The man on the shore remained silent for a while, standing motionless, before suddenly raising his head and shouting.

The shouts rang out.

Swish swish.

From the jungle on the left, one after another, men dressed identically appeared like ghosts, each wielding a variety of weapons, and came into view of Ding Ze and his group.

Ding Ze frowned slightly when he saw them. He couldn't quite put his finger on what was going on, but he felt that those cannibals were radiating evil from head to toe.

After a moment's thought, Ding Ze realized it might be due to preconceived notions, so he forcibly suppressed the feeling and then spoke loudly in the language he was familiar with, "Hello, we happened to find this girl a few days ago."

"Our captain said you understand this girl's language."

"So, we've come to bother you, hoping you can help us figure out what's going on with this girl."

"In return for your help, we can pay for some food and daily necessities."

According to the boat captain, this cannibalistic tribe has lived in the Amazon rainforest for many, many years. Although their own language is very obscure and difficult to understand, they have some understanding of the languages ​​of other tribes, after all, they have had to deal with them for so many years.

'Hopefully these guys can understand,' Ding Ze said, then offered a prayer. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 396 The Girl Was Actually a Saintess

shore.

The cannibals, who were almost blending into the jungle and whose expressions were unreadable, just silently watched Ding Ze and his group.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Just as Ding Ze was about to speak again, one of the taller black cannibals, who was at least 1.9 meters tall, suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

Ding Ze listened for two seconds, realized he could understand, and smiled.

The tall cannibal indicated that he accepted the deal and told them to move forward and pull over to the side of the road.

Could it be a trap?

Ding Ze wasn't sure either, but it wasn't a big problem.

There were only about twenty cannibals visible on the shore. That's all... not to mention their weapons, even just those five Gu worms would be enough to wipe out all of them.

So, it doesn't matter, it's no big deal.

Ding Ze grinned and, without hesitation, immediately relayed the order via walkie-talkie.

Upon receiving the order, the employees were somewhat nervous, but they still gritted their teeth and obediently followed it.

Soon, in the dim moonlight, the fleet slowly moved forward.

At the same time, a large portion of the cannibals on the shore disappeared silently, leaving only three cannibals, who moved quickly forward along the shore.

This was the first time Janet had ever seen cannibals in her life. Janet looked on with a serious expression, her eyes filled with both curiosity and fear.

There was no way around it; they were cannibals, and they really did eat people.

Time flies.

The three cannibals on the shore stopped in their tracks, and then, seemingly out of nowhere, produced three torches.

By the light of the torches, Ding Ze and the others could see some simple boats moored there. It seemed that it was a small dock where boats could dock.

A few minutes later, the fleet that Ding Ze and his group were on slowly docked at the shore.

Three cannibals stood on the shore, holding torches, still staring expressionlessly at Ding Ze and his group.

To be honest, such a scene in the middle of the night is quite eerie and also quite thrilling.

Ding Ze quietly mobilized five Gu worms, preparing them for battle. At the same time, he took two steps, walked to the railing, and greeted one of the tall cannibals with a smile.

The tall cannibal gave Ding Ze a cold look before speaking, replying that Ding Ze and his group should wait there, as the chieftain would arrive soon.

After listening, Ding Ze thought for a moment and politely asked if he could disembark and wait.

The towering cannibal refused with absolute certainty, saying, "Outsiders can only enter our tribe by becoming our food. Do you want to become our food?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Ze couldn't help but chuckle, feeling that this guy was quite to his liking. "Then there's no need for that. Let's just wait on the boat."

The tall cannibal fell silent.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Suddenly, streaks of fire appeared deep within the dark jungle.

The flames connected, looking like a writhing fire serpent.

Ding Ze was somewhat surprised when he saw this... The reason was simple: he had thought that this cannibalistic tribe wouldn't be very large, but unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of them.

Then, another question came to mind.

This cannibalistic tribe, hidden deep in the Amazon rainforest, can only intermarry within their own tribe.

In that case, after several generations, most of the people in the clan would probably be mentally disabled.

This is quite interesting, but also quite dangerous.

The reason is very simple.

People with intellectual disabilities cannot communicate.

Not long after, the fire serpent swam to the shore.

The flames illuminated the area, revealing the cannibals.

In the blink of an eye, an old man, slightly thin, with unusually long hair and beard, looking very capable, and with a ring of children's heads hanging around his neck, walked to the front of the cannibalistic group, leaning on a cane.

This little old man is clearly the clan chief.

Ding Ze's gaze fell on the old man, and he smiled politely, preparing to greet him.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the girl on the ship suddenly spoke up with a puzzled look on her face, "I think I know you."

The old man looked at the girl, his gaze gradually sharpening.

About half a minute passed.

Sudden.

The old man trembled, as if he had seen something unbelievable; his sharp eyes suddenly filled with disbelief.

The next second, the old man's mouth moved, and he spoke in a shocked tone, "You, you, you... Saintess?"

Hear this.

The girl's expression changed drastically.

Ding Ze was also startled and subconsciously turned his head to look at the girl not far away beside him.

Saint?

Did this girl come from this cannibal tribe? When did she come out?

The girl's expression was incredibly complicated. After a few seconds of silence, she asked the old man, "Am I your saintess?"

"You've forgotten?" the old man retorted, then, before the girl could answer, his gaze suddenly shifted to Ding Ze, "Where did you find her?"

In the dead of night, Ding Ze risked coming here just to find out the girl's identity. Upon hearing the question, he didn't mince words and gave a concise and clear answer, recounting what had happened and describing the situation underground, such as the eerie town and the extremely sinister tree.

After listening quietly, the old man immediately burst into a tirade of extremely offensive curses, and even swore to eat those guys up.

As Ding Ze listened, he gradually understood.

First of all, the girl was indeed the saintess of this cannibal tribe.

Secondly, that underground area was indeed the headquarters of the [Black Barrier] tribe. And that enormous tree was a tree of an evil god, possessing a very peculiar power that could extend lifespan, making people virtually immortal—that was one of its powers…

Finally, the people of the Black Barrier tribe believed that the Tree of Evil God definitely possessed other powers waiting to be explored... Therefore, hundreds of years ago, they heard that this cannibalistic tribe had produced a powerful saintess unlike any other before...

The people of the [Black Barrier] tribe launched a surprise attack on the cannibal tribe in the dead of night, almost wiping them out completely and abducting the holy maiden.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed...

The saintess has been trapped in the canopy of that big tree. The cannibal tribe only knows that there was such a story in the tribe's history, but they are not sure what the saintess looked like or what exactly happened.

Now, everything has changed.

puff.

Suddenly.

The old man knelt down on the ground.

As soon as the old man knelt down, the rest of the cannibals followed suit, all kneeling down in quick succession.

The old man mumbled something in English, something like, "I'm sorry, I disappointed the Holy Maiden, I suffered so much," and so on...

The girl listened and looked around, her calmness almost frightening.

After the old man finished speaking.

The girl finally spoke, "I want to visit your tribe."

The old man dared not disobey and immediately agreed respectfully.

Upon hearing this, the girl turned to Ding Ze and invited him, "Would you please come with me?" (End of Chapter)
