After passing through the last narrow section of the tunnel, the two finally saw the wall at the end of the tunnel.

It was a semi-arc-shaped defensive structure made of huge blocks of stone that had been cut out of nowhere.

In the middle, there is an arched entrance, and two humanoids with dark gray skin are guarding it in armor.

Judging by their stature and appearance, eighty percent of them are women, and their faces have a large number of insect-like features, such as antennae on their foreheads, and exaggerated to disproportionately large eyes.

"Are they the natives of this world?" Luke asks his "brothers" through complex sign language.

Due to the special environment, if you use language to communicate, it is likely to cause your position to be exposed, so the two of them have a set of sign language.

In this way, they can discuss or discuss something important at a distance, or send an alarm to each other, even if they don't need to make a sound.

"That's right! The Anyat, a special intelligent life that combines the best of insects and mammals. According to the Darrant survey, they are believed to have risen 60,000 years ago and are a very ancient race with an independent culture and traditions. It is precisely these cultures and traditions that prevent them from evolving in a more advanced direction. The boy said everything he knew through sign language.

However, it is not difficult to see from his eyes that it is also the first time he has seen these strange intelligent beings, and his eyes are full of curiosity.

After all, it's one thing to see it in books and video materials, and it's another thing to see it with your own eyes.

"It's an interesting race! I can feel a different kind of power in them. Luke was careful to hide himself in a dark corner.

Because he found that the strange pair of antennae on the other party's head was not an ornament, but a very keen detection organ.

"It's an energy field! Every Anyath, from birth to death, will be closely connected to the core of this planet. They are like the darlings of this world, no matter how powerful outsiders are, they will be suppressed by the force field. Trust me, it's best not to get into a conflict with them unless you have to. ”

With these words of warning, the boy took the lead and walked around the corner, towards the entrance of the town.

When he was still more than ten meters away from the arch, one of the guards immediately raised his spear, which emitted a green fluorescent spear, and shouted: "Stop! stranger! tell me your name and purpose!"

"Hello, ma'am, I'm a traveler from another world, tired and hungry, and I wish I could get permission to enter town for a hot meal and a good night's sleep. In return, I'm willing to offer some interesting gadgets. The boy bowed politely and pulled out a small piece of jewelry from his pocket that had a faint magical power, but did not cause an abnormal force field.

"A traveler from another world?"

The female guards waited for the two exaggerated proportioned eyes to look up and down, while not forgetting to pick and choose among the trinkets.

Eventually, she chose a yellowish pin and pointed to the only entrance to the town and said, "Go inside, remember, don't try to break our laws and rules, or you'll ......."

"No problem! I'm not one of those self-righteous fools. The boy smiled and bent down in thanks, then quickly disappeared out of sight.

Obviously, there is no shortage of outsiders in this world, so the locals have long been accustomed to this, and have not shown the slightest surprise from the beginning to the end.

Luke, who was hiding in the corner, watched this scene and followed suit.

It's just that he set himself the identity of a businessman, and he also showed some food crops that are not available in this world.

There is no doubt that food is essential to any civilization.

In particular, Ancas is an underground world, so most of the crops are fungi, and there are no pollinated plants at all, and there are no sweets such as honey and cane sugar.

Therefore, after using a little of the materials stored in the magic pocket, Luke immediately received a higher standard of treatment than his brother.

Even the mayor of the town personally intervened, intending to buy the grain he brought at a high price, especially the seeds that could be tried to be planted.

As an underground world extending in all directions, there is no shortage of minerals here, and gold, silver, gems, and magical metals, which are regarded as treasures in most of the world, have long been flooded in this world.

In contrast to minerals, condiments, spices, and grains are extremely expensive.

Many of the poorer inhabitants can only afford meat per meal, which can be obtained cheaply by grazing several moss-feeding livestock.

Sitting at the table in the luxurious living room, Luke said in a joking tone while eating the tender meat steak: "Madam Mayor, you have no idea how I survived the past few days when I was lost. The only thing you can eat other than the dry food you bring with you is moss. ”

"Moss, you don't eat those bitter mosses, do you?" said a surprised look on the face of an older-looking female Anyat.

You don't have to ask to know that she is the ruler of this town, and at the same time the most powerful person.

After all, there is no so-called "democratic election" in this world, but whoever is the most powerful will be the supreme leader.

Of course, this "power" does not refer exclusively to violence, there is another important reference index, and that is fertility.

That's right!

It's fertility!

Women who tend to have the most children can be recognized by the majority.

As in the Darentan account, it was a world where women were dominant, and men were nothing more than appendages to women.

Take the mayor in front of her, she "married" twelve husbands, the youngest of whom stood at the table, serving food and cleaning up the garbage, and was not even qualified to sit down.

"Oh, is that blue moss called bitter moss? No wonder it tastes bitter and astringent. Luke deliberately pretended to be in a state of realization.

"Hehe, it seems that I have eaten bitter moss. In fact, in our world, not all mosses are suitable for food, and only a very small number of carefully cultivated ones can be served on the table. As for the bitter moss that can be found everywhere, most of them are used to feed livestock. Come, taste this, and then you'll understand how much of a difference there is between moss and moss......"
