Chapter 144: Strange Humans

Fang Yuan decided to continue his exploration. On one hand, the lotus giant lizard had been strengthened just now and had reached the diamond intermediate-grade. It should have the ability to protect Fang Yuan.

On the other hand, Fang Yuan was not willing to leave. He had come to the devil world forest to obtain power. If he just left after strengthening the lotus giant lizard, that was not the result that Fang Yuan wanted to see.

He was worried that the Matthew effect would become more serious after this. The lotus giant lizard’s strength would be the greatest in the entire team. That was not the result that Fang Yuan wanted to see.

Since he had summoned Nero, Xiao Jin was not needed for the time being. Fang Yuan was riding on Nero and and slowly moving forward.

Now, only Nero and Ah Li were left. Ah Li led the way while Nero carried Fang Yuan forward and destroyed the weak pet beasts that came close.

This scene reminded Fang Yuan of the scene he saw when he awakened the mark. It was the battle between Ah Li and Nero.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan remembered that he had not told Nero about this.

“Nero, do you know what the King of Pet Beasts is?”

“Every kind of pet beast has its own king. The king is supreme, and the other pet beasts must listen to the king,” Nero answered. “I have never heard of the King of Pet Beasts, but we usually call the strongest of our kind as ‘king’. They have absolute control over their own kind, and all the pet beasts want to be king.”

“That’s good.” Fang Yuan thought to himself that the illusion should not be real. After all, the man who commanded the Silverwood monkey to fight with him the last time could not have such powerful strength. It was completely a shadow in his heart, and it had molded him into an indestructible man.

Pet beasts and humans seemed to see a completely different world. Pet beast like Nero, who could speak human language, was definitely different.

Even if they established a spiritual connection with the pet beasts, it did not mean that they could completely understand the thoughts of the pet beasts. They would only express their intention to attack and want something, not purely communicate.

This was also the reason why he joined the Huang group. It was said that they could learn how to communicate with the pets in the Huang group, just like how Xinyu’s trainer skill awakened the ancestral memories of the pets.

If that was his skill, it would be too powerful. He believed that if Nero awakened the ancestral skill, he would not meet an opponent below the star brilliance grade.

Along the way, other than some killer bees that did not know what was good for Nero (it seemed to be treating it as a flower), he did not see any other pets. He did not know if it was because they were afraid or because there were really no other pets nearby.

“Ah Li, are there no other pet beasts nearby? Higher level ones are fine, too.”

Ah Li sniffed on the ground and then shook his head, indicating that he didn’t smell any creatures.

Strange.

Could it be that there was a particularly powerful pet beast nearby that had scared away all the other pet beasts?

…

After continuing forward for a while, Ah Li suddenly became alert.

The enemy was coming!

The lotus giant lizard was too big to be used for scouting. Fang Yuan asked it to stay where it was. As long as it was within a one-kilometer radius, its position could be sensed. Therefore, he left it here. Fang Yuan and Ah Li lay in the grass to scout for the enemy.

What surprised Fang Yuan was that what he saw was not a pet beast, but something similar to a human tent.

“This is…”

Just as Fang Yuan was puzzled, a purple-skinned human or humanoid creature appeared. She had the ears of an elder elf, and her eyes were bigger than ordinary people. She had long hair, and if not for her purple skin, she would have been a beauty. She should be a more iconic beauty.

And there was actually more than one. She actually opened her mouth to speak.

“Uncle Tara, we’ve captured all the pet beasts in the vicinity. When are we going home?”

An uncle with a big beard, who looked very kind, said, “Don’t worry, Vera. After the search team has all returned and confirmed that there are no pet beasts in the vicinity, we can go home.”

“Okay.” Vera smiled and said, “Then uncle, I’ll walk around for a while. I’ll be back in a while.”

The uncle called Tara nodded and said, “Pay attention to the time. You must return to the camp before the sun sets.”

Driven by curiosity, Fang Yuan tiptoed forward with Vera. They seemed to be the initiators of the strange phenomenon in this area, which needed to be investigated.

The girl hummed a strange song and skipped around without any vigilance. Moreover, Fang Yuan and Ah Li hid well and didn’t let her notice.

The girl came to a small river.

Then, she waved her hand and summoned a small purple ball with wings. There was only one eye in front of it, and it held a small stone spear in its hand.

“Little magic ball, I want to take a bath. Help me keep watch.”

After saying that, she kissed the little magic ball on its face. Other than its face, the other parts of the little guy were purple. However, its fair face instantly turned red. Then, it made a salutation gesture and flew into the sky to investigate.

The girl, on the other hand, took off her clothes one by one and walked into the river.

Although it was a arcane realm, there were days and nights and seasons in this arcane realm. It was late autumn now, and even Fang Yuan, who was only wearing a long sleeve, felt a little cold. The girl did not feel cold at all and jumped into the river to take a bath.

Fang Yuan could not help but look elsewhere. He thought, “I’ll think of a way to capture her and interrogate her when she comes out.”

He leaned against the tree and no longer looked at the riverside.

“Enemy, enemy!”

The little magic ball just now shouted loudly.

“Eh? Have we been discovered?” Fang Yuan hid in the grass vigilantly.

At this time, he looked at the riverside again and found another group of people with purple skin looking at Vera in the river with ill intentions.

“Is this Princess Vera of the Green Tribe?”

“Her skin is so good. It must be delicious when cooked.”

They were in front of Fang Yuan at this moment, so Fang Yuan could only see their backs.

“You are from the Blue tribe. Why are you in our territory?” Vera quickly put on a transparent clothing, which covered all the parts that should be covered, however, she didn’t know that this kind of clothing could arouse people’s primitive temptation.

“Boss, don’t talk nonsense with her. Let’s capture her first. Whether it’s eating her or using her to threaten the Indigo Tribe, she’s very useful.”

“That makes sense. Hehehe.”

Fang Yuan counted carefully. There were five people in this team. They were all wearing animal skin long skirts that symbolized the primitive tribe. The one who was called the team leader should be the only man wearing a feathered crown.

“There are not only humans in the arcane realm, but also different tribes?”

This had indeed refreshed Fang Yuan’s understanding.
