Lu Yue smelled a fragrance in her dream. She opened her eyes and saw Huo Jiakai waving a roasted fish in front of her nose. Lu Yue covered her face shyly, not letting Huo Jiakai see her sleepy look. She quickly got up and washed her face with the river water.
Everyone was already up. Only Lu Yue was sleeping soundly and did not wake her. Lu Yue quickly tidied herself up and prepared to set off.
At this moment, on the other side of the world, in a luxurious underground building of a casino in a certain country, a handsome but angry man smashed his phone heavily on a large table made of pear wood, making a dull sound. The wolfhound squatting beside him also trembled slightly.
This person was Chen Xiude's brother, Chen Xiu Cai. He was now the boss of the casino. It was rare to see Master lose his temper like this. In front of everyone, he was a refined and successful person. He had status, knowledge, and demeanor, as well as a good figure. Only in this underground space where there was no one else would they smash things and curse.
"A bunch of trash." Chen Xiucai had just picked up the phone when he received a panicked report. They had followed them to a cave and used a miniature plastic bomb to blow up the hole and destroy the mechanism. They had painstakingly entered the cave, but the cave had been looted. There was only an empty box left, and the lid was still open. They found nothing, so they quickly followed the trail. But…
When Chen Xiucai heard them stutter, he asked sternly," What but? Hurry up and get to the point.”
The person on the other end of the phone was terrified. He said that they had sped up to track the second young master's tracks, but the tracks were cut off at a certain place and could no longer be connected.
Chen Xiucai felt that it was impossible because he considered that one tracking method was not safe. He personally prepared several types for his brother, such as the electronic tracker in his backpack and the scent tracking incense. There was also the button tracker on his brother's clothes and the fluorescent tracker in his shoes.
In other words, as long as his younger brother was still wearing a piece of clothing or a shoe, he could be tracked. How could it be broken? Unless his younger brother stayed there and did not move.
The phone rang again, and Chen Xiucai immediately picked it up. A depressed voice came from the phone," Boss, Second Young Master…Second Young Master is dead. We found his body."”
Chen Xiucai's phone was ruthlessly thrown out. All his years of planning and preparation had gone to waste.
Lu Yue was in a good mood. She felt as light as a swallow.
Huo Jiakai asked," What made you so happy?”
Lu Yue smiled in embarrassment. She did not tell him because she had dreamed of him last night.
Lu Yue noticed that Huo Jiakai had dark circles under his eyes. She asked with concern," Why are there dark circles? Did you not rest well last night?"”
Huo Jiakai was depressed. This silly girl. Yesterday, she was so cute and innocent, making his heart beat faster, but she slept so soundly. She kept laughing and making very light ravings, but he heard it all. He almost suffered internal injuries from being stuffy.
At noon, Guru Loba slowed down and looked around carefully. He said that there seemed to be signs of people living here. I found a trap for catching beasts.
Old Wang also said," I was just wondering if we had entered the no man's land long ago, but I noticed that there were tree branches that had been cut by knives.
Ping An said,"I saw it too." I thought it might be some outdoor photography team or outdoor sportsmen who wanted to take the risk of crossing the no man's land.”
Guru Loba said," This seems to be the traces left by people who have lived here for a long time. We should be careful not to offend them. The people living in isolated places had some taboos.”
Everyone carefully walked for a distance and did not find anything particularly dangerous. However, Lu Yue felt even worse. She kept feeling like she was being watched.
Following that, Hojiakai also felt it. It was just like the feeling he had every time he was followed. When Old Wang and Ping An decided to investigate first and see what was going on, gongs and drums sounded all around them. Then, some valiant Tibetans rushed out, all dressed in ethnic costumes.
Guru Luoba said that this was not a Tibetan, but a Monba. I came to ask.
These hill-folk who rushed out were the Monba tribe, but they lived in this extremely secluded place. They did not live together with other Monba tribes and enjoyed the preferential subsidy policies of the government. These Monba tribes still lived a very primitive life and rarely interacted with other races.
The Menba clansmen surrounded them. Guru Loba went forward to ask the reason. The Monba clansmen were very angry and spoke in a language they could not understand. Fortunately, Guru Luoba roughly understood and told everyone that we had entered their forbidden area and were resting on the mountain rock that they regarded as their god.
Everyone remembered that they had rested beside a large rock, but the entire mountain was filled with similar rocks. Who would have known that the Menba tribe had taken that rock as their tribe god?
These Monba people believed in the primitive witchcraft, also known as hejiao. The Menba tribesmen brought them to the tribe. The tribe was not big. Some wooden houses surrounded a larger wooden house in an irregular manner. However, this house only had a roof and tall wooden pillars.
An elderly Menba clansman sat inside. His face was brown and he wasn't tall, but he was obviously very authoritative here. He might be the clan leader.
Old Wang and his group were pushed in front of the clan leader. The clan leader held a small ball with many small bumps in his hand. He kept rubbing it in his palm, just like the small ball that the city elders used to exercise their palms.
The leader of the Menba clan said something to his clansmen. Luoba told them that they were going to hold a sacrificial ceremony to offer sacrifices to the clan god.
Guru Luoba was very worried. There were some things that he did not tell Lao Wang and the others. The primitive shaman religion that the Menba tribe believed in advocated blood sacrifice. It was to slaughter living beings and sacrifice their blood to their god. They believed that this was the way to be pious. Otherwise, they would suffer misfortune.
Soon, the men and women in the clan got busy, and the children came out to watch the show. He carried the big pot, built a big stove, split the firewood, and brought out the chickens, ducks, and pigs.
Ping An asked," What are you doing? Are you going to entertain us after the sacrifice? It's been a long time since we've had a big pot of rice." The food looks good."
Huo Jiakai said coldly," Maybe they want to eat us?”
Guru Loba said,"They are not cannibals and do not eat people, but they may sacrifice living people."”
Everyone discussed and agreed that leaving was the best plan. Everyone's skills were pretty good. Miao Nu and Luoba could protect themselves. Lu Yue had Huo Jiakai, Old Wang, and Ping An. It should not be a problem. Although the Menba clansmen were valiant and agile, they were still mountain people. As long as they did not fight, escaping was a piece of cake.
Besides, the Menba tribe members were very relaxed with them. There were only two Menba youth watching them from the side, and the others were busy with their own tasks.
Everyone chose their escape route and ran away together. After running for a while, Lu Yue stopped. No, only she and the Miao girl were running. Old Wang, Ping 'an, and the other three were running behind them. They looked weak. His face was in pain and he couldn't run at all.
Lu Yue immediately turned around and went back. The Miao girl also stopped and went back together.
Huo Jiakai saw Lu Yue turn around and told her to leave.
Lu Yue said," I won't be able to survive even if I leave the mountains. I might as well stay with you.”
The two young men from the Menba tribe walked over unhurriedly as if they were mocking them. They brought the few of them back, only expressing their surprise at Lu Yue and Miao Nu.
The Miao girl checked on them and said," You're under witchcraft. It's witchcraft."
The Miao girl recalled the situation along the way. The only possibility was that the Gu worm was placed in the small ball when the clan leader rubbed the ball with his hand. The Gu worm should be in that small ball.
Old Wang endured the pain and asked," Since you know it so well, will you be able to remove it? You didn't get poisoned, so why didn't Lu Yue get poisoned either?" Could it be that this gu only worked on men?”
The Miao girl said," I don't know why she wasn't poisoned either, but this gu doesn't only work on men. I can remove the gu in you, but this is a hidden gu, which is somewhat different from Miao gu. It will take some time.”
When Lu Yue heard that there was a way to cure the gu, she was extremely happy.
