The rescue had earned the tribe's gratitude and trust, so it didn't take too much effort for Law to get them to accept Bruna's tentacles.
Once the communication channel was opened, Law and the scarred man could communicate normally. Biscay had also attached her tentacles to them and could hear their conversation.
"Thank you for your help."
His opening remarks were still expressing his gratitude, but there was also an obvious sense of admiration.
If it weren't for Law and Biscay, they would've been dead already. More than half of the skeletal lizard corpses on the ground were taken care of by Law and Biscay.
"You're welcome." Law replied politely.
After that, both sides introduced themselves.
From the scarred man's introduction, Law learned the scarred man's name.
Zhusheng was the scarred man's name, and their tribe's name was Zhusheng. They lived in a place chiseled out of stone in the ground, where there was a barrier against all kinds of dangerous creatures in the Underworld.
"Zhusheng, I found footprints on the resin of the Dragonblood Tree on the surface. Did you leave them behind?"
After the two sides had a basic understanding, Law picked out a question of his priority.
"No, the surface is more dangerous than the Underworld. Even if we knew the way to the surface, our tribe wouldn't go there easily." Zhusheng didn't know the Dragonblood Tree that Law was talking about, but he could answer Law's question with certainty.
Because their tribe's population wasn't large, they wouldn't rashly go to the surface, so the footprints couldn't have been left behind by them.
Law's eyes flashed. If the footprints on the resin weren't left by Zhusheng's tribe, then who could it be?
"Luo, which tribe are you from?" While Luo was pondering, Zhu Sheng's question startled him.
"We …" Law paused, hesitating for a moment, but in the next second, he threw away his hesitation and replied: "We're outsiders."
"Outsiders?" Zhusheng's face showed confusion, as if he didn't understand the meaning of this identity.
"Do you know Lake Mobius?" Law asked.
Zhusheng shook his head. "Perhaps the tribe leader knows."
Law was silent for a moment and explained: "You think we are from the outside world."
The place where the six continents are located is a huge lake in the Dark Continent, but in terms of their respective identities, Law is indeed from the outside world.
Hearing Law's further explanation, Zhu Sheng was horrified and speechless, mainly because in his understanding, the surface was too dangerous, even surviving underground was difficult enough.
However, there were actually humans coming from the outside world.
Law couldn't understand where the Zhisheng Tribe's terror came from, and he didn't want to dwell on the topic of identity. He only wanted to obtain information about the Darkness Continent from the Zhisheng Tribe, even if it was underground.
"We're new here. Can we stay at your place for a while?"
Knowing that there were many opportunities to clear up his doubts, and that they were still in a dangerous area, Law did not wait for Zhu Sheng to invite him. He took the initiative to do so.
"Of course, my friend." Zhu Sheng agreed straightforwardly.
Law smiled back at him.
Biscay didn't say anything, but she listened and obtained a lot of information. For example, the Zhisheng Tribe wasn't the only tribe here. There were other tribes here, and they were all in contact with each other.
Not only that, but there were also humans living on the surface.
In any case, there was no hurry to get more information. They first went to the Zhisheng Tribe's place and avoided this dangerous area.
"The wind will carry the smell of blood very far away. We've already been delayed for a long time, so we must leave as soon as possible." Zhu Sheng provided Law and the others with two white silkworms that had lost their masters.
According to Zhu Sheng's introduction, the white silkworms were gentle herbivores that lived together with their tribe. In a sense, the white silkworms lived under their tribe's protection.
The white silkworms had gentle temperaments. Law and Dongba rode one each, while Biscay rode the other.
As soon as they sat on the white silkworm, a few strands of white silk stuck to their waists and backs. Suddenly, they felt a strange sensation, as if they could clearly feel the white silkworm's existence. There was a very vague connection.
If they had to say it, it was the Blue Tribe's ability that had been weakened a hundred times.
The team made some simple preparations and prepared to leave this dangerous place.
Zhu Sheng rode the white silkworm and stopped near Law. When they were about to set off, they had to ask Bruna to remove her tentacles, which would close the communication bridge. This was a particularly troublesome point. After all, the two of them did not speak the same language.
Before removing the tentacles, Law saw that the Zhisheng Tribe did not react to the bone lizards on the ground. He asked curiously, "Aren't you out to hunt? Why don't you take the spoils with you? "
While the team was preparing, Law chatted with Zhu Sheng for a while and learned that the Zhisheng Tribe's team was out to hunt.
During the battle just now, Law had obtained information about the bone lizards. Although they were only C-rank, they were good enough to be food. Thus, he wondered why the Zhisheng Tribe did not take the bone lizards with them.
Zhu Sheng's eyes flashed with sorrow. He sighed, "There are very few parts of the bone lizards that can be eaten, and they're too hard. We don't have the time or ability to deal with them."
There were many monsters underground. The bone lizards were a branch of the Bone Tribe, and one of the monsters that the Zhisheng Tribe did not want to encounter the most. At the same time, they hated bone lizards.
That was because the bone lizards did not attack them for food. They just liked to kill.
Killing without the purpose of survival went against the Zhisheng Tribe's belief in survival. Thus, the Zhisheng Tribe hated bone lizards.
Hearing this, Luo understood, then raised his rusty long sword and said, "I can help you."
As soon as he said that, Zhu Sheng was stunned. He stared at the rusty sword, thinking that Law was joking. In the battle just now, he had only seen that Law's sword could not cut through the bone lizards.
Zhu Sheng did not reply for a while. His companions thought that it was not good to stay here for long, so they all urged him.
Zhu Sheng had no choice but to tell them what Law meant.
When he said that, the thirty or so members of the Zhisheng Tribe looked at Law suspiciously.
Under the suspicious gazes of the Zhisheng Tribe, Law jumped down from the white silkworm and used his actions to prove his point.
He held his sword and easily cut open the bone lizard's hard outer bones in front of the Zhisheng Tribe members. Due to Bai Yan's words, he did not dissect it randomly. Instead, he went straight to the key part. He cut open the spine and took out a long piece of meat that was about five kilograms.
Seeing that Law did it, the members of the Zhisheng Tribe were shocked.
The bone lizards were the nightmare of the Zhisheng Tribe. The main reason was that killing the bone lizards was not effective in getting food. They would only lose the lives of their companions. But Law's action of taking out the meat in a few seconds broke their deep-rooted understanding.
