Ressie realized he had said the wrong thing, while Henry glared at him, signaling him to take a stand.
He then realized that he was just the lowest-ranking member of the team.
He quickly gave an embarrassed smile and apologized repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, Captain Okuga, but I was injured and it seems to be infected, so I was in a hurry."
Please forgive any offense caused; I am truly sorry.
Seeing his sincerity, Okuga didn't say much, but just snorted and nodded to Gnemon beside him.
"Let him see it, so he won't shout and yell here."
After saying that, without waiting for further instructions, everyone began to get busy.
They will spend the night here.
Okuga was quite rational in this regard. Since the enemy had already suffered so many casualties, they couldn't have gone far. There was no need for a hasty nighttime pursuit.
Haste makes waste; the Amazon night should be treated with respect.
However, none of them noticed that a pair of large, shiny black eyes had already been watching them from the vegetation a little over a hundred meters away.
Lia, holding binoculars, was lying in the grass, keeping a close watch.
A fire had been lit on the other side, and given her decent night vision, she could barely make out the figures around the fire.
To prevent her from being discovered, Ye Feng even wrapped her binoculars up, covering her entire body with vines, leaving only the two lenses visible.
Since leaving the group in the afternoon, he had been following Ye Feng and the others, keeping a close watch on their surroundings.
Until two hours ago, when Ye Feng and his group decided to dig a trap and stay put, he began to linger nearby to protect them.
Unexpectedly, she actually discovered Okuga's group.
"The lord is right, these damned Wendigos really do want to kill him."
Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that your divine power has greatly diminished, how could you possibly have such qualifications!
No, I have to go and inform the adults right away.
She gently shifted her body and slowly backed away...
For Liya, Ye Feng was the god of the Baijia tribe and their only hope for revival; nothing could happen to him.
But as soon as she stood up, she suddenly felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen, and a liquid slowly flowed out of her body.
"Ugh... this annoying period, why did it have to come at this time? Oh no! I'm going to kill Lord Ye Feng, what am I going to do!?"
Lia reached down to touch her lower body, and seeing the blood on her hand, her features contorted in pain. She clutched her head and shook it uncontrollably, feeling more terrified than if she had seen a demon.
His expression revealed impatience, disgust, and disdain... but above all, deep guilt.
The so-called menstrual period refers to menstruation.
This is a very common thing in the eyes of modern people; girls have it every month.
But in the eyes of their indigenous people, this is a very bad omen.
The Baija people are influenced by Islamic culture, and Islam considers women's menstruation to be unclean and ominous.
Women who are menstruating are generally not allowed to perform any sacrificial or worship activities, as it is believed that they will bring misfortune to others.
Therefore, they usually leave the tribe temporarily when they have something to do, so as not to bring danger to the tribe.
Now that something has happened, I definitely can't go see Lord Ye Feng.
Otherwise, if you spread bad luck, it will kill everyone.
But... these Wendigos are clearly after Lord Ye Feng. If I don't go and inform them, won't I be harming them?
"No! Salra, I'm sorry."
After thinking for a moment, Liya decided to go and inform them, but she couldn't meet with Ye Feng.
The only thing left is to pass on the misfortune to Salra…
The two groups' camps were not very far apart, about 900 meters apart.
During her run, poisonous insects would occasionally swarm around Lia.
Fortunately, Ye Feng had given her a bottle of insect repellent spray beforehand, and she was also wearing full protective gear. In addition, with her unique night vision ability, nothing unexpected happened.
After running for about ten minutes, it was almost completely dark in the forest, and he was still about 100 meters away from Ye Feng's camp.
She took a few deep breaths, then immediately made a hand seal with her hands, pursed her lips, and blew out a clear bird song.
"Coo coo coo! Coo coo coo!"
At this moment, Ye Feng and his group had just finished building the platform and were cooking dinner, looking exhausted.
It seems that digging traps today has taken a toll on them.
Upon hearing the bird's call, the others didn't pay much attention, except for Salra, who was still tending the fire, who was slightly startled and then looked at Ye Feng.
"My lord, it seems that Lia has sent a signal."
"Hmm?" Ye Feng frowned. It wasn't that he didn't believe her, but the sound was completely outside the range of the sounds he and Liya had agreed upon.
Could it be...? Something happened to Lia?
Thinking of this, his expression hardened, and he quickly asked:
"What's going on? Are you sure? What is Leah trying to say?"
Salla blinked awkwardly. Actually, she just felt the voice was somewhat familiar, but couldn't be sure.
He put down the firewood he was holding, went to the edge of the platform, and strained his ears to listen in that direction in the pitch-black night...
A moment later... the sound came again.
"Coo coo coo!"
Even Ye Feng recognized the voice as soon as it was heard.
Birds are not nocturnal animals and generally do not make such loud and continuous calls at night.
Salla immediately understood the purpose of the voice.
"My lord, Liya said she's there, but judging from her voice, she seems to be in a hurry and it's inconvenient for her to see us."
Many ethnic groups in the Amazon live in constant conflict and using animal sounds to communicate is a common practice.
Because the Baija tribe was constantly being hunted, they naturally had their own set of secret codes.
Perhaps due to a low level of cultural understanding and underdeveloped skills, one can only guess at the general meaning but cannot understand exactly what the other person is trying to express.
"Let's go! Let's go take a look!"
Ye Feng sensed something was amiss, so he quickly grabbed his weapon and told everyone to follow closely behind Salra as they went out.
But when they saw Liya completely unharmed and learned what had happened, everyone rolled their eyes.
Despite Ye Feng's repeated explanations to Liya that it was a physiological phenomenon, Liya still deliberately kept her distance from Ye Feng and the others, fearing that the misfortune might be contagious to them.
Even Salla, who had been in contact with her, kept her distance from Ye Feng.
Helpless, Ye Feng could only use the charlatan's excuse that gods are not afraid of misfortune and can dispel all evil.
Unexpectedly, the two of them were able to listen to such words and quickly believed them.
After showering Ye Feng with praise, she got straight to the point.
"My lord, there are eight Wendigos on the other side, and they also have four artifacts. Are you confident of victory?"
Lia gestured and spoke for a while, and after some translation, Ye Feng finally understood the opponent's specific strength.
He didn't rush to give his opinion, but instead asked again:
"Are you sure there are only 8? Have we seen any Wendigos who look and have the same skin color as us?"
