The primitive walled city in front of him made Yue Heng feel as if he had traveled through time and space, entering an ancient astral world.
The entrance to the valley was sealed off by thick trees, covered with vines. Behind the wooden walls stood four tall sentry towers, with sentinels armed with bows and arrows standing guard.
There were also a few majestic lions lying on top of the walls, lazily basking in the sun.
As for the interior of the valley, the area near the entrance could not be seen, but there were wooden houses built against the mountain in picturesque disorder, with countless trees in the middle.
Many of the houses were even built on the branches of the trees!
Such a scene could only be seen in movies and television.
"Ah Sala Kata!"
When Yue Heng caught up, the native Beast Tamer had just run into the walled city through the gate. He was waving his hands and shouting loudly, looking flustered and exasperated.
The entire walled city was like a hornet's nest that had been poked with a stick, exploding!
The guards on the sentry towers were the first to discover Yue Heng. Without any hesitation, they drew their bows and shot sharp arrows at Yue Heng.
The two lions lying on the wall roared and jumped to the ground, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they pounced at Yue Heng.
At the same time, a group of valiant native warriors charged out of the walled city with machetes and axes in hand.
Yue Heng could not help but raise his eyebrows at such a grand "welcome".
He ignored the sharp arrows shot at him and raised his saber to meet the lion pouncing at him.
Like most mutated lifeforms, this lion's size far exceeded that of an ordinary African lion. Its huge body brought about a huge deterrent force that would make one tremble in fear.
And it was not an empty shell. The moment it pounced in front of Yue Heng, it swung its huge paw, its curved claws whistling through the air as it aimed at Yue Heng's vital points.
If this paw landed, even a thick-skinned rhinoceros would kneel on the spot!
However, no matter how fast and fierce the lion's paw was, it was not as fast and sharp as Yue Heng's saber.
Chi!
The lion's paw was cut off the moment the two sides came into contact, and the bright blade cut through the lion's head, cutting off half of the grassland overlord's head without any delay.
It didn't even have time to let out a wail before it fell to its knees.
Stepping on the lion's corpse on the ground, Yue Heng turned around and swung his long blade, mercilessly cutting open the abdomen of another lion.
The timing was impeccable!
The lion had no time to dodge at all. It staggered forward a few steps, its internal organs spilling all over the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the two majestic mutated lions fell into a pool of blood.
As for the arrows that came from the native guards, they bounced off Yue Heng's body without causing any damage!
This scene stunned the native warriors who had just rushed out of the walled city.
They hesitated and stopped their charging footsteps. They looked at each other in dismay, unable to advance or retreat, and fell into an extremely awkward situation.
Because the two lions that had just fallen under Yue Heng's saber were the guardians of the village and had great strength.
Even if their entire group worked together, they would not be a match for one of the lions!
In the end, the two lions that were like divine beasts in the eyes of the native warriors were unable to stop Yue Heng for a moment and died miserably.
Then what problem could they solve by charging forward?
The native warriors also knew their own limits. Although they were willing to give up their lives for the tribe, it was really difficult for them to summon the courage to die in vain when facing an opponent that they could not contend against.
Wu ~
Right at this moment, a powerful bugle horn suddenly sounded in the walled city.
Facing Yue Heng, the native warriors who were cowering in fear immediately retreated into the walled city as if they had been granted amnesty.
The archers guarding the sentry towers also stopped shooting at Yue Heng.
Seeing such a scene, Yue Heng, who had planned to charge into the walled city, stopped in his tracks.
Then, he saw an old native wearing a gray robe come to the gate of the walled city surrounded by a group of young natives.
This gray-robed old native was tall and had white paint on his face. His head was bald, and he was holding a thick cane in his hand.
"Brave warrior from a foreign country …"
The gray-robed old native stared at Yue Heng, who was holding a sword, and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk."
Yue Heng was a little surprised.
First of all, this old native spoke very authentic English with a standard English accent. He did not sound like someone from a primitive tribe at all.
Second, his attitude was very thought-provoking.
Yue Heng originally thought that he would have to kill his way through this native walled city to subdue the other party and rescue Dr. Chu Zhihao.
He did not expect the other party to be scared so quickly.
After thinking about it, Yue Heng put away his weapon and said, "We can negotiate, but let my compatriots go first."
The gray-robed old native gave him another surprise. "Okay."
He actually agreed so readily and did not have any intention of bargaining or waiting for the best offer.
After just a few minutes, a young man was brought over by two native warriors.
Yue Heng recognized at a glance that the other party was Chu Zhihao, whom he had been looking for.
This volunteer doctor's hands were tied with ropes, and his face was bruised and swollen.
Obviously, he had suffered a lot in the hands of the natives.
The gray-robed old native explained, "When our people caught him, he resisted very hard. I'm sorry."
After a pause, he added, "But we didn't really hurt him. You Shenzhou people have given a lot of help to the people of this country. You are not as greedy and shameless as the Europeans and Americans, so you should be treated as a guest."
"A guest?"
Before Yue Heng could speak, Chu Zhihao exploded. "Is this how you treat your guests?"
He raised his tied hands high, his face full of shame and anger.
Yue Heng nodded. "Very good. Now I believe that you have the sincerity to negotiate."
He suddenly waved his sword and cut off the ropes on Chu Zhihao's hands without hurting the latter at all.
Chu Zhihao was so shocked that his face turned pale. "Damn it!"
After coming to his senses, he looked at Yue Heng in surprise. "Bro, did you come here to save me?"
Yue Heng was a little puzzled. Why did such a guy come to Africa to be a volunteer, and a doctor at that?
Yue Heng nodded calmly. "Yes."
"My benefactor!"
Chu Zhihao immediately ran to Yue Heng's side and shed tears of gratitude. "Thank you, bro. I'll thank you properly when we go back!"
He asked again, "By the way, bro, have you seen Yang Bin? Are they okay? "
"They're fine. They're already on the way to evacuate."
Yue Heng replied, but he looked at the gray-robed old native. "Now, we can talk."
The gray-robed old native bowed and made an inviting gesture. "Your Excellency, please come in and talk."
If one did not look at his appearance and only looked at his temperament, he was very much like a British gentleman!
But both sides were very clear that such etiquette was completely based on the strength that Yue Heng had shown. Otherwise, the result would be no different from Chu Zhihao's experience.
