A Yi stopped Fatty. A Yi said that they couldn't see Jennifer yet, because the witchcraft ritual wasn't over and they had to wait until dawn the next morning. Otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain.

Therefore, leaving Jennifer in the open air overnight was the fourth step of the entire ritual. Only after these four steps were completed could the entire witchcraft be considered complete.

Fatty looked at Jennifer from afar and felt that the rise and fall of Jennifer's chest was getting smaller and smaller. If he didn't take some remedial measures, Jennifer wouldn't be able to make it through the night.

"Can't we even take a look?"

Fatty was a little annoyed.

But A Yi's attitude was very firm. If the ritual was to be performed, they had to wait until it was over before visiting. Otherwise, it would be disrespect to the tribe's gods.

Zoe quickly pulled Fatty away and told him privately, "They won't let us see, and they definitely won't look themselves. We'll wait until they fall asleep at night and then go take a look."

A look of worry appeared on Fatty's face. He said to Zoe, "If something happens to Jennifer, wouldn't we be indirectly killing her? What are we going to do..."

The main thing was that they didn't believe that the tribal leader could really save Jennifer's life, but because of the superstition in the tribe, they couldn't take any rescue measures for Jennifer.

Fatty therefore blamed himself very much.

Zoe tried hard to find a way to save Jennifer.

"Hey, that's right! We can..."

Zoe suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She looked around to make sure no one was there, and then whispered something into Fatty's ear.

Fatty's eyes lit up: "How come I didn't think of that!"

However, after thinking about it, he hesitated again.

"But..."

In any case, a human life was at stake. Jennifer had saved their lives many times. Considering this, Fatty gritted his teeth and thought, *Little Yu, I'm sorry.*

...

The Dodge team didn't choose to stay in the accommodation provided by the tribal camp. They always felt that the beds in the tribe were not clean and might have fleas or other insects, so they chose to set up their own tents.

The tribe only ate two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. They went to bed very early at night and didn't eat.

The Dodge team was miserable. They were so hungry at night that they couldn't sleep. Fortunately, Derek still had a pile of roasted snake jerky, so Dodge and the others shared it.

Fatty and Zoe were so hungry that they couldn't stand it, but they resolutely refused to eat snake meat, so they ate some dry compressed biscuits and waited for the opportunity in the tent.

After the tribal leader threw the wood grain piece into the bonfire, he added a lot of new firewood. The bonfire would not go out all night.

At midnight, the tribe's night watchmen patrolled the outskirts of the camp.

No one was near the bonfire.

In the dark night, two figures, one large and one small, quietly sneaked near the bonfire.

One of them reached out and felt Jennifer's pulse, and was startled. His voice was very low: "Damn, I can't feel her pulse..."

The other person followed suit, and also couldn't feel her pulse.

Then two voices murmured——

"Hiss, do you think this will work?"

"Let's try it. If we don't do anything, she'll really die."

"Well, this was originally for..., forget it, I won't say it..."

...

The two figures busied themselves beside Jennifer for a while, and then quietly left.

The next day dawned, and Fatty and Zoe were the first to appear beside Jennifer. The bonfire was about to go out. One of the two leaves covering Jennifer's chest was blown away by the wind. Fatty quickly found a piece of clothing to cover Jennifer.

Although Jennifer was still unconscious and her breathing and heartbeat were still very weak, her chest had obvious ups and downs, her face had a blood color, and her whole person gradually had vitality.

The women of the tribe used clean water to wash away the reddish-brown powder on Jennifer's body, washed Jennifer's body clean, and then handed Jennifer over to Zoe. Zoe put clothes on Jennifer.

Dodge was puzzled when he saw that Jennifer was showing signs of improvement.

Dodge thought to himself, *Jennifer was originally a person who was about to die, but she was saved by a barbaric tribal ritual. An aboriginal danced around Jennifer, and Jennifer came back to life?*

This was truly a great wonder of the world.

Perhaps these aborigines in the primitive tribe really had some kind of magic?

Dodge looked down at his injured hand and thought, *Why not let them take a look at my hand? Maybe they can heal it.*

But Dodge thought again that he would have to lie naked in the open wilderness all night, he hesitated. He looked at his hand again and felt that it didn't hurt that much, so he nipped the idea in the bud.

The tribal leader saved Jennifer, and Fatty said that he wanted to give back to the tribe and planned to personally cook breakfast for the people of the tribe.

Dodge swallowed wildly when he heard that Fatty was going to cook, and his eyes were full of stars.

Fatty adapted to local conditions and used the tribe's animal oil, dried meat, a small amount of wild fruits, and wild peppers, supplemented by his own seasonings, and he really made a delicious dish.

One dish was not enough for dozens of people to share.

Fatty also used the wild rice collected by the tribe to make fried rice after steaming it. The dry and astringent rice actually became a high-quality fried rice with beautiful color, aroma, and taste in Fatty's hands. The people in the tribe had never eaten such delicious fried rice. They had never even eaten fried rice before. They all grabbed the rice with their bare hands, and even picked up the rice grains that fell on the ground and blew off the dirt before eating them.

The compressed food brought by the team's expedition also became a rare delicacy in the tribe. The tribe even took out a lot of dried meat to exchange for compressed food and military rations with the team.
