C393 It Was Better to be a Book than a Book

1In the command center, a group of shrimp people gathered in front of a huge stone table, looking at the clearly intelligent creature's figure in the three-dimensional projection, dumbfounded.     1

    

Although this intelligent creature was a bit shorter, it also looked a bit dazed. It only had two legs. It didn't even have a shell on its body. There was only a hand on his arm that looked like a hoof but had a grappling structure. It wasn't a sharp thorn, but it was indeed an intelligent creature.    

    

The shrimp people had been in Galaxy for a long time. Of course, they knew how difficult it was to find a suitable planet to live on. If there were still some native intelligent species on this planet, it would be even more difficult.    

    

Not to mention the other things displayed on the 3D projection...    

    

Looking at the corpses all over the place, the prawns gathered in front of the stone table couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the tall figure wearing the Commander uniform.    

    

At that time, they didn't have any other meaning in agreeing with God Father's words. They just wanted to make the other party not too awkward, although their level of civilization had long separated them from the stage of superstitious. God Father had also personally expressed that he indeed didn't know anything about this, but they still had respect for him after all. Moreover, even if it was only in terms of military rank, he was also their boss, so how could they make their commander feel down?    

    

But now it seemed that... He really didn't understand at all?    

    

It could be counted as luck if he guessed that there were intelligent creatures, and if he guessed correctly, there would be an attack. It could be counted as putting himself in danger, but why did he emphasize at that time that he had to remember something like self-counterattacking, which was almost equivalent to common sense? And you even emphasized on those native creatures?    

    

This...    

    

The cautious shrimp people immediately excluded the vague concept of foresight. The civilization was already relatively perfect, and they were more accustomed to thinking about problems in a rational way. However, reason could not explain why his arrangement was so accurate. In the end, the shrimp people could only believe that his usual behavior was hiding his weakness. In fact, he, who had lived for an unknown period of time, must have had some understanding of this aspect a long time ago.    

    

But why did he hide his true strength from his people?    

    

The shrimp people in the command center looked at each other at the same time.    

    

They all thought of some secrets within the military.    

    

It was really... Sigh.    

    

The shrimp people helplessly lowered their heads.    

    

The mistakes made by the ancestors of the ancient era actually still had an effect even now...    

    

"What? Is the discussion over?"    

    

Du Kang, who was standing at the side, could not help but draw his appendages.    

    

"The discussion is over." A shrimp man woke up and quickly nodded. "These two intelligent creatures are not suitable to be taken in as servants in the army."    

    

"Huh?"    

    

Du Kang was stunned for a moment.    

    

This was the result of the discussion after half a day?    

    

"These two races are too weak." Some shrimp people rationally analyzed, "Galaxy is very dangerous, and they are not qualified to be the servants of the army. They can't learn Path of Runes, so they can't help at all. "    

    

Too weak...    

    

Du Kang nodded helplessly.    

    

What the shrimp people said was indeed reasonable. For these shrimp people, rather than investing large amounts of resources to educate these native creatures, they might as well incubate some new recruits.    

    

"Then forget it."    

    

Du Kang waved his limbs.    

    

"Let Exploration Team do some surveying and then withdraw. The rest of the development work will be done. Find a way to negotiate with the governmental organization on this planet. "    

    

"Yes, God Father."    

    

The shrimp people nodded.    

    

It was not like the prawns had never traded with other races in Galaxy. They understood this kind of negotiation.    

    

But... how should they communicate?    

    

————————    

    

On the pale green planet, inside the ring-shaped valley.    

    

The prawns of the Exploration Team surrounded the newly discovered intelligent creature. One and two of them had a distressed look on their faces.    

    

After hanging up the communication, they still didn't know that their plan had been terminated. In fact, they were worried about something else.    

    

This intelligent creature's physical fitness was not bad, and it hadn't suffered any fatal injuries, so it was just a scare. It would soon wake up.    

    

But...    

    

How should they communicate?    

    

"Can he understand our language?" A shrimp man gestured with his arms, "It shouldn't be a problem..."    

    

"No problem my ass." Some shrimp people refuted helplessly, "No matter how fast you row your limbs, I won't be able to understand... Why don't we write? Ah, no, he doesn't know how to write either. Do you want to draw? "    

    

" Drawing isn't really good. " A shrimp man shook his head. "What if he doesn't understand what we're drawing?"    

    

"This... Why don't we try to teach him our language?" A shrimp man gave a more reliable suggestion. "Let's try it first. If not, we can change to another method."    

    

"Teach him our language..." Another shrimp person thought for a moment, "He only has two legs and no shell on his body. He also looks different from us. There are many words that can't be expressed, how can we teach him?"    

    

"This... We can only take one step at a time."    

    

Some shrimp people helplessly moved their appendages for nothing.    

    

"It's better to have a way than nothing."    

    

————————    

    

Tewa Territory, Floating City.    

    

"Father!"    

    

The young man named Pukasan saw a few figures flying over from afar and quickly flapped his wings to welcome them.    

    

"You are back... What happened to you?"    

    

Seeing Archduke Tepisan's gloomy face, Pukasan was so scared that he almost fell down from the sky.    

    

This was the first time he had seen his father show such a terrifying expression.    

    

Besides, the number of warriors who came back was much less than the number of warriors who had left.    

    

In other words...    

    

Pukasan's body was trembling.    

    

His father actually lost?    

    

He lost to a group of lowly terrestrial species?    

    

How could it be...    

    

"Get down!"    

    

Archduke Tepisan flapped his wings and sent Pukasan flying to the side. After that, he flew towards the palace.    

    

Archduke Tepisan carefully took out the magic book that he had spent a lot of money to get and closed his eyes.    

    

He had paid a huge price for this battle. If he did not replenish his strength immediately, the Sky Hunting Falcon family would die in his hands. He knew very well how many nobles were waiting for him to fall, so that he could settle the score with the Sky Hunting Falcon family.    

    

Fortunately, he had prepared a method in advance. Although it was already too late to learn the knowledge in the magic books now, there was still a trace of life left in him.    

    

Suppressing his fear, Archduke Tepisan flipped open the book in his hand.    

    

"Consume blood to eat, doubling every day. Repeating like this, one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers are delicious..."    

    

Archduke Tepisan silently recited the contents of the book, but in his heart, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.    

    

What was a heavenly soldier?    

    

————————    

    

In a small airship shaped like a shuttle.    

    

"Marshal Guo, what's going on?"    

    

The tall ape pointed at the words on the book in its hand with a puzzled expression.    

    

"This is the method used by the Bull Demon King to move the mountain. How could it be written in Wu Zhiqi's' White Ape Concealment '? Wouldn't something happen if we were to be practiced by our comrades? "    

    

"This..."    

    

The monkey called Marshal Guo scratched his head awkwardly.    

    

"I was a little tired from raising funds a while ago. I was not in a good mood. I copied it wrongly."    

    

"How about we change it now..."    

    

"There's no need to change it."    

    

The monkey called Marshal Guo shook his head.    

    

"I will make another copy for my comrades. As for this book... "    

    

"Find an opportunity to sell it."    

    

Request for leave.    

    

At 39.5 degrees, his brain had stopped working. After staring at the screen for a long time, he couldn't write a single word. So he rested for a day.    

    

Simply put, he had a cold, not to mention today. The two debts he owed would be paid back within seven days. It doesn't mean that I'll pay them back the day after tomorrow because I can't guarantee that I'll recover tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.    

    

In the end, I still couldn't keep up with all my hard work, and I can't help but sigh.    

    

A bowl of Du Kang's bowl.
