After Welf left, Zhou Jiping was stuck with the issue of studying how to obtain diamonds with Elder Givayo. Obviously, Elder Givayo had a lot of things in his mind, so Zhou Jiping could only wait quietly for him to know that this seemed to be.
The silly old man is not as rough as his appearance, and he actually sees many things clearly. If he has some concerns, he must have his own reasons.
"It is definitely too late to go to Singida to find the tears of the Ancestral Dragon in this season. You have to wait until the water in the rainy season completely recedes. If you go to the underwater temple to get it, you will only take risks, but that's very
Dangerous things, are you really ready?" Givayo seemed very worried
Sinjda is a valley south of Englo, where the Sinj River will rush down some diamonds from the mountain. The Damon people started from their ancestors and were the Chief Kogivayo who obtained the diamonds from there, right now
It must be too late to send someone to the Xinji River to find diamonds
After all, diamonds will not be like crops in the fields around Soyo. If Welf has agreed with Lila and Zhou Jiping has not collected all the things they need, it will delay the big thing.
But if Zhou Jiping went to the Zulong Temple alone to pick it up, Elder Jiwayo was also very worried. After all, no one had done it before. The more unknown the things are, the more dangerous it is.
"Future and honor are in danger!" Zhou Jiping made up his mind. After all, this is a good opportunity. If you don't have a chance, you will have no chance.
"Okay" It seems that Zhou Jiping made up his mind. Elder Givayo no longer insisted. This cooperation is a chance for Damon and the tribes on the entire grassland. It is a pity to let it go.
On the fifteenth day after the dry season began, the fifth day after Welfe left, a special team left Soyo Town and walked straight to the southeast of Soyo to more than 100 kilometers southeast.
There is a tropical rainforest. Walking through the tropical rainforest and then east, walking through a mountain with complex terrain, the blue sea - there is the destination of their trip
The team going east is huge, with a total number of nearly fifty people. Condala, Duka and Zube all joined the team and arranged so many people. Elder Jivayo told Zhou Jiping that they would wait for the return trip.
He knew it was necessary
The more the group went east, the more mountains, the denser the forest, and the more the air brought some oceanic climate, and the excitement of discovering diamonds. Under the leadership of Duka and others, Zhou Jiping, the fourth
The weather is on the edge of the tropical rainforest
The winds of ten miles are different, and the environments of grasslands and rainforests are completely different. If you feel the typical heat of the dry season in Africa when walking on the grasslands, as soon as you enter the hot rainforest, Zhou Jiping feels the humidity and comfort of the tropical rainforest.
From the feeling, Zhou Jiping felt that the climate here was very similar to that of the Englo Valley, but it was a little wettering here. When asked about Duka and Condara, Zhou Jiping's judgment was confirmed: it was less than three days from here to the north.
The journey is Enbango Valley
"It turns out that there are all such forests in the eastern part of the Imala grassland." Walking in the rain forest, Kongdala explained to Zhou Jiping.
"Oh, is that?" Zhou Jiping was also curious. Kongdala rarely said anything.
"Yes, about three hundred years ago, the whites came here and took away many tribesmen, and then cut down and burned large areas of forests. Then the war lasted for hundreds of years, until the whites found that they could not completely eliminate them.
In the mountains and forests, they could not adapt to the various diseases that could be obtained through the grasslands. They gave up on this place in custom, with the Natney River as the boundary. The voice of Condara was like a distant one.
It seems to be coming from the sky, with a sense of historical vicissitudes
"According to the old people, when they were fighting with white people, the white people attacked with guns during the day and waited until the night and rainy season, and the grassland was the Damon people. When the white people suffered heavy losses, they had to retreat." Duka took the initiative to answer Zhou
Ji Ping said, it seems very relaxed
"The whites are still very despicable! Seeing that they could not beat us, they deliberately gave us a lot of gifts, all of which were clothes, and those things such as fabrics were not many. The tribal chief at that time didn't know there was a fraud here, so he took them away.
After that, the disease soon spread among the tribes. Most of the tribes died, and the combat effectiveness of the Damon tribe was greatly reduced. Otherwise, the area north of Natene would be north of
The white people can't occupy it." Duka's tone became more angry as he marched in the rain forest.
"No wonder the elders of each tribe have so much resistance to cooperating with white people. It turns out that there is such a thing." Zhou Jiping understood. It turns out that white people have used despicable moves such as bacterial warfare in such a situation. In this case, Damon people need to be
It is really difficult to believe in white people with the tribes of the grassland
"But we also know that this time, you have to cooperate with the whites. If Damon wants to survive, he must take this risk." Kongdara took the initiative to explain to Zhou Jiping, "What's more, the big chief is also full of whites.
alert"
"Yes, now it's different from hundreds of years ago. The white people have stronger power. If Damon is not strong, it would be impossible to defeat the white people with spears and bows alone. The Bushmans in front of us, so we
Can't deal with it," Duka also agreed
While everyone was talking, they crossed a mountain. The rainforest in front of them suddenly became dense and looked at the dense forest. Only then did Zhou Jiping realize that the real rainforest in front of him was the real rainforest, and the place he had just walked was just a buffer.
Just a woodland
Only when you really walk into the rainforest can Zhou Jiping feel that this place is simply two completely different worlds. There is no dryness in the air here, so cool that it seems that you can taste the fragrance of water. There is no road between the rainforest. People who are leading the way in front of you are walking.
I'll have to change it once a while ago, otherwise I won't even have the strength to wield the machete to open the road
This is because the tribe now uses materials from used cars and has made many wooden long knives under the conditions of using spears to open the road in the past, so the speed of everyone's travel should be slower.
Zhou Jiping, who was a scout, had a strong observation ability and could tell that there was a way under his feet, but those crazy-growing vine plants grew very fast, and it didn't take long to walk the road once.
The newborn crawler would block the road tightly. If it weren't for Duca and others leading the way, outsiders wouldn't be able to find this passage in and out of the rainforest. I think this road has been taken by Damon more than once.
Dong, Dong, Dong... In the green forest ahead, there was a continuous knocking sound suddenly coming.
