Chapter 1404: The King of the Jungle, the King of the Tribe

The tour guide was obviously alarmed when he saw the tribal people who darted out from the forest. There was a reason to it.

These tribal people were actually from a tribe called the Savage Tribe. They were no different from regular humans, looking pretty much the same appearance wise, but their lifestyle was completely different.

The Savage Tribe was used to wearing clothes made out of animal leather and fur; even their weapons were the primitive bows and arrows, as well as long-ranged weapons. They had their own language and they were usually savage like the wild animals.

Although it was known that the Savage Tribe lived in the indigenous forest of Amazonia, the tour guides had never worried about running into them. It was because these tribal people marked their territories. Other than a few parts of the Amazon indigenous forest, they would never intrude other areas.

They were the king of the jungle and they had their own territories in the Amazon rainforest. They would not leave their territories to hunt elsewhere nor would they allow outsiders to come into their areas. Once someone barged into their territories, they would initiate attack on the person.

If one had to ask why these tribal people were not subdued with modern technology and firearms since they were so savage, there was only an explanation—these tribal people were the king of the Amazon rainforest; they were familiar with the geography and they knew how to avoid the firearms leveraging on that; they could even swing and jump using the branches and vines in the jungle like they were monkeys. Firearms could not get them accurately.

Intruding on the Savage Tribe was a huge taboo in one’s way around the Amazon rainforest. The tour guide’s function was to avoid such risk and lead the visitors around the jungle smoothly.

In spite of it, the Savage Tribe who had never left their territories had actually appeared here today and were encircling them in apparent hostility. Even the tour guide had no idea what happened.

The tribal people of the Savage Tribe began to talk in their own language after they appeared.

Yun Jian kept her eyes narrowed but did not move.

Leng Lingling who was horrified by what the tour guide said was knocked out by one of the tribe members when she turned abruptly to flee screaming “I don’t want to be eaten”.

Shortly, all of them were captured by the group of tribal people. Yun Jian and Mu Ying did not resist either.

It was a large group of the tribal people, so they were able to tie Yun Jian and the others up with vines quickly and took them to the Savage Tribe.

It was already 3pm when they were brought to the tribe. While Yun Jian and the others were left under the hot sun, the tribe members thronged to the cave holding their long-ranged weapons.

“What is this place… Wuwu… Will we be eaten…” Leng Lingling cried out the moment she was put down.

What she said terrified the others around her as they paled significantly in worry for what would happen next.

Yun Jian kept her eyes squinted as she scanned the surrounding and felt her heart give a leap. This place was just like how it had been without much change.

Just as she thought about that, the group of tribal people just now walked out with an older tribe person from the cave. They were still speaking in their own language but it was obvious that the older tribe member must be their leader.

When the tribe leader came over, a few tribe members carried several huge pots out from the cave.

Leng Lingling could no longer hold herself back at the sight of the big pots. She cried as she said, “T-they…they’re really eating us… I don’t want to be eaten, no, wuwu…”

She struggled to free herself from the vines as she cried but it was in vain.

The tribal people then came toward Yun Jian and group with their leader, speaking their language no one could understand.

A while later, the pots were put over the fire. Their sizes were just nice to fit a living person each. That made not only Leng Lingling but the rest of the tour group screamed, but the vines were so strong and solid that no one was able to free themselves from the constraint.

It was not known what the tribe leader had said, but the tribal people made their way toward Yun Jian and the rest. Just when they were approaching, Yun Jian suddenly hollered at the tribe leader.

Surely there was an order even if they were going to be eaten. Yun Jian’s holler caused the tribe members to notice her side promptly and Leng Lingling was just right beside her.

Leng Lingling was already so scared that she could not speak, but Yun Jian’s shout successfully attracted the tribal people’s attention to them.

“Have you lost your mind?! Don’t drag us into it if you want to die! Die alone if you want to!” Leng Lingling shouted at Yun Jian crying.

The others around Yun Jian resented her at the same time, so they began to criticize her.

It was then the tribe leader paused abruptly and walked toward Yun Jian after a slight hesitation in his stride.

What happened after this was even more shocking.

As the tribe leader approached Yun Jian, he let out a surprised cry before hurrying to her and fell to his knees around three meters away from her. The leader put out his arms and kowtowed at Yun Jian.

When the other tribe members saw that their leader had kneeled before Yun Jian, they followed suit. In a blink of eyes, all the tribe members kneeled down to Yun Jian.

The shocking scene astonished all the others who were with Yun Jian. Even the tour guide was baffled at the sight. Others were clueless but he was well aware as a tour guide that the Savage Tribe had never bowed down to anyone. People who intruded their territories were like criminals to them and would be hunted relentlessly. The possibility of surviving a Savage Tribe abduction was barely there.

These tribal people were the king of the jungle. So familiar with the geography were they, they could defeat any intimidating expert based on the geographical layout and years of experience in the wild.

Kneeling down to someone else like today was simply never heard of to the tour guide, causing him to widen his eyes.

The others who were with Yun Jian bulged their eyes in indescribable shock as well. Their eyes were stuck to Yun Jian as if they were trying to obtain some sort of explanation of what was going on.

“This… Why are they kneeling down to Yun Jian? It’s impossible… It’s not like she’s their king? The Savage Tribe only… listens to the king they acknowledge to be the best, right? Why—Is… is Yun Jian their king?!” Shan Chengjie was so shocked that his eyes were almost popping out of their sockets.

For a swift moment, everyone went completely silent!
