Chapter 339: Clue Abyss

Liang Yu’s combat strength was something they all witnessed; not to mention their leader, even if all the remaining people attacked together, they wouldn’t be able to defeat Liang Yu and would instead be counter-killed by him.

The Indigenous people leader, startled, quickly shouted to stop them.

“Nonsense!”

“Who laid hands on our esteemed guest!”

After speaking, he looked at Liang Yu beside him, his face filled with awe.

“Esteemed guest, I am very sorry.”

“Those below are ignorant; I hope you won’t stoop to their level like children.”

It could only be said that the other party becoming a leader indeed showed some capability; putting aside everything else, with just that one move, he easily characterized the matter as children’s mischief.

He wanted to use this to make a big deal into a small one, and a small deal into nothing, after all, he truly didn’t want to conflict with Liang Yu.

He was grateful for Liang Yu’s life-saving grace and didn’t want to repay kindness with enmity, becoming an ungrateful person.

But at the same time, he also didn’t want to watch his tribesmen be killed right before his eyes, so he could only try his best to mediate.

Liang Yu had just gained a wave of goodwill from the Indigenous people leader, so he naturally didn’t want to just give up and let his goodwill be reset to zero; therefore, he had to give face.

Under the gaze of all of them, Liang Yu pulled out the iron spear, and everyone, including the Indigenous people leader, hoped that Liang Yu would not move against them.

These Indigenous people were already prepared for battle, but then they saw Liang Yu, right in front of them, fold the spear, which was exceptionally hard for them, in half from the middle.

Then he continued to fold it in half from the middle, over and over again, terrifying these Indigenous people, until finally, the iron spear was kneaded into an iron ball in Liang Yu’s hand.

He tossed the iron ball in his hand, then directly smashed it at the feet of the Indigenous people who had shown killing intent towards him.

Seeing that Liang Yu hadn’t killed anyone, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; it was good that no one had died.

But everyone was terrified by Liang Yu’s unique skill of kneading an iron ball with his bare hands; after all, if he could knead an iron ball with his bare hands, he could also knead them into a ball.

At this moment, the Indigenous people leader saw that Liang Yu was no longer pursuing the matter, so he warmly led him back to the encampment.

At the same time, he also arranged for people to watch the Indigenous people who had attacked Liang Yu, fearing any further incidents.

After Liang Yu followed the Indigenous people leader to the encampment, he found that it was not quite what he had imagined; there were more or less traces of modern civilization in the architecture.

The Indigenous people leader seemed accustomed to Liang Yu’s reaction; he brought him back to his own home and treated him well.

Liang Yu sat inside the house, looking at the calm and composed Indigenous people leader, his heart full of questions, and finally, he couldn’t help but ask.

“How come there are traces of modern civilization here?”

After asking, he realized he might have asked in vain, as the other party might not even know what he meant by modern civilization.

Unexpectedly, the Indigenous people leader sighed and didn’t answer Liang Yu’s question; instead, he said, “You must be from the surface, right.”

“Don’t rush to answer me.”

“I already knew when you appeared with that device.”

Then, under Liang Yu’s shocked gaze, the Indigenous people leader brewed a cup of tea for him and slowly placed it in front of him.

At this point, the Indigenous people leader began to explain.

“Are you very surprised?”

“This was passed down by you all a long time ago.”

Liang Yu quickly found the key phrases in his words.

From his meaning, it seemed that the experience and knowledge were imparted by people who had come here before.

A short sentence explained a lot to Liang Yu, but most of it he had to infer himself.

After taking a sip of tea, the Indigenous people leader continued to explain to Liang Yu.

“A long time ago, a group of strange people came here.”

“At that time, they brought some strange things that we had never seen or heard of.”

“Later, they learned to communicate with us and slowly taught us some common sense about life and language.”

“Five years had passed after they taught us some knowledge and techniques.”

“Then, one day, they left in a hurry, without even a word of farewell.”

“Afterward, we tried to find them, but we found that all the tribes, big and small, around us were the same; they stayed for five years, taught us a lot of knowledge during those five years, and then suddenly disappeared.”

After Liang Yu heard these words, his original confusion was not resolved; instead, it increased.

Why would someone appear here and specifically bring them civilization?

Moreover, according to what this leader said, such an occurrence was not an isolated case; instead, it seemed to be a large-scale, deliberate undertaking.

As for the intention behind doing this, he couldn’t guess at all.

He could only look at the leader, wanting to know what else they had left behind besides bringing civilization.

So he organized what he needed to ask the Indigenous people leader.

“Then, after they left, did they leave behind anything special?”

“Or rather, not things, but like books or other materials?”

The Indigenous people leader listened to what Liang Yu said, thought carefully, and then shook his head.

“No, they disappeared very suddenly at that time.”

“All their belongings and people were gone when we returned.”

“It was as if they never existed; there were no traces of their presence to be found.”

At this point, the leader suddenly changed the subject, giving Liang Yu a clue.

“However, if you really want to find them, I can tell you a place.”

“They frequently entered and exited there.”

“But for us, it’s simply too dangerous.”

“Keep going east; there’s a cliff there, and the abyss beneath the cliff is their destination.”

After Liang Yu heard the Indigenous people leader’s words, he suddenly felt an urge to hit someone.

Dangerous?

It’s very dangerous for you, but for me, there’s no danger at all, right?

Even if you think I’m very strong and won’t be in danger, you should at least give me some information, right? Just telling me where it is and saying nothing else, Liang Yu was truly speechless.

Perhaps sensing the resentment emanating from Liang Yu, the Indigenous people leader specifically added to his explanation.

“It’s not that we haven’t explored that place.”

“On the contrary, we’ve lost the lives of many tribesmen in our attempts to explore it.”

At this point, the Indigenous people leader’s emotions also changed.

His life had been quite tragic; he lost his wife early, leaving him to raise three children alone.

After finally raising his three children, his eldest and second sons went to the abyss to search for those who had disappeared, and there had been no news of them since.

His last remaining offspring, his youngest, was now only a head, brought back, and preparations were being made for his funeral.

After a long while, he finally spoke again.

“Don’t blame that child, Wu Er.”

Liang Yu was a bit confused when he heard this; he looked at the leader, wanting to know who Wu Er was.
