XXXVIII. The Maasai tribes

It was as if the bards were humming praises to the gods they worshipped, or as if the tribal priests were begging God to forgive them for their transgressions. The vast and distant sound came from far and near, and the ethereal tone was not at all like the sound that a human could make. The ancient chanting seems to take the soul of man to a wilderness where there is only dead silence.

Lin Yi could only run wildly, but they were too close to those crocodiles, even if they were frantic strafing to try to stop these ferocious man-eating beasts, there were also many crocodiles that had already swam close at hand. Lin Yi was in the worst situation, he was originally at the forefront, but now he is at the back when he escapes.

Looking at the group of crocodiles that were getting closer and closer, Lin Yi ruthlessly threw down the last grenade in his hand. But because I was afraid of affecting others, I could only throw a place farther away from the price. Although the huge shock wave overturned a few crocodiles, it could no longer change Lin Yi's situation. Fortunately, his teammates were still powerful enough, and they all fired salvos at the crocodiles, and the largest crocodile approached Lin Yi several times and was beaten back by everyone's fierce fire.

Li Qiwen had already run to Lin Yi with a knife, as long as those crocodiles still wanted to chase after them, then she didn't mind taking potential genetic drugs to kill these guys.

Perhaps fearing everyone's firepower, the crocodiles did not continue their pursuit. But as long as Lin Yi and the others wanted to leave, the crocodile would follow again, and for a while, the two parties formed a state of confrontation. But this state of affairs could not last long, the crocodiles did not know how many, and their own ammunition was running out.

"Xiaowen, you take some people to withdraw first, and I will take medicine to resist them." Lin Yi had no other way but to run away first, crocodiles are at most the kings of the water, and they may not be able to be arrogant on land for long.

"The situation behind us is not very good, and we had better not separate." Li Qiwen had already heard the chanting more and more clearly, and she didn't know whether the people behind her were friends or foes.

Lin Yi looked behind him, and there were indeed many people approaching not far away, but walking so slowly, it didn't look like he was here to help them.

"In this way, the men are in the first row, the women are in the second row, and then wait for the opportunity to withdraw first!"

Everyone knows that they can't always be stalemate like this, and since Lin Yi said the plan, he naturally arranged it consciously. The crocodiles saw that they were moving again, and they were ready to rush up several times, but looking at the sharp weapons in their hands, they hesitated again.

"Alright, the woman starts to withdraw!" Lin Yi snorted lightly, and the people behind him consciously began to retreat, faster and faster.

The crocodiles suddenly became agitated, as if they did not want to see their prey in their hands just walk a little way. The group of water overlords collectively opened their mouths, as if they were making a final discussion. One by one, the crocodiles slowly surrounded the largest one, and the dense group of crocodiles shuddered to watch.

Lin Yi saw that they were about to move, and then saw that Li Qiwen and the others had retreated to a distance of a hundred meters. Waved decisively: "Let's go!" ”

Everyone's nerves were highly concentrated, and at this moment, as soon as Lin Yi waved his hand, he collectively began to run back in an orderly manner. The crowd broke the deadlock completely, and the crocodiles rushed into the crowd like crazy.

"Ahh A tragic cry suddenly reached everyone's ears, and Lin Yi looked back and broke out in a cold sweat. Garl was actually bitten by a crocodile in the foot, and was about to drag Garl back at the moment.

Lin Yi didn't think much about it, ran over and pulled Gar with one hand, and shot at the crocodile with a gun in the other. But two fists are no match for four hands, and there is more than one crocodile. The largest crocodile was quite close to Lin Yi at the moment, and it had already opened its huge mouth full of steel teeth and bit Lin Yi.

After all, foodies only have the life of being eaten, and at that moment, Lin Yi only thought of this sentence. The seven- or eight-meter-long giant crocodile swung its tail and came over, it was so shocking that Lin Yi even forgot to continue shooting.

"Whew~" is like a warm breeze blowing, everything in the world is enjoying this warm feeling, even the ferocious giant crocodile has forgotten the bloodthirsty instinct.

Lin Yi quickly woke up from that inexplicable feeling, and wondered why he didn't feel any pain at all. When I opened my eyes, the scene in front of me was simply incredible.

The originally ferocious crocodile was lying there obediently like the most obedient schoolboy at the moment. Even the originally vicious eyes became as quiet as a pool of clear water, and there was no blood.

Lin Yi didn't know what was going on, and even Gar, who was still yelling beside him just now, stopped shouting. The crocodile that had bitten him before and wouldn't let go now let go, lying quietly to the side. At this time, Lin Yi couldn't care so much, so he had to drag Gar to his own side.

The others also seemed to be stunned by this strange scene, and just stared at the group of crocodiles that were supposed to kill them. It wasn't until Lin Yi dragged Gar over that Wu Hao was the first to react, and beckoned the others to come over and help carry Gar down. Ike only ran over to bandage Gar to stop the bleeding, but his expression was a little sluggish.

"He needs to hurry to the tribe to get effective treatment!" Lin Yi and the others suddenly heard an old and deep voice.

Everyone noticed that behind them this time, a group of people in coarse linen clothes had come to them, and standing at the front was a thin old man, whose face was full of vertical and horizontal ravines representing his experience.

"This old man, may I ask you ......" Before Lin Yi could finish speaking, the old man waved his hand to interrupt Lin Yi's words, and called two other young men to run in front of Gar and try to carry him away.

When Tony and Jimmy were about to stop it, Lin Yi motioned for them not to move. Although I don't know the origin of the old man, I can see that their group of people are here to save them. Because at this moment, the crocodiles became more and more docile under the old man's leading chant, and finally returned to the lake in unison.

Lin Yi thought he was well-informed, and he had never seen anyone who could communicate with the murderous crocodiles, and could retreat these crocodiles without any violence.

Seeing that the crocodiles had already retreated, the old man walked up to Lin Yi and said, "You should be the leader, although it doesn't look like it." ”

Lin Yi nodded a little embarrassed.

"My name is Pearl Amigal, and I am the high priest of the Maasai tribe." The high priest who claimed to be Amigal politely stretched out his hand and shook Lin Yi's hand.

Lin Yi shook hands with this old man who felt like the cannibal patriarch of a primitive tribe a little unnaturally, only to feel that the other party's hand was as rough as sandpaper, obviously he usually had a lot of work.

"My name is Lin Yi and I'm from the Lion City."

"Well, the Lion City, it's a beautiful place." Pearl nodded, as if remembering the Lion City he had seen.

"You've been there?" Lin Yi felt a little unreal, and felt that this seemingly isolated person could run away to a modern civilized city.

"I went almost thirty years ago, and I still remember a lot of details!" Pearl smiled heartily, then continued, "Welcome, there's been no guest here for a long time, and I don't know if you'd like to join us for tonight's dinner." ”

Pearl enthusiastically made an inviting gesture for them, changing that serious image, which surprised everyone.

Not everyone has such good fortune when encountering hospitable tribal sacrifices. Lin Yi and the others have been tired for a long time, and it is good to be able to take a rest now.

Of course, before going, Lin Yi secretly asked Wu Hao if the other party had any abnormal emotions. Wu Hao said that the old man's emotions were very calm, and he couldn't judge his true thoughts in his heart, but he was sure that there was no malicious intent. Lin Yi still trusted Wu Hao's analysis very much, and immediately led a group of people to the Maasai tribe.

On the way, a group of young men from the Maasai tribe made a simple stretcher and applied a layer of green mud to the place where Gar had been bitten, which was said to stop the bleeding and heal the wound. And Gar, who was grinning in pain, slowly stabilized his mood after applying the medicine, and finally fell asleep quietly.

After climbing an extinct volcano, the group soon arrived at the legendary Maasai tribe. The tribe is located in a lush wooded area, and the houses are all neatly planned wooden houses. These houses are basically the same size, except that there is a large square in the open air, and there are many people in the square at this time, as if they are preparing for some kind of celebration.

Lin Yi whispered a few words with the priest, only to know that today was the birthday of their god to celebrate their worship, and there would be a carnival event. Lin Yi wanted to ask something, but Pearl left in a hurry, saying that he wanted to prepare for the sacrifice. However, before leaving, he beckoned a young man to come over and answer Lin Yi's doubts.

"I want to know, what are you just singing, and how does it sound creepy at times and like a spring breeze at other times?" Lin Yi was most curious about this, he couldn't figure out how those crocodiles could be so obedient.

The young man's international language was not very clear, but after explaining for a long time, Lin Yi probably understood. Their communication with crocodiles has been around for a long time, and they also have a magical chant that allows them to do their bidding.

"I only know that some people will have an ability similar to hypnosis, but I have only heard of people, but I didn't expect it to be effective for crocodiles!" Wu Hao touched his chin, as if he wanted to twist his beard.

Lin Yi shook his head, he didn't know how to say it, and the group was not good at the affairs of the tribe, so they were all watching the excitement on the side. It wasn't until night fell that Pearl came to find them again, but this time his expression was heavy and he seemed to have a lot on his mind.

It wasn't until Pearl walked up to him that Lin Yi noticed that Pearl was holding a rather modern communicator in his hand.

"You fled here to escape the zombies, right?" Pearl asked straight to the point.

"Yes, it is estimated that most of the whole of Kenya has fallen into the encirclement of zombies." Lin Yi also told the truth directly.

Pearl nodded with a painful face: "The patriarch has gone to discuss with several other tribes to defend against these hell demons, but the situation is not optimistic. ”

"Have the zombies already chased after them?" Lin Yi was shocked, he just stabilized and wanted to run for his life again?

Pearl sighed: "Not yet, our side is a very remote place, maybe there will be no zombies coming." "Pearl doesn't want to see his own tribe hurt, so he can only put the situation at its best.

"Be prepared, too." Lin Yi kindly reminded.

"What do you guys do?" Pearl asked, looking around.

"Zombie killers." Whitson II shouted, startling a young man who had just walked nearby.

"Okay, you're good." Pearl looked at Lin Yi with a smile, and seemed to be very happy. At this time, the young man who was frightened by the second came over and asked, "Grandpa, I will also go with them to kill zombies." ”

Pearl ignored his grandson, and just said to Lin Yi: "Please take my little grandson to experience it, in exchange, we will take good care of your companions." ”

"Why do you want us to take your little grandson?" Lin Yi felt very strange that a person who met for the first time actually entrusted him with such an important matter.

"Trust me, Jerry, this kid has what you call the ** technique, I think he will be useful to you." Pearl smiled hesitantly, seemingly quite confident.

Lin Yi wanted to say something, but Pearl stopped him, and just asked Jerry to take the group to rest first.

Early the next morning, Pearl replenished them with ammunition and food, and pointed them a route.

The addition of new members adds a bit of freshness to the team. It's just that Lin Yi has all kinds of doubts in his heart, and the most incomprehensible thing is that the path that Pearl suggested they take is not so easy to take.
