In the leopard tribe's village, facing Fan Li's sincere thanks, Catherine looked arrogant and raised her chin without any reserve, "I have been in a big Eastern country, so I know a lot about it."
Chloe was surprised, but she still focused her attention on the leopard-print tribesmen who were interspersed with the service. "Your male servants know etiquette very well."
Mai Ziwen waved his hand to stop the leopard tribe from adding wine, "That's enough, thank you... Madam, this tastes really like home."
During the dinner, Tesla reiterated his old talk, “Catherine, tell us, how did you get here?
"Why didn't I see Wood, the king and the false saber-toothed tiger here?"
Catherine smiled reservedly, "Why did you come to this damn place?"
Chloe nodded affirmatively, "That's it."
Catherine glanced at Tesla beside her and said, "I shouldn't marry that guy."
Tesla wondered, "Who? Wood? Or..."
In his memory, this woman seemed to have remarried several times. Apart from his good friend Wood, he didn't know who else specifically.
Catherine drank alcohol carelessly, "After Tesla went missing, we formed an exploration team and searched for you in the mysterious Kunlun Mountains.
"Later, we suddenly encountered a mysterious fog. When we penetrated the fog, we found that we were here;
"Unfortunately, except for Wood and I, everyone else on the exploration team has died one after another in the past ten years."
Ten years?
Tesla and the others were all shocked, "It's only been a few short days since we got here?"
In the village of the Leopard Tribe.
Catherine's words shocked everyone.
A few days, but others turned into ten years?
Moreover, in Tesla's eyes, Catherine was actually younger than she once was;
If all the information hadn't been correct, Tesla would have even suspected that the Catherine in front of him was a fake.
In response to Tesla's question, Catherine responded affirmatively, "Yes, in ten years, even us, if we hadn't been taken in by the leopard tribe, we would have died long ago.
"As for Wood, he also died not long ago."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became depressing.
Catherine breathed a sigh of relief and showed a charming and confident smile, "Come, let's drink to old friends and new friends."
Let's all raise a toast together.
Tesla took a sip of wine, put down the glass, and stood up, "Well, if Wood was still here, tonight would be a more wonderful night.
"Although I don't want to ruin this beautiful moment, it's already very late and we have to hit the road before dawn."
However, before Tesla had time to stand up, the leopard-print tribesmen behind him suddenly pressed their weapons over, "Woo, woo."
Fan Li's hand under the table moved slightly, "What does this mean?"
Everyone was stunned.
Catherine said calmly, "I'm afraid there is another problem, a very serious problem..."
Hannah, who had been silent, interrupted her, "Is it related to the forbidden area?"
Catherine nodded, "You have broken into a forbidden area."
Tesla smiled awkwardly, "Catherine, are you kidding me?"
Catherine's face was expressionless, "It must be like this, punish you with the death penalty."
Under the table, Fan Li's hand gently grasped the handle of the pistol.
Mai Ziwen smoothed things over, "Mrs. Catherine Wood, you yourself have said that Wood is the king, and you are the queen here;
"As the queen, your influence is unparalleled. I would like to ask you to help us."
Catherine shook her head helplessly, "I can't help it, unless..."
Soon, everyone understood what she meant. Only if Fan Li and the others retrieved the remains of King Wood would they be forgiven by the Leopard Tribe.
To this end, Catherine also took out a simple map and spread it on a clean table aside, "Here, where Wood was injured;
"He crawled here injured and died after entering this cave."
Fan Li followed the cave she pointed out and felt that the general direction was not far from the area where he first encountered the alien monster.
But he had a very deep memory of that place, and it seemed that there was no such cave under the mountain.
He always felt something was wrong, "Are you saying that the Leopard Tribe agreed to use Wood's bones to exempt us from the death penalty for breaking into the forbidden area?"
Catherine affirmed, "He is a king and must be buried in his own territory and must hold sacred ceremonies."
Hannah frowned, "Since you know where he died, why don't you let the tribe retrieve the king's bones?"
Catherine took it for granted, "They can't, because it is the most forbidden area, and the leopard tribe will not offend the gods, even if it is for the king."
Fan Li pondered for a long time, "Okay, we will do it as promised."
Catherine added another incident, "Tesla must stay."
Everyone was shocked, they were trying to take Tesla hostage.
Tesla forced a smile, "Do I still have a choice?"
Catherine enthusiastically said, "Out of our sincerity, Tesla, you will be treated courteously here.
"In addition, you must get it back before tomorrow night. If the deadline is passed, no matter what, I can't help you."
Then, she turned and left expressionlessly.
When she left, the leopard warriors also forced Tesla to follow her.
Tesla looked back at everyone and hesitated to speak.
Fan Li rolled up the parchment-like map and led everyone out of the Leopard Clan's village before it got dark.
Unconsciously, the sky has become brighter.
Chloe was unhappy all the way, "Come on, if that woman hadn't coveted Tesla, we wouldn't have had this strange experience."
But everyone didn't realize that there were a pair of eyes staring at them from behind the branches and leaves of the jungle in front of them.
Mai Ziwen paid attention to Fan Li, "Tell us, what exactly do you think?"
Hannah, who was at the front, paused and suddenly stopped talking, "Shh... did you hear that?"
Chloe stopped and said, "Didn't hear anything."
Mai Ziwen nodded affirmatively, "Yes, nothing."
Fan Li said solemnly, "There are no birds, no animals, nothing."
Mai Ziwen gestured, "How's it going? What's the reason?"
Chloe had experienced this with Fan Li before, "It won't happen again, will it?"
She already has a phobia about it.
Hannah affirmed, "It's a large ferocious beast, even a dinosaur."
Fan Li gestured to tell everyone to be careful.
As they carefully walked through the jungle branches and leaves in front of them, they saw a scene of explosive scalps.
Mai Ziwen's eyes widened, "What kind of creature is so powerful?"
Right in front of him, lay the body of a huge monster.
The combat power of a creature that can kill such a ferocious beast is unimaginable.
At this moment, a ferocious-looking beast suddenly jumped out from behind the branches and leaves, and its movements were extremely agile.
He first screamed at Mai Ziwen, and then pounced on Mai Ziwen, who was standing there trembling in fear as if he was completely frightened.
With his previous experience with the pseudo-saber-toothed tiger, he did not have the quick reaction to encounter the pseudo-saber-toothed tiger.
It's no wonder that he is a novice with little experience. The shadow of the pseudo-sabertooth tiger he experienced last time has been infinitely expanded this time.
What's more, the movements of this Deinonychus are much faster and more agile than the original pseudo-sabertooth tiger.
When Fan Li behind him saw this, he immediately raised his gun with eyes wide open, "Shoot!"
Hannah was also horrified, this was the most ferocious Deinonychus.
However, with his life hanging by a thread, Mai Ziwen froze in place. Not only did he not shoot to repel the Deinonychus, but he also happened to block Fan Li's shooting line.
The Deinonychus didn't give Mai Ziwen any chance to hesitate. It pounced on him with lightning speed with its front paws, and at the same time used its third claw to dig into his internal organs.
Fan Li took this opportunity and shot it in the vital part of the neck without hesitation.
At the same time, Chloe also hit the Deinonychus in the head from the side with a pistol.
The Deinonychus screamed and fell to the ground.
However, its sharp claw did not penetrate Mai Ziwen's chest because its body was overturned, but it still penetrated his leg.
Mai Ziwen screamed and instinctively hugged his injured left leg.
Hannah rushed over, "Oh my God, this wound is too deep. I need to put a bandage on it to reduce inflammation and stop the bleeding."
Fan Li signaled Chloe to be alert, and he found the hemostatic herbs himself, "Mai Ziwen, take off your shirt and I will help you."
He then directed Hannah, "Hannah, help him take off his boots to help with blood circulation."
Hannah squatted down, "What about his injury?"
Fan Li reached out and touched Mai Ziwen's injured leg, "I will apply herbal medicine and tie a bandage to stop the bleeding and reduce inflammation."
He didn't know where his recovery powers came from, or whether it would be useful for Mai Ziwen's injury at this time, but he didn't want to tell anyone this.
Mai Ziwen grimaced in pain, "Hannah, Fan Li is right."
In this team, when it comes to botany and herbal medicine, Mai Ziwen can barely be regarded as a well-deserved medical expert, while Fan Li can only be regarded as a dabbler.
Chloe came back with warning, "We have to get out of here quickly."
Mai Ziwen was sweating from the pain, "You go first, I can't leave anymore."
Fan Li squatted in front of Mai Ziwen, "I'll carry you."
Chloe was shocked, "Carry him?"
Fan Li and Hannah picked up Mai Ziwen first, "Deinonychus usually doesn't forage alone, and its companions will arrive soon."
Hannah glanced at Chloe coldly, "Don't even think about leaving him alone."
Fan Li looked at the sky, "We can't send him back to the tower. Even if he goes to the cave where supplies are stored, there won't be enough time. We must rush back to the Leopard Clan's village before dark."
Chloe's face was expressionless, "Where's the sulfur hot spring we just passed?"
Fan Li nodded, "This is a good idea. The sulfur can at least cover up the smell of blood."
Hannah shook her head, "That's not safe either."
Fan Li had no choice but to say, "If you don't go, its companions will be waiting for you."
Hannah thought for a while, "You go to the cave to find the bones, and I will accompany him."
Mai Ziwen insisted on standing up, "Hannah, I'll be fine alone."
Hannah helped him, "You can't be alone in this situation. Let's go."
Fan Li grabbed the spear that Mai Ziwen had dropped, "Next time, remember to use this."
Mai Ziwen took the spear in shame.
With Hannah's support, Mai Ziwen held on to his spear, resisted the pain, and jumped on one leg.
After Fan Li watched them enter the jungle, without any hesitation, he immediately and decisively took Chloe towards the destination.
