Chapter 311 Knowing Them

As the saying goes, you can't get a tiger cub without diving into the tiger's den. If you want to establish harmonious communication, you must take this step.

Shen Jufeng didn't say anything, but the humanoid hesitated. After carefully looking at them, he said, "I won't attack you."

Knowing that she didn't have such thoughts at the moment, Lu Jiu dared to let her in.

When the humanoid creature bent over and came in, Lu Jiu realized that this humanoid creature was very tall, almost as tall as Shen Jufeng, and when he was close, he could clearly see the faintly visible muscle lines on the other person's body. Overall, he had a powerful beauty.

Lu Jiu: "We are not from the same planet. I don't know if you can eat food from our planet."

Moreover, their planet was previously gamified, so it’s hard to say whether these foods are still the same as before.

Shen Jufeng sat down next to Lu Jiu and handed the humanoid a pair of chopsticks. The other person stared at the chopsticks, then watched their posture of using them, and followed their example to learn how to hold the chopsticks.

Lu Jiu stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef fillet, and put it into his mouth to chew.

The humanoid creature stretched out her chopsticks and failed to pick it up the first time, but managed to pick it up the second time and slowly put it into her mouth. She frowned, as if she was not used to the taste.

But he continued to chew and swallowed it quickly. Lu Jiu stared at the other person blankly, really afraid that this kind of person would hold his stomach and cry out in pain in the next second.

If she saw anything that looked edible here, she would definitely not eat it.

I have to sigh, are all the creatures here such fierce warriors?

Lu Jiu asked cautiously, "Are you feeling unwell now?"

She thought that if this person really hurt himself, she would give him some potion to try.

The humanoid shook her head. "It's not that I feel uncomfortable, it's just that the smell is too..." She couldn't find an adjective.

Lu Jiu understood what she meant. "Here, this taste is called spicy. It's a mild pain sensation, but it's harmless in moderation."

Lu Jiu happened to be sitting next to the stone pot and filled a bowl of rice. "Try this. It has no taste. It is the staple food of our country."

The humanoid creature picked up another piece of rice with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. Sure enough, she no longer frowned. It seemed that this kind of rice without obvious taste was more acceptable to her.

·

Seeing that these creatures had eaten a few mouthfuls of food normally, Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng continued to eat theirs. There were still some dishes left in the pot, and Shen Jufeng put them on small plates and placed them in front of them.

Seeing that they ate one mouthful of food with rice, the humanoid creature learned their method and gradually accepted the taste after eating a few more bites. However, she preferred scrambled eggs with tomatoes and did not touch the beef fillet with green peppers.

After everyone finished eating, the other party still seemed a little reluctant to eat more.

Shen Jufeng packed up all the things, but left the small table unmoved. Lu Jiu was still sitting there, staring at the humanoid creature.

When the other party entered the tent, he completely folded his wings. She leaned slightly to the side and found that the wings were flat against his skin, like a natural tattoo. She could not imagine that when unfolded, they were a pair of huge and beautiful wings.

"Are you going to keep staring at us?" Lu Jiu asked the other party the question first.

The humanoid creature stared at her with its beautiful lavender eyes. "Yes, the chief said to keep an eye on you for now."

"Aren't you afraid that we are bad people who invade your homeland and eat our food?"

The humanoid frowned beautifully, "You are weak, and so is your food. I have nothing to worry about."

Lu Jiu almost choked on blood after hearing this. "Have you forgotten that we have weapons? No matter what time, we should never underestimate our opponents. Otherwise, we might suffer losses."

The other party replied with a rather proud tone, "We are gifted. Weapons are merely external forces, not our own strength. It is easy to remove your weapons. As for this food that does not contain any energy, I have nothing to fear."

Lu Jiu was silent for a moment. She decided not to mention that she had any skills for the time being.

"Okay, actually, I've already contacted my companions, and we'd really like to communicate with you normally."

The other party did not speak for a while. At this time, Shen Jufeng also came over and sat next to Lu Jiu. "We are from other planets. We are not creatures of any land in this place, but from other worlds. I don't know if you can understand."

Surprisingly, the other party nodded. "I know. I know a little about creatures like you from the tribe leader. Otherwise, I would have captured you two long ago."

This time it was Lu Jiu's turn to be curious, "How did your clan leader know about us?"

But the other party did not respond to this, and Shen Jufeng also felt something was wrong, "Has your world ever become strange at some point in its history?"

The humanoid creature finally raised its eyes to look at them, but didn't answer their question. "You can communicate, but we still need to verify. If there's no problem, we can discuss other matters."

She stood up. Fortunately, the tent was large enough, making the humanoid creatures look taller. "Thank you for the food. Although it can't provide me with any energy, I still want to thank you. Now that you are in this forest, you will not be attacked by our people. You will have to deal with wild animals on your own."

After she finished speaking, she lifted the curtain, and the moment she walked out, wings like tattoos appeared behind her, vibrated a few times, and then flew up and disappeared into the night sky.

Lu Jiu: "...I thought she would say help us deal with those wild creatures."

Shen Jufeng lowered the curtain and said, "Something's not right. They seem to know something about us humans, but we haven't seen them anywhere else except here."

Lu Jiu: "I thought I could find the reason why the Earth became like that here. Now it seems I actually know something."

But it is not clear who got the news from them.

·

Chen Cheng assembled the team and, based on everyone's memories of that day, prepared to choose a direction to set off based on the wind direction that day.

Regardless of whether the direction is right or not, they cannot stop to find the person.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers still remembered the wind direction in the chaotic situation at the time and finally determined that it was from the south.

Everyone packed up their things and headed south.

On the way, Shen Cheng received a message from his nephew, which mentioned what they had communicated with the humanoid creature last night.

When he learned that the other party knew something about them, Shen Cheng was also curious about what allowed them to obtain this information.

He sent all this information back to Yanjing to see how the authorities would analyze it.

When they knew that Chen Cheng was coming to find them, Lu Jiu and Chen Jufeng didn't think about leaving the forest. Instead, they moved around in a small area nearby, leaving a clear mark.

Lately, the humanoid creature has been showing up uninvited while they're eating.

Although they didn't talk much to each other, they seemed to be waiting for the troops led by Shen Cheng to arrive.

The humanoid creature was also quite aloof. She would eat quietly every time and would leave a piece of crystal when she came for the second time. It was the crystal that she had decomposed in her hand that day.

Lu Jiu held the crystal, which was like transparent crystal. This world was not as gamified as theirs, so he couldn't tell any difference.

"They mentioned energy before. Could it be that this crystal contains energy?"

Shen Jufeng took the crystal, but he didn't feel anything special in his hand, nor did he know how to use it. "This is a unique product here, so it must be something we don't know about. Let's keep it for now."
