The exotic beast was extremely vigilant. As it sensed the changes in the Origin Energy in space, it headed towards the river. It poked its head out to drink water. Occasionally, its eyes would shine with yellow light, and some four-legged strange fish would float up from the river. The exotic beast opened its mouth and swallowed the strange fish clean. After repeating it a few times, it was full and found a sunny place by the river to lie down and bask lazily in the sun.
Allen didn't want to alarm the exotic beast, so he gestured for everyone to bypass it. Belmore suddenly pulled Allen and pointed behind the exotic beast. Allen looked intently and a faint figure appeared in the grass behind the exotic beast. Suddenly, a rope net flew out from the grass. There were stones tied around the rope net to increase the weight of the rope net. The person who threw the rope net was clearly an expert at hunting. The rope net was able to rotate with the weight of the stone. The stone pulled the rope net apart and covered the space around the exotic beast.
The exotic beast was very alert. It had already noticed the rope net when it came, but it was still a step too slow and the net was firmly entangled. It roared and struggled, but it was unable to tear it apart for a while. Moreover, it was getting tighter and tighter. The exotic beast's eyes lit up, and the rope net burned fiercely. Just as it was about to be burned, strange cries rang out from behind the forest, and figures rushed out one after another. The sound of breaking through the air rang out, and rough wooden spears shot out like lightning.
One end of the spear was sharpened, and this tool was very backward. However, every wooden spear was attached to Origin Energy, but it was extremely lethal. More than a dozen wooden spears stabbed at the exotic beast in the net, stabbing the wild beast to death.
Allen and the others couldn't believe their eyes. It wasn't surprising to encounter any kind of strange creature on this planet. However, the hunters that emerged from the forest were undoubtedly humans. Even though they were wearing grass skirts, animal skins, and painted faces, Allen believed that he wasn't mistaken. These were all humans.
Everyone was surprised to see their own kind on an unknown planet. These planet natives didn't know that there were unfamiliar visitors on the other side of the river. They shouted excitedly because they had hunted a wild beast. A man who was obviously the leader gestured and shouted, "Bring it back."
Although the tone was slightly different, there was no doubt that this was the common language of Earth. Allen wondered if he had misheard. It was one thing for humans to appear on this planet, but their language was surprisingly similar to that of Earth. In other words, the civilization of this planet was very similar to that of Earth. It could even be regarded as a young Earth!
On the other side of the river, the natives had already set up the beast carcasses and carried them into the forest. The native leader casually glanced at the bushes where Allen and the others were hiding, but he didn't notice anything. He raised his wooden spear and followed behind the group.
"Follow him," Allen said softly.
Only after the natives were far away did they emerge from the bushes. Among the four of them, both Allen and Belmond were good at tracking in the wild. Those natives didn't seem to have any intention of removing their tracks, so Allen and the others weren't afraid of losing them. The four of them crossed the river, and Belmond walked in front, following the traces left behind by the natives. As they went deeper into the forest, the traces of the natives' activities became more and more obvious.
There were even corpses of exotic beasts tied with ropes under the canopies of some trees as a warning.
Belmond suddenly stopped.
Here, one could already hear the faint sounds of people. Allen and the others were at the foot of a grassy slope. Looking down, there was a stronghold at the foot of the slope. The stronghold was built on a spacious grassland, and the natives used stones and thick wooden branches to form a circle of guards. The simple wooden houses they built were distributed in the stronghold. If one observed carefully, they would find that these wooden houses also had a certain defensive function.
The stronghold was crowded with people. There were at least one or two hundred people living there. It could be considered a large tribe. The stronghold was very lively. People came and went, and there were even natives driving some livestock past. This place was full of vitality, causing Allen and the others to be speechless.
Allen's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he looked behind him like lightning. He happened to see a wooden spear flying out of the bushes. The Origin Energy poured into the spear, and it actually produced a strong sound of breaking through the air.
Of course, this was not difficult for Allen.
He didn't even need to use Qianjun. He kicked the middle of the spear and sent it flying.
At this moment, a few natives jumped out of the bushes and aimed their wooden spears at Allen and the others. Cries came from the branches above everyone's heads. Raising their heads, some natives emerged from behind the trees and raised their spears.
Allen and the others were surrounded.
Belmond had a smile on his face. A pitch-black dagger slipped out of his sleeve and was about to make a move. Allen stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't make a move first."
"We don't have any ill intentions. We're just passing by. We're lost in the forest. "Allen shouted.
A native shouted, "Liar! You're from Sur City. You're here to make a move on us! "
"We're not from Sur City." Allen emphasized.
"There's no need to waste words with them. The people of Sur City are cunning fellows. Kill them and bring their corpses to Caesar! "A native pounced down from the tree and stabbed his wooden spear at Allen.
Welik snorted and flashed towards the natives. The Angry Beast Armor smashed the native's wooden spear into pieces. Then he slammed his shoulder and bounced him away. If it weren't for the fact that Allen had no intention of making a move, Welik wouldn't have knocked him away.
However, as soon as he made a move, the other natives had already pounced over with strange cries.
Belmond flashed out like a ghost, his dagger wandering, leaving behind a winding black saber light. The wooden spears and aprons of the natives were torn apart by the inconspicuous dagger. Before they could figure out what had happened, Belmond either tripped them to the ground or smashed them in the nose.
Edward was much more relaxed. The eyes of the Maritans changed color in the sunlight of the forest. The natives rushing towards him seemed to be hypnotized. They suddenly slowed down and fell to the ground, sleeping soundly.
Allen took out Qianjun from the saber sheath on his back and casually swept his heavy saber. The blade pulled out an orange light and cut down a towering tree on the left. The tree tilted, causing the two natives who were planning to sneak attack to jump down in a hurry. The heavy saber shook again, producing a fierce saber intent that shocked the hearts of the natives. Only then did Allen say, "I repeat, we are not from Sur City. If we were enemies, we would have attacked long ago. "
The natives looked at me, I looked at you, still unable to make up their minds. A deep voice rang out, "I believe in you."
The voice came from behind the native warriors. The natives all moved aside. A tall and sturdy man wearing a beast skin cloak walked forward with a spear in his hand. The spear in his hand was clearly much more exquisite than the one used by the warriors. It was carved with complicated curves, and the tip of the spear was not made of wood, but a dark red diamond-shaped crystal stone.
As soon as he appeared, the native warriors on both sides fell to the ground and shouted the word "Caesar".
That should be this person's name.
Caesar came to Allen and the others and said, "Your clothes are completely different from those of Sur City. Tell me, young traveler. Where are you from? I also want to know if you are Paimon's enemies or friends? "
Allen smiled and put away Qianjun. He spread out his hands and said, "We came from the end of the world. As for whether it is an enemy or a friend, it depends on your decision. "
"The end of the world? Could it be that you came from the other side of the sea? That's impossible. How did you cross the Well of the Abyss? "Caesar was shocked.
Of course, Allen didn't know what the Well of the Abyss was. He revealed an unfathomable smile and said, "That's a secret. Now, I want to know, are we enemies? "
Caesar took a few steps back and looked at the warriors behind him. He raised his spear and shouted, "Since you have crossed the Well of the Abyss, you have conquered the devil. Paimon does not want to be enemies with the warriors who have conquered the devil. So welcome, friends of Paimon. "
"Friend!"
"Friend!"
The native warriors raised their spears and shouted.
When Allen and the others walked into the native village, the passers-by all cast curious gazes at them. It was obvious that Allen and the others' clothes were incompatible with the primitive grass skirts of the natives, and they were not the clothes of the people of Sur City that they had always mentioned before. Therefore, for a moment, the natives of the stronghold could not figure out who Allen and the others were.
Caesar was the leader of the stronghold, also known as the leader. He had a high status and was a valiant warrior himself. He had brought Allen and the others in, so no one regarded them as enemies even though the natives were suspicious. It was all because they knew that the valiant Caesar only welcomed friends and never compromised with enemies.
Allen and the others were placed in a wooden house. The wooden house was very simple. There were no so-called beds here, only animal skins on the uneven ground. Caesar let them rest for a while, and in the evening he would hold a party to welcome their friends from afar.
"What are your plans?"
After the natives left, Edward walked up to Allen, who was standing by the window, and asked.
Allen turned around and said, "You should have heard what they said just now. Their enemy seems to be from a city called Sur. If this planet already has a city, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be a country. I feel that it is necessary to come into contact with the so-called Sur City to understand the level of civilization on this planet. "
"I've thought of a possibility."
"What? Tell me."
Edward's pupils turned from bright red to dark gold. "Judging from our current situation, we may stay on this planet for a while," he said. "According to the process of your colonial expansion, we should expand our sphere of influence and territory next. If it was in the past, when you arrived on a strange planet, there would definitely be intense friction with the planet's natives in the early stages of development. "
"But this time, I think it will be an exception, because the intelligent life on this planet has too much in common with you humans. So many that we don't even have to appear as outsiders. "
Allen said in a deep voice, "You mean, let's change our appearance and secretly merge into this planet?"
"Yes, our first stop is Sur City. First, we will integrate into Sur City, figure out the structure of the planet's civilization, and then establish our own territory. The simplest way is for me to control the City Lord of Sur City. After a period of time, when I figure out the power structure, I can even use 'legal' means to make them give up the city. "Edward smiled." You see, there's no easier invasion than this. "
