Chapter 458: Tribal Shaman



What does waving your hands mean? I was confused for a moment.

"She said that she knew which medicines could detoxify the devil fly, but she didn't know how to prepare them. Only the high priest knew how to prepare them. The devil flower is extremely difficult to control. If the wrong amount is used, it will only make the toxicity spread more seriously and may even cause ulcers all over the body. If the amount is not controlled well, it may turn into a pool of pus and blood. So, she said that the detoxification can only be found by the high priest. At present, the high priest has been imprisoned in the Wutu tribe's mountain village. We can only find her to prepare the detoxification water." The woman said a sentence, and Yunwen translated it.

"So now we can only find the so-called high priest to prepare the antidote, right?" I asked.

Yunwen nodded.

"Okay, now that Song Bailu and Sanfu are missing, I'm guessing it's related to the Wutu tribe. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack to look for them around now. We might as well go to the Wutu tribe's village first to check out the truth, and do a process of elimination. By the way, we can look for the high priest. After finding him, let him tell us the secret recipe. That will be all we need. It will also save Song Bailu the time she spends trying to mix the recipe, and we won't have to make a choice after she mixes it." I said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. By the way, there were two people who went up with you. Where was the other man?" Yunwen asked.

I sighed and told Yunwen about the situation at that time, feeling extremely regretful. Yunwen frowned after hearing it. I thought she would blame me, but she just patted my shoulder and said, "You don't want to. Besides, it's all my fault that I asked you to come back earlier and didn't tell you to be careful. This is also my fault."

Perhaps because I was sighing, the Kunke woman began to mutter again, and Yunwen was listening to her. After the Kunke woman said a few words, she couldn't help crying again, and I probably guessed that she was accusing me, and could only look at her with apology. It was indeed my fault for being too self-righteous, which led to the death of her partner.

However, Yunwen's reaction after hearing this was to frown, and she also clenched her fists, as she often does when she is nervous.

"What did she say?" I asked again when I saw her unusual look.

"She said that her husband was bitten to death by a pet that the high priest of the Wutu tribe let loose in the valley. She also told me what happened. She said that you didn't want to listen to them at the time and insisted on doing it. They thought you understood and had a way to deal with it, but after entering, they found out that you were also at a loss. Her husband thought you were a hero who saved the Kunke tribe, so he planned to die for you and used his body to retain that thing. After you left, he held it tightly to buy time for you." Yunwen translated.

I thought of that Kunk man. When I was leaving the valley, I saw his tragic death and couldn't help slapping my head. This was all caused by my negligence. After that, Yunwen immediately grabbed my hand. No matter what, she always didn't like me to hurt myself. I looked sad and said, "I killed that big brother."

"If our situation improves one day, we'll take good care of them and make up for our mistakes, okay?" Yunwen said.

I nodded, Yunwen came over, hugged me in her arms, patted my back gently, and comforted me.

At this moment, I suddenly stood up and thought carefully about what Yunwen said. I couldn't help but sweat profusely and said, "So, that big centipede is the pet of the high priest? No wonder it smells like medicine!"

If a monster, like the severely enlarged crocodile or those skinless monkeys that devoured people and bones, left a deep impression on me and made me feel the darkness and fear of this island, then the fact that a person can easily raise a monster has made me feel the collapse of my inner confidence.

This island world is already in chaos, but some people's abilities are actually better than others!

Using medicine to raise a centipede with a thousand feet tens of meters long, is this something a human would do? Should I look for this high priest or not? I was confused and puzzled. He has the ability to save people, but at the same time he also has terrible means of destruction. How do I know if he will be friendly to me? But why is such a person who defies heaven alive and well in this world imprisoned in a dungeon? What happened in the middle?

I also remember one thing. The Wutu tribe was going to make Song Bailu the next high priest. In this case, wouldn't there be two high priests at the same time? What was the trick?

I am increasingly confused about what kind of tribe this Wutu is. They eat humans, are good at smelting iron, have a cave built during the Ming Dynasty specifically for imprisoning and raising people, and know how to drink the poison of demon flies to make themselves have iron skin and bones. What kind of people are they?

"No matter what, no matter what, no matter what, we have to go to the mountain village. No matter what the puzzle is, I think we can find the answer there. Let's go." I said.

Yunwen saw that I was anxious. Although she didn't know why, she understood a little and nodded.

Then we asked all the Kunks to wait for us here. After hearing us take good care of these herbs that were obtained with great difficulty at the cost of a life, they retreated into the cave, pressed the switch inside, and saw that the door was closed tightly, so as to prevent the man-eating monkeys from appearing and threatening them. Yunwen and I prepared to set off for the other side of the mountain village.

As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war, but we were obviously not moving fast. After all, I was really not feeling well. After swinging the Golden Que Sword once, my body was exhausted. Otherwise, I would have tried to fight with that giant centipede. Why didn't the Kunk man die so tragically? It was only because we were not strong enough. Therefore, Yunwen and I could only move forward step by step. Compared with the turtle, this speed was perhaps only due to our little confidence.

Seeing me like this, Yunwen asked me to wait for her while she went to find Sanfu or something like that. How could I let her do that? Although I was indeed the one who was delaying the pace, I would never let her act alone. After all, her ability to survive was not that good.

What's even more terrible now is that after a night, it's almost sundown, plus we've been busy since midnight, and we're both very hungry. If we go this time, we'll be taking a huge risk, and we might die. Now we're hungry and tired, and we don't know if we can still move in this situation.

After finally climbing up the Devil's Claw Mountain, I was already exhausted. Yunwen helped me sit under a tree. We both were so hungry that we didn't know when this hungry and tired day would end.

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who held back this time, but I was really a little tired, and I didn't know if it would delay anything. After all, Bailu and Sanfu might have been caught, and their lives or deaths were unknown," I said.

"Everything must be done within one's ability. If you are really unable to do so, I should go. Anyway, we are just going to survey and come back soon. I will take you back to the cave and you can stay with the Kunk people." Yunwen said.

I was just about to reiterate my point when I saw a pheasant walking towards us curiously. Its body was brown and had many spots. Its neck was peacock blue and its tail was raised in a single bundle. Instead of being afraid of us, it was very curious about us. I was hungry now and its arrival made me drool again.

Could it be that God saw that I was hungry and gave it to me for free?

I slowly picked up the stones on the ground. Although I was thinking in my mind, since this creature lived in this strange Devil's Claw Mountain, would there be any danger? But on the other hand, I thought that I needed to replenish my energy urgently. Why should I let go of the food that was delivered to my door for free? While it wasn't paying attention, I had secretly accumulated enough strength, and with a bang, I smashed it on the head.

Yunwen shouted, "No!"

However, it had already fallen down, and I thought it would fall down normally and die, but I never expected that this blow, instead of killing it, made it jump up violently. It jumped and ran around, screaming, but no blood came from its head. Although I felt surprised, I thought that since I had already done it, why not hit it again and end its life.

But just as I was about to hit it on the head again, the pheasant suddenly grew larger, its flapping wings fully stretched out, and its body shape changed in a morbid way, until when I could see it clearly again, it was almost half the height of the tree!

"Oh my god..." I couldn't help but break down.

I knew there wouldn’t be any ordinary creatures on this mountain!

It pecked at me with its huge beak, picked me up, and then threw me down heavily. Yunwen hurriedly tried to persuade it with the language of all things, but I didn't know if it could save me!

I can only say that if you don’t know the boss and try to show off by force, there will definitely be no good results!
