Zhou Tong, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Old Zhou, that's really unfair of you. How can you even laugh about that?"
Zhou Tong shrugged unkindly: "Sorry, we've trained for this before, unless we can't help it, hahaha."
Then Zhou Tong gently patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder: "Brother, lizard blood must be very precious. Perhaps you should have the chance to try it again."
Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. The word "lizard blood" made him feel nauseous, and his mouth felt sticky and smelly.
"Stop talking, or I'm really going to throw up."
Lu Yuan made a vomiting motion, and then the old priest walked up to Lu Yuan and said something to him.
"The old chief said that in order to celebrate your becoming the deputy chief and successor of the tribe, they are going to prepare a welcoming ceremony for you."
After saying that, Fang Yuan winked at Lu Yuan, which made Lu Yuan feel betrayed.
"No way, how about this, Lao Zhou, you be the successor? I still have so many things to do in the dimensional space, I really don't have time to waste here. How about you be the successor?"
Fang Yuan covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "Mr. Lu, this deputy chief was someone they had decided on a long time ago. They had the idea of having you stay here, but it seems you didn't agree back then."
Now that they have this opportunity, they certainly won't change their choice. Besides, all the girls in the tribe are smitten with you. You absolutely mustn't dance with them lightly, or you might end up marrying one of them!
Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. He turned to look at the girls jumping and laughing at him. Their faces were painted with all sorts of paint, which made them look somewhat terrifying.
Although they were smiling, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, as if there was something sinister about their laughter.
"Are you kidding me? You're about to become a father! By the way, is there anything else I need to be careful about? Tell me everything now, otherwise if I make a mistake in this tribe, I'm doomed! I don't want to marry a woman here, especially one who's a cavewoman!"
Zhou Tong and Fang Yuan couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs for a long time, which made Lu Yuan very angry.
"Old Zhou, Fang Yuan, that's enough! What time is it and you're still laughing? Hurry up and think of a way to help me get through this crisis and see if we can avoid being baptized by the deputy chief!"
Fang Yuan shook her head with a wry smile: "Mr. Lu, I'm afraid it's not possible!"
As Fang Yuan spoke, she adjusted her camera, circled around the area to record the entire scene, and then began to dub her voice with a microphone.
After a while, the dancing in the crowd stopped, and Lu Yuan became a little nervous.
Suddenly, the burly chieftain raised his scepter and shouted loudly at the sky.
In an instant, the crowd nearby rushed over and hoisted Lu Yuan up.
Caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, Lu Yuan panicked and shouted loudly at Fang Yuan.
"What's next? What are they planning to do?"
Fang Yuan, holding a camera, explained while filming, "Mr. Lu, don't worry, this is just part of their welcoming ceremony. The fact that they can lift you up shows that you're already in a very high position! Yes, smile, I'm filming you!"
Lu Yuanshi could only give a slight peace sign and a wry smile at the camera, feeling utterly helpless.
The crowd carried Lu Yuan toward the distance, while the old priest and the chief walked at the front. They stopped in front of a room.
Before even getting close to the room, Lu Yuan could feel a warm sensation emanating from it, and the temperature rose the closer he got.
Then the chief beckoned to one of the members beside him, who immediately nodded, ran into the room, and pushed open the door. Inside, there was a huge brazier filled with glowing red charcoal. He and another member then carried the brazier over with tools.
With a "whoosh," the two of them worked together to pour the charcoal from the brazier onto the ground, then found a wooden stick and spread the charcoal evenly on the ground.
"What kind of welcoming ceremony is this?"
Upon seeing this, Zhou Tong's smile vanished.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan, standing to the side, wore a serious expression.
"Damn it, I didn't expect them to still have such a traditional ceremony. This is too dangerous. Let me see if I can talk to the chief and change the welcoming ceremony!"
Zhou Tong was a little stunned, then quickly asked, "What do you mean, Reporter Fang? Explain yourself!"
As Fang Yuan squeezed into the crowd, she said, "If I'm not mistaken, this welcoming ceremony will require the deputy chief to roll naked on this charcoal."
Only those who reach the very end are officially considered members of the tribe. This project is far too dangerous; a slight misstep could result in severe burns! They must be stopped immediately!
Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Zhou Tong was also stunned. He quickly helped Fang Yuan push through the crowd in front of her. When they got closer, Lu Yuan still didn't feel anything.
He thought it was just a ritual, perhaps these people's desire to dance had rekindled, and they wanted to dance in front of these hot coals as a form of welcome.
