After a while, the expressions on the faces of the chief and the other primitive people returned to normal.
Where should we go next?
Fang Yuan translated Lu Yuan's words to the chief. The chief looked around at the situation, then whispered something to the people of the tribe beside him. The crowd immediately dispersed and began searching in all directions.
After a while, the primitive people who had gone out for a walk returned and reported the information to the chief.
Lu Yuan was getting anxious because he saw that they were moving too slowly, as he didn't know whether he was in South America or North America.
If they were in North America, they would be in the United States right now. It would take them several thousand kilometers to travel from the United States to South America. At their current pace, it would take them at least half a month to reach the Amazon rainforest.
Time is running out for them. It's already the end of December, and the Lantern Festival is just two months away. Every year, the Lantern Festival is the time when disaster strikes.
Therefore, Lu Yuan was very anxious, so he waved to Zhou Tong, who immediately came over.
"Old Zhou, our current speed is too slow. We need to find a way to increase it!"
Zhou Tong nodded and turned to look at the chief and the others beside him.
"But these people are too slow, and they have to find their way while walking, so we can't increase our speed at all!"
"Here's what we'll do: have the vanguard team drive a few vehicles with a few cavemen to the target location first. Once they arrive, they'll start looking for a way. After we catch up with the main force, we can set off immediately!"
Zhou Tong nodded: "Okay, I'll go make the arrangements now. You can talk to the chief and the others!"
So Lu Yuan went up to the chief and quietly told him his idea. The chief had no objections after listening. He waved to the team members next to him, said a few words, and then led his men away with Zhou Tong's team.
The vanguard team set off again, while the main force rested. Ten minutes later, the convoy moved forward once more.
The vanguard team was much faster than them. They didn't need to carry a lot of supplies, and their vehicles were all high-performance off-road vehicles, which allowed them to travel much faster in this complex road environment.
The convoy stopped again after about half an hour, and now they were waiting for a message from the vanguard team.
Everyone took out food and cooked it on the spot. With the dimensional space, the people in the tribe no longer had to eat that smelly lizard meat.
Dinner was served, and the ancient Indians patted their bellies contentedly. They sat together in small groups and chatted. Lu Yuan had originally planned to give them some clothes, but these people were used to wearing animal skins and did not accept Lu Yuan's clothes.
The clouds in the distant sky were still very thick, and the moon seemed to have not appeared for a long time. Lu Yuan could not tell whether the moon was slowly approaching them.
Everyone sat together chatting. Occasionally, a few cavewoman girls seemed to want to talk to Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan wasn't in the mood for that. He just smiled slightly and went back to the car to rest.
He didn't know how long he had been lying there when suddenly he heard footsteps outside. Then Zhou Tong knocked on the car door. Lu Yuan turned his head and saw that it was Zhou Tong, so he opened the car door.
"What's wrong, Lao Zhou?"
"The forward team hasn't sent any messages yet. When do we set off? It's been two hours already!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan quickly sat up straight: "What? It's been two hours and there's still no message?"
"Yes, don't you find it strange? Even if they encountered some danger, they would definitely notify us immediately, but they haven't sent any messages yet. I suspect that something might have gone wrong!"
Upon hearing Zhou Tong's words, Lu Yuan's heart sank, and he quickly got out of the car.
"What about the walkie-talkie? Ask them again, see where they are now!"
So Zhou Tong quickly took out his walkie-talkie and shouted into it a few times, but there was no response from the other end. At this moment, a look of tension flashed in the eyes of both Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong.
"Could it be that we've encountered a lizard monster?"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "It's very likely that we've encountered a lizard monster. Here's what you do: take a few cars and go there immediately to see what's going on. If we have indeed encountered a lizard monster, do not engage it. Notify us immediately, and I will take people there right away!"
Zhou Tong nodded cleanly, then waved his hand and shouted loudly to the people chatting in the distance: "Team One, Team Two, follow me now!"
Upon hearing Zhou Tong's shout, the members of Team One and Team Two were taken aback at first, then quickly got up and packed their things. The members of the other teams also showed expressions of surprise. They turned their heads to look in Lu Yuan's direction, as if they saw something unusual on Lu Yuan's face.
The high priest seemed to have also noticed the problem, so he came to Lu Yuan's side, leaning on his cane.
Fang Yuan translated the high priest's words.
"The high priest just said, 'Did you encounter a lizard monster?'"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "It's not clear yet. The vanguard team we sent hasn't returned yet. I'm worried something might have happened, so I sent Lao Zhou over to check on the situation. Don't worry, keep everyone calm!"
