Chapter 1145: The Value of Tianmu
Lin An slightly withdrew his sword tip and coldly asked:
"Speak up, why do you say I'm an Alien Species?"
"What have the Alien Species done to you? Where else are there Alien Species?"
Ignoring the hostile gaze of the middle-aged man, Lin An also could see that this dark-skinned youth seemed to like the girl called Jia Lu.
Gulping down saliva, the youth's face was ashen, and he tightly gripped the girl's hand.
He also seemed a bit strange, wondering why Lin An would ask these things.
"Alien Species, they're like our monsters!"
"It will kill us, eat us! It will destroy our gathering place! Enslave us!"
"Your forehead... has no eyes!"
"This strong, definitely an Alien Species!"
His way of speaking was somewhat awkward; after he finished, his eyes full of hatred, he stared fixedly at Lin An's forehead.
"Eyes?"
Lin An slightly startled, in an instant he looked at the foreheads of the several people; sure enough, he saw a line on each of their foreheads. He had thought it was some kind of decoration, but looking closely, in their panic, the line on their foreheads faintly showed signs of opening.
"Not human? Three eyes, another species?"
Besides his surprise, Lin An also didn't expect that the natives here were not humans as he knew.
But in that just-spoken conversation, he actually heard a lot of information.
Enslavement.. killing..
This sounds quite like the modus operandi of Alien Species. Could Alien Species have also entered this world at the same time? Descending onto humans into this world?
But the regional confrontation wasn't first opened, right?
"Continue answering my question!"
"Do you often encounter Alien Species? Where are Alien Species usually?"
Lin An coldly asked; regarding the answer to the question, he attached great importance to it. In his speculation, he couldn't help but think of that group of survivors.
However, unexpectedly, the youth's answer was completely different from what he had imagined.
"Alien Species don't live here!"
"Every so often, Alien Species suddenly appear!"
"There are many strange things, various kinds of people like us, but those without eyes are Alien Species!"
"They will suddenly disappear, then suddenly appear!"
After repeated questioning, Lin An came to a rather strange understanding of the other party's general meaning.
One of the kinds they spoke of is not the Alien Species he knows.
Rather, any external entrant, similar to Awakened Ones, is regarded by the natives here as Alien Species.
Alien Species, they are indeed the YiKongjian species.
As long as there are no eyes on the forehead, they are all Alien Species.
As for this, Lin An, though speechless, also realized that this saying was fitting for the natives.
Compared to the Alien Species of the capital, aren't they just the YiKongjian species?
In the youth's description, these Alien Species come in all forms: some look like humans made of glass, some like a mass of energy, and some have multiple heads or simply exist in the form like ET.
But without exception, they are all very powerful and will kill them.
From this information, Lin An actually realized something.
This battlefield used for regional conflict's Apocalypse is not a dungeon, but more like an open world. The natives here once had their own civilization, but with the outbreak of the insect tide, their civilization was destroyed in an instant. It is said that in a very early period, they also had something similar to a system.
But perhaps because they failed, or however. The system disappeared, and in its place came various Alien Species entering their world, who also kill them while killing the insect offspring.
If it weren't for their strong reproductive capacity, with birth to adulthood taking only three years, the entire race would have long disappeared. Like the youth he was questioning, who is actually only six years old. And that middle-aged man is actually only twelve years old...
But it is also precisely because other 'Resisters' keep entering that they can only barely survive.
Especially those Alien Species, they always occupy their gathering place and then start killing people.
As for the eyes on their foreheads, they are similar to the psychic energy reserves of Awakened Ones. By activating some ability, they can gain attack capabilities similar to lasers, even telekinesis.
A very peculiar species...
Lin An silently pondered, secretly letting out a sigh.
Through the information from these few people, he roughly pieced together the history of this world.
Without a doubt, this is another world that has encountered an Apocalypse disaster. However, unlike the human world, the 'humans' here have failed, their world or rather their planet has become a battlefield for system testing, existing like NPCs over the long ages.
Killed by the insect offspring, killed by Alien Species, until one day they were completely exterminated.
Their strong reproductive capacity and innate abilities have allowed them to barely survive to now. But this is also the source of the tragedy.
Those with the ability to live on, but without the ability to resist, are like domesticated animals, with no hope left.
His heart felt heavy.
Lin An looked at the few people before him, inevitably thinking of the future of human civilization.
If he himself... or rather if humanity fails, Earth would also become another Apocalypse battlefield, right?
"Take me to your gathering place. I won't kill you."
Suppressing the strangeness in his heart, Lin An's sole unanswered doubt was wondering why every entering race would slaughter them.
As for this gathering place, he was very curious.
Among these people, every Alien Species would gladly occupy their gathering place.
"Don't agree to him!"
"These monsters are all deceivers!"
The middle-aged man, oppressed by Lin An's aura, shouted loudly, his eyes full of hatred.
In the next second, under Lin An Impatience's renewed oppressive aura, the middle-aged man instantly fainted.
Take me there, I guarantee I won't kill you.
Don't think I can't find you; you saw my speed just now.
Take me there, you can still gamble that I won't kill; if I find you...
Doesn't mind playing the villain.
Lin An deliberately gave a cold snort, then directly threatened the youth. As expected, only the six‑year‑old dark‑skinned youth trembled all over and, resigned, began to lead the way.
This... is the gathering place?
Lin An looked somewhat surprised at the gathering place that resembled a primitive tribe's camp; almost as soon as he approached, the people inside the gathering place all screamed in terror.
Looking at a mud‑caked high tower inside the gathering place, he unexpectedly detected a spiritual energy fluctuation.
Beep, entered the Heaven Eye Tribe (human, failed) gathering place.
You can occupy this place, earning 100 points every hour! Every other hour, the points gained in the next hour double!
Battle tip: You can throw Heaven Eye people into a simple spiritual energy tower to gain spiritual energy, which can be used to replenish consumption.
