When the number of steamed buns expanded to sixteen, Luo Binhan had to hand them to Joel Farman and asked her to nip this natural disaster in the bud, leaving only a small ball in Popa's hand.
It looked at the white mass and said with certainty: "Wanbozi's bug."
The mass begins to expand. Popa reluctantly pinched it a little smaller, but could not stop it from growing wildly. Joel Farman patted her head and said, "We still have hope of finding her."
Popa finally let go and let her stuff the last remaining dollop into her mouth. Then they looked together at the savages sitting by the river to rest. After a brief silence, Marin coughed dryly first.
"Steamed bun fungus cannot be used as a long-term staple food." He said cautiously, "These savages are so strong, they can't do it just by eating vegetarian food and berries, and besides, we just saw it... I don't want to It’s too pessimistic to say things, but we’d better be mentally prepared.”
He didn't say that conjecture directly, but no one didn't understand what he meant.
"Wan Bozi is an alchemist," Joel Farman objected. "It's impossible for her to be caught by them."
"That makes sense." Marin immediately agreed.
The atmosphere was slightly more relaxed. In view of the obvious communication difficulties between the two parties, everyone decided to follow the savages back to their place of residence and then inquire in detail how they obtained these steamed bun fungi. During the journey, Joel Farman kept comforting Popa, telling it that Wan Bozi might be on this planet, hiding among the savages, or he might have accidentally left some steamed bun fungi in the wilderness.
Poppa quickly became happy. It no longer played with the gorgeous feather hat, but climbed onto Luo Binhan's shoulder, constantly monitoring the savages, as if it was afraid that they would suddenly disappear from the world.
Luo Binhan patted its head and glanced at Joel Farman again. He knew that neither Marin nor Joel Farman had finished their words: If Wan Bozi was really safe, there would be no reason for her not to return to the Wild Zone, but to stay in such a planet inhabited by cannibals for a long time. As an alchemist and the owner of a steamed bun fungus, she undoubtedly understands the danger of this creature, and it is completely unreasonable to lose it on the road.
So what kind of situation caused the savages to get these fungi? If Wanbo Zizi is healthy, awake and well-equipped, the savages obviously cannot harm a Yunzhong City alchemist, but what if she was unconscious, seriously injured, or completely lost her memory? Moreover, the dwarf guest named Asabam also obtained her incubation box. Maybe she was killed by the dwarf guest first, and then her body was discovered by the savages...
Luo Binhan didn't dare to think about it further. He forced his thoughts to go in a more optimistic direction: these savages did not try to eat them, and even almost shared their "delicious food" with them.
This may be due to Momolo's obvious inhuman status. But how could they be so calm and indifferent when such a majestic giant appeared in front of them? Is that caused by some special religious concept? Or have they seen creatures of the same size more than once? If they had adopted a similar attitude towards all alien visitors, perhaps Wanbozi would have been spared and not become a meal.
These thoughts troubled him and made him walk absent-mindedly. He even stepped on a dead bird that had been rotting for a long time and was infested with maggots. Marin quickly pulled him away and spat on the bird corpse.
"This is not a good sign in my hometown." Marin said nervously, "You'd better not go to crowded places."
Since Marin's hometown has become forever history, Luo Binhan doesn't know whether those superstitious customs are still worth believing. However, there weren't many crowded places for him to gather here, unless he planned to join the cannibal group's barbecue party.
They arrived at the lake without incident and watched the savages drag out the canoe from the cover of the woods. The boat was hollowed out of thick wood, painted with red and green paint, and then covered with feathers and leaves. It looked even more refined than their crudely made raft.
The old savage sharpening the knife made a few gestures to his fellow tribesmen next to him, and then two savages ran over and danced in front of Luo Binhan and the others. The pronunciation of their language is extremely simple and requires sign language to express the complete meaning. Fortunately, Momolo can understand them through some kind of spiritual communication.
"Mr. Priest wants to invite us to go back together by boat." He translated with some confusion.
Luo Binhan also felt a little confused. He saw with his own eyes that these cannibals captured modern people from another world and prepared to kill and eat the victims without any joke. But now they seemed to have become warm and polite, not only did they not mind that their barbecues would be forcibly beaten. He even invited the dissatisfied people to take a boat together - Luo Binhan originally thought that this matter would end in a violent conflict anyway.
"They want to trick us into the ship and then launch a sneak attack?" Marin guessed, "Or do they only like to eat the intellectual side of civilization?"
The former has no hope of success, while the latter is currently difficult to verify. In the end, they got on the savages' boats separately and floated with them to the center of the lake.
For safety reasons, Luo Binhan, Momolo and Marin took a boat together. Luo Binhan and Momoluo went one behind the other, sandwiching Marin, who was last in combat effectiveness. This arrangement forced Luo Binhan to face the savages paddling in front of him.
The other person looks very young. If you take into account the harsh living environment in the wild, he is probably only sixteen or seventeen years old. This made Luo Binhan inexplicably think of his younger brother Luo Jiaotian. However, Luo Jiaotian had tender skin and tender flesh, and he also had a little mysophobia because he imitated Zhou Yu. He was absolutely different from a savage.
The young savage stared at him boldly and grinned without any scruples, showing his dazzlingly white teeth. Those teeth were incredibly white, which made Luo Binhan suspect that the other party brushed his teeth more than three times a day.
These white teeth must have eaten people, he naturally thought of this fact. The savages are so proficient in traveling through the star layer, it is definitely not their first time to go to another world for a tooth ceremony.
They flew into the sky with stone tools and saw a more advanced and civilized world, but the only thing they thought about was hunting for meat, which made Luo Binhan somewhat mixed. But how could those modern people not notice it? If there are so many people missing for no reason, they should have noticed that there is some kind of weird cannibal in the mountains and forests. Is it possible that no one cares about a missing person in modern society? Even the family members are indifferent?
The savage sitting opposite him suddenly started gesticulating like um um ah ah ah ah . He pointed to the sky, and then pointed to the iron box in Luo Binhan's hand. Luo Binhan didn't know what he meant, but he saw the desire in his eyes.
"You want this?" he said, lifting the iron box.
The savage couldn't understand his words either, so Momoluo used the call of light to convey Luo Binhan's meaning. So the young savage hammered his chest hard.
Luo Binhan didn't see any problem. This box is very strong, but it is not as handy as a stone ax or stone gun as a murder weapon. Even though he struggled with the opponent's row of teeth that had chewed human flesh, he still found it difficult to kill a living person who was about the same age as his brother. In the end, he handed the iron box to the other party and watched the other party fill it with a box full of lake water.
"You might as well serve some fish." He couldn't help but say, "That way there's no need to eat people."
Momolo also translated this sentence, but the young savage still looked at him with an innocent face.
The canoe floated to the center of the lake, and the savages seemed to be waiting for something. They lay on the boat and sang and slept, or caught bugs in each other's hair and ate them. Luo Binhan watched the young savage scooping water from the iron box and playing with it. Perhaps because this savage reminded him of Luo Jiaotian, he found that he quickly became familiar with his appearance and was able to distinguish him from other dark-faced fellows. So he decided to call the savage "Brother Little Box".
He finished the name and then realized that this might not be a very smart decision. If Wan Bozi was killed by this cannibal tribe, Joel Farman and Poppa would certainly have reason to take some revenge. At that time, he had to watch a named life disappear with his own eyes instead of an unknown savage being killed.
The savages waited in the lake until evening. When the surrounding sun began to glow red, the waves on the lake also burned faintly.
The setting sun in the lake was bright blue and white in the ripples, and was as cold as a full moon. Then the pale hollow spread and expanded, swallowing up several wooden boats on the lake.
