristics of those refugees in backward areas at all, after seeing Xu Zixuan, an outsider, most of the indigenous people just glanced in the direction of Xu Zixuan, and then they went their own way, and looking at their temperament, almost all the tribesmen held their heads high, looking quite elegant, even a little arrogant, if it weren't for their black skin and tattered clothes, Xu Zixuan almost thought that he had entered the territory of African nobles.

Following Lincoln to the largest shack, Xu Zixuan politely knocked on the door. Lincoln unceremoniously stepped forward and pushed open the door, turning sideways to let Xu Zixuan walk in. Facing Xu Zixuan's surprised gaze, Lincoln explained with a smile: "There is no habit of knocking on the door here, if there is something to do, you can just push the door in." ”

In the shack, a few people who looked dressed differently than the natives outside were talking. When Xu Zixuan walked into the shack, the people inside stopped talking and looked at Xu Zixuan and Lincoln behind him. Sitting in the middle is, of course, the "head of the sky" who had already dealt with him last night, oh no, it should be the priest of the tribe. And beside him sat a few strong and muscular natives, and if there were words to describe it, the word "plagiarism" would be the most appropriate. Different from other tribesmen outside, most of these people are about 1.85 meters tall, with knotted muscles and green tendons, like a vigorous leopard, exuding a killing aura of primitive wild surnames. The natives, including the priests, looked at Xu Zixuan who was standing in front of him with cold eyes, and most of their eyes were full of hostility, especially the primitive killing machine, which made him very uncomfortable.

Xu Zixuan knew that now was the best moment to improve the hostile relations between the two sides, he covered his right hand in front of his chest, bowed deeply to the priest, and then the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing the most friendly smile, and said with a pleasant face: "Respected priests and warriors, I apologize to you most sincerely for what happened last night. Xu Zixuan spoke English, of course the natives couldn't understand it, and Lincoln hurriedly translated it on the side.

"I know that I regret that I have done great harm to your tribe because of my recklessness. Here, I am willing to do all I can to help you and atone for what I did last night. After speaking, Xu Zixuan straightened up and looked at the priest with a smile.

Before the priest could speak, the tallest and strongest native beside the priest stood up, "You wounded a dozen of the strongest warriors in our tribe last night."

After listening to Lincoln's translation, Xu Zixuan bowed to him again, "I'm sorry, I really didn't have a heart!" ”

"I'm going to fight you to the death" Seeing Xu Zixuan's attitude, he felt that his fist had hit a ball of cotton, and he couldn't use his strength. So he shouted, raised something similar to a mountain knife from his side, and pointed at the tip of Xu Zixuan's nose. At this moment, the priest who had been sitting on the haystack spoke.

"Aguirre, put your knife away." The priest said to the strong man first, and then turned his gaze at Xu Zixuan, "Stranger, why did you appear at the scene of our soul transfer ceremony last night?" Why harm the people of our tribe? ”

"At that time, my companion was seriously ill and needed timely medical attention. I carried her down the hill in the dark, hoping to reach Windhoek as soon as possible. I swear, I didn't mean to break into your ceremony. And at that time, I repeatedly explained that because of the language barrier, it caused the misunderstanding last night! Xu Zixuan told the events of last night as calmly as possible.

"Misunderstanding?" Hearing this, the priest became excited, "You injured more than a dozen warriors in our tribe like a demon last night, if it weren't for the god of the mountains to bless us, I'm afraid we would all die there!" ”

"Eh" Xu Zixuan really didn't know what to say, so he could only keep bowing his head and apologizing. Seeing that Xu Zixuan's attitude was quite sincere, the priest's mood slowly calmed down.

"Okay, although it was a misunderstanding, your actions did cause us great harm."

"Yes, that's why I'm here, willing to take responsibility for my mistakes!" Xu Zixuan immediately answered.

"And what are you going to do?" The priest asked curiously.

"Priest, I have a reluctant request. The girl I was with had contracted a mysterious virus and was now dying. And I know that your tribe has successfully cured similar cases, and if I can, I very much hope that the priest will come to his aid and save this poor girl."

When the priest listened to Lincoln's translation, the priest's face turned red.

"The matter of you injuring more than a dozen of our clansmen has not been resolved, and now you want me to use our tribe's divine water to treat you? Don't even dream about it," said the priest angrily.

But after listening to Lincoln's translation, Aguirre put his mouth into the priest's ear and whispered a few words.

"You mean let him go?" The priest looked at Aguirre in surprise and said, "Just him? ”

"Yes, Lord Priestess, judging by the strength he showed last night, I think he has the ability. And even if he fails, it can greatly consume the strength of that monster, and we secretly follow him to find the opportunity to give that monster a fatal blow."

"Hmm" the priest kept nodding, "You can consider it"

The priest and Aguirre spoke in the native language, while Lincoln worked as a simultaneous translator.

"I guess they want you to kill that monster." In the end, Lincoln himself summed it up.

"Monsters?" Xu Zixuan looked at the priest who was communicating with a question mark, "Is there really a monster in this world?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't seen it," Lincoln said with a cautious glance at the priest, "but from their description, I think it's a big python." About half a year ago, this python ran to the surrounding mountains from nowhere, not only eating all the animals on the surrounding mountains, but also attacking the natives who went out to hunt and fell alone. In less than 3 months, 5 indigenous people were eaten by it. The tribe once organized a team to go up the mountain to destroy it, but this python is very smart, and when it sees a lot of people, it hides and never shows its face. Therefore, the tribe went up the mountain many times but returned in vain. ”

"I see." After Xu Zixuan heard this, he showed a resolute look.

"Stranger, if you really want to atone for your sins, I'll give you a chance. On the mountains surrounding our tribe, a monster has appeared."

"I do!" Before the priest could start, Xu Zixuan expressed his attitude categorically, "I am willing to help the tribe get rid of this monster, even if my ability is limited, but I will exhaust its strength as much as possible, so that the warriors of the tribe can easily kill the monster." ”

"Oh yes, stranger, you are very satisfying to me!" When the priest heard this, he laughed, "Then go back and prepare, and set out early tomorrow morning!" (To be continued.) )
