Chapter 878: Chapter 877 Humans on the Alien Planet
“So many, such huge fungal sacs, there must be thousands, nearly ten thousand, hanging between the trees.”
When Han Dong tried to touch the outermost giant fungal sac, he found that the fungal sacs within a hundred meters range all reacted… as the fungal sacs flowed with Black Water, the Little Demon Eye could barely make out a human form silhouette.
He initially suspected that the creature that had just ambushed the team had hatched from the fungal sacs.
The next choices were threefold:
1. Total elimination: The team would exert their full strength to clear all the living eggs and fungal sacs in the area.
2. Covert advance: Proceed to the vaguely expanded house Han Dong spotted without touching the fungal sacs.
3. Exit the forest and replan the exploration route.
If they chose the first option, by combining their strength with the formidable Lord Maritzis… Han Dong summoned the Prisoner Inmates to assist, and perhaps they could clean out all living things in this piece of forest.
Massive consumption of physical energy was an issue.
The greatest problem was, if this forest were viewed as an “experimental cultivation area” of some alien civilization,
by causing massive disruption upon arriving on this planet, they might provoke certain powers, or even national powers.
If they chose the second option.
Heading to the house in the middle of the forest might trap them in the “cultivation area.”
If they chose the third option, they would lose an important clue.
A crucial clue or some plot point was extremely important for the team in the early stages of True Fate… Even if they could avoid the dangers here, they would still face hidden dangers on the planet later, so it was better to clarify the relevant information in advance.
…
Considering everything.
Han Dong leaned toward covertly advancing, heading to the open area in the woods that seemed to have buildings to check things out.
After all, the team had arrived here as [Toad], already targeted by other Fate teams… If they made full enemies with local forces right at the start, it would make future progress extremely difficult.
“Try not to disturb these fungal sacs, and let’s check out the situation in the open area of the woods.”
When Han Dong made the decision.
Aside from his teammates, Maritzis also nodded.
Han Dong initially thought someone as aggressive as her would choose the first option, but then he asked, “Mary, did you sense any danger?”
Maritzis pointed at the Toad Bracelet on her wrist, “There seems to be something hidden in this forest that’s making my [Toad] uneasy… I suspect that the thing that initially ambushed us was bred from these kinds of fungal sacs.
Thousands of such creatures combined would consume a great deal of our physical energy.
If we encounter another team’s ambush, there would be danger again.
Compared to the inferior humans, I have entered the Fate Space fewer times, but I am well aware of one thing… ‘Interactivity’ is very important. Those Demons that engage in indiscriminate slaughter right from the start often can’t make it back alive.
Let’s go with your idea… if we fall into a trap, we can fight our way out then.”
“Hmm… according to my experience and intuition, we should be able to find some clues about this planet in the buildings in the open area of the woods.”
The team reached a consensus.
The team then concealed their presence and ventured deeper.
Staring at the giant fungal sacs hanging around his head, he always felt that some dangerous creature was about to burst out, and the floating Black Water spores in the air slowly became visible to the naked eye, as if a large amount of carbon powder was floating.
Gradually.
A building appeared before them in the open area, known as the Round Valley Pack.
Built from unknown stone materials,
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
About the height of a ten-story building,
Its surface had uniform linear patterns, neatly embedded with black Crystal Stones, which generated a strong bioenergy magnetic field that would erase any sensing techniques as soon as they approached the Round Valley Pack,
“Is there… someone?”
At the entrance of the Round Valley Pack, there seemed to be a ‘human’ standing.
1. A black leather robe with golden trims, bearing a strong religious style.
2. The collar extended upwards, covering half of the head (concealing the mouth and nose)… only revealing the upper half of the head and black eyes.
3. Some peculiar black crystal stones were also embedded in his bald head through metal strips.
4. Exposed white palms also had black crystal stones embedded in them, with hands crossed in an [X shape] across the chest, seemingly waiting for the arrival of Han Dong and his group.
“Is this the ‘White Giant’ from ‘Prometheus,’ designed as the creator of mankind?
No, this person looks more like a human in terms of stature and attire… and seems to be awaiting our arrival.
The black robe worn by him and the black crystal stones embedded in his skin seem to be products of Black Water, which easily obstruct our perceptual means.
This is also why we couldn’t initially locate the attacker.
Let’s go over there… see if we can communicate normally.”
Communication and interaction are the most frequent and practical means used by Han Dong in Fate Space.
Establishing good relationships with NPCs will be key to advancing the plot and reducing difficulty.
However, the current feeling is unlike any before.
Looking at this ‘human’ with strong religious connotations, Han Dong’s intuition told him that the other party might be harder to communicate with than the evil spirits in Other Derry Town.
But he had to try.
Han Dong deliberately swapped places with the leader, Lord Maritzis, making her walk last… In case danger was inevitable, they would need to use the power of the Ancestor Body to tear open a gap.
[Forest Clearing]
Apart from the central building called the “Round Valley Pack,” there was also a neatly arranged circle of “bottled objects.”
They contained Black Water inside.
Through Little Demon Eye’s perspective, it was also discovered that these bottled objects had plant-like roots extending into the ground at their lower end.
If one considered the Round Valley Pack building as a farmhouse and the bottled objects as rice grains… this place was akin to a farm on Earth, and a farmer was responsible for the ‘Black Water Breeding’ here.
“Wobbly Bop.”
When Han Dong and his group approached.
This man made a gesture of invitation, asking everyone to follow him into the interior of the Round Valley Pack… while also uttering a language that everyone couldn’t understand.
However, Han Dong could understand it.
It wasn’t Demon language, nor was it some alien language.
Instead, it was an actual Earth language, Ancient Egyptian from over two thousand years ago.
Han Dong could understand it because of the Undying Priest Arm fitted on his left arm, which granted him knowledge of Ancient Egypt, including this language.
The man’s words meant- “Guests from afar, please follow me to face the Saint!”
For a moment, Han Dong’s thoughts were shocked.
“This Round Valley Pack building looks very similar to the pyramids… could this person in front of me really be a human descended from ancient Egypt.”
Han Dong absolutely did not believe that ancient Egyptians were capable of interstellar flight… no matter how advanced technology became, it just wasn’t feasible.
Gathering his thoughts.
Han Dong extracted all the memories embedded into his brain since arriving in the world of ‘Prometheus.’
“According to the movie’s background setting, humanity spent a vast fortune to travel to this planet in search of the origin of life, prompted by an archaeological finding of a star chart in England.
One piece of the star chart showed that ‘alien life was passing knowledge to mankind.’
Apparently, these alien beings, after successfully creating humans with Black Water, would come to Earth from time to time to monitor and transmit some knowledge to mankind, providing some assistance.
Could it be that the prosperous period of ancient Egypt was valued by these alien beings.
Therefore, they selected a portion of the ancient Egyptians, who were particularly imaginative and creative, to board their spaceship and come to this planet for ‘civilizational spread’? To assist with research into Black Water?”
With doubts in mind, the squad followed this ‘human’ into the depths of the building.
