"Coo..."
Suddenly, a green vine shot out from the vines beside them. Like a venomous snake, it lashed out at Ye Chen, who was standing in the middle of this group of primitive humans, his hands bound.
Ye Chen reacted almost as soon as the sound rang out. When he turned his head to look, he saw the pouch at the top of the green vine suddenly open, revealing a ferocious mouth with crisscrossing fangs that expanded in his eyes …
Pfft!
There was a slight gust of wind, and then the green vine's mouth was suddenly pierced by a sharp spear, piercing through to the top. Red blood seeped out of the wound, and the vine twitched a few times before it stopped moving completely.
Ye Chen's face was full of surprise, not because of the plant life, but because he saw that the primitive man who had retrieved the spear actually had the Strength of a Level 100 Physique. It should be known that the primitive men in this tomb had been investigated by scientists in his previous life. They were ancient people who had migrated here in the early stages of civilization. Although there was some difference in height, their strength was still ridiculously strong!
After all, there were no viruses or glycosylated meat here.
"A Level 1 Bloodthirsty Green Vine."
The primitive man's expression was calm as he dug out the roots of the plant life and put it into a hemp pouch he carried with him. He patted the pouch and said, "Today's food is settled."
The man in the necktie smiled and said, "Little Lu, I'll be going to your house for dinner tonight."
"No problem, boss." Little Lu smiled happily.
The few of them laughed as they continued forward. Along the way, they encountered many monsters hidden in the forest. Some were plant life, while others were primitive beasts. The strongest primitive beast they encountered had a Level 300 Physique. In the end, it was killed by the leader. In their words, it was called a Level 3 monster!
As they continued forward, Ye Chen gradually understood the strength of these people. On this island, just this forest alone was already so dangerous, not to mention the sea at the edge of the island. The dangers inside were even more terrifying!
In such an environment, if people wanted to survive, they naturally had to become stronger.
Moreover, the gravity on the ground was 10 times that of the outside world, and the air density was also 10 times that of the outside world. In other words, even the most ordinary civilian here had a Constitution of Level 1!
Not long after, under the guidance of several familiar hunters, the group passed through the jungle. As the curtain of greenery opened, a simple and spacious village slowly appeared in front of Ye Chen.
This village was extremely beautiful. Smoke rose from kitchen chimneys in all directions, giving it an antique atmosphere. Most of the houses had chickens jumping and dogs running in front of their doors, giving it a farm-like atmosphere. There was a wooden stake at the outermost perimeter, protecting the villagers from being harmed by sudden attacks from wild beasts.
"We're here."
The leader looked at Ye Chen and said with a smile, "Outsider, this is our village. Lord Elder is in the temple at the back of the mountain!
I'll take you to wash up first, then we'll go see the Elder. Don't speak disrespectfully. The Elder is the noblest and the greatest person in the village. He's also the Temple Emissary of this island! "
"Temple Emissary?" Ye Chen was startled. These things were not recorded in the documents.
"Yes!"
The leader's face was somewhat serious as he said, "The Temple is the most noble place. Our lives and our ancestors were all saved by the Yellow Emperor. The Temple Emissary represents the Yellow Emperor. Once you offend the Temple Emissary, no one can save you."
Ye Chen nodded slightly. He had some understanding in his heart. This so-called Temple Emissary was most likely the administrator of the various islands in the inland sea.
Immediately, Ye Chen followed the leader into the village.
Perhaps it was out of curiosity, but not long after, many villagers heard the news and came over. They were dressed in coarse hemp clothes and looked extremely simple. Some of them were barefoot and had just returned from planting rice seedlings in the fields.
"I heard that there are people from the outside world?"
"The outside world?
According to the Elder, the outside world is a chaotic world. Back then, the Yellow Emperor migrated from the outside world. "
"He's so short. He only reaches my waist."
Many villagers were discussing and pointing at Ye Chen. The latter was somewhat speechless. So short?
Ye Chen's face was full of tears. Standing with a group of people who were more than three meters tall, his body was indeed "short" enough.
He had now become a "dwarf" in a primitive human society.
After washing up, Ye Chen took off the Black Feather Armor and the gorgeous Explosive Flame War Boots. When no one was paying attention, he put these precious gold equipment into the rune space. Then he changed into coarse hemp clothes. Not only did he not look old-fashioned, but with his straight posture and slender and well-proportioned body, he gave people a sense of fashion.
"Let's go!"
The leader looked at Ye Chen and was quite satisfied. Then he led him around the village and walked towards the back of the mountain. Along the way, many people saw Ye Chen and were curious as if they had seen an alien.
"Dad, dad … …"
Suddenly, a big child ran from afar. His face was full of joy. He was a big child because he was 2.5 meters tall, but had a young face. His skin was dark and gave people a sense of strength. His whole body was covered with muscles, but his voice was only around fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Xiao Lu?
Why are you here? "The leader looked at the boy and felt a little strange. He said," Aren't you taking the exam? "
The boy first curiously looked at Ye Chen, but when he heard this, he quickly shifted his gaze and said excitedly, "Dad, I passed the exam. I'm a rank four warrior!!"
"What?!" The leader was stunned for a moment. Then he said with joy, "You really passed the exam?
Are you sure?
Haha, my son, you're amazing! "As he said this, he hugged his son with a face full of joy.
How could he not be happy?
His son was only a teenager, but he had reached rank four. His strength was almost comparable to his. His future potential was limitless!
"Oh right, dad."
Xiao Lu let go of his father's shoulder and looked curiously at Ye Chen. He said, "Who is this little guy?"
Little guy … … Ye Chen rolled his eyes again.
The leader was in a good mood. He said with a smile, "He's an outsider. I'll take him to see the Elder first. You go back and prepare the food and wine. Today, father and son will celebrate. It's a pity that your mother is not here. Otherwise, she would be even happier."
Xiao Lu's expression dimmed for a moment. Then he recovered his smile and said with a grin, "Don't worry. Mother will be very happy to see me in the Temple."
For them, the Temple was equivalent to heaven. It was a sacred place that could not be violated.
After the father and son said their goodbyes, the man in the lead led Ye Chen down a brick path to the Divine Palace at the back of the mountain. Looking from a distance, there was a white Divine Palace on a green slope filled with fragrant grass. It had faint golden decorations, making it look even more luxurious.
On both sides of the entrance stood two guards. They were dressed in beast fur with golden blades hanging from their waists. They looked like they were forged from rare and expensive metals.
"This is the Temple. I'll wait for you outside. You go in alone." The leader looked at Ye Chen with a serious expression. He said, "Don't be disrespectful!"
Ye Chen nodded and walked towards the Deities Templar. After listening to the leader's explanation, the two envoys searched Ye Chen's body and let him in. They weren't too wary of him. To them, on this island, the Great Elder was the strongest. Giving Ye Chen a weapon was the same as sending him to his death. Furthermore, attacking the Great Elder was equivalent to going against the entire Deities Templar!
In the Temple, the windows were open and the light was bright. There were fine dust particles floating in the air. At the top, a white-haired old man sat, flipping through an ancient book. It was made of paper and not bamboo.
Ye Chen looked at the book in the old man's hand and secretly paid attention. This was enough to explain many things. He said, "Hello, I'm an outsider who accidentally came here. I don't have any evil intentions."
The white-haired old man looked up from the ancient book and glanced at Ye Chen. He was old and shrewd. There was no expression on his face and his voice was very calm. He said, "You said you don't have any evil intentions. I want to test it. Come here and put your hand on this crystal ball."
Ye Chen looked at the crystal ball floating on the totem wood in front of the old man. He pondered for a moment and then walked forward. Because he had been untied when he came in, he raised his hand and placed it on the crystal ball. It was cold to the touch.
When his palm touched the crystal ball, Ye Chen's mind exploded with a murderous aura, as if he had been slapped in the face. His eyes involuntarily turned ferocious, but soon, under the cover of a white light, this murderous aura was suppressed.
The white-haired old man next to him had been paying attention to the crystal ball. At first, when Ye Chen's hand touched the crystal ball, it became pitch black. It was as black as ink and was a bit terrifying. He swore that he had never seen such a dark heart in his life!
But soon, he saw a white light dispel the darkness and replace the crystal ball. The white light occupied 55% of the crystal ball and the black gas was suppressed to the other side.
The white-haired old man frowned. After a long time, he slowly nodded and said, "Yes, your nature is not a bad person. In your normal state, your subjective thinking is the dominant one."
As he spoke, he looked at Ye Chen with a profound gaze. There was something he didn't say. This old man had seen countless people in his life, but he had never seen someone with a heart as dark as yours. Just how much killing intent is there in your heart?
But when the white light appeared, he felt that there was no need to ask this question. No matter how dark a person's heart was, they still had kindness in them. This was extremely rare. Moreover, with such a dark heart, it was a miracle that he could still maintain kindness!
"You are kind. I believe you." The white-haired old man's expression softened. "You came here by mistake?"
Ye Chen nodded. "Yes."
"I can see that you are also someone with experience."
The white-haired old man nodded. He had a dignified air about him. "As long as you promise that you will not do anything to harm the villagers, I can allow you to stay in the village. Otherwise, you can go back to wherever you came from!"
"Don't worry."
Ye Chen nodded. Only by obtaining the permission of the 'local' living here would he have the ability to carry out the next step of his plan – to head to the inland sea!

Brothers, you're kind. Give me some recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. I'll smash whatever I can find. I'll place the baskets that are asking for a beating here.
