It was very cruel and it had killed several of them. They had injured it before, but after the beast disappeared for a while, it would soon come out again.
"He seems to have some kind of divine power, capable of self-healing." The chief's tone and expression were mixed with panic and fear.
I have seen some of the methods of the aborigines, although they seem very ignorant because of their environment. But they are not stupid.
I asked: "Then you won't set more traps to catch it?"
"Of course I have." The chief said, "But it is also very smart and it can avoid the traps every time. That guy is a bit like human. There is no way to deal with it like a beast."
"It's not the first monster." The chief's little wife interrupted.
"How did the former one disappear?" I became more and more interested in this topic.
The chief nodded and said, "She was right. Actually, before my great-grandfather became chief, there were several tribes living on this island. Everyone was in peace and there would be occasional frictions, but none of them is a big matter. Only when my great-grandfather was the chief, a group of people came to our island in a strange big bird. They spoke a language we didn't understand. Their weapons could kill people from a long distance. It only took a short time to control our entire island."
After saying it, I saw that Li Wanxue looked a little uneasy.
But the chief had already been inspired to talk about this, and he continued to speak as if he could no longer hold it.
After those unknown people took control of the entire island, they occupied a huge cave on the island. Majestic buildings were built there, and all the aborigines on the island were arrested and worked for them. They also brought many animals and strange things from the unknown world, and created some strange and vicious animals. One of the animals once killed two outsiders, and then the monsters were all killed by them. More than ten years later, they covered the cave so that the outside of the cave looked like other mountains. Now no one can find the hiding place for those people.
"That's right." The chief paused and added: "I remember my grandfather said that they spoke Pullman."
"Pullman?" I have never heard of this language. But this is not surprising. There are tens of millions of languages in the world, and my cognition is still not up to that point.
"Did they remember it wrong." Li Wanxue said at me: "Could it be that the Germans were called Rippmans? Due to the differences in language, this kind of pronunciation error is normal."
"You mean the people who came to the island are Western Europeans?" I still know this. Western Europeans are mainly Germanic nations, including Germany, Austria, Sweden, and so on.
Li Wanxue nodded: "You think, they came with a big bird, isn't that just an airplane? To create monsters, you need advanced technology."
"I know about this. Both Germany and Russia have carried out genetic improvement experiments. It seems that they have not succeeded later." I have seen this kind of history in the news.
With these answers, the name of a world-class villain also popped up in my mind-Hitler.
The chief saw the two of us talking endlessly, and angrily pounded the scepter in his hand on the ground twice. Li Wanxue quickly explained to him.
The chief then turned his anger into joy and told us that the people who came here had indeed created monsters. Before the human face monkey came out, three monsters appeared on the island inexplicably. Three generations of their grandparents had fought against the monsters, but they all ended in failure. In order to protect the survival of the tribe, they moved to live on this high ground and began to provide food for monsters. They keep a large number of domestic animals, and every time they send some into the woods, so he monsters can catch them by themselves.
The monsters fill up their stomachs with domestic animals, so they won't run to the high ground to attack their tribe.
"How did your tribe escape from those outsiders?" I was confused about this.
The chief shook his head: "We could not escape, but it was my grandfather's luck later. He took a few people out of the cave by accident. He snatched a dozen women from the tribes of other islands. Now all the people in our tribe here are the descendants of a few of them. It is strange to say that since the cave was hidden, those outsiders have not come to us for trouble."
"Then you are all intermarried?" I asked.
The chief laughed: "You are more civilized than ours. How do you ask such silly questions? If intermarriages within the family, we will get some weird problems. We have never intermarried within the family. When the children grow up, I will exchange children with tribes on other islands. The tribes that have more girls than boys would give the girls to other tribes. Otherwise, they will give boys to them.
"Then you guys never thought about leaving this island, living on the same island with other tribes, or uniting against monsters?"
"How can that be possible?" The chief's reaction was great: "The larger islands has already been occupied by tribes. They will not allow us to invade their territories. Besides, our tribes have lived on this island for generations and are not willing to leave here. Young man, there is only so much we can tell you. Do you have the courage to deal with that monster?"
Knowing so much, I am really a little timid. So many generations of people can't deal with a monster, how can I deal with it alone? The only thing we know so far is that the human-faced monkey is afraid of fire.
"If you don't dare to go, you can help us farming here with peace of mind." The chief's little wife sneered.
I quickly promised: "I dare to go, but it will take a little longer. Before I come back, I hope you can treat my woman kindly."
With that said, I glanced at Li Wanxue. She twitched her hair, smiled and turned her head away.
The chief agreed: "This is no problem, she can say what we say, and we all like her."
"Then it's okay." I nodded and said, "Can we leave here now?"
The chief stood up, pointed to the distance and said: "Anytime, but I have to make it clear. If you fail to kill the monster, your woman will suffer a lot."
"Absolutely no problem." This is the only way out for now.
The chief came to me and patted me on the shoulder: "Good luck, young man."
After I thanked him, he turned and prepared to walk into the house. But he suddenly let us stop loudly.
I thought he had changed his mind, and there was no need for a thump in his heart.
He asked seriously: "Have you seen anyone else on the island?"
I told the story that we came to their tribe to rescue our people the night before, and were fainted and sent home by a mysterious person.
The chief pondered for a moment and said that he knew this. Fortunately, he said that he would give us some weapons to let us deal with the monsters.
He performed a little astonishedly and I was worried that there would be more words to say. So I waited until he and his little wife entered the house. Then I and Li Wanxue went to the barn with Li Wanxue.
I soothed her and said, "Don't worry, I can definitely kill that guy."
Li Wanxue looked at me worriedly, took my hand and said, "Lu Fei, I don’t think you and Yutong can do something to it because so many of them still can’t deal with that monster. I used to be so strict with you, but you are so kind to me. Actually, I am deeply moved by you. But I don’t want you to get in danger again for me. "
"Then we can't all be slaves here for a lifetime, right?" I think the risk of escaping together will be higher.
Li Wanxue stopped and said seriously: "Actually, I have nothing worthy of your adore. When you go out this time, you can go to another island with Yutong, don't worry about me. I can see that she treats you well. She has a good impression on you. You two can live together."
I took her hand up and said: "If I am willing to do this, do I still need to come here for trouble?"
"But..." She was a little anxious: "After our plane crash, it's not easy to survive. The muscular man almost killed you. Can you guarantee that you will be so lucky next time?"
"Then what if I'm so lucky?" I naturally have no guarantee in my heart, but I can't persuade myself to give up her.
