Chapter 24 The Cannibal Tribe

In a clearing in the jungle, the dozen or so captured prisoners sat on the ground with limp legs and pale faces. They all knew that what awaited them would be a terrible thing.

A human thigh was being roasted on the burning bonfire at the side, and a torso with its limbs cut off and its internal organs hung on the tree. This poor corpse swayed gently like catkins.

A few people sitting around the fire cut off the roasted parts with stone knives, threw them in their mouths and chewed.

Jianya and Huo, who were hiding nearby, were stunned by the horrific scene in front of them. Who are these people? How can people eat their own kind? The two of them have never heard of such a horrible thing since they grew up.

"Jian Ya, let's go, these people are too scary." Huo tried hard to calm himself down, but the fear in his heart still made his voice tremble a little.

Although Jianya is a little scared, but as the best warrior in the tribe, Jianya is in a much stronger state than Huo.

"Go, go back and tell Lang that these people are too dangerous to be near the tribe." Jian Ya finished in a low voice, bowed his body and quietly backed away.

After the two retreated to a safe distance, they ran towards the tribe.

It took nearly an hour and a half to go back, and it took only half an hour to go back. After seeing the tribal wall, the two were relieved, sat down on the ground and panted heavily.

When Wang Lang saw the two of them running back in a panic, his heart sank, guessing that something bad might have happened.

Wang Lang asked someone to bring them two bowls of water, Jian Ya and Huo took a few sips of water, breathed steadily and said, "Lang, something is wrong."

"What's going on, speak slowly." Wang Lang asked solemnly.

Jian Ya told what happened just now, and Wang Lang's face was also very ugly after hearing it.

"How many are they?"

Jian Ya recalled it carefully, and said: "There are many people who were tied up, and I only saw five of those who cannibalized."

"Are there only five? What kind of weapons are they using?" Wang Lang asked.

"Well, there are indeed only five people, but I think they should be warriors from that tribe. Since they appear here, it means that their tribe is very close to here. Their weapons are stone axes and spears." Jian Ya said At the end, his eyes were full of worry, the fate of the tribe was in Wang Lang's hands, and he didn't know how Wang Lang would deal with this matter.

Wang Lang also didn't know what to do at the moment. Although there were only five people on the other side, there were only seven men on his side. Women were completely useless in this situation.

For those who are about to be eaten, although Wang Lang wants to feel sympathy for their suffering, he must have the strength to be a savior. The life of every member of the tribe is precious now. Wang Lang does not want the heart of the Virgin to flood The lives of the tribe members were a joke.

That unknown tribe is obviously extremely barbaric, belonging to the barbarians among the barbarians. Wang Lang doesn't want to have any intersection with such a tribe at all, but now these people are like a sharp knife hanging over the head of his own tribe. It will bring disaster to itself.

Wang Lang pondered for a while and said: "Let's not act rashly for the time being, Jian Ya, you and Huo, bring some food and follow them, try not to be discovered by them as much as possible, don't do unnecessary things, first of all, ensure your own safety, I want to know How is the strength of their tribe? After you come back, we will discuss what to do next. Whether you find their tribe or not, remember that you must come back before noon tomorrow."

Jianya and Huo nodded, took a rest, took two of the best bows from the tribe and some dried meat, and carried the animal-skin quiver with more than a dozen arrows on their backs. On the road, before leaving, Jianya told the people about the harvest of the trap, and told the location of the prey, and the two gradually drifted away under the watchful eyes of the people.

It was originally something worth celebrating that the trap could be harvested so quickly, but this sudden accident seemed to put a heavy stone on everyone's heart.

Although the people of the Wanglang tribe are also out-and-out barbarians, they still fear and hate cannibalism very much. In their traditional concept, people can kill each other, but for the dead, they should be treated as such. Buried in the ground so that the soul of the deceased can enter the afterlife.

Moreover, this jungle is rich in food. Even if you are unlucky and do not catch prey, you can still gather wild fruits and plant roots to fill your stomach. Obviously, these people eat people not because of lack of food, but because of instinct or because they don’t know. For a certain purpose, this is very scary, a depressive and dull atmosphere hangs over the tribe.

"Lang, we'll be fine!" Fanxing looked at Wang Lang worriedly.

As the leader, Wang Lang knew that he could not show any weakness at this time, any lack of self-confidence would add more panic to the tribe.

Wang Lang pretended to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry, you will be fine with me here." But he couldn't help asking himself: "It should be fine!"

Jian Ya and Huo cheered up their spirits along the way, and when they approached the place where the previous people stayed, they both stepped lightly, trying not to let themselves make a sound.

The two lurked behind the big tree and observed carefully for a while, but they didn't see any signs of activity before they were sure that those people had left.

The two looked at each other a little bit, nodded to each other, the fire stayed where it was, and Jian Ya cautiously walked towards the still smoking fire.

There were some human bones scattered on the ground. On the grass not far away, a broken skeleton that had lost its limbs and was bitten was lying there miserably. It can be seen from the bite marks that some animal must have passed by and found this easy-to-get food.

Jian Ya looked around carefully to determine the direction in which those people left, and waved at Huo to signal that he could come out.

There were a large number of those people, and the traces left behind were very obvious. The two followed these traces and continued to track forward.

Until night fell, Jian Ya and his wife finally found them beside a river.

The two were lurking in the bushes, looking at the pile of flames and shadowy figures in front of them, their muscles were a little stiff due to tension.

The two watched carefully in the dark, not daring to make a sound.
