After a perilous journey through the jungle, he finds himself in a surreal world where the inhabitants walk on their hands and possess unique customs. Initial encounters with the local population and a series of thrilling events reveal their superstitions and fears, particularly regarding the protagonist's perceived god-like status due to his unfamiliar abilities. However, when a nefarious priest exposes him as a fraud, he is captured and almost sacrificed. In a climactic rescue, his companion Hazen saves him just in time, leading to a harrowing escape from the city, which ultimately succumbs to a flood caused by their destruction of an aqueduct.
