Most of the village is made up of stones and branches, mixed with some soil and grass.
There was no one patrolling or guarding the village in the middle of the night, and everyone was sleeping in their houses.
The fog was too thick and the team members had to tie themselves together to prevent themselves from getting separated, so they didn't gain much that night.
The flashlight couldn't fully shine, and they barely searched a small part of the village. The team left before dawn.
The indigenous people look slightly different from them. Their skin color is darker, so if they are seen, it would be impossible to get away with it.
During the day, the team would patrol around the village.
At a tree where there was no house, several people jumped onto the tree trunk and looked down at the layout of the village from above.
Wangxing took this opportunity to draw a map.
He has no time to draw these two days.
When they saw clearly what was in the village, everyone was stunned for a moment.
There is a roughly round stone in the middle of the village, half of which is exposed outside and half is buried in the soil.
The stone is black and about fifty meters in diameter. The village is also built around the stone.
Around the stone, there are stands of bare skeletons.
These skeletons were arranged at a distance from each other, as if in some kind of memorial ceremony, and one of them was even missing a corner.
The degree of oxidation of the skull varies from light yellow to gray-black.
"My goodness, could these all be people from your husband's team?" Gu Liu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling as he looked at the weird scene.
There seemed to be no less than thirty skeletons.
"No wonder we didn't see a single skeleton along the way." Qiu Jing said.
Dilong and Ji Renhui looked at the pale-faced Hu Lin without saying anything, while Wangxing continued to concentrate on making his map.
I don’t know if her husband is among these skeletons.
At this time, everyone in the team, except Wangxing, was thinking so.
Hu Lin also thought so.
She had seen the list of Zhou Huaijing's team, but many people had disappeared here before and after, and she hadn't seen a single skeleton along the way.
If Zhou Huaijing really was among these skeletons, she would not be able to recognize him.
At that time, she could only find a way to take all the bones out.
At noon, the team did not change location, but ate some dry food on the tree, and then continued to watch the actions of the natives in the village.
At noon on the same day, the natives of the village placed a piece of meat and a bowl of mutated blood-sucking ticks on the altar in front of the stone.
These people seemed to have high status in the village. They wore strange things and bird feathers on their heads, and their clothes were intact.
After a few people talked a lot in a gibberish, they started to "dance the shaman".
Behind them, there were a dozen people kneeling, some of them wearing combat uniforms, some only covering their lower parts.
They all wore a bird feather on their heads.
After the big dance, the leader of the natives cut his palm.
The blood flowed into the stone bowl, and then the people next to it crushed the ticks in the stone bowl and mixed them with the blood of the leading female native.
At the same time, the leading female native was muttering something, with her hands raised and her head looking up at the sky, as if she was praying for something to God.
After the chanting ended, the people kneeling behind came forward and knelt devoutly in front of the leading female native to receive a blessing ceremony.
They used tick blood to draw some patterns on their faces.
After receiving the blessing, the native stood up and shouted something, looking very excited.
After the blessing ceremony was completed, they built a fire and roasted the meat on the altar.
After the natives shared the food, they left a few pieces of meat and carried them into a house.
All the ceremonies ended here and the group dispersed.
"I have never seen the rituals of the indigenous tribes." Although Dilong did not understand, he was greatly shocked.
"I haven't seen it either." Ji Renhui followed.
Wangxing, who had finished drawing the map in the past few days, looked at the end and asked, "What's wrong?"
"They are like a group of psychopaths." Qiu Jing replied.
Wang Xing was puzzled, while Hu Lin had no expression on his face.
At this moment her mind was filled with dizziness.
"What did you see in that piece of meat?" Gu Liu asked the others, horror in his eyes.
"What?" Qiu Jing was puzzled.
"It's not an animal." Hu Lin's voice was extremely cold.
The fear in Gu Liu's eyes was almost materializing.
The other people also had expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces. They looked at the circle of skulls again and immediately had clear guesses in their minds.
"They were eaten." Qiu Jing muttered to himself.
At this time, there was a noise coming from below, and the team members immediately restrained their breath and looked down cautiously.
I saw a group of elephants walking on the ground several dozen meters away, with one or two natives sitting on the necks of each elephant.
There were also a few gorillas and wild boars following behind.
A few people looked at it and felt a chill in their hearts.
These natives really know how to tame animals.
It's against the will of heaven!
This is definitely the most difficult task they have ever received since their debut.
After they passed by, Hu Lin said, "Go to that room tonight and check the situation."
