Chapter 263 Forbidden Land

"Okay, we will stay here for about one to two weeks. You all know your respective tasks, so I won't say more."

"You, you, you... and a few of you, follow me to perform other tasks!" Yu Yifeng stood at the front of the team and said seriously.

This is the core area of ​​the indigenous village: a fire pit.

A pile of charcoal fiber-like things burned in the fire pit, baking the surrounding ground hot. Many annoying black insects surrounded the fire pit. They wanted to get close to the heat source, but they smelled the scent of special herbs and were reluctant to fall.

About one or two hundred lizard natives lay lazily on the ground, as if absorbing the heat from the fire pit. At the same time, they raised their heads and looked at Yu Yifeng and others curiously.

Now the first mission goal "Finding the indigenous village" has been completed, and everything is going well.

At this point, people will be divided into two teams. One team will stay in the village to conduct various experiments, such as learning the language of the lizard people, studying their customs and habits, collecting underground biological specimens, etc.

The other team will explore the place where the "three metal nuts" appeared, that is, to explore the "unknown civilization"!

This is a more important task!

Yu Yifeng and a group of experts walked forward and found the lizard leader.

The big lizard was still arguing with the old lizard aggressively. When they saw humans coming, they hurriedly stopped arguing.

Some language experts pointed at the metal nuts on the big lizard's neck, and used the indigenous words they had just learned to make it understand the specific meaning of humans.

Suddenly, a trace of panic flashed across the face of the lizard leader, and it danced and gestured: "Ah, there is black and ah, dark!"

From the expression, it seemed very scared, as if it was talking about something bad.

"What is it saying?" Yu Yifeng asked puzzledly.

The two sides began to talk again, and these linguists had been studying for a long time before they understood the specific meaning that the lizard leader wanted to express.

One of the team leaders said uncertainly: "It's saying: the ornaments hanging around its neck and the related metal cutting tools were all found by their ancestors in the forbidden land."

"...After the ancestors found the treasure, they were cursed by the devil and immediately became ill and died? The remaining ones who didn't die were also cursed and couldn't reproduce."

The expert kept comparing the translation in the computer and said in a serious manner: "That is a forbidden land, where the god of death resides! Anyone who enters will be tortured by illness and die quickly... It should be like this."

Forbidden land? What is this?

Yu Yifeng, who takes materialism as his core thought, would never believe in these gods and ghosts.

Looking at the panicked expression of the lizard, Yu Yifeng thought for a while and said directly: "We are all messengers of the gods, so what are we afraid of the god of death? Just let it take us directly, and then we will give it a gift, and... we will never let it die!"

As he said, he waved his hand, and a soldier behind him brought over a thick suitcase.

Of course, what was placed inside was not money, but gifts carefully prepared by humans...

Gifts for the indigenous people!

Knives, lighters, and some foldable metal spears!

These things, under the blazing firelight, shone with a beautiful metallic luster, and the lizardman leader and the old chief behind him were directly fascinated.

They didn't understand what it was, but they were so fascinated by it that a series of saliva flowed directly to the ground.

Anyway... it must be a good thing!

The two lizards reached out to grab it woodenly, but were stopped by a soldier.

Yu Yifeng smiled and took a lighter from the box to demonstrate. With a "click", a small flame came out of the lighter.

In an instant, the group of lizards were frightened and pointed at the flames one by one!

"Sell big secret! (fire)"

"Sell big secret! (fire)"

They have been frightened too much during this period, and now they seem numb. One of the young lizards curiously reached out his hand to touch the flame of the lighter, and was burned and rolled on the ground, as flexible as a twisting snake.

But no one paid any attention to it, everyone was staring at the flame curiously.

Two lighters, one was given to the chief, and the other was thrown to the lizard leader...

They were a little panicked when they used it at first, fearing that the flame would burn them.

But soon they found the beauty of it, "click, click" non-stop, and laughed like a fool.

"Sell big secret! (Fire)"

The surrounding lizards looked at it with envy, fire, this is fire!

Flame has always been something that the lizard natives can't understand. It can bring light and heat, and even warm life. It is their most precious wealth. But this group of lizards can't completely control the flame, nor do they understand how fire is produced.

But now, the small flame is restrained on the lighter. Is this the power of the gods?

"Lighter, this is called a lighter." A linguistics expert demonstrated.

"Big live chicken!"

The lizardman leader suddenly shouted enthusiastically. There was no such word in the native language. It just learned human language.

"Lighter! It's a lighter!"

"Big live chicken! Big live chicken!" Even the old lizard screamed crazily. This is really a gift from the gods. It's so awesome. It no longer has any doubts in its heart.

Plus the sharp knives and metal spears... enough!

The gods are too generous. Besides, the orders of the gods cannot be disobeyed!

... Even if it means death!

A group of lizards discussed enthusiastically for a while, and then decided to send out several of the strongest warriors and the lizard leader.

They went back to pack their luggage, and were fully armed with large and small bags. Then they performed a travel ceremony, making it look very solemn, and then officially set off.

Yu Yifeng looked at them covered in leather clothes and packed with food, and asked in confusion: "Wait a minute, ask them to point out the direction. Do they need to cross the surface? And ask how long it takes to go there?"

Another round of communication...

The language team leader said with a headache: "They said that they need to cross the harsh surface to reach the forbidden land. But they don't have a concept of time yet. They said they need to eat... 40-50 meals. According to our calculations, 40 meals will take about, uh... 30 days to travel."

Yu Yifeng was shocked. It will take a month to walk. Isn't it too slow?

"Show them the satellite map and see if they can understand it. If they can, we will take an airship to go there." Yu Yifeng thought for a while and said.

The expert could only communicate with the tablet in confusion.

So far, the language problem is still a big problem. People have not fully understood the language of the lizard natives. But fortunately, their language is composed of words, which is very similar to human English, so it is still very fast to learn.

The language team leader gestured for a long time and found that these lizards had no concept of maps, directions, etc. in their minds. It was too difficult to make them understand in a short time, so they could only use the method of elimination.

Many lizards surrounded the scientist and flipped through pictures one after another. These were all flat cameras taken by ground reconnaissance machines. These lizards could not understand maps at all, so they could only use this stupid method.

If these photos happened to capture their "forbidden places", humans could find them by themselves.

"Ah! Ah!"

Suddenly, a lizard screamed, and the others followed and pointed excitedly.

Yu Yifeng walked over curiously and saw that the photo on the tablet was a dead volcano, about... 600 kilometers away from here!

It seems that this is their destination, which is really far away!
