Lu Yuan searched through the crowd before finally finding Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan and Zhou Tong both showed a hint of panic on their faces, while Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback.
"What's going on? You two don't look too good."
Zhou Tong shouted impatiently to Lu Yuan, "Brother! This is dangerous! They're planning to make you roll around naked in this fire. Isn't that going to kill you?"
Reporter Fang is currently planning to speak with the chief; please, don't go there!
Hearing this, Lu Yuan felt a chill in his heart. He had originally thought these people just liked to dance, but he never expected their customs to be so brutal.
Rolling naked over such hot coals would likely kill an ordinary person. Although Lu Yuan's physique was much stronger than that of an average person, rolling over such hot coals would still likely result in second-degree burns, even if he survived.
Fang Yuan squeezed through the crowd and came to the chief. She quickly mumbled something in the language. Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, the chief immediately looked displeased.
The two then began to argue. The chief seemed unwilling to explain anything further to Fang Yuan, not even bothering to look at her, and simply turned and left.
Although Fang Yuan is quite pretty, in the eyes of these primitive people, Fang Yuan is the ugliest woman in the world, and they simply cannot stand her.
Fang Yuan was left standing there, her expression a mixture of helplessness and fear.
"How did it go? How did it go?"
As Lu Yuan watched the crowd approaching him, a hint of panic appeared on his face. He quickly shouted a question to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan waved her hand helplessly: "Mr. Lu, they said this is their most important custom, and even the chief must go through it. No one can be spared. It is an honor, and only those who pass can officially become their deputy chief!"
"Damn it, didn't you tell him I wasn't going to be the deputy chieftain anymore?"
"No, they've already chosen you and they won't give up. Let's think of a way to get rid of these charcoal burns!"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan's heart sank, while Zhou Tong's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Why don't we just kill them all? Then we can tie them up and I don't believe we can't find out what we need to know!"
Upon hearing Zhou Tong's words, Fang Yuan quickly stopped him: "Brother Zhou, please don't be impulsive. These primitive people definitely won't tell us their secrets. It's better to talk to them properly than to force them! If it really comes to a fight to the death, they would rather die than tell us these secrets!"
Zhou Tong immediately became anxious: "This won't work, that won't work? There's no other way. Are we just going to stand by and watch Lu Yuan get burned?"
At this moment, the old priest and the chieftain came to Lu Yuan. The old priest smiled slightly at Lu Yuan, then pointed to the charcoal and mumbled something under his breath.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan, who was filming nearby, explained as she went, her voice low and helpless.
"The old priest just said that he is inviting you to participate in this trial. If you pass the trial, you will officially become the deputy chief of their tribe. And if you pass this trial, he will tell you all the secrets!"
Seeing the burning charcoal, Lu Yuan felt waves of pain all over his body. He turned to look at Fang Yuan: "Is there any other good way? As long as they don't go into the fire, any other method will do. We can give them some food, supplies, or even tools, it won't be a problem!"
Fang Yuan shook her head helplessly: "I've already asked them, and they said it won't work. This is the only way to get them to officially recognize you!"
Everyone was staring at Lu Yuan, whose mind was in turmoil. Seeing the burning coals, Lu Yuan finally took off his clothes, leaving him only in his underwear. In the cold winter, Lu Yuan was shivering from the cold.
When the chief saw that Lu Yuan was only wearing a pair of underwear, he seemed a little dissatisfied. The women from the nearby tribes stared intently at Lu Yuan's genitals, which made Lu Yuan a little embarrassed.
"I'm already getting ready to go into the burning coals, can't I at least keep my underwear on?"
Fang Yuan finally managed to persuade the chief and the old priest after much effort.
The two nodded, and Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the cold around him was making Lu Yuan shiver uncontrollably, and he felt that he desperately needed a warm place.
At that moment, Zhou Tong somehow produced a bucket of water and poured it directly onto Lu Yuan.
With a "splash," Lu Yuan felt the water on his body freeze instantly.
Zhou Tong smiled slightly: "Brother, don't worry. After adding water, it will absorb the heat from the charcoal. As long as you roll it fast enough, you won't get burned. Hurry up!"
Zhou Tong had just remembered that he had previously seen some amazing stunt performances on videos, and after the secrets were revealed, he discovered that those people who rolled over hot coals would almost always pour water on themselves to get completely soaked.
The purpose of this is to allow the water on the skin to absorb the heat from the charcoal, preventing burns to the skin.
Upon hearing Zhou Tong's words, Lu Yuan also realized what was happening. He smiled slightly at Zhou Tong, but his lips twitched from the cold, making his smile look extremely ferocious.
