Chapter 2, Primitive

This is the girl he saw before falling into a coma, with two thick and long braids, the ends tied with colorful ribbons, adorned with a few animal teeth as decoration. Her skin appeared slightly rough, and beneath the wheat-colored layer flowed an astonishing wildness and strength

However, the fleeting illusion has drained all the strength he had painstakingly accumulated, and now it is extremely difficult for him to even lift a finger, let alone retaliate or escape

The young girl was also enraged and exclaimed: "Gray Eagle, you are not qualified to command me! I am determined to take him back, and your disagreement is of no consequence. Flying Arrow, are you standing with him or with me?"

Even though he is currently in an extremely weakened state, as long as he can move, anything in his hands will become a deadly weapon

Yao walked over, set up the Yellow Springs, and said: "I will carry you, remember to hold on tight, otherwise you will fall down."

However, the matter at hand is clearly much more difficult than hunting. He wore a troubled expression, tugging at his head full of braids, and said, "Yao, what will happen if the three of us separate and encounter a cannibal hunting party? Moreover, with him in tow, we won't even be able to escape."

The first man said coldly: "Perhaps some of the cannibals have become smarter? Even if he has no connection to the cannibals, what use is such a weakling? He would only increase our danger. You have already saved his life, that is enough; I do not agree to take him with us"

He slowly propped himself up, positioning himself for better leverage, and then asked: "Was it you who saved me?"

As soon as she stepped out, she poked her head back in, revealing a mischievous smile, and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about you being knocked out."

The superhuman strength of the Imperial Guard originates from the Holy Radiance Stone. This is the Empire's highest secret, and even as a member of the imperial family, he only truly encountered the Holy Radiance Stone when he became the candidate captain of the Dragon Knight Corps

The brilliance in his memory seems to have penetrated through ten thousand years of time, illuminating his being. This light is like fire, scorching every part of his body inside and out, even igniting his consciousness and soul

She spoke in a hurried and rapid manner, completely不给他 an opportunity to interject, and then rushed out like the wind

One of the men frowned and said, "This guy is so weak; having him with us will only be a burden."

Certainly, compared to the Dragon Rider Corps and even the members of the imperial family who have cultivated secret techniques since childhood, and have strengthened their bodies and awakened their innate abilities with vast resources, it falls far short

To her surprise, upon hearing his words, the young girl immediately jumped up in joy and exclaimed, "You can speak our language! I told them you couldn't possibly be a cannibal, but they didn't believe me. Hmph, let's see what they say now! By the way, your clothing is quite strange; which sanctuary do you belong to? I've never seen such attire before. Alright, you lie down for now, and I will go get you something to eat."

The young girl's face flushed red as she said, "Gray Eagle, if you continue to speak nonsense, I will definitely tell my uncle when I return! You left him here, and he will surely die at the hands of the cannibals. He is also a tribesman who spoke the same words as us, how can you be so heartless?"

His memory involuntarily returned to the moment he first laid eyes on the Holy Radiance Stone. Before him stood an immensely grand palace, as two colossal doors, each reaching a height of one hundred meters, slowly opened.

If these young girls were merely ordinary uncivilized tribespeople, it would be acceptable; however, how could typical tribespeople possess such strength and agility as hers, as well as the ability to see through his disguise

He asked whether the original intention of this sentence was to distract the girl, preventing her from realizing that he was attempting to enter an offensive state. As long as he was within an appropriate range, he was confident that he could subdue or even kill the girl with a single strike

Another person remarked: "He has an unknown origin, and his attire is quite peculiar; I have never seen similar garments in any community. His appearance at this time is most likely that of a ghoul's spy"

In Age of Empires, the people of the Ruins are mysterious and powerful, possessing various extraordinary abilities. Even an ordinary member among them has the strength to overpower the imperial guards.

As the final trump card of the imperial army, Huangquan was still dispatched to the distant desolate star domain to investigate the clues of the relic people amidst the outbreak of border warfare. The empire's emphasis on this can be seen from this.

Fei Jian scratched his head, glanced at the gray eagle, and said: "Throw him down, he will definitely die. Let's leave together; we cannot stay here for long"

The indescribable pain caused even him, whose will was as hard as iron, to let out a groan, curling up into a ball and falling to the floor with a thud.

He steadied his mind, slowly sat up, leaned against the wall, and took deep and shallow breaths. His entire skeletal structure continuously collided with itself, generating special shockwaves to activate the vital energy deep within his body and organs

What came into view was a delicate yet slightly immature little face, with large eyes filled with joy. His gaze shifted, appearing somewhat bewildered, yet in reality, he had quietly observed her entire being.

But what do the people of the ruins actually look like, and what is the source of their power? For hundreds of years, no one has been able to provide a clear answer, as the true people of the ruins have never been captured.

In order to seek the source of power of the people of the ruins, the empire invested vast amounts of manpower and resources over the course of a hundred years, even slowing its pace of expansion.

This reminded him of a word that had been buried deep in his memory for ten thousand years: the People of the Ruins

The young girl has two short knives hanging from her waist, one long and one short. The shorter one is about the size of a dagger, while the longer one is no more than half a meter. A belt is tied around her right leg, on which several throwing knives are inserted

The girl argued, "It is impossible; he will speak our words."

From this point, a rough picture of the underworld can be outlined: a young girl leaps through the jungle with the grace of flight, relying on her innate strength and agility to capture prey. The tribe she belongs to is quite primitive and backward, still depending on cold weapons for combat, with little sign of large-scale industry.

The Gray Eagle said coldly: "No, we cannot bring him back to the camp! What if he attracts the ogres?"

This exclamation nearly startled Huang Quan into jumping up, not only because she inexplicably understood her words, but also because her disguise was seen through at a glance

The Stone of Holy Radiance

However, based on the memory from the moment before the coma, if it was she who pulled herself out of the collapsing area at a critical moment, then her strength and speed would be quite remarkable, comparable to that of the Imperial Guard soldiers who have undergone rigorous selection.

"What is wrong with you?" The girl who had come and gone exclaimed, hurriedly helping him up and placing him back on the bed, somewhat reproachfully saying, "You just woke up and were about to rest well, why are you moving around?"

The gray eagle snorted and shot a fierce glare at Huangquan, saying: "I hope our adventure will be worthwhile"

She is dressed in lightweight hunting attire, consisting of a short jacket and shorts made from animal hide, which allows for good mobility in the jungle environment. The upper garment is adorned with two metal plates at the chest, suggesting that they are also used as armor.

The Empire suspects that the power of the people of the ruins also comes from the Holy Radiance Stone

The young girl coldly said: "Then you two can go ahead!"

He felt a jolt in his heart and almost leaped up to take action. However, the distance between his position and the door was still considerable, and the girl was clearly impulsive; after speaking, she ran off without giving him a chance to act

The figure is slender and elongated, with long arms and legs, and carries a large and a small bow on its back. It is evident that it must be very agile in the forest, making it an exceptional hunter

The man, with a sullen expression, said: "Are you interested in him?"

Huang Quan wanted to refuse, but the girl directly carried him on her back, her strength so great that refusal was simply not an option

The girl suddenly jumped in front of the bed, blocking Huang Quan's path, and said: "He will not be a burden! I will take care of him, and if there are dangers on the way, I will protect him, no need for you all!"

Two men emerged behind the young girl, dressed in hunting attire of the same style as hers, looking quite formidable

The voice of the girl pulled his consciousness back from the illusion to reality; it turned out that the fiery light was merely a mirage

Fortunately, he possessed extraordinary composure; the more perilous the situation, the calmer he became. He discerned that there was no malice in the other person's voice, and it even seemed to contain a hint of surprise. Thus, he slowly opened his eyes and gradually turned his head to look in the direction of the voice.

However, when the memory reached this moment, what emerged from the gap of the giant door was not the Holy Radiant Stone, but light, indescribable light
