Chapter 18: First Diplomacy with an Extraterrestrial Civilization

Su Tai looked at the spear against his throat with an incredulous expression, as long as Qiao Lu used a little force, he could easily take his life.

In their Na'vi tradition, dying in a duel was a mundane affair, so Jolu had every right to do so.

However, Qiao Lu put away the tip of the spear, took two steps back and asked Su Tai, "This time you were careless, do you want to try again?" ”

This is exactly what Su Tai originally wanted to say, if he hadn't been careless for a while, and rushed straight up to compete with Qiao Lu for brute strength, the outcome was unknown.

After all, the Na'vi have an advantage over humans not only in strength, but also in physique, stamina, agility, and even skill.

If Qiao Lu had been treated as a strong enemy from the beginning, he would definitely not have lost so easily.

But just as Sutai was about to get up and fight again, a female Na'vi came up from the back of the line and said:

"That's enough, Sutai, this human has proven his courage and strength, and you have indeed lost to him once."

"Nitley, don't be nosy." Sutai yelled at the female Na'vi, "This is a matter between me and him, and you don't need to take care of it. ”

"He's a true samurai, and it's up to the female elder to decide whether or not he's welcome." The female Na'vi named Nitri insisted.

"Or are you going against Eva's will, Sutai?"

Hearing the word Eva, Su Tai's arrogance was suppressed at once.

That was the belief of their Na'vi, the gods of the planet, and the Female Elder was the religious leader of the entire tribe, so even Sutai had to obey.

"Damn aliens······"

Leaving this behind, Sutai had no choice but to return to the Homestead with his cavalry, leaving Nitri and a few of her retinue to look after Qiao Lu and the others.

Seeing that the team surrounding him finally withdrew, Liu Peiqiang and Wang Lei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Even they didn't expect Qiao Lu to really be able to defeat that tall and tall Su Tai, still with such a primitive weapon.

Don't look at it, this seems to be a contest won by the brute force provided by the power exoskeleton alone, in fact, if it weren't for Qiao Lu's man-like agility, it would be impossible to catch the oncoming spear.

In the case of the two of them, I am afraid that they will be pierced through the heart under Su Tai's first thrust, and it is impossible to create such an opportunity to wrestle with each other.

Liu Peiqiang and Wang Lei both had to sigh that Qiao Lu was really a master of art and bold, and he completely brought the dynamic exoskeleton performance of the wandering earth to the extreme, so as to get such a result.

But for the Na'vi who don't even know what a powered exoskeleton is, it will undoubtedly only bring a greater shock.

The Na'vi have long believed that humans are an inferior race that only hides in tin cans and uses all kinds of strange weapons to shoot flames from afar, and they don't understand the glory of the samurai.

And today, Qiao Lu used their own weapons to defeat their tribe's number one warrior, Sutai, which naturally completely subverted this concept.

In Jolu's body, Nitri sees hope that humans will learn how to survive the Na'vi, which is the main reason why she will intervene to stop Sutai.

Nitri walked up to Jolu and gave a friendly salute and said, "Warriors of the Race, I greet you on behalf of the Omatikaya tribe. If you didn't come with malicious intent, please come with me to the female elder. ”

Surprisingly, Nitri actually said this paragraph in English, so even Liu Peiqiang and Wang Lei could understand what she said.

Wang Lei hurriedly asked in English: "You can actually use human language?" Did the colonists here teach you? ”

Nitri nodded, "They used to run schools in the tribe, and Sutai and I both studied there. It's a pity that human behavior became worse and worse, and we had to expel them. ”

Liu Peiqiang complained: "That guy can also speak English just now, why doesn't he speak human language?" ”

"That's human words, too, but the words of the Na'vi." Qiao Lu patted Liu Peiqiang's shoulder and said.

"Alright, let's wait until we enter the tribe, where we should be able to find the sample we want."

Accompanied by Nitley, Qiao Lu and the others were finally able to get close to the Homestead Tree to explore.

Along the way, a large number of Na'vi people rushed to hear the news, keeping a distance and watching from afar, Jolu, an outlier among the humans.

It had been a long time since humanity's relationship with the Na'vi had deteriorated, and no one had been allowed to enter the tribe as guests.

What's more, the news of Su Tai's defeat by Qiao Lu has spread in a short period of time, and naturally it has attracted more onlookers, as if welcoming some important guest, consciously expelling a way in the tribe.

The Na'vi had a mixture of fear, respect, and disgust in their eyes, and welcomed the trio into the roots of the homecoming tree with a very complicated attitude.

The gap between them and humans is still not so easy to bridge, but the fact that Qiao Lu defeated Su Tai in a fair match undoubtedly tore a hole in this airtight wall.

"Your prestige among the Omaticaya tribe has risen to 'respect.'"

"Successfully establish diplomacy with Neville Civilization: Omatikaya and earn 1000 Civilization Points."

The two system prompts brought Qiao Lu another surprise, and 1000 civilization points was the biggest reward he had ever received.

Since Qiao Lu's current identity is a special envoy of the United Government of the Wandering Earth, being welcomed into the tribe by the Na'vi people can indeed be regarded as the first diplomatic contact between the Wandering Earth and an alien civilization.

If this was a time of peace when the earth did not face any crisis, it would have been a great moment that would go down in history.

It's a pity that the most important thing at the moment is still superconducting ore, and the civilization exchange between the Na'vi tribes may have to be put aside first.

What's more, in the future, it is not known whether the Wandering Earth and the Na'vi people will be friends or enemies, and Qiao Lu does not dare to rashly make decisions for the 3.5 billion people on the earth.

Let's represent myself first and find a way to get a piece of superconducting ore back.

Nitri took Jolu and the others to the plaza next to the trunk of the homestead, where a large number of Na'vi people had already been distanced, standing on the branches of the trees and watching the results of this extraterrestrial exchange.

A bonfire burned in the middle of the square, and above the fire, hung a large, hideous skull, which looked like the head of some kind of pterosaur.

And under the skull, an old female Na'vi turned her back to Qiao Lu's side, and slowly turned back under the commotion of the crowd.

Obviously, she was the female elder of the tribe's religious leader.

"Welcome, human. You are a true samurai, unlike those laymen we have met before. Hope that we can get more valuable information from you. ”
