People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

After chatting for a while, Diamond left.

Janet, who had been waiting nearby, walked over, smiled, sat on Ding Ze's lap, and then kissed him.

"What's wrong?" Ding Ze asked with a smile.

“Nothing much, I just think this place is pretty nice, if you forget about the crocodiles and pythons from earlier in the day,” Janet said with a laugh.

Ding Ze smiled back, "Right? You can't enjoy this kind of treatment in the city."

The two chatted casually, and time passed by. Before they knew it, the night had deepened.

Ding Ze and Janet got up and returned to their cabin.

These ancient, or rather, backward, ships don't have high-end amenities like bathrooms... Fortunately, the Amazon River is a freshwater river, so there's no shortage of fresh water, it just needs to be boiled to sterilize it.

In short, forget about taking a proper bath; you can only use a towel to wet yourself and wipe yourself down a bit.

Ding Ze didn't care.

Janet was a little overwhelmed, after all, she had grown up in the city and lived a life of luxury.

Ding Ze had no choice but to help Janet wipe her body.

Done.

The two fought for a while, then lay down.

Of course, there are people keeping watch at night. Spending the night in this kind of primeval jungle without anyone keeping watch is almost tantamount to courting death.

Before we knew it, it was the middle of the night.

The once calm water surface was now silently rippled.

A giant python, over ten meters long and as thick as a water bucket, swam in the water and gradually approached Ding Ze and his fleet.

Not too far from the fleet, the giant python stopped, its enormous head surfacing as it looked at the group of people on watch on the ship. Its eyes were like thermal imaging cameras.

After watching quietly for a short while, the giant python swam away again, but did not approach the boat.

There is no other reason.

There were too many heat sources, and the python wasn't stupid; it didn't have a penchant for courting death.

The python decided to wait for lone prey.

The watchmen on the ships were chatting and joking around, and no one noticed the commotion in the water.

The night ended peacefully.

As dawn broke, the jungles on both sides of the river came alive again, with all sorts of animals chirping and calling out incessantly.

Ding Ze and Janet were woken up. Instead of sleeping in, they got up, tidied up, and then left the room to wash up.

It's about eight o'clock in the morning.

After breakfast, the fleet continued its voyage.

"Boss, there's a primitive tribe about ten miles ahead. They treat outsiders quite well, as long as they don't cause trouble. Would you like to go and take a look?" After sailing for a while, the captain said to Ding Ze.

Ding Ze smiled and said, "What's in it for you if you take us there?"

Upon hearing this, the boat captain panicked slightly, then, not daring to lie, said, "There are some advantages. When we sail here, we inevitably have to deal with those tribes."

“We take our guests there, and they barter with us. This way, the guests can live a better life, and they will promise not to cause us any trouble.”

“We can’t afford to offend those primitive tribes… But don’t worry, boss, they just want to trade with customers, they don’t want to kill or rob.”

Ding Ze laughed. "Murder and robbery are my profession. Some primitive people who want to take advantage of me are just dreaming. Okay, let's go take a look."

"Okay," the boat captain breathed a sigh of relief.

It's only about ten miles, it won't take much time.

soon.

The fleet gradually docked.

Ding Ze lit a cigarette, took out a walkie-talkie, and instructed each ship to leave half of its crew on standby. Then, he reached out to Janet, "Ms. Austin, please."

“Thank you, Mr. Ding,” Janet replied with a bright smile.

The group disembarked one by one and stepped onto land. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 377 The Three-Eyed Black Python in the Tribe

shore.

The captain of Ding Ze's boat often dealt with the local primitive tribes and knew some of their language. As soon as he set foot on land, he immediately started shouting in the local dialect.

A cry rang out.

In the blink of an eye.

Two small black figures appeared in Ding Ze's and the others' field of vision, their faces painted with primitive makeup, their bodies covered only with a piece of cloth around their waists, and each holding a spear-like weapon.

Before today, Ding Ze and his group had never seen people from a primitive tribe, so they naturally began to look at them with curiosity.

The boat captain didn't mince words; he smiled and mumbled a few words to the two young men.

soon.

One of the black boys turned and ran.

At this moment, the boat captain turned to Ding Ze and translated, "Boss, that young man has gone to inform the tribal elders. We need to wait here for a while."

Ding Ze grinned, finding it quite amusing.

What's interesting about it?

The reason was that he discovered he could basically understand the tribe's language... In his opinion, the tribe's language was about 80-90% similar to a certain niche language he knew.

So, of course, one should take advantage of such an opportunity to show off.

Ding Ze smiled and looked at the boat captain, "No need for a translator, I can understand."

Upon hearing this, the boat captain was immediately stunned and could hardly believe it.

The same applies to Diamond and Margaret, among others.

Even Janet, who knew that Ding Ze was fluent in multiple languages, was greatly surprised and found it hard to believe that Ding Ze could understand the language of such a primitive tribe.

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Okay, boss," the captain replied obediently after his initial surprise, realizing that Ding Ze was incredibly terrifying.

It didn't take too long.

The tribal elder, an old man with somewhat dry skin, led a group of primitive people and walked briskly to Ding Ze and the others.

The two sides began to talk.

Soon.

Ding Ze understood and realized that, strictly speaking, this tribe wasn't even a primitive tribe anymore; it was basically a tourist destination. The tribal elder said that they needed some things before they could welcome them to visit the tribe...

To put it simply, they have to buy tickets.

However, these tickets are not purchased with money, but with ordinary items from the outside world, such as food, clothing, and so on.

This is quite amusing.

Ding Ze didn't think anything of it and decisively ordered his men on the ship to bring some things over.

About ten minutes later.

The group of primitive people, who initially seemed unapproachable, changed their expressions incredibly quickly upon receiving the gifts. They immediately beamed with joy and became extremely enthusiastic.

"Welcome, welcome, distinguished guests, welcome to our tribe," the tribal elder said with a smile.

Ding Ze smiled brightly, nodded, and then whispered to Janet, "Was it fun?"

Janet no longer doubted that Ding Ze could understand, but she was still astonished, "How do you even understand their language?"

"Studying? I've been studying all along," Ding Ze blurted out, making things up as soon as he opened his mouth.

Janet rolled her eyes at Ding Ze. "When did you start studying? I didn't see you studying."

Ding Ze grinned mischievously, "I like to study secretly and then make a name for myself. See, you were surprised."

Janet: "....."

That makes a lot of sense. Janet was speechless for a moment, but she was genuinely happy and thought Ding Ze was really amazing.

The group followed a group of primitive people, almost like the archaeologists of the time, slowly into the first primitive tribe they encountered on their journey to the Amazon rainforest.

*******************

This tribe isn't large, but it's quite unique... at least that's how it is for people like Ding Ze who have lived in the modern world for many years.

As far as the eye can see, there are stone or wooden decorations everywhere, as well as rows of proper wooden houses of different sizes.

Most of these wooden houses are on the ground, with only a small portion in the trees... those should be called treehouses.

Those treehouses looked quite interesting, and Ding Ze took a few more glances at them as he walked.

The entire tribe, within sight, comprises about a hundred people, including men, women, and children.
