Chapter 250: Crocodile Altar

Both of them fell into silence, the two sides are not all the way, and they do not have the same interests, so there is no basis for cooperation at all.

That's the real reason why they never get along.

"Let's go and see first, we really can't get it back and then think of another way." Mia stood up, knowing the danger, determined to give it a go. If you really can't get it back, it's not too late to cooperate with Li Chaoyang and them.

Mia held the gun, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Li Chaoyang, the gun was in her hand, she had a battery, and she occupied the absolute initiative, and she was the one who made the final decision.

Although Li Chaoyang was 10,000 unwilling, he had to stand up.

"Wouldn't it be better for you to go alone? Take me with me, not afraid that I will drag you down? Li Chaoyang asked angrily.

"No, because as soon as I find out that you are holding me back, I will kill you as soon as possible, go!"

In order to prevent Mia, she deliberately distanced herself and stood behind Li Chaoyang, so that no matter how fast Li Chaoyang's speed was, it would be impossible to hurt her.

Under Mia's coercion, Li Chaoyang walked into the depths of the forest.

Just walked a short distance three roads appeared in front of the two of them, these three roads lead to the left and right and in front of them, the stampede marks of each road are obvious, at first glance, there are people walking for a long time, on the trees on both sides of the road hang strings of white bones and skulls, the wind blows and hits each other with a rattling sound. There are also many paintings carved on the stones on the trees, these paintings have rough lines, the coloring is mainly red and black, and the content of the patterns is also very large, including the sun, the mountains, and various animals, such as crocodiles, monkeys, and so on.

Being in it really feels like you've come to a primitive society.

This is the first time Li Chaoyang has come to this kind of place, as if he feels the primordial pulse, this is the territory of cannibals, who are heading towards the core of a civilization.

"Over there?" Li Chaoyang asked.

Mia hesitated, she didn't know which way to go.

"Mu Ping said that they live in a canyon, and the road on the left should be able to reach the river, and where there is a river, most of them are canyons, so I think they should go to the left."

Li Chaoyang glanced at the mural on the road on the left, which was carved with a large number of patterns made of twisted lines, and it was impossible to tell what kind of animal it was.

The surroundings are particularly quiet, the woods have become more and more dense, gradually obscuring the sky overhead, and there are lush woods on both sides.

If it's really good to live inside, why should cannibals live outside?

Those strange lines must have some meaning in there.

The further you walked in, the smoother the road became, and there was a strange fishy smell in the air, as if something had been crawling on the road, and there were clear scratches on some of the stones beside the road.

"There are crocodiles on this road, and there are a lot of them." Li Chaoyang clenched his spear tightly and looked around vigilantly.

They were heading to the river, which was where the crocodiles were the most, and the scratches on the stones were left by the crocodiles, and the road was not only the way of people, but also the path of crocodiles. Li Chaoyang always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at them in the grass around him.

"I know, it's not uncommon for there to be a lot of crocodiles near Elysium, people living in Southeast Asia have seen a lot, crocodile meat is the most common food in our village, sprinkled with pepper after roasting, it tastes better than beef, we have guns are still afraid of crocodiles, keep walking." Mia disagreed.

She might be scared of anything else, she didn't pay attention to crocodiles, crocodiles are fierce, but their brains are not good, and they can't climb trees, so they can't do anything to find a tree in the woods like this.

The two of them walked another distance, and the sound of running water came from in front of them, and they were getting closer and closer to the river.

Li Chaoyang was also more cautious and deliberately slowed down.

The sound of flowing water is getting louder and louder, and after passing through a forest, the deep water river reappears in front of Li Chaoyang, but the river has become much wider, the flow speed has slowed down a lot, and there are even ready-made tidal flats and small islands on the bank, and there are large reeds on both banks, such a place is really suitable for crocodiles to survive.

The water was a little muddy, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

"What's that?" Mia suddenly pointed to the upper right and shouted.

Li Chaoyang looked up and found that there was an exposed cliff more than ten meters in front, the cliff was no more than five meters high, with trees behind and an open river in front. At the bottom of the cliff there is a platform similar to that in the tribal camp, with several tree stumps around the platform and a statue in the center.

"Looks like we've come to the right place, they should be living in it." Mia became more and more excited, but Li Chaoyang was thankful that something was wrong, the road to go inside was obviously much smaller, and it was not a place to walk often, and why did cannibals live with crocodiles?

It's illogical.

When the two men approached, they smelled an indescribable stench, and saw several human corpses hanging from several tree stumps, all of them cannibals from their size and dress, their hands were tied together, their legs below the knees had been torn and eaten by something, and the huge bite marks were the work of crocodiles.

The corpses were crawling with maggots and mosquitoes, and a flock of birds that fed on carrion and maggots flew up when they saw someone coming, and stopped on the treetops around them, cooing and cooing.

The statue in the middle is a deity with a human crocodile head, which is an altar.

After the Great War two days earlier, the cannibals returned to camp and hung their corpses here to be sacrificed to crocodiles.

Behind the statue, that is, on the stone wall, there is also an irregular cave, which is pitch black, and it is impossible to see what is going on inside.

"I've heard similar rumors before, saying that the people on the grassland will let the wolves eat after they die, and they say that only in this way can the wolves understand human nature, protect them, and the souls of the dead can also be redeemed, I think the cannibals hang the dead here to feed the crocodiles." Mia said as she walked up to the altar, seemingly completely oblivious to the crocodile's presence.

Li Chaoyang also recognized this, and even dismembered human corpses in Tibetan areas and used them to feed eagles. The primitive cannibals sacrificed whatever they feared, and worshipped whatever they feared as gods, such as crocodiles, poisonous snakes, ants, and so on. In this way, it is hoped that the anger of these gods will be appeased, and even their protection.

Suddenly, Mia kicked something, and rolled to Li Chaoyang's feet, and both of them looked over, it was actually a yellow Spanish gold coin.

Mia looked down and found several more gold coins, which were scattered around the statue and stretched into the cave.

The two of them looked at each other, both a little stunned, and in an instant they realized a problem almost at the same time.

There is treasure hidden in the cave.

"Is this the Pirate King's treasure? It's entirely possible to use crocodiles to protect the treasure. Mia was even more excited, took two steps forward and stopped, and pointed her gun at Li Chaoyang.

"You go in first!"

Since suffering a loss in the cave in the morning, Mia has become very alert, and she has been on guard against Li Chaoyang all the time.

Let Li Chaoyang go to the front, firstly, to prevent Li Chaoyang from escaping, or to pose a threat to her, and secondly, to let Li Chaoyang go to the thunder, if there is danger, she can run away as soon as possible.

To put it simply, Li Chaoyang is cannon fodder.
