Chapter 595: Chapter 381: Branch Horn Cloud Deer_2
Those people, upon seeing that he was a True Dragon person, all kept their distance.
"It’s time to disguise myself," he said.
Ji Xinghuo descended into the midst of the mountains.
Using electromagnetic induction to scan his surroundings and confirm that there was no one around, he shed the True Dragon-styled battle clothes he wore in a valley and changed into a set of rugged armor made from metal and beast skin. This armor, merely Superpower One Star defensive gear, was adorned with totemic patterns on its shoulder guards, belt, and breastplate, exuding an air of wildness.
This was armor crafted by the "Deserted People," casually collected on the Bloody Plateau and stored in the Dimension Stomach.
The Deserted People were one of the most common human branches in the Star Realm.
Numerous in number, they were spread across every forest, mountain, and wilderness of the Star Realm. Most civilizations were primitive, leading lives where they ate raw flesh and drank blood. A few established territories in the form of tribes and fortress villages.
Although there were Deserted People who had harnessed strength and technology to form nations, in the eyes of other races, Deserted People were always seen as primitive, belonging to the very bottom of civilization.
In contrast, Deserted People and True Dragon people were like two extremes.
One was barbaric, weak, and backward but spread across the Star Realm like weeds, tenaciously surviving, forming the background and base color of this world.
The other was civilized, powerful, and advanced, occupying a high and lofty position as rulers, dazzlingly brilliant, naturally the protagonists of the world.
However, there were not many physical differences between Deserted People and True Dragon people.
Both had limbs and facial features, walked upright, and had similar body proportions. At first glance, they looked quite similar.
But no one would mistake one for the other.
The most distinct feature of the Deserted People was their abundant body hair, with rough skin, unlike the delicate smoothness of the True Dragon people. The facial features of the Deserted People were rugged, with pronounced eyebrows and eyes, dense facial hair, and large hands and feet.
The first impression that True Dragon people gave to others was perfection, while the first sight of Deserted People would bring to mind the image of primitive man.
A starkly different temperament was their greatest distinction.
Ji Xinghuo changed into the beast skin armor and then controlled the transformation of his body shape. His Sixth Level Spiritual Limbs allowed him to adjust his form within a small range, in combination with the Holy Scale Armor’s control over his bones.
Crack, crack, crack...
Light noises came from within as Ji Xinghuo’s arms and legs thickened slightly, palms became broader, and fingertips lengthened.
His arm span was much longer than that of an average person, and after the adjustment, he quickly adapted.
Next, his skin roughened, brow and eyes became slightly prominent, cheekbones slightly raised, and the entire style of his face immediately changed. From handsome and attractive, he transformed into a figure of wild and domineering appearance, his pitch-black pupils revealing fierce aggression, as if he had become a different person.
The Rotating Magnetic Field stimulated the scalp cells, causing hair to grow wildly. In minutes, it had grown into a large, untamed mass.
At the same time, thick beard stubble sprouted on his cheeks and chin, which he then trimmed slightly.
Ji Xinghuo walked to the water to take a look at his reflection.
"Not bad!" he exclaimed.
He admired his new image for a moment. Not only had his appearance changed drastically, his temperament was also worlds apart from before.
If his family and friends were standing in front of him, they might not recognize him at a glance.
Ji Xinghuo concealed his aura, took out the Fierce Brace that he had not used for a long time and put it on, letting his build swell a size larger. Then, with the "Ice Vein Battle Axe" on his back, along with the Black Constant Crystal Battle Bow and quiver, he completely looked the part of a Deserted Person.
"Being a Deserted Person isn’t so bad," he muttered to himself.
In the True Dragon Dynasty, impersonating a True Dragon person was a capital offense, but impersonating a Deserted Person was something no one cared about.
Who would bother impersonating a lower race?
Ji Xinghuo held no discriminatory views towards the Deserted People; in fact, he found them quite intriguing. Long before he entered the Star Realm, while he was still attending university courses, he had heard his professor say that the Deserted People were a very special race in the Star Realm.
The Deserted People were ancient, so ancient that they predated the recorded history of the Star Realm’s civilization. They had countless connections with numerous human branches.
In history books of various races, traces of Deserted People were often found, and occasionally ancient artifacts corroborating their existence were unearthed from ruins.
There was also a rumor that circulated in the Star Realm.
In the distant prehistoric age, at least millions of years ago, it was the Deserted People who dominated the Star Realm, establishing a vast state that ruled over the Star Realm and the Milky Way. But, for unknown reasons, they later fell into decline, scattering throughout the Star Realm and the Milky Way.
Today, all human branches had evolved from the Deserted People.
In other words, the Deserted People were the ancestors of humankind.
Even the True Dragon Race, initially, was a branch of the Deserted People, only becoming what it is today through generations of integration with the True Dragon bloodline. There are also the Dan Race, Highlanders, River Intermittent People, and so on, all evolved from the Deserted People under various influences.
Of course, this theory is not accepted by all races, and in the True Dragon Dynasty, it is scoffed at.
Equating the Deserted People with the True Dragon Race is seen as an insult by the True Dragon Race.
It even became a taboo topic.
On Earth, however, this is a topic that sparks widespread discussions, with many scholars collecting relics to study, though with little to no success due to scarce resources.
Ji Xinghuo tended to believe it was true.
However, it had nothing to do with him.
He disguised himself as one of the Deserted People and continued on his way, but instead of flying, he chose to run on the ground.
This was more in line with the strength and habits of the Deserted People.
Even in the True Dragon Dynasty, Mutants capable of flying were the minority. Ji Xinghuo running boldly along the road quickly felt the differential treatment due to his identity and was frequently met with disdainful looks; he even heard cursing behind him after he passed by.
Ji Xinghuo didn’t care about this, as it meant his disguise was good and no one detected any issues with him.
Running on the ground after all wasn’t as fast as flying.
When Star Night fell, Ji Xinghuo had only run a few hundred kilometers. In the wilderness, he casually entered a forest to set up camp and rest.
During the night, people flew overhead from time to time, including the Canghuo Dragon Lord.
"They haven’t given up the chase yet."
Ji Xinghuo, in his tent, furrowed his brow slightly but didn’t take it to heart, as those people had discovered his campsite but hadn’t come down to check. They clearly hadn’t realized he was the target of the pursuit.
He continued his journey after daybreak.
Ji Xinghuo kept sprinting on the ground, his Electromagnetic Induction always activated.
"Huh?"
After running over a thousand kilometers, Ji Xinghuo passed through a primeval forest and sensed a peculiar creature.
It resembled a deer, nearly four meters tall, lithe and agile. In the rugged and complex forest, it leaped like an elf, light and nimble, and was also incredibly fast, sometimes even capable of tread-empty running.
The Star Realm is full of strange creatures, with many similar to this one.
But this one was a bit special.
It was not only fast but also capable of concealing its tracks, which would be hard to detect without Electromagnetic Induction.
Ji Xinghuo immediately cloaked himself in invisibility and sped up to get closer.
Soon, he had a clear view of the creature and his face showed recognition, "It’s a Branch Horn Cloud Deer."
This huge deer had a set of massive antlers on its head, resembling two trees with numerous branches. The tips of the branches pointed skyward, and each branch was covered with verdant leaves and blooming flowers, indistinguishable from real plants.
Its azure hide was adorned with beautiful patterns, its figure slender and graceful with clouds swirling around its hooves, as if it was walking amidst the clouds.
The Branch Horn Cloud Deer is a rare creature.
It is a monster that’s half-plant, half-animal, but mild-mannered, possessing strong healing abilities, running at high speeds with enduring stamina, and the ability to tread-empty run, making it one of the best mounts in the Star Realm.
Moreover, the combat strength of the Branch Horn Cloud Deer is quite formidable.
Once, a Hunting Team captured a Branch Horn Cloud Deer and brought it back to Earth, selling it for the astronomical price of three hundred million Ya Yuan.
Even without using it as a mount, killing a Branch Horn Cloud Deer could yield one to two Transcendent Species.
Ji Xinghuo observed it carefully.
This Branch Horn Cloud Deer was of Superior Level, with quite impressive strength. It wouldn’t have been of much help in normal circumstances, but now it was exactly what he needed for a mount to hasten his journey.
He floated up while invisible, slowly approaching the Branch Horn Cloud Deer that was grazing.
The distance gradually closed.
When he was a little more than two hundred meters away, the Branch Horn Cloud Deer suddenly lifted its head, looking puzzled for a moment before leaping up and attempting to flee.
"Sharp perception, but useless."
Ji Xinghuo appeared as a bolt of lightning, instantly catching up with the Branch Horn Cloud Deer. Lightning burst from his fingertips, dazing the creature for a moment, which he used as his chance to mount its back and grasp its branch-like antlers, pinning it down.
