Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

"Hey." Jin waved his right hand to everyone from a distance, his left hand still in his pocket, and smiled, "I'm back."

I didn't expect that Jin's first words after returning would be so relaxed and natural.

His old hat had long been lost, and now he was wearing a strange straw hat with antler-like decorations on it.

His clothes were also changed, no longer so tattered, and the material seemed to be some kind of soft and smooth animal skin.

This set of clothes should be one of the gains from his outings during this period.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, but no one spoke, their eyes just swept from Jin to a group of "people" not far behind him.

Jin smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and then focused his eyes on German and said, "German, are you back too? What a coincidence."

"We just arrived a few days ago." German pressed the brim of his tricorn hat, looked behind Jin, and asked, "Jin, they are..."

"Oh." Jin seemed to have just woken up and stepped aside, "Let me introduce you to the friends I met outside."

"Friends"?

German, Bisji and others felt strange waves in their hearts at the same time.

After Jin took the initiative to make way, the group of "people" slowly walked over, revealing "their" tall and majestic torsos on the stone floor.

"They" are a total of five people, all look very similar, with a primate-like upper body and strong torso, but grafted onto a horse-like body supported by four black hooves.

Although they look like the legendary centaurs, their heads are huge moose heads, proudly raised.

In fact, speaking of this kind of "them", German, Bisji, and Xiaodi are relatively familiar with them, and Menqi and Buhala also recognized them half a beat later.

And the one who is most familiar with "them" is Sambika, who used to live with one of "them" day and night.

Sambika looked at "them" in surprise, and couldn't help raising his head and covering his mouth that had been covered by the mask for a long time, as if he was afraid of making a rude scream.

This posture and this appearance, although slightly different, are not much different from the corpse of the "beheaded antler knight" soaked in the container!

"Beheaded antler knight" is the plant weapon parasite that German, Bisji, Xiaodi and Yungu killed outside the ancient maze a few months ago.

However, the hair on the lower body of "them" in front of them is more vigorous, like an untended overgrown garden.

Among them, the "three" also have backpacks made of the same material as the clothes on Jin's body on their backs.

Everyone can definitely conclude that "they" and the "Beheaded Antler Knight" are compatriots and of the same race.

But why does Jin know "them" and what is the purpose of "they" following Jin?

However, Jin has already stated that "they" are friends, so at least the two sides are not hostile.

This moment is quite a delicate moment.

Jin chose to insert the introduction at this time: "They are the 'Moose Centaurs' I met not long ago, and they are all very good guys."

He smiled and turned his back to the Moose Centaurs, blinked his right eye at everyone, as if to say "Pretend to meet them for the first time."

Among the crowd, whether they understood Jin's eyes or not, they all nodded secretly.

"By the way." Jin pulled his hands out of his pockets and said loudly, "When meeting them, you need to follow a set of etiquette. Believe me, you'd better follow me."

After he said that, he turned around, turned his back to everyone, and then faced the five Moose Centaurs, raising his right hand to the left side of his head.

Then, his palm drew a crescent shape along the order of head, left shoulder, and right waist, and finally his right palm slowly retracted to his right thigh.

Everyone looked at each other again, and then chose to trust Jin unconditionally at this moment, and they also made the same gesture.

As soon as they finished the gesture, the moose horse over there responded.

The moose horse stepped on all four hooves and moved closer, condescending but not arrogant to make the same gesture to everyone.

Everyone could clearly feel that the expressions on the moose horse's face softened a little, and the originally tight skin and flesh loosened a little.

"Uh..."

Bisji, who has always been eloquent, was a little stuck when facing the moose horse.

"Jin, what should we do next? How should we communicate with them? Do we have to use sign language all the time?"

If we use sign language all the time, then they have too much to learn.

Jin turned around and showed everyone a mysterious smile. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by a dull and rough voice.

"Human, don't worry, we know some of your language."

Everyone was surprised because the one who spoke was not one of them, nor Jin, but the leader of the five moose centaurs.

The leading moose centaur seemed stronger, carrying a spear and a huge shield on his back.

He spoke in short sentences, not very skilled, but quite dignified.

"My name is Scela, and I am the most heroic warrior of our tribe."

This tall moose centaur was not stingy in praising himself and was proud of it, and the other four moose centaurs did not have any criticism.

For their tribe, the strength of Scela is recognized, so no one will be unhappy about it.

On the contrary, if a moose centaur stronger than Scela appears in the future, Scela must give way, and the rest of the tribe must also admit it.

However, these are not the most important things at the moment.

"You know... our language?" Bisji showed an incredible expression and asked the question in everyone's mind, "But, how is it possible?"

The chimera ants understand the human language because they invaded the human world, and the queen ants ate the offspring of mating, mixed with human genes and memories.

Such offspring naturally mastered the human language easily, and at worst, they would learn it after learning.

But the situation of the moose centaur is completely different from that of the chimera ants.

The six continents are separated from the dark continent by an ocean. If humans want to go deep into the ancient maze in a normal way, they have to pay a huge price.

In this way, there is a natural gap between humans and the various creatures of the dark continent.

How could a race like the moose centaur, which has almost no connection with the human world, know the human language?

The next moment, Scela told the truth.

"We, our ancestors, have known Dong. It was Dong who taught us your language, so we can communicate and trade."

Although he spoke incoherently, Scela still expressed the main points he wanted to express.

Dong?

Dong Fulisi?

Everyone looked at Jin in surprise.

Jin smiled and nodded: "When I first met them, we almost fought, but it was Scela who stopped the fight."

"Then, they could speak our language, which was enough to surprise me, and what surprised me even more was that they knew Dong."

"They were willing to take the initiative to calm down the war and communicate with me because I looked similar to Dong."

Of course, the similarity between Jin and Dong here is not necessarily the similarity between them from the previous generation.

It may also be that humans are too rare in the Dark Continent, which makes every human that the moose centaurs see look similar.

This is just like when everyone looks at the moose centaurs in front of them, if they don't observe carefully, they may not be able to tell them apart.

"But..." Jin reached into his arms, searched for a while, and pulled out a stack of paper rolls, "These are what really made us become friends."
