Chapter 521 (1/2)
Savannah, San man tribe.
Under the starry night sky, a bonfire was set up in the saint Mann tribe.
The younger generation of the tribe led by Chala succeeded in snatching food from the lion's mouth and officially completed their rite of passage. At this moment, there is a celebration ceremony in the tribe.
In the center of the tribe, there are four horned horses on the campfire. The chief of the tribe is holding the stone bowl with blood in his hand, saying words in his mouth, dipping his forefinger in the blood from time to time, and blessing and coronating the warriors in turn.
Around, enthusiastic and unrestrained indigenous people sang and danced, celebrating the birth of new warriors with primitive dance.
And the three photographers who were rescued this time were smiling, photographing the scene and recording the sacred moments of the saint Mann tribe.
The rite of passage is still going on. The last one to receive the blessing of the chief is zhala, the brave zubao.
When the chief came to him, charlatan lowered his head and waited for the blessing.
The chief's index finger dipped in the stone bowl, drew a circle on Zara's forehead, then turned around and cried out loudly:
”the last blessing to the youngest ancestor leopard brave and the strongest warrior of the holy man tribe, Zara!”
With the words of the chief falling, the tribe immediately boils, and all the aborigines begin to cheer, offering their blessings and enthusiasm for the brave ancestor leopard.
At this moment, the faces of the three photographers also showed a smile.
In this new era, it is precious to see such an ancient ceremony.
The revelry of the saint Mann tribe also began at this moment.
The three photographers also let go of their estrangement and integrated into the high atmosphere of the saint Mann tribe to celebrate the initiation ceremony of Zara and others.
The revelry lasted until 2 a.m.
During this period, various programs continued, such as fighting among warriors, praying for blessings of tribal sacrifice people, etc
The ancient culture of the saint Mann tribe made all three photographers have an illusion of going through the tribal era.
At this moment, three photographers have an idea in mind.
They came to Africa to photograph the great migration of the horned horse tribe, but by contrast, it is clear that the customs of the St. Mann tribe are far more popular than the migration of the horned horse.
After this idea appeared, it could not be erased, so the leading photographer jack, after the carnival, found the chief of the St. Mann tribe and put forward the idea of staying to shoot and record the life of the tribe.
In order to show his sincerity, Jack expressed to the tribal chief that he was willing to give a sum of money to support the development of the tribe.
For this request, the chief did not refuse, readily agreed to come down.
This undoubtedly made Jack and others very happy. After a night in the tribe, they drove their rented RV to the saint Mann tribe the next day.
This RV is exactly the supply station that Jack and others came to take photos in the prairie. There are many equipment and food supplies in it.
After that, Jack and others lived in the St. Mann tribe and filmed the life of the St. Mann people.
Soon, Jack and others became acquainted with the San man tribe.
As time went by, Jack would write a diary every day, recording what he saw and heard, and at the same time, he would take the initiative to contact with the people of the St. Mann tribe to learn about the ancient life and customs preserved by the tribe.
This documentary about the St. Mann tribe, Jack vaguely felt that he could sell it very well and made it very seriously.
But as he got in touch, Jack found something very confusing.
That is to say, the ”Chala” in the tribe, known as the brave ancestor leopard, is quite different from other tribes.
Jack felt that it was more appropriate to describe the ancestor leopard warrior as a beast than as a human being.
Far beyond the speed and power of human beings, and even the intuition of beasts, the mystery of Zara deeply attracted Jack.
In addition to curiosity, Jack would like to know about the brave ancestor leopard and his secret.
Jack first asked the people of the tribe to get some useful information from them.
However, their answers are very unified. They all say that the totem ”zubao”, the ancestor of the saint Mann tribe, gave Zara the power to protect the continuation of the tribe.
Jack felt helpless about the answer.
After all, it's the 24th century. He believes in science. He doesn't believe that it's all deification.
However, in Jack's view, this warrior is an important part of the documentary, and he must carefully understand this talent line.
So over the next few days, Jack approached Zara and took the initiative to talk to him.
It has to be said that Zara's appearance is quite different from that of the San man tribe.
His height is close to two meters, his muscles are firm, and he has a strong breath. Especially in the sun, his dark muscles seem to be cast from steel, giving off a wild breath.
When facing Zara, Jack felt that he was facing a fierce beast, and he also had some warning.
However, Zara is not hostile to Jack and does not resist Jack's active contact.
Because Jack gave his people money to exchange goods with the outside world, as the guardian of the tribe, he thanked Jack from the bottom of his heart.
