You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 305 Night Owl Girl
"Who are you?

"Which tribe?"

The Flame Ghost asked this because, from their perspective, the World United Government was the only one with monsters. Since they saw a human, they were likely from a certain tribe.

Ikehira heard him say the term "tribe," and then saw the attire of Basang, Engui, and the others.

After searching the language, [Ruins Traveler] quickly identified that they were speaking the language of a mythological civilization.

Now that the other party's identity has been confirmed, the next thing is much simpler. It is nothing more than establishing initial trust and then obtaining intelligence.

"The Duck Tribe, Raoul."

Ikehira spoke in a familiar manner. During the whole process, Yan Gui kept squinting at Ikehira, and the suspicion in his eyes reflected the firelight.

The Yufu tribe was what Chi Ping saw on the stone tablet in the ruins of the mythological civilization.

The tribe is good at controlling water, and the fish-duck is a bird that catches fish.

The Great Emperor came from the Wing Tribe. When the Wing Tribe was first established, it was known as the Sea and Sky Wing Tribe, claiming to control the waters and the sky. Therefore, it was also called the Sea and Sky Wing Tribe.

Yufu is a branch that has continuously separated from the Haitian Wing, and originally belonged to the "Hai" department.

Some separated tribes gradually disappeared after the catastrophe, and the tribes of mythological civilization had poor integration and were far less tight than the World United Government.

So the two words "Yu Fu" are not easy for ordinary people to know. But those in the know have heard of them more or less, and they feel a sense of déjà vu when they mention them.

Chi Ping knew that his next question would definitely be about the internal affairs of the tribe, or who the chief or prophet was.

So, Chi Ping said in advance:
“I left the tribe before the catastrophe and practiced on my own.

“After I came out, I found that the world had changed. I was worried about my tribe, so I was rushing back.

"Are you all from the tribe? Do you know what the Yufu tribe is like now?"

"Yes—" The sturdy tribal man was about to speak when he was slapped on the back of his head by Basang, who then said to Chi Ping:

"It's all pretty good."

Chi Ping knew immediately that this person was still very wary, and asking further questions would only arouse his vigilance. However, Chi Ping had another trick up his sleeve, but he wasn't sure if it would work.

He had seen the Great Emperor's projection in the mythical ruins. He could use the [Oracle] to recreate the Great Emperor's heroic presence, though without the actual power.

I don't know if I can scare them. Chi Ping has used this divine descent thing once in the ruins of Vistana civilization, and it worked pretty well.

Generally, when a god appears, people below will basically bow down and worship him.

While I was thinking, a shrill howl was heard in the night sky. It was a night owl.

The deformed night owl was enormous, with a wingspan of nearly ten meters, but its torso appeared thin. Its sharp claws, however, were striking, glistening metallically in the darkness.

The sound seemed to be coming from not far away. It must have been attracted by the fire.

The sturdy man next to Basang immediately stood up upon seeing this.

"I'll go clean it up."

After saying that, he jumped into the darkness.

Basang was obviously quite confident in the sturdy man. After the man said goodbye, he took out some dried meat and bread from his dry food bag and roasted them by the fire, without worrying about the sturdy man's condition at all.

After a while, the dried meat and the flatbread softened. Basang, not being a stingy person, took the initiative to share some with Chi Ping.

Chi Ping pinched the pancake and was about to put the dried meat into his mouth when he suddenly thought of something and paused.

He asked, "What kind of meat is this?"

"Monster meat." Basang answered without thinking.

Chi Ping silently put the dried meat back to the fire and just chewed the bread.

The people of the tribe have always been frugal and they would not waste any edible meat, let alone during a period of great disaster when resources are scarce.

But the problem is that the monsters in their eyes are actually human beings!

How could Chi Ping accept this?

It's not just the tribes; even the World United Government is trying to incorporate monster meat into the public's diet. This world truly has a Hannibal Lecter per capita.

After finishing a pancake, the sturdy man still hadn't returned. Chi Ping wondered if he was in danger.

"Would you like to go take a look?"

Ikehira asked tentatively.

"No need!" As if afraid of losing the tribe's prestige in front of strangers, Basang said directly: "The warriors of the tribe can deal with this beast."

Before he could finish his words, Ikehira heard a scream.

Then, Chi Ping saw another dark face in the firelight. It was Yan Gui. His fingers had already dug into the dough.

"I'll go take a look." said the slender man, then stood up and ran towards where the sturdy man had gone.

"Don't worry, it will be alright this time." Basang said modestly, "They kill these deformed beasts all the time."

No one answered him. Chi Ping just stared at the flames. Yan Gui's face turned even uglier. It was embarrassing that two people were needed to deal with such a night owl.

The bonfire burned Chi Ping's face, and crackling sounds were heard in the orange-red flames.

A long time passed, and the slender man did not come back.

Chi Ping glanced at Basang, then turned his gaze to Yan Gui. Yan Gui felt that Chi Ping's gaze was more burning than the bonfire in front of him.

Finally, this time it was Basang who couldn't bear it anymore.

"I go."

Basang stood up, and the swaying bonfire made Samba's shadow look extremely tall.

Yan Gui didn't say anything, and Basang left.

Now, only Chi Ping and Engui were left by the campfire, and the situation suddenly became awkward.

Chi Ping stirred the firewood in the flames to make them burn brighter. Nearby, a row of uneaten dried meat and flatbreads lay, originally meant for Basang and the other two, but they hadn't returned yet.

Chi Ping pinched the dough with his hands and said, "If you don't come soon, it will dry out and won't taste good."

These words were like a slap in the face, neither too hard nor too soft. It didn't hurt, but it was very humiliating.

"He will be back soon. Basang is an excellent warrior of the tribe." said Yan Gui.

But before he finished speaking, a voice came from the darkness:
"Ah! Damn it!"

Obviously, it was Basang's voice.

If the previous one was just a light slap, this one was a direct and powerful blow.

Yan Gui's expression finally wore off. Without a word, he stood up and walked into the darkness. His face was so gloomy that it looked like water could drip out of it.

However, Yan Gui did not come back for a long time.

You know, the Flame Ghost is extremely dangerous!

What kind of situation is it that makes even the Flame Ghost feel so difficult?
Just as Chi Ping was about to go take a look himself, a huge burst of flames erupted from the darkness, illuminating the entire village like daylight.

The Flame Ghost is enlarged?
The flames went out and reignited, appearing and disappearing repeatedly.

There was also the rage of the Flame Ghost:
"Die!"

"asshole!"

"Are you provoking God's servants?!"

Words like these made Chi Ping even more curious about what was going on over there.

After a while, Chi Ping saw a night owl with its body burned by flames falling towards him from the sky!
However, this night owl was extremely large, with a wingspan of thirty or forty meters, and there were flames on the ends of its tail and wings.

Just like that, he crashed straight into Chi Ping!
