Chapter 155: Wall-Phasing
Translator: Lonelytree
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.
âItâs the Headhunter tribe in the southwest. Be careful. Theyâre very extreme and resist any outsiders.â
Lumiere did not turn around. He was still negotiating with the other party, but his words still accurately floated into Matthew and Boboâs 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, âWhat are they talking about?â
Lumiere replied, â 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 donât know. They said it very vaguely. I donât know if itâs a factory or a logging farm. In short, itâs 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 wasnât 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 Matthewâs 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 Boboâs 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.
âWait, stop!â
Lumiere shouted. He turned around and said to Bobo and Matthew,
âStep back a little more. Trust me and let me handle it, okay?â
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 Lumiereâs 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.
âLumiere, what are you doing?â a headhunter asked.
âYou shouldnât have done that.â There was a hint of pity in Lumiereâs eyes. The headhunters questioned, âAre you going to kill our child for an outsider?â Lumiöre leapt onto the branch like a cheetah and gently lifted the child from the tree.
The childâs mouth was constantly bleeding, and his eyes were filled with fear.
âThere are no children in the rainforest, only hunters and prey.â
Lumiereâs tone was extremely calm.
âI know what youâre thinking. You think I wonât do anything to a child, but youâre wrong.
âI have warned you many times that they are my friends, but you still crossed my bottom line. This is really too stupid.â
A headhunter with a vicious face scolded angrily, âI donât believe you dare to kill him!â
Crack!
Lumi&re calmly twisted the childâs neck.
The headhuntersâ cries of shock and pain could be heard in the forest.
Lumiere slowly stood up, his hands trembling slightly.
âYou will never become the king of the rainforest! You canât be our king. Youâre a traitor!â
The headhunters roared in grief and indignation.
Lumiere turned around resolutely.
âWhether or not I can become the king of the rainforest is not up to you.
âI want to become the king of the rainforest precisely because I hope that one day, a child like him wonât have to hold a blowdart and kill people in secret.
âI 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.
âAnd if we want to achieve all of this, we canât blindly reject all outsiders.
âThey are the key for us to leave the rainforest and enter the world.
âI donât expect you idiots to understand my ambition, but if you continue to be stubborn and obstruct me, I donât mind twisting your heads off, I mean, all of you.â
After saying this.
He stopped and turned to the headhunters again. âNow, tell me everything you know about those outsiders. Please donât get it wrong. Iâm not begging you for anything, and Iâm ordering you to tell me the truth.â
Ten minutes later.
Lumiere returned to the two of them with a calm expression.
He only said, âHeâs dead.â
Matthew patted him on the shoulder.
The latter quickly said, â 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.â 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, âDo you know where the Dinosauruses and the Winged Dragon Wind Godâs original territory was?â
Lumiere was stunned.
âItâs the west, near the Headhunter tribe. What do you mean?â
Matthew had an expression of âI knew itâ.
âThe ecological state is the reason!
âIt 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.
â 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 canât cover as much territory as it.
âYou 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.
âJudging from the timeline, this speculation was also valid. Otherwise, they wouldnât have come in right after you left.â
Bobo asked,
âWhat about the Sandstorm Bandits and the Order of Calamity?
Lumiere answered first,
â 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.â 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.
âHahaha, 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!
âLord Su Ya is struggling to hold on, but the situation is not good. I think she will soon step down!
âThe next Soul of the Rainforest is none other than me, Hoodlum!
âWhat do you think? Lord Matthew?â
