Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet

Chen Ergou began to explore the depths, and along the way, he found that there were more big trees carved in wood, but they were not as big as the two guarded ones outside. Some simply put a carved wooden mask in front of the road.

Each piece has a different shape, and the appearance of the carving is also different.

The audience was shocked, as if they had walked into a place of extreme cruelty and horror.

Chen Ergou explained: "Just now I only focused on educating you, and forgot to mention important things, just like these wood carvings."

"In Congo, woodcarving is very famous, and it represents the core art of African woodcarving."

"Mrs. Desman in the United States once said: African art production is not just for appreciation, but for the gods and kings. And its role is not for decoration. From the past to the present, it is the expression and support for social survival. their fundamental spiritual values.”

"The wood carvings here are usually mainly statues and masks. The masks usually have long round faces, big eyes, and the eyes are a bit dull."

"Some tribal people let these gods descend into the sculptures through religious sacrificial ceremonies, and obtain the protection and wisdom of the gods from them. They believe that the dead will always exist among the living, and the wood carvings are the embodiment of the souls of their ancestors."

He took off a carved wooden mask, took a close-up shot, and said: "Look, these portraits of people usually seem to be rigid and fixed, often in an upright position, without any turning postures, and no gestures. However, such wood carvings are The hallmark of a genuinely African work of art: rhythm!"

"If you want to understand African culture, you can achieve it through wood carving masks. Only they have the unique breath of life in Africa."

Smiling, he put the mask back and said, "The wooden masks here are so rich and varied, which proves that the level of civilization development of this tribe is not low. If I want to, take one out, maybe I can sell it A good price."

Of course the water friends don’t believe it——

"Really, don't bully me for reading less?"

"This kind of mask that is about to rot can also be regarded as a treasure?"

The further he walked, Chen Ergou soon found more traces of human activities, not on the ground, but in the trees.

Those are some wooden houses built on trees with a height of 6 to 30 meters. They look strange, but they have all decayed and collapsed because of their age.

The audience were all dumbfounded.

If it wasn't for the fact that the treehouses were all rotten, I really thought I had come to the world of elves in "Lord of the Rings". Feelings This is still a tribe living in trees.

Not to mention ordinary audiences, even historians are afraid to stare wide-eyed and ecstatic, wishing to replace Chen Ergou and run over to study it.

When Chen Ergou took a closer look, it was all collapsed. He even climbed up a tree to see what was inside the wooden house at a close distance, but he couldn't get anything.

With a light touch, the wooden house fell apart. God knows how many years have passed.

After getting off the tree, he clapped his hands and said: "It's a pity, these are all built in the old built-in style. I'm afraid they have built wooden houses on the trees in this jungle for generations to avoid floods and various animals. It can avoid the invasion of hostile neighboring tribes. Therefore, there are unique researches on the architectural structure of the tree house.”

"From the point of view of the building complex, the number of this tribe is about 200 people, which is not a small number. A tribe with people on both sides is enough to dominate the main forest. And judging from the proficiency of wooden houses and woodcarvings, the level of civilization may be out of date. The forest is also one of the best among the many tribes."

The expedition came here and has already attracted the attention of the vast majority of viewers.

More water friends got the news and were still rushing to the live broadcast room.

Because what I saw and heard before my eyes was really unimaginable. Are you exploring another planet? Even some unscrupulous media have reported it, exposed it first, and cheated some traffic.

Chen Ergou's exploration was not over. At the end of the passage, it led to a cave, where the water became very deep.

The front is pitch black, and there is no echo after shouting for a long time. It seems to be connected? He's not sure.

The wooden stick was inserted into the water and it was not too deep. He said, "I want to go in and have a look. This kind of cave is usually a dangerous place. Maybe it can explain why this jungle tribe disappeared."

The audience were all sweating for him, this is really desperate.

Chen Ergou had already jumped into the water unambiguously, fluttering, and suddenly a handful of black things flew over his head.

"It's a bat."

The feeling of hundreds of bats flying overhead is definitely not good.

Chen Ergou put on his hat, pulled up his collar, and said, "These things may carry rabies, or even various germs. I want to avoid being bitten."

"There are not many bats that like to live in caves in this jungle, and there are more fruit bats. They prefer to stay in the trees. When the dry season comes, it is the time for the endless fruit bat migration. .Millions, tens of millions of black fruit bats will fly to the swamp in groups, and the scene is spectacular and terrifying.”

It may be because the water is still flowing, so there are no bird droppings, bat droppings, etc. that can be seen everywhere in the cave. The air is also considered fresh. This finally made him feel better.

The further he went, the deeper the water was, and it was already up to his neck.

Then I was blocked by a stone wall in front of me, and I couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "It seems that my speculation is wrong. Maybe there is a place for ventilation at the top of the cave. It's not that this cave is open. The way out of the cave in front is flooded. I have to go diving."

It's not a good feeling.

Even if the water is clean, that's where bats live.

God knows how many things have been mixed in.

But the reality is like this, there is no way.

He took a deep breath, pinched his nose, and plunged into the water.

The camera lens drilled in, and the water was so cloudy that it was difficult to see the direction. He only moved forward by relying on the bright light projected by the dog's eggs. The further he swam, the larger the underwater space and the deeper the water. Not knowing how far ahead was, he swam for almost 3 minutes and was about to lose his breath.

Fortunately, his diving skill is LV3, and his breath-holding limit for diving is 6 minutes.

If you can't find a way out, you have to go back.

A bright light suddenly appeared in front of him, and with a twitch in his heart, he paddled past with his hands and feet.

With the light above his head, he accelerated his upward movement, and when he was about to lose his breath, his head suddenly jumped out of the water.

"Breathe, breathe" couldn't help exhaling, "I almost suffocated to death just now, thanks to swimming here. Let's see what the hell is here?"

Goudan's camera turned around, a bright light scattered, and what he saw in front of him stunned him.

The tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room were also shocked, "Unbelievable!"

Because the entire stone room, including the walls, emits this vague fluorescence.

It's blue, like a will-o'-the-wisp. Against the background of blue fluorescent light, all kinds of elephant ivory, weird stone slabs, rotten bows and arrows are piled up on both sides.

In the middle is enshrined a pure black corpse, with bone ornaments and undecomposed bird feathers from the chief's collar on the head.

Chen Ergou climbed ashore, tsk-tsk in amazement, and didn't speak for a while, until he saw the corpse and said: "This is the corpse of a chieftain, coated with various sticky gums, and after 20 or 30 years of smoking, it will be completely destroyed. Store it inside the house. As long as it is well preserved, it will not rot for many years.”

He lightly touched the flesh with his waist knife, and there was a crisp "chi chi" sound, it was already hard.

He didn't touch those tusks, they were all jungle elephant tusks, very short and bloody.

Walking back and forth in the small stone room, looking at the dots of blue light spreading on the wall, said: "In the forest, there is a group of creatures that are neither animals nor plants, and they are still working endlessly in the dark. That's the fungus."

"The presence of fungi keeps the land alive and they digest all the waste that the forest produces. Some rare fungi use enzymes that glow and are called 'chimpanzee fire' by locals. Without these fungi, dead plants would It piled up like a mountain, drowning all living plants. The shimmering light in this stone chamber is obviously some kind of fungus too."

Hearing this explanation, the audience was a little disappointed. Just now they thought they had encountered the Pandora planet in "Avatar". Chen Ergou was a little disappointed in his heart. Although this place is very magical, it is obviously not the place marked on his parchment. And the reason for the disappearance of this tribe has not been found.

With the help of the camera light of the dog egg, he searched in the stone room to see if there was anything meaningful.

Turning over a pile of rotting fur of an unknown animal, a musty smell entered the nostrils.

He covered his nostrils violently, and stepped back a long way.

Suddenly a little red light shines, which is particularly conspicuous in the dark environment.

Walk over and shake off the curly fur. "Gululu" The sound of rocks rolling could be heard far away in the stone room.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone who saw the stone lit up.

"..."
