I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Moreover, these resources are also important supplies for the Alita people. Given that the last time outsiders caused the entire tribe to fall into civil war, the Alita people have no goodwill towards outsiders this time.

After hearing the young priest's words, the priests nodded in understanding and had no objection to the young priest's decision; in fact, they thought it was better this way.

......................................

......................................

After this investigation, the Monarch Project team learned that traces of natives still existed on Guiding Island. To be honest, the United Nations was quite surprised to hear that natives still existed on this monster-filled island, especially since they had heard that Magellan's fleet was in the midst of a civil war before it left, and the outcome of the civil war was unknown.

As for their technological level, although we don't know their current level of development, the furniture found in that small house suggests they might not be at a modern level; they could still be at a medieval level.

Of course, the refrigerator-like box we found earlier wasn't exactly a product of technology; it was simply a food storage box made from minerals that emit cold air.

Speaking of that cold-emitting ore, scientists have discovered that it contains a special energy that continuously emits cold air, causing the surrounding temperature to drop. Of course, this energy is not permanent, but even an egg-sized piece of ore can maintain this energy for a very long time.

Of course, cooling is not a panacea. In extremely high-temperature environments, its cooling capacity cannot be fully utilized. However, it may be effective if there are a large number of such devices.

The United Nations is also very interested in this ore and the unique energy it contains. This special ore and its energy can evoke many things, such as new technological products, new energy carriers, and entirely new energy sources.

Although it is still a long time before Earth's resources are exhausted, the discovery of new energy and minerals is always very exciting. Moreover, the sooner new energy and minerals are discovered, the more time there is for research.

The problem is that they have no way to mine these ores, and they don't know how much total there is or where to mine them. Most importantly, the monsters on Guiding Island also seriously affect their mining work.

However, they also considered the natives on Guiding Island. If they could get them to help protect the tools used for mining, not only would the mining work be guaranteed, but the Monarch Project's investigation would also be ensured. But the problem was how to communicate with them, not to mention that they knew nothing about the natives.

In response, the United Nations instructed the Monarch Project to prioritize finding traces of the native inhabitants of the Guiding Island, so that they could easily locate and establish communication with them.

Upon hearing the United Nations' request, Project Monarch looked at them with an expression of bewilderment, as they understood the UN's purpose. However, they were powerless to say anything, since the UN was their source of funding. Even if they protested, the worst that could happen was that another organization would take their place.

The army might come and deal with things here.

However, there's no need to worry too much about the current situation. After all, the elevator leading to the underground base isn't big enough, making it difficult for large vehicles to get down. Although tanks can get down, the passage from the underground base to the Sea of ​​Demons hasn't been fully developed yet, so it will take more time to get out. Of course, if possible, the Monarch Project organization shouldn't cause too much of a commotion, since there's no trace of the Calamity Star here yet. If the place is like King Kong, everyone here might be attacked by the enemy.

After all, the other side is not like King Kong, which is confined to a small island. The other side can fly, and its flight speed is faster than that of fighter jets. Moreover, radar cannot detect the other side. If it were to retaliate, no country on the surface of the earth would be able to escape its retaliatory attack.

However, for now, the Monarch Project can only try to contact the natives of the Guiding Island, but not yet. After all, they need to find a way to communicate with them, otherwise, the language barrier might lead to some embarrassing incidents.

But according to that scientist, Magellan and his team also couldn't understand the indigenous language and had to communicate with them through gestures and other means. It took Magellan several months to gradually become familiar with the indigenous language. Logically speaking, the language shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Besides, they also have written records about the local indigenous people. If we analyze them for a while, we might be able to figure out their language.

However, ancient philologists were soon dumbfounded when they saw the characters that looked like cat paw prints.

Volume 3 [Yohaka: King of the Monsters]: Chapter 1697 [Ambush]

Staring at the characters resembling cat paw prints, the ancient philologists were dumbfounded. Clearly, they had never seen such writing before. Seeing their bewildered expressions, the members of the Emperor Project organization couldn't help but ask them:

"Uh... what's wrong?"

Regarding the question of how emperors planned to organize their companions, the ancient philologists looked at their companions with a headache and said:

"To be honest, I'm completely baffled. These characters are completely different from hieroglyphics. We don't even know what these cat paw print-like patterns mean. This is a completely new writing system, completely different from any known writing system in the world."

Hearing the words of those ancient philologists, the Emperor Project organization looked bewildered. After all, they didn't understand this kind of knowledge either. However, seeing those cat paw print-like characters gave the Emperor Project organization a headache. This also meant that they had lost the ability to communicate with the indigenous people using written language. If they could only communicate with each other through gestures, it would be too lacking in communication skills.

After all, there are some communication methods that are difficult to express using sign language.

"So what should we do? Should we communicate with them through pictures or videos?"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Emperor Project organization couldn't help but think that this idea was at least not bad, since they had no other choice.

Meanwhile, in the shadows, Shinjima and his team received intelligence from their informant within Project Monarch. Upon hearing the report, Shinjima asked the others if they had any notes about the language of the native inhabitants of Guiding the Demons. The others replied that they did not, as too much time had passed and much of the original data had been lost, with only a small portion remaining.

Upon hearing this news, Shinjima felt somewhat helpless, clearly not expecting these guys to be so useless.

Of course, it doesn't matter. If the Monarch Project organization can't communicate with the natives of Guiding Island, they have other ways to investigate and conduct research on the island. They don't believe that a group of natives, no matter how strong, can withstand attacks from modern weapons.

..........................................

..........................................

Located at the shipyard, with the ships ready, robots were dispatched again. This time, the mission was to find and communicate with the natives of Guiding Island, but how to find them remained a problem.

However, all they know for now is that there are traces of indigenous people living in that ruin-like stone hut, and there's nothing else to investigate.

Soon, the operators started the remote-controlled boats and headed towards the Guiding Island. Originally, the mission was planned to take people there, but since they were not familiar with the natives, it was better not to send anyone there to avoid casualties if the island attacked without hesitation.

Upon arriving at the beach on Guiding Island again, the operators maneuvered the ships onto the island and took the robots to the Ancient Forest. However, at that moment, one of the remote-controlled ships suddenly fell into a pit. The ship was in a state of panic, and it seemed unlikely that it would be able to climb out anytime soon.

"Damn it, what's going on?!"

Seeing the flustered operators, the members of Project Monarch standing nearby couldn't help but ask Yuhaka and the others:

"what happened?"

"Remote-controlled boat number one has gotten stuck in a big pit. Strange, there wasn't this pit when we came along this route before."

Just as everyone was puzzled, several arrows suddenly flew from a distance, accompanied by the sound of metal being pierced. The remote-controlled ship was also pierced by several huge arrows.

The operators were dumbfounded when they saw this. They obviously did not expect that the arrow could pierce through the ship's deck. Although the ship's deck was not very thick, it was not a problem to defend against attacks from ordinary firearms. So why was it pierced by an arrow?

Before the operator could react, the bomb on the arrow exploded, and the entire remote-controlled ship was blown to pieces. Seeing this, the Monarch Project members nearby told the operator to make a sound to let the other party know that humans were not monsters.

Upon hearing the command, the operator hurriedly tried to warn the people attacking their remote-controlled boats, but to the operator's surprise, the attack was even faster.

With the next arrow strike, the second and third remote-controlled ships were also reduced to fragments in the explosion. The Monarch Project members present were dumbfounded as they watched the static on the screen. They had not expected the enemy's destructive power to be so strong, easily destroying two or three ships.

At this moment, the members of Project Monarch suddenly remembered that the previous data reports also showed that the natives of Guiding Demon Island used gunpowder. Thinking about it this way, it was quite normal for the other side to have sabotaged the remote-controlled ships.

In the conference room, no one paid much attention to the attack. After all, according to the previous video footage, it was a trap specifically used to hunt large creatures, and they probably wandered in by mistake and were mistaken for prey.

Seeing this, everyone felt extremely unlucky. They clearly did not believe that the attack was a trap set by the natives specifically targeting them.

After all, they had never had any contact with the natives, so how could they possibly have any intentions towards them? Of course, what they didn't know was that this trap attack was specifically aimed at the remote-controlled ships sent by the Emperor Project organization. After all, they had seen the culprit stealing their things last time. It should be noted that the Alita tribe hates thieves the most.

After all, when the civil war broke out, the fleeing thieves stole some things, including some gold and ritual implements. Although these things were not important, the fact that they dared to steal from Hallownest made the Aritars very angry.

Volume 3 [Yohaka: King of Monsters]: Chapter 1698 [The Plan of Communication]

At the site where the Emperor Project's remote-controlled ships were ambushed, dozens of Alita hunters, dressed in animal skin cloaks and wearing headgear resembling various creatures, jumped down from the trees. Looking at the remote-controlled ships reduced to fragments, one of the leading hunting priests picked up some metal shards from the ground, examined them, and nodded, saying:

"Yes, it's the metal vehicle used by those outsiders before."

Seeing the flaming remains, the Alita hunters nearby looked on with curiosity and said:

"There don't seem to be any humans here. Don't they need to drive these things?"

Hearing the hunter's words, everyone looked at the hunting priestess with curiosity, wanting to hear her opinion. Seeing everyone looking at her, the hunting priestess spoke to them:

"It's probably the power of technology, just like the technological products in the recreation room. If our biotechnology hadn't been unable to provide entertainment, the Son of God wouldn't have brought those things over."

After hearing the hunting priest's explanation, the hunters nodded in understanding. They were clearly surprised that the technology in the recreation room could achieve such a level. However, the hunters didn't pay too much attention to it. Although the recreation room's equipment was good, the Alita tribe preferred sports games, such as football, basketball, and other sports.

Their favorite activities are hunting and fighting. Hunting prey makes them stronger, while fighting improves their combat skills.

After all, they are essentially part of the original alien insects.

"Alright, let's put out these fires first, and collect all this metal and give it to the furnace. They'll definitely love these things."

Hearing the hunting priest's words, the hunters nodded to show they understood, and then began to put out the fire and disassemble the remote-controlled boat.

...............................

...............................

In a secret room within the Shinjima Corporation, after the failure of Project Monarch's plan, Shinjima began to discuss the matter.

“They failed.”

"Yes, it failed."

The failure of Project Monarch caused some frustration among those at the secret meeting. After all, a good opportunity had been ruined by a trap, making the secret meeting feel that Project Monarch was utterly useless.

And Kamishima explained to everyone:

"Don't be so impatient, my friends. Monarchy is just an organization that is responsible for containing and eliminating Titans. It's not their forte to communicate with them."

Hearing what Shinjima said, the crowd's emotions were not so easily calmed down, but they also knew that there was nothing they could do even if they were so angry.

"So what are we going to do now? If we don't make any progress, it will be very difficult for us to get our hands on the Fountain of Youth, won't it?"

Regarding that person's question, Kamishima also said to them:

"On this matter, I do have a suggestion for the Emperor Project organization."

Hearing what Shinjima said, everyone was curious about what suggestions he could offer. Shinjima then revealed his plan to everyone without hiding anything:

"The answer is simple: find a way to communicate with those indigenous people. I believe there is nothing that cannot be solved through communication."

The group felt that the suggestion to send a scientist to the island was too naive. After all, it would be extremely difficult to communicate with the natives if they couldn't speak the language, not to mention that the natives were too aggressive. The ship was destroyed just by being remotely controlled. If the scientists who were powerless were sent up there, wouldn't it be even worse?

"We should try to send troops up there, find out the secret of the Fountain of Youth, and then find a way to get our hands on the Fountain of Youth."

Upon hearing that person's words, Kamishima replied in an impatient tone:

“Listen up, you idiot! If others find out about the Fountain of Youth, it might become even more difficult for us to obtain it. Unless absolutely necessary, we shouldn’t add any more people who know about it.”

Upon hearing Shinjima's words, everyone fell silent. After all, Shinjima's words made sense. If more people learned about it, it might cause a sensation, and the whole world would be drawn into it. It wouldn't be impossible for the Fountain of Youth to trigger World War III.

The group was also troubled by this. If they wanted to snatch the Fountain of Youth from the natives, they had to find a way to prevent too many people from knowing about it. After all, the more people who knew, the greater the chance of being exposed.

However, the current situation is still uncertain; at least it hasn't reached the point of a life-or-death struggle with the indigenous people.

Before the Monarch Project organization completely messes things up, the best course of action is to remain inactive for the time being. The island is also very clear about the information on the Titans. Those monsters are basically beyond human capabilities. If the island's Titans are provoked, no one can survive under their attack.

.............................

.............................

Meanwhile, the Monarch organization held a meeting regarding the destruction of the remote-controlled ship. They discussed whether to send special forces to communicate with the other party, since they believed that the other party had mistaken the remote-controlled ship for some kind of living being.

If it were a person, the other party might not necessarily launch an attack, right?

But the question is, who has the guts to go there?

After all, the other party's attitude towards them is unclear, and they might even treat them as enemies, so this is a very dangerous job.

Even so, some scientists still dared to land on the island, because they wanted to personally study everything new on the Guiding Island.

After hearing what the scientists said, the Monarch Project organization also felt that it might be necessary to send people to handle this problem, since only in this way could they achieve a good communication relationship with the natives of the Guiding Island.

Volume 3 [Yohaka: King of Monsters]: Chapter 1699 [Humans Landing on the Island]

On the new remote-controlled ship, equipped with drones, small drones were also dispatched to investigate the surrounding scene. Because the Ancient Tree Forest was too dense, the Monarch Project did not conduct investigations there, as it was difficult to find any useful information in the forest. The Monarch Project's drones flew to the desert location nearby, where visibility was high and it was easy to see things on the ground.

Here, they also encountered new biological groups, minerals, and plants, but this time they did not collect any samples, since their current goal was to find a suitable location to set up a temporary base.

After all, a suitable base location is very important if they want to communicate with the other party, not to mention that they will need to collect materials on this island later.
