Chapter 354: Native: Posthumous People
His mental energy was the strongest he had ever seen, compared to people like Red Hair, Talking Lady, and even himself.
He had only seen one thing that could use mental energy to communicate: Yangos.
He even suspected Yangos had eaten some medicine to evolve several times and become a human!
He forced himself to calm down. Those things were still things of legend. He slowly calmed himself down and stopped worrying.
“Please enter; Posthumous People have not had a guest in a long time.”
Ye Zhongming didn’t move. He looked at the old man for a while before letting the woman called Miya go.
He had to take the risk.
As these people walked to the back of the hall, Ye Zhongming noticed that the place got larger and larger. In the end, the space was as big as several football fields. A dozen tents were spread around, and in the middle was a bonfire.
The bonfire had many things barbecuing on it. Three had pots, and it was cooking something.
The bonfire in the middle was the largest, and a goat-shaped thing was on it. A woman wearing little was brushing some condiments, and a fragrance was spreading around the camp.
Maybe because a foreigner had appeared, many people came out. There were close to 200, and they all looked at him curiously. A few kids ran nearby, curious about what he was wearing. One girl even touched him, which made him slightly nervous.
“Sit.” The old man looked at him. The voice appearing in his consciousness made him slightly uncomfortable.
The old man waved and told the others to do their things, which caused the crowd to scatter. Only a few dozen remained. Apart from Miya, most were middle-aged men. There were two younger but strong guys, too.
“Can you tell me your name? It has been a long time since someone has come. Also, where did you come from?”
The old man’s mental communication speed was relatively slow.
“Ye.” Ye Zhongming thought about it and told him his surname. But he couldn’t use mental energy and could only say it out.
The old man nodded; he probably did understand.
“Where is this place? Who are you?” Ye Zhongming looked at him and continued to ask.
“This place is Blue; it is what we rely on. We are Posthumous People, living beings abandoned by the gods who can only live in the mountains.”
Blue Secret Realm?”
Ye Zhongming muttered and confirmed that he had never heard of it.
He had many questions, like why the sky didn’t pierce his eyes, why the monsters had demon crystals to show their level, and the fact that they weren’t evolved but had strength. Why were they hiding in the mountains? Were there other people like him? Did they hear of a way to get out?
He had too many questions but didn’t know where to start. He could only keep silent and think about what to do next.
“Taste our things; it might be… Rough for you.” The old man looked at Ye Zhongming, wearing things much more exquisite than their beast leather, “You can call me Ah Tao, like what my kids call me.”
The woman barbecuing took a blade and sliced a piece of meat, which she placed on a leaf and passed to him.
Ye Zhongming took it, but he didn’t eat it right away.
Right when he was considering how to reject, there was chaos and cries from outside. Miya was stunned, and then she shouted in anxiousness. The people in the camp took their weapons and charged.
Ye Zhongming followed, and when he arrived back at the stone hall, there was a gory stench. He saw an injured member, one of the two strong guards.
Many Posthumous People had entered the black tunnel and were fighting with an unknown monster.
You could see in the dark?
Ye Zhongming observed for a few seconds and saw that the tunnel wasn’t wide, and their torches could only light up a close area.
He didn’t understand why they didn’t lead them into the stone hall if they couldn’t fight them in the dark environment.
Thinking that he had caused it by not closing that metal door, he decided to help.
He tossed a few fluorescent sticks. He brought many such things in case there was darkness in the secret realm. He didn’t expect to use them here.
Like the expression Miya had, many Posthumous People exclaimed. The sudden light in the tunnel pumped up the soldiers, and their attacks became much sharper.
Ye ZHongming was also able to see what the monster was.
It was a four-armed ape-like monster with green fur!
He could see 20 higher-level monsters than those kid monsters that attacked him. Most were white level-two evolved, and a few were level-three black evolved.
If he estimated their strength based on those monsters previously, those few black crystal fellows should be as strong as level-four mutated lifeforms on Earth!
The two muscular guys beside Ah Tao struck. They hollered in rage, and a red layer appeared on their bodies. They got much stronger, which shocked Ye Zhongming.
Such an aura was similar to four-star evolved.
They held bone weapons, and their red light surged into the weapon. They each took one black crystal monster. This reduced the pressure on the others. But the previous battle had caused several strong guys to fall injured. They were attacked in an attempt to force other humans to help them.
In truth, Ye Zhongming was terrified. No one, including himself, would have survived if these monsters were amongst the horde that attacked Cloud Peak.
Seeing that things weren’t going smoothly, Ah Tao finally attacked.
He held his hands with the beast teeth bracelets and closed his eyes. Light shone from those teeth. One after another, when they all lit up, they turned into two thick light pillars. The bracelet spun and shot out quickly.
A black crystal ape monster couldn’t react and was hit by a white pillar. Its stomach was pierced through. It cried out as if its body was lit up from within and turned into ash.
Ye Zhongming blinked. What was that?
