Chapter 245 Small Conflict
Lin An had known for a long time that there was something wrong with the Ao Gao Lu.
Because the moment the hyena man poured out the palm wine, the system marked the data on this mysterious item, and then the panel followed the hyena man all the time, like a fully automatic tracker.
With the green data, the hyena man diluted the palm wine and distributed it to everyone with ill intentions, thinking that no one would notice his abnormality.
Little did he know that Lin An was watching his performance quietly.
When he was done, Lin An called the bald man of the hunting team and the woman of the gathering team to hand over the Ao Gao Lu to the captives of the Tiger Fish Tribe.
They then told Lin An that someone had placed this kind of wine near the armory of the Tiger Fish Tribe. Because the rainforest lacked entertainment, people were crazy about alcohol, and this hunting team secretly drank the Ao Gao Lu without the chief's knowledge.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, they became puppets of the hyena man and attacked the spotted lion tribe uncontrollably.
The hyena man is only at the level of a strange story. The mysterious art has a prerequisite for effectiveness, and the control of the ointment is one-time. Once it is interrupted or abandoned, a new "poisoning" must be repeated.
His initial docile performance was only to paralyze Lin An, as if he was a little snake who knew how to disguise himself, hiding in the dark, waiting for the prey to relax its vigilance.
But when he pretended to work with the spotted lions and actually took the opportunity to run away, Lin An had already controlled the [little man in the bottle] to stand on his shoulder.
The alchemical item is pure "Comos" energy, which the hyena man at the level of a strange story cannot see, and at most feels that there is something strange about the shoulder.
When the hyena man was first subdued, Lin An wanted to make him a temporary thug. Now that he has seen through the cunning and stubborn nature of this rebellious teenager, Lin An has a new arrangement.
Without disturbing most of the celebrating members of the spotted lion tribe, he sank his consciousness into the little man in the bottle, confirmed the location of the hyena man, and followed him with a hunting team.
…………
As night fell, the August rainforest was still hot.
The hyena man pricked up his ears, carefully distinguished the rustling in the woods, and licked his lips.
He opened his palm with spotted hair and black keratin, and in the middle of the canine pad, there were two tightly closed eyeballs.
His eyelids trembled slightly, and his muscles kept moving, as if parasitic, connecting his blood vessels and nervous system, making his whole body hot and itchy.
Whenever he provoked a war between tribes, his father wandering in the rainforest would appear, and the two eyeballs growing in his palms would stop itching.
The hyena man didn't know what they were, but his premonition told him that as long as he continued to cultivate the two eyeballs, he could get unimaginable big tiles.
At that time, I can avenge my father and my tribe and rebuild the wolf-dog tribe... the hyena man thought.
Thinking of this, the figure of the [Forest Ranger] appeared in his mind again, and he felt a burst of fear and hatred.
He would never be caught again!
Leaving behind the spotted lion tribe, the hyena man shuttled through the humid and sultry jungle with ease. About half an hour later, the outline of a tribe loomed in the distance.
He looked up and saw the smoke from the cooking blending into the water vapor, like a hazy landscape painting.
Most people fell asleep, and only a few guards were yawning and drowsy beside the campfire that was about to go out.
The chimpanzee tribe, a medium-sized tribe of more than 500 people.
Their chief knows "gorilla language" and is good at driving nearby primates to collect plants and fruits with the tribe. He also keeps some animals in captivity and survives by feeding, collecting and hunting.
The tribe and the spotted lion tribe usually have no grudges, but they have trade relations with the tiger fish tribe. Recently, in order to cater to the latter, they have robbed the gathering team of the spotted lion tribe once or twice.
Now that the ancestor spirit has appeared in the spotted lion tribe, it is normal to take the opportunity to avenge the "grudge" of the past.
This is a good opportunity for the two of you to fight!
A trace of boredom flashed across the hyena man's bright red eyes. Just like when he started the war before, he let the puppets ambush behind the huge fern.
"Awoo--!"
When the time was right, he roared through the mountains and forests, and dozens of puppets as swift as wild wolves and as strong as tigers rushed to the tribe like a tide.
"There are enemies!"
The night watchman immediately became alert and beat the war drum at hand. The muffled sound of "dong dong dong" spread throughout the night, waking up the sleeping tribesmen.
They hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed out of the hut.
But the war puppets were originally members of the hunting team of the tiger fish tribe. They were all strong and powerful, and they were blessed by the mysterious power of the hyena man. The chimpanzee tribe was no match for them.
Dealing with the puppets rushing in from all directions, the chimpanzee tribe members' scalps were numb.
"Monster, this is a terrible monster hybridized from wolves and humans!"
"I have never seen this animal! They do not belong to the world of mature life, but the dead spirits of the spiritual world! Could it be the work of the ancestors of the Tiger Fish Tribe?"
"We have always maintained friendly relations with them! We will not be attacked by them!"
"Who let the monster escape from the underworld and attack us? The tribes of other ancestors are far away from here!"
"I don't know-ah!!!"
The screams broke through the sky, and more and more screams and roars followed.
The hyena man listened attentively. The chaos, blood and death brought by the war were like a primitive symphony, more lively and more pleasant than the birdsong in the morning.
The chaotic music once swept the wolf-dog tribe and took away his relatives and friends. From that day on, the hyena man secretly swore that from now on, he would make everyone feel the same as him.
As "they" say, thinking about how to live brings only pain.
Only endless war can make people's blood boil and keep the vitality and passion of life forever!
Their world had already fallen apart during the war of division between Hutu and Tutsi more than a hundred years ago!
His life is already rotten anyway, why not let everyone rot with him!
As he watched in a dark and rebellious manner, the war in front of him reached its climax. The chimpanzee tribe members were breathing heavily and retreating steadily.
"Brush it!"
The bow and arrow penetrated one of the puppet's eyes, causing it to wail and take a few steps back.
Before the archer could relax, the puppet, which was blind in one eye, quickly regained its strength and pounced again.
The archer didn't react quickly and a piece of flesh was torn off from his arm.
This kind of scene is played out everywhere in the chimpanzee tribe. The hyena puppets bite and attack with their sharp fangs, and the low growls of "Woo" are endless.
Whenever the two sides of the battle separated, there was always a puppet with skin tissue and blood stained at the corner of its mouth.
The injured tribesmen continued to be unable to sustain the high-intensity battle, but the hyena puppet was tireless and once again launched a new round of killings under control.
Under this situation, there are fewer and fewer chimpanzees who are still able to resist. The puppets that were still at a disadvantage in the beginning have become more and more arrogant. From time to time, two or three puppets will besiege a person.
The mothers hugged their crying children and looked at the tragic situation in front of them with fear. A woman who looked like a great elder stood upright in front of several people, holding a long staff and mumbling to herself.
"Nzembi A Mpungu! Protect us from this disaster! Bless our spirits!"
Almost done. The hyena people secretly thought that they must save 70% of their strength to fight with the spotted lion tribe in the future.
He couldn't control so many puppets for a long time. He didn't have any rest or food for a day, and he was a little overwhelmed. If he hadn't been holding his breath, he would have fainted from exhaustion.
Just as the hyena man slowly pulled away from the mystery of controlling the puppet and prepared to retreat alone, strange noises joined this symphony of blood and killing.
There were footsteps, familiar shouts, and a "wind sound" that terrified him.
【Forester】!
How does the spotted lion ancestral spirit know his location? !
The next moment, things that shocked the hyena people happened one after another.
When he completely pulled away the energy, the puppet that revealed its true identity was clearly a prisoner of the Tiger Fish Tribe, not a member of the Spotted Lion Tribe.
what happened!
He clearly handed over the Ao Gao Gao Lu to the spotted lion hunting team!
The hyena man's narrowed pupils reflected the men who should have drank the ointment. They were unscathed, swinging around in the forest holding on to the vines, approaching the messy chimpanzee tribe.
One of the young men with black hair and eyes was particularly eye-catching. He was floating in the air, one hand raised to his chest as if holding something, which made the hyena man shiver.
This morning, Lin An approached him like this, and then used some invisible gravity to press him hard to the ground!
escape!
Although the hyena man immediately turned his head and ran away, there was still a voice chasing him immediately.
"You little prick! Stop!"
The hyena man turned around suddenly and realized that the person chasing him was not Lin An, but the honest and honest bald leader of the hunting team that he had seen in Spotted Lion during the day.
If I remember correctly, [Forest Ranger] blessed him...
A bad premonition came to mind, and the hyena man was shocked to find that the bald head was floating in the air like Lin An, and his hair suddenly stood on end.
In his panic, he couldn't see that Lin An used the air flow technique to hold up the bald head, allowing him to temporarily "slide" between the branches. He thought that the bald head had received the power of the ancestral spirit through blessing.
Thinking of the possible torture after being captured by the spotted lion, the hyena man was so scared that he simply got down on all fours and ran around in the mud like a real animal.
He doesn't want to pay the price!
The bald man rode the wind and felt the power of his ancestral spirit. He felt that Lin An was unfathomable and secretly vowed in his heart that he must catch the hyena man this time.
This is the first time the ancestor spirit has given him a mission!
Never let Lin An down!
What happened was counterproductive. Just as the bald man grabbed the hyena man with all his strength, a white one-horned shadow flashed in front of the bald man and disappeared.
"Um?"
The bald head was stunned for a moment, and the air current surrounding him disappeared immediately. It seemed that the energy spread out like a stream when the eyes of this one-horned animal were stared at.
The strange white shadow disappeared in an instant, like a dream, and in front of him was the hot and humid rain forest. The bald man who returned to the ground had to rely on his own strength to chase and escape with the hyena man.
But how could two legs outrun four legs? In the end, the bald head watched helplessly as the hyena's back disappeared.
"Nyama! Shit!"
The bald man who followed him cursed loudly. He had already thought about how to force the hyena man to come to Lin An to claim credit, but now he fell short. In addition to being angry, he deeply resented his own powerlessness.
If only he understood the blessings of the ancestral spirits and truly controlled those big tiles...
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and some kind of energy that was incompatible with reality spread outwards from the bald head.
The ripples lasted for less than a few seconds before they all dissipated and turned into fluttering debris in the air, invisible to the naked eye.
The bald man was stunned for a moment, his hands touching the unusual skin. The strangest thing was that his back was itching abnormally, as if he had grown a few extra bones.
It's as if they belong to him naturally, and he can control them as he wishes with just a slight movement of his mind.
Although the bald man wanted to test this power, he did not forget that Lin An was still waiting for his report. He sighed, kicked the ferns around him to vent his anger, and walked back to the chimpanzee tribe in a huff.
When he came back, the riot caused by the hyena people had ended.
The hunting team was dragging the unconscious tiger fish captive, who was controlled by the hyena people twice a day and was really exhausted.
Even without being tied up with ropes, these weak captives had no strength to escape, and each of them was like a salted fish and allowed to be dealt with.
Next to them was a group of chimpanzees crawling on the ground, surrounding his ancestor in three circles inside and outside, worshiping and calling out "Great God of Kalenga, we beg you to use Makazi again."
Makazi is another Bantu dialect name for "Dawa", which more accurately refers to the magical power related to the resurrection of the dead.
They had just seen with their own eyes that Lin An had created a violent air current, blowing the two fighting parties into the sky, and then letting them fall freely, falling into the mud, and they were immediately shocked.
Shock dispelled fear, and the chaos gradually subsided.
Not only that, the careful chief elder of the chimpanzee tribe discovered that since Lin An appeared, those "monsters" had turned back into normal humans and fell to the ground unconscious.
This is definitely not a method that ordinary people can use!
Ancestor spirit!
He is undoubtedly an ancestor spirit!
So, the chief elder of the chimpanzee tribe had an idea, led a group of women to rush forward, and knelt down without saying a word to pray to Lin An, hoping that he could save the tribesmen who were too seriously injured in the battle.
There are no medicines in the rainforest, and doctors are like a strange and unrealistic myth.
The most common thing in Bantu is barefoot doctors, who are called "herbalists" by the locals, and they firmly believe that he has extraordinary powers, can communicate with gods, and perform healing.
"Ancestors, please have mercy on your descendants! Ancestors...ah...ancestors..."
Seeing a group of people doing crazy things like Egyptian paintings, the bald man took a breath of cold air, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.
The chimpanzee tribe wants to snatch the ancestor from them!
In a hurry, he subconsciously used the "extra bones" on his waist, and the energy turned into black wings, allowing him to fall from the sky like a bird of prey and block Lin An.
"This is the ancestor of the spotted lion!" The bald man shouted, "Go find your own ancestors! Back off! Back off! Back off!"
