Country E, Pacific Coast.

Colonel Pietro stood at the wharf of a military port in this small equatorial country, the wind blowing in his face, the waves crashing against the pier, and the vast Pacific Ocean still in the darkness and the stars twinkling.

He felt very strange that Shangfeng called at three o'clock in the morning, woke him up from his dream, came here to pick up an expedition, and escorted them to a border town in the southeastern rainforest.

When he yawned and saw three kayaks coming quickly, he couldn't help but be startled, the people in the kayaks were fully armed, their faces were smeared with thick ink paint, and the whites of their eyes were staring at him, he couldn't help but panic, what kind of expedition was this, it was simply a marine.

In a panic.

Colonel Landing was the first to jump onto the dock.

"Hello, I'm Colonel Randin."

"Hello, I'm Colonel Pietro," he asked, holding out his hand suspiciously.

"Are you all ready?" Colonel Landing asked, taking his hand.

"Ready."

"Tickle you, let's go."

On the pier, two military helicopters immediately roared.

Together with Colonel Pietro, twelve mermaids rushed in, and the helicopter took off, one flying diagonally, and the night lights quickly disappeared into the darkness. Two hours later, the helicopter slowly landed on the east side of a border town.

In the hazy light of dawn, the rainforest not far away was shrouded in mist, and two guides with machetes in their hands led two donkeys, who didn't seem to wake up, and kept shaking their heads and snorting.

As soon as the Marines jumped off the helicopter, they put all kinds of equipment on the donkey's back, tents, detectors, and food and medicine packed in boxes.

"We're going to have to get here, and if we go inside, the equipment will fail, and we'll have to rely on guides, and it's volcano-ridden, and the rainforest in the valley is dangerous, so be careful," said Colonel Petero.

"Thank you for your advice," said Colonel Landing, shaking his hand; "Goodbye!".

"Goodbye."

Colonel Pietro bowed his head and slipped into the helicopter, his mission was accomplished, and the rest was up to them, good luck to them, and the helicopter soon disappeared into the sky sprinkled with the red glow of dawn.

Everyone was nervous and excited, looking at the mysterious rainforest full of legends in front of them, and the inside was boundless.

"Go," the colonel commanded in a low voice.

Two guides pulled the donkey to the head, everyone followed, one into the rainforest, in the hazy light, a path that seemed to have not been walked for a long time, faintly extending inward, 13 people in a column, Sha Sha and Wang Jinfen in the center, the more you go inside, the denser the forest, the darker the light, everywhere are green and branchy trunks, year-round dense leaves, tangled branches, hanging parasitic rattans, and in the dark depression into a piece of dead tree trunks that have lost branches. They walked slowly until evening, and they did not hear a bird call, like a place of death, and as if there was no end.

At night, they carefully lit a bonfire by a small river almost covered with weeds, and curled up all night, the sky was hazy, and continued to follow the guide, at this time there was no way, and it was impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and all around were plantain plants and thick and many knotted trees, and the guide kept cutting the branches and banana leaves on both sides, and those multi-forked branches were like many hands pulling at their clothes, and suddenly, the guide suddenly stopped, and the donkey refused to go forward, and in the hazy light, he bent over, He pricked up his ears and listened to the dense bushes in front of him for a long time, then took a few steps back, and as soon as he retreated, the whole team stepped back nervously, and he crackled and chopped down the bushes next to him, and from there he led the team forward, and where he had just stopped, looking through the gap in the bushes, a giant python was swallowing an animal, only two thin legs were exposed to its mouth, and over there, overgrown with weeds and dead trees, and some scattered white bones. Looking through the bushes, it turned out to be a swamp overgrown with vines, and from it came the stench of decay.

It was easy to pass through the swamp and enter the dense rainforest, the noon sun passed through the canopy that covered the sky, becoming wisps of it, the woods also became mysterious and hazy, pottery shards and tiles began to appear on the ground, a jaguar head exposed to the ground, baring its teeth and grinning, and then passed, a tall ancient tree in the dark, hanging down a vine stem, wrapped around a damp huge stone carved head, the guide passed, with a machete to pull away, a human face was revealed in the rattan branches and leaves, a huge stone carved human face, bulging eyes, slightly open black hole mouth, Looking at everyone with a demeanor like a wizard entering a trance, the guide took a step back in fright, which had not been like this before, and then he also seemed to be in a trance, and saw an animal head in the statue's mouth, a python's head, opening its bloody mouth, and a crow perched on the statue's head, and a thin reddened poisonous arrow nailed to the trunk of a tree next to it, and the guide immediately let out a shout:

"Ahh

As he spoke, he threw down his machete and turned around and ran.

The other guide let out a terrible cry, threw away the machete and reins, and fled after him, and the two donkeys chased them frantically as if cursed.

Everyone was already nervous, all the way over, the hazy light, the python with legs in the mouth, the dead tree, the white bones, the foul-smelling swamp, the grinning jaguar, the mysterious and terrifying human face, now hearing the scream of terror, the heart was pounding, seeing the donkey also desperate to run for his life, the whole person really looked like he had been cursed and looked in a trance, in a daze, he was terrified to see a naked little man standing on the head of the statue, with a cloth on the lower body, and there were such villains standing on the trees all around, holding small bows and arrows, spears, Biting the small bamboo pipe that blows poisonous arrows on his mouth, and then he feels that his hands and feet are tied, through the stick, carrying and walking, swaying, dreamily seeing the blue sky between the treetops, and the broken walls and ruins entwined by branches, the pyramids that have collapsed, the crows circling, the tall stone monuments, seeing the villain's rustling hands tied with ropes, and falling off when they are tied, several times like that, the villain scratches his head, points with a spear, and lets her walk in front, and after a while, Wang Jinfen sees a bonfire and smells the smell of barbecue, Seeing himself thrown together with the nine tied men, next to a pile of their guns, a barefoot little man with a spear galloped towards a conical grass hut, and then followed by a man with many colorful feathers on his head and a string of animal bones hanging out, like a chief, the little man kept gesturing at him, pointing at the rustle, and kept saying, meaning that the hands could not be tied, and there was no poison.

The chief walked up to Sha Sha who was standing, his eyes were wrinkled like brown bark and stared at Sha Sha, and a hunchbacked witch who followed him, with a red and green feather in her hand, swung up and down at Sha Sha, circled around her, and then leaned over to Wang Jinfen, who was tied to the ground, sniffed from head to toe, walked up to the chief, and whispered to him with her mouth moving.

Sasha could hear very clearly, she knew the language.

The witch said:

"These two men have not given birth, they are virgins, washed and may be offered to our gods, or let them bear fruit for us, and those men with weapons are not the ones who shine in this star, and are not protected, and they covet what we protect, and bring the plague of the nocturnal walk, and should be sacrificed, and let the ravens take away their souls."

The chief was a little frightened by her words, and the feathers on his head trembled and said:

"Will they bring the plague?"

"Yes, the time and place of their entry coincided with the great plague they brought with them in ancient times, and it happened to be the time of our sacrifice."

"Are those two women clean?"

"Very clean and scented."

The chief looked at Ma Jianguo and the colonel lying on the ground, their hands and feet were tied like pigs, and then at Wang Jinfen and Shasha, and said to the naked little people who were around:

"For the sake of our people and for God's sake, hang those men on the sacrifice."

Nine men were immediately dragged away.

Not far away, in front of the camp, a gate-shaped hanger, like a huge football goal, nine men were hoisted, facing a five-meter-high stone statue, its empty eyes staring at the vast universe, in front of the statue there was a burning black sacrificial basin.

After a while the priest came.

He looked humbly at the chief.

The chief nodded, and the shaman turned to the little man behind him and said:

"Take off their garments and wash them," cried the priest; "Let their feet touch the ground and wake them up, or their souls will not find their way home, and God will be angry."

The little ones skillfully washed them and poured green liquid into their mouths with small bamboo tubes.

As soon as the fire was lit, flocks of crows flew in and stopped on the beams and the trees next to them.

The people on the shelf hung their heads weakly, and after pouring in the green liquid, a trace of consciousness swam in their minds, first they heard the distant crows crying unrealistically, and felt that their bodies were soft and uncomfortable, and they lifted them upward, unable to move like a nightmare, and then, this dreamlike consciousness wandered, reminded them of something, the stone statue, the jaguar, the scream of the guide, the escaped donkey, the jungle python, the swamp, the submarine, and then faintly heard someone screaming, and slowly opened their weak eyes and saw their toes, Strangely looking at his naked body, with red circles, stars, and arrows drawn on it, he wanted to touch it with his hands, but he couldn't move, and he dragged it upwards, and when he looked up, he saw colorful feathers dangling in front of his eyes—the feathered crown on the chief's head, the hunchbacked witches on both sides, the priests in black robes, the roaring sacrificial fire behind them, the statues with big bulging eyes, the images in front of them and the confused images in his mind were mixed together——, and finally they were strung together in a line, and we came to the rainforest, and when we looked at both sides, they were all naked and hanging, Consciousness finally skipped through that void in the brain, and we were caught.

Looking at both sides again, the little people who were jumping around in their minds before had turned into tall brown shirtless people, holding bows and arrows, spears, and bamboo barrels and poisonous arrows, and the fog had all dispersed, and it turned out that we were caught by the natives.

It's funny to think about it, these elites of the Marine Corps, who didn't hear a single gunshot, all became prisoners.

What also made them feel strange was that Sha Sha and Wang Jinfen among those people were not hanged, as if they had been cleaned up, and stood there.

The chieftain saw them wake up, struck the totem staff with the star and skull on the top, and gestured to the priest with some hesitation.

The priest in black robe and black hat took two steps forward, raised his hands above his head, looked at the hanging man, and said in a mysterious voice:

"Thou stray upon the Holy Land, coveted the Holy Relic, had a vile heart, and were unhappy with the gods, and hath summoned the Holy Crow to lead thy soul through the darkness and to thy land of light, where ye will enjoy eternal holiness."

As he spoke, the priest lowered his hands and folded them over his chest, bowing his head as if he did not want to see them die.

A group of indigenous warriors covered in oil paint lined up in front of them, bows, spears, and poisoned arrows facing the hanging men.

Sasha had been paying attention to the natives since she had tied her hands, listening to their language, smelling their scents, their body odor was quite heavy, mixed with the smell of earth, sun, bananas, sweat, fig leaf, not very good, to be exact, very unpleasant, but she didn't find the Hound Starman.

Since she was imprisoned on Disappointment Island, she smelled the Hound Star Man, and since then she has never smelled a trace of the Hound Star Man's breath, but she does not dare to let her guard down, the Hound Star Man has found the Earth in the vast universe, their resourcefulness and technology must not be taken lightly, and she is the only one on the whole Earth - the Andromeda Man, can she deal with it.

As soon as she heard the language of the natives, the information in her head told her that they were the people she was looking for, and they regarded the Andromedas as gods, guarding the things that the Andromedas left on the earth for thousands of years, generation after generation, waiting for a long time, but now these guardians were going to kill the marines and their parents, and she knew that she couldn't wait any longer.

She walked over to the chief.

The witch subconsciously took a step back, she had been secretly observing Sasha, this girl as pure as a baby, like a girl, had a look and temperament that she had never seen before, and was so different from those people.

Look at her and smile at herself.

Unconsciously, reverently, she bowed her head and stepped away, as if there was no place for her.

Shasha stood beside the chieftain and, in their language, whispered to him:

"I am your God."

The chief was already suspicious, Shasha's hands and feet could not be tied, the poison could not fall, the skin was as holy as a baby, those who were hanging were fearless, and their hearts were very open, unlike those who were evil-hearted before, so he did not give the order for a long time, for fear of making a mistake, and Shasha came over, and the witch actually retreated reverently, which was all different from before, and now Shasha said softly to him: "We are your gods", this voice like a heavenly sound, as if through countless years into his ears, to the bottom of his heart, awakened him childhood by the campfire, Looking up at the starry sky, his father whispered to him, 'Our god will come one day', and now, the phrase 'I am your god' entered his ears, which was both kind and untrue, and his father said to him, 'God comes in a fire-breathing bird', but she was tied up by herself, and compared to his father, he has too much contact with modern civilization, perhaps, I don't know how many generations, it is just a myth, and he hesitantly looks at the rustle in the myth of this legend and the civilization that can be seen and touched in modern times.

Rustle smiled at him.

He was suddenly shocked in the bottom of his heart, and his breath was short, because only a god with a beautiful heart could have such a smile, but it was only shock, and it did not completely dispel his doubts, and the expression on his wrinkled face, which was as wrinkled as the bark of a tree, looked at the rustle like a lost lamb.

Shasha saw that he still didn't believe him, so she whispered to him again:

"Latin Mia."

The words were light, but like a thunderbolt, they shattered the thick modern civilization that covered the legends, and all the images in his mind came up like a fountain, statues, ruins, symbols, collapsed pyramids, jaguars all came to life, vivid images of the past and images of the present overlapped, revealing a vast territory, cities, forests, rivers, mountains, women drawing water, men hunting, gods sitting around campfires, teaching their ancestors to discern the stars, knowing farming, hunting—how to live, the gods of the gods are Latimia, The gods will return, and now God is back and standing before Him.

Those with bows and spears, with their hands sore, will shoot the crows on the racks, and hang them around their necks, and drive them out of the jungle naked, and they will not dare to come to the rain forest again, and the crows will follow them, but the chief will not give the order, and turn his head to look.

The priest standing in front of him also turned his head suspiciously.

The crows couldn't figure out what was going on, so they craned their necks to look around.

Those who were hanging naked, as soon as their bows and arrows and spears were aimed at themselves, closed their eyes, waited left and right, and did not move, and opened one eye to the natives, looked at the chieftain, and what was the situation, and then opened another eye to look at the past.

Ma Jianguo didn't close his eyes, he knew that Sha Sha would save them, but he didn't know how to save them, at this juncture, he wanted to see clearly, what powerful means this alien girl would use to save them, all he saw was Sha Sha whispering to the chief, the witch retreated reverently, the chief didn't speak, on his bark-like face, his eyes widened for a while, he was confused for a while, like a puppet for a while, ecstatic for a while, I don't know what this good girl said, it made the chief look like a nervous disorder, and I have to ask later.

Wang Jinfen too, seeing that after the priest finished speaking, those natives picked up bows and arrows and spears and aimed them at the hanging people, and they were so frightened that they wanted to scream, but when they thought of Ma Jianguo's warning, don't scream, it will scare people to death, think about it, in case of screaming, some natives are scared to let go of their hands, and the arrow is shot out, then the game is over, and they hold the scream in their throats, but they are uncomfortable, so nervous that their hearts are pounding, and they feel that they are going to faint, and they see Shasha walking towards the chieftain and whispering to him, and the chief does not speak, and his face changes faster than that of a chameleon, Seeing the chief reach out and grab the totem staff with the skull, he thought about it, and heard the chief shout:

"La--din--m-a--"

Frightened, he immediately screamed.

These two shouts startled everyone, and a young native did not hold it, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the arrow shot out, but it missed, and shot off the priest's black hat, and the priest was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged his bald head and knelt down.

That's when it happened.

Wang Jinfen saw all the natives kneeling towards Shasha.

Only she and Shasha, and those who were hanging, were standing, if the ones who were hanging were also standing.

Latin Mia: That's a familiar one.

Wang Jinfen and Ma Jianguo instantly had two pictures in their minds, one was in Fairy County, opening the game box, and the other was on the submarine, opening the box, and there was a woman in a robe on the box, with her hands raised above her head, and Shasha said that this was their god.

The people who were hanging, except for Ma Jianguo and the colonel, were all dumbfounded, what was the situation, could it be that Sha Sha was their god, because the chief only knelt down to the god, and they all looked at the colonel and Ma Jianguo to find the answer.

Ma Jianguo and the colonel shook their heads with a wry smile, and sang this play in a rustle, even they were kept in the dark, and only then did they make a move, did they want to find out the Hound Star people from here, but now the most important thing is to put them down first, so that they are hung naked in front of two women, what does it look like, go home and say that they are laughing dead.

Of course Wang Jinfen understood what those people meant, he was angry and funny, those heroic soldiers were hanging like that, not like that, the crows were still and peeing on them, laughing and pushing the rustle, and crooking their mouths towards that.

Rustle, whispered to the chief.

The chief stood up reverently, and with a totem staff in his hand, said aloud:

"Let the hanging ones go, they are God's friends!"

With a swipe on the floor, the hanging people let go and lay on the ground in a mess.
