Bob retreated constantly from the long spears in the hands of these strange people, his violent movements reopening the wound on his left shoulder.
It was a scratch from the rocks on the cliff face when he fell.
The strange people also noticed the wound on Bob's shoulder and moved in to surround him.
The foremost of the strange people deliberately lifted his mask, revealing his true face.
Upon seeing the other's face, Bob was stunned.
He had never expected the other to be a person, and moreover, a beautiful young white-haired woman. Her tanned, healthy skin, combined with the camouflage painted on her face with some unknown material, gave her an untamed beauty that instantly captivated Bob.
The woman gently brushed her crystal pendant over Bob's wound, then quickly pressed her hand onto it.
After a wave of pain, when the woman removed her hand, a miracle occurred.
Bob's shoulder wound healed, and the remaining blue light flowed into Bob's body like liquid.
Just as Bob recovered from his shock and prepared to thank her.
Boom!
The roar of a drill engine echoed from afar, and then a few figures, like startled birds, quickly fled with their masks on.
"No, wait."
Bob glanced in the direction of the sound, then decisively stood up and chased after the fleeing figures.
"Who are you? Where are you going?"
At this moment, Bob was like he had an external power-up. He followed them, scrambling up rock faces, jumping over stone steps, and finally squeezing through a crevice to emerge outside.
The dense vegetation and the distant waterfall could not stop Bob. His mind was solely focused on finding the girl who had healed his wound in the cave.
However, Bob soon stopped. The sheer cliff face before him did not allow him to advance another step.
Immediately after, a drilling vehicle broke through the rock face and appeared behind Bob. Savage and his group emerged from it and approached Bob.
Everyone was stunned by the sight. Brolldo rubbed his eyes repeatedly, widening them to their maximum, ensuring that his eyes were not deceiving him.
The continent seemed to float in the air, unaffected by gravity, with seawater constantly pouring from its edges, forming a magnificent and immense waterfall.
"My heavens, where is this?"
"So beautiful."
Those present exclaimed in awe, but more than that, they were shocked into speechlessness.
Savage was among them.
Looking at the scene before him, Savage was indeed shocked, but his thoughts were entirely different from everyone else's. He wanted to conquer this place, just as he had conquered other lands, and transform it into his own secret base.
Such a secluded spot would be impossible for the Justice League to find.
Compared to this, Atlantis and Themyscira were pathetic.
At that moment, several figures wielding long spears leaped down from the mountain wall behind them; they were the ones Bob had been chasing.
The five figures with their spears blocked the way between the drilling vehicle and the group. Behind the group was scorching lava. And to prioritize speed, Savage and his team had left the main force behind, advancing with Harry and the others. Including Bob, there were now only ten people.
"Boss, give the order. As soon as you say the word, I'll turn them into sieves."
Harry was not one to sit idly by. If outsiders weren't present, he would have transformed into a werewolf and torn these primitives to shreds long ago.
Even so, Harry's gaze was hostile as he looked at these people, his hand resting on his lower back. As soon as Savage gave the command, he would fire without hesitation, letting these spearmen know the power of modern weaponry.
Seeing this, Bob quickly stepped between the two groups.
Others might not know, but he was quite certain that these people in exaggerated masks were likely members of the Gatekeeper tribe. And since the leader was a girl who had healed him, Bob absolutely could not let a fight break out.
Bob wanted to prevent the two sides from fighting, but the other party spoke perfect Devil's Tongue. Bob could recognize and translate it, but he couldn't speak it. The Gatekeeper tribe also couldn't understand Savage's words.
Thus, due to the language barrier, the conflict between the two sides became increasingly sharp.
The Gatekeeper tribe believed that Savage and his group were invaders, evil aggressors. Savage and his group, on the other hand, believed that the other side was attacking them without reason, and their actions were merely self-defense, which was reasonable.
Bob, caught in the middle, was being pushed and pulled from all sides.
Even Artemis had drawn her bow and arrow, repeatedly urging Bob to return quickly. Sudan Novel Network.
At this critical juncture, a voice echoed from the cave.
Upon hearing the voice, the Gatekeeper tribe fell silent instantly, sheathing their spears and looking back.
"Everyone, we are not here for war. Our purpose is to completely resolve the problem that has plagued the Gatekeeper tribe for thousands of years."
Gaiton whispered, "Does anyone know why these primitives obey Zhao so readily, and why can he speak their language?"
The answer to this question was quite simple.
Firstly, the Gatekeeper tribe spoke Devil's Tongue, which was a native language to Bai Qi. Secondly, back at the camp, the leading woman had secretly flipped through Bai Qi's diary and mistook him for one of their own. Because of this, upon seeing Bai Qi speaking, they let down their guard.
Bai Qi approached the leading woman and communicated with her in Devil's Tongue. He then produced several Bluetooth earphones and handed them to Savage and his group, saying, "Put these on, and you'll be able to understand them."
He then gave a few to the woman as well.
With the language barrier resolved, the two groups quickly became familiar with each other. Having completely let down their guard, they removed the masks they wore.
The woman and Bob, in particular, were engaged in a lively conversation, chatting and laughing heartily. Artemis, however, looked on with a hint of jealousy as the two chatted so merrily.
Bai Qi also learned about the purpose of the Gatekeeper tribe from one of the men.
Initially, the man was unwilling to speak, but after Bai Qi employed a little trick, the man began to spill everything he knew like beans.
However, this man was too young and unclear about many things, only able to give Bai Qi a general idea.
A long, long time ago, on a certain day, a giant gate appeared on this continent. At first, no one paid it any mind. Until one day, numerous hideous monsters emerged from the gate. They were fierce, brutal, irrational, destroyed houses, and killed anyone they encountered. No living creature could escape them.
Their ancestors had resisted, but the monsters were too numerous and too powerful. Resistance only resulted in a painful price.
Just as the continent was overrun by monsters and life was devastated, three gods with pure white wings and clad in armor descended from the heavens. They were all beautiful women and called themselves angels, fighting for justice.
What followed was the cliché of angels slaying monsters and good triumphing over evil.
