Chapter 450: Don’t Drink Their Wine

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After the Hopi finished worshipping, the plaza became noisy and lively again.

Li Du and most of the treasure hunters gathered together. They sat around a campfire.

Arizona was a hot place but not all areas were hot. In Flagstaff, the temperature was lower than other places of the state. Further north, the temperature was even lower.

During the autumn season, the southern part of Arizona could be very hot. However, at the territory of the Hopi, the temperature had enormously decreased.

After all, their territory was close to Utah. There was a cold wave near the Colorado Plateau and the cold wave passed by their territory too. So during the night, the temperature at their territory was very low.

It was comfortable to sit around a campfire under this temperature. Moreover, there were different roasted animals on top of the flame. They could grab anything they liked to eat and drink self-brewed wine when they were thirsty. It was very relaxing.

But Hans was not satisfied. When the wind blew towards them, he rubbed his palms together and complained, ”D*mn it, this is hell. My chest is hot due to the campfire but my back is cold as ice.”

”It's great. You can enjoy both fire and ice at the same time. You can enjoy it for free, you must be thrilled,” Turis teased.

His words made the treasure hunters laugh. ”Big Fox, take your clothes off and enjoy the fire and ice at the same time!”

”This feels very good, I love it.”

”Turn your body around, then you can enjoy the heat at your back and the cold at your chest. I bet it must be even sort of exciting!”

”You brats!”

Li Du whistled and said, ”Hush, everyone be quiet. Look, they are going to toast!”

The Native Americans raised their glasses, bowls, and wineskins. They toasted to the person next to them first and shouted in the Shoshoni language. Then, they walked around and toasted each other.

The dancing ladies took their wine glasses too. Some of the young ladies walked toward Li Du and the others. Then, they were surrounded by the ladies.

Their glasses were filled with wine and the ladies were smiling widely. They raised their glasses, staring at Li Du and the others.

Li Du thought they wanted to toast, so he raised his glass too.

But the ladies shook their heads. They spoke Shoshoni and moved their hands. It looked like they were going to give them their wine glasses. Looking at their hand gestures, Hans and the others understood their intentions and they were about to accept the ladies' glasses.

But Li Du realized that something was wrong. He was a calm and careful man. Although the toasting ceremony looked ordinary, he noticed a problem.

There were more than forty ladies and there were also more than forty treasure hunters. If it were a normal toast ceremony, each lady would toast to one man. But the ladies gathered near Godzilla and Big Quinn only. At least twenty ladies were standing near them. They urgently pushed their glasses towards the men.

There were ladies who gathered near Hans, Carl, Turis and Li Du too. But some of the treasure hunters, like Olly and Dickens, had no ladies near them.

Olly looked unhappy. ”Why won't you toast to me?” he complained. ”Dear Hopi ladies, do you think that I'm too old?”

Dickens said helplessly, ”I'm not old, I'm just skinny. Maybe they don't like us, huh?”

Li Du had a bad feeling about this. He scanned the crowd and he saw that the security chief was smiling cunningly when he looked at them.

To be exact, he was smiling while he looked at Big Quinn and Godzilla.

Seeing that Olly and Dickens had no ladies near them, Li Du finally understood what was going on!
