Prairie, St. Man Tribe.
Under the starry night sky, a bonfire was lit in the St. Man Tribe.
The younger generation of the tribe, led by Chara, had successfully snatched food from the lion's mouth and officially completed their coming of age ceremony. At this moment, the tribe was holding a celebration ceremony.
In the open space in the center of the tribe, four wildebeest were strung on the bonfire with their spoils of war. The tribal chief was holding a stone bowl filled with blood, muttering and dipping his index finger in the blood from time to time, blessing and crowning the warriors of this year.
Around them, the enthusiastic and unrestrained indigenous people sang and danced, celebrating the birth of the new warriors with primitive dances.
The three photographers who were rescued this time were also smiling as they filmed this scene, recording the sacred moment of the St. Man Tribe.
The coming of age ceremony continued, and the last one to receive the blessing of the chief was the Ancestral Leopard Warrior "Chara".
The chief walked in front of him, and Chara immediately lowered his head, waiting for the blessing.
The chief dipped his index finger in the stone bowl and drew a circle on Chara's forehead, then turned to the surroundings and shouted,
"The last blessing, to the youngest Ancestral Leopard Warrior of the St. Man Tribe, and also the strongest warrior of the St. Man Tribe, Chara!"
As the chief's voice fell, the tribe suddenly boiled up, and all the indigenous people began to cheer, offering their blessings and enthusiasm to the Ancestral Leopard Warrior.
At this moment, the faces of the three photographers also showed a smile.
In this new era, it was very valuable to see such an ancient ceremony.
The St. Man Tribe's carnival also began at this moment.
The three photographers also put down the estrangement in their hearts and integrated into the uplifting atmosphere of the St. Man Tribe, celebrating the coming of age ceremony of Chara and others.
The carnival lasted until 2 o 'clock in the morning.
During this period, various programs continued, such as wrestling between warriors, the prayers of the tribal priests, and so on …
The ancient culture of the St. Man Tribe gave the three photographers an illusion that they had traveled to the tribal era.
At this moment, the three photographers had an idea in their minds.
They originally came to the African prairie to photograph the migration of the wildebeest tribe, but in contrast, it was obvious that the customs of the St. Man Tribe were far more attractive than the migration of the wildebeest.
After this idea appeared, it could not be erased. Therefore, after the carnival ended, the leading photographer, Jack, found the chief of the St. Man Tribe and proposed the idea of staying to record the tribal life.
In order to show his sincerity, Jack expressed to the tribal chief that he was willing to provide a sum of money to support the development of the tribe.
The Tribal Chief did not reject this request and readily agreed to it.
This undoubtedly made Jack and the others very happy. After spending a night in the tribe, they drove their rented caravan to the Holy Man Tribe the next day.
This RV was the supply station that Jack and the others used to film on the prairie. There were many equipment and food supplies stored inside.
After that, Jack and the others stayed in the Holy Man Tribe and recorded the life of the Holy Man Tribesmen.
Soon, Jack and the others became familiar with the people of the Holy Man Tribe.
As the days passed by, Jack would write a diary every day, recording everything he saw and heard. At the same time, he would also take the initiative to contact the people of the Holy Man Tribe and learn about the ancient customs preserved by the tribe.
Jack vaguely felt that this documentary about the St. Man Tribe would be a hit, so he was especially serious about the production.
However, as he got deeper into contact with them, Jack discovered something that puzzled him.
Chara, who was known as the Ancestral Leopard Warrior in the tribe, was very different from the other clansmen in the tribe.
Rather than calling this Ancestral Leopard Warrior a human, Jack felt that it was more appropriate to call him a beast.
With speed and strength far beyond that of a human, and even the intuition of a beast, Chara's mysteriousness deeply attracted Jack.
In addition to curiosity, Jack also wanted to know more about this Ancestral Leopard Warrior and his secrets.
Jack first asked the people of the tribe about this, wanting to get some useful information from them.
However, their answers were very uniform. They all said that the Holy Man Tribe's ancestral totem, the "Ancestral Leopard", gave Chara the power to protect the continuation of the tribe.
Jack felt helpless about this answer.
After all, this was the 24th century, and he believed in science. He didn't believe this kind of completely deified ancestor's words.
However, in Jack's view, this Ancestral Leopard Warrior was an important part of the documentary. He must carefully understand this person.
Therefore, in the next few days, Jack deliberately approached Chara and took the initiative to talk to him.
It had to be said that Chara's appearance was very different from that of the people of the Holy Man Tribe.
He was nearly two meters tall, with solid muscles all over his body and a valiant aura. Especially under the sun, his dark muscles seemed to be cast out of steel, exuding a wild aura.
When facing Chara, Jack felt that he was facing a ferocious beast and was somewhat on edge.
However, Chara didn't have any hostility towards Jack. Faced with Jack's initiative, he didn't resist.
Because Jack had given the tribe a sum of money that could be used to exchange goods with the outside world, as the tribe's guardian, he was grateful to Jack from the bottom of his heart.
On this day, Jack once again found Chara, who was sitting on a big rock at the entrance of the tribe, facing the sun with his eyes closed.
"Good morning, Chara!" Jack, who was holding a pen and paper, greeted him first.
Hearing this, Chara opened his eyes. Even though it wasn't the first time he saw his aggressive and fierce eyes, it still gave Jack a scare.
"Hello, Jack!" Chara responded awkwardly, obviously not used to this way of greeting.
At this time, Jack skillfully climbed up the big rock and sat opposite Chara.
"Chara, today I want to know about the situation of your ancestral totem 'Ancestral Leopard'. Is it convenient for you to talk to me?"
Chara didn't answer and just nodded. He had long been used to Jack's daily harassment.
During this period of time, Jack would basically interview him for about an hour every day. Although Chara was very helpless, he still chose to accept it.
"Please begin!" At this time, Jack opened his notebook and said while holding the pen.
Chara nodded.
"The Ancestral Leopard is the totem of our tribe, and also the guardian of our tribe when it was founded. It was also because of the existence of the Ancestral Leopard that the weak Holy Man Tribe was able to flourish and gradually strengthen on this prairie!"
Swish swish swish … After Jack recorded what Chara said, he raised his head and asked,
"I would like to ask, is the Ancestral Leopard a kind of … ancient creature?" When he asked this question, Jack suddenly felt a little timid, afraid that his words would violate the taboo of the Holy Man Tribe, and then be torn apart by this Ancestral Leopard warrior in front of him.
Chara didn't have any resistance towards this question, and nodded.
"It was once the top predator on this prairie, one of the most powerful overlords. It had a long lifespan, almost immortal, and incomparably powerful strength. Its speed was like lightning, and its sharp claws could tear apart any enemy who dared to provoke it!"
Although he recorded this, Jack didn't approve of the existence of such a creature.
In his heart, he didn't approve of the existence of such a creature at all.
In Jack's opinion, Chara's description was completely exaggerated. It had a long lifespan, almost immortal, and was as fast as lightning. Was it filming a fantasy movie?
Of course, he still had to at least show some respect, and he didn't have the guts to go against it.
At this moment, Chara suddenly spoke with a strange expression.
"Jack, do you not believe what I said!"
"No, I believe it!" Jack was shocked, and immediately expressed his absolute belief.
"I've come into contact with the lives of you outsiders, so I understand how you think. I know that you don't believe in such things, but I have to tell you that the Ancestral Leopard really exists, and it is precisely it that gave me such great strength!"
Looking at Chara's solemn expression, Jack felt ashamed. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and asked,
"Chara, before coming to the prairie, I learned about this prairie. In the existing information, there is no record of a creature like the Ancestral Leopard at all. Neither fossils nor traces of its existence have been found!"
As he said this, Jack leaned back, preparing to be beaten.
However, at this moment, Chara sighed.
"There is only one Ancestral Leopard, so you naturally can't find its fossil. Moreover, the Ancestral Leopard only abandoned its body, and the real one still exists in our tribe!"
These words made Jack a little dumbfounded. What does it mean by abandoning its body, but still living?
As if seeing through Jack's doubts, Chara continued.
"According to the stories passed down from generation to generation in the Holy Man Tribe, the Ancestral Leopard began to age little by little because of the changes in the world. In the end, the Ancestral Leopard told my ancestors that its body could no longer absorb nutrients from the outside world to support the operation of its body. Therefore, the Ancestral Leopard chose to abandon its body and continue to stay in the Holy Man Tribe in the form of a soul!"
"What do you mean? The Ancestral Leopard is still in the tribe!" Thinking of this, Jack hurriedly asked.
"Yes!" Chara said without hesitation.
"Where is it? Can you take me to see it? " Jack's curiosity was immediately overflowing. In this line of work, he was extremely sensitive to any selling point. If he could discover a new species because of this, his name would go down in history.
Although he did not believe in the theory of abandoning the body to live in the form of a soul, such a legend was a selling point. It would be perfect if he could find the remains of an ancient creature that he had never seen before.
"No, the Ancestral Leopard is a sacred guardian. Only the warriors of the Holy Man Tribe who are recognized by it can see it!" Chara immediately refused Jack's request.
This undoubtedly made Jack feel very disappointed.
Saying such incredible things, but not letting him see it, it was simply whetting his appetite.
Of course, the Ancestral Leopard that Jack thought should be the remains of an animal. As for the fact that the soul was still alive, it was completely a belief created by the Holy Man Tribe's own imagination and deification.
However, Chara's strength was really inconceivable to him.
Lifting a boulder with one hand, running faster than a cheetah, all these abilities that exceeded the limits of the human body made Jack feel that Chara should be a genetic mutation, and had nothing to do with the Ancestral Leopard.
It was precisely because of this that the Holy Man Tribe recognized Chara as the Ancestral Leopard Warrior.
For things that he did not understand, Jack felt that he had more or less understood the truth.
As if seeing that Jack did not believe it, Chara suddenly said:
"Jack, if one day the world we live in is destroyed, leaving only a few thousand people alive, and these survivors form a tribe, when their descendants are born, all the technology in the world has disappeared. However, these people who survived the technological era will tell their descendants about the technological world before it was destroyed, such as the planes that could soar in the sky like birds, and the steel ships that could sail in the sea. Although they have not seen it, their descendants will believe what their parents have said. However, it will be passed down from generation to generation. After thousands of years, the descendants will inevitably no longer believe these things, because they have not seen it. Moreover, they will feel that all of this is the imagination of their ancestors, thinking that it is impossible for there to be a steel plane that can fly in the sky, right? "
Hearing this, Jack was stunned.
He could not refute these words, and he did not expect Chara to say such profound words.
Jack thought for a moment and was about to answer, when his cell phone rang.
Jack immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket and glanced at the text message.
"Jack, Battle Africa has finally started. End your documentary journey as soon as possible. Haha, I will start my battle first, waiting for you to come back!"
Seeing this text message, Jack was pleasantly surprised. As a photographer based in Africa, there were few pleasures in life, and gaming was one of them.
In the game, the one that he looked forward to the most was undoubtedly Battle Online.
Although this game had not been released to the African region, its popularity was unstoppable in Africa.
On major game video portals, exciting game video clips and battle highlights were extremely popular. Coupled with the unlimited freedom of the world structure and so on, all these deeply attracted a game enthusiast like him.
However, Battle Online had never thought of opening the server, and he was in the African region, so he could only wait bitterly. From time to time, he would go to the forums of other servers to vent his anger by scolding "Battle Dogs Official Discrimination against Africa".
At this moment, seeing this message, Jack was shocked.
Superhuman abilities, a bizarre and dazzling world, and a 100% realistic game world were more attractive to him than this prairie.
Thinking of this, Jack's face revealed a smile.
Now that the WiFi network had global coverage, even here, he could experience the charm of Battle for the first time.
This was because he had brought his virtual reality helmet, and it was lying quietly in the limousine.
