Chapter 127 - 112 I am Human, Hello!
"There’s something very powerful up ahead chopping down monsters, very powerful... it’s like slaughtering chickens... Damn it, what kind of physical fitness level is this, more monstrous than the monsters themselves." He squeezed out the words through clenched teeth.
His companions’ faces changed subtly.
"With his physical strength, he slaughtered many black shadows... But he was also hit a few times, he might grow eyes... Ah, I don’t know if he’s an ally or not!"
Eagle Eye suddenly remembered something, "Wait, that Alien, does he have a Donkey Head Mask!"
"Yes, yes, yes! He indeed has one!"
The telepath, Tado, anxiously exclaimed in the communicator: "What have we encountered... There might be that powerful Alien ahead, I will record until the last moment... We have really met him! The Governor’s foreknowledge was correct!"
"He’s charging at us!" Eagle Eye shouted, "Be careful, there are a few black shadows charging at us too!!"
Almost all the soldiers heard the howling wind and, with a "whoosh," raised their guns.
"It’s going to hit us!!"
As if welcoming the fury of a tempest, almost at the same moment the words were spoken, the surging storm reached them.
The Healer, almost instinctively, stretched out a hand, casting a resinous green light.
In the forefront were two black shadows!
This humanoid creature was covered in countless crimson eyes.
Cold, dead silence.
When touched by the greenish light, all of its eyes closed back up, and it remained motionless, zombie-like, in place.
"Ratatat!" The machine gun spurted out fierce flames, turning it into a sieve.
Following the black shadows was an incredibly fast streak of red light!
The anticipated mutual attack did not occur; as the red light was about to hit the black shadow, it suddenly leapt backward several steps.
It indeed was a Donkey-headed creature, clad in black armor.
He raised his shield as if to guard against the spray from the machine gun.
The soldiers widened their eyes, taking in the sight of this Donkey-headed Monster radiating a murderous aura... Its eye sockets flowed with magma-like fire, which blazed a couple of times before slowly extinguishing.
It seemed the other party possessed intelligence and was very cautious, emitting strange sounds from its throat.
"I am Human, hello." (spoken by Old Cat)
He made several hand gestures, signalling them to extinguish the resinous green flames.
...
...
This might be Humanity’s first contact with an intelligent civilization!
The real first one! (Old Cat doesn’t count!)
When Lu Yuan heard the gunfire, he realized he had encountered live Aliens, so he immediately stopped his high-speed running.
His brain buzzed.
"My damn life can really only be described by ups and downs."
He didn’t know what kind of emotions to harbor.
Joy? Delight? Sorrow? Tears of joy?
At this godforsaken place, my small step truly is a giant leap for all of Mankind! Experience new stories on empire
This is fucking indescribable with any word but "fuck"!
Lu Yuan adjusted his mental state and saw the ghastly green light and six creatures that looked very much like lizards... They wore transparent gas masks on their heads, had thick bulletproof vests on their tors, and their skin was covered with brown scales, with an average height of about 1.8 meters, walking upright, and carrying large backpacks on their backs.
The dark muzzles of their guns were pointed squarely at him.
[Unknown Civilization. Unknown Creature.]
[Alive, possibly intelligent. Possibly individuals from the Rize Civilization.]
[Mental state isn’t too good.]
[Shape: 5.6]
[Qi: 4.7] n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Spirit: 4.5]
[Ability: Telepathy]
[Extraordinary Level: Level 1]
This guy actually possesses telepathy?
Lu Yuan was stunned, which meant that this guy, in an attempt to use telepathy on him, had inadvertently seen the red moon and was then attacked by the [Monster], falling into this hellish place.
"Well, I’m really sorry, brother."
Looking at the other five lizard-like beings, they all had abilities as well!
It was clear that this was an elite squad, perhaps intent on subduing this terrifying anomaly.
But obviously, they lacked even a Level 1 Extraordinary Fire, with an average attribute score of only 5 points, making it a miracle they had made it this far.
Looking again, he noticed the candle-like object in their hands, shining with green light.
The Pioneer’s Eye, quite unusually, started to burn hot, as if conveying a danger signal.
Even the Extraordinary Spark began to leap wildly.
[A drop of blood sealed, originating from the [Ghost].]
[Please note, the "Ghost", is most likely the Pangu Continent’s strongest calamity.]
[Do not let the "Ghost" escape, not even a drop of blood; otherwise, you will die.]
[For every "Ghost" is undying.]
"Fuck!"
Lu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he almost exploded!
"Demon," "Monster," and now, he had encountered a "Ghost".
If the ability of a "Demon" is immortal, then the ability of a "Ghost" is simply undying.
Even a single droplet of blood had brought him an extreme sense of terror and palpitations.
"Aren’t these six guys afraid of death? To light up the seal of a ghost..." he quickly gestured for them to extinguish the flame.
At the same time, he said to Old Cat, "Comrade-in-arms, we’ve encountered the strongest calamity, what exactly is this ’Ghost’? Can it slaughter the ’Monster’?"
Old Cat began to search its fragmented memories, "Hmm... I seem to remember some things, Ghost, also known as ’Deceit’, is an absolute idealist entity, capable of slaughtering everything within the rules."
"But I believe that there’s no such thing as the strongest. Because ’Ghosts’ lack true wisdom; if you find their rules, you can avoid the corresponding risks."
"The ’Monster’ we’re currently facing, possessing a bit of intelligence, is an even more troublesome opponent in battle."
"Alright then... we can’t release the ghost until the very last moment, right?" Lu Yuan swallowed, "I need to communicate with this group of Rize people. Can I borrow your translator device?"
Old Cat spat out something resembling an earpiece: "Use this."
The communicator came with a built-in translator in its body.
With this small earpiece, he could achieve simultaneous translation.
"Friends, hello, I am an intelligent life form, human... Please extinguish that flame, let us fight together?" Perhaps because he had been away from human society for so long, Lu Yuan felt his bragging ability had declined.
In such a solemn occasion, he didn’t even know what he was saying.
Old Cat couldn’t stand it anymore. When you encountered me, Old Cat, you had all the right diplomatic phrases to say, so why have you turned into such a fool now?
So, it took the liberty of modifying Lu Yuan’s speech.
"Unknown civilization, greetings, I am a traveler from human civilization."
"Although the place where we meet is not delightful, I can still express with joyful emotion the encounter we are having at this very moment."
"First of all, there is one thing I would like to request, the candle in your hand is very dangerous. It seals a very horrific anomaly, the ’Ghost’, which, once it escapes the seal, will leave us nowhere to be buried."
"So, please extinguish the flame of the candle, then we can talk about the rest."
The words, while friendly, were also forceful: you must extinguish that flame, or we all die.
Lu Yuan’s face twisted into a bitter melon, he admitted that Old Cat’s speech was more dignified, but such tampering made him seem uneducated... as if he hadn’t graduated from elementary school.
Fortunately, he was wearing a Donkey Head Mask, so his facial expressions were not visible, but the flames in the eyes of the mask flickered.
...
On the other side, the Rize Civilization’s small team also looked curiously at Lu Yuan.
Terrifying, powerful.
The sudden appearance of an alien had somewhat eased the atmosphere of despair, as if they could still survive...
The identification ability user in the team’s eyes sparked a faint light.
[A possible intelligent life form.]
[Attribute: ???]
Alright, under the suppression of level, he, of course, couldn’t identify Lu Yuan’s specific attributes, but at least he concluded, "suspected to be an intelligent life form."
Then Old Cat issued a strange yet understandable language that made the small team gasp again.
The telepath, Tado, hurriedly relayed the message, "We’ve actually encountered an extraterrestrial civilization here! The other party is so strong! Can they defeat the monsters here! This is unbelievable... we now have a glimmer of hope!"
"The other party asked us to extinguish the lit resin... Should we obediently comply?"
"He said, Mother Earth’s blood is actually a ’Ghost’... What is a ’Ghost’?"
As Tado heard, joy and excitement also transmitted from the telepathic link... Okay, the pressure from the rear was also immense, since their team of soldiers was considered the strongest team that the Seventh Branch could dispatch.
There was actually not much hesitation.
In a situation of great disparity in strength, speaking like this was actually a form of politeness; direct use of force could solve the problem more effectively and faster.
After a few seconds of hesitation, the greenish flame was extinguished, and the cave was plunged into darkness.
Naturally, the Rize people also carried lighting tools, a type of high-power light based on radioactive batteries, also known as nuclear-powered lights.
The light flickered on and off, "sizzled" as if it might go out at any moment.
...
"In this cave, idealist interference is severe; indeed, electricity is not as stable as fire. However, this light can still be used."
Lu Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Possibly because there had just been a great battle, the "Monster" did not immediately send more minions to attack everyone.
Seizing this temporary safety, Lu Yuan led the group of Rize people to the location of the tent.
He felt a surge of excitement, and his heart was pounding rapidly.
He felt as if a thousand words were brewing inside his heart, heavy with significance.
But when it came down to it, facing another intelligent being, he didn’t know what to say...
...
