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

Chapter 437: The Golden Clan’s creation is unknowable?

Zama Island is covered by gray miasma all year round.

From above, the island's outline resembled a giant saddle, with tall vegetation peeking out from the mist, revealing dark green branches.

The scenery is most beautiful when the sun rises. The miasma-filled island is bathed in a hazy golden glow. In the woods, the Tyndall effect reveals points of light rising from the mist, the breath of the island's forest and its pulse.

Located in the southern center of the island, it is the island's center of power. It is the residence of the king of the Pokan tribe.

The Pokan people built their treehouses on large trees. They then hid them among the leaves. The treehouses were enormous, connected by the intertwining branches of the trees.

The air here is humid, the rainfall is heavy, fires are less likely to occur, and there are swamps everywhere, so tree houses are the best choice.

In the central tree house, the tall king, wearing a crown made of golden branches, sits on a white lion.

He had a beard and was in his thirties, but looked older than the Federation man. The lighting in the trees was much better than on the ground, and in the absence of electric lights, the weaker natural light and shadows outlined his facial features, which were as sharp as a knife or an axe.

He looks like a very dignified person.

The most eye-catching thing is his right eye, which is a golden prosthetic eye.

The emergence of modern technologies such as "artificial eyes" in a tribe that has abandoned wisdom and holiness always makes people feel a little disconnected.

"Wang, someone has landed on the island."

A voice sounded in front of King Pokan. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a warrior wearing animal skins.

King Pokan said nothing, seemingly waiting for the next message.

"That sinner is here too."

The warrior continued.

King Bokan's left eye narrowed slightly, and a cold light shone in his right golden eye.

After a while.

"King, what should we do?"

The reporting soldier said cautiously, "Wang was leaning against the beast behind him, with one hand on his chin, as if he was thinking."

"King, you can't sleep anymore."

The guard next to King Bokan stepped forward and pried open King Bokan's left eye with his index finger and thumb.

"Hmm?" King Pokan woke up from his sleep and glanced at the serious-looking guards and stern-faced warriors beside him.

He immediately ordered: "Oh, you are right, do as you say!"

Guards and Warriors: ······
Ten minutes later, King Pokan finally understood the whole story.

He scratched his head, feeling rather troubled. "Actually, Matthias didn't do anything wrong back then." Then he slumped down on his lap and said, "I have a solution. It doesn't involve fighting, and it can still solve the problem!"

The two people in the tree house listened eagerly.

Then, King Pokan said confidently, "Why not invite Matthias to be king?!"

The guard's eyes widened as he half-knelt at King Pokan's feet: "Be careful with your words, King!"

"Anyway, invite Matthias over and take good care of him." King Pokan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

After saying this, the guard gave the soldier a look, and the soldier pretended not to know. He left the tree house and walked lightly along the branches of the towering trees. In a blink of an eye, he arrived at a cemetery.

It is called the tomb forest because after people here die, they will choose to hollow out the tree trunks, put the deceased inside, and then cover them with bark.

The name of the deceased is engraved on each tree.

The soldier stopped in front of a big tree with the word "Kumado" carved on it. Judging from the appearance of the tree, it should be an old tree.

If Ikehira were here, he would probably choose to cut down the tree and count its growth rings.

"Respected Monk Kumado, the sinners of the tribe are about to return. I come to listen to your will." The warrior prayed in a low voice.

An old face appeared on the tree trunk.

"It's you," Kumado said. "Young king, have you come to seek guidance again?"

The warrior recounted what happened with King Bokan. Kumado's old face remained silent for a moment before he said, "The son of a sinner should not exist in this land."

The warrior lowered his head: "I know what to do."

------

Before Chi Ping set foot on this land, Aimug was on his diplomatic behalf.

"Be careful, this land is a little strange."

"What's strange?" Chi Ping asked.

"That's so cute." Aimu pressed her lips into a straight line. "To you, it's just cute."

After saying that, she turned around and jumped off the railing into the sea.

What a mess of shit, Chi Ping is a bit confused.

Most of the people on the cruise ship are non-combatants.

Chi Ping had no intention of bringing all of them to the island, even though Mu Jing had made sufficient preparations for them before they arrived, including the anti-miasma serum provided by Nuohan, gas masks, and various infrared equipment and weapons.

Of course, some heavy weapons are on the two frigates at the back.

Mu Jing might have allocated firepower to Chi Ping based on conquering the entire island.

"Sir Executioner." The person who stepped forward was a cruise ship security guard, a B-level esper. He had a team of sixteen under his command, all well-trained and combat-experienced special forces soldiers, all with escapabilities above C-level.

"Please let us clear the way for you," said the security captain.

"What's your name?" Chi Ping glanced at the guy, who was wearing a camouflage military uniform and holding a modified heavy sniper.

Ordinary people would have to prop a heavy sniper rifle on the ground to offset its immense recoil, but those with special abilities didn't need to, so heavy snipers became handheld weapons.

"Anqing." Captain Anqing said, "Mr. Huoba thinks highly of me and allowed me to participate in this operation."

Hearing Huoba's name, Chi Ping nodded: "Then you follow me."

Since Wei San and Le Bai were both on the two frigates, Chi Ping had to take this group of people to the island first.

"Please wait a moment." As soon as they got on the island, Anhua stopped Chi Ping and Matthias behind him, and finally brought a small stool for Chi Ping to sit on.

Then, two flamethrowers carrying fuel tanks appeared.

As the flamethrower was turned on, the ignited special fuel was sprayed onto the surrounding trees, and the entire forest was engulfed in flames.

"Air support." An Qing said into the walkie-talkie, and then he saw two armed helicopters flying out from the yacht.

Several missiles whizzed in from the helicopter, and the entire forest was cleared into a white area under the torrential rain of missiles.

"open circuit!"

Anqing gave another order, and the heavy machine guns mounted on the ground began to fire frantically. The heavy machine guns had a rate of fire of over 500 rounds per minute, and four of them on the island were more than enough to provide universal protection.

Matthias was stunned, and then felt a little sad.

"Master Executioner," An Qing said, squatting in front of Chi Ping. "Actually, there's no need for you to come in person. With just one command from you, we can show these barbarians the power of technology."

After hearing this, Chi Ping suddenly realized.

The world we live in is a world with modern technology.

I had been relying on my own strength to fight for a long time and was used to it. I completely forgot that the executioner has the same dignity as the executioner.

The surrounding animals fled in all directions, and everywhere you looked was devastation.

The group from Anqing seemed to want to open a path for Chi Ping to reach his destination directly.

The troops advanced in an orderly manner, and lives were lost in the sound of gunfire.

A cute little bear cub ran out of the woods in a panic and stumbled in front of Chi Ping. One of the team members wanted to shoot it, but Chi Ping stopped him.

The bear cub still had some baby fat, and his eyes were round and watery. He used his front paws to pull at Chi Ping's trouser legs and just tilted his head to look at Chi Ping.

Ikehira looked at it in the same way. Then, the little bear opened its mouth, and it opened it wide.

It was so big that it swallowed Chi Ping in one gulp, then ran away and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Anqing only had time to fire a few shots at the ground, and then there was no sign of the bear anymore.

In an instant, the gunshots around him quieted down.

The team members all looked at Anqing, and Anqing looked at Matthias. Matthias, a 400-pound fat man, was so panicked that he was stabbing his hands.

"Do you know where the 'capital' is?" Anqing asked Matthias.

Matthias nodded blankly, his whole fat face shaking in the firelight.

"Then let's attack the 'capital'!" An Qing said.

------

The bear cub was running wildly with Chi Ping in its mouth. Chi Ping could feel the muscles in its mouth moving, as if it wanted to swallow him.

Chi Ping used both hands to pry the bear's mouth open.

But the next second, the vines in the forest came alive and tied up the bear cub tightly!

Immediately afterwards, countless sharp thorns from dead branches pierced the bear cub, with most of the thorns concentrated in its mouth.

Then, a huge gap appeared in the ground, trapping the bear cub in the middle and crushing it.

At this point, it’s not over yet.

More magma erupted from the cracks in the ground. The moment the bear cub's body came into contact with the magma, it burst into flames and then melted into the magma.

In a blink of an eye, multiple attacks came one after another, trying to pierce, crush, and burn Chi Ping to death!
After the bear cub completely disappeared, an old human face appeared on a big tree nearby.

"Have the sinners finally been eliminated?"

Kumado said.

Then he heard a voice behind him.

"You old chic, quite something."

Chi Ping sat on a wooden block, crossed his legs, and looked at Kumado with a faint smile on his face.

"Who are you?!"

Kumado was stunned, and a vivid expression of horror appeared on his old face made of tree bark.

In his eyes, it was the little bear who first caught Matthias, then pierced, crushed, and burned him to death.

When he set foot on this land, Chi Ping activated the [Oracle]. In the eyes of the creatures on the island, Chi Ping was Matthias.

"Who are you?" Chi Ping reached out to touch the tree where Kumado was. It felt hard and cold, no different from any other tree.

"Where is that sinner?" Kumado asked, and countless vines attacked Chi Ping again.

Seeing Chi Ping being wrapped like a dumpling again, and then pierced and burned!
After completing the whole process, Kumado looked at the traces on the ground and looked around in confusion.

"You people—" Chi Ping's voice rang out in Kumado's ears again: "Why do you always like to do useless things?"

Kumado was startled and immediately wanted to move from one tree to another.

Then, Ikehira snapped his fingers.

The spatial stagnation of [Space Traveler].

Although Kumado's face was made of tree bark, Chi Ping could see that he was trying hard and exerting force, and then panic gradually spread across his face.

Like the process of ink blending, slow and comprehensive.

"You, you, you--" He said "you" many times in a row. Perhaps he himself had never thought that he would have to experience the feeling of danger again after death.

He didn't know what would happen if he died again.

But he didn't want to try again.

His transfer ability, which had always worked, failed at this moment.

Panic was like a spider web, instantly filling my heart.

"Who are you?" he asked tremblingly.

"Look." Chi Ping spread his hands: "You haven't figured out the current situation yet."

He walked around the tree a few steps, then took hold of it with both hands and twisted it in a circle. Chi Ping uprooted the tree, breaking many of its roots before turning Kumado's face towards him.

"Now, I'm asking you, not you asking me." Chi Ping flicked his finger and flicked a small insect off the tree. This action frightened Kumado so much that his face changed and the bark turned pale.

"I ask, you answer, any objections?" Chi Ping asked.

"You ask, I answer, no problem." Kumado said.

"Okay!" Chi Ping said, "What's the situation with this island, or this ship?"

When Kumado heard Chi Ping say "ship", his face obviously changed again and became a little darker.

"It seems you know." Chi Ping smiled, then inserted his entire palm into the wood below.

"This island." Kumado's voice trembled. "It is a technological creation of the ancient Golden Tribe. It is a ship disguised as an island."

Well, it turns out that the Pokan people live a barbaric life despite using advanced technology.

"continue."

"When the ancient Golden Tribe perished, they abducted humans to this island, allowing outstanding members of the tribe to have children with ordinary people, thus continuing the race."

"How do you know?" Chi Ping asked. According to Matthias, only the king could know.

"I am the dead." Kumado said, "This island not only imprisons the living, but also the dead.

"People who die on the island will have their consciousness transformed into a spirit body, which can travel throughout the island. In other words, it can enter the ship."

Chi Ping nodded. "And then? Do you know the reason why the Golden Tribe was destroyed?"

Kumaduo said: "Although their records are very obscure, I can guess a little.

"The Golden Tribe is a race favored by Heaven. They created a brilliant civilization, and their technological level has reached unprecedented heights.

“But when all their wishes are fulfilled and they are no longer troubled by material things, their hearts begin to feel empty.

"Since then, they have begun to engage in promiscuity, depravity, and the use of hallucinogenic drugs. In order to cheer up the tribe, the leader of the Golden Tribe decided to...

"Create a god!"

Chi Ping frowned slightly. He had come across many S-rank people who claimed to be gods, but their endings were usually not good.

Then, I heard Kumaduo continue:

“Rumor has it that the Supreme God (unknowable) created the Golden Clan using his own form as a model;
"The Golden Clan, feeling extremely empty, tried to reverse the process, hoping to deduce the form of God through themselves, and thus create God!

“As a result, this action angered God.

"God, sent down divine punishment, destroying the once-prosperous Golden Clan."

Hearing this, Chi Ping was stunned for a moment.

Wow, the Golden Clan is trying to create the unknowable?

My mother gave birth to me, and I gave birth to my mother in return?

On the contrary, it belongs to Tiangang.

"So they failed to create a god?" Chi Ping asked.

"No, they succeeded, but not completely."
