At this moment, Zhang Lisheng, who had broken through to Rank-4 Wizard, felt extremely happy. However, due to the fact that he was in danger, he did not test the power of his newly obtained witchcraft incantation recklessly. He did not waste his extra wizard power to refine his two wizard gus again. Instead, he spat a mouthful of black blood while looking at the aborigine's body from afar and shouted 'assemble'.
The black blood turned into a blood mist and drifted into the bloody wounds on the corpse. Soon, countless insects in the rainforest gathered and devoured the flesh and blood.
Zhang Lisheng was secretly relieved to see the hundreds of millions of flying and crawling insects in front of him. Although Island Dragon and Mountoad were powerful, the sea of insects was still more effective in dealing with a whole tribe of cannibal aborigines.
After the net was cast, he quietly waited for his prey to walk into the trap. However, the strange thing was that after more than ten minutes, no new aborigines appeared.
Of course, it was impossible for such a huge cannibal tribe to kill more than ten warriors and tens of women. Zhang Lisheng thought about it and rode on Island Dragon carefully. He walked to the mud and straw houses far away.
As he continued to advance, the sky full of insects naturally followed him. When he got close to the mud and straw huts, all of them had already been enveloped by the sea of insects.
Although that was the case, there was nothing unusual in the mud hut. Therefore, Zhang Lisheng controlled Island Dragon to sweep its tail across the roof, tearing the mud hut apart.
The thatched hut was empty except for a large tree that had been cut open. The ground was actually muddy woodland.
"This is the life of a primitive man." Zhang Lisheng mumbled to himself and controlled Island Dragon to tear down another straw hut. He had a different discovery this time. He saw a sleeping native baby on a big tree that was torn apart.
Zhang Lisheng's heart jolted. He suddenly understood the reason why the cannibal native women resisted stubbornly at first and begged later.
Stubborn resistance is to protect their children;
After losing the ability to resist, they begged so that Zhang Lisheng, who was skinny and covered in mud, who was controlling his wizard gu just like the other tribal wizards, would not kill and eat their children, even if it meant that he would raise them as slaves.
Naturally, the baby without consciousness was innocent. Zhang Lisheng would have sighed when he saw the native baby under normal circumstances. However, he merely glanced at it coldly when he was chanting witchcraft incantation. He then controlled Island Dragon to destroy the mud and straw huts as he moved forward slowly.
After destroying god knows how many mud and straw huts, Zhang Lisheng finally arrived at a flat land with hundreds of totem poles.
Although the flat ground was also made of mud, it was tightly compacted and was as flat as cement. It was obvious that it was developed by the natives in the jungle.
The largest colorful totem pole in the center of the flat ground was actually around ten meters in diameter and over a hundred meters in height. It gave people the urge to bow down and worship it. It was really hard to imagine how a group of natives could carve such a huge wooden pillar in such detail.
After looking around carefully, Zhang Lisheng realized that there was nobody on the ground, so he looked up at the huge totem pole curiously. He could faintly see that the pole was divided into five layers. The first layer was carved with a bunch of short green men that looked like they were floating in the air.
The third layer of the totem pole was carved with a gigantic tree. The fruits growing on the tree were green dwarfs.
The green dwarfs on the fourth layer had finally disappeared. They were replaced by a bunch of red-haired white men that had slender bodies and four limbs. They were holding diamond-shaped gems in their hands.
The last layer was carved with flat yellow cards floating in the vast jungle. The cards formed giant doors on the ground. The giant doors were glowing, they seemed to be connected to different worlds.
The moment Zhang Lisheng saw the giant doors, he recalled what the native young man who sold him the jelly gems in Lunuk City told him before. "Over ten days ago, I saw a dim yellow light flashing in the jungle when I was peeing behind the house … I saw a … glowing door."
The instant Zhang Lisheng saw those giant doors, he suddenly recalled what the native young man who sold him the jelly gem in Lunuk City had said before. "Over ten days ago, I saw a dim yellow light flashing in the jungle all of a sudden when I was peeing at the back of my house … I saw a … shining door."
He looked at the jelly stone on his wrist by instinct. He took it off and pinched it twice. Realizing that it was not a good time to study the stone, he put the jelly stone on his other wrist and controlled Island Dragon to circle on the ground.
All of the aborigines in the tribe seemed to have disappeared. Zhang Lisheng carefully and cautiously explored every corner of the flat land, but he still found nothing in the end. Just when he was feeling puzzled, he suddenly heard a faint 'hmph hmph …' sound resonating from far away.
The natives in the tribe seemed to have disappeared. Zhang Lisheng checked every corner of the flat land carefully but he found nothing. Just when he was feeling puzzled, he heard a faint 'hmph …' sound coming from far away.
Passing through a patch of giant vines, he suddenly saw a huge old wooden cage in front of him. The wooden cage was made of hardwood as thick as the mouth of a bowl. The gap between the two wooden pillars was at most ten centimeters wide. Inside the cage were twenty to thirty bloated people who were either naked or in ragged clothes. There was also a corpse that was so skinny that it was only skin and bones.
There were shallow grooves dug around the cage. The grooves were filled with red and green food that smelled like a thick paste. The fat people in the wooden cage were kneeling on the ground at the moment. They extended their hands out of the cage and grabbed the food from the grooves. They were gobbling the food into their mouths with a 'hmph hmph …' sound.
"The cannibal tribe's corral. Sheila should be locked here if she's still alive," Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment and mumbled to himself softly.
This was the cannibal tribe's livestock cage. The vegetable people who were their food would be locked in the wooden cage before they were eaten. They would be fed with food that was mixed with mashed hallucinogenic wild fruits.
The vegetable people who ate such food would forget about fear. They would eat and drink all day long and eventually, they would grow fat. The natives would then pick the fattest ones to eat.
The vegetable people who saw through the trap would usually endure the hunger and not eat or drink. The cannibals would not force them. More than 90% of them who were not determined would give in to the hunger eventually. Meanwhile, the remaining vegetable people who would rather die of hunger than become food would really die of hunger or get out of the wooden cage from hunger. They would then become the native warriors' hunting targets to show off their bravery.
Everything seemed cruel and unbelievable but it was the bloody path of survival of the fittest that the cannibal tribe who lived in the harsh primitive jungle chose to maintain the continuity of their bloodline.
Zhang Lisheng sat on Island Dragon and looked at everyone's face in the wooden cages carefully. Although the fatties had turned into a similar expression with a face full of mud, Sheila, Shittu and Walter were captured by the natives not long ago. Soon, Zhang Lisheng noticed them.
"You guys are really lucky." Zhang Lisheng mumbled to himself while looking at the three smelly young men who had gained at least 20 to 30 kilograms in just a few days. He then controlled Island Dragon to break the wooden cage with its tail and lifted its front claws to grab Sheila and the rest. He then placed them on Mountoad's back that was bulging.
Later on, he looked at the other vegetable people with different skin colors and sighed. He then controlled the two wizard worms to bring the three of them back to the tree hole where Tina and Trish were hiding.
Zhang Lisheng got off Island Dragon's back after controlling Mountoad to exhale and hopped back into his backpack. He ignored Sheila, Walter, and Shittu who were sitting on the ground and shouted, "Sheila, Walter, and Shittu are back.
However, most of the cannibal tribe members disappeared for no reason. I didn't kill them. "
"Oh, God! Thank you so much, Lisheng! You've saved Sheila and Walter …" After climbing out of the tree hole, Trish suddenly saw Sheila and the others appearing in front of her safe and sound. However, right after that, she realized that there was something wrong with her best friend and boyfriend. After taking a closer look, she exclaimed in surprise, "W-What happened to Sheila and the others?"
"They were already like this when I found them.
I guess the natives were planning to fatten them up before eating them. They fed them hallucinogenic plants so that they would stuff all the food they saw into their stomachs like force-feeding ducks.
However, it seems like they should be able to recover slowly if they can walk out of this jungle. "
"Of course, they can walk out of this jungle because of your help," Tina said softly while looking at her best friend's dumbfounded expression.
Zhang Lisheng was in a great mood since he broke through to Rank-4 Wizard. He did not refute what Tina said but said while smiling silently, "It's not safe to camp near the cannibal tribe blindly. Moreover, it's still early, we still have some time to go today. Let's go."
Tina and Trish nodded at the same time after calming themselves down. They then helped Sheila, Walter, and Shittu to sit on Island Dragon's back. They then sat at the front and tail and squeezed the three of them tightly.
"Lisheng, get Island Dragon to walk slower when we're going. Sheila and the rest are still in their right mind, they can't sit properly at all. They have to rely on me and Trish to hold them …"
"Tina, you guys are so imaginative. No wonder you guys came to Amazon to explore." Zhang Lisheng watched them for a while and climbed down Island Dragon's back. He picked up a few vines from the jungle and pulled them rather sturdy. He then trapped Sheila and the rest on the wizard worm.
"You're really an expert in jungle exploration," Tina said with her eyes wide open in admiration seeing what Zhang Lisheng did.
"I've only seen people tying pigs in my hometown. I hope these vines are sturdy enough. Otherwise, there's nothing I can do to save them if they fall." Zhang Lisheng controlled Island Dragon to leap onto a big tree as he spoke. He then spiraled up and began running on top of the jungle.
At the same time, over ten short, hollow totem poles on the cannibal tribe's flat ground with many totem poles cracked open all of a sudden. Many headless bodies were revealed.
The bodies fell onto the ground through the cracks on the wooden poles. They exploded into yellow mist all of a sudden and condensed into an oval mirror that floated in mid-air.
The mirror rotated for a while after it appeared. It projected images and sound like a television.
