Chapter 92

Apart from the senior, the cannibal tribe had no education, and they didn’t notice anything strange about the name "Biyoutifo Tribe."

The tribe leader only thought, "Why is your tribe name so complicated?"

And then, "I’ve never heard of it."

Audience: That’s because you’ve never heard of it.

Tang Tian: To be honest, as one-quarter of this tribe, she just found out that their tribe is called this.

The beautiful tribe leader, Shi Jian, silently cursed in her heart. If there were a name conflict, that would be troublesome. Under the cannibal tribe leader’s suspicious gaze, she remained calm and took out her prepared script.

"Our Biyoutifo Tribe is far from here."

Shi Jian started smoothly, giving an introduction about their Biyoutifo Tribe. They were rich in talent, and besides being skilled in using poisons, the most important thing about them was their affinity for Biyoutifo.

They were rich in talent, but including Shi Jian, there were only four of them.

The cannibal tribe leader wasn’t very interested in the situation of Shi Jian’s tribe. He finally got to the point, "What do you mean by using poisons to control humans? How do I know you're not lying?"

Shi Jian appeared sincere, "I’m not lying." But she was deceiving the monsters.

"I can demonstrate it to you."

Shi Jian explained, "I can use a special poison on a human, and after being poisoned, they will walk right into a trap, coming directly to us."

The cannibal tribe leader looked at her with disbelief. Could something like this even exist?

Shi Jian was about to demonstrate. While talking, she secretly took out a spirit pet ball and released the Bride Ghost.

When the Bride Ghost appeared at the entrance of the cannibal tribe, there was a moment of confusion, but she didn’t hesitate long. She immediately saw Shi Jian smiling in the distance.

The Bride Ghost had no distractions, her only focus was Shi Jian, and she ran toward Shi Jian as if she were sprinting a hundred meters.

Just as she was about to strike at Shi Jian, she was inevitably recalled by Shi Jian again.

Shi Jian maintained her smile, but internally she was a bit nervous: Come on in!

After finishing the demonstration, Shi Jian told the shocked cannibal tribe leader, "That’s roughly the effect."

The cannibal tribe leader didn’t realize that the Bride Ghost wasn’t human. He only saw a person suddenly appear and then quickly rush toward the Biyoutifo Tribe leader.

The effect was so powerful that it wasn’t just walking into a trap. It was more like the person was eager to throw themselves into the trap, fearing they might not make it in time.

It was as if the Biyoutifo Tribe leader had a magnet on them.

This poison is this powerful?!

The cannibal tribe leader could already imagine that if he could master this poison technique, or if the other side could use it for him, hundreds or thousands of pieces of human meat would rush toward him...

That scene... so satisfying.

The cannibal tribe leader couldn’t help but start swallowing his saliva, with a sense of urgency confirming, "Would it work on other humans too?"

Shi Jian nodded, "Yes."

After showing off a bit in front of everyone, and after the cannibal tribe leader’s mind was full of humans rushing to him, Shi Jian suddenly adopted a stance as if she were about to leave.

Her expression grew colder as she sighed."We, the Biyoutifo Tribe, sincerely wish to establish a mutually beneficial cooperation with your tribe. This leader even came in person... but your actions have deeply disappointed me."

The last word was emphasized.

"Since this is the case, I won’t force it anymore. I’ll just take the poison technique that controls humans and return to our own tribe."

With that, Shi Jian waved to Tang Tian and the others. "Let’s go."

If Shi Jian had rushed to leave, the cannibal tribe leader might still have had doubts, but when Shi Jian showed her anger and appeared ready to leave, any remaining doubts the leader had were completely dispelled.

Cannibal Tribe Leader: She has already demonstrated her strength in front of so many tribe members. Such a powerful meat-attracting weapon cannot be allowed to leave.

So, the cannibal tribe leader quickly called out to Shi Jian, "Don’t go!"

His expression changed immediately. He became enthusiastic and announced:

"Our Cannibal Tribe agrees to cooperate with your Biyoutifo Tribe. You are the most honored guests of our tribe!"

The cannibal tribe had intelligence, but not much.

…

[“I love watching the streamer say nonsense with such confidence. Her expression and tone are so firm, even with God’s perspective, I’d believe it. Can’t really say the cannibal tribe lacks intelligence now.”]

[“Her acting level is just like that of a popular actress. Her psychological quality is top-notch. If it were someone else, it’d be hard to even discuss cooperation with the cannibal tribe leader, right?”]

[“Bride Ghost has really done a great job!”]

[“I watched the entire stream... Is this even possible? Normally, a Bride Ghost like this, wanting to consume its master, would be useless elsewhere, but Shi Jian somehow uses her this way.”]

As a human-shaped cooling tool, it could delay time, and now she was even being used for the poison technique.

The audience applauded, "Using everything to its fullest potential, that's the way to go with Shi Jian!"

[“What kind of poison is this? Is it a bamboo shoot poison?”]

Shi Jian uses dancing as an enticing trap for men, and herself as a trap for the Bride Ghost. The latter’s effect is all due to Shi Jian’s manipulation.

…

Shi Jian exchanged a glance with Tang Tian and the others, all of them excited.

It’s done!

But it was only halfway successful. They still had to keep pushing forward.

Earlier, some viewers felt that Shi Jian and her group had been quite bold just by sneaking into the cannibal tribe, but now, Shi Jian was walking proudly right into the cannibal tribe’s lair.

And the cannibal tribe leader was personally guiding them.

The cannibal tribe leader gave Shi Jian a tour of their tribe, and as they walked, he kept asking her how to perform the poison technique on humans, even at one point wanting to eat the Bride Ghost.

"Could that person from earlier be eaten?"

Cannibal Tribe Leader: He saw the person already, can't let that go to waste!

Tang Tian and the other two streamers: "..."

Shi Jian coldly and mercilessly told him, "No, she’s been poisoned with many toxins, her flesh and blood are poisonous."The Cannibal Tribe leader looked disappointed, wondering why the Biyoutifo Tribe liked to ruin such delicious meat.

But then he thought about how soon he would have countless fresh human meat, and he felt better.

He also remembered to ask, "What does your tribe want to cooperate with us on?"

Shi Jian and the others were offering to control humans with poison and promised to provide endless human meat. What did they want in return?

Shi Jian replied, "I am cultivating a beauty-enhancing elixir and need to collect various rare flowers and herbs. We have already gathered all the plants near our tribe, and now we need to collect them from this area. We would like to stay in your tribe for a few days and hope you can help us gather the plants."

"It would be even better if they are rare orchids."

In their mission, they weren’t just rescuing the mentor. They also needed to find orchids.

The mentor mission was relatively clear. It was already known that the mentor was locked in prison. But for the orchid mission, they were completely in the dark.

Shi Jian wanted to use this opportunity to get information about the orchids if she could.

Of course, if she couldn’t get it, then so be it.

It was just a matter of talking.

The Cannibal Tribe leader asked in detail, "What kind of rare orchids are you looking for? Where can we find them?"

Shi Jian couldn’t answer that either. If she knew, she wouldn’t need their help.

The Cannibal Tribe leader didn’t hesitate at all and immediately agreed, "I’ll have my people keep an eye out."

To him, the broken flowers and herbs were of no value, and they didn’t need to put in any effort.

Exchanging a bunch of useless flowers for food? That was a great deal!

The leader, afraid that the Biyoutifo Tribe might realize the cooperation wasn’t worth it and run off, became even more enthusiastic to keep them interested.

To show his apology for not being more welcoming earlier, he boldly said, "Tonight happens to be our monthly celebration. We’ll host a lavish human meat feast to welcome you."

Shi Jian: "…" She appreciated the gesture, but she’d pass on the human meat feast.

Shi Jian had already done her best to remove that horrifying image from her mind. She didn’t want to revisit such a terrifying scene.

…

The Cannibal Tribe leader arranged accommodations for Shi Jian and her group and invited them to join the celebration before leaving.

Once he was gone, Shi Jian and the others closed the door, clapped, and cheered.

The chef said, "Good thing you didn’t let me speak earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to say anything in a normal tone."

That was a cannibal tribe—cannibals! And they were so numerous.

The one-armed female streamer nodded as well, impressed by their daring entry into the Cannibal Tribe. She’d have plenty to brag about now.

She had so much material to brag about—eating blood-sucking plants as food, letting zombies pull carts...

The one-armed female streamer noticed that the real hero was seriously working on something.

Shi Jian explained, "I’m preparing for the celebration."

The one-armed female streamer grew a little nervous when she heard this, "What will happen at the celebration? What do we need to prepare?"Does she also need to prepare?

Tang Tian reassured the one-armed female streamer. Based on her understanding of Shi Jian, she said, "Perhaps, your preparation is not the same as hers?"

Sure enough, Shi Jian answered with certainty, "Prepare the dress and shoes."

The one-armed female streamer thought she needed to prepare weapons or medicine for unexpected situations.

Shi Jian: "A celebration, it sounds very grand. Although we shouldn't expect too much from the primitive Cannibal Tribe’s version of a grand event—it’s definitely not comparable to a small fan meet in real life."

But she still had to dress up.

Shi Jian wanted to make sure that every time she made an entrance, it was stunning.

Earlier, during the deception, time was tight, but now she had the chance to attend in full regalia.

Shi Jian even gave the bride ghost's pet ball some pet snacks. She was always very clear about rewards and punishments—she didn’t keep useless beings. If the bride ghost ate her snacks, it had to perform.

"But don’t worry, I won’t make you work for nothing," Shi Jian told the bride ghost while stuffing the pet snacks in.

The bride ghost was tossing and turning fiercely in the pet ball. Shi Jian looked at Tang Tian and said, "Look how happy she is."

Tang Tian: Really? I don’t believe it. I still feel like the bride ghost wants to kill Shi Jian more and more.

...

Night fell, and the torches in the Cannibal Tribe were lit. The welcome ceremony was held in an open area.

The Cannibal Tribe leader made a grand entrance. As soon as he appeared, over a hundred tribe members shouted in unison, "Leader, Leader!"

They also performed the Cannibal Tribe's signature awkward dance.

The leader was clearly enjoying the attention, but after surveying the area, he didn’t see Shi Jian.

He then asked, "Where is the Biyoutifo Tribe leader?"

"Here."

Shi Jian's clear voice rang out.

Main characters always make their entrance last. Now, it was her stage.

Shi Jian didn’t perform an awkward dance, but her entrance seemed to come with a fiery background track. Over a hundred members of the Cannibal Tribe watched as she slowly approached from afar.

The closer she got, the stronger the sense of pressure became.

Her high heels clicked rhythmically against the ground, each step like a heartbeat pounding in the chest.

Shi Jian held a scepter in her hand, wore a crown on her head, and was dressed in a luxurious long gown with a cloak. Her back was straight, like a bamboo stalk; her neck long and fair, like a swan. Her features were perfect, flawless—like a masterpiece crafted by Nüwa herself.

But compared to these details, the real impact came from the whole picture. She resembled a blazing fire, burning hotter than all the torches around her, a flame that could tear through the darkness. She was like a sword, beautiful enough to invade your eyes and mind, and her entire being exuded a domineering, exclusive aura.

As soon as people saw her, there was no need to think. The thoughts that flashed in their minds were simple:

Shi Jian has arrived.

The Queen of the Forest is crowned....

The barrage of comments filled the screen.

【I’ll prove it to the streamer, she really can control bugs, she made me fall in love!】

【The streamer didn’t lie, humans really do throw themselves into her web, delivering themselves to her.】

【Yacht X10】

【Rocket X66】

【I’d even volunteer to be an ATM!】

The Cannibal Tribe didn’t care about external appearances. To them, everyone except their own tribe was food.

Shi Jian and the others were excluded from the food group because their flesh was poisoned, but they still didn't care about appearances.

However, Shi Jian’s entrance still made quite an impact on them.

They felt that Shi Jian had an imposing presence. Although the Biyoutifo Tribe was small, they seemed very powerful.

Unknowingly impressive!

The Forest Queen, Shi Jian, was very satisfied with the effect she had caused. While nodding and greeting with grace, she elegantly but swiftly turned off the music on her phone.

The background music was indeed automatic.

...

To show how much he valued the cooperation, the Cannibal Tribe leader arranged for Shi Jian to sit near him.

Besides the leader, there was also a priest, an elderly man with white hair and a beard. He took the initiative to explain, “This is the most respected seat in our tribe, second only to the leader.”

“The leader has a useless son who’s always wanted to sit in this seat, but...”

The Cannibal Tribe leader interrupted the priest, “Don’t mention that useless fool. It’s such a happy occasion; don’t ruin the mood by talking about him!”

Shi Jian, Tang Tian: "..."

Though they had already known how much the leader disliked the elder, it was still surprising to learn that after the son was kidnapped, the leader didn’t even seem concerned and instead was happily having a feast.

But now this only further confirmed it.

Tang Tian: I wonder how the elder feels, knowing that Shi Jian easily took the seat his son had always wanted to sit in.

Of course, the useless elder wasn’t important.

The leader then invited Shi Jian, “Why don’t you join us in our atonement ritual, to atone to the gods?”

Shi Jian was momentarily confused. The Cannibal Tribe had elders with graduate degrees, and they even had atonement rituals?

Did they think eating humans was wrong and were afraid of punishment?

However, Shi Jian soon realized she was overthinking it.

The Cannibal Tribe members began their so-called atonement ritual, which involved loudly confessing their sins and then looking forward to the future.

Then, Shi Jian and the others saw one of the tribe members shout loudly at a twisted totem that looked similar to the drawings made by the elder’s ghostly drawings.“I have sinned, I only caught one person this month. I hope that in the coming month, I’ll have a bountiful harvest and catch more people.”

Another Cannibal Tribe member said, “I have sinned. Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I haven’t been eating people actively. I have a problem with my thoughts. Please, bless me, god, so that I can have a good appetite in the coming month and eat more human flesh!”

The priest, hearing this, couldn’t help but express his concern, “A poor appetite, unable to eat even the finest human meat... What a suffering. God, please look after this poor tribe member.”

Shi Jian, “...”

Tang Tian, “...”

The other two female streamers, “...”

Suddenly, they were shivering.

It turned out that they didn’t feel guilty for eating human flesh, but rather for not being able to eat it or for not catching enough people.

If they weren’t just making things up, they were the ones on the menu.

Each Cannibal Tribe member went through their unique atonement ritual, and it was now Shi Jian’s turn.

The priest urged Shi Jian, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Chief Shi Jian has approved of our activities, so we’re even closer now.”

At a time like this, there was no need to create conflict, so Shi Jian also stood up.

The live-stream audience was curious: What sin would Shi Jian confess?

Shi Jian followed the others’ movements, her expression extremely devout. She spoke loudly, “I have sinned.”

“My sin is... I’m too beautiful.”

“If I were to be sentenced, it would probably be life imprisonment.” Shi Jian originally wanted to say death sentence, but it felt a bit unlucky in a place where death was possible.

So she settled for the next best thing and chose life imprisonment with slight regret.

Shi Jian’s lips curled into a smile. She really was a little genius.

The audience: ???

Only stating the plain truth!

If anyone else said this, they’d probably be laughed at, but with Shi Jian’s face here, even the haters couldn’t argue.

What she said was the truth.

And in the Cannibal Tribe, the sins were—less meat eaten, fewer people caught.

The beautiful tribe leader had sinned—too beautiful.

Is that not allowed?

It fits the setting √, even more "Versailles" than them √.

A pretentious big star, so cute.

The Cannibal Tribe was raising their hands shouting, “More human flesh!” While Shi Jian and Tang Tian were raising their hands shouting, “More beauty!”

...

Shi Jian and the others quickly infiltrated the enemy’s camp and gained the Cannibal Tribe leader’s trust through deception.According to the information revealed by the senior, the key is in the Cannibal Tribe leader’s hands, and it’s a white stone.

Shi Jian, Tang Tian, and the others discussed and thought that this object would be difficult to obtain.

However, Shi Jian didn’t expect the white stone to be casually placed in the Cannibal Tribe leader’s residence. When the leader invited Shi Jian to discuss how to use the curse on humans, they saw it immediately.

The process of taking it out was also smooth.

The Cannibal Tribe now has high expectations for Shi Jian to use curses to provide them with a continuous supply of human flesh, but Shi Jian told them that using the curse requires a certain process—one can’t rush things.

In this situation, they would still have to go out hunting themselves.

The leader planned to take several young and strong tribe members to catch people, which gave Shi Jian and the others an opportunity.

Tang Tian easily took out the white stone.

Was it too easy, too simple?!

This time, not only did Shi Jian feel that it didn’t align with the usual style of the dungeon, but the others thought so too, and everyone hesitated.

The chef asked, “Could this be a trap?”

The one-fingered female streamer said, “Or maybe this key isn’t a real key, it’s a fake?”

Tang Tian replied, “Whether it’s real or fake, and whether there’s a trap or not, we still need to check, right?”

That was indeed the case.

They had already examined the Cannibal Tribe thoroughly, and the only place that might be hiding the mentor was the mysterious prison. To complete their mission, they had no choice but to go there.

No other options.

Shi Jian exchanged glances with the others, feeling a bit helpless. What else could they do?

They had to go.

...

At the prison, there were still no guards since the young and strong members were out hunting with the leader, and the area seemed relatively quiet.

Shi Jian held the white stone, which was extremely smooth, as if it had been polished. It was about the size of a palm.

Shi Jian placed it into the groove, and the heavy stone door slowly opened.

The key was the real key.

“Hurry, go in, someone’s coming!”

Tang Tian was the first to spot some Cannibal Tribe members approaching in the distance. She quietly urged everyone, and the four quickly rushed inside.

“Who’s last?”

“It seems like it’s Shi Jian.”

“Shi Jian, you closed the door pretty fast. Five-star review!”

In the midst of the noise, they whispered and praised Shi Jian, who closed the door last.

Shi Jian’s voice rang out, a bit serious, “…It wasn’t me who closed it. The door closed by itself.”In such a moment, this kind of answer really sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Shi Jian hadn’t touched the door. After the stone was placed into the slot, the door automatically opened, and after they entered, it quickly closed again. Shi Jian couldn’t even close it this fast by hand.

The surroundings were poorly lit, very dark, and they could only vaguely see some faint light, which made the atmosphere even more terrifying, starting to make them overthink.

Until a bright beam of light illuminated the area. The light was like a lightsaber, lighting up the surroundings brilliantly.

As the area became brighter, everyone felt their heartbeats returning to normal.

The light came from Shi Jian.

Shi Jian had suffered enough from the lack of light in the Royal Cruise Dungeon, so after returning to the transit station, she purchased this high-rated lamp, which was said to have a very strong illumination range.

It certainly seemed useful now.

However, aside from the closed door, Shi Jian still had something to say, “When I came in just now, the stone rolled down again…”

Shi Jian indicated the white stone she was holding.

At the moment she entered, the stone fell into her arms, and the door closed as well.

Shi Jian and the other streamers were sure that they hadn’t made any extra movements during that time.

Tang Tian also found it very eerie. She pushed the stone door, her face pale.

“It won’t open.”

“Look, what is this?!”

The chef's voice came from not far away.

She was holding her phone flashlight, looking at the wall.

With Shi Jian’s light illuminating the surroundings, the chef and the one-fingered streamer discovered that there seemed to be many drawings on the stone wall.

Shi Jian and Tang Tian also went over, and Shi Jian aimed the powerful flashlight at the wall, which made it clearer. Indeed, there were many strange pictures.

The drawings also had simple explanatory text.

The one-fingered streamer squinted and read aloud, “The Cannibal Tribe is a tribe blessed by the Serpent God…”

Shi Jian also noticed something familiar, “That totem... is it a snake?”

The winding, coiling thing, which the Cannibal Tribe called their guardian deity, was indeed a snake.

The crude pictures on the wall depicted that a long, long time ago, the Cannibal Tribe had an inexplicable connection with the great snake. Later, the Cannibal Tribe provided the snake with a habitat, and the snake blessed them in return.

The snake was in this prison, and the so-called key was not really a key, but a snake egg.

At first, Shi Jian didn’t take much notice of the fact that the stone she was holding was actually a snake egg, but the more she looked at it, the more uneasy she felt.

The mural also depicted that if strangers invaded the prison, they would face corresponding punishment.

The intruder must constantly hold the snake egg, otherwise, once the egg leaves the body, it would quickly crack open, releasing countless small snakes that would crawl into the intruder’s body through their seven orifices, consuming their organs, leaving only the skin behind.

However, holding the snake egg didn’t mean the intruder was safe.

Because the giant snake would smell the egg, find the intruder, coil around them, and suffocate them to death.The paintings on the stone wall were quite sloppy, but the depictions of these two death scenarios were drawn with a lot of soul.

In one painting, the little figure dropped the snake egg, and countless small snakes crawled into its body.

In another painting, the little figure didn't drop the egg, but the giant snake chased after it, coiling around the figure.

Everyone realized that they had been scared too early.

No wonder the Cannibal Tribe had been so relaxed about this, even leaving the key poorly guarded.

It turned out there was a giant snake inside the prison!

It turned out that the key was a snake egg, and it couldn’t be discarded, or it would hatch!

The last sentence was—

Invaders, accept the punishment of the Serpent God.

...

Tang Tian's pupils were shocked as she stepped back two paces, but she thought that the most fearful person right now should be Shi Jian.

Shi Jian was the one holding the snake egg.

Tang Tian started looking for Shi Jian, “You can’t let go of the egg, maybe you should give it to me…”

She came to take the egg.

Though the other streamers were also scared, they volunteered, “I can,” “Let me take it.”

Then they noticed that Shi Jian was crouching in the corner, holding the snake egg. She had indeed been startled earlier, but now her mind was clearing up.

Shi Jian was studying it. She looked up at Tang Tian and the others, asking in a scholarly tone.

“You guys say, can I hold the egg and cook it, or should I hold it while you guys use fire to roast it?”

Boil the egg, roast the egg.

In everyone’s mind, another phrase echoed without them even realizing it—

Serpent God, accept humanity's stir-frying!
