Unlike the young man's hot-blooded choice, most of the sly old men among the passengers on the ship wisely refused to disembark with the reason that they were too frightened after the shipwreck and were physically weak. However, they did not express any objection to the fact that they had to be restricted on food and drink if they stayed on the ship.
Of course, Zhang Lisheng would not choose to go into the unknown forest to pick up wood. Tina and Trish had witnessed the young man's powerful strength, so they had no objection to his choice.
Sheila, on the other hand, had only seen Zhang Lisheng carrying a big toad that jumped into his arms on its own, acting mysteriously.
Seeing him sitting on the side of the boat with a blanket draped over him, looking at the others disembarking in high spirits, he could not help but say in a low voice, "Even Walter limped down to pick up wood, but a healthy person like him is enjoying the fruits of others' labor.
Speaking of Walter, I forgot to ask you, Trish. Why isn't he with you … "
Upon hearing Sheila's words, Trish was stunned for a moment and quickly looked at the crowd disembarking along the suspension ladder. Indeed, she saw Walter staggering as he walked down the ship with a twitch on his face.
The girl's expression changed right away. She seemed to want to say something but in the end, she shut her mouth and lowered her head.
Tina, on the other hand, quickly covered her best friend's mouth. "Sheila, shut up …"
"There are two reasons why they're willing to pick up wood. Firstly, these people don't know how terrifying the word 'unknown' is.
Secondly, other than picking up wood, they have no other way to survive at all. I'm completely different.
Don't worry, Tina, I won't get angry with your best friend over such a small matter.
However, if she spouts any more nonsense, she'll have to be prepared to turn into feces if we encounter danger like the Amazon cannibal tribe again in the next few days, "Zhang Lisheng looked at the distant forest and said without turning his head.
"Oh, don't say that, baby. I promise Sheila will never spout nonsense again."
Zhang Lisheng's disgusting description sounded more embarrassing than threatening. As expected, Sheila's face flushed right away after hearing his words. However, Tina's palm that was covering her mouth made the girl unable to say a word of protest at all.
As for the young man, he no longer cared about Sheila at all. Instead, he stared at the midgets who suddenly returned to the coast with many thick vines in the distant forest.
Seeing the dwarves walking out of the forest one by one, the sailors and passengers who had already disembarked the ship became nervous.
Although they said that they wanted to interact with these aborigines from another world, when they really saw the wrinkles on their dark brown skin and the sharp teeth that were like those of wild beasts in their wide open mouths, many people couldn't help but clench their fists and instinctively put on alert.
"Don't be nervous, these aborigines don't have any ill intentions towards us. Everyone, don't enter the forest to cut wood for the time being and stay where you are. I'll go and communicate with their leader." Upon seeing that the surrounding was filled with tension, the old captain Fjodna shouted loudly.
After that, he slowly walked towards the dwarf with a feather on his head and smiled. His movements were so slow that it would not cause any misunderstanding. He gestured and said, "Hello.
We are a group of shipwrecked victims. The two huge stone pillars stuck our boat. We don't have any bad intentions. We just want to cut some wood in the forest to make a fire … "
The leader of the aborigines looked at Fjodna, who was gesticulating with his hands and feet. Without warning, he pointed at the place where the captain was standing just now and started waving his arms and legs while shouting.
"Y-You want me to go back?" Fjodna pondered for a while before turning around and making a gesture of walking back. "I hope that I can go back."
"Ahhhh …" The dwarf nodded his head repeatedly and began to point at the place where the captain was standing just now with greater force.
"Alright, I'll go back there. I'll go back there and we'll communicate again." Fjodna, who had stayed in Africa for a long time, knew that these aborigines who seemed to belong to a primitive society would have many quirks that modern people could not understand. For this reason, he slowly walked back to the place where he was standing just now.
Looking at the old captain walking further away, the aborigines' leader did not chase after him. Instead, he commanded his subordinates to run to the three stone pillars not far away from the shore and used vines to wrap nine ropes around them.
Then, he led all of the aborigines to worship for a while at the three sandpits with a diameter of half a meter directly opposite the stone pillars. Then, he commanded the midgets to use vines to frame a large rectangular sandy land by the sea and moved four huge stone mortars from the forest to press on the four ends of the opposite corners of the sandy land.
After doing all of this, several hundreds of midgets surrounded the sandy land surrounded by vines with a solemn expression. Among them, the strongest 18 of them walked into the sandy land with a satisfied and excited expression and began to fight for a rattan ball that the aborigines' leader had just wove with his agile hands and feet.
When the sailors and passengers on the Elizabeth Holiday, who were watching the aborigines busily doing something with a solemn expression, saw this unexpected and strange scene, they could not help but be stunned in unison. Then, some of them burst out laughing. "Those aborigines are performing primitive rugby for us to see.
Oh my God! I can't believe that I can actually see a live broadcast of a football game in the supernatural realm! "
Someone even took the opportunity to show off his profound knowledge. "It seems that they really think of us as gods. It's just like how the ancient Greeks held sports competitions at the foot of the Olympic Mountains where the gods lived. They want to play ball to make us happy."
The old captain, Fjodna, did not have a relaxed mood like the others. Due to the visual blind spot caused by the two huge stone pillars in the sea, he had overlooked the three relatively short stone pillars on the shore.
At this time, he noticed that after careful observation, he realized that the carvings on the short stone pillars were very similar to those on the huge pillars in the sea. Both of them must have some kind of connection.
However, this alone was not enough to make Fjodna nervous. Among all of them, only Zhang Lisheng knew what was going to happen the moment he saw the aborigines weaving the rope on the stone pillars.
When he saw that the midgets had begun their football game, he thought about it and kindly reminded Tina, "Tina, after those midgets finish their football game, it's best for you, Trish, and Sheila to close your eyes if you're afraid."
"What?"
"I have a hunch that something strange and horrifying will happen later. If you're afraid, just close your eyes."
"Deliberately mystifying," Upon hearing Zhang Lisheng's explanation, Sheila, who was by the side, curled her lips and whispered.
"Sheila, stop throwing a tantrum. In such a strange place, it's best for us to listen to Lisheng. You must know that primitive religions are very horrifying. When I was studying in the church school in California when I was young, I've heard many horrifying stories from the nannies."
"Trish, that's the nuns brainwashing you …"
"Sheila, what are you talking about?!"
Criticizing the nuns for no reason was tantamount to blasphemy against the church. Sheila knew that she had said something wrong so she quickly apologized. "Oh, oh, I'm sorry, my dear! I didn't mean it. You know, I'm also a believer of God …"
As the two girls were talking, the indigenous midgets' football game became more and more intense. In the beginning, they were only using their hands and feet to fight for the rattan ball, but now, it became bloody.
The sailors and passengers of the Elizabeth Holiday could not recognize the faces of the midgets. They could only see that the 18 aborigines began to attack each other with their bare hands mercilessly. All of a sudden, a midget who seemed to have a sturdy build actually held a rattan ball in his hand and kicked off the knee of a skinny aborigine who was blocking his way.
When the injured midget hugged his left leg that was bent into a 'V' shape and wailed in pain, he rushed to a stone mortar in a few steps and smashed the rattan ball into the stone mortar with all his might.
This seemed to be an action to score a goal. After he was done, the sturdy midget began to howl madly towards the sky. Several of his teammates also began to shout loudly as they prostrated themselves on the ground to worship the sky.
Upon seeing such a scene, most of the sailors and passengers of the ship who were watching the indigenous football game in a relaxed manner turned grave. Not long after, they saw another scene that made them feel even more baffled. The midget whose leg was broken howled for a while before he hopped up on one leg with the help of his companions and continued to fight for the rattan ball.
At this moment, Harry, who finally understood the captain's words that the indigenous's way of thinking might be strange and completely different from our logical way of thinking, lowered his voice and said, "Sir, I don't know what's going on in the brains of these midgets. Should we …"
"Ask the security guards to open the safety of the guns but don't act rashly without my order."
"Yes!"
On this side, the captain of the Elizabeth Holiday ordered the first officer to ask the security guards to be on alert. On the other side, the crazy football game of the indigenous midgets was still going on. Not only that, the scene of physical collision became more and more common. In the end, when one side smashed the rattan ball into the stone mortar for the ninth time, this bloody game finally came to an end.
Right now, the losing side had already lost most of their limbs. After losing the game, they supported each other dejectedly and crawled out of the stadium that was made up of vines.
Right now, the winning side was also covered with cuts and bruises. However, they still had an extremely proud expression on their faces. Under the shouts of hundreds of their compatriots, they ran around the stadium with all their might before kneeling in a row in the middle of the stadium after running one round with all their might.
The next native who smashed the rattan ball into the stone mortar the most suddenly made a 'V' shape gesture and raised it up high towards the sky. "Sh * t! That midget also knows the 'victory' gesture! Don't tell me that he's also from New York …" In the midst of an inappropriate joke, he abruptly inserted two of his fingers into his own eye sockets.
With a light gouge, he dug out the watery eyeballs that looked like broken black and white blisters.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh …" Even though the girls on the deck of the cruise were far away, they could not help but exclaim crazily at this moment. Some of them even collapsed onto the ground.
Tina hugged Zhang Lisheng right away. "Lisheng, it's too scary! It's too scary …" Trembling all over, Trish also unconsciously leaned against the young man with a pale face. Clenching her teeth, she suppressed her shivering body and squatted beside Zhang Lisheng.
