Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 306: Indigenous

The exotic beast was extremely alert. It sensed the changes in the Origin Energy in space as it headed towards the river. He poked his head out and drank water. Occasionally, his eyes would shine with yellow light, and some four-legged strange fish would float up from the river. The exotic beast opened its mouth wide and swallowed the strange fish clean. After a few repetitions, it had enough to eat and drink, and lay down in a sunny spot by the river, lazily basking in the sun.

Ellen didn't want to alarm the beast and made a gesture. Everyone was about to bypass it. Belmond suddenly pulled Ellen and pointed behind the exotic beast. Alan focused his attention and saw a faint figure appear in the bushes behind the beast. Suddenly, a rope net flew out from the bushes. Stones were tied around the rope net to increase the weight of the rope net. The person who threw out the rope net was clearly an expert in hunting. The rope net was draped by the weight of the stone. The stone pulled the rope net apart and covered the space around the beast.

The exotic beast was very alert. It had already discovered it when the rope net came, but it was still a step too slow to make the net strong. It roared and struggled, but it was unable to tear it apart for a moment, and it was getting tighter and tighter. The beast's eyes lit up and the rope net burned. Just as he was about to burn it, strange cries echoed out from behind the forest, and figures flew out one after another. The sound of air-splitting rang out loudly, and rough wooden spears shot out with lightning.

One end of the spear was sharpened, and the tool was very backward. However, each wooden spear was attached with Origin Energy, and it was extremely destructive. Dozens of wooden spears stabbed at the exotic beast in the net and stabbed the wild beast to death.

Alan and the others couldn't believe their eyes. It wasn't surprising to see any strange creatures on this planet. But the hunters that emerged from the woods were undoubtedly humans. Although they wore grass skirts, beast hides, and painted faces, Alan believed that he was not mistaken. These were all humans.

Everyone was surprised to see their own kind on an unknown planet. These planet natives did not know that there were unfamiliar visitors on the other side of the river. They shouted excitedly because they had hunted down a wild beast. A man who was obviously the leader gestured, "Take it back."

Although there are slight differences in tone, there is no doubt that this is the common language of the earth. Alan wondered if he had heard wrongly. Even if humans appeared on this planet, their language was unexpectedly very close to Earth. In other words, the civilization of this planet is very close to Earth. It could even be regarded as a young planet!

On the other side of the river, the natives had already erected their corpses and carried them into the forest. The native leader casually glanced at the bushes where Allen and the others were hiding, but he did not notice that he was following behind the group with a wooden spear.

"Follow me." Alan said softly.

Only after the natives had left did they emerge from the bushes. Amongst the four of them, Alan and Belmond were both experts in field tracking. The natives didn't have any obvious intention of removing the traces. Alan and the others weren't afraid of losing them. As the four of them crossed the river, Belmond walked in front of them and followed the traces left behind by the natives. As the forest deepened, traces of indigenous activity became more visible.

Under the canopies of some large trees, some exotic beast bones would even be tied with ropes as a warning.

Belmond suddenly stopped.

A faint human voice could already be heard here. Alan and the others were at the bottom of a grassy slope. They looked down and saw that there was a stronghold at the bottom of the slope. The stronghold was built on a spacious meadow, and the natives used stones and thick wooden branches to form a circle around the defensive fence. The crude wooden houses they had built were scattered in the strongholds. If one looked closely, they would find that these wooden houses also had a certain degree of defensive function.

The stronghold was packed with people, and there were at least one or two hundred people living there. They could be considered a large tribe. The stronghold was very lively, with people coming and going, as well as the natives passing by with some livestock. This place was full of vitality, causing Allen and the others to be speechless.

Allen's heart skipped a beat and he looked behind him like lightning. It just so happened that a wooden spear flew out from the bushes. The spear was poured with Origin Energy, and a powerful sound of air-piercing could be heard.

Of course, this was not difficult for Ellen.

Without even using Qianjun, he kicked the middle of the spear and bounced the wooden spear away.

At this time, a few natives jumped out of the bushes and aimed their wooden spears at Allen and the others. The shouts came from the branches above everyone's heads. They raised their heads and some of the natives emerged from behind the trees, all of them raising their spears in opposition.

Alan, they're surrounded.

Belmond had a smile on his face, and a pitch-black dagger had slipped out of his sleeve at some unknown time. He was about to make a move. Ellen reached out and stopped him, "Don't do it yet."

"We didn't mean any harm. We just passed by. We got lost in the forest." Alan said loudly.

One of the natives called out, "Liars! You are from Sur City, you are here for our sake!"

"We're not from Sur City." Alan emphasized.

"There's no need to talk nonsense with them. The people of Sur are all cunning people. Kill them and bring their corpses to Caesar!" A native man jumped down from the tree and stabbed his wooden spear at Alan.

Wilick snorted and flashed towards the natives. The Angry Beast Armor smashed and shattered the native wooden spear. Then he closed his shoulders and knocked him away. Were it not for Ellen's intent to make a move, William would not have knocked him away so easily.

However, when he made his move, the other natives had already pounced over with strange cries.

Belmond flashed out like a ghost, his dagger swam, leaving behind a winding black saber light. The natives' wooden spears and aprons were torn apart by the inconspicuous knife, and before they could figure out what had happened, Belmond had either tripped over or smashed them down on the nose.

Edward was much more relaxed. The Maritans' eyes changed color under the sunshine of the woods. The natives who rushed towards him were hypnotized. They suddenly slowed down and fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Allen took out Qianjun from the saber sheath behind him and casually swept his heavy saber. The edge of the saber pulled out an orange light and slashed 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 vibrated again, producing a tragic saber intent that shocked all the natives. Alan then said, "I repeat, we are not from Sur City. If we were enemies, we would have attacked now."

Indigenous people, look at me, I look at you, when you still can't make up your mind. A deep voice sounded, "I believe you."

The voice came from behind the native warriors. The native warriors moved aside one after another. A tall and muscular man wearing a beast hide cape walked forward with a spear in his hand. The spear in his hand was clearly much more delicate than the one used by the warriors. It was carved with complicated curves. 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 "Caesar".

That should be his name.

Caesar came to Ellen and the others and said, "Your attire is completely different from that of the people of Sur. Tell me, young travellers, where are you from, and I want to know if you are Baymond's enemies or friends?"

Alan put away Chiyo with a smile and spread out his hands. "We came from the end of the world. Whether we are enemies or friends 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 Alan didn't know what the Abyss Well was. He revealed an enigmatic 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 and conquered the demons, Byron does not want to be enemies with the warriors who conquered them. So welcome, friends of Byron."

"Friend!"

"Friend!"

The native warriors raised their spears and shouted.

When Allen and the others entered the native village, all the people in the past cast curious gazes at them. It was clear that Ellen's clothes did not match the primitive grass skirts of the natives, nor were they the Sur City people that they had always talked about. Therefore, for a moment, the natives in the stronghold couldn't figure out who Allen and the others were.

Caesar was the leader of the stronghold, also known as the leader. He was a noble and valiant warrior, and Allen and the others were brought in by him, so the natives were suspicious, but no one regarded them as enemies. It was because they knew that the valiant Caesar only welcomed his friends and never compromised with his 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 beast hides on the rough ground. Caesar gave them some rest, and in the evening a party was held to welcome their distant friends.

"What are your plans?"

After the natives left, Edward walked behind Alan who was standing by the window and asked.

Alan turned around and said, "From what they said just now, you should also hear that their enemy seems to be from a city called Sur. If this planet already has such a product, there is no guarantee that there won't be a country. I think it is necessary to contact the so-called Sur City to understand the civilization of this planet."

"I think of a possibility."

"What? Tell me."

Edward's pupils turned from bright red to dark gold, and he said: "In our current state, we may be staying on this planet for some time." According to your process of expanding Colonial Stars, we should develop our own spheres of influence and territories. If it were in the past, when you arrived at an unfamiliar planet, you would inevitably have a violent friction with the planet's natives in the early stages of your exploration. "

"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. There are so many of us that we don't even need to appear as outsiders."

Alan Chen Xin said, "You mean, let's change our faces and secretly merge into this planet?"

"That's right. Our first stop is Nasser City. We should first merge into Nasser City, figure out the civilization structure of this planet, and then establish our own territory. The simplest way is to let me control the city lord of Nasser City. After we figure out the power structure, I can even use'legal 'means to make them hand over the city to each other." Edward smiled and said, "You see, there's nothing easier to invade than this."
