365: News of Dynasty Civilization

Chen Du's series of actions made Chen Hean, who was lying on the ground, realize that the other party had planned this long ago and wasn't simply here to kill him, as he had claimed.

The problem is this.

It seems I might not die today.

As Chen Hean thought of this, his originally panicked heart gradually calmed down.

"Kid."

"I can overlook you killing these people, but if you still want to kill me, I advise you to give up."

"My brother Chen Heping and I have a telepathic connection. If I die, he will know immediately and will hunt you down."

"I admit you are very powerful, more powerful than I imagined. Although I haven't seen a Genius from a Great Civilization, I suppose you are at most like them."

"But it's impossible for you to defeat Chen Heping; he is different from me, he is a true Sky Soaring Warrior."

"I am not threatening you, nor do I need to lie to you."

"I say this for the safety of both sides. I imagine you wouldn't want to be hunted down by a Sky Soaring Warrior, would you?"

"I can answer your upcoming questions, and the secret treasure heart I promised you before, I will still give it to you. In fact, I can tell you now, it's in the Storage Ring on my left hand."

"Inside are 3,000 secret relics, 1,000 more than I previously mentioned. You can take them all."

"As long as we don't bother each other in the future, that's fine."

Telepathic connection?

Chen Du's expression remained unchanged. He mentally reviewed all the information he had previously seen about the Big Ear Civilization. They shouldn't have such an ability.

So, this is most likely the old man's strategy to save his life.

However, this is good. It would be troublesome if he wasn't afraid of death.

Moreover, even if the other party truly had a trick up his sleeve, Chen Du would still kill him. His final method of killing him was to feed him to the Egg God. Could he really be found?

Could a Sky Soaring Warrior even reverse time?

Besides, Chen Du also had abilities like the Concealment Necklace and Alien. If he still didn't dare to kill with these backup plans, then he was destined not to be able to bear the banner of a High Martial Civilization in the future.

"I had the same intention."

Chen Du smiled.

"The reason I left you alone was also for this."

"As for them, I found them an eyesore, so I killed them casually."

Chen Hean's expression moved, as if expressing agreement.

The Thought Wave Needles were different from War Stomp; they weren't specifically designed to immobilize people. Those pierced could speak and make some expressions, but only to that extent.

"Regarding the way back, how many paths do you know?"

This wasn't Chen Du's most pressing question, but he would eventually have to return, so he asked it first.

Chen Du mainly wanted to ask four questions.

First, the way back.

Second, the very heavy iron block he found in the Big Ear Civilization's lair.

Third, the book suspected to record the Big Ear Civilization's history.

Fourth, matters concerning the Egg God.

Originally, what Chen Du most wanted to know was the fourth, but Cao Daba had already provided that answer. Although it wasn't completely thorough, it was certainly more complete than what Chen Hean knew.

Chen Du was more concerned about the second. As for the way back, that was something he absolutely needed to know; there was no question of caring or not caring.

The third was optional, something to ask about if convenient.

"I know a total of 12 paths, which do not include the path our Big Ear Civilization used to come here, because it has already collapsed."

"Ten of the 12 paths connect to civilizations that trade with the Underground Alien Race here. For various reasons, we have never gone up."

"They don't know the specific situation of the Underground and don't dare to go deep, so both sides trade in a designated place between the Surface and the Underground."

"Fortunately, everyone has selfish motives, which has formed a subtle 'peace'."

"As for the other two, I heard Chen Heping mention them a long time ago. Whether these two passages still exist now is hard to say."

After hearing this, Chen Du then asked for the names of the civilizations that interfaced with the Underground Alien Race in this area.

To Chen Du's surprise, a name he was familiar with but had not encountered appeared here.

Dynasty Civilization!

"What do you know about this Dynasty Civilization?"

Chen Du asked.

"I don't know much. Our Big Ear Civilization is, after all, a Surface Alien Race hiding Underground, so it's impossible for us to interact with other Surface Alien Races."

"My understanding of these Surface Alien Races is actually less than what the village chief here knows, because we don't know how they trade or what they trade."

"We only know that the Dynasty Civilization is also a Small Civilization. As for its strength, it is at least at the Upper Civilization level, and they are Humanoid life forms, just like you."

What!

Chen Du exclaimed in his heart.

This clearly didn't match the intelligence he had known before departing from the High Martial Civilization.

Before his departure, the information he had was that the Dynasty Civilization's strength was at the lower to middle tier, but here it had become at least upper tier.

Furthermore, the Dynasty Civilization should have been a beast-humanoid Alien Race, so how could they be Humanoid?

His intuition told Chen Du that the High Martial Civilization's information must be wrong. If the other party was merely a middle or even lower-tier civilization, then unless they were like Song Jingyan, pursuing him all the way to the Underground.

Otherwise, without understanding the specific situation of the Underground, where would Alien Races from middle or lower-tier civilizations find the courage and confidence to trade with the Underground Alien Race?

And it was such a massive quantity of secret relics; seeing it would be terrifying.

Even Upper and Top-tier Civilizations, and even Great Civilizations, did not choose to delve deep, merely treating this place as a resource harvesting point.

As for what roles the trading personnel of these civilizations represented and what shady dealings they were involved in, Chen Du did not know.

Speaking of Song Jingyan, Chen Du was quite surprised after hearing his conversation with Chen Heping earlier. He hadn't expected that what started as merely trying to obtain devouring grass would lead to so many consecutive events.

Because of the Concealment Necklace, Chen Du wasn't worried about the other party finding him. Now that he was about to be killed by Chen Heping and the Rat Village Chief Chen Jian working together, it also helped Chen Du solve a potential problem.

"Which Underground Civilization is interfacing with the Dynasty Civilization?"

"Sad Frog Civilization."

Chen Du silently noted down this name.

Afterward, Chen Du successively asked about several unrelated civilizations, his purpose being to create confusion.

If he focused solely on the Dynasty Civilization, the other party's subsequent answers might contain traps.

In this way, Chen Du obtained 12 routes back to the Surface. If there were no further disturbances here, Chen Du would find a way to follow the Sad Frog Civilization's village chief to complete a so-called transaction!

As for how to follow, he had no idea yet.

The return routes were thus determined. The only place where a trap might be dug was if the routes were all correct, but the civilizations didn't match.

This could lead Chen Du into the territory of a Great Civilization, but this situation could be verified with those village chiefs, making it easy to avoid. Moreover, Chen Du also had the ability to transform, so the information about the return routes would basically be accurate.

The only thing that surprised Chen Du here was this Dynasty Civilization, which seemed to be more than just a simple Small Civilization.

Immediately after, Chen Du took out a palm-sized piece of metal from his Storage Ring.
