Chapter 488: 455, Blue Sky Tribe, the only inhabitants of Solomon Island
Charles used Fars Language to say, "This female blue giant asked us to put down our weapons and follow them."
Andreas shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do they think we would be afraid of those bows and arrows?"
Unless they were Transcendent bows and arrows, the power of regular bows and arrows was not even comparable to standard firearms; let alone facing Sacred level, even ordinary Transcendents could use energy shields to block the incoming arrows.
The female blue giant, very annoyed, shot an arrow that landed at the feet of the group, the warning was very clear.
Charles could be ruthless with monsters, but he was not so murderous towards intelligent beings, especially since these blue giants were clearly not warlike, having come to search only because they intruded their territory.
Of course, he did not hold much hope for the civilization level of these blue giants.
Charles loudly said in Sherlock Language, "We are just adventurers passing by, with no hostile intentions. It is impossible to put down our weapons, but we are willing to engage in friendly exchanges."
The female blue giant did not expect Charles to speak their language and said, "This is our territory, outsiders are not welcome."
Charles smiled slightly and said, "You must be in need of external resources on the island, such as weapons!"
"We are willing to give you a batch of weapons made of metal in exchange for the status of guests."
Although these blue giants had bows and arrows, they were merely ordinary branches bent and tied with a string, very weak in force, and the arrows used were rough, not even having iron tips, just sharpened hard sticks of wood.
They also had some spears, some of which had metal tips, but they were all rust-spotted, clearly having been handed down for a long time.
This was a tribe that although had cultural inheritance, must be quite isolated from civilization!
Charles's words slightly moved these blue giants. He drew out Blood Rose, shook it casually, and chopped a small tree nearby into sixteen or seventeen segments; such swordsmanship would be considered great master level even in a martial arts world.
Of course, what made these group of blue giants envious was not his transcendental swordsmanship, but the sharpness of Blood Rose.
The female blue giant said, "If you are willing to give us five metal weapons, we will treat you as our guests."
Charles smiled slightly, vaguely opened his left hand, and summoned a Magic Mirror. He took out five rapiers from it and casually threw them to the female blue giant.
These blue giants, being quite naive, quickly considered Charles and his group as friends after receiving the ordinary rapiers. The female blue giant, unable to let go of one rapier, handed the remaining four to those around her and said, "My name is Xinglyna! I am the daughter of the chieftain of the Blue Sky Tribe. We are the only residents of Solomon Island, and it's been a long time since outsiders have come here."
"I represent the Blue Sky Tribe and welcome you!"
"You are guests of the Blue Sky Tribe."
Agon is a Beastman, Gareth had almost forgotten everything, but Andreas was a proper noble young master who had also spent time at Black Phoenix University. Although not particularly fluent in Sherlock Language, he could manage a few sentences. He spoke loudly, "We just encountered an attack by some kind of monster, do you know what they are?"
A look of worry and panic immediately appeared on Xinglyna's face as she exclaimed, "Those are Ling demons!"
"We must hurry back to the tribe; we won't fear them there."
Andreas really wanted to say, even if they didn't visit any tribe, they were not afraid of the Ling demons.
But Charles smiled slightly and said, "Sure! We'll go with you."
These blue giants were quite amiable, and after receiving gifts, they never mentioned again that they should give up their weapons. Moreover, Charles Meklen and the other three did not actually carry noticeable weapons on their bodies; everyone had their own way of storing weapons, and none were fully armed. Charles himself was merely holding a Withing Rose alchemy handgun, and no one knew he had hidden at least ten more weapons on him, even capable of opening the Infinite Mirror Realm to retrieve more stashed weapons.
The other three Sacred level characters, even Charles did not know how many weapons they carried.
Even Agon might have a Sacred level Dragon Hammer on him!
Xinjilinya hurried along the path while saying, "Ling demons are terrifying creatures on the island, each one equating a Transcendent, and they can also mimic our appearance to transform into one of us."
"Fortunately, in our Blue Sky Tribe, we've developed some methods over the years to distinguish Ling demons, otherwise they would constantly try to transform into us and infiltrate our tribe."
Charles was quite surprised and asked, "These Ling demons can transform? How intelligent are they?"
Xinjilinya answered, "In their native form, Ling demons are ferocious and extremely irritable; they cannot communicate, but once they turn into our people, their behavior and actions are almost indistinguishable from ours."
"They must possess quite high intelligence…"
Charles pondered for a moment, thinking, "Why does it sound…"
"These blue giants and Ling demons are not much different?"
"If Ling demons turn into their form, would they be indistinguishable? Wouldn't that make them…identical?"
Charles asked, "How do you distinguish Ling demons who have transformed into your likeness?"
Xinjilinya replied, "They have no gender!"
Charles glanced at the group of blue giants and suddenly thought of an inappropriate detail, musing, "Ling demons cannot change gender, probably because they've never seen…"
"Maybe if they had seen it, they could change to be the same."
"Too bad I didn't bring a few exotic movies when I crossed over. Otherwise, showing those to the Ling demons might add a group of highly respected teachers to this world!"
Charles and his group followed the blue giants, running for over an hour, until they saw a gigantic tree. The trunk of this tree was at least ten acres large, and many aerial roots grew from its branches, planting into the ground and making the tree look like an opened canopy.
Under this gigantic tree, there were about a few hundred blue giants, even including about a dozen children. However, these blue children were almost as tall as ordinary robust human men; they were agile and leapt through the great tree like nimble monkeys, almost as if they had just mastered the Quickness Technique.
When these children saw Xinjilinya and others return, they all came to greet them, and upon seeing Charles and the new outsiders, they showed curious eyes.
Charles immediately pulled out more than a dozen Magnum Hand Shuttles from the Magic Mirror, distributed them to these children, gifted each a box of bullets, and taught them how to load and shoot.
Once they arrived under the great tree with Xinjilinya, they had already become acquainted with these dozen or so blue children.
