Under Fang Senyan's warning, the sailors on the ship who wholeheartedly submitted to him deeply believed in his words, and most of them gave up the idea of going ashore. Some people did enter the village to enjoy themselves, but they really didn't leave the village area.

Then, Fang Senyan called over the core members of the ship and said that in order to remove the curse on himself, he had to venture deep into Africa to explore, and also to investigate whether there were any diamond or gold mines. The three of them had immortal talismans made by oriental術士 (shùshì, Taoist priests), which could both ward off evil and allow them to escape at critical moments. Therefore, after they completed the transaction, they could return directly to the Caribbean without waiting.

At this time, the crew was already used to their boss's unpredictable behavior, and they also knew that Fang Senyan could contact them through that mysterious and powerful Advent ability, so they had no objections. They followed Fang Senyan's instructions and went to trade with the natives.

At this time, the nature of the Dingyuan had slowly transformed into the most typical armed merchant ship of the British Age of Exploration, mainly transporting special products, supplemented by robbery and exploration. This was also the inevitable process for pirates to whitewash their image, and most of the pirates agreed with both hands. In such a harmonious atmosphere, the two sides quickly completed the transaction. The local chieftain then held a large-scale banquet to thank their gods for sending these messengers who came from afar... or rather, these foolish fat sheep, who used very useful things to exchange for those useless shiny stones (diamonds) and dried grass (tobacco and spices). The things they traded could even quickly strengthen a tribe!

At this time, about half an hour had passed. The three considered that they still had to cherish time, after all, they didn't know what kind of situation they would encounter on the road, so they prepared to start as soon as possible.

Fang Senyan had already started walking towards the outside of the village for seven or eight meters, but he stopped. He stood in place and thought about it again, then made a gesture to Mogansha and Reef, who were striding forward, signaling them to stop. Then he stopped and walked back and forth in place a few times, calling them over and saying.

"Wait a minute."

As he spoke, Fang Senyan called the old sea dog over and whispered a few words. The old sea dog immediately pulled a few natives over to inquire, and these honest guys all shook their heads at the same time.

Seeing this scene, Fang Senyan said to the black brother and Reef: "My friends, I think we should stay and enjoy the hospitality of these welcoming residents of Kum Port."

Reef wondered: "Why? If we arrive early, I think there should still be a reward, right?"

Fang Senyan said seriously: "Have you considered why this place is only a mere hundred kilometers away from the entrance, and why they gave us ten hours of buffer time? For contractors, this journey would take at most five hours. You have to know! The difficulty there is probably at least A-level for us! How could there be such huge and generous conditions?"

Reef frowned and said: "Could it be that there are great difficulties on this road that will delay us for at least five hours?"

Speaking of this, Reef's eyes were already filled with anxiety as he looked at Fang Senyan: "Then we have to hurry! Otherwise, if we return empty-handed from this world, we will have to face the metal mentor and the growing Radiant Team's pincer attack in at most two or three more worlds! I'm afraid things will really be ominous!"

Fang Senyan nodded and said lightly: "The metal mentor is not to be feared, but that Zeus is indeed a formidable enemy, but don't worry, we are in apparent danger but actually safe."

Reef's originally anxious mood gradually calmed down with these few words from Fang Senyan. He took a deep breath and said: "Then let's start quickly!"

Fang Senyan still stood in place, staring intently at the natives' huts: "This time we entered the hidden world, it can be said that we have disrupted the Radiant Team's arrangements, causing the Radiant Team's long-accumulated punch to suddenly lose its target. But have you ever thought about it, the Radiant Team's tracking ability requires a huge cost, and it cannot be retracted once it is launched. If they cannot pursue us, who will these mad dogs target?"

Mogansha and Reef's bodies shook violently at the same time: "Could it be..."

Fang Senyan rubbed his brow for a while, and his thick black eyebrows raised: "That's right, the Illuminati... this time it's likely to be a bad situation."

Both of their hearts immediately trembled. Reef and Mogansha were not mediocre people to begin with. After Fang Senyan pointed it out, they had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. They chewed on Fang Senyan's deliberately emphasized words "likely to be a bad situation" for a while, and for a moment, they felt a sense of shared sorrow. After a while, they said with a bitter voice: "This... is there no possibility that Zeus and the others will fail?"

"The possibility is not great," Fang Senyan said lightly. "After all, the Illuminati, which was just split and severely damaged in the Avatar world, has lost its vitality and will not recover so easily. This time, Zi may survive, but the entire Illuminati is in danger."

At this time, the old sea dog walked to Fang Senyan's side and said a few more words. Fang Senyan nodded slightly, stared at the sky for a while, and suddenly said: "Reef, your assumption just now is not valid. The old sea dog has already inquired. There is nothing dangerous on the road from here to the swamp. Although this tribe has only moved to the port recently, they have lived in this area for decades. Most of the beasts distributed here have been hunted. Therefore, most of their food sources are plant roots and fish. There are not many beasts."

"Could it be that there is something strange and secretive in this village?" Black brother suddenly said.

"So they left us five hours to check?" Fang Senyan nodded slightly.

"That's what I think too. Fortunately, we have five hours of free time. I have thought it through very clearly. If we save these five hours, we will only be rewarded with 10 hours of free stay. But if we use five hours to find out the reason, we may gain nothing, but we may also discover some hidden clues. What do you think?"

Mogansha and Reef naturally had no objections. From the moment Fang Senyan saw this place, he always felt that a vague but crucial idea appeared in his mind, but it was still hazy and difficult to grasp!

At this time, after discussing it with his teammates, he immediately felt that the extremely critical key idea was about to emerge, only separated by a thin layer of paper. After thinking hard, Fang Senyan still couldn't figure it out, so he prepared to check around.

At this time, the celebration in Kum Port was also ready, and people from the surrounding tribes had also gathered. These tribes would only engage in war at specific times to determine the ownership of the blessed land of Kum Port. After the battle was over, they would roast the corpses of each other and eat them, and then continue to live in harmony at other times.

At this time, the purpose of the people from the other tribes gathering here was firstly to participate in the celebration under the pretext of "my family has vinegar, lend me some dumplings" to freeload, and secondly, they knew that the tribe occupying Kum Port today had mostly gained a lot of benefits, so they demanded that they share some, and by the way, see if these foreigners had any more goods. Therefore, the scale of this bonfire party was also very large.

Seeing the men of the tribe carrying a large zebra that was tightly bound up, and then surrounding it in a circle and shouting and dancing loudly, probably some herbs with [exciting] effects were added to the burning bonfire. Therefore, when the祭祀 (jìsì, sacrificial ceremony) reached its climax, the natives' eyes began to turn red, and it seemed that a surging killing intent was brewing. They were roaring hoarsely.

At this time, the chieftain of the tribe strode to the front. Originally stroking the head of the zebra, his hands unconsciously tightened. The horse felt pain and let out a long, miserable cry, struggling non-stop. A native in the back was caught off guard and was almost kicked by the zebra's hind hoof. In his anger, he shouted some monotonous syllables angrily, stubbornly pressed down on the innocent horse's hind leg, raised the stone axe, and chopped it off from the horse's body in an incomparably miserable long hiss!

The blood splashed like rain, quickly dyeing the surrounding ground bright red. Under the light of the constantly jumping flames, there was an evil, strange, and tragic atmosphere. Faced with this sudden situation, the chieftain was obviously very dissatisfied with the native's performance. He looked expressionlessly at the panting native until he began to avoid his gaze. Only then did he coldly say: "Mbenga, do you want to ruin our celebration?"

The native roared something angrily, but when he saw the chieftain raise his snake staff, his eyes suddenly flickered, and immediately became dim. He looked at the warm blood still dripping from his hand, no longer spoke, but put on a very brutal grin beside his mouth. Then he was escorted down by the tribesmen.

What followed was nothing more than killing the horse, roasting the meat, and the drink was of course the rum that had just been imported from the Dingyuan. As the captain of the Dingyuan, Fang Senyan could sit on an equal footing with the chieftain and was also warmly received.

Although the zebra that was killed was also very fat, it couldn't stand the large number of people. Each person only got a small piece of horse meat. Fang Senyan noticed that some people roasted it and ate it, while some natives ate it raw.

Their staple food was a thick paste that was cooked, and it looked black and dirty. After stirring it, it showed various colors, and it tasted relatively sweet. This thing was only available to honored guests. It was corn flour, cassava flour, bean flour, vegetables, and tomatoes, mixed with water and cooked into cakes or paste. Because the colors of each ingredient were different, the finished product was colorful, and it was called bu wu sÈ fan (five-color rice). (To be continued.!.
