With Zhang Lie's sharp nose, the group finally found an indigenous tribe the next day. The three of them hid in the dense forest, looking at the dozen or so simple earthen houses by the river, as well as the natives coming and going nearby.

"I don't see anything wrong with these guys." After a while, Nick said.

Zhang Lie admits that Nick was right, there was nothing strange about these natives, and although the human heads hanging from the wooden poles around the tribe and the strange totems made of human bones were terrifying, they were not a big deal at all.

"It's useless to just look at it, let's talk about it when we go inside." With that, Zhang Lie separated from the bushes and walked out.

The naked natives didn't show much surprise at the three strangers who suddenly broke into the tribe, but after letting out a scream in unison, they rushed over with whatever they could use as weapons.

Dozens of natives covered in strange patterns, armed with spears and bows, did not even pay attention to them, but they heard the sound of a gunshot, and a large hole had burst in the chest of the strongest natives who rushed to the front, and they flew upside down like a broken kite.

The rest of the natives were stunned, and then rushed forward bravely. Zhang Lie's wrist flipped in the air and grabbed the bone machete of the native who was blown away, and then blew into the crowd like a whirlwind. After just one breath, I saw the blood mist splashed all around, and all the natives' right arms were cut off at elbows, and they fell to the ground screaming.

Seeing this scene, the natives who had not been able to rush in the distance all dropped their weapons in fear, screamed and turned around and fled into the dense forest. Zhang Lie dropped the machete and grabbed a native to question.

Only then did he remember that he didn't understand their language at all, and he couldn't help but cry and laugh a little, the solution was proposed by himself, but he actually forgot the most critical part, what should he do now?

At this moment, the curtain of the largest mud hut was lifted, and an old man with bright feathers on his head and a bone ornament all over his body walked out, looking like a figure like the chief of the tribe and the witch doctor.

Stunned to see the bloody scene, the old man was terrified. He suddenly muttered a series of local words, and when Zhang Lie was having a headache how to understand it, he heard Barry also muttering back for a while, listening to his tone, it seemed that he had heard something very amazing from the old man's words just now.

"This guy actually knows the local language?" Zhang Lie looked at Barry in surprise and joy, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Soon, the old man and Barry began a series of incomprehensible conversations, and Barry's tone became more and more urgent. Finally, Nick couldn't help but interrupt the two: "You understand what he's talking about?" ”

Barry said in a deep voice: "He is a witch doctor in the tribe, speaking an ancient Inca language that has been passed down for a long time, our clan raises Gu eggs, and there are many raw materials that need to be collected in the jungles of South America, so I can understand his words." ”

"And what did he just say?" Zhang Lie asked.

Barry looked puzzled: "It's weird, the first thing he said when he saw us was 'Why are you still here to arrest people, we've already contributed to Marudo'. ”

"Marudo? What is that? Zhang Lie frowned.

Barry shook his head: "I asked, the witch doctor repeated again and again, Marudo is Marudo, it seems that there is no other way to express it in their language. ”

"Then you ask him, what is Marudo used for?" Zhang Lie said again.

Barry quickly replied to the witch doctor for a while, and then said, "He said that Marudo was dedicated to God..."

"God?" Nick pouted, "I knew there was something wrong with these natives, so I didn't say anything at all." ”

Zhang Lie was also confused, the indigenous people of South America have a ritual of sacrificing living people to the gods they worship, and it seems that the witch doctor should be referring to another larger tribe to grab the sacrifices, and it has nothing to do with the news they want to inquire about.

Is it wrong to guess yourself? Zhang Lie was distressed, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said to Barry: "Ask him, where is God?" Who is coming to arrest Marudo? ”

Barry was stunned for a moment, as if he thought it was redundant for him to ask, but he still said as he said. To the surprise of the three of them, a look of extreme fear suddenly appeared on the witch doctor's face, and he waved his hand again and again in panic, saying something in a hurried native language, while retreating into the earthen house.

Seeing that he was trying to hide something, Barry and Nick immediately pressed over, by which time the witch doctor had retreated into the dark mud house. Suddenly, he seemed to sense something behind him and looked back in amazement.

"Be careful!" Zhang Lie also noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted.

As his body accelerated, Nick slammed into the earthen house, and almost at the same time heard a bang, and the entire earthen house had completely collapsed. There was a sudden crash of flesh in the dust, and a man had retreated.

"Good, these things are finally showing up." Zhang Lie stepped forward.

The dust gradually fell, and on the ruins of the earthen house, I saw several indigenous men with gloomy eyes like wild beasts standing proudly. Their bodies are painted with the totem of the feathered serpent, but it is not any kind of dye, but as if it has been branded in some special way, so that these people's bodies are like engraved engravings, showing countless vertical and horizontal indentations.

These men have disproportionately long and slender hands and feet, but their bodies are strong, giving them the impression of being flexible and powerful. The man was holding the witch doctor's head in his hand, his fingers sinking deep into the hard skull as if they were stuck in a puddle of mud.

The left sleeve of Nick's suit was completely torn, but the hard body of the Gang Kui kept him unharmed. He looked viciously at the group of men who suddenly appeared, his expression shocked and angry.

"Who are they? A warrior of the Quetzalcoatl? Barry said in surprise.

Zhang Lie smiled: "Who knows." But Nick, didn't you want to fight these guys for a long time? Catch them, and naturally you can ask more. ”

"Bastard, dare you attack me!" Provoked by Zhang Lie, Nick yelled and rushed forward with his gun.

In the face of the rushing Nick, several men did not move, and just as he approached, the man in front of him threw the body of the witch doctor at him, and several figures had jumped in all directions.

There was a bang, and the body of the witch doctor was cut in two, and in an instant, blood splattered from the bones. Blocked from view, Nick involuntarily stopped, and at this moment, everyone in the air was already rushing towards him at the same time.

Several arms grabbed Nick at the same time, tearing his suit to pieces, but not hurting Nick in the slightest. Confident in the hardness of his body, Nick didn't dodge at all, but instead turned the muzzle of the gun against a man's chest.

At the same time as the gunshot, the man was already throwing away, and the rest of the men flashed aside as if frightened. Picking a few bullets from the cartridge belt and reloading, Nick swaggered towards them.

That's when an amazing scene happened. The man who should have been shot by Nick slowly got up. I saw a deep pit in his chest like a rubber, and a huge runic bullet was deep inside. As the muscles slowly reset, the warhead also retreated.

"What!?" Nick watched in disbelief.

At the same time, the rest of the men's bodies also underwent strange changes. Their limbs were on the ground, their slender hands and feet slowly protruding from countless thorn-like bone spurs, while their palms were covered with a layer of grease-like things.

Whew... With a soft sound, a puff of white smoke came out of the place where the palms of several people's palms touched the ground.

Coincidentally, several men pounced on Nick again. Self-sustaining and hard, how can Nick be afraid of them? He licked his lips excitedly: "A group of monsters, blast your heads this time, see if you are not dead." ”

"Be careful!" Zhang Liehu reminded loudly.

"Huh?" Nick couldn't help but turn his head strangely, not understanding what Zhang Lie meant by this.

The answer was soon revealed, as a man slammed down on Nick's ground, his right paw slamming from the bottom up. Nick's body, which should have been unscathed, actually appeared with four extremely long deep scars under this grasp.

If you look closely, the edge of the wound is in a state of corrosion and dissolution, as if it has been eroded by something, and it seems that the strangeness lies in the layer of things on these people's hands.

Unexpectedly, he would be scratched, Nick had an expression of disbelief on his face, and he screamed, and a large stream of blood had spurted out of the wound. Without giving him a chance to breathe, the rest of the men swept past him, and at the same time Nick had several more scratches, large and small.

The hands and feet spun on the ground, and the men had turned around and rushed towards Nick again, in an undying posture. Nick has been in a mess under the sudden blow, where does he know how to dodge?

Seeing that Nick was about to be wounded by their men again, two fireballs burst from the side, and two explosions of flames burst into the sky, and the three men were knocked away by the impact.

At the same time, a black shadow rushed in, opened its mouth and bit a man's thigh and forced him into the bushes behind him, and then the branches broke and the trees cracked, and there was chaos.

"No wonder the scorpion net didn't react, it turned out that it was this group of guys who followed us." As he spoke, Zhang Lie and Barry walked up.

"How are you?" Zhang Lie asked Nick.

Nick was already covered in bruises, more than a dozen claw marks were scattered across his smooth body, blood all over his body, and he looked terrifying. He said with difficulty: "Their claws are strange, and my wounds cannot be healed. ”

"Wait a minute, pack these things, and we'll heal you." Barry said to him.

"Damn, hurry up, I'm dying of pain." Nick staggered over.

At this time, the three men who were forced back by the flames got up again and looked at Zhang Lie with unkind eyes. Barry pulled the crumb back from his hand, and the man he had bitten frantically struggled on the other end.

"Look at the guy in your hands, I'll deal with the rest." Zhang Lie said to Barry, saying that a flame had risen in his hand.

Barry nodded, and more than a dozen vessel-like tendons immediately branched out on the side of the evil limb beast's head, and the man who bit it was entangled in a mess. The fate of their companions seemed to irritate the remaining men, who let out strange shouts and forced Zhang Lie with their hands and feet.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a point in the bushes behind me, and a few more people came out, but it was the second group that Blatter was in. Seeing the situation in the field, an trolls said in surprise: "What's going on?" ”

"Get out of here, they're our prey." Nick said unceremoniously.

His face sank for a moment, and another Evil Eye warrior sneered at Nick, "Really? Looks like some guys can't even deal with a few people. ”

"You—" Nick was furious, but he couldn't do anything now that he was badly injured.

Seeing Zhang Lie and waiting for reinforcements to arrive, several men suddenly turned around and ran towards the jungle, and disappeared in an instant. The trolls immediately shouted, "Chase! ”

The members of the second group immediately chased into the jungle, and Blatter was still the same, following the other two unhurriedly, but when he ran past Zhang Lie, he unconsciously glanced at him.

Zhang Lie also looked at his back running into the forest with great interest, and said to himself, "Can you be a vampire who can move in the sun?" That's interesting. ”

"Why don't we chase it!" Nick suddenly said loudly.

"Because of you." Zhang Lie said unceremoniously, and then said before he changed color: "It doesn't matter if those guys give up to the second group, anyway, Barry has already caught one." ”

As he spoke, Barry retracted the Crim, and the man was firmly restrained, staring at the three of them. Walking up to him, Zhang Lie patted him on the cheek: "Who are you?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he patted his head: "Oops, forget this guy doesn't understand what I'm saying." He said to Barry, "You should come." ”

Barry nodded, manipulating the Extremity to pull the man in front of him, speaking a series of Indigenous languages.

But the man didn't mean to answer at all, just looked at Barry with a blank face. Frowning, Barry changed his language again, but still didn't respond.

"Looks like he's not going to speak." Barry said helplessly.

expected this to happen, so Zhang Lie said, "Then let me try it." ”

Barry was stunned: "Can you make him understand your words?" ”

Zhang Lie smiled: "Even if he doesn't speak, I have a way to know what we want." ”

He was about to summon Xiao Yu when he suddenly saw a hint of smugness flashing in the eyes of the man who was bound, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Zhang Lie intuitively felt that something was wrong with the other party, but he couldn't say what it was.

At this moment, Barry just asked, "What is the way...", and his face suddenly changed.

As soon as he pinched the Evil Limb Beast at one end of his body, he exclaimed, "What's in my body!" ”

Zhang Lie and Nick were shocked, and Zhang Lie noticed that the place where the evil limb beast and the man's skin were connected, as if they were sewn together with silk threads, actually fused together. And little by little, the man's body was dipping into the body of the Evil Limb Beast.

"Damn, this guy will devour flesh, cut off the Evil Limb Beast." Zhang Lie hurriedly shouted.

Barry stroked his hand in pain, and the entire Evil Limb Beast had fallen to the ground, but it was still a step too late. On his right arm, a large burn-like ulcer muscle was slowly covering his pale and thin body.

"Uh-huh, he's eating my body!" Barry screamed in horror.

"Calm down, cut off your hand." Zhang Lie hurriedly said.

"But, but this is my hand, if it doesn't work—" Barry looked unwilling.

"Bastard, what is your mother-in-law at this time, is a hand more important than a life?" Zhang Lie is annoyed by Barry's hesitation.

As long as he was talking, the rotten flesh had already invaded his right chest, and it was too late to cut off his hand. Barry hurriedly took out a Gu egg and put it in his mouth, while muttering a string of incantations indistinctly.

In an instant, the Gu egg in his mouth ruptured, and a tenacled object like a mask covered half of Barry's face, and at the same time, countless tiny blood streaks protruded from its surface and pierced the festering surface.

This is the Gu Ghost Clan's healing magic beast "Breath Induction", as the blood on the surface of the breath continues to bulge, the ulcers on the surface of Barry's body are repaired little by little, and the skin is pale again in a moment.

However, before Barry could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that the rotten flesh that had collapsed was covered again, and the blood that attached to it invaded Barry's face. This surprise was not trivial, and Barry hurriedly controlled the breath to speed up the treatment, and saw that there was another large canopy of blood spreading out, densely piercing towards the ulcer.

However, the more active the breath is, the faster the ulceration spreads, and in a moment Barry's face is covered with sweat. Seeing this, Zhang Lie hurriedly said to him: "This thing will absorb the demonic energy of the demonic beast, quickly unload the breath." ”

Nick said, "If this happens, Barry will be killed." ”

Taking a breath, Zhang Lie reached over: "Leave it to me, I may be able to remove the things that cover your body." ”

Barry immediately looked over and understood what he meant, Zhang Lie shook his head: "I'm only fifty percent sure." ”

Barry hesitated, apparently considering whether it was time to take a gamble. Seeing this, Zhang Lie grabbed his shoulder and shouted, "Believe me, aren't we partners in the same group? I'm sure I'll be able to get rid of it! ”

Finally, Barry had a decision. However, instead of unloading the breath, he manipulated it to slam it, and countless blood streaks immediately swelled, and it seemed that Barry was trying to forcibly suck the things that invaded his body.

Zhang Lie couldn't help but sigh secretly: "After all, I still can't believe my companions..."

But Barry's last attempt failed, and as the ulceration quickly covered his head and face, Barry roared in his throat, reached out and scratched his neck several times, and the servant fell to the ground and died.

At this time, the evil limb beast and the man it bit were already dead, and the corpse was a strange gray-white color, which looked extremely terrifying. And Barry's emaciated corpse shrank rapidly under the cloak and quickly disappeared.

"Is he—he's dead?" Nick asked, frightened.

Zhang Lie nodded; "This fool is too cautious and wants his own life."

As he spoke, he threw out a fireball with a wave of his hand, and the corpse that caught the ground and burned, and soon the corpse had turned into a pile of ashes, scattered with the wind.

"What do we do now?" After seeing the horror of those "people" just now, Nick is no longer as arrogant as before.

Zhang Lie groaned: "These guys are definitely not ordinary people, the 'god' and 'Marudo' in the mouth of the witch doctor just now must be the key to this incident, we have to find out the truth as soon as possible." ”

Nick said with palpitations: "How to find it?" That stuff is horrible. ”

Zhang Lie said: "The second group has already chased over, and we will also rush to it, they will definitely find something." ”

"Maybe the second group has also been..."

Zhang Lie smiled: "No, with that vampire here, the second group is not so easy to have an accident." ”

With that, he said to Nick, "How are your injuries?" ”

Nick clutched his chest in pain: "The wound can't heal, and I can't move quickly." ”

With a sigh, Zhang Lie took out a two-finger-sized porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to him: "This is something invented by humans, called morphine, I also added a little opium, eating it can temporarily relieve your pain, and I will heal you after catching up with them." ”

Nick took the vase, took it in his hand, and suddenly said, "I don't trust human things. ”

Zhang Lie was about to leave, when he heard the words, he turned his head: "Believe me, this thing is very effective." ”

Nick still shook his head: "No, I won't drink it, you better heal me first." ”

His eyes turned cold, and Zhang Lie said in a deep voice: "You don't dare to chase those people." ”

Nick immediately blushed and defended: "Who said that, I am a non-human, how can I eat human things." ”

"Then why did you use a runic gun invented by a human? Either eat it right away, or stay here yourself. Zhang Lie didn't bother to talk nonsense with him.

Nick was anxious: "We are a group of companions, how can you leave me alone?" ”

Zhang Lie smiled sarcastically: "Do you just remember that we are in the same group now?" It's a pity that Barry is dead, and you've paid the price for your recklessness, does it still make sense to say this now? ”

As he spoke, his voice lowered, "I'll be honest with you, I'm tired of your arrogance and stupidity, and I'll be very happy if those guys could kill you just now." I'd rather be in the same group as that harpy and vampire than partner with you shit. ”

With that, Zhang Lie turned around and walked towards the jungle, without looking at Nick again. Looking at the porcelain vase in his hand, Nick shouted unwillingly: "Don't forget, the elder group said that this test can only be won by the group, and you can't make the cut without me." ”

"Fool, think about it with your brain, what the Elders need is three people who can work together, who said it must be the same group? Get rid of you, and I'll be glad to find some useful companions. ”

Seeing Zhang Lie's figure disappearing into the jungle, Nick hurriedly poured the contents of the porcelain bottle into his mouth, and then chased after him: "Wait, you think about it again, without me..."

The large amount of morphine did work, and Nick was soon able to keep up with Zhang. With his natural hunter instinct, Zhang Lie effortlessly found the traces left by the second group in the dense forest and chased them all the way.

However, when three hours later, it was almost dark and still did not meet the second group, Zhang Lie finally felt that something was wrong. Although the abilities of the candidates this time are high and low, they are not incompetent, especially the vampire in the second group, why is there no trace of contact between the two sides until now?

Stopping, Zhang Lie squatted down and began to carefully identify the marks on the ground, and soon noticed that it was abnormal. At the beginning of the chase, the footprints of the indigenous men were in the front, and the second group was behind. But now, the footprints of those people have disappeared at some point, leaving only traces of the second group on the ground, and there are only two people!

In other words, at some point, the second group has been removed! What's even more surprising is that the second group isn't chasing anything at all, so what are they running here for?

There were too many strange things in this jungle, and countless mysteries poured into Zhang Lie's mind, making him feel like a mess, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

Knowing that there would be no result if he continued to chase, Zhang Lie said to Nick: "Rest here tonight, I will heal your injuries and decide what to do tomorrow morning." ”

Nick couldn't wait for such a sentence, and hurriedly walked to Zhang Lie's side. Now that his confidence has been lost, he has long since regained his arrogance at the beginning, but regards Zhang Lie as a protective umbrella.
