Wu Hen, unable to decline such earnest hospitality, naturally nodded in agreent.
As for Wang Rui, he was even more eager to apply for the use of the Twelve Zodiac Beasts from the organization.
It was clear that the creature was Wang Rui’s faith.
"When it cos to Death On Yuan You, our exploration is very limited, so we can’t provide you with much information," Chief Li said.
"Understood."
"Of course, if you encounter Poison Sub-humans, you need to judge the situation. If you need reinforcents, even if their talented Poison Sub-human is present, we will not hesitate anymore!" Chief Li also made his stance clear.
Endure once, endure twice, and there’s no need to endure anymore.
After all, the big plan is to absorb, but the morale of the human elites cannot be suppressed too harshly!
Wu Hen nodded.
A little Poison Sub-human, even if it is a genius, Wu Hen didn’t take it too seriously. If it cos to it, he would just lure it to a desolate, uninhabited place and release the Death Sword, letting it know the horror of a Hua Chen Realm powerhouse!
...
"It is said that there is a nation outside Red Port that is even more terrifying than the locust evil realm, known as Insect Island," Wang Rui said.
"Alien Insects?" Wu Hen asked.
"They are called Space Red Zhe here, but they cannot be described with the insects from our side. They are covered with various types of armor, Mineral Muscle, and Crystal Bone; they have excellent attributes and are the perfect choice for making fighting clothes and developing war armor. Many tribes staying in Red Port are very interested in them. However, these space insects are extrely dangerous, and even those with Heavenly Brilliance Power would die without a trace if caught by them," Wang Rui cautioned Wu Hen.
"How do they compare with the Locust Desert we encountered before?" Wu Hen inquired.
"It’s not the sa concept. They are a thousand tis more formidable!" It seed that Wang Rui was left with a shadow by these Space Red Zhe.
Wu Hen didn’t want to waste ti; after all, Poison Sub-humans were also coveting that piece of Death On Yuan You, and he couldn’t let those people get to it first.
They boarded a Floating Boat and, led by a mber of the Elite Team, Wu Hen and Wang Rui headed directly to the deeper parts of the Dark Domain.
While sailing outside Red Port, one could see many forces; so were flying directly through the sky, so were treading on ancient boats, and so were on very luxurious steel warships...
The journey was sowhat long, but fortunately, they didn’t encounter any trouble along the way.
Approaching Insect Island, Wu Hen looked from afar and felt as if he had suddenly co upon a colossal teorite nest while spacewalking!
This teorite nest rotated slowly, slowly over the Red Plane.
The surface of the teorite was barren, pockmarked, and devoid of even a speck of vegetation, while the pitted areas were riddled with countless holes of varying sizes, like lotus roots.
These surface holes were obviously not naturally ford but appeared to be dug by an Insect Race group. They looked chaotic but contained the art of their nest building.
Without getting close, Wu Hen could not feel the horror of this space nest, but as he started hearing sharp noises coming from there, his body began to feel uneasy. Those sounds were not made by a few fierce Desert Dust Predators, but by a huge, uncountable group of unknown creatures, similar to the insects of humanity, yet it was clear that they were far from small and fragile!
"I’m already getting goosebumps. If it weren’t for following you, Brother Hen, I wouldn’t co to this place if you killed ," Wang Rui said.
"I’ll just take you two as far as here," the SuperAbnormal who was guiding them said.
Wu Hen and Wang Rui expressed their thanks and then stepped onto Insect Island.
From a distance, it looked like a massive, rolling teorite island, but once standing on it, it felt no different from walking on a rugged mountainous terrain.
The terrain was similar to the Black Soil Plateau, with substances resembling glaciers covering the land, forming a series of mountainous regions. Most of those were crystalline substances, precious minerals to human civilization.
Pity that no human power dared to mine here.
Wu Hen also noticed that they weren’t the only ones to land on Insect Island. Almost imdiately after them, an advanced steel troop arrived. They leaped from their deck onto the ground, each wielding a gleaming elental weapon and accompanied by a chanical Steel Dog.
"Did your own clansn banish you two? No matter how grave the transgressions, it’s too cruel to send you to Insect Island," a man in white war armor said as he approached. Although he held heavy weaponry, his tone was quite friendly, simply teasing Wu Hen and Wang Rui.
"We’re here to try our luck. What about you guys, here to mine again?" Although Wang Rui didn’t recognize the man before him, he knew which faction they belonged to.
"Haha, yes, we always curse the things on Insect Island as filthy insects, but what are we if not diligent worker bees, never stopping," the man in white war armor complained.
"Are you from the Hao Clan’s Ark?" Wang Rui asked.
"That’s right. If you two aren’t afraid of being wiped out by us, you might as well co along. Consider it making a good connection; we will escort you to the Triangular Crystal Mountain over there," the man in white war armor offered.
"Thank you, thank you very much," Wang Rui said.
Upon learning the identity of the other party, Wang Rui noticeably relaxed his vigilance.
Keeping up with this well-equipped mining troop, Wang Rui also explained to Wu Hen, "The people of Hao Clan’s Ark are quite friendly toward us. Their primary focus is on technological developnt, but their technological foundation is quite different from ours. Otherwise, we could learn so more advanced technology from them, which would significantly benefit the developnt of all humans."
Wu Hen nodded. In fact, during the conversation, he had already released his Listening Sense, perceiving the conversations among this mining troop’s personnel.
Indeed, as Wang Rui said, these people didn’t harbor much malice, at least not the kind that thrived on plundering and bullying.
"My na is Chang Huan, a Wise Person of the Hao Clan, and I am the commander of the field logistics and security troops. How should I address the two of you?" asked the man in the white war armor.
"Wu Hen, the only Human King from Happy Planet."
"Wang Rui, um... Brother, you can’t just throw around that title, there’s a consensus on nonclature in the Human Clan," Wang Rui said.
"Haha, those are just empty titles, really. Call yourself whatever you like," said the man who claid to be Chang Huan, with a straightforward air.
Though Chang Huan was communicating with these two strangers, the entire Hao Clan troop continued to march forward in a very strict combat formation. Honestly, Wu Hen hadn’t expected to catch such a smooth ride.
The surrounding hills were pockmarked with holes of various sizes—obviously, they were the dens of Red Zhes. Wu Hen could also hear the sounds of gnashing fangs and clashing claws but, due to the overwhelming strength of this troop, they didn’t dare rush out of their nests.
"Brother, there is a nonclature within the Human Clan, bestowed by so authorities of the Divine Realm; Talented Person, Wise Person, Outstanding Human, Human Hero, Human King... Although it doesn’t represent strength, it signifies their status within the Human Clan. Those conferred with these titles can freely settle in other realms of the Human Clan," Wang Rui inford Wu Hen.
"Why are there such titles? Aren’t the different veins of the Human Clan independent and mostly in a state of isolation and rare communication?" Wu Hen asked curiously.
"There are ways of interaction and crossing between Divine Realms. In fact, this nonclature is also a selection by the major Divine Realms for our Human Clan. They also select geniuses who erge from the low-class, middle-class, and upper-class Human Clans to beco mbers of their Divine Realm," Chang Huan, who obviously knew more than Wang Rui, explained with a smile.
"And how were you honored with the title of Wise Person?" Wu Hen inquired.
"There are many creatures in Otherworldly Dust that specialize in ambushing and preying on humans; they’re usually on the Divine Realm’s most-wanted list. If you kill such a creature, you can claim a reward from the Human Clan’s Divine when you pass by, and at the sa ti, accumulate fa to obtain this title," Chang Huan said.
While saying this, Chang Huan casually took out a crescent-shaped token and threw it to Wu Hen carelessly.
Wu Hen caught the crescent-shaped token and suddenly realized that he had seen this object before. Du Mao also had one, but his was almost a full moon shape, and the material was obviously much superior to this crescent-shaped token.
"Does being a Human Hero an you’re an incredibly powerful presence in the Human Clan?" Wu Hen thought for a mont, recalling Du Mao’s self-proclaid title of True Martial Hero.
"Hahaha, if you’re a Human Hero, you could probably call the head of Red Port brother," laughed Chang Huan.
"Oh... Oh," Wu Hen stroked his chin.
That dimwit Du Mao, was he really that incredible?
No wonder the fellow made such grand claims at Red Snow Village, boldly demanding that the Ancient Clan worship him.
Moreover, when interacting with Du Mao, Wu Hen had always engaged purely in boastful talk. After all, one’s identity when away from ho was self-assigned, and Wu Hen had never imagined that what Du Mao claid was actually recognized within the Human Clan...
Suddenly, Chang Huan stopped in his tracks. He raised a hand, signaling the entire Hao Clan troop to stand by on alert.
Apparently, Chang Huan was an Auditory Awakening, as he slowly turned his head, listening for the direction of so unusual noises.
In fact, Wu Hen had already heard the nearby ambush.
Seeing that Chang Huan was a friendly person, Wu Hen pointed his finger toward the high earth mountain on the front left and spoke up, "There are about a hundred Red Zhes up there. If you have sothing like a mortar, just take my word for it and fire one round that way."
Chang Huan had also faintly noticed so activity on that earth mountain, but he hadn’t expected this human beside him to know even the number of the enemies??
"We have the teor Fire Cannon, and its power is absolutely ferocious," Chang Huan said inquiringly.
"Commander Chang, you’re not seriously considering blasting that area, are you? The reconnaissance team hasn’t sent back any precise images," said a female officer at that mont.
"Fire a round and see," Chang Huan instructed.
"That’s too rash; firing that teor Fire Cannon will cost us..."
"Sergeant Xue, do as I say!" Chang Huan’s tone beca firm, leaving no room for his subordinates to question his command.
Sergeant Xue wasn’t doubting her superior; she was questioning Wu Hen.
She had also overheard the previous conversation.
This person was clearly a Desert Dust novice, lacking basic knowledge of the Human Clan and most likely from the Low-class Human Clan. Although the Hao Clan didn’t go as far as to discriminate against them, there was certainly no need to trust their judgnt on combat strategy, right?
