While Ryuji was dealing with the relationship between Hades and 'reality', on the other side of the jungle, Perkin looked at a tree on a waterfall not far away.

The tree grew right in the middle of the waterfall, and from the outside it looked like a hybrid of a banyan and a peach tree, with withering fruit among the many fibrous roots.

Many of the fruits were the size of thumbs, and the green shells had some unfallen petals on them.

"Why, that's why, obviously hope is right in front of me, why can't I go up, Lloyd, you leave me alone, I'm going to climb up on my own, I'm going to find my hope."

In the roar of the waterfall, Perkin's voice became much louder.

But Lloyd grabbed Perkin stiffly, "Uncle, you can't go over, you also saw under the waterfall, it is a snake ball composed of countless giant snakes, as long as you fall down, it will be all over, and the waterfall is so fast, where can we climb up." ”

"But it's right now, my hope!"

Perkin yelled, he had prepared so many things for this expedition, and there were props for this situation, but his backpack was gone, even if there were props, it was useless, he could only watch that hope was in front of him, but he could not get the bloody tree fruit.

Under such pressure and stimulation, Perkin's face became more and more blue, and finally the moment the sun came out, he spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Falling into Lloyd's arms, Perkin pointed to the bloody tree on the waterfall not far away, "Remember this location, we have actually found it, right, you leave me alone, don't look for that backpack, remember the way you came, find the right investor, and come back in seven years, I can't do it, but you must take our family back to high society." ”

"Uncle."

"Don't speak, remember, our ancestors are the Counts of Cisse, not the so-called lords of the court, and I have left a secret base in the port of Tortuga and the port of Naya, and you go out and find someone to keep an eye on those two apartments, and it must be the one who took my backpack.

If you can't find it, forget it, remember that you must come back in seven years, find a way to get the fruit from the tree, and in order to keep it fresh, you can not bring other things, you must bring fresh animal skins, or what you take out is not elixir but poison. ”

Lloyd listened and nodded affirmatively.

At this moment, Perkin's complexion seemed to have become much better.

He struggled to sit up, pushed Lloyd away, and headed for the waterfall.

Unfortunately, he had only taken a few steps before the sun was already shining on the bloody tree, and as soon as the sun shone, the fruit, which had already withered a little, quickly turned into black ash.

For a moment, a large amount of black ash fell like snow, falling on the snake ball in the pool below the waterfall.

The entangled giant snakes, stimulated by these black ashes, actually dived into the water honestly, and after a while, Perkin and Lloyd saw that those giant snakes were swimming in all directions towards the way they came, and they had no intention of staying here for long.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lloyd was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect that there were so many giant snakes in this waterhole, thinking that he had stayed here last night, he felt a little dead.

"What a lot of snakes, uncle, you say...... Uncle. ”

Lloyd, who was talking, found Perkin standing motionless on the edge of the pool, and black tears had already flowed from his eyes.

"Uncle."

Lloyd screamed loudly, but there was no way to wake Perkin again.

Holding Perkin and crying for a while, Lloyd flattened Perkin's body.

At this time, the giant snake under the waterhole has completely disappeared, leaving only the black-ash waterhole under the waterfall.

Lloyd hesitated for a moment, took off some of the small ornaments from Perkin's body, and then picked up Perkin's body and wanted to throw it into the pool, after all, they were now in the primeval jungle, and Lloyd had no ability to take Perkin's body out.

Just then, a flying arrow flew in front of Lloyd and landed on the ground in front of his feet.

Then some dark-skinned wildlings rushed out of the vicinity, screaming at Lloyd as they rushed back.

When Lloyd saw it, he directly pulled out his weapon, which was a silver long sword, and when it was wielded, there would be some light and shadow effects.

"Don't attack, we have no ill will, you can't throw corpses into this pool."

At this moment a savage shouted, and he spoke in a rather pure Cisse language.

"Who are you?" Lloyd didn't drop his sword, but stared at the wild man.

"I'm a warrior from the nearby Serpent Raid tribe, you can call it Parker." The savage explained, "We are the enemies of those serpents. ”

Parker said as he showed Lloyd his tattoos.

It can be seen that these dark-skinned savages have found a white tattoo material, and tattooed a giant snake on their body that has been pierced to death by arrows or spears.

"Serpent Raid Tribe?"

"Yes, we are the settlers of this jungle, we live here, but every seven years, those giant snakes will come here and eat anything they can come along the way, we call this giant snake grazing, and our goal is to kill a giant snake every seven years, and over time, the giant snake will slowly disappear and this land will be ours."

"Kill one every seven years, why not kill more?"

"Because we can't beat it." Parker said rather dryly.

"Oh." Lloyd thought about the power of the giant snake for a moment, and was not surprised by Parker's words at all, it was not something to be embarrassed about not being able to defeat the giant snake, there was nothing bad to talk about.

However, Lloyd was still a little puzzled, "Then why didn't you let me throw the body down." ”

"Because the serpent has a strong memory, we once set up an ambush under the waterhole, only to be discovered by the serpent, and that time the serpents attacked all the nearby tribes like crazy, and several powerful troops like us were destroyed in this attack, and since then, we have known not to throw anything into the waterhole."

Hearing this reason, Lloyd couldn't help but sigh, "Then do you know where the giant snake came from?" ”

"You know, according to the oldest legends, they are the guardians of an empire, the weapons of the gods, guarding the demons that are imprinted in the depths of the jungle, and in order to escape from the sealed place, the demons publicize to the outside world, and the place where he was suppressed is called the Golden City......"
