Chapter 155: Wall-Phasing
Matthew wanted to ask more.
Suddenly, Lumiere turned to look at the other side of the forest. Matthew also sensed a group of people approaching!
Lumiere strode forward, shouting something loudly in the native language.
Soon, some figures emerged from the rainforest. They were wearing clothes woven from leaves, holding spears in their hands, and had sharp teeth sewn into their mouths. Their eyes were extremely fierce.
Matthew noticed that there were a few strong men among the natives. They carried a few human heads on their backs. One of the heads had not dried up, and blood was still flowing out of the stump.
"It’s the Headhunter tribe in the southwest. Be careful. They’re very extreme and resist any outsiders.”
Lumiere did not turn around. He was still negotiating with the other party, but his words still accurately floated into Matthew and Bobo’s ears. No one knew how he did it.
Lumiere and the headhunters talked for a long time.
The latter stared fiercely at Matthew and Bobo, pointing at them as if they were unwilling to let them go.
In the middle of the stalemate, Matthew asked,
“What are they talking about?”
Lumiere replied, ” They said that there are people cutting down the rainforest in the southwest. Many people. Those people have also built factories in the rainforest. I don’t know. They said it very vaguely. I don’t know if it’s a factory or a logging farm. In short, it’s a large building surrounded by fences. The sound of machinery is always coming from inside. Damn it, what was going
Matthew wanted to ask again.
Suddenly, a headhunter gave a signal.
In a nearby bush that wasn’t too dense, a little boy who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old suddenly raised his blow dart!
Whoosh!
A thin dart went straight for Matthew’s chest.
Fortunately, Matthew was very vigilant. The moment the two sides met, he used his perception to sweep through the surroundings to look for hiding spots.
At that moment, he was about to dodge when a short figure suddenly stood in front of him and jumped.
Bang!
The blow dart collided with Bobo’s helmet, changing its course. With a whoosh, it struck the tree bark at the side, and a green liquid flowed out of the arrowhead.
Matthew was a little angry.
Bobo had already made her move. The glove on her right hand flashed with a blue light as she threw an uppercut into the air.
Puff!
The child hiding in the bushes seemed to have been hit in the abdomen by a
Huge force. He was sent flying. Not only did he fall out of the bushes, but he also hung on a tall branch in the end, screaming endlessly.
"Wait, stop!”
Lumiere shouted. He turned around and said to Bobo and Matthew,
"Step back a little more. Trust me and let me handle it, okay?”
His eyes were pleading.
Bobo was about to shake her head and refuse.
Matthew grabbed her helmet and walked away.
A hint of gratitude flashed in Lumiere’s eyes.
Then, he walked toward the group of headhunters alone.
The aura of the Child of the Rainforest was unleashed.
No headhunter dared to stop him.
"Lumiere, what are you doing?” a headhunter asked.
"You shouldn’t have done that.” There was a hint of pity in Lumiere’s eyes. The headhunters questioned,
“Are you going to kill our child for an outsider?” Lumi?re leapt onto the branch like a cheetah and gently lifted the child from the tree.
The child’s mouth was constantly bleeding, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"There are no children in the rainforest, only hunters and prey.”
Lumiere’s tone was extremely calm.
"I know what you’re thinking. You think I won’t do anything to a child, but you’re wrong.
"I have warned you many times that they are my friends, but you still crossed my bottom line. This is really too stupid.”
A headhunter with a vicious face scolded angrily,
“I don’t believe you dare to kill him!”
Crack!
Lumi&re calmly twisted the child’s neck.
The headhunters’ cries of shock and pain could be heard in the forest.
Lumiere slowly stood up, his hands trembling slightly.
"You will never become the king of the rainforest! You can’t be our king. You’re a traitor!”
The headhunters roared in grief and indignation.
Lumiere turned around resolutely.
"Whether or not I can become the king of the rainforest is not up to you.
"I want to become the king of the rainforest precisely because I hope that one day, a child like him won’t have to hold a blowdart and kill people in secret.
"I want to change the living environment of all the Jangos. I want us to live a stable life. I want us to eat, live well, wear warm clothes, and avoid killing as much as possible.
"And if we want to achieve all of this, we can’t blindly reject all outsiders.
"They are the key for us to leave the rainforest and enter the world.
"I don’t expect you idiots to understand my ambition, but if you continue to be stubborn and obstruct me, I don’t mind twisting your heads off, I mean, all of you.”
After saying this.
He stopped and turned to the headhunters again.
“Now, tell me everything you know about those outsiders. Please don’t get it wrong. I’m not begging you for anything, and I’m ordering you to tell me the truth.”
Ten minutes later.
Lumiere returned to the two of them with a calm expression.
He only said,
“He’s dead.”
Matthew patted him on the shoulder.
The latter quickly said, ” According to the clues provided by the Headhunter tribe, the people who cut down trees in the southwest of the rainforest may be related to the Dragon Lich Sect. The highest leader of the Dragon Lich Sect is a powerful priest. It is said that he has a close relationship with a Dragon Lich who has already advanced to a demigod. Before this, they had been active in the desert. For some reason, they suddenly began to invade the rainforest.” Matthew nodded.
When Lumiere was communicating with the Headhunter, he had already thought of some clues, but he still needed some evidence.
So Matthew asked,
“Do you know where the Dinosauruses and the Winged Dragon Wind God’s original territory was?”
Lumiere was stunned.
"It’s the west, near the Headhunter tribe. What do you mean?”
Matthew had an expression of ‘I knew it’.
"The ecological state is the reason!
"It seemed that the people of the Dragon Lich Sect had been keeping a close eye on the rainforest. They might have had plans for the rainforest for a long time, but due to the existence of the two lords, Dinosauruses and the Winged Dragon Wind God, especially the Dinosauruses, their plans could not be implemented.
” After your advancement ritual, the Dinosauruses died, and there was a vacancy in the ecological niche. It is impossible for the rainforest to give birth to a second overlord with similar intimidation abilities in the short term.
In comparison, you might be stronger than Dinosauruses, but in terms of individual strength, you can’t cover as much territory as it.
"You fought with Dinosauruses for a long time, which must have attracted their attention. When Dinosauruses died, the Dragon Lich Sect could not wait to take action.
"Judging from the timeline, this speculation was also valid. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come in right after you left.”
Bobo asked,
"What about the Sandstorm Bandits and the Order of Calamity?
Lumiere answered first,
” The people from the Order of Calamity are from the Underdark. I know that there are several entrances to the underground cities near the rainforest. Some gnolls used to occupy them, but they disappeared later.” Matthew actually had many doubts about the Sandstorm Bandits.
He was about to explain this point.
Suddenly.
A little flying squirrel jumped down from the tree behind the three of them.
His voice sounded extremely excited.
"Hahaha, Lord Matthew, great news! A black-robed man who had appeared out of nowhere had brought more than ten Ground Fire Dragons and a group of Dragon Blood Warriors with him. They were currently attacking the Black Banyan Dream Realm!
"Lord Su Ya is struggling to hold on, but the situation is not good. I think she will soon step down!
"The next Soul of the Rainforest is none other than me, Hoodlum!
"What do you think? Lord Matthew?”
