Chapter 56: Black Monsters Haunt

But the land given to us by the chief was simply not enough to feed the six of us, and we had to reclaim more land.

After asking the chief for permission to reclaim. I'll let them take farm tools and go to work with me.

Aboriginal farm tools were primitive and polished with stone, but they were still easy to use and would not be easily damaged. During this period of time, the physique of several people has been exercised to a certain extent, but the improvement was limited. When working, they all thought of ways to be lazy.

When I went home for dinner at noon, an aborigine ran up in a hurry and shouted at Li Wanxue.

"And what?" People in the tribe’s a slight strong reaction will also make me nervous.

Li Wanxue said with some worries: "I don't know, the chief asked us to hurry over."

After letting others continue eating, the two of us hurried out.

"I will go with you." Zhang Yutong dropped the bowl and chopsticks and hugged my arm.

I can't figure out what happened. If too many people go there together, it would naturally be not a good thing. I pushed her hand away and scanned the others. "You are all clever. If you see something wrong, you should guard yourself."

This word made everyone nervous. I soothingly patted Zhang Yutong's hand and took Li Wanxue out of the door.

On the way to the chief's house, I found something was wrong with the atmosphere. The men gathered at the chief's house. This was obviously a sign that something great had happened.

When I walked to the door, I found that the chief looked very anxious. When he saw us coming, he quickly greeted us and we took our seat.

With Li Wanxue as an interpreter, we can communicate directly.

"What's the matter, chief?"

The chief pointed to two ragged aborigines standing opposite us and said, "They went to the mountain forest to look for herbs in this morning. They met several monsters and one of them was caught."

"What kind of monster?" I immediately thought of the man monkey I saw on the other side of Waterfall Mountain.

One of the aborigines expressed it with fear, dancing and imitating the image and posture of the monster. What they met was not human monkeys, but a group of dark and pointed-headed humanoid monsters.

Before, I have concealed the existence of human monkeys and black monsters. Now, naturally, I can't take the initiative to stand up and accept the account. I deliberately asked, "Chief, has this ever appeared on the island before?"

The chief thought for a moment and said, "They should have come from the mountains. It must be the big monster who ran back there and told these black things what had happened to him. They must have come to avenge for it."

I haven't figured out the relationship between the man-faced monkey and the monster on the other side of waterfall mountain. However, judging from the original signs, before dying, the human-faced monkeys roared at the top of his voice, which must have been deliberately summoned out. The monkeys ate the monkeys, and the black monsters appeared later. If they want to revenge, it should be a man-faced monkey. Why did those black monsters appear first?

After thinking for a while, my thinking gradually became clear. Is it because there is a strong hierarchy between them? With their huge body, the human-faced monkeys have been suppressing the human monkey and the black monster? They enjoy the worship of the aborigines alone? Monkeys and black monsters are afraid to come to this area inhabited by aborigines.

Now that the man-faced monkey is dead, no creature can suppress the man-faced monkey and the black monster, so they try to take over the man-faced monkey's position on the island?

"Did you think of something?" The chief asked me.

I told the second half of my thoughts.

The chief thought for a moment and nodded in approval: "It should be in the way what you said. I thought we had nothing to worry about it after killing the human- faced monkey. But now it seems that we still have to raise livestock to feed them in order to get peace."

At this time, a middle-aged man said two words to the chief. I saw Li Wanxue's expression changed.

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the chief stared at me and nodded his head.

My heart trembled, knowing that there was no good thing. Without waiting for Li Wanxue to translate, I directly asked, "Does he want me to deal with those black monsters?"

Li Wanxue looked a little dull and nodded.

In the eyes of the aborigines, I can even kill the big monsters that have plagued them for decades. So dealing with the small monsters is a matter of lifting weights lightly. But I can't take the risk.

I held Li Wanxue's hand and said, "It's okay, you can continue to help us translate."

Li Wanxue nodded, but she was a little absent-minded.

"Chief, if I go to deal with black monsters alone, it will definitely not work. They are perfect pairs, unlike there is only one big monster. I was exhausted from dealing with big monsters. I really can't fight against a group of small monsters by myself."

The chief said bluntly, "Don't you still have three slaves? You can take them with you. I will never mistreat you. If you kill those black monsters, and I will give you more good things."

I couldn't help laughing in my heart. The tribe is so barren, where could they have good things for me, even if there are gold and silver treasures in the tribe, I can't go to win. Last time for Li Wanxue, I was already fighting for my life. I can't be so lucky every time.

"Chief, you think about it. Your body are stronger than ours. Even you can't deal with the black monster. How can we do it? Even if I take them, we all die in the hands of the black monster. What should you do with them after that?"

The chief was silent, and the other aborigines were noisy. Li Wanxue told me that they think I am not an ordinary person. If I can defeat the big monster, it means that there must be gods behind me who is always protecting me.

This made me speechless immediately. The living conditions of the aborigines were still in the Stone Age, and their religious beliefs were also Shamanism-style animism. It is impossible to change their thinking. Therefore, when they believe that there is a god behind me, they will firmly believe that I can deal with all monsters.

Once I am defeated by monsters, they can justify that I have done something wrong and I had been abandoned by the gods.

It seemingly superstitious and stupid, but it is a sharp weapon to use others.

But no matter what the aborigines say, the chief's decision is the final answer.

After a long time, the chief raised his head and said slowly, "If you also think they are difficult to deal with, please take your slaves first and help me collect the bones of my people."

Before I answered, Li Wanxue replied directly and immediately sued me. I don't know where the man died.

Obviously, the chief didn't think this was a big problem, so he asked the two survivors who ran back to describe the accident site to me, saying that they had been walking to the northwest mountain forest, and there was a large burned place, where they met the black monster.

"Lu Fei, please don't live up to our expectations of you, please." After saying this, the chief got up with a scepter.

Other aborigines also saluted me and retreated one by one.

It didn't leave me any chance to defend myself at all.

"What should we do now?" Li Wanxue asked anxiously.

I took her hand and walked back. I pondered carefully on the road. This trip was bound to be a bad one. The scene of the accident was obviously the cave where the human-faced monkey lived that I had burned it down. The black monster has just gained a harvest there and may continue to wander there.

As we approached the door, Li Wanxue clenched my hand and whispered, "Lu Fei, why don't we take this opportunity to escape?"

"Run away?" I haven't thought about it yet. It's not that I am lazy, but that my experience on the island during this period has made me realize how important it is to get a stable living environment.

"This is the only way to do it." Li Wanxue said: "When we wait for the evening, we quietly bring some food and escape from the island."

"Just the two of us?"

She bowed her head: "You don't blame me for being selfish, if you bring Zhang Yutong with you. I really can't accept because she is so open, sooner or later you will throw yourself into her gentle hometown."

"At this time, why are you still thinking about the love between men and women?"

"I..." Li Wanxue looked at me with some grievances.
