Chapter 264: Sang Family Village

The people marched quickly ahead, one of them carrying the reinvolt over his shoulder. Everyone was quiet, thinking about the massive thing that was flying slowly behind, following them.

It was a mech. Sang Ling recognized it. The Sang Family Village’s shrine had seven mechs on display, but they were ancient compared to this mech. In fact, the comparison was not an exaggeration. The seven mechs had been passed down for a few generations, known by every member of the Sang family.

”Mechs really could fly …” Sang Ling took a peek at Han Jia, flying above, her eyes filled with envy. In the legends, mechs could fly, but today she had finally seen it for the first time. The techniques to fly the seven mechs in the shrine had been long lost. They were now only a symbol of the courage and determination of their ancestors.

Sang Ling quickly lost her initial excitement. She began to worry about Sang Fan’s injuries. As childhood friends, she and Sang Fan were the most famous pair in the village. Sang Fan and her were both the most capable and outstanding of their generation.

It was this guy’s fault! Sang Ling could not help but stared angrily at Han Jia. The dagger had blood from the three-eyed giant squid, it was no wonder that the reinvolt suddenly turned crazy. Just a tiny bit of the three-eyed giant squid’s scent could trigger the reinvolt’s fear due to its sensitive sense of smell.

However, if the mech had not interfered, Sang Fan would have … Sang Lin shuddered. Besides, the guy had even offered medical supplies. With that offer of assistance, they really could not blame him now. His medicine was truly miraculous. Just by swallowing a tiny pill, Sang Fan’s breathing steadied. While he was unconscious now, his situation seemed a lot better.

What a powerful mech! Sang Ling was impressed. The mech had injured a three-eyed giant squid. Before she met this mech, she never thought that anything could ever hurt that giant beast.

Ye Chong sat in the pilot cabin, his face calm. Inside, however, he was not nearly so peaceful.

These primitives spoke the same language as him, and communication was not a problem. Could this be part of the Five Galaxies? That was Ye Chong’s first guess. Could the primitives be part of some savage tribe? That thought was quickly dismissed by Ye Chong.

If there was really such a strange place in the Five Galaxies, it would have been discovered.

From the primitives, he learned that they came from a place called the Shang Family Village. The term ”village” was unfamiliar to Ye Chong. He imagined it to be some kind of city.

The other party was cautious against Ye Chong, and did not speak much. Ye Chong accepted this easily. If it were him, he would be even more cautious. At first, Ye Chong thought they came from some savage tribe, but they had all recognized mechs. That surprised him very much.

Nevertheless, their clothing and weapons felt very primitive to Ye Chong.

The two parties did not exchange many words. According to the woman in the group, any questions can be directed to the village head.

Village head? What an peculiar title.

Ye Chong quickly noticed something interesting - the group practiced strict discipline. They worked together seamlessly, delegating tasks in reasonable ways. This reminded Ye Chong of an army troop! They were very much like the Sanctuary’s standard combat squad.

This made Ye Chong suspect even more that they came from a savage tribal society.

Ye Chong was intrigued by their physique. The seven-meter tall reinvolt was heavy, but the man heaving the prey seemed quite relaxed, and did not fall behind.

Finally, they reached the Sang Family Village. The village was much smaller than Ye Chong imagined. The entire village was surrounded by a six-meter tall fence, probably to ward against animal attacks. However, if a mech were to attack this village, it would only be too easy.

There were no anti air attack measures, no field interference facilities, no long range attack weapons. Ye Chong made a quick assessment of the village. His conclusion was this - if he wanted to escape, they would not be able to stop him. This made Ye Chong feel safer. While they were of the same species, and communication was not an issue, Ye Chong still dared not be careless.

Han Jia’s simple scanning system was now quite handy.

There were about 100,000 inhabitants here. Ye Chong shook his head. This city was too small. In the Five Galaxies, any city would be home to at least a few million. Everything here was primitive, the exact image of a savage tribal society.

The return of Sang Ling and others created a slight commotion. Sang Fan’s injury had everyone busy. However, he was soon sent to a tiny purple coloured straw hut. Just as the people were about to disperse, they finally noticed Han Jia.

”A mech, it’s really a mech ..” A villager muttered incoherently.

”It’s truly a mech …” Similar utterances were heard in the crowd, all filled with wonder.

Han Jia was now surrounded by a dense crowd.

When Ye Chong came out of Han Jia, the village suddenly fall into a short silence.

When Ye Chong withdrew Han Jia with its dimension keystone, everyone was shocked. The sight of a huge machine suddenly vanishing made quite an impression.

Ye Chong quickly found himself stuck in the middle of the crowd, unable to leave.

”Make way, make way please.” A path quickly formed amongst the crowd. In came an old man, supported by Sang Ling, as he slowly approached Ye Chong.

”Cough, cough, young man, how do you do? I’m the village head, Sang De.” The village head coughed twice before finally speaking slowly.

Ye Chong was always respectful towards the elderly. He bowed slightly and replied, ”Village Head, how do you do? I’m a mech pilot and I’ve lost my way. I hope to have your assistance.”

Sang De nodded, and spoke to his people, ”Go back to your own businesses now.” The village head was heeded. Everyone left, and only some children were left hiding in a corner, watching them.
