Chapter 175 Amazon Tribe
Lan Wu looked at the little girl in surprise. This little girl who still refused to tell the origin of her name suddenly said this, which really confused me.
How could such a little girl with no magic power help her?
In the middle of confusion, Lan Wu suddenly saw Olvera becoming vigilant, blocking in front of him, and protecting the two of them behind him. He didn't frown slightly, and soon heard a few slight movements from the jungle.
What?
Lan Wu was taken aback. If those soul hunters come after him, he will have to flee further away. The hope of rescuing a living woman from that tribe is probably even slimmer.
Whoosh whoosh, several black shadows quickly jumped out of the jungle, forming a triangle and surrounding the three of them. If you look closely, you can see that there are several Amazons. The brown ponytails swaying in the wind behind their heads and the bows and arrows in their hands confirmed their identities.
"Who are you?" The leading Amazon stared at the three of them alertly, his eyes sweeping back and forth across their faces. Finally, it was settled on Granwu's face. Among the three, Lan Wu's appearance was the most peculiar, comparable to that of the wizards in the Soul Hunter tribe.
"Lan Wu, the benefactor of God, came here from Rogge Camp to find the whereabouts of the pharmacist Eco." Lan Wu walked up to Olvera and said frankly: "We have a patient who needs the antidote prepared by Master Eco to save his life. But the only clue so far is that the soul hunter tribe in front has captured a woman who is suspected of being Lord Eco, so we are here."
"Just you two?" The Amazon in the lead looked unbelieving. Just two professionals dared to provoke that soul hunter tribe, how brave they must be.
"He is a fifty-sixth level Paladin." Lan Wu introduced Ovela sideways, and then smiled: "I am not an ordinary professional. I am a divine benefactor. I once..."
After a pause, he scratched his head and added: "Perhaps you won't believe me even more. But if you meet professionals who come from Lu Gaoyin, you will definitely have heard of my name."
The leading Amazon's expression softened a little, and his eyes stayed on Olvera for a moment longer. Then he put away his bow and arrows, and invited in a deep voice: "We heard your distress signal. It seems that you have encountered a lot of trouble. Follow me. Come on. My tribe welcomes Amazon friends.”
Several other Amazons immediately saw the leader's gesture and immediately jumped into the jungle. They were so agile that Lan Wu couldn't help but sigh. She is indeed the daughter of the jungle.
Lan Wu didn't quite understand why these Amazons said that the three of them were friends of the Amazons. After careful calculation, Avila is the only Amazon who can be considered a friend. To be more relaxed, Barbara's follower, the Amazon Vinia, can also be counted as one. But how do these Amazons know about them?
After looking at Olvera, Lan Wu saw a hint of acquiescence in his eyes and no longer had any scruples. The three of them followed these Amazons through the jungle for more than an hour, and their eyes suddenly became brighter.
This is an open highland. Green trees are scattered in this highland. Exquisite tree houses are built on the trees. Many Amazons who were fully dressed up looked at them in surprise when they saw the tribal leader returning with three professionals.
Lanwu didn't know the customs of the Amazon. But Olvera followed Barbara to travel to the port of Curast for a period of time, and he knew these Amazon tribes that still live in the jungle quite well.
There are two types of Amazons in humans. One is to fully integrate into human society, and the bloodline of Amazon is not pure. Only by awakening the blood in the body can one obtain relevant professional inheritance. And the other one is the one in front of you.
These Amazons who still live in the jungle have always maintained their traditional life. Hunting in the rainforest, completely resistant to men entering the tribe. Only when they decide to reproduce will they leave the jungle, live with the man of their choice for a period of time, and then return to the tribe after getting pregnant. If a boy is born, they will send the newborn baby to his father to be raised, or to a kind commoner to raise him. If a girl is born, the girl will be raised according to tribal traditions until she awakens the Amazon bloodline, obtains professional inheritance, and eventually becomes a qualified Amazon warrior.
Olvera knew that such Amazons refused to allow men to enter the tribe, believing that this would bring disaster to the tribe. But there are two special situations. First, important members of the tribe are unable to freely go out to find men to conceive, so they can only invite men into the tribe to perform the sacred reproduction ceremony. The second type is friends who have already gained Amazon friendship. But in either case, Amazon would never intentionally lure a man into a tribe and then kill him. If they don't want the other party to get close to the tribe, they will only use force to drive them away. Since these Amazons did not drive away the three of them, he felt comfortable accepting the invitation from these Amazons.
"They are friends of the Amazons and have sacred music." The Amazon leader who brought Lan Wu and the others raised his bow and arrow and loudly announced the identities of the three to other members of the tribe.
The tribe became lively when they learned that these two strange men were friends of the Amazons and possessed the sacred music. They took out fresh fruits and pickled dried meat from their respective tree houses, and held a sumptuous banquet under the big tree in the middle of the tribe.
Lan Wu originally thought about trying to persuade these Amazons to go with him to rescue the woman who was captured by the soul hunter. After all, the little girl also said that she needed help, but unexpectedly she attended a rare banquet first.
Amazon's recipes are relatively simple, all of which are seasonal wild fruits and pickled meat. The wild fruits are sweet and delicious. The meat is no less delicious. After asking him, he learned that this meat is a special recipe passed down by Amazon to adapt to the hot and humid rainforest climate.
This Amazon tribe is very enthusiastic. The leader Yidaiya selflessly told the history and production method of this meat. Due to the hot and humid rainforest climate, meat will rot and deteriorate in a very short time. So the Amazon ancestors used the unique spices in the rainforest to pickle the dried meat strips, and then put them into jars and seal them to isolate the air and prevent the reproduction of microorganisms. Open a jar when you need to eat it.
At this time, due to the isolation from the outside air, the humid and sultry environment generates a lot of heat, causing the moisture in the jar to penetrate into the mud that seals the jar mouth due to the increase in temperature, so that the meat strips are dehydrated a little. This kind of cooked meat tastes like pickled meat after steaming, which is chewy and a little soft, and tastes quite good.
Unlike professionals in the city, these traditional Amazons do not drink. They believe that drinking will weaken their willpower, so that they cannot resist the temptation of the devil and lose the honor of Amazon warriors.
The banquet started suddenly and ended quickly. After a hearty meal, the banquet was over. The Amazons dispersed and continued their unfinished work. The leader, Yidaiya, took the three back to her tree house. As soon as she sat down, she asked straight to the point.
"What trouble did you encounter?"
