"You're scarier than a Tyrannosaurus." The girl noticed the ghastly aura that Zhang Lisheng's body emitted involuntarily when he was talking, causing the few aborigines around him to tremble and take a few steps back in unison. Baring their teeth in a defiant expression, they lowered their heads deeply with a strange color in their eyes. "You're even more charming than Iron Man …"
When Maddy was praising her big boss, a black female officer with a seductive face and outstanding temperament came out of a semi-permanent military camp in the gathering place and strode towards the beach ferry.
On the way, each of the sergeants saw the red, white, and blue ribbon on the back of the female officer and immediately saluted. The female officer did not stop walking and continued to return the salute until she reached the beach where the bloody conflict had just taken place.
With the help of the afterglow of the setting sun, she squatted down and looked at the sand carefully. The coarse sand, the slightly evaporated blood stains that had a strong stench, the big and small footprints all over the ground … Everything seemed so ordinary.
After observing for a few minutes, she did not find anything out of the ordinary. The female officer's legs were numb as she stood up. The moment she stood up, a small clump of gravel at the edge of the bloodstain caught her attention.
If it was not for her superhuman observation and special training, it would be impossible for ordinary people to notice the difference between such a small pile of fine sand mixed in the coarse sand.
However, when the female officer reached out to pick up the small handful of fine sand from the ground and rubbed it between her fingers, she looked at her fingers that had more than ten small wounds. Right away, her eyes narrowed abruptly as a shocked expression appeared on her face.
"Grinding the coarse sand here into fine sand? W-How much strength does this require …" After muttering to herself stiffly, she ordered through the intercom, "Health sergeants, you guys can come and clean up now." Then, she strode towards Zhang Lisheng who had harvested a lot in the distance as though nothing had happened.
"Sir, I'm Alison K. Amboy, the duty officer of the gathering place.
I see that you've exchanged a lot of things with the aborigines, so I'd like to remind you that if you don't plan to stay on this island, you can't take away any of the specialties here. "
"Oh, thank you for reminding me …" Zhang Lisheng looked at the military rank on the shoulder of the beautiful female officer who had just walked up to him. "Miss Second Lieutenant, I don't plan to take these things away. I just want to observe them on the island."
"Observe them. What you've exchanged for are all strange-looking insects. What's so good about them …
Oh, are you a biologist? You don't look like one. "
"I'm indeed studying in the Department of Biology at Stanford University," the young man said with an innocent smile.
"Oh, so you're a rocket expert."
"Rocket expert?"
"This is a slang term that specifically refers to geniuses like you who are doing research at a famous university at a very young age. It sounds better than Frankenstein.
Speaking of which, not only are you a rocket expert, but you're also lucky enough to land on the island on the first day of navigation … "
"I'm sorry, Miss Second Lieutenant. My boss is not the first person to come to the island, but he's the future investor of this island." When Maddie, who was by the side, heard that the topic of conversation between the female officer and Zhang Lisheng was becoming more and more personal, a smile gradually appeared on her face as well. Without warning, she held the young man's arm and said, "Lisheng, look, Mr. Charlie has been standing on the land that he likes for a long time already.
Let's go and ask him how much it costs to buy that piece of land. "
"Okay, Maddy.
Goodbye, Miss Second Lieutenant. " Zhang Lisheng nodded and waved at the female officer before walking to the gate of the gathering place with the girl. Looking at his disappearing back, a profound expression appeared on Alison's face.
"Maddie, what do you think the purpose of that female officer asking me so many questions?" Vaguely sensing that there was a gaze staring at him from behind, the young man, who was holding a long string of supernatural realm's insects tied to a bark rope in his left hand, raised it up high and carefully observed it before asking casually.
"Do you really want me to say it out loud when it's so obvious? She's hitting on you! Some dark-skinned women like Asian boys …"
"Hitting on me? Sh * t! I don't think she's that bored." Zhang Lisheng blocked the girl's outrageous speculation.
He looked at the Other World insect in his hand that had long fangs and looked like a ladybug, but its body was more than ten times bigger. Suddenly, it exploded into a pile of meat with a pop. He sighed regretfully and shifted his attention to another insect that looked similar to a Rhinoceros Beetle, but it was coffee-colored. He did not say anything else.
When he walked to the only gate of the gathering place that led to the outside world, he raised his head and looked at the artillery that was mounted on the wall like a hedgehog. Then, he looked at the dense jungle several hundred meters away from the gate and muttered to himself, "There's artillery but no guards? This is …"
"Tudenan's powerful guardian, Great Son of the Sea, Zhang Lisheng! To think that you're also in this tribe of strange people in this foreign land! This is really God's blessing on our tribe!" Without warning, a few aborigines, who were still carrying animal fur and raw meat that were still dripping with blood, walked into the gathering place from the gate and kneeled on the ground as they shouted with a mixture of sorrow and joy.
Of course, Zhang Lisheng, who was just trying to deceive others by gesticulating with the supernatural realm's aborigines, could understand their words. Not only that, one of the aborigines who was taller and stronger than the ordinary aborigines among them seemed to have left a similar impression on him.
However, when the young man was mistaken by the Tudenan's hunting team as the supernatural realm's sea spiritual monster and accidentally became the tribal guardian, his appearance was that of a three-meter-tall giant covered in scales. Now that he was recognized by these aborigines in just one glance, he could not understand it at all.
"Lisheng, these aborigines seem to be kneeling and worshipping you, and they're even calling your name …"
While Zhang Lisheng was in a daze, he, who was considering that he should not communicate with the Tudenan supernatural realm's aborigines in the human gathering place, was suddenly shocked by Tina's words and broke out in a cold sweat.
He had inexplicably told his real name in the Tudenan tribe before. Right now, even though the pronunciation of these aborigines kneeling on the ground was not accurate, if one were to listen carefully, they could indeed call out the pronunciation of the name 'Zhang Lisheng'.
It was true that quietly communicating with the aborigines in the human gathering place might attract attention, but it was still better than being called out by the indigenous midgets by his name and kneeling before him.
"Warriors of Tudenan, there's no need to salute. Go and do what you're supposed to do." Before he attracted too much attention, Zhang Lisheng suddenly took a step forward. The muscles on his thighs that were hidden in his dark casual pants bulged like steel, with countless blue veins appearing. With the conduction of his strength on the ground, the aborigines kneeling on the ground were shaken to the point that they could not help but stand up.
However, the instant those aborigines stood up, they hurriedly kneeled down again and cried out in sorrow, "Guardian Zhang Lisheng, the Tudenan tribe has already reached a tragic state of imminent destruction. There are only a few survivors left.
The reason why we've climbed over countless mountains to come to this legendary outlander tribe is to preserve the tribe's inheritance from being destroyed. The sacred totem has already collapsed and you're one of the hopes for the revival of the tribe … "
Upon hearing their wailing, Zhang Lisheng finally realized that even though these few Tudenan aborigines did not have any scars on their bodies, their expressions were obviously very haggard. Under their ferocious and ugly faces, there was a vague sorrowful expression that could not be concealed.
However, no matter how miserable the Tudenan people were, the young man no longer cared about it. When he saw that more and more people were paying attention to this place, he lowered his voice and roared indiscriminately to block the aborigines' sorrowful narration. "Tudenan's enemies have long been hiding in this big city. Your actions now will only lead to the complete destruction of the tribe.
Hide here and wait for my summon. After I've found strong reinforcements, I'll definitely bring all of you to revive the tribe. "Turning around, he brought the dumbstruck Maddie and strode out of the gathering place's gate.
Leaving behind the few Tudenan aborigines who had a surprised and hopeful look in their eyes as they quietly hid in the crowd.
At the same time when they hid their bodies, Maddie, who was forcefully pulled away by Zhang Lisheng, suddenly shouted in a whisper. "I know! I know! They're your believers!
God's descendant! That's right! You're a God's descendant! You've already developed your own sect in the supernatural realm! In this case, you've actually discovered this world earlier than the US government, or perhaps … "
"Stop making wild guesses, Maddie! It's not what you think!" Zhang Lisheng looked at the girl who had a look of realization and whispered irritatedly, "I plan to stay at the berth and wait for the ship to come.
You can either walk around the gathering place by yourself like Charlie and Edward, or you can stay by my side without saying anything. "
"I choose the second option," Maddie immediately replied and made a gesture of zipping her mouth shut.
After that, the girl and the young man walked to the beach and watched the insects that he was carrying in his hand being refined into nothingness by the 'assimilate' spell. When the last insect exploded in Zhang Lisheng's hand, a giant ship coincidentally appeared faintly on the sea.
The time to return had finally arrived. Zhang Lisheng, who originally planned to try his luck by refining the supernatural realm's insects that he had bartered with the aborigines, was not depressed by the fact that all of the insects had died. Instead, after some quiet contemplation, his agitated mood had now completely calmed down.
After boarding the cruise ship, he looked at the human gathering place on the supernatural realm's island that had another 300 to 400 pioneers left behind. Knocking on the ship's side thoughtfully, he suddenly said, "Charlie, I suddenly feel that this giant island gives off a feeling of infinite business opportunities.
Why don't we invest some money in the future and do a cruise business from New York to the supernatural realm? "
"C-Cruise business? We've never been in contact with this industry before." If it was someone else who suddenly mentioned the LS Group that had always been engaged in the slaughtering industry and doing a cruise business that had nothing to do with it, Charlie would have long spat on that person's face. However, since it was Zhang Lisheng who brought it up, the meaning was, of course, completely different.
He deliberated and said, "Even though the group has abundant funds now, the recent expansion has also been unprecedentedly huge. If we take this opportunity now …"
"Alright, Charlie, I don't want to hear too much explanation. Just tell me directly whether it's feasible or not," the young man said with a frown.
