"Professor, why are there such a group of soldiers following us to the Amazon jungle for scientific research?”
A few people from Stanford University were packing up their equipment to enter the jungle. There were a total of five of them. Professor John looked to be in his fifties, but his body was extremely strong. Even at this age, he was still fighting in the front line of scientific research. There were a total of three boys and a girl following him. The girl could not help but complain to the professor.
"I don't know why they're following us either. I received a call from the school today, saying that the M Nation's Department of Defense sent a message to let us enter the Amazon jungle with these people.”
Professor John Xun sounded a little dissatisfied. As a professor at Stanford University and a leader in the field of biology, he had many connections in the M Nation. However, because of the urgency of the matter, he didn't have the chance to ask for insider information.
"Alright, Lucy, let's treat them as bodyguards. The Amazon jungle is full of dangers. As long as they don't disturb our research, these people can help us deal with some possible crises.”
Professor John knew that he couldn't refuse, so he said helplessly.
"That's right, Lucy! The Amazon jungle is too dangerous. This is a place that humans rarely set foot in. There are countless poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in there. With the protection of these soldiers, I can only let you enter without worry. Oh, if I didn't know your love for biology, I definitely wouldn't have let you come here.”
At this moment, another student of Professor John Xun, a young man, walked over and said to Lucy.
"Don't be mushy. The professor is still here, Dylan!”
Lucy snorted.
The other two male students chuckled as they tidied up their things. This boy named Dylan had always been pursuing Lucy. He came from a wealthy family and was quite good-looking. Lucy was also the pretty type in school. Although the two of them did not explicitly admit it, those who knew them knew that the two of them were already considered a couple.
Professor Johann laughed as he watched his students laugh and joke around. He sighed at how good it was to be young. From the corner of his eye, he saw the commander walking over and clapped his hands."…Alright, children! You guys continue to organize the items according to my instructions. I'll go over there and understand the situation with the officer.”
After instructing the students, Professor Johansson walked towards the commander.
The officer saluted the professor and took out a map.""…I'm so sorry, Professor! Sorry to disturb your research project, but this is an order from the higher-ups. We can't do anything about it.”
The commander did not want to offend these scholars.
"I know, I know. As a citizen of the M Nation, I have an obligation to cooperate with the government.”
Professor Johansson complained.
The commander smiled apologetically and handed the map to Professor John Xun.""…Look, this area is where we're going. I can't tell you the exact mission, so I don't know if you're familiar with this place.”
Professor John looked at the map and frowned.""…This is already very deep in the Amazon jungle. I have no problem taking you there. It happens to be within the scope of my scientific research. However, I have to say that this is the Amazon jungle, one of the most dangerous areas in the world. I know that you are all experienced warriors, but I hope that you can listen to me on some survival techniques in the Amazon jungle.”
"No problem, Professor. I'll make those bastards listen to you obediently!”
"In that case, let the helicopter send us here. I remember that there is a large open space here for the helicopter to land. This place is very close to where you are going. Oh, you have to know that my students are a group of untrained children.”
Professor John drew a circle on the map and said.
"Alright, Professor. This is also my plan.”
Professor Johansson discussed some details with the commander. After confirming that there were no problems, they went to prepare.
However, the two of them did not know that this exploration would bring great changes to the human civilization and the planet!
……
In the depths of the Amazon jungle, Louis was lying by a pool of water. His golden scales had a special function. Most of the muddy dirt could not touch them at all. When Louis's body came into contact with the mud, his golden scales looked a little dimmer. This made Louis very dissatisfied. He felt that he needed some servants to help him wipe his scales properly.
The pool in the jungle was supposed to be a battlefield for hunting. Hunters at the top of the food chain would wait here for other creatures to attack when they drank water. However, because of Louis's existence, not a single small animal could be found within a radius of a few hundred meters.
He had been in the forest for a few days, thinking about how to get enough food to feed 100,000 people for a while, but no matter how much he thought about it, he could not think of a solution.
100,000 people was still a little too many.
These few days, the aborigines had been providing him with good food and drinks, which made him very happy. However, Louis did not like to stay in the primitive tribe all the time. Most of the time, he wandered around the Amazon jungle and only returned to the tribe on time to accept the tribute from the aborigines.
Louis discovered something very strange. When he accepted the worship of the natives in the tribe, he could feel the extremely slow recovery of his divine power. However, when he left the sight of the natives, even though the natives were still praying and kneeling, Louis 'divine power did not move at all.
Louis, who was puzzled, was also troubled for a while. However, because of one of his actions, he discovered the secret of believers 'prayers.
Louis had a huge appetite, so he finished the food of the aboriginal tribe in two days. However, even though the aborigines were hungry, they still tried their best to hunt for Louis, which touched Louis. He felt that these ignorant aborigines were actually quite cute. At the very least, they were very devout to him, the god they recognized.
For this reason, Louis felt that it would not be good to starve them all to death. As a god, especially one who did not rule by fear, he should answer the prayers of his believers.
However, Louis wasn't a true god, so he couldn't bestow divine spells on these believers. He couldn't hunt and feed his believers himself, either. This would lower his status as a god. As a god, he should be high and mighty, and he couldn't be with his believers.
For this reason, Louis thought about it and finally came up with a good idea. He took off one of his scales. This scale had a faint dragon's might. As long as these natives held the scale, they could use the dragon's might on it to weaken the resistance of wild animals, indirectly strengthening their hunting ability.
The problem of the tribe's survival was solved in an instant. The natives worshipped the divine artifact given by the gods all day long and worshipped the dragon scale. Louis realized that his divine power was changing every moment, even if he was not in the sight of the natives.
Louis finally understood. The reason why the gods needed statues was because those statues were the representatives of the gods and could help the gods collect the power of faith.
Louis wasn't a true god, so it was useless to carve a statue of him. However, the dragon scales were a part of his body, and he had a divine persona. As long as the believers prayed to the dragon scales, they could pass on their weak faith to him.
Although 70 to 80 believers were not many, it was already a rare faith asset for Louis, a false god.
He had already treated this tribe as his own wealth.
Just as Louis was thinking about the problem of gods and food, his keen hearing discovered something new again.
"Hmm? Was this the sound of human footsteps? And it's not just one person, it's a group of people's footsteps…"
Louis became alert.
