A light mist hung over the valley, like a mysterious veil, concealing its secrets. A low roar drifted faintly from the mist, as if emanating from the depths of the valley, carrying a primal and mysterious power. They discovered a large cave within the valley, surrounded by simple structures constructed from branches and vines, resembling the carefully crafted habitats of some creature. Though crude, the structures exuded a sense of ancient pragmatism. Lin Yu and the others exchanged glances, a flicker of surprise and nervousness in their eyes, realizing they might have discovered the wild man's lair. This could be a crucial moment in uncovering the mystery of the wild man, but it also meant facing unknown dangers.
At this moment, several tall "savages" walked out of the cave. They were covered with long brown hair, which shone with a mysterious luster in the moonlight. They were about two meters tall and stood like giants. Their limbs were thick and powerful, as if they contained infinite power. Every step they took made the ground shake slightly. The savages seemed to have sensed the presence of Lin Yu and others, and they roared. The roars echoed in the valley like thunder, full of warnings and deterrence. At the same time, they took a defensive posture, with all the hair on their bodies standing up, as alert as hedgehogs. Xiao Zhao said nervously, his voice unconsciously rising a few degrees: "Captain, what should we do?" After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu said with a firm and steady look in his eyes: "Don't act rashly. Let's try to communicate with them. Maybe they don't have any ill intentions. Impulsiveness will only lead to conflict. Our goal is to understand the truth, not to create contradictions."
Lin Yu took a few slow, measured steps forward, his strides steady, as if exploring unknown territory. He spoke in a gentle, soft voice, trying to convey a friendly message: "We mean no harm, we simply want to get to know you. We come from the outside world and are curious about you." The savages looked at Lin Yu with a hint of wariness in their eyes, like wild animals facing a strange intruder. Their gazes gleamed with ferocity, but they didn't immediately attack, as if weighing the threat posed by their uninvited visitors. Professor Li also stepped forward, attempting a few simple gestures to express his friendship. He extended his hands, palms facing outward, and slowly moved them, a friendly smile on his face, hoping to convey his goodwill. Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, a somewhat elderly savage emerged from the cave. His fur was slightly gray, a sign of age. His eyes held a hint of wisdom, and compared to the other savages, he possessed a calmer and more profound gaze.
The old savage looked at Lin Yu and the others and uttered a series of strange sounds. The sounds were rhythmic and cadenced, sounding like some unique language, full of mysterious rhythms. Professor Li listened carefully, and suddenly an idea struck him. He remembered seeing a similar pronunciation in an ancient anthropology book. He had stumbled upon that book while researching paranormal phenomena, and it recorded many little-known human races and mysterious languages. He tried to respond to the old savage using that ancient pronunciation, feeling both excited and nervous, unsure if his judgment was correct. When the old savage heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he had heard a voice he hadn't heard in a long time. His voice then softened, and his previously vigilant posture relaxed slightly.
Through difficult communication, they learned that these wild men were an ancient, intelligent race living in the Shennongjia mountains, isolated from the outside world. They guarded the forests and followed ancient laws of survival. In recent years, due to the continuous expansion of human activities, extensive development and exploration have gradually affected their living environment. This is why they occasionally appear in human sight, trying to warn humans not to over-intrude on their territory. Lin Yu promised the old wild man that he would inform the outside world about their situation and do his best to protect their habitat, allowing them to continue living peacefully in this ancient forest. Upon hearing this, the old wild man's eyes showed a hint of gratitude, and he uttered a few low sounds, as if expressing his trust in Lin Yu and others.
After leaving Shennongjia, Lin Yu reported his discovery in detail to Bureau 749. The bureau expressed shock and concern at their findings and decided to work with relevant departments to develop a protection plan for the Shennongjia Wild Man, ensuring this mysterious species can continue to live peacefully in their homeland. Lin Yu and his team had once again completed a challenging mission, making a significant contribution to the study of the paranormal. They knew that Bureau 749's mission, like this mysterious forest, was filled with unknowns and explorations. They would continue to forge ahead, uncovering more secrets hidden beneath the surface of the world.
