Savannah, Sanman tribe.

Under the starry night sky, a bonfire was lit in the Shengman tribe.

The younger generation of the tribe led by Chara successfully snatched food from the lion's mouth and officially completed their coming-of-age ceremony. At this moment, a celebration ceremony was underway in the tribe.

In the open space in the center of the tribe, the trophies of this time, four wildebeests, were strung on the bonfire. The chief of the tribe was holding a stone bowl filled with blood, muttering something in his mouth, dipping his index finger in the blood from time to time, and blessing and blessing this batch of warriors in turn.

coronation.

All around, enthusiastic indigenous people sang and danced, celebrating the birth of new warriors with primitive dances.

The three photographers who were rescued this time were also smiling, photographing this scene and recording the sacred moment of the Shengman tribe.

The coming-of-age ceremony is still going on, and the last person to receive the chief's blessing is the ancestral leopard warrior "Charla".

The chief walked up to him, and Chara immediately lowered his head, waiting for the blessing to come.

The chief dipped his index finger in the stone bowl, drew a circle on Chara's forehead, then turned around and shouted loudly:

"The final blessing is given to me, the youngest ancestral leopard warrior of the Saint Man tribe, and the strongest warrior of the Saint Man tribe, Chara!"

As the chief's words fell, the tribe suddenly boiled, and all the indigenous residents began to cheer, offering their blessings and enthusiasm to this ancestral leopard warrior.

At this moment, the three photographers present also had smiles on their faces.

In this new era, it is precious to see such ancient rituals.

The carnival of the Shengman tribe also started at this moment.

The three photographers also put aside the barriers in their hearts and blended into the high atmosphere of the Shengman tribe to celebrate the coming of age ceremony of Chala and others.

The carnival lasted until 2 o'clock in the morning.

During this period, various programs continued, such as wrestling between warriors, blessings from tribal priests, etc...

The ancient culture of the Shengman tribe gave the three photographers the illusion of traveling to the tribal era.

At this moment, the three photographers had an idea in their minds.

They came to the African savannah originally to photograph the great migration of the wildebeest tribe, but in comparison, it is obvious that the customs of the Shengman tribe are far more attractive than the migration of wildebeest.

Once this thought appeared, it could not be erased, so after the carnival, the leading photographer Jack found the chief of the Shengman tribe and proposed the idea of ​​staying to take photos and record the life of the tribe.

In order to show his sincerity, Jack expressed to the tribal chief that he was willing to provide a sum of money to support the development of the tribe.

The chief did not refuse this request and readily agreed.

This undoubtedly made Jack and others very happy. After spending the night in the tribe, they drove their rented RV to the Saint Man tribe the next day.

This RV is the supply station where Jack and others came to the prairie to shoot. There are many equipment and food supplies stored inside.

After that, Jack and others settled down in the Shengman tribe and took pictures to record the life of the Shengman people.

Soon, Jack and others became familiar with the people of the Shengman tribe.

As time passed, Jack kept a diary every day, recording what he saw and heard. At the same time, he took the initiative to contact the people of the Shengman tribe to learn about the ancient living customs preserved by the tribe.

Jack had a vague feeling that this documentary about the Saint Man tribe would be a hit, and he was extremely serious about its production.

However, as the contact deepened, Jack discovered something that confused him very much.

That is, "Chara", known as the Ancestral Leopard Warrior in the tribe, is very different from other members of the tribe.

This ancestral leopard warrior is not so much a human being, Jack feels that it is more appropriate to describe him as a beast.

With speed and strength far exceeding that of humans, and even the intuition of beasts, Chara's mystery deeply attracted Jack.

In addition to being curious, Jack wanted to know more about this ancestral leopard warrior and his secrets.

On this point, Jack first asked the tribe residents, hoping to get some useful information from them.

However, their answers were all unanimous. They all said that it was the ancestral totem "Ancestral Leopard" of the Shengman tribe that gave Chara the power to protect the continuation of the tribe.

Jack felt helpless for this answer.

After all, it's the 24th century, and he believes in science. He doesn't believe in this kind of rhetoric that completely deifies the ancestors.

However, in Jack's view, this ancestral leopard warrior is an important part of the documentary, and he must understand this person carefully.

So in the next few days, Jack went out of his way to approach Chara and take the initiative to talk to her.

It has to be said that Chala's appearance is very different from that of the people of the Shengman tribe.

He is nearly two meters tall, with solid muscles all over his body and a strong aura. Especially in the sun, his dark muscles seem to be made of steel, exuding a wild aura.

When he came face to face with Chara, Jack felt like he was facing a ferocious beast, and he was a little frightened.

However, Chara was not hostile to Jack and did not resist Jack's proactive contact.

Because Jack gave the tribe a sum of money that could be used to exchange goods with the outside world, as the guardian of the tribe, he thanked Jack from the bottom of his heart.

On this day, Jack once again found Chara sitting on the big stone at the entrance of the tribe, sitting cross-legged and eyes closed, facing the sun.

"Charla, good morning!" Jack, holding a pen and paper in hand, took the lead in saying hello.

After hearing this, Chara opened her eyes. Even if it wasn't the first time she saw him, the fierce and aggressive eyes still startled Jack.

"Hello, Jack!" Chara responded awkwardly, obviously not used to this way of greeting.

At this time, Jack skillfully climbed up the boulder and sat opposite Chara:

"Charla, today I want to know something about your ancestral totem 'Ancestral Leopard'. Is it convenient for you to chat with me?"

Chara didn't answer, just nodded. He was already used to Jack's daily harassment.

During this period, Jack basically interviewed him for about an hour every day. Although Chara was helpless, she still chose to accept it.

"Please start!" At this time, Jack opened the notebook and said, holding the pen holder.

Chara nodded:

"The Ancestral Leopard is the totem of our clan and the patron saint of our tribe when it was founded. It is precisely because of the existence of the Ancestral Leopard that the then weak Shengman tribe was able to thrive on this prairie and gradually grow!"

Swish, swish... After Jack recorded what Chara said, he raised his head and asked:

"I would like to ask, is the Ancestral Leopard an... ancient creature?" When he asked this question, Jack suddenly became timid, fearing that what he said would violate the taboos of the Shengman tribe, and then be beaten by the man in front of him.

The Ancestral Leopard Warrior was torn alive.

Regarding this question, Chara showed no resistance and nodded:

"It was once the top predator on this prairie, one of the most powerful overlords. It had a long lifespan, was nearly immortal, and had extremely powerful strength. Its speed was like lightning, and its claws could

Tear apart all enemies who dare to provoke it!"

Although he recorded these words, Jack didn't think so.

I simply don't recognize the existence of this kind of creature in my heart.

In Jack's opinion, Chara's description is completely exaggerated. He has a long lifespan and is almost immortal, and he is as fast as lightning. It's like being in a fantasy movie.

Of course, you still have to have at least some respect, and he doesn't have the guts to make a move.

At this time, Chara suddenly said with a strange expression:

"Jack, don't you believe what I said!"

"No, I believe it!" Jack was startled and immediately expressed that he absolutely believed it.

"I have been exposed to the lives of you outsiders, so I understand your thoughts and know that you don't believe in this kind of thing, but I must tell you that Zubao really exists, and it is it that gives me great power!"

Looking at Chara with a solemn expression, Jack felt ashamed. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and asked:

"Charla, before I came to the prairie, I knew about this prairie. In the existing data, there are no records of creatures like the ancestral leopard at all. No fossils or traces of survival have been found!

"

When he said these words, Jack leaned back and prepared for a beating.

However, at this time Chara sighed:

"There is only one Ancestral Leopard, so of course you can't find its fossil. Moreover, the Ancestral Leopard just abandoned its body. The real one still exists in our tribe!"

Jack was a little confused after hearing these words. What does it mean to abandon one's body but still be alive?

Seemingly seeing Jack's doubts, Chara continued:

"According to the stories passed down from generation to generation by the Shengman tribe, the ancestor leopard began to age little by little due to the changes in the world. Until finally, the ancestor leopard told my ancestors that its body could no longer absorb the energy from the outside world to support its operation.

Therefore, Zubao chose to abandon his body and choose to stay in the Shengman tribe in the form of a soul!"

"What do you mean, Zubao is still in the tribe!" Thinking of this, Jack asked quickly.

"Yes!" Chara said without hesitation.

"Where is it? Can you take me to see it?" Jack's curiosity suddenly overflowed. In this industry, he has an extremely sensitive sense of smell for any selling point material. If he can discover a new species, then he will go down in history.

Already.

Although I don’t believe in the idea of ​​abandoning the body and living in the form of a soul, this legend is a selling point. It would be perfect if we could find the remains of ancient creatures that we have never seen before.

"No, Zubao is a sacred patron saint, and only warriors of the Holy Man tribe who are recognized by it can meet it!" Charla immediately rejected Jack's request.

This undoubtedly disappointed Jack.
