Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Savage Tribe
So before dawn the next day, I endured the pain all over my body and urged Wei Shengjin to get up and set off. Fortunately, our physique is not ordinary, Wei Shengjin put on the snakeskin vest he made at night, and threw me another one, I feel very light on my body, but I don't know if there is a protective effect, in this primeval deep forest, a little more protection is better than nothing.
We went to the place where we encountered the giant snake yesterday, and I saw that the grass and trees were all broken, and I was really scared to see this scene, if it weren't for the piranhas in the river, I'm afraid we would have turned into snake dung by now.
Wei Shengjin and I searched all the way in the direction where Ivan fled yesterday in my memory, and on the way, we also saw strips of cloth on the branches of trees that Ivan wrapped in his injured leg, but there was no trace of Ivan. Could it be that something has happened to him? He doesn't have the physique of an ordinary person like me and Wei Shengjin, and the injuries on his legs have not healed, so once he encounters a beast or something, he is estimated to be powerless to fight back. The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, and I couldn't help but quicken my pace.
After walking for more than an hour, there were no traces of Ivan on the road, and after we climbed over a hill, a wide riverbed appeared in front of us, I guess it was still the same river from yesterday, there were a few canoes made of hollowed out tree trunks parked by the river, but there were no people next to it, the river was wide, and the river flowed slowly.
There were rows of thatched huts in the woods on the opposite bank, and people could be seen walking around. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that I had finally found people, and that there was a good chance that Ivan had fled to this village. We can also go over and order food and rest for a while.
So Wei Shengjin and I set up a canoe on the shore and crossed the river.
I was happily about to go straight to the crowd of people sitting around, but Wei Shengjin grabbed me and said:
"Wait! You see what they're doing first."
I craned my head and looked closely.
I saw dozens of naked people, their faces painted with red and black oil paint, sitting around a large fire. Something was roasting on the fire, some of them were happily talking about something with their companions, some were stuffing something into their mouths, and some were gnawing on bones with bones in their hands.
"Didn't you see them eating? We just happened to go over and ask them for something to eat! You're not hungry, are you? I shook off Wei Shengjin's hand and said.
"You see clearly, you look carefully at what they are holding in their hands? Do you dare to eat it? ”
As soon as I heard him say this, I felt that something was wrong, so I quietly walked a few steps forward, hid behind a hut and watched carefully, and at this look, I suddenly felt my scalp tingling, shuddering, and the wounds all over my body were also burning pain......
It turned out that the bone that the man was gnawing in his hand was clearly a human calf, because his toes were still attached to it, and there was also a human arm holding it, and his mouth was full of blood, gnawing with relish. On a thick branch on the fire, the corpses of half a person were roasting, and the corpse's head was gone, which was terrifying! I've never seen a scene like this even if I had a nightmare, but now it's really happening in front of my eyes. My stomach was tumbling for a while, and I couldn't help it, and I vomited it with a wow.
"It's a cannibal tribe!" Wei Shengjin followed me and whispered.
Ivan hasn't found it yet, won't ...... I was flustered!
Look at the group of wild men screaming and screaming, throwing away the food in their hands, and running in the direction where we are hiding, it seems that they have found it.
"What should I do?" Wei Shengjin asked me.
"There's nothing to do, just kill them as a last resort! What the fuck you eat, you have to eat people!" I pulled out my throwing knife and replied categorically. It's so scary and disgusting.
We didn't wait for the group of savages to run closer, we walked out from behind the thatched hut, Wei Shengjin already held the flying knife in his hand, and I was ready to do it at any time, we can't do it with the giant snake, and it will not be a problem to destroy these dozens of savages.
The group of wild people were naked, only hanging two leaves on their waists, which was really environmentally friendly and natural, they croaked and screamed, ran not far away but stopped, and then they all knelt in front of us in twos and threes and kept kowtowing and bowing, and there were words in their mouths!
"What does that mean? Will they give us the consecration before they eat us? Taste better? Wei Shengjin muttered to himself.
I was also a second monk for a while, and I couldn't figure out what was going on.
After a long time, I watched this group of cannibals have been pointing fingers at the snakeskin vests on the two of us, and I suddenly realized: this group of wild people has been living here, and must have encountered the giant snake, they worship the giant snake as a god, and today they see us wearing vests like the skin of the giant snake, and they probably regard us as the messengers of the giant snake, anyway, they think that we have some kind of relationship with the giant snake.
As soon as I told Wei Shengjin the reason, he also felt justified and relaxed.
Then the group of wild men surrounded us and walked towards the place where we had eaten human flesh, I guess it was their big open-air cafeteria, and they probably didn't want to invite us to eat human flesh!
Wei Shengjin and I were reluctant to go over, those savages were also smart, they seemed to know what we were afraid of, and after a while, they cleaned up the place, and we walked over slowly, I thought to myself, no matter what, I have to ask them for news of Ivan.
When we came to the fire, we saw that the soil on the ground around us was already red and black, which showed that this was their fixed slaughterhouse! Look around at the thatched huts, all framed with sticks and then painted with mud, and the roofs are covered with thick thatch. One room has a size of 10 square meters. Dozens of rooms were filled with men but also women and children. They were all naked, with only a few leaves hanging from their waists.
Looking at this group of savages who were in awe of us, I thought to myself: I don't know their language, how can I ask for news of Ivan!
So Wei Shengjin and I were dancing with the wild people and trying to communicate, but in the end we were exhausted and made no progress, and a wild man thought we were hungry, so he brought a human arm and sent it over. Frightened, Wei Shengjin and I screamed and ran away.
Later, I had the courage to follow the wild man into a thatched hut, and I saw that there were dozens of dried people's arms and thighs hanging on the beams of the wall, and there were even children's, and one of them was actually soaked in a green liquid. I'm going to fuck it! Is it to be saved for the Chinese New Year? I covered my nose and forcibly suppressed a burst of nausea and nausea, and looked at the heads one by one, and they turned out to be their own people! Thank goodness I didn't see Ivan.
Just when the two of us had nothing to do, and we didn't know whether to leave or stay, we heard a burst of wailing sound from a thatched hut next to us. That's not impossible! If you don't work hard to create people, they won't have enough meat to eat!
