King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 1038: Chapter 924: Determination

The garbage on the Congo River was especially abundant, causing the fast response boat to move cautiously in the dark…

Joe Ga asked the captain about the time needed to rendezvous with ‘Grey Wolf,’ and the reply was that it might take another four to six hours.

He lay down on the aft deck with Qiao Liang, gazing up at the stars while drinking beer, and they eventually fell asleep.

Luckily, both of them were covered in mosquito-repellent witch medicine; otherwise, sleeping out in an open spot for four hours like this would essentially have turned them into free blood donors for Africa.

As Joe rested, “Silt” arrived at a Mud People Tribe village with Night Tiger and the Ferryman.

The Mud People’s village was located beside a narrow tributary of the Congo River. The village itself was built upon a clearing on the riverbank…

At that moment, a white man missing one hand was tied to a large stone traditionally used for slaughtering livestock. Surrounding him were several children smeared head to toe with ash-colored mud, curiously observing.

When Night Tiger and the Ferryman appeared, Mud People warriors armed with spears rushed out from the village, their eyes fixed on the newcomers with alert hostility.

It wasn’t until a burly Mud People tribesman beside “Silt” spoke that the spear-wielding warriors lowered their weapons and hollered a series of indiscernible chants…

The warriors then spread their arms wide, crouching low with bent knees, mimicking the stance of gorillas to make themselves appear more intimidating, pacing in exaggerated circles around Night Tiger and the Ferryman.

Seeing ‘Comet’ tense up a bit, “Silt” yanked off the lion-head insignia patched on ‘Comet’s arm and threw it to a young Mud People warrior. Raising his hand, “Silt” shouted loudly in a language incomprehensible to the others…

The warriors instantly seemed reinvigorated, pounding their feet with frenzied energy.

The commotion outside the village attracted the attention of those inside.

Altogether—with men, women, the elderly, and children—the population amounted to over a hundred.
