The besieged purple leopard Mutant Beast was covered in more and more wounds. Although it had no single critical injury, the nurous minor cuts were adding up. Their cumulative effect was just as severe as a major wound.
A mont later.
"ROAR..." A shrill roar escaped the purple leopard Mutant Beast’s mouth. Gradually, its presence weakened until there were no signs of life left.
’Sigh, it took them so long, but those three finally took care of that Mutant Beast.’ Hiding in the tall grass, Lin Li watched through his binoculars as the three Indigenous People finally finished off the Mutant Beast.
Moreover, he saw expressions of relief on all three of their faces as they began to chat happily.
Although Lin Li didn’t have superhuman hearing and couldn’t make out their conversation, he could easily guess what the three Indigenous People were talking about. ’This Mutant Beast was so tough! We finally took it down,’ or sothing along those lines.
’What should I do now? Should I go up and try to make contact with these three Indigenous People?’
Hiding in the grass, Lin Li noticed that after killing the purple leopard Mutant Beast, the three Indigenous People didn’t start processing the carcass. Instead, they sat right down to rest where they were.
’Even though I look pretty similar to them, we’re from two different worlds. The language barrier is almost a certainty. If I go and approach them, I won’t be able to communicate properly.’
’Maybe I should just wait and see what they do next. It would be best if I could secretly follow them and find one of this world’s human settlents. Then I can slowly familiarize myself with this world.’
After thinking it over, Lin Li decided not to make contact with the three Indigenous People from this world for now. Instead, he would first try to follow them to find one of their settlents and then figure out his next move.

WHOOSH...
RUSTLE RUSTLE RUSTLE...
The sun shone brightly on the open plains. An occasional breeze drifted by, causing the flowers, grass, and trees to sway gently, making a soft rustling sound.
CHIRP, CHIRP, CHIRP...
A few ordinary birds streaked across the sky, letting out a string of crisp chirps before descending to the ground to forage for food.
’What are these three up to?’
Fifteen minutes had passed since the three Indigenous People had hunted down the purple leopard Mutant Beast. In all that ti, they hadn’t started processing their kill, nor had they made any move to leave.
This left Lin Li, who had been planning to secretly follow them to find a human settlent, feeling very confused. He had no idea what these three Indigenous People were thinking.
Observing them through his binoculars, Lin Li noticed their unusual behavior.
The three Indigenous People who had killed the purple leopard Mutant Beast were sitting on the grass, chatting with relaxed and carefree expressions.
The young woman, who had shown the most skill earlier, took a dallion forged from so unknown material out of her pocket.
As the three chatted, they would glance at the dallion of unknown material from ti to ti.
’How strange. Why do they keep glancing at that dallion?’
Lin Li had been squatting in the tall grass for nearly half an hour, and his feet were starting to go numb.
Just as he was about to sit down, he saw through his binoculars that the dallion the three Indigenous People kept glancing at had suddenly begun to glow with a faint golden Spiritual Light.
The mont the dallion of unknown material began to glow with a faint golden Spiritual Light, the three Indigenous People, who had been sitting on the grass chatting carefreely, imdiately showed excited expressions.
Imdiately after, the three of them scrambled to their feet and all looked in the sa direction.
They were looking east, toward the rising sun.
Utterly bewildered, Lin Li had no idea what these three Indigenous People were doing, but he knew the mystery would soon be solved.
And just as Lin Li thought, he didn’t have to wait long.
About three minutes after the dallion began to glow with a faint golden Spiritual Light, the reason for the Indigenous People’s string of baffling actions was revealed.
A small black dot suddenly appeared in the azure sky, far off on the horizon.
It grew larger as it drew nearer, and in just a few monts, the small black dot on the horizon revealed its full form.
’Holy crap, a Tower Ship... a flying Tower Ship?!!!’
Hiding in the grass, Lin Li stared, dumbfounded, at the giant Tower Ship flying in from the horizon.
A Tower Ship was a type of warship used by ancient navies, so nad because its tall, wide structure resembled a storied building.
Normal Tower Ships sailed on water. But this one—a giant, seventy to eighty ters long, twenty-five or twenty-six ters wide, and perhaps sixteen or seventeen ters high, with ornate carvings and a majestic aura—could actually fly.
What’s more, its flight speed was not the least bit slow, completely exceeding Lin Li’s imagination.
Lin Li had originally thought this unknown Otherworld would be a backward place, but the appearance of this giant, flying Tower Ship completely shattered his understanding.
The technology behind this giant Tower Ship alone, if brought to Blue Star, would be beyond the imagination of even the various nations’ Spiritual Energy Research Institutes that specialized in combining Spiritual Energy and technology.
When the giant Tower Ship flew to a position about twenty-odd ters in front of the three Indigenous People, it began to slowly descend from an altitude of several hundred ters.
WHOOSH...
As the giant Tower Ship descended from the sky and landed steadily on the grassy plain, it generated a powerful gust of wind that blew in all directions, forcing all the surrounding vegetation to bend low.
"The ship’s here. Let’s go," the young woman said to her two companions, turning to look at them after the giant Tower Ship ca to a complete stop.
"Yeah." The heavy-set man and the thin man both nodded. "Man, the trial is finally over. We’ve really been through hell these past three days."
As they spoke, the heavy-set and thin n turned and walked over to the carcass of the purple leopard Mutant Beast that the three of them had killed together.
One grabbed the front legs of the purple leopard Mutant Beast’s carcass, and the other grabbed the hind legs. Working together, they lifted it and hurried to catch up with the young woman, who was already walking toward the giant Tower Ship.
’There are so many people on this ship! At least two hundred of them! A Tower Ship like this would be considered a large vessel even on Blue Star.’
Hiding in the grass and observing the distant scene through his binoculars, Lin Li could see many young n and won standing on the deck of the giant, flying Tower Ship. He estimated there were at least two hundred people.
He also noted that the people on the deck were about the sa age as the trio who had worked together to kill the purple leopard Mutant Beast.
