Already countless people regret not learning Eastern Country Language, but who could have imagined that the Alien would actually use Eastern Country Language to communicate with them?
Even movies wouldn’t dare to portray such a scene!
After Tao De spoke, there was a long silence without any response from the other side.
Even Villard couldn’t help but hold his breath.
In such a situation, any slight reaction from the other side would make them overthink!
It was the first time Villard felt this sense of "diplomacy of a weak nation".
In contrast, Tao De appeared much more composed, maintaining his posture of salutation.
After a while, a slow voice finally came from the front.
"Let’s say that when you meet the Captain; I don’t have the authority to represent the Wogte to accept your welcome." Although it was a calm tone, Tao De and Villard could both perceive a sense of indifference from it.
The one in front of them, just a crew member of this spaceship called "Wogte"?
Since they mentioned "Captain", it indicates that there is a clear hierarchy and a ruler on this ship!
Tao De and Villard exchanged a glance.
They were unsure if this was good news or bad news for Blue Star, for humanity.
Because dealing with a collective compared to an individual inherently involves more uncertainties; to put it inappropriately, if their technological capabilities are terrifying to a certain extent, even a Captain could possess a status equivalent to an Emperor on Blue Star!
They could influence billions of people based on personal preferences!
Tao De and Villard became increasingly cautious.
Their bodies, inadvertently propelled, were slowly flying towards the other side; behind them was also a vast pale white light curtain.
The "alien emissary" with obvious differences from humans seemed somewhat reticent, standing in front of everyone, back facing them, without any intention to speak again, making Tao De and Villard a bit disappointed, but they dared not say much.
Until they crossed the light curtain.
A passageway that was not particularly narrow lay before them.
Almost as wide as a three-lane road, with semi-transparent doors on both sides, clearly leading to rooms, Tao De glanced carefully and his heart tightened.
Because behind those "doors" were evidently many active lives!
Most importantly, even with just a glance, he could clearly see that the shape and appearance of those lives were not the same as this alien in front of them!
Does this ship have more than one alien race?
Or, do alien civilizations extend beyond one?
Tao De began to feel a sense of alarm, as did Villard, because they could understand what this meant!
It meant that in the vast, yet unknown Cosmos, there could very possibly be a massive Interstellar Society containing countless races and civilizations!
Humanity would step into this society in an extremely vulnerable state.
If this is truly the case...
They could only hope that this Interstellar Society has an order based on peace, otherwise, for the weaker humanity, it would be hell!
Because even if one civilization is benevolent to humanity, not all civilizations might be, and as long as one civilization holds malice towards humanity and acts upon it, it would be a tremendous disaster for humanity!
"Are these the natives of this planet?"
A voice suddenly interrupted the thoughts of Tao De and Villard, and everyone looked ahead simultaneously.
It was an alien creature standing in front of a "door".
Completely different from what they saw before, its lower half had eight tentacle-like limbs, its upper body lacked hands, had only an elongated, backward-arched head without visible eyes, just a circular, continually wriggling oral cavity, revealing rows of sharp, gruesome teeth inside.
Now this is the "sinister and ugly alien style" like in films!
"Tsk tsk." The sinister-looking alien uttered a low, dark voice, "Looks quite delicious."
A long snake-like tongue extended from its mouth, dripping with green mucus, lightly flicking it.
Some timid members of the human team shuddered violently.
Even Tao De and Villard instantly felt stiff all over.
Although they couldn’t see where this alien’s eyes were, they seemed to sense a moist, greedy gaze sweeping over them.
As if the worst-case scenario had already appeared!
But just as their spirits were sinking into the abyss, the Guide with the white-skinned figure ahead said in a deep voice, "Priestley, stop teasing them."
"What’s the big deal, Hengyu."
The sensation of being stared at receded like a tide, and the alien being called Priestley wiggled several tentacles, laughing:
"Look at their reaction, so cute, how long has it been since we’ve seen such genuine natives, I bet they absolutely believed it just now."
Those who couldn’t understand Eastern Country Language still tried to maintain a smiling posture, but it felt strained.
Even if they couldn’t understand, they could still sense the mockery in the tone.
And those who understood could only remain completely silent.
Even Villard, inherently arrogant in nature, could only slightly clench his fists and still had to force a smile at this moment.
Breathing a sigh of relief, they also realized.
The Aliens... seemed somewhat different from what humans imagined, their words and actions seemed quite similar to humans.
But precisely because of this... it was even more dangerous!
One could only say, humanity knows humanity best!
"Priestley!" The Guide called Hengyu lowered his voice slightly, yet carried a certain chill, "Do I need to remind you, who the last ’natives’ you saw were?"
This sentence seemed to suddenly clutch Priestley’s throat.
Tao De and others clearly saw the tentacles that were constantly flailing suddenly tremble sharply.
Then they fell to the ground as if completely losing strength.
"Well... my work isn’t finished yet."
The alien creature that was just mocking Tao De and others could no longer say a word, slinking back behind its door.
"Pay no mind to him." Only then did Hengyu turn his head, watching Tao De and others with those eyes also like White Jade, saying, "Val People have a consistently savage nature, holding malice toward all life other than themselves, not specifically against you, and on this ship, all they can do is joke around."
