Chapter 403: Aboriginals

Regarding the real red question, Konoha's answer is this.

"I don't believe you, because intelligent creatures may deceive others. But just know that you are not predators. The white thing I gave you before is animal fat, which is a very precious food. But you didn't eat it and showed a very disgusted expression, which means you don't eat animals very much. Then I gave you the cake we made from the fruits of the pink fruit tree. Although you didn't seem to like it, you ate it. It means you eat plants. But in order to prevent you from deceiving me and forcing yourself to eat those foods, I asked you to show your food. As a result, although I didn’t recognize the things you gave me, one of them was obviously some kind of plant. The fruit above seems to be food made from something similar to the fruit powder in the pink fruit. In other words, it is also something from plants.

So, I determined that you eat plants for a living, not meat.

Those above are your companions, that is, you are people from the same village. Your food should be the same, so you don’t eat meat. Now that I know you don't know how to eat meat, you definitely won't eat me. So I have nothing to fear. I can safely make friends with you. "

Hearing Konoha's words, Zhenhong felt a little dizzy, but she didn't expect that this was the reason why the other party believed in her. Although the other party's understanding is beneficial to us now, Zhenhong still plans to make it clear to the other party.

"What... Although your perception is a bit off, your conclusion is still correct. But I still need to explain it to you."

"You tell me." Konoha obviously likes to listen to others.

Zhenhong thought for a moment and said, "Well, although we really don't eat humans, your judgment is wrong. Our species actually eats meat."

"What? You eat meat?" Konoha was obviously frightened and quickly backed away, then looked at Zhen Hong with a worried look. It was as if he was afraid that Zhenhong would suddenly transform into a giant beast and rush up to bite him. Of course, in a sense, True Red is actually a more terrifying existence than the giant beast.

"Can you not be so surprised? Although we eat meat, we don't eat all kinds of meat!"

"You don't eat human flesh?"

"Well, are you eating it?" Zhenhong asked casually. The answer he didn't expect blinded him.

"Yeah, I eat sometimes."

This time it was really red and I was surprised. "Do you eat human flesh?"

Konoha asked in a matter-of-fact manner: "Don't you eat people after they die and let them be eaten by other animals? It's too wasteful for you, isn't it? That's a lot of meat!"

Zhen Hong instantly felt that her world view had collapsed, but she heard my voice coming over before she could react. "They are obviously still in the tribal era when food is in short supply. No trace of food can be wasted. Although cannibalism is incomprehensible in modern times, in their period, it is actually a social need. Using the remains of their dead companions allows More people survive, which is the inevitable result of stress."

"But they live in the forest. The plants here are so dense, so there should be a lot of food, right?"

Jin Coin suddenly came over and said, "Have you forgotten what happened last night?"

When Zhenhong heard what Gold Coin said, she suddenly remembered that she was almost killed last night. In the air battle early this morning, the Rainbow Alliance fleet actually abandoned a large part of its warships due to lack of manpower, which shows how heavy their losses were last night.

We and the Rainbow Alliance are both players. Even if there are NPCs on the ship, they are the ones with higher combat effectiveness among the free NPCs. After all, they are soldiers fighting, and even ordinary soldiers are much stronger than ordinary people. In this case, we and the Rainbow Alliance still suffered heavy casualties. Although there was a reason why we were attacked at night because we were not familiar with the situation, but no matter what. The creatures here are certainly dangerous.

Since the creatures here are so dangerous, Konoha, as a native living here. Their lives can be imagined.

Now standing here, we can clearly feel that Konoha has almost no energy, which means that he does not know magic and has no fighting ability at all. Of course, I'm talking about the combat power of players. If it was just a street fight, he should still have the fighting ability.

However, with this kind of fighting power, in such a place, those monsters are almost invincible. In this case, they can only be like rats living in the human world, hiding and collecting food all day long, so one can imagine the difficulty of life. Even though the products in this forest are very rich, it is very difficult to collect these foods based on their mobility, so I say that their food is extremely scarce.

In fact, it is similar to what I imagined. Although their living environment in this place is okay, there are too many monsters. They can't even survive in caves on the ground or in the mountains like the primitive indigenous people on the earth. They can only live in caves under the ground, and they need to seal the entrance to avoid being discovered, because as long as monsters invade the caves, they will often be exterminated. s consequence.

It is already very difficult to survive in this environment, so it is understandable that they eat their dead companions. As long as you don't deliberately kill your companions for food, even cannibalism is an expression of humanity. In fact, in reality, many primitive tribes even regard eating the corpse of their dead companion as a ritual. They believe that this allows them to inherit the knowledge and power of the dead companion, so that the companion and themselves will never be separated. Compared with the kind of cannibal pervert in reality, although it does similar things, the meaning is completely different.

As the three of us talked, the junior super aviation battleship had already sailed over our heads. The huge junior super aviation battleship covered the sky, and it felt like the entire forest had become darker.

It was early in the morning, and the sky had not yet fully opened. In addition, it was dark here in a dense forest, so this blockage made it completely impossible to see. Fortunately, we people here have methods, and that Konoha seems to have very good night vision, and has never been affected by darkness before.

Konoha didn't say anything when he saw so many people here. Then after waiting for a while, he suddenly looked at me and asked, "Are you the village chief?"

"Village chief?" I was shocked by this title.

The gold coin on the side laughed without any image. "Hahahaha... village chief! Boss, he said you are the village chief!"

That Mo Min in Konoha was so messed up by us. Finally, he couldn't help but look at me and asked: "Did I say something wrong? I feel like they all listen to you. Are you just the little boss?"

"Ah ha ha ha ha... little boss! Oops, I can't do it anymore. I'm laughing so hard! My stomach hurts!" Gold Coin patted my shoulder and laughed so hard that I almost rolled on the floor.

"Have you laughed enough?" I kicked the gold coin, then turned to this Konoha and said: "I am the president of the Frost Rose Alliance. You can understand our Frost Rose Alliance as a village, so I am also the village leader. Yes. But our village is very large. And because there are too many people to live in one gathering point, we have many, many gathering points. Moreover, because we have too many gathering points, other species often attack us. People, so we formed a team dedicated to fighting the enemy. This team is called the army. I am the president of the Frost Rose Alliance. I am the highest leader of the Frost Rose Alliance. Everyone listens to me. This army also listens directly to I direct. Do you understand what I mean?"

Konoha nodded vigorously and said: "Understood. You are the most powerful in the village, and everyone listens to you. You are the chief of a big tribe, and your tribe has many villages."

The gold coin was really lying on the ground twitching now, and she was laughing so hard that she could hardly breathe. This kid from Konoha is so descriptive. He just got rid of the title of village chief and became a chief in the blink of an eye. For modern people. When I hear the word chief, I think of the image of an Indian tribe with chicken feathers on their heads, so this title once again made Jin Coin laugh.

"Okay! Let the chief be the chief! What about your chief here? I want to meet him."

"this……"

"What's wrong?"

"There are so many of you, I can't take you back directly. What if you attack us? Although the tribes don't eat each other's living people, they will fight for food! And if you resist, you will be beaten to death. Being eaten.”

I can understand Konoha's wariness, but it's a bit of a problem to convince him. I don’t know why this guy seems to have no reaction to my coercive attributes. I don’t know if it’s because he’s not a combat NPC.

In any case, it was hard to persuade this guy now. Finally, I came up with a way, which was to show him the food we had stored.

Because there is a hunger level setting in the game, you need to eat regularly. But sometimes when doing tasks, you will get stuck in certain places and cannot return to the city for a long time. Players who don't have the conditions to return can just learn cooking skills and then figure out how to solve the problem in the wild. Anyway, food can be found in most tasks. Of course, it is incomparable to the ones bought in the city, the taste is not very good, and it is very troublesome. What's more important is that cooking skills need to occupy a space in life and career, so many people don't want to learn them.

I don’t have this skill, so I bring my own food. In fact, not many of us Frost Rose League players learn to be chefs, because we have a storage space like the Phoenix Dragon Space that is so incredible that it can hardly be filled, so we prepare tons and tons of food and so on. Anyway, it won't break if placed in Fenglong Space.

Regarding the massive amount of food we showed, Konoha just swallowed his saliva, and then rejected our wish even more decisively. I'm starting to realize now that this guy is a tease because his reasons are also hilarious. We showed him mountains of food to prove that we didn't want to rob them of food, but his theory was that we have a habit of hoarding large amounts of food, so the demand for food must be extremely high, so we must rob them. them.

Regarding this theory... I really don't know how to explain it. Anyway, this guy makes no sense at all!

The last way I can think of to deal with this guy is to do it hard.

"Forget it, I can't handle this guy. Ling, I'll leave it to you."

"Young hunter, please look into my eyes." As soon as Ling finished speaking, Konoha trembled, and then a wooden sign hanging around his neck suddenly exploded, shocking us. When this thing exploded, Konoha obviously shook a bit, with the intention of struggling, but in the end it only shook a few times and stabilized. Ling and his eyes looked at each other for thirty seconds, then waved his hand and said, "It's done."

"I am willing to obey your orders, my great and omnipotent goddess." Konoha knelt down on one knee. Salute to Ling.

I glanced at Konoha on the ground, and then asked Ling: "What happened just now?"

"The piece of wood on this kid's body is a spiritual talisman that can block the intrusion of spiritual power. Have you noticed before that this guy is not affected by your coercion?"

I nodded and said, "Indeed, this guy didn't react at all to my pressure."

"So! It's because of this thing. But compared to my mind control, the protective power of this thing is just a layer of window paper. Once it is pierced, it will be over."

Jin Coin suddenly said: "I think there may be a lot of this thing in their tribe, at least people who are on missions will have it."

"How do you know?" Zhenhong asked.

Jin Coin explained: "Because I guessed what this thing is used for."

"Isn't it used to isolate mental attacks?" Zhenhong asked.

"No, on the contrary, this thing is not to intercept external mental attacks, but to block his own mental fluctuations."

Zhen Hong is not stupid, he suddenly reacted when he heard this. "Are you saying that this thing is specially prepared for mind-reading monsters?"

In fact, this is easy to guess. There seem to be a lot of mind-reading monsters here, and their offensive and defensive attributes are not very good. As long as you don't let it read your mind, it's no big deal. And I discovered that mind-reading monsters don’t even have eyes. They rely on the fluctuations of other people’s thoughts to find attack targets. Because of this attribute characteristic, if this Konoha carries something that can isolate the mind-reading monster's induction, then for the mind-reading monster. Konoha is invisible. He can even walk around a mind reader without being noticed at all.

Although this Konoha tribe is an ordinary creature without much fighting power, they survive in such an environment without any coping strategies. That's strange. Sometimes, many native methods can actually play a very good role. Like this talisman around Konoha's neck. Although the attributes are very low and are almost useless in combat, it is very simple to block an ordinary person's thought waves. After all, their original thought wave intensity is very low. but. If this thing were on me, it would definitely be of no use at all, because it couldn't stop my strong thinking fluctuations at all.

Although we can't use this amulet ourselves, we do know what to do if we encounter a mind-reading monster again. In fact, we only need to use mental shielding to shield ourselves, and then we will disappear from the sight of the mind-reading monsters, and it will be easy to kill them.

After this Konoha was controlled, we immediately asked him to lead us towards our village. Now his consciousness has been completely controlled. This advanced control will make him regard Ling's orders as his own wishes, so he will be very thorough. Continue to execute it without any thoughts of resistance, because he will feel that this is what he wants.

In fact, the control effect was so good mainly because Konoha's strength was too low. Ling actually didn't use any magic at all, but just used mental guidance and hypnosis to control him a little and got him. If Ling really needed to use magic, this guy's brain would probably explode!

Under the guidance of Konoha, the leading party, we found their village smoothly.

The village where Konoha lives is an underground cave, with the entrance located between a pile of rocks. You need to drill through a very small entrance before you can see the hole. but. Because the armor on my body is too big, I can't get in at all. The entrance is quite narrow and requires a very thin person to squeeze through. However, there is a shortage of food in this place, so it is impossible for the species Fatty to exist. Naturally, people in their village can enter and exit smoothly. Unfortunately, I had to take off my armor to get in.

Another person who had the same problem as me was Zhenhong, she couldn't get in either. There is no problem with the gold coins. She is already petite, and her Tianzun suit is a set of white fox fur. Although the fluffy long hair looks very big, it is actually very small after being squeezed, with holes drilled and so on. No need to worry at all.

Of course, if I were to go in alone, I would just take off my armor and get in, but there are many of us. In addition to me and Zhen Hong, Hong Yue also came over later, and there were several accompanying people from the fleet.

With so many people, it would obviously be too troublesome to drill them one by one. So we directly used a very violent method.

"Zhen Hong, come here and help me." Zhen Hong and I lifted up the stone bar blocking the road one by one, and then threw it aside. Then he lifted up a large piece of leaning stone, and underneath was the entrance to the cave. This way you don't have to go through the trouble of drilling down.

The entrance to this cave is actually quite large, and the space inside is not small. Zhenhong jumped down first, and I grabbed the Konoha and followed second.

As soon as I went down, I heard a clanking sound. When I saw it, it turned out to be a group of people knocking on the real red with wooden sticks and stones. certainly. Zhenhong didn't fight back, and took the initiative to set everyone around him as allies, otherwise the automatic counterattack attribute on the armor alone would kill them all.

"Please don't attack, we are not here to hurt you. We are friends." Because of the translation stone, communication is not a problem.

I let go of Konoha, and this guy immediately ran over and pulled away the people who were fighting the real red, and then explained to them that we are good people. are friends. Then Zhenhong and I summoned the Phoenix Dragon, and then took out a large amount of food and gave it to them as a meeting gift.

With our own people speaking for us and gifts of hard currency such as food, these locals quickly believed that we were not enemies. Although he is a native, his IQ is not a problem at all. If we were enemies. Just kill them directly. It's only because of your brain that you gave them so much food. This food is more valuable than their entire village. If we really have any plot against them, giving them so much food in the first place is a total loss.

certainly. The above is understood from the perspective of the indigenous people. Although these guys have no problem with their intelligence, they have too little knowledge. So there must be some cognitive flaws.

After establishing a good relationship with the people here, I asked Ling to release Konoha's hypnosis. Before, he was only controlled and his mind was still there, so he knew everything we did. After being let go, he was just a little angry, but it quickly disappeared under our food offensive. Let the people from the guild who came here interact more with the people here, and I, as a leader, met with Hongyue and the others to meet the local leaders.

In fact, Konoha didn't make it clear before. There are two supreme leaders in this place. Just like the indigenous tribes in reality, the military leader here is the village chief, and the spiritual leader is the village shaman.

This village chief can also be said to be a chief, because this tribe is very small, just a village. So the village chief is the chief. The chief not only has to manage external battles, but is also responsible for hunting, construction and other daily life matters. Basically, except for childbirth and religion, there is almost nothing he does not care about. Of course, there are only about 300 people in this village, including the children in their arms, so there really is nothing wrong with them.

The shaman is the spiritual leader, in charge of sacrifices and other tasks, and seems to have some functions as a priest. That is, if anyone in the village has a mental disorder or something, they can come to him to talk to him. He would not tell others, including the chief, what those people told him. This is almost like the confessional in the Western church.

In addition, shamans are actually responsible for the medical work of the entire village. Of course, their medical methods are somewhere between barefoot doctors and dancing masters. They can use herbs to treat diseases, but they are not completely symptomatic. Some diseases cannot be cured with dancing. God's way of doing things.

After getting a general understanding of the customs and customs here, we showed them our living environment. Of course, we don’t use words, but words. We have a lot of memory crystals and can show them some of the promotional footage we shot.

What? Why are there promotional animations, you ask?

Essinger is a famous tourist city! Are you not allowed to advertise? Shooting a promotional video is nothing, right? As a guild composed of modern people, we still have some brains, right?

Even if Isinger doesn't beautify it, it will definitely be much better than this cave. After all, even compared to those ordinary cities, our Essinger is a super awesome city, so this shaman and their chief are both ours. The living environment was shocking.

Showing this to them is not to show off, but to let them know why we don't want to be here.

"Master Shaman, we really hope to return to our own world, but we are lost here. I would like to ask. Do you know of any method here that can help us bridge the barrier between the two worlds?"

The shaman and their chief murmured together for a while, and then the chief spoke. "We can't help you. We are just a weak tribe. We have never been exposed to the things you mentioned." At this point, the other party suddenly changed the subject. "But we know there is someone somewhere who can help you."

"Please be sure to tell us how to get there and we will send you a thank you."

The other party thanked us in advance very directly. Then he said: "There is a big tribe far away from here. They have an underground city. It is different from our village. It is a city. There is the greatest shaman in our area there. He is A real wizard can control the power of heaven and earth to communicate with the gods. He can also summon armies from other worlds to help them fight. So, I think as long as you can convince him to help you, you can definitely return to where you came from."

Obviously this is a task. The advantage of the game world is that it is not easy to get stuck. As long as you work hard to find it, the system will naturally arrange clues and methods in your way. As long as you complete it according to the system's requirements. Naturally, your wishes will be fulfilled. In reality it's obviously not that simple.

Now that the shaman has given us a solution, it means that the system has actually given us a task, but this task does not have a task scroll, and the task reward is to return to the original main map.

In fact, it is possible for us to die directly. This has been confirmed. We asked someone to go offline and ask. All the people who came and died in the battle were resurrected there, which meant that they could go back as long as they died. However, who would be willing to lose a level in vain if they can survive? Moreover. We still have three primary super aviation battleships, although they are a bit shabby. But it’s cheaper to repair it than to build a new one, right? Besides, our most important NPC crew members cannot be resurrected if they die, so if we can find a way to go back, we can bring them all back. This is an important resource. Finally, if there is really a way to go back, if it is a one-way ticket, then we can collect a large amount of magic crystals in that magic crystal mining area and take them away. And if it is a two-way channel, it would be even better. We can directly open the channel and occupy two of the super mining areas, and then we will make a fortune.

Therefore, the passage back is very important, whether it is one-way or round-trip, it is very important.

The village's productivity level is very low, so thanks to gold there is still a lot of food. Anyway, this thing is not valuable to us, so giving them a few tons is not a problem. In order to show friendship, I also dug out three junk weapons that I didn't use in my Phoenix Dragon Space.

These items are all the equipment that I usually find during battles, because Fenglong automatically collects them for me, so unless it is a particularly good Fenglong that will remind me, otherwise I don’t even know what is in it, anyway. I will clean it regularly.

There are a lot of rags here, so I didn't have much choice, so I just gave the chief a dwarf warhammer. When the guy got this thing, he immediately threw away the big wooden stick he used before. One was an iron hammer with attributes, and the other was a white wooden stick. Which one do you choose?

I searched for a long time at the shaman and actually found a few good things, but I couldn't give her too many gifts, so I only gave her one thing. This is something that looks like a feather duster, but in fact it should be regarded as a magical weapon, but it is only used by shamans. I rarely see anyone using it anyway. After all, if you fight someone with a feather duster, you will be laughed to death, right?

The last one was for Konoha. After asking about this guy's fighting style, I directly gave him something that was super suitable for him - a compound bow.

This is not his bow made of wood and hemp rope, this is a magic bow with three attributes. It is considered garbage to players, the kind of stuff that is thrown directly into the system store. But for this Konoha, this is an artifact, because this thing can release guiding arrows without magic. Although the guiding arrow skill can only be used once per hour, if it is used for hunting, it means that there will be gains every time. , this is a super benefit for their tribe.

When we finally left the village, we gave them a gift. Because we demolished the entrance to their village, we used the cement we brought and the big rocks on the ground to build them a bunker with a door and placed it above the entrance. When the gate is closed, this thing looks like a huge stone lump, but one of the stones is lifted outwards and there is the entrance. This thing is much better than the previous entrance. Firstly, it can be closed, so water will not come in when it rains. Secondly, it is more concealed and safer. After all, it can be closed. There is also a latch we made inside. As long as the latch is pulled, the door will open. If it doesn't open, even if a monster finds the entrance, it won't be able to get in if it can't open the door.

We took Konoha with us when we left, and this guy didn't follow us to thank us, but because of the shaman's order.

The big tribe that the shaman told us to find is not nearby, and there are no roads in this forest, and people can't tell you how to go, so the simplest and most direct way is to give you a guide. We agreed to send him back specifically after finishing the matter, so Konoha didn't object. Anyway, it is not a big deal for us to send someone back, but if he comes back by himself, he will risk his life. After all, the monsters here are not a threat to us, but it is different to him.

"Your flying mountain is so fast!" Konoha, who boarded the junior super aviation battleship, said enviously stroking the fence on the bow of the ship.

"Which direction is the village you mentioned?" I asked directly.

"Just keep flying over there."

I turned around and shouted to King Chuang, and the junior super aviation battleship immediately turned around and started to accelerate. I hope there really is a way back there! I don't want to be trapped and die here! (To be continued ~^~)
