Chapter 5 Aboriginal Peoples

An alchemist who has successfully advanced to the rank is the first to draw his power from metal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike most mages, they don't spend a lot of time studying the magic of spell meditation, and many alchemists will suddenly level up in the course of their experiments. The most obvious characteristic of academic spellcasters is that they use a lot of knowledge and experiments to pursue the essence of things, and eventually use this as an opportunity to find a way to completely grasp the power of a certain law. Most of the academy spellcasters have weak combat power in the early stage, but once they make a breakthrough in a certain field, they are very likely to master the power of the law.

The ancestors of the Stephens were such great academic alchemists.

He incorporated the power of the law into his bloodline and passed it on to his descendants. Therefore, Stephen Zhou is not an alchemist of the mage department, but an alchemist belonging to the warlock department.

Sometimes he also wonders if he can't break through the limit no matter what, whether he is already as strong as his ancestors. Warlocks' power comes from blood, they are born with the ability to cast spells, any Stephen can become an alchemist, but the talent is not as good as the generation. Stephen Zhou was the only alchemist who had regained the power of the law, but he had never been able to break through the upper limit of mortals, which made him wonder if his ancestors had only reached this level, so no matter how much he developed his innate ability, he couldn't break through the bottleneck.

If this is the case, then he must abandon his past achievements and retrace his own path, a path that surpasses that of his ancestors.

..................

A week's time.

Stephen Chow's safe base is almost complete.

Covering an area of approximately 10,000 square meters, the No. 1 Security Base has a studio, three storage rooms, a master bedroom, two guest rooms, a kitchen, a planting area (currently vacant), and three vertical underground mines. The main material of the security base is marble, it is located fifty meters underground, and the entrance is a vertical elevator, which can only be activated by the level 0 trick 'Arcane Mark'.

This is a temporary shelter.

Since there is no 'energy storage crystal' in the hand and no electricity can be arranged, the lighting is entirely based on the lowest 'alchemy torch', a torch made of coal and wood that can burn all day. At present, there are only three defensive traps in the base, there are no puppet guards, there is enough food to store for one person for three months, and the warehouse is reserved for 100 units of wood, 100 units of stone, 100 units of coal mines, and 10 units of iron ingots.

Stephen Chow finally decided to explore the world.

He needs to collect a lot of information about this unknown world, since the time of Thorsilver, the casters have tried to colonize the stars, the origin of the arcane civilization can no longer be traced, but the original casters have fought against the gods, exploring the end of time and space.

This isn't the first time Stephen Chow has explored other worlds.

Leaving the underground shelter is a joy for Stephen Chow, and alchemists must learn to regulate themselves in order to adapt to tedious and boring work.

It's a plain.

With forests to the south and rivers to the north, Stephen headed with his back to the mountains, looking for traces of this world's indigenous civilization.

In the endless wilderness, Stephen Chow travels alone, leaving a signpost at the base so that he can find his way back at any time. A person who travels in nature can be extraordinarily small, the species of this world are dangerous and huge, and in the afternoon he saw a huge pitcher plant with a strange fragrance, which swallowed a horse-like creature that was more than fifty centimeters long in one gulp. The gravity coefficient of this planet is 1.5, which consumes a lot of physical strength and stamina, and ordinary people need an anti-gravity area to adapt here, and it can be inferred that if there are indigenous civilizations in this world, their body will be taller and their stamina will be stronger.

The limit of the gravitational coefficient that Stephen Chow can adapt to is 10.5, but this strength of gravity is only encountered in the elemental world.

After entering the plains, Stephen encountered the hyenas again.

They attempted to attack Stephen Chow, but when they approached, they suddenly found that their prey had turned into an iron lump, and then, after suffering casualties to five hyenas, they quickly fled from the terrible prey.

The three moons in the sky are still the same.

Stephen Zhou judged that they would only mutate under certain circumstances, and then this mutation would affect the energy field of this world, resulting in the kind of strange situation encountered on the first day.

The abundance of plants makes the population of herbivorous species very large.

Stephen saw horned deer the size of an adult horse, zebras with six legs weighing nearly a ton, huge beasts that looked like rhinoceros but more like earthwalkers, and a very familiar and very dangerous dinosaur species, the Velociraptor.

When he first saw the pterosaurs, Stephen guessed that there were a lot of dinosaur creatures left in the world, and he was sure of this when he encountered the velociraptors. Approximately 2.1 meters in length, these adult Velociraptors resemble miniature versions of dinosaurs, and are very intelligent, cunning, and cruel. Dinosaur creatures don't seem to dominate this world, which makes Stephen Zhou have some guesses, because most of the worlds where dinosaurs exist are connected to an ancient god.

Stephen's quest made a major breakthrough on the third day, as he encountered a migrating tribe of humans.

Maybe not sure if it's human, because they're a bit tall.

The leader of this team is a burly middle-aged man 3.9 meters tall dressed in gray animal skin, his hair is tied into three braids, his thick arms are full of explosive power, his bare chest is full of wounds left by wild beasts, and his weapon is a mace made of bone that reflects the luster of metal. The height of the others is between 3.2-3.5 meters, all of them have very fair skin, not the kind of pampered white but born as white as snow, the civilization of this aboriginal group should be relatively low, Stephen Zhou saw from them relatively simple clothes, most of them are made of animal skins, a small number of metal utensils, it can be judged that the survival of these people is mainly hunting.

Stephen Chow did not rush into these people.

Because he also found a somewhat dangerous target, an old woman with gray hair, a bone staff in her hand, wearing many skull-made ornaments, and all kinds of weird bottles and jars.

"Shamanic Teachings!"

"It still looks a bit like Voodoo!"

The whole group looks primitive and savage, with the vast majority of adults wearing ornaments made of bones and warriors tattooing their bodies with paint, most of the aborigines with these characteristics have not entered the age of true civilization, and they are dangerous and may even have a tradition of cannibalism.

It can be judged that they are not purebred humans.

It is preliminarily estimated to belong to the branch of the giants, and in many primitive and desolate worlds, the giants have the habit of feeding on other races.

Shamanic teachings advocate wildness, nature, and the law of the jungle.

If it's voodoo, then this group is even more dangerous, and Stephen Chow must observe them before coming into contact with them.

As an alchemist who has traveled many worlds, Stephen Zhou has two spells on his body that are constantly near his brain, the first is [Advanced Literacy], and the second is [Advanced Literacy]. Although he doesn't speak the language of these giants yet, he can understand their meaning, and it only takes a little time to learn their language.

The giant race is migrating north.

They use bone spears as weapons, and even women are brave warriors, and giants hunt bighorn deer and six-legged zebras, avoiding rhino-like giants and intimidating velociraptors and hyenas with their roars. The group of giants had only very rudimentary writing, and Stephen observed them for two days, and each time they returned from hunting, the shaman carved their harvest and casualties on an ancient stone tablet. The giants would collect a black-brown grass mixed with some metal powder as a potion, a black plaster that would quickly stop their bleeding, but it was not clear if it was a good potion or if they were physically strong.

Stephen Chow also collected a little of this herb and was sure that they had a good hemostatic effect.

The giants would rack up their prey and roast it, but there was a part of the tradition of eating it raw, digging out the hearts of bighorn deer and hexagonal zebras, and forcing the underage to eat and swallow them.

At this time, shamans perform strange dances around the bonfire.

On the whole, this group of giants is primitive, savage, and powerful, and according to the division of professions preserved from the Thurium era, adult giants are at least equivalent to level 7 warriors. However, they seem to be very afraid of the night, and whenever night comes, all the giants gather around the bonfire, and in the center is the shaman's tent of animal skins, who observes the purple rings and the moon light in the sky, and prays every night in front of the strange five-meter-high totem pole. They maintain the tradition of blood sacrifices, and each hunt will select the strongest prey to be placed in front of the totem pole, and a black stone with a diameter of three meters is the altar, into which the blood of the prey will seep in.

This is a typical primitive tribal characteristic.

Stephen wasn't much sure if he could communicate with them, there were people in many worlds, and their traditions were extremely primitive and barbaric.

Ultimately.

Stephen Chow decided to try to get in touch with them.

These giants rarely go it alone, hunting in teams of at least five, accompanied by strong female warriors who have seen Stephen tear a hyena the size of a gray wolf in half. They have a strange attachment to the heart, and the heart of any beast will be dug out by them for the underage little giants to eat raw.

Stephen Chow took a more conservative approach and didn't get too close to the giants, but let them find themselves first to see how the other person reacted.

Thereupon.

Stephen Chow, pretending to be a wilderness wanderer, appeared at the front of the Giants' migration route and began his first contact with the world's natives.
