On the ground that was illuminated by the scorching sun, there were some creatures that were in a state of extreme nervousness.
This was a mammoth, and there was another creature … known as the Origin, a creature wielding a long spear.
The two of them looked like they were fighting one on one, but the Origin's entire body was trembling. It knew very well that … it was impossible for it to fight against the mammoth, which weighed nearly ten tons, with its mere weight of ten kilograms.
However, it didn't want to retreat. Even the comrades who had fought alongside it were now corpses on the ground.
Some of these corpses had been trampled to death, some had had their spines broken, and some had been thrown to the ground. Their causes of death were varied, and the last Origin couldn't help but begin to imagine … … what kind of death would it be?
"Wu!" The mammoth suddenly let out an angry roar, and its massive body began to move forward. The Origin knew that its final moment was about to arrive.
It gripped the long spear in its hands tightly and stared intently at the mammoth's eyes. That was its chance. As long as it pierced the eyes … it would obtain victory.
However, piercing the tiny eyes wasn't easy. The mammoth could still use its trunk to knock away the long spear, but the Origin wouldn't give up. Even if … it would die as tragically as its comrades, it had to fight!
As the mammoth approached, the Origin suddenly waved its hand and forcefully threw a rock, which smashed into the mammoth's forehead.
"Wu!" The mammoth's body froze. It subconsciously raised its trunk to touch the spot where it had been hit and closed its eyes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Origin quickly raised the long spear in its hands. Its body also stopped trembling … it was about to succeed!
"Now is the time!"
Suddenly. A series of shouts came from behind the Origin. Suddenly, several silhouettes rushed out of the bushes, shining with silver light.
These Atlan had been hiding there for a long time. The first Atlan raised its crossbow the moment it charged out and aimed at the mammoth … the Origin in front of it.
Whoosh! The arrow flew through the air and instantly pierced through the Origin's chest before it could throw the long spear. It cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground.
"Ah …" The Origin let out a miserable cry. It stared at the mammoth in front of it with extreme unwillingness. It was so close to succeeding … why … why … did this happen …
It didn't understand until it died.
"Huh?" At this moment, Mammoth was also shocked by Atlan's shiny clothes. It rarely saw such a bright silver color on the grassland. After hesitating for a while, the mammoth decided to turn around and escape.
"Hurry up, before it dies completely!" When the Atlans saw that the mammoth had run away, they immediately came to the side of the Origin that had been shot by the arrow and placed a crystal on its forehead.
"You can find out the location of its colony just like that?" At this moment, an Atlan who was dressed in a rather unique way walked over.
This Atlan was the character that Lin was playing. Looking at these Atlan's movements, Lin once again felt that these crystals were indeed very mysterious …
When they saw the Origin Race clashing with the mammoths, they had made this decision … … when the battle was nearing its end, they would come out and deal with the remaining Origin Race clansmen.
If the Origin Race could defeat the mammoths, that would be for the best. This way, they would be able to obtain large amounts of meat for free, but the Origin Races weren't that powerful. The only damage they caused to the mammoth was a spear that pierced its leg. The wound was very shallow, and the mammoth did not seem to feel any pain.
Then, the Origin Race clansmen were all killed by the mammoths. Even so, these elite Atlan still planned on making a move.
This was because they wanted to know the location of the Origin Race clansmen. The Origin Race clansmen were most likely the Atlan, Ershi, and other creatures in their primitive state. As such, they should have formed a colony or something.
When they first saw a single Origin Race clansman, they weren't very sure if there was a colony nearby, but now that they saw a group of them, a few of the elites believed that there was definitely a colony nearby.
The elites believed that this colony might be a threat.
They hadn't completely confirmed that they were going to live here, but if they wanted to live here, they would need to deal with these Origin Race clansmen first.
Lin didn't think that this was a problem either. Normally speaking, the Origin Race wouldn't "welcome" Lin and the others to live here.
But Lin didn't expect the elites to be so "decisive". They wanted to directly attack the Origin Race's colony, kill them all, and then steal their resources. Because the Origin Race clansmen looked too similar to their own kind, they didn't eat their meat.
It was as if these Atlan weren't as … … "kind" as the ones Lin had met before. After all, the Voidfolk had been taught by the Atlan. If those Atlan were like these elites, then there wouldn't be any Voidfolk.
However, those Atlan probably only taught the Voidfolk because they didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Lin's colony hadn't been able to stabilize here yet, and creatures with different personalities all had different thoughts … …
The crystal they were using was a very special kind of crystal known as a "Longing Crystal".
The Atlan believed that when a creature was about to die, it would recall many things in the past. The most likely thing it would recall was its … … "home". In other words, this Origin Race clansman would recall their colony.
And this kind of longing would be extremely intense when the Origin Race clansman was about to die. If the Longing Crystal was placed on the Origin Race clansman's forehead, this crystal would be able to "absorb" the Origin Race clansman's emotions, allowing them to learn the location of their colony.
"That should be enough." The elite using the crystal picked it up, placed it on its forehead, and closed its eyes … …
"I can sense it … …" the elite pointed in a certain direction and said, "It's in that direction, not too far away."
Although Lin didn't know if this crystal could actually "absorb" the Longing Crystal … … it did seem to be useful. Lin had a feeling that it was able to sense the activity in the brain.
Next, the elite pulled out the arrow stuck in the Origin Race clansman's chest, then said to Lin, "What do you plan to do? I think … … "
"Let's all move out, I'll go with you" Lin said.
"… … Alright, I understand" although it wanted to say something else, it was stopped by Lin's words.
Next, Lin and all the other elites set out together, following the direction pointed out by the elite who had absorbed the Longing Crystal. Just as it said, it wasn't too far away. Soon, Lin and the other elites saw the ruins of a colony.
"It seems like they were attacked by something … …"
In front of Lin, there was a large area where no grass grew. Instead, the ground was littered with broken rocks and wood.
From their appearance, it could be seen that they were originally small wooden buildings, but now they had been reduced to rubble. Lin could see many footprints amidst the rubble.
These footprints were the footprints of mammoths. They were about the same size as the one they had just seen, but there were many of them. These mammoths … … seemed to be called "Emperor Mammoths".
Although they didn't look like emperors.
It seemed that this colony had been attacked by mammoths. This was probably why the Origin Race clansmen had fought so hard just now. Perhaps it was for revenge. Apart from the rubble of the houses, there were also many corpses.
Lin noticed that one of the corpses was lying on the ground. There was a mammoth footprint on its chest, which had flattened its entire chest.
However, what caught Lin's attention was the large number of creatures crawling on the corpse. These tiny creatures had hook-like teeth. Lin discovered that they were a group of creatures called 'Needle Ants', a minuscule species that did not have a brain.
However, their colony seemed to be quite large. Not only were there a large number of them gathered on this corpse, but they also formed a "river" that led to the surrounding corpses. Just like the Bullet Ants, these Needle Ants also had needles on their tails. Because of their presence, no other scavengers dared to approach them. However, as long as they didn't touch them, they wouldn't be attacked.
"Found it!" While Lin was watching, the elites had already spread out to search the area. Lin discovered that one of the elites had found a lot of fruits in a relatively intact wooden house.
This seemed to be the food they had been storing. This wooden house had been rammed by the mammoths, causing half of the wall to collapse. However, the things inside were basically fine.
It seemed that they had gained quite a bit from this trip … …
"Then let's move these things back. These Origin Race clansmen should be pretty much wiped out by now. They shouldn't be much of a threat," one of the elites said. The other elites walked over and began to help move the food.
"Rumble … …"
However, the sound of the ground shaking caused them to stop moving.
"Hurry up and hide!" One of the elites yelled. Lin and the other elites quickly ran to the nearby tall grass and lay down. At this moment, Lin saw a large group of figures appear in the distance.
Those were … … mammoths.
Ten mammoths and three cubs quickly approached from the grassland in the distance. They gathered beside the ruins. One of the older mammoths stepped into the ruins. It walked to the pile of debris of a wooden house, stretched out its trunk, and flipped open a large number of wooden branches. From inside, it grabbed a … curved tusk.
The mammoth curled up its tusk. It was unknown what it was thinking, but Lin felt that … … it seemed to be somewhat sad.
Perhaps this was the situation … … the Origin Race had killed a mammoth, which caused the entire village to be destroyed by the mammoths. Then, the Origin Race went to find the mammoths for revenge. Was this … … a story of mutual revenge?
It seemed that they were quite vengeful. Generally speaking, creatures that were vengeful would be able to obtain an advantage in life. However, if they were willing to risk their lives for revenge even when the entire group was about to be destroyed, then … …
"Wu!" Suddenly, the mammoth put down its tusk and looked in Lin's direction. The mammoths behind it did the same.
Could it be because of that?
The elite that had used the crystal … … it didn't seem to have cleaned off the blood of the Origin Race clansmen.
Mammoths seemed to have a good sense of smell, so it wasn't impossible for them to have noticed this. (To be continued … …)
