Lin Tao was shocked. He opened his eyes and suddenly stepped back a few steps. But just as he stepped back, there was a click and the old man's hand fell down and hit the armrest of the seat, and there was no movement anymore.

Lin Tao looked over and saw that the old man had his eyes closed, as if he was in a deep sleep, which was very strange.

"Elder Hongshi!"

"Elder Hongshi, what's wrong with you?"

At the side, the long-haired woman and the man with his face covered both screamed.

Hmm? Lin Tao was startled. He could actually recognize what the two people were saying, and it was the Etna language that he had come into contact with before.

What's going on?

Swish! Lin Tao's expression changed slightly.

"Elder Hongshi has gone." One of the three old men, the old man on the left, glanced at Elder Hongshi and said softly.

There was no anger in his tone, nor any emotion, it was very calm, as if he had a premonition of this day.

Lin Tao frowned. The old man who spoke, in the memories he had come into contact with, was called Fentu, a powerful man who could use his brain power to generate fire. The other old man who had not spoken until now was called Mengqin, and his brain power could make his body gigantic.

These two types of thoughts can also produce reproductive armor abilities, allowing two people to appear with a strange armor formed by thought abilities, one like being wrapped in flames, and the other like a body of steel.

The sudden thought in his mind shocked Lin Tao.

What surprised him was not those so-called telepathic abilities and the strange armor produced by telepathic abilities, but that he could clearly hear the content of these people's conversations, as if Lin Tao at this moment was the same type of person as them.

"What? Elder Hongshi is gone?" The long-haired woman looked surprised.

The man with the masked face was shocked and horrified, because Lin Tao was brought back by them. In this case, wouldn't the two of them be the indirect murderers of Elder Hongshi's death?

Thinking of this, the man with the covered face could no longer hold back and trembled all over: "Elder Fentu, we...we..."

"Alright." Suddenly, another elder raised his withered right hand and waved it gently a few times: "Cangqiong, Yingsi, this matter has nothing to do with you. We are already old and frail, and we can go at any time, um..."

After a pause, he chuckled again: "Cangqiong, Yingsi, the two of you go out and wait first, we still have something to say to him."

"Elder Mengqin, he..."

The long-haired woman's face changed drastically, because Lin Tao was the 'murderer' who caused the death of Elder Hongshi. If he stayed here any longer, she couldn't be sure whether the remaining two elders would suffer the same fate.

"Go, it's okay." Elder Fentu also waved his hand.

The long-haired woman and the covered-face man were helpless. They glanced at Lin Tao in confusion and finally left the bridge.

After the two left, Fentu turned around and looked at Lin Tao: "Since you have devoured Hongshi's thoughts, you can understand what we are saying now, right?"

Lin Tao's eyes tightened. Although he didn't understand what the brain-devouring thoughts were, he still nodded to show that he could understand what the other party said.

"How much have you learned from Hongshi's thoughts?" Seeing Lin Tao nod, Mengqin also spoke.

"How much contact do you have?" Lin Tao asked back.

Even Lin Tao didn't realize that the words coming out of his mouth at this moment were actually the same as those spoken by the two people in front of him, both of which belonged to the language of Etna.

Lin Tao's words caused the two old men in front of him to frown. After looking at each other, they both sighed deeply. Meng Qin sighed and said, "Our Etna clan was almost wiped out. There are not many people left. This is just one of the people who took refuge. I really want to know, are you a member of our Etna clan, or..."

Having said this, Mengqin's eyes suddenly tightened, like a sharp knife, piercing into Lin Tao's eyes, and then along his eyes, into his brain.

Just as the pain in his head was beginning to appear, Lin Tao heard another stern shout in his ears: "Mengqi! Stop!"

This is the fierce roar of Elder Fentu.

This roar made the pain that pierced his brain disappear on the spot. When Lin Tao came to his senses, he saw that Elder Mengqin's gaze, which was as sharp as a knife, had returned to its original state.

"Is it a mind attack?" Lin Tao's heart shuddered. From Hong Shi's memory, he still understood what mind could do.

Feeling the mental attack from Elder Mengqin, Lin Tao retreated again without making a sound.

"Don't be angry, we just want to know your origins." Elder Fentu's tone returned to its original calmness at this time.

Lin Tao narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

"The army of the mechanical race has caused the collapse of all the alliances. Not only our Etna, but also the civilizations in the Zhimeng, Lekaer, Livixin, and Guhuang alliances are facing the crisis of genocide." Fentu sighed and looked at Lin Tao again: "I really want to know, which civilization are you a descendant of?"

The Mechanical Tribe? Etna? Zhimeng? Laikar? Levixin? Ancient Wild? The descendants of some other civilization?

Lin Tao was completely confused after hearing this and couldn't help but frown.

"Huh?" Elder Mengqin seemed to be rather anxious. When he saw Lin Tao's look, his face darkened. His originally wrinkled face now looked like the rough sea surface, with a hint of ferocity.

Without waiting for Lin Tao to react, Elder Fentu shouted again: "Mengqin, we don't have many people left. If this continues, there will be fewer and fewer younger generations who can master the power of mind. Then our Etna clan will be completely exterminated and become a historical dust that no one in the universe wants to mention."

Hearing this, Elder Mengqin's expression paused, then he let out a long sigh, turned his head away and said nothing more.

"You haven't left any historical documents. Aren't you clear about your own origins?" Elder Fentu asked Lin Tao again.

Lin Tao shook his head. In the later Interstellar Federation period, he had come into contact with many collections of books, but in these collections, there were no words such as Alliance, Zhimeng, Laikaer, Levixin, and Guhuang. Not to mention these, he had not even come into contact with the mechanical race.

Seeing Lin Tao's expression, Elder Fentu waved at him: "Come here."

Lin Tao frowned slightly, but now he was on a planet of unknown origin, and he also felt that the old man in front of him did not have any hostility, so he breathed a sigh of relief and walked over.

"Please stretch out your hand." said Elder Fentu.

Lin Tao followed his instructions and stretched out his right hand.

Elder Fentu also stretched out his right hand, which was as thin as a withered bone, and gently grasped Lin Tao's wrist: "I will extract a part of your genes to identify your origins. You don't need to be afraid of this process, it won't cause too much harm to you."

Lin Tao's expression changed slightly, but he still nodded, signaling the other party to take action.

Elder Fentu did not make any movement. Lin Tao only felt his wrist tighten, as if his muscles were generating pressure. This pressure came from within, as if there was a repulsion between the muscles.

A piercing pain formed in Lin Tao's mind, but when he thought of what the other party had said before, Lin Tao gritted his teeth and endured it.

Swish! Swish! Two small dots, one red and one white, appeared from the skin on Lin Tao's wrist.

The red color is blood and the white color is marrow.

These two points of blood and marrow were forced out of Lin Tao's body by an inexplicable force.

Lin Tao knew in his heart that this was the mind ability of Elder Fentu.

Elder Fentu quickly withdrew his hand and took the two small dots in his hand. The chair he was sitting on made a hum and floated to the bridge operating console.

After he operated on the operating table for a while, a glass tube rose beside him.

Elder Fentu first threw the blood into the glass tube, and the tube retracted again. Drop by drop, a light screen rose in front of him, and some strange words quickly appeared on the light screen.

The specimen is blood...

The specimen is being analyzed...

"Is this the Etna language?" Although he was far away, Lin Tao could still clearly see the words on the light screen and recognized them at a glance.

Although Elder Mengqin did not speak again, he was still looking at Lin Tao. After a while, he spoke again: "Well, judging from your appearance, you are similar to us Etna people, but your skin color is a bit like the Moors. However, according to Cangqiong, you have the skills of the Heimeng people, um..."

"That's strange, what race are you from?"

Elder Mengqin’s words made Lin Tao lose his mind for a moment.

Just when Lin Tao was distracted, Elder Fentu seemed to have seen the result in the blood and put the white bone marrow into the glass tube.

"Strange, what's the result?"

Because Lin Tao was listening to Elder Mengqin's words and was unable to see the result, this time he could not help but stare at the light screen.

The specimen is bone marrow...

The specimen is being analyzed...

I don't know how long it took, but the words "Analysis completed" finally appeared on the screen.

However, as soon as this sentence came out, countless words began to jump on the screen. Lin Tao frowned when he saw these words, because although he could understand these words, he could not understand their meaning.

I don’t know how long the words on the light screen jumped, but Lin Tao saw that after seeing these words, Elder Fentu’s expression began to become strange. Then he seemed to think of something, and his face sank again and became a little gloomy.

Finally, Lin Tao saw some familiar words in the text: Kongli, Moor, Etna, Heimeng, and even the words Zhimeng, Lekaer, Levixin, and Guhuang that he had seen before also appeared.

Finally, there is an extremely strange word, the three-eyed people.

After seeing this last word, Elder Fentu's expression suddenly changed, and even his body began to tremble.

"What's going on?" Elder Mengqin seemed to have noticed his abnormality, and while speaking, he turned his chair around. However, his eyes fell on the end of the analysis results. The moment he saw the 'three-eyed tribesman', his face changed drastically and his body began to tremble just like Elder Fentu.
