Chapter 456 - Dark Wizard (1/2)

Micha squinted his eyes and extended his neck to peek out a bit more. He was an archer and had many eye-techniques that helped him see further, see better at longer distances etc, so he was able to get a much clearer picture than most of the others.

”Is that...them?” he asked skeptically. They were still at least a kilometer away but were moving unusually fast and would reach them in less than 2-3 minutes.

To Micha, the scenes were as clear as day.

The 'caravan' was made up of the natives of this planet. Physically, they all looked more or less the same as normal human beings from the Beast World with some minor differences like a darker skin, sturdier and taller physiques etc.

If brought back to the beast world, none of these people would ever stand out in a crowd with the amount of diversity that was usually found there.

At the front of the caravan was an old man sitting on top of a fat animal that looked to be a mix of Camels and Oxes from earth. It had dark skin, two giant humps on its back between which the old man was sitting patiently with closed eyes and a rather long neck.

All in all, it was about 6 meters in width and 3 meters in height. Its fat legs moved quickly and uniformly with each step being the exact same distance as the last. It was actually quite mesmerizing to look at.

Behind them were many men and women walking on foot with a few carriages being pulled by different beasts. It looked completely ordinary.

”Yes, it's them,” Dai Zhi nodded without taking looking up at them. He was tightening up his jacket and pants so they stuck to him like an extra layer of skin.

Still confused, Micha decided to ask again, despite his better judgment.

”But, aren't those just the natives of this world? Are they working with the outer tribe?”

Aer and Nel both smiled upon hearing the question but didn't respond. Dai Zhi didn't answer straight away either. He finished 'prepping up' before looking up at the caravan once again.

”You have only been here for a few hours so you wouldn't know this but, this world and its culture is quite primitive. Men are in charge of everything while women are considered to be weak and in most cases, lesser beings. But look there,” he gestured towards the caravan with his chin and Micha looked over.

”Men and women are standing together, with weapons none the less. Look at their bodies, they are well developed and seem to have gone through many battles. Look at how they move, those are seasoned fighters. But how is that possible? It could be that this group is just very progressive but that's highly unlikely.”

Micha's brows knit together in confusion, ”But still, that doesn't mean-” before he could finish a blue crystal fell into his palm.
