I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

In response, the Emperor Project organization held a meeting to discuss the matter. After some discussion, they decided to return the items. The Emperor Project organization felt that the items were not rare and would be easy to obtain again. Moreover, half of the milk tea was still left, so returning it would not be a problem.

However, what surprised the Monarch Project organization was that the other party could speak English. After all, they had not expected that the other party would speak English. The reason was that the British had not found any information about the Guiding Island, nor had they had any contact with the people of the Guiding Island. How did the other party learn English?

Of course, the Monarch Project organization had only just made contact with those people, but how come they learned English so soon after making contact?

That would be utterly absurd.

After deciding to return what they had obtained, the Monarch organization also spoke with the imprisoned Monarch team members:

"Alright, we're also preparing to return the items. How's the situation on your end?"

After hearing the call from the Emperor Project organization, the special operations team leader briefly checked the situation of his team and then reported to the Emperor Project organization.

"Our preparations are going well. Apart from a few scratches, we don't have any other injuries, and they've been treated. The only problem is that we don't have much food. If we eat sparingly, we can only last a day or two at most. You'd better return the things to those barbarians as soon as possible. Although our weapons haven't been confiscated, escaping from a place even more heavily guarded than Constantinople is harder than climbing to heaven."

Upon hearing about the situation on the team's side, the Monarch Project organization seemed unsure of what to say. However, to avoid antagonizing the native inhabitants of Guiding Island, the Monarch Project organization advised the team as follows:

"We understand, but we must not use force against them before they make a move. We don't want to ruin our relationship with the indigenous people."

After receiving the orders from Project Monarch, the special operations team leader paused briefly before saying "Understood" and hanging up. After ending communication with Project Monarch, the team leader sighed. Seeing this, the others looked at him with concern and asked:

"How is it? Is the situation bad?"

When asked about the other questions, the special operations team leader shook his head and said:

"The Monarch Project organization has decided to return those people's belongings, but the problem is the local indigenous people. If they don't come looking for us, we may face a food shortage in a few days."

Hearing the special operations team leader's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At least it wasn't a big problem. They just didn't know when the other side would come back to find them.

Inside the cell, the team of scientists observed the room. Judging from the room, it didn't seem to be a prison cell, as it was very well prepared. There was a bathroom, a toilet, and even kitchen-like facilities with seasonings, which seemed to be for the residents. There were also many beds for resting.

It doesn't look like a place for prisoners at all. Could it be a place for gladiators?

However, it seems they haven't found any other gladiators yet.

Just then, an Alita tribesman wearing a hood entered the cell with a large platter of food. After placing the food on the ground, he prepared to leave. Seeing this, the special forces team leader reacted and asked:

"Wait! We've already made contact over there, and they'll be bringing the items over soon. What's your plan?"

Upon hearing the special operations team leader's words, the Alita tribesman who had brought the ingredients looked at him and said:

"Is that so? That's good. I've also brought the ingredients over to you. I'll report this to the High Priest later, and he'll make the arrangements then."

After hearing what the other party said, the special operations team leader nodded to indicate that he understood. However, he was surprised to see that the ingredients they brought were all raw. Fortunately, there was a kitchen here, otherwise the special operations team would have had nowhere to start a fire and cook.

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

In the room where the high priest was located, the junior priest, who was reviewing documents, suddenly received news about the Emperor's Project organization team.

Upon hearing this news, the priest ordered preparations to be made to transport the stolen items. The location was chosen to be the beach where the Monarch Project organization had landed. He also instructed the Monarch Project team located near the gladiators' quarters to return the stolen items to the Monarch Project team if the items they received matched what they had stolen.

Soon after hearing the instructions from the junior priest, the Alita people expressed their understanding and said they would inform the outsiders.

Both sides prepared quickly. When the Monarch Project's remote-controlled boat arrived at the beach, the Monarch Project members saw a team of Alita hunters waiting for them. They were surprised to see this, as they had not expected that there were actually indigenous people on this dangerous island.

Volume 3 [Yohaka: King of Monsters]: Chapter 1706 [Hunting Priest: I can smell it!]

On the beach, the hunters of the Alita tribe and the Emperor's Plan organization were facing off. Although the other side was only holding spears, they looked very abnormal, like some kind of creature.

Of course, because they couldn't observe closely, the people on the Emperor Project couldn't be sure of anything. However, that wasn't what they were concerned about right now. The problem was that their people were being imprisoned by the natives in their settlements. If they didn't want their own people to turn into piles of excrement, then they'd better return the natives' belongings.

After the representatives from both sides arrived at the center, the hunting priest of the Alita tribe spoke without hesitation:

Where are our things?

Regarding the issue of hunting sacrifices, the scientists from the Monarch Project organization patted the box in their hands and said:

"Everything's here, miss. Where are our people?"

"All the prisoners are in temporary cells. Once we've confirmed that everything is in order, our people will bring the prisoners over, and then we can..."

Upon hearing their words, the Emperor Project organization felt there was no problem. They had already prepared everything, and they just hoped the other party wouldn't mind that the milk tea was only half full.

Soon, after the box was opened, the hunting priest looked at its contents for a while, then frowned and said to them:

Are you kidding me?

Upon hearing the hunting priest's words, the negotiator from the Emperor's Plan Organization quickly replied:

"Please let us explain, we didn't do it on purpose—"

Before the negotiators from the Emperor's Plan organization could finish speaking, the hunting priest, staring at them, said:

"Where is the sacred artifact?"

"what?"

Upon hearing the hunting priest's words, the negotiators from the Emperor's Project organization were also dumbfounded. They clearly did not know that the items were sacred artifacts. After all, they had only taken these items from the stone house when they arrived here, and had not taken anything else, unless they had taken something that was sacred to the natives on this island.

This made the Monarch Project organization members in the underground base uneasy. Could it be that something that was sacred to the indigenous people had been taken away without their knowledge?

But since they knew, why didn't they stop them?

Could it be that the indigenous people did it on purpose?

Just as the Emperor's Plan Organization was thinking this, the Hunting Priest also revealed what the sacred object was. The so-called sacred object was the sacred object used by the spirit of all beasts.

After hearing the explanation of the hunting ritual, the organization was surprised that these indigenous people believed in the gods of the Alita tribe from 10,000 years ago. The organization also suspected that the Alita people might be the legendary people who came to the sacred land with the spirit of all beasts.

After learning about these things, the Imperial Project Organization finally understood exactly where this place was, and that the historical records from ten thousand years ago were not a fantasy, but reality.

This excited scientists who study history, but the question now is who took the sacred object mentioned by the hunting priest. According to the other party, if the hunting priest is not mistaken, the Monarch Project organization also suspects that the crew of Magellan's fleet were responsible for the incident.

After all, the story of Magellan's fleet mentions that they obtained a lot of gold and ornaments from a certain island. Let's just say these are the sacred objects.

However, the problem is that they do not know where those relics are, and it is also a question whether those artifacts have been lost in the long river of history or are now in the hands of some collector over the past few hundred years.

The most obvious problem might be that they'd be melted down into gold bars or turned into other jewelry. But the hunting priest wasn't too worried about these issues. According to him, the sacred objects were indestructible. Even if they were thrown into a place with temperatures that could melt steel or squeezed by a hydraulic press, they couldn't be destroyed.

Upon hearing this news, the Monarch Project organization couldn't help but recall the news reports they had discovered decades ago. Those reports mentioned indestructible gold artifacts, but since they were from decades ago, their reliability was questionable. Furthermore, due to World War II, those reports became history, and few people remembered them, except for some scientists who specialized in studying ancient civilizations.

The reason why these gold utensils cannot be destroyed is also due to Yuhaka. After experiencing some tableware being destroyed by her own mischievous children, Yuhaka has added some protection to her tableware to protect those fragile tableware and toys from being destroyed by her own mischievous children.

Although those protective enhancements weren't very strong, they proved quite formidable against things that weren't particularly mysterious.

However, the Monarchy Organization naturally refused the Arita tribe's demand for the return of their sacred artifacts, since they were not responsible for the events that had occurred and had no part in the Magellan fleet's actions.

The hunting priest scoffed at what the Emperor's Plan organization had said:

"Nothing to do with you? Heh, what's the deal with that guy next to you who smells like a descendant of thieves?"

Upon hearing the hunting priest's words, the person in charge of the negotiations looked bewildered at the scientist beside him. This scientist was the one who had told the story of Magellan's fleet. He obviously hadn't expected to be recognized as a descendant of Magellan's fleet.

The Emperor Project organization was quite surprised to hear the hunting priest's words. How did the other party know these things?

The Emperor Project organization also found this hard to understand, after all, how could the other party not have actually smelled it?

Could it be that the imprisoned Emperor's Project team leaked the information?

Such a possibility cannot be ruled out...

However, at this moment, the hunting priests also threatened that if the other party did not return the sacred object, they would throw the members of the Emperor Project team, who were in the cage, to Tyrannomon as snacks.

Although the Monarchy Organization didn't know what a Tyrannomon was, their intentions were definitely not good.

The Imperial Project organization stated that it needed more time, but of course, saying that it needed more time was more of a delaying tactic to buy time for discussing the issue.

Volume 3 [Yohaka: King of the Monsters]: Chapter 1707 [To Compromise or to Refuse, That Is the Question]

Hearing that the other side was preparing to stall for time, the hunting priest gave a slight cold laugh and said:

"Alright, we'll give you time, but remember, you don't have much time left. Don't do anything to waste it, or we'll make sure you keep your word..."

As she spoke, the hunting priestess and her hunters leaped up into the trees and left. Seeing the inhuman agility displayed by the other party, the people present couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Clearly, the strength shown by the Alita tribe had surprised them.

After the Alita people left, one of the soldiers, looking somewhat unwilling, looked at the negotiators and said:

"Are we just going to let those natives go? Why don't we stop them?"

Upon hearing the soldier's words, the negotiator looked at him and said:

"Can you decide the safety of the people in the cage?"

".......No"

"Then shut your mouths and obey orders, soldier."

After speaking, the negotiators and soldiers quickly left. As for the others still on the island, they have not yet made contact with them, but are only observing and trying to contact them for the time being. However, so far, the Monarch Project organization has not received any signal from them, and they may have gone to some place where signals cannot be transmitted.

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

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

After receiving the conditions from the Alita tribe, the members of the Emperor Project organization fell silent. After all, this was the first time they had encountered such a problem. The Emperor Project organization did not have a good solution to the current situation and was somewhat anxious because the other party had not given a precise time limit, and no one knew how long the time limit was.

Furthermore, the number of sacred objects mentioned by the other party was not specified, which gave the Emperor Project organization a headache. Even if they wanted them to search for something, they should at least give a number, otherwise they would have to search many times to find all the sacred objects.

The only thing we know is that those relics are artifacts made of gold, and at the same time, those artifacts cannot be destroyed. For this reason, it wouldn't be too difficult to find them, provided that we have the support of the United Nations.

However, several UN countries generally disagree with the demands of the Alita people, as they see no need to compromise on these issues with the kidnappers of a backward and barbaric race.

Of course, the United Nations has also expressed its support for returning the sacred objects to the Arita people, since those items are their cultural heritage and it is only right to return them. Moreover, if force is used, the imprisoned Monarch Project team may be executed by the other side, so they should not be irresponsible for the safety of the Monarch Project team.

This caused quite a stir at the United Nations, and the Monarch Project organization was also troubled, as they couldn't get involved. They felt that if they could obtain the sacred artifacts of the Arita people, they might be able to improve relations with them and perhaps accelerate the island's research progress.

The United Nations was also divided into two factions: one faction wanted to send troops to directly attack Guiding Island, while the other faction wanted to resolve the matter peacefully.

The United Nations is also arguing fiercely about this.

Meanwhile, on the Monarch Project side, in order to rescue their own people, they were also gathering information about the indestructible golden artifacts. Due to the long passage of time, finding information was quite difficult.

However, they did find at least one piece of intelligence: one of the gold artifacts was in a museum in Gaul. This was good news. However, the problem was that Gaul was one of the countries in the United Nations that proposed attacking the Guiding Island. It would be very difficult to get the gold artifact from them.

Meanwhile, on the Shin-Island Company's side, after receiving intelligence from their inside contact, Shin-Island was somewhat surprised by the information provided. After all, they hadn't expected that the Alita people could speak English, and that what they wanted were some artifacts from the gold obtained by their ancestors.

They also have these things, but whether they'll be damaged is something they have no idea. After all, who would bother damaging antiques left by their ancestors? Those are valuable assets; thinking about damaging one's own property is just crazy...

Regardless, after hearing the news, they did some testing and found that the gold artifacts were indeed not destroyed. Whether attacked with guns, smashed with fire axes, or even run over by tanks, the gold artifacts could not be damaged. This made people wonder if these gold artifacts had some kind of magical ability.

Furthermore, the legend of the Fountain of Youth inevitably brings to mind those mysterious powers in the legend.

This is why the people from Shendao are reluctant to let go of these things; however, even they don't know what use these things are.

They were also a bit troubled by this. At the same time, their inside contact informed the island of the situation at the United Nations. When they heard about the situation at the United Nations, they couldn't help but find it a bit funny. It was impossible for the other side to find the sacred artifacts, since these things had always been their family's private collection, and it was basically impossible for anyone to know about them.

Of course, some of the sacred relics were also auctioned off by others, but this was actually a good thing for the people of Shendao. If they could seize those sacred relics, they might be able to get some bargaining chips in their trade with the Alita tribe.
