Chapter 142 Myth and Joke
The tribal chief, in full ceremonial attire, had been waiting since early morning to see the team off.
This was the tribe's highest honor, reserved only for the most distinguished guests.
The tribal chief made a special effort to find Jennifer, and with great excitement, bid her farewell. He removed the longest feather from his headdress and presented it to Jennifer, one of his most prized possessions.
Jennifer accepted it with pleasure, and in return, she gave the chief a delicate personal dagger.
Jennifer was the first successful example of witchcraft the tribal chief had performed since becoming the tribe's leader. Jennifer's "resurrection" made the tribe even more confident in the tribal chief's witchcraft abilities and made the tribe more united.
The team had originally planned to reach the target location in five days, but now it was the fifth day of entering the rainforest, and the team had only traveled a little more than half the distance.
Although the delay was unavoidable, Mr. Strange was very dissatisfied with it.
Strange directed the team via satellite phone, repeatedly urging them to hurry on their way.
Time was tight, the task was heavy, and the team was under great pressure.

Before the team advanced deeper into the rainforest, the tribal chief specifically asked A’yi and three tribal warriors to guide the team.
A'yi knew the area within a radius of dozens of kilometers around the camp like the back of his hand.
He knew where there were swamps, where there were rivers, and where there were dangers.
With A'yi's help, the team's speed would inevitably increase. If all went well, the team expected to reach the target location in another two days.
Dodge had a lot of shortcomings, he had never been a soldier in any serious way, and he had a natural arrogance about him.
Although Dodge's fighting skills were one of the few things he could boast about, in front of Fatty and (the current) Jennifer, Dodge wasn't even a wooden dummy. After all, a wooden dummy could take more of a beating.
Dodge's hands, which had been infected with venom from poisonous insects, had originally healed, but he insisted on being brave and used his fist to hammer a tree to test the so-called witchcraft.
Even the trees in the rainforest were not to be trifled with. Dodge put all his strength into the punch, and successfully fractured his own wrist.
The team's medical assistant quickly found two wooden boards to make splints, fixed the fractured position of Dodge's wrist, and treated Dodge.
The treatment was timely, and Dodge's wrist fracture did not continue to worsen, but his entire wrist, along with his hand, swelled into a pig's trotter.

In the team's experience in the tribe for the past two days, Fatty became a myth, while Dodge became a joke.
The myth was in front, guiding the way while communicating with A'yi, while the joke was at the end of the team, following the team with his arm hanging.
Dodge's move successfully made him the most marginalized person in the team. Currently, only his Z organization identity allowed Dodge to still have a place in this team.
A'yi was truly as the tribal chief said, a person who knew the rainforest extremely well.
He was very familiar with the environment around the tribe and led Fatty and the others along a relatively safe road.
There were no poisonous weeds, no poisonous insects, and no ferocious beasts on the road, and the team advanced smoothly.
A'yi gave Fatty a few bottles of medicinal powder, telling Fatty that it was made from herbs collected in the tribe. Different medicinal powders had different functions: some were for hemostasis, some were for insect repellent, and some were antidotes for certain poisons.
These medicines were definitely the best medicines in the rainforest, and could solve most of the common and difficult diseases in the rainforest.
Not only that, A'yi also gave Fatty a few herbal balls woven with grass, saying that they were made from a plant that repelled insects and warded off evil spirits, and wearing them could drive away insects and wild animals. https:/
The team walked continuously in the rainforest for most of the day.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the team stopped.
A'yi told Fatty that if they went further, it would no longer be an environment he was familiar with.
The tribe's ancestors had designated the rainforest ahead as a forbidden area, and almost no one in the tribe dared to set foot in it. Even the knowledgeable A'yi didn't know what dangers lay within.
A'yi said that a long time ago, someone in the tribe had broken into the forbidden area, but the people who entered the forbidden area never came out again.
A'yi and the three tribal warriors had to return to the tribe's camp before dark. If they turned back now, they would have just enough time. If they were still in the rainforest after dark, they would face attacks from various predators in the dark.
Fatty and the others expressed their understanding.
You can see a friend off for a thousand miles, but eventually you must say goodbye.
Although A'yi was an uncivilized primitive who showed a fierce and cruel side when dealing with his own kind, he was also a person who was eager to learn and be kind to others.
From the first time A'yi invited the team to visit the camp to later when they fought side by side to eradicate the cannibals, A'yi fully demonstrated his friendly, enthusiastic, and courageous side.
Sometimes, simple and direct is the best way to communicate.

Fatty, Zoe, and Derek were very reluctant to part with A'yi, and even the always indifferent and selfish Dodge came over to hug A'yi.
Fatty gave A'yi a lighter and a bottle of lighter fluid.
Fatty patiently taught A'yi how to use the lighter and how to add fuel.
In this way, A'yi's tribe could make torches or simple campfires on the spot at night without having to laboriously make fire by drilling wood.
A'yi was very grateful to Fatty. He was very reluctant to part with Fatty, knowing that they might never see each other again, and his eyes were filled with tears.
A'yi excitedly gesticulated, telling Fatty and Zoe that if they returned from their adventure, they must return to the tribe to find him, and he would definitely hunt more prey for them to enjoy.
Fatty and Zoe nodded in agreement.
"Goodbye, A'yi."
A'yi learned Fatty's pronunciation and tried to say, "Za... Jin... Ah... Ai..."
"Goodbye."

Zoe repeated it again, teaching A'yi to pronounce it with exaggerated lip movements.
"Zhai... Jian..."
A beginner was already very good to this extent, Zoe thought. If A'yi lived in modern society, he would definitely be a hardworking person.
After the team separated from A'yi, A'yi climbed a tall tree and watched the team leave, until the team disappeared into the layers of dense forest, and also disappeared from A'yi's sight.
