Chapter 729: Second Kingdom Exploration, Blue Scorpion and Negotiation

"Haha, God bless you! Chief Shuihua, when we return from this trip, we brought you a 'big gift'!"

When six kingdom warriors, carrying a three-meter-long giant crocodile, arrived at Chief Anani's wooden house, Chief Anani was lowering his head, holding a bone dagger, and carefully handling the dead blue scorpion in his hand. He carefully opened the blue carapace on both sides of the blue scorpion, squeezed out a few drops of blue venom, and put it into a small wooden tube. Next, the ferocious blue tail hook was treated in the same way.

On the Cuban Snake Island, blue scorpions are probably the most terrifying poison. Its venom, as small as a drop on half a fingernail, can easily kill someone. This blue-light venom can be smeared on blow darts or arrowheads, becoming the most precious and powerful weapon of Taíno hunters, and can even threaten warriors wearing bronze armor. It's just that blue scorpions are very dangerous. Generally speaking, only the most skilled veteran hunters would dare to catch and handle them.

In later generations, this highly toxic blue scorpion venom will appear in the global medical community in another unexpected way, and its value will be a hundred times higher! The Cuban blue scorpion peptide extracted from the venom of the blue scorpion will become an important drug for relieving cancer symptoms, especially in terms of pain relief. The effect is very significant. In fact, the local Taino tribe will also mix diluted blue scorpion venom with a certain proportion of alcohol as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic in emergencies.

"Ah? Praise the gods and ancestors! Tomato Priest, your harvest is really good. You actually caught such a ferocious giant crocodile! It is difficult for tribal hunters to catch such a beast. Well, look at the bloom on your face Smile, you must have finally found the sacred mountain predicted by the tribe? "

A sincere smile appeared on Chief Anani's face, as gentle as a "splash of water". In the Taíno language, Anani means "water flower." This is a beautiful name, but it is not as distinguished and superior as the names of the divine chiefs in the Mexican Plateau and the Mayan tribes.

Because, in Taino tribal villages, many tribal chiefs are elected by tribal elders. They are not hereditary to the family, and there is no bloodline. Chief Anani was an outstanding tribal hunter when he was young and often brought game to the village. Only after he was thirty years old did he officially become the leader upon the recommendation of the tribal meeting.

"Yes! After a full ten-month voyage, we finally traveled thousands of miles from the Mexican plateau in the far west to come here, and found the prophesied sacred mountain! Praise the Lord God! All this is for His glory. worth it!"

"Ah? You have been sailing on the sea for ten months? Just for the gods and to find the sacred mountain?"

Chief Shuihua blinked his eyes and felt a little amazed when he saw the Tomato Priest's lack of pretense of piety. The furthest distance he had ever traveled in his life was the coastal part of Baracoa, four hundred miles to the east. And many of the Taino villagers in the tribe have never left their villages for hundreds of miles in their lives.

"Well. Chief Shuihua, the glory of the Lord God is beyond your imagination! He is above the gods and leads all the ministries in the world. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles, no matter how big the hurricane waves are, they can't stop His loyal warriors! .And our fleet is just a small vanguard. Behind us, thousands of warriors are about to cross the sea."

Priest Tomat looked into Chief Splash's eyes with a serious and majestic expression. His voice was low, as if he was hinting at something.

"Chief Shuihua, the Lord God is above all else! As long as you have devout faith and join your tribe, you can obtain the Lord God's blessing and gain the power of the Lord God. Please consider it carefully and don't miss this rare honor!" "

"Well"

Hearing this, Chief Splash scratched his hair with a wry smile on his face. The priest of the Longship Tribe came to talk to him again about the chief god of the tribe. The Taíno tribes believe in animism and would not mind worshiping a distant "war god" at all. But he insists on saying that this is the supreme "Lord God". It seems that he has not seen the powerful power of the "Lord God".

"Haha! The Lord God bless you! Chief Shui Hua, this prey is a gift from the Lord God to you, bring it with our hands!"

Seeing Chief Shuihua's expression, Priest Tomat didn't say much. With a wave of his hand, he shouted instructions to the few accompanying kingdom warriors.

"Come! Carry this captured giant crocodile to the chief's wooden house and put it away!"

"ah?"

Chief Splash opened his mouth, wanting to tell Tomato Priest that there was no need to carry such a big crocodile into the wooden house because it took up too much space. Moreover, keeping the crocodile outside is also convenient for skinning and cooking.

However, before he could say anything, six fierce warriors wearing leather armor expressionlessly carried the giant crocodile into the wooden house and spread it out in front of the chief's straw bed. The body of the giant crocodile was twitching slightly unconsciously, and there was a sharp arrow stuck in its head that had penetrated two inches.

"Okay, okay! The Longship tribe is really enthusiastic."

Chief Splash shook his head helplessly, not noticing the crocodile's condition. He pulled Priest Tomat, sat down enthusiastically on the straw mat in the wooden house, and poured some slightly sweet cassava juice. Then, he raised a sincere smile and spoke gently.

"Priest Tomato, besides giving gifts, do you have anything else to do here today? If the food on your ship is not enough, you can come to the village to get it. There are still a lot of cassava in the village, but they need to be dug out in advance and soaked in water. .”

"Well, you all go down!"

Priest Tomat sat cross-legged and waved his hand again. The six kingdom warriors left in silence with a solemn look on their faces, and no one even said a word. Seeing this scene, Chief Shuihua's eyelids jumped. Priest Tomat smiled and looked at Chief Shuihua.

"The Lord God witnesses everything! Respected Chief Shuihua, I came here this time, in addition to giving gifts, there are some very important matters that I want to discuss with you seriously!"

Hearing this, Chief Shuihua's expression also became serious. He straightened up and sat upright at the table, with dozens of Zemi god tablets behind him. Around these god tablets, there are gorgeous ribbon snails and pure white lake gems, shining and colorful, as if there is divinity flowing.

"Well, the gods and ancestors have witnessed it! Priest Tomat, my friend, please speak!"

"Okay! Chief Shuihua, I won't beat around the bush in front of the gods."

Priest Tomat paused, looked into Chief Shuihua's clear eyes, and declared in a deep voice.

"We have found the predicted sacred mountain, and according to the instructions of the tribal sage before leaving, we will stay, stay here, and will never leave again!"
