Chapter 845: Chapter 617: Don’t Believe It Means Don’t Believe_2

"Again with these outsiders! They always have no respect for the rules!" After Zheng Yichen left, several strong-bodied indigenous people arrived, with the males no shorter than 2.1 meters and females no shorter than 1.9 meters, glaring at the remnants of a campfire, full of intense dissatisfaction.

These outsiders always acted this way!

As for those outsiders calling them barbaric, they did not find anything objectionable about that; they were barbaric, but they also adhered to the rules of this land when conducting certain activities.

Inter-tribal conflicts were one thing—hunting grounds in the territory of another tribe were generally respected, leaving a portion of the game behind and only taking enough to meet immediate food needs.

Under ordinary circumstances, they did not hunt across boundaries, unless they had to travel far, passing through the territory of some tribe.

For people of a large tribe, such journeys were quite normal.

As to whether bringing back game from far-off places might cause misunderstandings, it usually did not; a tribe’s capability determined the extent of territory it could control, and although not every detail was accounted for, there were appropriate records.

It was obvious whether certain game was present within a territory or not.

However, some of these outsiders understood these rules and provided compensation after the fact, while others did not bother to learn about them at all.

"He had a peculiar way of taking the game with him...and there’s this."

Another woman, just as tall as the men, looked at something next to the campfire—a small pouch. After sniffing it, she opened it. As a terrifying upright ape...ahem, human of the Wild Ancient continent, they possessed not only great strength but also discerning abilities.

Inside were several small bottles.

"What are these? These outsiders always manage to bring out many attractive yet unsubstantial items," said a brawny man, eyeing the bottles. The largest bottle was still slimmer than one of his fingers.

Although the material was clear and shiny, the items were too fragile. A slight collision would easily break them, and fragile items were not popular in this world.

Containers for water? They had better ones! Crude as they might be, those could even be utilized as weapons in crucial moments.

"Is it medicine?" the woman asked with a slight frown, looking at the labels on the bottles. They were also familiar with the common language, which only presented minor differences from world to world, causing no problems when spoken.

However, in writing, their world’s common language was more ’simplified’. As for understanding the common language...well, learning and passing it down was useful for the tribe, and since other tribes knew it too, they weren’t at risk of losing it.

Aside from this general common language, the tribes had their own ritual language, far more complex and containing much more information. Few in the tribe could learn it—not because it was difficult, but because not many were qualified.

"Medicine? Should we have the Wizard look at it?"

"Take it back," the natives quickly concurred. Although Zheng Yichen had not left most of the game behind according to the customs of the Wild Ancient people, he had left something else in its place, which could be deemed acceptable.

As for pursuing him, that was not necessary; at most, they would just no longer welcome Zheng Yichen if he passed through again. They were also impressed by the efficiency with which he dispatched the game.

The game was accustomed to a powerful sliding tackle, but Zheng Yichen punched and pummeled the charging beast; they had seen it very clearly from a distance.

After that incident, the women in their group who hadn’t taken oaths became excited. The strong were popular, as long as they weren’t hostile. If they couldn’t take one by force, they’d welcome them in another way.

As for the oath, that was for females or males who felt they could never fancy another of the opposite sex, or it was demanded by someone so dominant and powerful—but the latter could easily be challenged. If the demanding one could maintain an unbeatable strength, then it was a different matter.

As for Zheng Yichen’s height, outsiders generally have a lower stature, but nearing two meters was still considered normal for them. Mainly, it was his displayed strength that was sufficiently fierce. As for the child he brought with him, what did it matter if one was strong enough?

It didn’t matter, or rather, children led by powerful beings were the ones worth noting. According to the traditional beliefs here in the Wild Ancient, only the sufficiently strong offspring would be kept by the side of the powerful, especially given the instincts of the Wild Ancient natives.

They sensed an aura of a ’wild beast’ within that child, seemingly not a regular Wild Ancient native but a special humanoid presence. This was not a negative point; on the contrary, it was a bonus.

A simple act by Zheng Yichen had increased their favorable impression of him, but their attitude toward outsiders remained rather indifferent. Aside from what the outsiders did, they also spread alarmist news.

They claimed their world was about to be destroyed, and a vast majority of all creatures would perish...

What kind of world joke was this? In even more ancient records, a mountain had collapsed to form the current continent, and the expanse of this continent was so vast that the Wild Ancient people could not explore it in a lifetime. How could their vast world, so fine as it was, be destroyed?

The aftermath of battles between the strong could destroy mountain ranges, and earthquakes were common, but that was all. The tribe’s wizard had said that the destruction caused by such battles was negligible. Most didn’t understand, but the example the wizard gave made it clear to them.

The wizard demonstrated with a strong member of the tribe, pricking his finger with a needle that caused a wound so minute it hardly bled, telling him that was akin to the seemingly severe destruction their battles wrought upon this world.

With a clear example, they understood.

How significant could a pinprick be? Their regenerative ability was not weak, clearly a wound that could be ignored. As for battles in certain areas that produced flames, that could be seen as larger wounds that bled, nothing more. The flames would eventually solidify, which was like the blood clotting on a hand wound, also something that would heal before long.

It just took a bit longer than a pinprick wound.

How could the world, as sturdy as a giant, possibly be destroyed, die?

Not to mention the wizard had also explained the stars, which could be seen as immobile Wild Ancient beasts, just much smaller than the land they inhabited—the Wild Ancient continent. The continent was a larger ’giant’, a top-ranking existence.

Therefore, under such beliefs, they didn’t believe a word said by those outsiders from the Sacred Land, although some tribes did. Yet, most tribes only saw it as scaremongering.

As for the fact that these outsiders came from the Sacred Land, it didn’t make much of a difference. The Sacred Land was special in their eyes, but those who came from it were just ’outsiders’, not ’Divine Envoys’.

The Sacred Land wasn’t related to gods; it was just a unique realm that avoided all conflicts.

Even the most powerful creatures had to resolve issues through conversation upon entering the Sacred Land. Some tribe’s heritages managed to survive also thanks to the Sacred Land, a place that could preserve the legacy at any time, free from the threat of violent takeover or destructive force.

That’s why it was deemed the Sacred Land.

As for gods? They stood on the Wild Ancient continent, land fought for by their ancestors with their hands and sweat—what did that have to do with gods they had never even heard of?

Only their ancestors were worthy of deification. Outsiders thought to be ’Divine Envoys’ amounted to nothing, and indeed, some outsiders’ deceitful acts only disgusted them.

They were even more dismissive of the ’alarmist’ news.

Of course, there were some outsiders who were still welcome, but this did not change anything.

Some Wild Ancient natives aspired to follow the outsiders and make further contact with the Sacred Land... yet the ’Holy Maidens’ of the Sacred Land deemed them unworthy and rejected them.
