my stealth fighter

Chapter 426
Leila looked at Luisa's hands, and saw that the latter's hands were wrapped in a layer of animal skin under the forearms, and linen was wrapped around the palms and fingers-this kind of attire could easily make people think that Luisa is a woman. A transcendent who is proficient in bows and arrows, but she does not carry any bows or other long-range throwing weapons.

Luisa stroked the strip of linen in her palm, and her mind went back to the time when the girl died in the moor.

At that time, the furious villagers were chasing them. The villagers did not know that the girl was dead, and they would not let go of the girl who dared to kill her father, because this was equivalent to challenging authority and tradition. It will be troublesome for other girls to follow suit, and the supremacy of men in the family will be shaken.

And Louisa is considered to be the devil who lures the girl to fall. If she is caught, the only result waiting for her is to be burned to death.

In such a place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the law is meaningless.

Among the villagers was a hunter who was very good at tracking. Luisa fled in a hurry. She didn't dare to seek refuge in any village, so she could only burrow into the dense forest and tall grass.

Several times, the trackers passed her by and almost caught her. Fortunately, they didn't have hunting dogs, otherwise she would never have escaped.

Just like that, she didn't dare to turn her head back, and went deeper and deeper into the dense forest. Anyway, even if she was eaten by wild animals in the dense forest, it was better than being burned alive.

During her escape, she was worried from morning to night, and didn't have much time to think about her own affairs. She just vaguely felt that the matter of Leila and the girl might be related to her.

Fortunately, it was the rainy season at that time, and there were heavy rains in the tropical rainforest every three days, which washed away her whereabouts. The villagers gave up after searching for her for a few days, and the villagers knew that they were there in the depths of the rainforest. An unprovoked tribe.

But Luisa didn't know that the villagers had stopped chasing her a long time ago. Besides, she lost her way, and even if she knew it, she couldn't get out. Lack of food, as long as you can get your mouth out.

I don't know how long she walked, Luisa's physical strength became weaker and weaker, and she was always exposed to the rain, which made her have a fever. Finally, one day, she fell to the ground with a plop while walking, and could no longer stand up. consciousness.

She thought that she would die like this, and become a dry bone that can be seen everywhere in the rainforest, but in fact she did not die. In the haze caused by the high fever, she felt that her body was moved, moved to a certain place, There were flaming fires, the sound of singing and dancing like a party, and someone sat beside her and looked down at her.

A cool viscous substance was smeared on her forehead, a bitter medicinal soup was poured into her mouth, and she fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, what she saw was a roof made of thick thatch and large banana leaves. The surroundings were filled with a certain smell of incense. There were some people talking in the distance, and the voices seemed to be all women. , the vernacular they used was a language she was not very familiar with.

Someone around her noticed that she had woken up and walked out of the hut to find someone.

After a while, a woman walked into the room. She looked very young, but her eyes had a sense of vicissitudes that did not match her age.

After she changed several different native languages ​​and made sure which one Luisa could understand, she asked with a smile, "You finally woke up, how do you feel?"

Luisa tried to sit up, but her whole body ached like a frame falling apart. Her mind hadn't fully recovered yet, but at least her high fever had subsided.

She pressed Louisa's shoulder, "Your illness is just right, you should stay in bed for one more day."

"Where am I... where am I?"

Luisa looked sideways at the door of the hut. She could see women wearing animal skins and simple fabrics coming and going, dressed as if they were in a primitive tribe. These women were very young, and some were a year or two younger than her. Half a child.

However, the eyes of these women are full of confidence and peace, and they look straight ahead with their heads held high, much like women in developed countries, but different from the indigenous women in the village.

"This is our tribe, and I am the chief here."

Luisa looked at the chief again in surprise. This place is really a primitive tribe?
The chief's majestic demeanor did not look like a joke, and everything around him didn't look like a joke.

"Yes...you saved me?" Luisa asked.

"The gods sent you here." The chief corrected her. "We thank God for his gift."

Luisa couldn't quite understand it, but it was obviously this primitive tribe that saved her.

"Thank you," she said.

The chief smiled, "Sisters don't need to thank each other."

Luisa frowned. She felt that the chief might have misunderstood something. It was her first time to come to this tribe, so why did she call her brother all of a sudden?

"Anyway, thank you very much for saving me." She was in a completely unfamiliar environment, and she didn't know the character of these primitive tribesmen, so she didn't dare to say anything, for fear of offending them.

The chief's eyes seemed to see through everything, and he said: "You still need to take another day of medicine today, I will send someone to bring it to you, and you can get out of bed tomorrow, if you need anything, just say, there are people outside I can help you... By the way, sleep well today and don't think about it."

"……OK."

Luisa nodded. It seemed that these people were quite talkative, but the chief's last sentence seemed to be meaningful, and she didn't understand it.

After the chief left, she temporarily breathed a sigh of relief, lay back on the bed, and changed to a comfortable side-lying position, where she could see outside the door.

For some reason, as long as the chief stands beside her, there will be an invisible sense of coercion covering her, especially the chief's eyes, which seem to be very penetrating, seeing through her every moment through the clothes. One inch of her body, everything about her is invisible in front of the chief... I hope this is just her illusion.

A young woman came in to bring her water, medicine, and food, so that she could finally stop being drugged. Taking this opportunity, she asked a few questions, but the other party knew everything, but there was no useful information. The tribe is located deep in the rainforest, and it is not known how far it is from the nearest city, only that it is far away.

She had no choice but to find a way to ask others after she recovered from her illness. She lay in bed and observed silently all day, and then found a very interesting question, that is, there are no old people, not even middle-aged people in this tribe. People, and there are no children under the age of ten. Judging from the appearance, the age distribution is between the teens and twenties, and it confirms her previous guess that this is a country of daughters.

Then, when she saw a girl walking into the square in the center of the tribe with a huge beast on her shoulders, she finally couldn't calm down, because the giant beast was too big, and the girl's figure was too big compared to her. Ordinary, it's like an ant carrying a prey that is several times or even ten times larger than its own size and weight, and the girl's demeanor is as if it is light.

Luisa was dumbfounded and almost doubted her eyes, worried that she was still having a high fever and dreaming. Judging from the sound and vibration caused by the giant beast being thrown to the ground, it was obvious that the giant beast was not a movie prop made of foam plastic.

Let alone a girl with an ordinary body, even a male strongman would have a fantasy to walk with such a huge monster on his shoulders.

Idlers came to help skin, bled, and gut the beast, and Luisa was numb with shock when she saw another girl igniting a large bundle of firewood with her empty hands.

Did I see hallucinations when I had a fever, or are these all real?

Luisa couldn't help but think of Layla and the girl on the road. The two of them showed different but equally astonishing abilities one after another. They were strange among ordinary people, but if they were placed in this tribe, they would have no sense of disobedience.

But why?Why do they have such amazing abilities?
When she was in school, she had heard about extraordinary beings, but she always felt that those extraordinary beings were far away from her, no different from UFOs or Bigfoot, they were all similar to urban legends.

Now she naturally thinks of the Transcendent, otherwise there is no other explanation, unless she believes that she is having a fever, dreaming or has gone crazy.

She didn't know about Leila's situation, but before the girl on the road died, Luisa asked her how she killed her father, but she was also at a loss, saying that she had never had such a skill before.

Leila didn't look like she was pretending to be passively beaten when she was under siege, and Leila's character didn't seem like a person who would keep a low profile. So the reasonable explanation is that Leila awakened her ability in times of crisis.

The same is true for that girl, who also awakened her ability at a time of crisis.

So is this a coincidence?

Every day, every hour, and every second in the world, more than one young woman may encounter a life-threatening crisis, but have they all awakened their abilities?Obviously impossible.

It happened that when Luisa was present, when they had skin-to-skin contact with them, they awakened their abilities for the first time. If it was a coincidence, it would be too coincidental.

And her bizarre collapse at the same moment is even less likely to be a coincidence.

Apart from eating and drinking, Luisa lay in bed all day, thinking about this problem over and over again. She only hated that there were no computers and Internet in the primitive tribe, otherwise she would pay all the price to search online.

In fact, even if she searches the Internet, it's useless. Her ability is too special. There is no similar ability in the information held by any extraordinary organization.

In a sense, her ability is simply against the sky.

On the second day, the chief appeared in her hut again, and she could already sit up with her own strength, but her whole body was still in pain.

"You didn't sleep well last night." The chief was not surprised to see her tired face.

Luisa thought of the chief's last words yesterday, which were to remind her to sleep well at night and not to think about it, as if she had foreseen that she would suffer from insomnia last night... This can be explained reluctantly, after all, she has been in a coma for a long time and has slept too much.

She had a lot of questions to ask the chief, but the chief seemed to read her mind and said, "As you can see, most members of this tribe have different magical abilities."

Louisa's guess was confirmed, but she was still too shocked to speak. She fixed her eyes on the chief, and could read the meaning of her eyes even if she didn't have mind-reading skills—do you also have... such an ability?
The chief nodded and said frankly: "My ability is to foresee the actions you and others will choose."

Luisa has seen at least four or five kinds of magical abilities, but she still finds it unbelievable to foresee the future. Could it be that the chief even knows which foot she will take when she gets out of bed?

"No, it's not what you think." The chief smiled, "But I can foresee that you will stay and become the great priest of the tribe, leading the tribe to the peak of glory."

This is so ridiculous, Luisa didn't believe a word, the most important stage of her life was being influenced by modern Western civilization at school, how could she be willing to stay in this primitive tribe that doesn't shit and be some kind of great priest?

This so-called chief might just be a paranoid living in his own world.

She turned and got out of bed, determined to leave this strange tribe even if the chief didn't tell her which direction to go to the nearest city.

The chief suddenly took her arm and offered a leaf.

"Turn over and have a look."

Suspiciously, Luisa turned over the leaf, and saw two words written in charcoal on the back of the leaf - left foot.

She lowered her head and saw that her left foot had just touched the ground and her right foot was still hanging in the air.

"If you say it in advance, it won't work." The chief smiled. "Are you willing to believe my words now? Or do you want to see more evidence? For example... your ability?"

Yes, it really can't be said in advance, otherwise if the chief said she would get out of bed with the left foot, she might deliberately step with the right foot.

To be honest, after the initial shock, Luisa is still not convinced, because the chief can prepare two leaves in advance, one with "left foot" and the other with "right foot", which one to take depends on the situation, anyway She also doesn't have a third foot, so it still can't be ruled out that this is some kind of hoax.

But how did the chief know what she was thinking?How did she know that the thought of joking flashed through her mind and prepared the written leaves in advance?

"My ability?"

More importantly, these four words attracted her firmly like a magnet, making her unable to move.

"Do you know what my abilities are?"

"No, I don't know." The chief shook his head, "But I know what will happen in the future. Remember what I said just now, do most members of the tribe have abilities? Those few members who do not have the ability to awaken are just prepared for you. Yes—in the incense, I've seen you hold the hands of girls from the tribe, and when you let go, they've never been the same."

The Chief stretched out his hands and gently took Louisa's hands in their cups, as if they were holding some kind of unrivaled treasure.

"Use your 'hands of God'."
