Prehistoric Notes

Chapter 197 Man-eating Tribe

In the depths of a jungle, they found another elephant. Everyone hid behind a big stone and quietly observed. In order to eat the young leaves, this guy did not hesitate to break the trunk with his thick and long nose. Just now, they saw several "masterpieces" of elephants along the way. After a good meal, it left with satisfaction.

Everyone instantly felt that the elephant was a little cruel and domineering. Although only rhinoceros and elephants were seen during the hike, everyone fell deeply in love with the barren grass, green trees, white clouds and blue sky here, which constitute the natural landscape of the Inca Plain in people's impression. In a place isolated from the world, the purity and ruggedness of nature makes people temporarily forget the troubles of the outside world.

A group of people came to the Inca Plain, the most remote village, Nuyami village at dusk. I have heard rumors for a long time that people in this village have the habit of cannibalism. Although they are not afraid of being attacked, the word "cannibalism" still makes people shudder.

When approaching the village, the surroundings seemed to be full of murder, and everyone was worried. Everyone saw several houses in the pass from afar, but when they got close, they were still silent, and several Nuyami people they had seen in the distance also disappeared. Several people felt that there were countless pairs of eyes around them, and perhaps countless sharp arrows were aimed at their heads.

Just as the group came to a flat ground, a sound of drums suddenly sounded, and then a shout came from all directions, followed by a group of top-body indigenous people rushing out around.

These people came aggressively, some waving sharp blades, and some pulling bows and arrows, forming a situation of encirclement. Several indigenous people rushed in front of them with skulls hanging around their waists. The group of top-bodied indigenous people rushed to them only one or two meters before they stopped.

Everyone saw the middle-aged man with a circle of skull hanging around his waist. Needless to say, this was the chief. The chief held a bright steel knife in one hand, stroked the skull at his waist in the other, glanced at Zhou Xirui standing in front of him with the corners of his eyes, and asked in mainland Chinese with an Inca accent, "Where did you come from?"

Zhou Xirui quickly greeted the chief and sent him a delicate dagger he carried. The chief looked at it and seemed to like it very much, and his expression calmed down. He asked them what they were doing here for?

When they learned that they had come to the Inca Empire to challenge the boxers, there was a burst of exclamation around. The whole village were very excited, and the boxers were very respected here.

The chief casually handed over the steel knife to the people behind him, and the gloomy and murderous spirit disappeared on his face. Zhou Xirui quickly handed the prepared gifts, tobacco leaves and knives to the chief, and several people accompanying him also handed flower handkerchiefs, fish hooks, small round mirrors and other small things to the surrounding Nuuyami people.

The chief turned around, raised his head, shouted at the sky to the mountains, and the Nuyami people around him also shouted. In this way, the situation immediately changed from tension to joy.

The chief waved to several people and motioned them to follow him in. Zhou Xirui and others quickly nodded and followed the chief to a hut in the village.

This is a small hut. The guest room is 15 feet square, covered with sand, and a small window is opened with bamboo on the roof. There is a rough cot, ** with wooden pillows, and wild cat skin and leopard skin hanging on the wall. The paper painted with the magic charm swung down from the roof, and there was a copper bell for driving snakes hanging in the corner of the room.

The room is filled with an unpleasant and disgusting rotten smell. Atso found the source of the smell, a pocket hanging on the wall. Curiosity drove him to take off the pocket and open it, making almost all the people faint.

It contains the remains of some human beings; the eyes, ears, toes, etc., the flesh and blood are blurred and unbearable. Obviously, the rest of the body has become the belly of the chief and his people. Seeing this, Zhou Xirui and others really believe that the Nuyami people do have the custom of eating people, and they are still eating people.

The chief smiled and told Zhou Xirui and his party an incredible secret: when the people fell ill and died of old age, the people did not bury the dead in the ground in order to let them stay forever, but were eaten by the people, so that the dead became part of their bodies, and left some bones to preserve them. As a permanent memorial.

Several people immediately felt a feeling of vomiting and surged up and down in their stomachs. Because the chief was in front of them, they gritted their teeth and endured, especially Tana and Xiaopei, who were very pale.

The "two dogs" were even more frightened next to Acuo, and the Nuyami people who surrounded the scene outside cast greedy eyes on it. Dimo also felt the danger. When he saw the air-dried monkey skin hanging everywhere, he sat on Zhou Xirui's neck and refused to come down.
