That is, they only want women, and healthy women at that.
Newborn male infants and unhealthy female infants were simply abandoned in the forest to be fed to wild animals, left to fend for themselves.
The female infants who survived, once they learned to walk, had to begin learning how to survive, hunt, and fight with others.
This also leads to a frequent death of girls during training...
The chances of them surviving and growing up healthy are less than 50%...
But Salla was undoubtedly lucky to have survived such harsh conditions.
A year ago, he went hunting with several elders from his tribe.
While tracking a short-horned deer, they fell into an enemy ambush.
This enemy, of course, is the men from other tribes.
This tribe is called the Shuar, and it is one of the most fierce and numerous tribes in the entire Amazon.
Their people are scattered throughout the Amazon, and some have even settled on the fringes of modern society.
There are no laws or police to restrain them here. Women, food, and land are all resources in the eyes of the men in the tribe.
As long as their fists are big enough, they can plunder and enjoy whatever they want.
Salla and her group of five were all captured. During that year, they suffered endless torture, being beaten and verbally abused, and forced to sleep with several men every day.
Two months ago, each of the five women gave birth to a son in the Shuer ethnic group.
But how could a woman from the Baija tribe, raised in a matriarchal society, tolerate living like a prostitute?
So Salla pretended to be very obedient, and was eventually given to a man in the tribe by the priest of the Shura tribe.
This man was not a primitive man who ate raw meat and drank blood; he lived on the outskirts of the Amazon rainforest and worked as a translator.
They are the translators, also known as tour guides, who are responsible for those outsiders who want to explore the Amazon.
Over the course of nearly a year, Salla naturally learned a lot of English through constant exposure to the language.
But she was, after all, a primitive person, where men were strong and women were weak, and she could not accept or forgive the Shuar people for everything they had done to her.
Finally, five days ago, one night, Salla found an opportunity and killed her husband while he was asleep.
They gathered together the few remaining members of their tribe and fled the territory of the Shu'a tribe.
But they never expected that they were so far away from the Baija tribe's territory.
Even though they had all grown up in the jungle, they couldn't escape the risks of getting lost and encountering poisonous creatures. After all, this was the heart of the Amazon.
Of the five people, two fell off a cliff and their fates are unknown. One of them was her older sister.
Both of her teachers, who had taught her hunting, died of illness; they were, in a sense, her closest relatives.
But now, only Salra is left.
However, she has now been bitten by a venomous snake, and it's unknown how long she can live.
She had intended to find some herbs to treat the snake venom, but suddenly she discovered Tang Weiwei.
She thought they were pursuers from the Shuar tribe, so she decided to ambush them in the grass.
Before they die, they want to take someone down with them. Women of the Baijia tribe will not be taken prisoner a second time.
After hearing Salra's story, everyone looked on with sympathy.
That's how uncivilized savages are. Without the constraints of law, morality, and the people's police, even a female warrior as strong as the Baija tribe can only become a resource for men.
There was no way around it; the innate gender advantage was too obvious... not to mention that the other party was a barbarian who had been influenced by modern culture.
At this moment, Salla's eyes were filled with tears. She longed to return to the Baija tribe and to see her tribesmen whom she had been separated from for so long.
This is similar to the story of female college students who were trafficked to mountain villages and then escaped back to safety.
But she just sniffed hard, holding back her tears, saying that women of the Baijia tribe cannot shed tears.
Ye Feng greatly admired this dark-skinned, thin woman who was a head shorter than him.
According to her, the five of them escaped by walking at least 30 kilometers, and they were even wearing straw sandals.
With only five days to spare, they had to evade pursuers, fill their stomachs, and avoid the various risks in the jungle.
Ye Feng naturally felt this deeply; for a woman, this achievement was already dazzling enough.
At this moment, Liu Sisi and Qi Xiaoyan were already crying. They held Salla's arm and helped her tidy up her messy hair.
It has to be said that women have a strong ability to empathize. Even though they are not of the same race or speak the same language, they quickly felt like best friends.
No wonder girls these days usually have several best friends; making friends is that easy.
"Hey, hey, that's enough. Have you two been trafficked before? Why are you so agitated?"
Although Salla's story is quite inspiring and touching, Ye Feng is not heartless.
He just really hated the sad atmosphere in the team; it was bad luck and a blow to their will to survive.
"Why are you two crying so much when the other person isn't even crying? Anyone who didn't know better would think the person was dead."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he uttered these words, Salla's vision went black, and he collapsed into Qi Xiaoyan's arms.
"Eh..."
Qi Xiaoyan shook her twice and found that Salla was unresponsive, unsure whether she was dead or alive.
"Brother Feng, is antivenom the only cure for snake venom? Do you have any other methods?"
Ye Feng did not reply immediately, but checked Salra's heartbeat and breathing.
"He's not dead yet, he's just unconscious. Pengfei, come and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Pengfei stepped forward to take his pulse, and after a few seconds, he revealed a surprised and puzzled expression.
"Brother Feng, this woman from the Baijia tribe is quite fierce. It took her so long to show symptoms after being bitten by a poisonous snake."
The pulse was slightly irregular, but there were no obvious abnormalities, and the organs were functioning normally for the time being.
Was it because she took good self-rescue measures... or was it due to her physical condition?
"Stop talking nonsense."
Ye Feng kicked him and asked impatiently:
"Get to the point, is there any cure?"
"Well... I can't really say."
Zhan Pengfei looked embarrassed. He was indeed a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, but how to treat snake venom, especially from an unknown snake, was a bit of a knowledge gap for him.
All I can say is that it depends on whether the Moonflower will work.
But I reckon... there isn't enough antivenom to create the corresponding serum proteins to resist snake venom. Tsk tsk... I'm afraid it's unlikely.
Ye Feng sighed; he actually knew this too.
But since we've known each other for a while, I can only do my best.
After another ten minutes or so, when the medicine was ready, the group blew on it until it was no longer too hot, and then poured some of it onto Salla's wound.
After giving her some medicine made from the roots of moonflower, the rescue was considered complete.
As for whether the other person can come back to life, that's up to fate.
After all, Ye Feng and she were just strangers who met by chance. The fact that he was willing to sacrifice his travel time to help her was already quite humane.
