Chapter 247: The Grias Islands

The man carried the mangoes into the depths of the forest. There was no road here, and the direction could not be determined because the trees were too tall. However, the man was very familiar with this place. He seemed to identify the path and direction based on the trees. Every time he walked a certain distance, he would stop to look at the trees around him, and then choose a direction to move forward.

The trees ahead gradually became sparse, and they finally arrived at a very deserted place. Mangtao also saw the houses in the men's tribe, which were small wooden houses built off the ground with dozens of wooden stakes.

The heights of these wooden houses are not consistent. Some are less than ten meters above the ground, while some are built on tall trees, at least twenty meters high.

"Hey! Shu! Who did you bring?" A middle-aged woman walked out of a house at the edge of the tribe and shouted, "No outsiders are allowed in!"

"Yes, but they are good people." The man named Shu answered loudly. He turned slightly to reveal Mang Tao's face on his back.

Mang Tao looked at the middle-aged woman and smiled sweetly at the dark-skinned woman.

The woman's heart softened immediately. She turned her head to look in the direction of the tribe leader and softened her voice: "Yes, I know, it's not an enemy."

"Come to my place." The middle-aged woman waved to the tree and said, "I have food and water here. If you don't come in, the chief will be angry."

"Okay." After Shu answered, he also said to Mang Tao, "The chief is very fierce, so he doesn't want outsiders to come. We are here, and we have beds and food."

Mang Tao: "Okay."

Anyway, he was just here to get information, so he didn't have to go into the center of the tribe, nor did he necessarily need to meet the chief.

As long as he was at the edge of the tribe, he could also find out strange news and see whether the tribe really performed strange sacrifices.

The tool used to climb into the cabin is a long log with saw-toothed sides. The small steps are very narrow, just enough for your toes to step on. If you don't climb all year round, you will definitely fall down.

The man was very agile. He held the boy on his back with one hand and grabbed the top of the log with the other. He was more agile than a monkey and quickly reached the wooden house.

Tong looked up and looked at the greasy log stairs with disdain, and chose to climb up from the logs supporting the wooden house at the side.

As weird as he is, he is more agile than these people.

The middle-aged woman looked at Mangtao with a smile. She had a great liking for the young boy. She asked him to sit down and then went to get some fruit. However, when she turned around, she saw Tong jumping up by grabbing the edge of the wooden floor.

The fanged boy raised his head, and his eyes met the middle-aged woman's. The woman screamed, turned around, picked up the bow hanging on the wall, pulled out the arrow and pulled the bowstring to the full: "Go! Wolf!"

Tong made an impatient sound.

"He came with me." Mang Tao got off the man's back and stood in front of the middle-aged woman. "He won't hurt anyone on his own initiative."

The middle-aged woman's eyes widened. Although her mind told her not to believe it so easily, she still loosened her grip a little. She looked at Mango and asked, "Slave?"

Tong was furious: "I'm not a slave!"

"He is not a slave, he is a subordinate." Mang Tao said.

Middle-aged woman: “He’s a murderer.”

“But very brave.”

The woman hesitated and asked, "Very strong?"

The young boy nodded: "I need him to protect me."

"The tree can protect you." The woman raised the bow again and pointed it at Tong. "He is dangerous."

Tong bared his teeth at the woman, and his sharp nails began to move.

"Are you going to kill him?" Mang Tao looked at the woman pitifully. "I will be very sad if he dies."

Woman: ...

"It will be very sad and I will cry."

The woman slowly put down her bow and arrow: "Don't be sad, eat some fruit."

After saying that, the woman hung the bow and arrow back on the wall, but her eyes were still wary of Tong. She stepped back a few steps and shouted, and immediately a young man looked down from the roof: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Bring some fruit!" the woman shouted, and then called Mangtao to come and sit down. As for Tong, she completely ignored her.

Tong was too lazy to pay attention to this group of people. He didn't have any skills to charm people anyway, and he was probably here to act as a thug. So he found a corner to lie down and yawned lazily.

There are no lights in the cabin, and all light comes from the sun, which makes it dark everywhere except the terrace.

To keep warm at night, the cabin has no windows except for a terrace that can be covered with a straw curtain.

At the same time, the open air is also the entrance and exit.

The bed was a simple straw mat covered with a layer of cloth, the same rough material as trees and the simple cloth wrapped around women.

With a plop, the dark-skinned boy fell from the roof of the tree house, holding a small cloth bag in his hand. The boy opened the bag, and very fresh fruits with branches and leaves rolled out from it.

It is not yet spring in China, but in the Caribbean Islands, it is summer all year round.

Whenever you want to eat fruit, just pick it; there will always be some.

However, what shocked Mangtao was not the bag of fresh fruits, but the child in front of him, who was about the same age as Mangtao and was naked.

Although he was not wearing any clothes, the boy was wearing some accessories. There were colorful feathers tied with a straw rope on his head, two strings of wooden beads on his wrists, and a tooth of some animal hanging around his neck.

You have all the accessories, so why can't you wrap a little more cloth around your waist?

Judging from the appearance of the men and middle-aged women, this isn't some primitive tribe where people don't wear clothes.

Mang Tao lowered her head and didn't look at the boy.

But the boy seemed to like Mango Tao very much. He was startled when he saw someone with a different skin color from him, but after only looking at Mango Tao once, the boy's eyes lit up. He walked in front of Mango Tao, squatted down, and handed the largest fruit to Mango Tao: "It's delicious."

The boy was young, with strong muscles, and several shallow scars could be seen on his outstretched arms.

Seeing that Mang Tao didn't take it, the boy asked, "Don't want it? I'll find another one."

"No thanks." Mang Tao quickly took the fruit, "I like it very much."

The young man grinned, walked over to Mang Tao and sat down. He turned his head and stared at Mang Tao with great concentration.

With a "puff", Tong who was lying in the corner couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

The young boy then realized there was a stranger in the corner of the wooden house. He turned his head and became furious. He turned to take the bow and arrow, but was held down by his mother.

"His people." The middle-aged woman pointed at Mango and said.

The young man stood up and squatted down, squatted down and stood up again. It was obvious that he was very conflicted. In the end, he did not take action for Mang Tao's sake.

Tong has begun to get used to their different treatment.

What else can he do? Just lie down and ignore it as long as the other party doesn't really attack him.

If you do anything, you will all be sent to hell.

Who is afraid of whom?

The boy sat down next to Mang Tao again, staring at her while she ate fruit. Just as Mang Tao was thinking about how to bring up the weird topic, the boy asked, "Can you have children?"

“Cough cough cough…”

“Hahahahahaha—”

The one who was choked and coughed was Mangtao, and the one who was slapping the floor and laughing wildly was Tong.

"Let's be together and have children." The boy said seriously.

He is trying hard to express his ideas.

Mango gave him a good feeling, and he wanted to be with her forever. Just looking at him quietly would make him happy. The boy didn't understand so many things. He only knew that only two people who had children could be together forever, and no one else could.

The cabins are small, so those who grow up will move out. Those who have a good relationship can go picking and hunting together, but the only people who can live and eat together every day are those who have children together.

The way people in primitive tribes think is so simple and direct.

Only if you raise a child together will the other person stay.

If you don't have children, the relationship will eventually break up.

For example, the sister of a man found a child. After two years, she left the man because he didn't have any. When she left, she cursed him as a "useless thing".

The man was a good hunter. The boy didn't know why his sister's scolding of him was useless, but he knew it was probably related to the child.

The young man looked at Mang Tao sincerely. He really wanted to stay with this comfortable-looking person forever.

As for Mang Tao, he had only one thought in his mind: Actually, this weirdness doesn't have to be solved.

Anyway, S-level anomalies are not that easy to appear.

Just go back.

Maybe let the cocoon come.

What's the point of wearing a vest? Isn't it just to protect yourself from being shot at?

Ah, I want to go back.

Seeing that Mang Tao didn't respond, the boy leaned over and said, "You eat the food you found first."

In modern times, does this count as paying the salary card?

"It sounds good, Chief. Will you stay?" Tong said with a malicious smile while lying on his side, holding his chin with his hand. "I believe that with the Chief's charm, this tribe. No, the entire Griasian Islands, all the people of the right age, regardless of gender, the Chief can choose any one. It's the original version of choosing a concubine."

Mang Tao's hands were shaking as he held the fruit. He turned around and gave a cold smile: "I'll give you this benefit. Do you want it?"

"Forget it." Tong changed to a lying position, folded her hands on her abdomen, closed her eyes very quietly, "If it were me, there would only be one result, I would bury them all."

Because of his wild nature, the people in the primitive tribe are so sensitive that they treat him as a terrible enemy. Tong himself is not afraid of fighting. If the two sides fight, he will definitely kill all these indigenous people one by one.

Including weirdness.

"He is like you, unable to have children." The man stepped forward and said, "My daughter can."

Now Mangtao's eyes were dead. Let's go back. We can't stay in this place anymore.

"Host, calm down! This is a primitive tribe, not the feudal era. No one is forcing you to do anything. You can refuse!" The Savior System, which had noticed Mang Tao's thoughts, quickly interrupted, "Well... at least deal with the anomaly before leaving! Just now, this system detected that there is a small anomaly in the north of this tribe. Let's deal with it before we escape?"

Mang Tao just about raised his legs but sat back down again.

Okay, now we are here.

At least finish your work before leaving.

Otherwise all this would have been in vain.
