Chapter 2206 Learning the Language?

When everyone turned their eyes in that man's direction, they saw him pointing straight ahead, where they soon noticed a creature standing there looking at them all.

This creature looked like a giant ant but stood like a human being. Its head was small, smaller than its 'shoulders,' where two wings, almost as big as its own body, were ready to fly.

It had two huge black eyes that contrasted with its tan exoskeleton.

Gulp!

"What's that?" One of the group muttered as they felt a relatively strong aura coming from the creature's body.

At first, they hadn't paid any attention to this creature's aura, but the more they looked at it, the more they realized the strange sensation of a level 97 creature from this world.

As they looked at the creature, the creature looked at them, its big eyes moving as it tried to understand who these terrible creatures were in its path.

'Which group is this?' It asked itself as it hesitated to take a step back.

'My group is a bit far away, but I can't risk going home while these creatures are watching.' It thought to itself. 'There is a Sovereign among them.' It looked at Maximillian, aware that it couldn't offend someone like that, or it and its tribe could end up badly.

Minos narrowed his eyes as he looked closer at the creature, sensing that his companions were becoming tense.

He raised both arms and called for calm.

"Don't move." He said to his people. "Let's try to communicate with it."

Maximillian watched in silence as the group looked nervously at the creature.

Minos tried to approach, making peace signs without weapons in his hands. "Can you understand me? My name is Minos. M-I-N-O-S." He said as he walked as slowly as a snail.

The ant-like creature looked at Minos with fear at first, but he was intelligent enough to recognize a non-belligerent sign.

You might think that peace signs could be different in every world, and there were indeed different customs. But the most important thing about a peace sign was not the gesture but the feeling behind it.

In this exchange of words, both sides learned a little of each other's language, quickly improving their communication.

"So you want to know where you are and what's on my planet?" Strin asked while the people in Minos' group grimaced, understanding only parts of its speech.

But Strin understood the Minos group's doubt after five minutes of trying to talk about it.

"What did it ask?" Someone asked one of the robots.

The robots there were some of the most adaptive beings in the group, and they helped both sides in this conversation to understand each other.

The level 99 robot said. "I think it understood our question."

The 'ant' saw this robot nod positively to his question and said, gesturing. "We are on Zocarro. That's the name of our world."

"Zocarro?"

"Zocarro? It's the name of this place? What a strange name." The people in the group understood as they commented.

"Zocarro is the name of this place? Can you tell us more?" Minos asked.

"Yes, that's the planet's name," Strin said firmly. "I am a native, a member of one of the many tribes of Zocarro. As for where we are, this is the Contaminated Forest. You shouldn't travel here. It's dangerous."

After 10 minutes of trying to talk about this area and how they should move around, Strin managed to get Minos' group to understand it.

"This is the home of a race of parasitic creatures. They will try to take over your body whenever possible. It's not safe to travel through this area for long. There is a special path you must take if you want to reach a safe area."

After the group understood why they had encountered problems upon arriving at this place, Minos asked. "Can you show us the way? We just want to find our way out of this world."

"Out?" The 'ant' liked what it heard because this group didn't seem malicious, like other space explorers who came and went from Zocarro.

"Come with me. I'll show you something."
