That woman was actually the one who had originally wanted to take Long Chen away with him. Later, Long Chen understood that she must have realized that Long Chen was an enemy of those aliens—enemies of enemies are friends, so she came to notify him to leave.
It was only when Long Chen fell into the spatial rift that he understood that those alien races must be mortal enemies of these beings, willing to destroy their own territory and invite the spatial rift into the rift than surrender.
That woman must have seen through the trick and notified Long Chen to leave. But those aliens hated Long Chen to death and immediately launched a self-destruction to kill him.
"You... Awaken... Is that so? The woman looked at Long Chen, a hint of joy appearing on her face. She actually started speaking, no longer in a chattering manner, but in something Long Chen could understand.
However, her tone was very stiff, her pronunciation very strange, and her questions were not what a normal person would ask.
"Thank you. Was it you who saved me?" Long Chen guessed that this woman must be learning human language on the spot, which is why it sounded so strange. Afraid she wouldn't understand, Long Chen gestured as he spoke.
The woman looked at Long Chen, clearly trying to understand what he was saying. After a moment, she shook her head: "You... ship ... "Falling down...
The woman imitated Long Chen, gesturing and explaining, implying that Long Chen had fallen from the ghost ship and that they had found him.
Communicating like this was really exhausting. Long Chen hesitated for a moment, then reached out and slowly approached her forehead. The woman was stunned and slightly stepped back, but seeing Long Chen signal her not to move, she hesitated and finally let him press his finger against her forehead.
Long Chen's soul power slowly circulated into the woman's sea of consciousness. He discovered that her soul power was actually very weak; if judged by human realm, she hadn't even reached the Innate Realm.
Long Chen slowly sent a soul imprint into the woman's sea of consciousness. Her body trembled slightly, and a look of pain appeared on her face.
That soul imprint was Long Chen sending the linguistic memories of the Tianwu Continent deep into her soul, allowing her to communicate normally with him. However, whether it was because her soul power was too weak or because the laws here were different, the imprint should have been done easily, but it caused her some pain.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a figure rushed in, throwing a punch at Long Chen while shouting loudly.
"Smack!"
Long Chen reached out to block, but felt intense pain in his body—he was actually punched off the bed. What shocked him most was that he wasn't wearing any clothes at all, and the animal hide slipped off his body. Startled, he quickly reached out to grab the hide and cover the vital parts.
The man was a burly man. He punched Long Chen over. Seeing Long Chen bare, he grew even angrier. He drew his longbow behind him, and the arrow shot like a full moon, aiming at Long Chen.
"Kaali!"
At that moment, the woman suddenly shouted and stopped the man. The man was instantly furious, pointing at Long Chen and roaring nonstop.
The woman glanced at Long Chen, seemingly trying to explain something, but the man remained furious. He stomped his foot and turned to leave.
Only then did Long Chen realize that the place he was was actually inside a fur tent. Judging by the surrounding furnishings and arrangements, it was very likely a woman's residence. Judging by the man's angry shout, it was probably this woman's "boudoir."
However, this boudoir was a bit too simple, with nothing decent, making it feel like they were living a very primitive life.
"I'm sorry, Ravi was too reckless. I'm truly sorry." The woman spoke. After merging with Long Chen's soul imprint, her speech became normal. Her voice was a bit rough, but it sounded quite good.
"Is he your fiancé?" Long Chen asked curiously.
The woman nodded.
Long Chen shook his head: "He's pretty good-tempered. If it were me, my fiancée would have hidden a naked man. I would have killed that man long ago." Long
Chen slowly stood up, but found himself dizzy and nearly fell. Only then did he realize he was extremely weak. The woman reached out to help him, but Long Chen refused, which was truly inconvenient.
"What's going on?" Long Chen transmitted a message to Dragonbone Xie Yue.
"You have been eroded by the ghost ship's power of time. That ghost ship has drifted through endless years in the river of time, weaving through the cracks of the world, tainted by the power of endless years.
At that time, you were holding the ghost ship's chains, your mind starting to become foggy, refusing to resist the power of time. That was you—if it were anyone else, you would have turned to ashes long ago.
No one can resist the erosion of time; it is your chaotic space that bears the weight of the erosion for you. Otherwise, in just one breath, you would become an elderly man.
Even so, your body has suffered severe damage. However, you have already awakened, and it won't be long before you recover. "Dragonbone Evil Moon transmitted his voice.
Only then did Long Chen recall the scene when he held the chains. Back then, it was as if he were dreaming, seeing countless scenes within the dream—perhaps all of those images were real.
Ghost ships have always been a mysterious entity; no one has ever been able to figure them out, nor do they know where they came from or where they are going.
"What a pity, I couldn't go up and take a look." Long Chen said with some regret.
At that time, Long Chen had broken through the spatial barrier three times in a row, exhausting all his strength. If he had been in perfect condition, he might have been able to climb onto the ghost ship.
"Miss, could I ask you to come out for a moment? I'll change into some clothes." Long Chen said a bit embarrassedly.
The woman's face flushed slightly, then she left the room. Only Long Chen was left in the room. Only then did Long Chen examine his body and find his skin covered in cracks, as if he had been cut into a thousand pieces. The wounds hadn't healed yet, and with even a slight movement, blood began to seep out.
"Time is like a blade; on the wound, there is actually a strange power attached." Long Chen checked the wound and found it was healing, but it was very slow. He had moved a bit earlier, and blood spilled out, staining half his body red.
Long Chen changed his clothes, tidied his messy hair, and began to channel the life force within the chaotic space to heal himself.
When the life force surged into Long Chen's body, it resonated with the life force within him, rapidly nourishing his body.
The trees in the chaotic space withered in an instant, all their life force drained by Long Chen, yet only half of his injuries were healed.
Long Chen couldn't help but shake his head. The trees in the chaotic space needed to be replaced; they could no longer meet his needs. These wounds were only superficial and couldn't heal, and if they were other serious injuries, the effect would be even negligible.
However, Long Chen had never discovered a powerful life tree species. Most of his vitality now came from the Yin-Yang Immortal Herbs around the Black Earth.
However, the vitality of the Yin-Yang Immortal Herb should not be extracted in too much, or it will disrupt its balance and damage its origin. If the source is damaged, it may wither and die.
After moving his body a bit, feeling he could only do simple activities and couldn't fight, Long Chen stepped out of the tent and found himself now in a tribe.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Qili, the daughter of the Luoling Clan chief. Thank you very much for helping us defeat the Demon Assassin Clan. Your great kindness and kindness will always be remembered."
When Long Chen walked out, the woman suddenly knelt on one knee with great seriousness, placed her right hand on her chest, and performed a strange and peculiar gesture.
"You are too kind, sir."
Long Chen hurriedly reached out to help her up: "To be honest, I didn't mean to help you. Those guys wanted to kill me, and I fought them to protect myself."
If I should thank you, I should thank you. Thank you for risking your life to inform me. By the way, I want to ask, where did you find me? Long
Chen didn't want to dwell on this topic and asked Qili how she found him.
Qili told Long Chen that when Long Chen was sucked into the spatial rift, they were all very sad, thinking Long Chen could never survive.
They were cleaning up the battlefield, checking for any surviving Thorn Demons, but after just a short while, a large ship flew out from a spatial rift, and then they saw Long Chen fall from the void.
However, Long Chen was covered in blood at the time and had already passed out. She brought him back.
Long Chen felt awkward as he listened. Could it be that this woman cleaned his wounds? But he couldn't bring himself to ask such a question.
"Come on, I'll take you to see my father." The woman made a gesture inviting him to leave. Long Chen nodded and followed her forward.
Along the way, Long Chen observed an extremely open plain, stretching hundreds of miles around, filled with tents. Tents varied in size and color, all made from animal hides, looking very simple and ancient.
It was like an ancient tribe, where people passing by wore animal skins and carried longbows. Behind the tribe was a lush forest stretching endlessly. Strangely, the tribe was built right beside the forest.
Following Qili forward, many people bowed to her in a manner of ancient etiquette. But when they looked at Long Chen, they were filled with curiosity. Yet, beneath their curious eyes was a trace of unease, as if they were very wary of Long Chen.
"Why aren't there any children here?" Long Chen asked curiously. In such a large tribe, not a single child could be seen.
"Our young clan members are still training in the forest; only adult clan members are qualified to leave the forest." Qili explained,
"Actually, this is the forward line of our Luoling Clan. We and the Demon Assassin Clan are natural enemies, fighting each other for hundreds of thousands of years.
This time, the Demon Stingers launched a surprise attack on us but were stopped by us, suffering heavy casualties. In a fit of rage, they opened the altar and prepared ample sacrifices to offer to the Demon King in exchange for his support.
Because we can summon hundreds or thousands of monsters, we're no match for them. We were all prepared to retreat into the forest and use the terrain to fight them to the death, but unexpectedly, you ruined us.
If it weren't for you, our Luoling Clan would have been forced to defend passively. Even if we succeeded, the casualties would have been severe. So, you truly are our benefactor. My father will surely thank you. Qili
was deeply grateful to Long Chen. Long Chen hadn't expected such a coincidence. As the two were walking forward, suddenly thousands of Luoling Clan experts appeared ahead.
They drew their longbows, arrows pointed at Long Chen, their eyes filled with murderous intent. Among the crowd, Long Chen spotted Qili's fiancé.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "It seems your clan isn't that welcoming to me!" "
