Duck crossed his hands behind his head and watched boredly as the dense forest on both sides of the river slowly receded, and the sound of Riley and Isabella laughing and playing could be heard in the cabin next door. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to avoid revealing their whereabouts, the six were divided into two groups, with Dark, Riley, and Isabella as the first group, and George, Royce, and Isis as the second group. After the two groups were separated at Iron Tooth, the first group took the Socrates to dive from the bottom of the sea to Snell Harbor, and changed to an ocean ship bound for the Atlas Kingdom in Yamamat Harbor, and after an eight-day journey, they arrived in Dallas City, on the southern border of Atlas, and after a day of rest, they took a river boat to the town of Inesque, outside Dallas, where they met George's second group.

The climate here was humid and muggy, and the clothes on my body had never dried, and I wanted to jump into the river to soak in the water, but looking at the spiny crocodiles disguised as floating dead wood around the boat, I had to dismiss this unrealistic idea.

The ubiquitous mosquitoes are even more annoying, the mosquitoes here are the size of a palm, even the locals, when they go out, they must apply mosquito repellent herbal juice on their bodies, otherwise, they will be fat in a circle, and they will be sucked into a dried corpse, if there are corpse-loving beetles nearby, then even the dried corpses can not be left.

This inland waterway is not alone, with boats of all sizes coming and going, and on both sides of the river there are vendors selling all kinds of fruits, herbs, and clothing, all barefoot, rolled up their trousers, with huge flat-bottomed baskets on their heads, showing their snow-white teeth, and greeting the passengers on board.

Duck bought a few local specialties called dragon coconut fruit with long hair on the skin, peeled and peeled, the flesh inside was snow-white, but the taste was average, and it felt like an old cotton sleeve that had been left in the mouth for two years. While he was lamenting that he was being slaughtered, the owner of the ship came in and saw it, almost laughing and cramping, and with a knife he split the flesh, peeled out the core, cut out the small hole with the tip of the knife, and handed it to Dark. The sweet and refreshing juice cooled Duck's hot skin a lot, and Isabella and Riley were called, and the three of them enjoyed it beautifully.

As the boats sail upstream, the stone railings on both sides of the river gradually disappear, the river becomes narrower and winder, and the boats gradually become fewer, and from time to time huge birds with colorful tail feathers are flown from the dense woods on both sides, and the occasional mournful cry of a strange ape makes the heart flutter. The captain entered the cabin twice in a row to remind the passengers that the road ahead was uneven, no matter what they encountered, stay calm, and everything will be up to him.

The ship stopped twice for inspection, and each time five or six soldiers came up. They were all dressed in similar gear, holding rattan shields in their hands, with blunt wooden mallets around their waists, colorful feathers on their heads, or tiger and eagle headdresses, painted on their faces, and carrying a spear diagonally. These people were more amiable, and when they came on the boat, they neither looked through their luggage nor extorted money, but simply made a round of inspections, said hello to the ship's owner, and went down. According to the owner of the boat, this is the elite guardian of the nearby tribes, and the river flows through twelve or three tribes, large and small, and each part of the land has to be inspected.

One of the leading soldiers noticed the black reverse cross hanging on Duck's chest, exchanged words with the other soldiers, and walked straight towards Duck. He spoke in fluent Doland: "Welcome to Inesque, guest from afar." The ornament on your chest seems to have a special meaning, and I wonder if it will cause us trouble with each other?"

This reverse cross was prepared by George for the people before the departure, and in the Atlas country, the Cult of the Illuminati is almost universally untiful, and even inferior to the Persian religion of the Alabus. So George threw out his fabricated Cult of the Dark God, and took the trouble to give each of them such a small trinket.

As for George's newly pinched doctrine of the Cult of the Dark God, Duck already remembered that it was easy to deal with the interrogation, and he smiled and said, "It is the honor of my life to meet the powerful saber-toothed tiger warriors. This trinket is a symbol of the cult of the dark gods. The dark god is only a symbol, an idea of keeping the right path, there are no special taboos, and no calamity will be sent to anyone. Even, if it makes you uncomfortable, it doesn't hurt for me to take it off. ”

A soldier next to him couldn't help but laugh and whispered to his companion, "This is probably the most sloppy god I've ever heard, and it doesn't care if there are believers or not." ”

The leading soldier glared at him sternly: "Bacurata, shut up!

The soldier obediently stopped, but couldn't help but mutter: "Since it won't be a disaster, what are you afraid of it for?"

The gaze of the leading soldier became more and more fierce: "Bakurata, I see that you have eaten too much for breakfast! You are not allowed to eat at noon today!"

"Ahh......h

The leading soldier apologized to Duck with an apologetic face: "This guy is famously big-mouthed, you must not care. ”

Duck smiled magnanimously: "Our god has given the eleven commandments, and one of them says, 'Show respect for someone else's territory, or don't go there.'" ”

The leading soldier was in awe: "Your God is upright and magnanimous, may you always be blessed by Him." I'm Yupanki of the Tosro tribe, and I greet you again, I think we can be very good friends—"

Before Yupanki could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a thud from the roof of the ship, as if something had smashed in and landed in the next cabin, followed by the screams of Riley and Isabella.

Dark, Yupanki, and his men changed their faces and rushed over.

As soon as he opened the hatch, he saw Riley and Isabella hugging each other and shivering, and Bacurata, who had just come in to check, was foaming at the mouth, rolling his eyes, and fainting to the ground. On the small table, a sturdy giant monkey is squatting on it, clutching pastries and melons and munching on them as if no one was around.

Yupanki let go of the spear behind his back, gently grasped the obsidian dagger at his waist in his hand, and motioned to the two girls to move behind him against the bulkhead. Darker also pulled out the Morning Star of the Prison Eye.

The giant monkey still ignored the existence of everyone, and continued to eat wildly, as if he didn't even chew, and swallowed the whole belt core.

Seeing Riley and Isabella safely move behind him, Yupanki glanced at several of his men, who quietly exited the cabin and set up an ambush on the roof and deck.

Three swamp parrot calls came overhead, which was a readiness code from Yupanki's men, Yupanji straightened his waist and said loudly: "What's it, come here!"

The giant monkey ignored him and continued to eat Hesse.

Yupanki issued a sharp warning: "Come here!"

The giant monkey turned around in displeasure, bared its teeth and roared, and continued to eat wildly.

Duck said, "Looks like this guy is hungry, let it eat." ”

Yu Panji's nose was crooked, how could I be a strong man who was chosen by the tribe to participate in the sacrifice of the sun god, and I was actually ignored by a monkey?

The giant monkey caught a glimpse of an obsidian dagger out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils contracted instantly!

With a long squeak, the giant monkey's body slashed through an afterimage and slammed into Yupanki's throat.

You Panji didn't look good, raised his hand to block, and just lifted half of it, only to feel a numb wrist, and the tendon of his right forearm had been cut off by a giant monkey's claw!

At the critical moment, Duck hit the giant monkey with a hammer in the back, and the giant monkey seemed to have eyes in the back, and a flip turned down, stepping on Duck's prison eye Morning Star, jumping lightly, and going straight to the big hole in the cabin roof, trying to escape from there.

Two loud shouts rang out at the same time, and the two saber-toothed tiger warriors who were lying in ambush on the roof of the cabin shook off the tough rope web woven by the giant spider silk of the swamp at the same time.

The giant monkey raised its paws, snorted, cut a big hole in the rope net, turned over in the air, and landed steadily on the riverbank.

Three strands of swamp giant spider silk are twisted into a thread that can drag a cart drawn by two horses. Such a tough rope net was actually cut by a claw, which really surprised Yu Panji, regardless of the severe pain in his right wrist, and shouted: "Throw!"

Two spears on the roof of the cabin, two spears in the bow and stern of the ship, shot out at the same time, and the sound of wind and thunder pierced the earth on the shore - the giant monkey had fled into the dense forest at the same time as the spear was shot, and disappeared.

Duck was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he say, "You monkeys here are so fierce!"

Yu Panji was also dumbfounded: "It's the first time I've seen this kind of monkey!"
