Chapter 801 Remnants
This shocking fact stunned Hao Ren, but his reaction was not slow at all. The moment that figure flashed past the top of the wall, he had already rushed up: "Quick, grab him!"
A white figure flew past Hao Ren, followed by a large mass of bats carrying a bloody scent. Hao Ren, Vivian, and Lily leaped over the collapsed stone wall one after another, and a tall, agile figure was about to escape from the corner of the building at the end. Hao Ren and the others chased closely behind. At this superhuman speed, the surrounding scenery was even pulled into a series of illusory afterimages, but what was surprising was that the figure running in front had a speed comparable to Lily's. He narrowly escaped Lily's pounces several times, and constantly changed his escape route by using the surrounding collapsed and disordered boulder ruins: obviously, he was very familiar with the environment here, while Hao Ren and the others, who were new here, found these piles of stones a bit cumbersome.
But even so, the distance between the two sides was still constantly closing. Vivian, transformed into a swarm of bats, moved in the air, completely ignoring the interference of the terrain and continuing to harass from above. She constantly dropped cold ice pillars and lightning from the air, and the fleeing mysterious man was caught in a flurry by these attacks, looking very embarrassed. Hao Ren saw that the other party would occasionally burst out light and shadows similar to magic to resist Vivian's long-range attacks, but this still greatly affected his speed.
Finally, after bypassing a section of boulder wall, the figure was forced to an open space. He rolled on the spot without hesitation to avoid Vivian's lightning javelin, then flipped over nimbly like an ape, and drew a short knife from his waist to make a last-ditch stand. At this moment, there was a loud "boom" next to him, gravel flew, and dust rose. Lily directly smashed through an entire boulder building and rushed to the crowd: she was finally impatient with this endless circling and simply chose the most direct route.
"Stand there and don't move!" Lily, covered in dust, held a giant stone slab that looked at least a ton, and shouted loudly like a berserker, "My brick hits every time! If you run again, I'll smash you into the ground so you can't even be shoveled up!"
Hao Ren then had the opportunity to see clearly what kind of person he had been chasing all the way, but he saw that the other party was a tall and strong young man. He was wearing strange clothes that seemed to be sewn from animal skins, and his face was painted with crisscrossing patterns in green paint. His hair was draped roughly behind him, looking like an Indian who had walked out of a painting. His weapons were a short bow and a short knife, and his quiver seemed to have been dropped somewhere during the escape just now.
This strangely dressed man was completely frightened by Lily's superhuman actions: a creature that could smash through three layers of stone walls with its head and could still jump around holding a ton of boulders seemed to not exist on this planet. However, he couldn't understand what Lily was saying. He thought that the latter was aiming or cheering before throwing the stone, so he naturally chose to continue running.
Hao Ren drew his long spear and blocked his path with a plasma light cannon.
"Gelukak! Tal Burtaru!" The native, dressed like an Indian, said something inexplicable and ran in another direction.
Hesperiana's two followers happened to rush out of the shadows at this time. Duncan came to the other party like a black mist with a ghostly movement, blocking the last retreat with the noble's rapier in his hand, while Cassandra rose into the air, holding a blood-red magic spear high to deter the enemy on the ground.
The other party had completely no way to escape.
"Calm down, put down your weapons, we have no malice," Hao Ren slowly walked towards the native, while waving to Lily to signal her to throw away the scary giant brick, "I know we don't speak the same language, but this problem will be solved soon..."
Nangong Sanba teleported to Hao Ren in a flash and said casually, "You know you don't speak the same language, so why are you still babbling?"
Hao Ren glanced at him sideways: "Nonsense, this is the work process."
After Nangong Sanba, May also climbed over from the wall next to him. She dared to show her face only when she saw that it didn't seem like there would be a fight.
The crowd narrowed the encirclement. The native man trapped in the middle seemed to see that these people wanted to "capture him alive." He held his short knife nervously and kept retreating. From his steps and the way he held the knife, it could be seen that he was a person skilled in combat. After hearing Hao Ren's shouting, the man babbled a lot of things. Although the language was not understandable, the translation plug-in had already started working quickly.
Reading the other party's mental activity, embedding brain waves, reorganizing information... everything was completed in an instant. Hao Ren shouted a few more times with the other party. After several seemingly mismatched "conversations," a preliminary language database was established.
"Please put down your weapons, we have no hostility. If you cooperate, I guarantee your safety."
Hao Ren spoke again, but this time he spoke the other party's language.
The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed: "Demon! You stole my language?!"
Hao Ren was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Why is the imagination of the natives of this world so rich?"
"We are not demons," Nangong Wuyue mustered up her courage (hiding behind Hao Ren) and poked her head out to say to the other party, "We are... um, explorers, passing by here. We didn't even know that people lived here. Look, we've already put down our weapons."
The man's vigilance did not decrease much. He especially looked at Lily warily, his face full of "are you kidding me, what's the difference between this mini-Titan taking a weapon or not" expression. And Lily was shaking the dust off her body at this time, her whole person shaking like a dust storm, and she didn't pay attention to this side at all.
The two sides fell into a stalemate for the time being. It seemed that it would take some effort to make the other party let down their guard. Hao Ren was not surprised by this. He had already begun to rummage through the "interracial conflict resolution skills" and "communication methods in special situations" that he had learned from the manual. He believed that since he had controlled the other party's actions, then establishing a dialogue was only a matter of time, so he was not worried. At this time, a sharp bat cry came from above, and a dark group of bats landed beside Hao Ren, swirling and condensing into Vivian's figure.
"Tsk, it's really always encountering strange things," Vivian smacked her lips, "This world actually has people... the Purgatory space that's been recorded so mysteriously. Not only are there flowers and grass deep underground, but there are also people! I don't know if anyone will dare to believe it when I go back and tell those old fogeys."
While muttering, she turned to look at the native man who had painted his face like a tribal warrior and curiously looked at the other party a few times.
And just as she turned her face, the "tribal warrior" saw Vivian's face.
A look of great shock appeared on his face, and almost at the same time, the short knife in his hand suddenly lit up with a dark red light. The tribal warrior instinctively prostrated on the ground and bowed to Vivian with great reverence: "Goddess, you have manifested in this world! You have manifested in this world!"
Vivian was immediately shocked and jumped behind Hao Ren in a flash: "What's wrong with this person?"
Hao Ren was also confused, and at this time, Hesperiana came out from not far away—she had already arrived before, but because she was worried that there were other natives nearby, she had been guarding the surroundings just now.
After seeing Hesperiana, the tribal warrior was a little stunned for a moment. He seemed very confused about this woman who looked almost exactly like Vivian.
At the same time, the short knife in his hand also reacted to Hesperiana's approach, but the reaction was very weak, and the red light was almost invisible.
Hao Ren and the others looked at each other: What's going on?
"Anyway, it seems like we can talk properly," Lily finally shook off the dust on her body. She was broad-minded and didn't think so much, "Bat, he seems to have mistaken you for someone else?"
"He just mentioned 'goddess'," the waves in Hao Ren's heart were just surging, "The goddess was also mentioned on those stone slabs just now... I think we've finally encountered something big!"
On this planet sown by the eldest son, as long as the people's faith is not wrong, there can only be one goddess.
The Creator Goddess.
What Raven 12345 once said echoed in Hao Ren's mind:
Vivian is not the Creator Goddess—but she is of great importance.
Perhaps on this planet, he can finally find the connection between Vivian and the Creator Goddess!
