Chapter 366: Chapter 354 Communication

"The master and the others must have been delayed by something. They will definitely return," Sizhi said, sounding half-convinced even to himself.

More than a hundred years ago, when the master and those who had left with her had not returned for twenty or thirty years, they realized the master might have encountered danger. From being worried and scared to trying many methods, they sent members of their clan to search for their whereabouts...

They ventured both underwater and on land, of course mainly focusing their search beneath the sea. Unfortunately, decades passed with no results, and instead, many of their members were lost to the bellies of fish. They still couldn’t find any news of their master.

In the past few years, as they watched the Elixir being consumed too rapidly and the hope of finding the master grew increasingly faint, they faced a crisis of having nowhere to go if they could not get more Elixir. That’s when they reluctantly gave up and stopped sending people out to search.

However, even so, the Elixir continued to be exhausted day by day, and it was clear they wouldn’t hold out for much longer...

"Don’t hesitate any more. Even for the sake of the children, we should take this risk. Send Tu Qi out to bring them in. If those people had ill intentions, Tu Qi wouldn’t have been able to return safely," Yaluo said with anxiety on her face, as she looked at Bo Ya, Dan Le, and Sizhi and brought it up once more.

"I agree," Bo Ya finally relented.

"I agree as well," Dan Le nodded in quick agreement.

"Then count me in too."

Since everyone agreed, it was pointless for him to object alone. Sizhi sighed and felt like there was nothing left to insist on, so he nodded too.

He gave a bitter smile to Yaluo and said, "Taking a gamble is fine. Their ability to come underwater shows they know that wearing those protective suits requires the support of the Elixir. If they do have bad intentions, the worst that can happen is we die, a few years earlier or later, what’s the difference?

Anyway, no matter what they say, we can’t agree to go ashore with them so easily. You too, don’t be deceived by a few words and agree to go. Once we’re on land, everything will be out of our hands."

"Don’t worry, I’m not that foolish. We’ll all go out and see for ourselves," Yaluo replied, standing up happily upon seeing the agreement of the three.

The four gave instructions to the children left in the room adjacent to the council hall, telling the older kids to take good care of the younger ones. After that, they slowly made their way towards the entrance.

It took them over ten minutes to walk the short distance.

At the entrance, the gathered Da’er Clan members were stunned by the decision of their elders.

However, even with doubt filling the eyes of everyone, no one dared to voice any opposition. Instead, they obediently retreated several steps.

"Go ahead, and be polite as you bring in our guests," Yaluo waved to Tu Qi.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Tu Qi bowed in a gesture unique to the Da’er Clan to the elders before putting on the protective suit that someone had specially delivered, the same one he had worn before.

At the entrance, Tu Qi looked back one last time, saw that the elders had no intention of changing their minds, and then, with hesitation, he opened the door...

"Shitou, that person is coming out again. Could it be that they’re inviting us in?" Lu Yun, who had been taking turns keeping an eye on the situation inside the "village" with Shitou, saw this and quickly tugged at Shitou, who was resting with his eyes closed.

Shitou opened his eyes and saw Tu Qi, swimming towards them reluctantly, inch by inch—despite seeming unwilling, he had no choice—and smiled at him out of politeness.

Shitou’s smile made Tu Qi stagger, causing him to take two steps back, nearly turning tail and fleeing.

Lu Yun, puzzled, looked back at Shitou’s expression, then curled her lips and said to Shitou, "This guy’s courage is even smaller than that of a fly, too easily frightened. Getting scared just by a smile."

Shitou tried to hold back his laughter.

Lu Yun sighed. She wanted to shake her head but was afraid that the mere action might scare the person before her away.

The little courage Tu Qi had mustered up was shattered by Shitou’s insincere smile that didn’t reach his eyes. Tu Qi trembled, taking two steps back before hesitantly stopping. He placed a hand on his lower abdomen and bowed to the two, making a gesture of invitation.

After the gesture, he advanced two steps forward, then, seeing that the two were following, he began to lead the way.

"Everyone disperse for now, return to your rooms and wait for news. If something really happens, Ba She will sound the alarm," Yaluo said to the crowd, who were still defensively clutching their weapons and staring at the entrance.

Her words were quite effective; the crowd quickly dispersed like a wave. At the entrance, only that day’s guards, Ba She, the four elder clanspeople, and Geyi, who sat on the high observation platform, remained.

Shitou and Lu Yun followed Tu Qi all the way in, noting how Tu Qi carefully guarded against them while opening the door. They exchanged a silent look and then turned away as if looking at something else.

This action reassured Tu Qi considerably.

Once they entered the village and removed their protective suits, Tu Qi rushed to the four elders and began whispering something, which seemed to relax the expressions of the few people present.

"Phew, we can finally communicate normally. What should we do with the clothes, put them away or hold onto them?" Lu Yun asked Shitou telepathically.

"Just put them away," Shitou replied without hesitation. If these people were alien life from a spaceship, the Space Stone wouldn’t be a secret to them. If not, he had no intention of making their existence known to the whole world. In any case, in a few decades or a century, the Space Stone wouldn’t be a secret on Earth anymore.

"Oh," Lu Yun responded, and they each removed their protective suits and stored them away. This action stunned everyone from the Da’er Clan present.

"You all have Psychic Power Talent?" Yaluo exclaimed in disbelief.

"Can’t understand a thing..." Lu Yun moaned. Shitou and Lu Yun exchanged looks, both seeing the helplessness in each other’s eyes.

Could it really be a language barrier?

Feeling frustrated, Lu Yun addressed Yaluo, who had spoken, in the interstellar common language, "Don’t you speak the interstellar common language?"

"...I’m sorry, we forgot to use the interstellar common language to communicate with you. May I ask who you are, esteemed guests, and how you came to possess our master’s protective suits and appear next to our master’s spaceship?"

Yaluo’s face turned red for a moment, then she asked in a stuttering interstellar common language.
