Chapter 345: Aborigines
Constance's face gradually became difficult to see, and the quantum repeater did not receive a communication response, which means that the three teams that landed before were likely to have been sacrificed.
For Space Marines, power armor is almost life-threatening.
In the event that the armor is destroyed and even the built-in communication terminal is damaged, the chances of the Space Marine himself surviving are low.
These three squads are all elite members of the Firmament Sword, all of them are cultivators above the rank of military general, a total of thirty-six people, and now they are lost on the Xuanhuang Star, which is a huge loss for the entire Firmament Sword Battle Group. You must know that the interstellar warlords of the Sword of the Sky have never been fully staffed, and there are currently less than two thousand!
In addition to the interstellar generals, those scientific researchers with weaker combat effectiveness also have no news, and I am afraid they are also poisoned.
Constance had a calm face, the task given to her by the general was to search and rescue her comrades, in the current situation, she didn't know what the point was of landing on her own?
Xuanhuang Star is full of dangers, and the fighters of himself and others have been shot down, and it is too difficult to get rid of the gravitational pull of Xuanhuang Star and return to space with only power armor. Only she and Xin Lin can reach the escape speed of Xuanhuang Star with the acceleration of cultivation, and the others have little hope.
Not to mention, the energy creatures hidden in the clouds will never let their group leave safely.
This mission may turn into a big pit, not only failing to save his comrades, but also burying all the people who landed on Xuanhuang Star!
The interstellar generals present were aware of their difficult situation and fell silent.
Constance did not give up hope, and said to Xin Lian: "Put away the repeater first, and then take it out every two hours, maybe you can still receive a signal." ”
"Okay." Xin Xiao nodded slightly, and took two steps forward to let Ao Qing put the repeater into the dimensional space.
Her gaze fell on Xin Lin and asked, "The original plan was for us to act separately after landing, but now it seems that my mission cannot be completed, so I can only go with you." Where are you going to start? ”
Xin Lin turned his head to look at the primeval forest around the clearing, his eyes fell into the depths of the forest, a smile appeared on his face, and he replied: "I originally wanted to communicate with those energy creatures, but with a better goal, there is something peeping at us seven thousand meters to the northeast, it should be the natives on the Xuanhuang Star." ”
"Huh?" Constance was taken aback when he heard this, "Indigenous races? When did you find out? ”
In the information collected before, there was never any mention of the existence of an indigenous race in Xuanhuangxing. This situation is not uncommon in the universe, not all ecological planets can breed intelligent races, it will take a long time to evolve, and even if there is, it may perish before it is discovered by interstellar civilizations.
Therefore, the Federation mistakenly believed that there were no aborigines on Xuanhuang Star, and they did not particularly care about this.
"I just found out when they arrived." Xin Silent said half-truthfully, in fact, he had already noticed the traces of these intelligent creatures, but he just observed secretly, and did not startle the snakes.
These sapient beings are few in number, only six, and look like a hunting party.
They are humanoid creatures with flexible limbs, move in a standing position, are very tall, averaging about two meters four, with a slender body, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and an inverted triangular structure on the upper body. They are smooth and hairless, with pale gray skin and light blue stripes on their bodies.
It can be seen from some notable sexual characteristics that this race is also divided into men and women, covering only vital parts with animal skins, men covering their waists, and women with an extra belt around their chests.
Their facial features are similar to those of terrestrial humans, with slightly larger heads, a broad, flat nose, long, thin lips, cat-like almond-shaped eyes, round and large, erect pupils, and apparently excellent eyesight, able to see far and much more.
In addition, this race, both male and female, has a long tail behind them that helps them maintain their body balance when moving.
Xin Lin noticed that there were power fluctuations in the bodies of these six people, but this kind of power was quite special, neither the Force, nor the telekinesis, nor the attributes, and it was concentrated in the center of their eyebrows.
Between the eyebrows of each creature, there is a looming symbol, exuding energy fluctuations.
These symbols are a bit like hieroglyphs and like special signs, each one is different, and the only thing in common is that the symbol connects the stripes on their body as a source or center point of strength throughout the body.
With a little observation, Xin Xiao could deduce that the civilization of this race was still very backward.
They were poorly clothed, with only a small amount of braided material on their women, and their weapons were mainly bows and arrows, and they used bone-polished blades in melee combat, apparently not yet able to master metal smelting. In addition to their own strength, these intelligent creatures also tamed wild beasts as mounts, tigers, leopards, eagles, etc., some ran on the ground and some flew in the sky, the degree of taming was extremely high, and they all lay quietly under the trees at the moment without making any sound.
This is a very primitive hunting team, at this moment they are all quietly lying on top of a towering tree, using grass and trees as a disguise, looking at the Federation from a distance, with a frightened and curious look in their eyes, unaware that they have been discovered.
Constance took to the skies and searched in the direction that Xin Lin had said, and under the armored scanners, the indigenous races were immediately discovered.
"Catch them."
Without the slightest hesitation, Constance immediately gave the order.
The starfighters roared and took off, their engine armor spewing flames towards the towering tree. The team automatically divides into three parts and outflanks them from both sides at the same time, forming a siege network.
Seeing the movement here, the six natives immediately realized that they had been discovered, and they screamed in fright, jumped nimbly from the tree and fell onto their mounts, and fled quickly through the forest. One of the mounts, a giant eagle with a wingspan of nearly ten meters, flew low above the forest, its owner watching his pursuers backwards on his back and loudly alerting his companions.
They are very agile in their movements, walking on the ground in the forest, and can reach speeds of sixty or seventy kilometers per hour, but for the speed of power armor, they are as slow as snails.
In less than a minute, the interstellar warriors on both sides overtook them and went around to the front to block the way.
They shouted to rush over, several interstellar warfighters raised their blasters and shot at them, and in the boom, a large number of trees fell to form a blank space, and the ground was blasted out of a large crater several meters deep, and broken wood and rocks flew all over the sky in the explosion, such a terrifying power immediately frightened them, screamed non-stop, and hurriedly controlled the mount to turn around.
However, the interstellar warlords have formed an encirclement, and there is no way to escape in all directions, in the sky and on the ground.
The six natives all looked desperate, and the interstellar warlords contracted the encirclement, and finally pinned them down into a clearing in the forest, leaning back to back on each other, their faces pale, and even the mounts under them felt frightened, and they couldn't stop trembling.
The interstellar warriors stopped a hundred meters away, blocked the entire space, and did not speak, a silver-black armor refracted a cold and hard brilliance under the light of the Xuanhuang Star, which was both mysterious and terrifying.
Xin Lin and Constance were left behind, and the two entered the encirclement and immediately attracted their attention.
Constance observed the natives, visibly aware of their strange powers, and hung in the air without saying a word, not knowing what to think.
Xin Lin had already swept these natives telepathically, and he knew their forms very well, as if he was stepping on an invisible step, stepping down from mid-air to the front.
This scene caused the six natives' pupils to contract, realizing the power of the black monster in front of them.
......The native riding the giant eagle was obviously the leader of the team, his stature was even taller, and the power fluctuations in his body were stronger, and he maintained a considerable composure, taking the initiative to speak to Xin Lone.
However, Xin Lin couldn't understand a word.
He was about to use teleportation to communicate with the other party, when the giant eagle that the leader sat down seemed to be stimulated by Constance's Force breath, and suddenly lost control and swooped down on the nearest Xin Silence.
Several natives screamed in fright, trying to pacify the giant eagle but were half a beat slower.
Xin Si didn't move, but a soft snort came from under the armor, and the giant eagle was like a lightning strike, frozen in mid-air, unable to even move a feather, like a wood carving. The native leader sitting on its back was horrified, and reached out to slap the giant eagle's body, but there was no response, as if it were dead.
He understood that this was Xin Lone's terrifying method, and anxiously spoke to Xin Lone, even if he couldn't understand it, he could guess that he was pleading for mercy.
Xin Silence untied the magnet net, and the giant eagle resumed its movements, but it no longer dared to be presumptuous, and shrank behind the other mounts with a wail, burying its head under its wings, and trembling all over.
The indigenous leader breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Xin Lin again and again, gesturing with his hands and feet.
However, no matter what he said, the people of the Federation could not understand and could not communicate. Constance next to him frowned and asked in the armored channel: "The language barrier, is there a way for you to be silent?" Otherwise, it is enough to use violent means, anyway, just a few indigenous people, and force them to point out the direction of the settlement. ”
"I'll take care of it." Xin Lin shook his head to stop Constance.
Violent means can indeed solve some problems, as long as you kill a random native, extract memories with the singularity star core, he can immediately grasp the language of this intelligent creature and get the information he wants.
However, Xin Lin didn't want to do that.
As Constance said, the lives of the natives don't matter, even if they kill all these people, it's fine, but he doesn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, especially if he doesn't violate his own interests, he takes the initiative to erase a life with intelligence, this is his bottom line.
And he has a better solution to achieve the same effect without killing.
Xin Lin sent a heart-to-heart wave to the indigenous leader, "What's your name?" This voice, which sounded directly in his head and could understand its meaning, suddenly made the eyes of the indigenous leader widen, and his face was full of irrepressible surprise.
