"Adams, why are you here? Are you a member of this tribe?"
Looking at the Maasai man in front of him who was wrapped in red cloth and had woolen braids on his head, Xia Xu asked in surprise.
Then he immediately realized that the two sides could not communicate in the same language, and immediately signaled the guide to translate.
"I belong to this tribe, but not in this village. I came here just to find the elders..."
With the help of the guide's translation, the two were able to communicate fairly smoothly.
And with the terrifying memory ability brought by the super brain potion, Xia Xu quickly mastered some simple Maasai language during the communication, and soon reached the level sufficient for preliminary communication.
During the conversation, he also learned about some of Adams' recent experiences.
Although they are both members of the protagonist group in the plot of "Hunter", Adams and Grant are fundamentally different.
Adams does not have a deep hatred for werewolves like Grant and his friends. The main reason he joined the hunter team was because of Grant's hiring.
Maybe now it seems that ordinary werewolves are not even a small threat to people like Xia Xu, but compared to ordinary people, the werewolves' physical fitness and close combat ability brought by their instincts are absolutely crushing.
Grant was aware of his own shortcomings in close combat, so he hired Adams, an extremely tough Maasai warrior, through certain channels, and gradually forged a deep friendship with him during repeated life-and-death battles.
As for why I met Adams here, this can be explained from two aspects.
One is Grant’s hunter team. Due to the strong intervention of Xia Xu and Uncle Luo in the plot of "Hunter", the villain werewolf forces in the entire plot were wiped out in advance.
Following this battle, plus their previous hunting, the first batch of 'wild' werewolves that returned to society had become extremely rare, and coupled with the interruption of the original plot, they naturally did not have many business opportunities.
As a result, the hunter team entered the holiday period where everyone went their separate ways. Except for Grant who was tirelessly tracking the Cyborg Werewolf back to Xia Country, everyone else basically had their own lives.
The same is true for Adams. According to the Maasai tradition, he has reached the age to be promoted to a senior warrior, and he rushed back this time to perform some traditional ceremonies.
"So how's the ceremony going? Is it over?"
Xia Xu asked with bright eyes.
It was not that he was so interested in the traditions of the Maasai, but after habitually taking a look at Adams' attribute panel, he saw a new but very familiar entry.
Name: Adams
Life Level: 1
Fate potential: [Supporting role: "Hunter"]; [Supporting role: "An Jiayin: Origin"]
Talent potential: Fighting (4 stars)
Special: Eye of Marseille (1 star)
Obsession: None
Favorability: 72
Anga Yin: Origin!
Adams actually has the same plot entry as Vanis!
And before that, he was a member of the main cast of "Hunter", which means he actually played supporting roles in two plots at the same time.
My goodness, is the business so busy? He is still rushing to the scene, is he really shooting a movie
Xia Xu, who encountered this situation for the first time, was so shocked that he couldn't help but complain a few times inwardly.
But it is not impossible to think about it. In movie making, there are times when cameos and characters are shared, not to mention that this is reality.
A person's life experience is so long that it is not surprising that he or she has to go through multiple events and multiple identities. There are many cases that are more legendary than this.
Adams is definitely one of the most outstanding warriors among the Maasai. It would be strange if he did not participate in the plot of "Anga Yin: Origin" which is obviously dominated by Maasai elements.
However, to Xia Xu's disappointment, Adams was only one of the supporting characters in the plot. In addition, the plot had not yet begun, so he still could not get a plot summary from the attribute panel.
I had thought that it might be related to Adams' promotion ceremony and wanted to inquire about it, but the result was that everything was calm and that just finding the elder to braid my hair was already the last step.
He really had no idea what to do, so he could only put the matter on hold as planned, and the topic with Adams turned to chatting and reminiscing about the past.
During the conversation, he also came to Adams' home in another Maasai village at his invitation.
The Maasai tribe can be said to be very primitive and poor, but this poverty sometimes depends on the perspective.
As a nomadic people, most Maasai families keep a lot of cattle and sheep at home. So this is just like the Tibetan herdsmen. Although it may seem ordinary, the number of cattle and sheep at home is actually not small when converted according to city prices.
Adams was clearly a hidden rich man in the local area. The high amount of US dollars he earned from Grant had an astonishing purchasing power when he used it to exchange for local cattle and sheep.
Therefore, even though they lived in the same short fenced house with mud and cow dung lake, Adams had four or five wives and raised hundreds of cattle and sheep, especially the former, which made Xia Xu very envious.
It was hard to refuse the kind invitation, so Xia Xu, who had stayed with Adams for most of the day, was invited to stay for dinner.
The staple food of the Maasai, or the local black people, seems to be a kind of flour cooked into a paste-like texture and then paired with some beans cooked into a paste. They are not afraid of the heat and just pinch it into small balls to eat.
However, this kind of thing would naturally not be used to entertain Xia Xu and the others. Adams arrogantly called on his wives to kill cattle and sheep and had a traditional barbecue feast.
After all the hospitality, by the time we set out on our way home, the sky was already dark.
Declining Adams' offer of escort, Xia Xu returned to the city peacefully with his two security teams.
It’s a pity that the good mood of having a smooth journey and meeting old friends disappeared instantly when we returned to the Xinghai Security Base.
"My Lord, please, please save Vanis, my poor child, wuwuwu..."
As soon as he entered the villa area, Xia Xu saw a black woman kneeling on the ground crying, and Yang Bowen and He Qing with ugly expressions on their faces.
"What's going on? What happened to Vanis?"
Xia Xu, who vaguely heard these words at the door, frowned slightly and walked quickly into the hall.
"boss."
The voice arrived before the person arrived. When they heard Xia Xu's voice, Yang Bowen and He Qing obviously breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the door with joy on their faces.
"Sir! Sir! Please save Vanis!"
The black woman seemed to realize who had more say here, and immediately moved her knees excitedly to Xia Xu.
This is a skinny and haggard middle-aged woman. Judging from her dress and facial features, she is probably not a Maasai. There is no Marseille Eye entry unique to the Maasai on her attribute panel.
But from what she said, she seemed to be Vanis's mother.
"Relax, calm down, I will rescue Vanis, but you need to tell me first, what happened?"
Xia Xu helped the woman up with a comforting look and asked about the situation.
The woman's excitement all came from her eagerness to save her son. His words were obviously very skillful and efficient, and he quickly calmed her down and made her explain the whole story.
A very simple incident that doesn't seem surprising to happen here.
At first, Vanis only worked as a guide and translator for Yang Bowen and his team for half a day, and was sent home after get off work in the evening.
However, the person who can become the protagonist of the plot is not an ordinary person. Perhaps it is because of his eagerness to seize the opportunity to make a contribution and his special affection for the Xinghai Group, Vanis was not at peace after returning home.
As he often hangs out in the streets, he naturally has many opportunities to come into contact with gangsters and idle people. After returning home, Vanis tried to contact some local gangsters.
Of course, he didn't have strong connections, so money was needed to get things done.
Today, Vanis has already received a considerable commission from Xinghai Security in advance, so it is not difficult to imagine that in this process, he should have chosen to use this commission as an advance payment.
It normally wouldn't cost much just to gather information from the lower-level minions. The Xinghai Group couldn't be short of this little money, and it would definitely be reimbursed afterwards. However, the credit for gathering information yourself and the credit for providing assistance cannot be compared.
For anyone with a little courage and adventurous spirit, this is a simple multiple-choice question that does not require much weighing.
Unfortunately, Vanis, the protagonist of the story, is not lacking in adventurous spirit and ambition, but he obviously underestimated the greed of human nature.
The young man went to the market with the gold, but he still faced a group of idle gang members. No matter how successful he pretended, he could not completely eliminate everyone's "adventurous spirit".
So, it was very reasonable and in line with the local daily routine that he was kidnapped, and the threats and extortion messages were notified in person at his door, which was swift and efficient.
