Chapter 392: Chapter392-The Mysterious Secret Realm
John slowly came to and found himself seemingly in a cave.

He distinctly felt an ominous chill permeating the cave, and something about his body felt oddly different.

His first instinct was to check his condition, finding everything seemingly normal, including access to his belongings, which slightly eased his anxiety.

He meticulously surveyed his surroundings, realizing he was in a very ancient cave.

The cave was imbued with a distinct aura; he concentrated and sensed it was an energy fluctuation.

[Detection of secret realm fragment detected. Analyze?]

The moment John heard the system prompt, he was momentarily stunned, then subconsciously agreed.

Instantly, a transparent light panel appeared before him, gradually scanning the cave.

[Discovery of Grade A minerals]

[Discovery of Grade A+ minerals]

[Discovery of local natives]

The last message made John freeze involuntarily, his gaze instinctively shifting towards the cave entrance.

Seeing those people, John was momentarily lost for words.

Indeed, they looked like natives, similar to the wild men from his memories, clad in animal skins.

Where exactly was this place?

How could this piece of the secret realm look so bizarre?

Moreover, it seemed they had been pulled into this with Vulture.

This was even more baffling; what exactly was this place?

John carefully scanned the surroundings to ensure there was nothing else around, slightly relaxing once confirmed.

However, the people at the entrance were already beginning to enter.

[Main quest triggered!]

[Main Quest: In the upcoming tribal war, minimize the death toll of your tribe and successfully conquer the Eagle Tribe!]

[Quest Reward: 20% control over the secret realm fragment!]

[Side quest triggered: Earn the trust of the local natives!]

[Quest Reward: 3% control over the secret realm fragment!]

[Quests activated, cannot be declined or abandoned!]

[Side quest countdown begins! 0 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds!]

Upon hearing the quests, John’s attention immediately turned to the natives at the door.

Their expressions grew excited when they saw him, mixed with an eagerness that seemed both threatening and intrigued, as if they saw him as a formidable prey.

John noticed one native, particularly eager, poised to throw a rope in his direction.

What were the natives shouting to each other? Their calls resembled the chatter among monkeys, filled with sounds and a language he could not understand.

[Exploration of unknown language has automatically initiated translation system for the host]

[Translation system activated!]

John then heard the natives, evidently excited and expectant as they watched him.

“The high priest was right, there is prey here. This prey is quite unusual, looks so strange, wearing such bizarre things,” said one male native, his stone knife gesturing towards John as if assessing where best to cut.

Another native eyed John’s clothes, his expression markedly different.

“Indeed, the high priest was correct, this man is our finest prey. If we offer him to the divine, surely the divine will grant us the best of all.”

The natives spoke excitedly among themselves while John watched them silently.

Soon, a rope was thrown directly towards him.

John could distinctly feel the odd emotions that these people harbored.

He didn’t understand who this so-called high priest was, but gaining their trust was now paramount.

“I am the messenger of the divine; the most important thing for you now is to heed my words.”

Thanks to the system’s translation, they could communicate directly.

Upon hearing their tribal language from John, they were taken aback.

They exchanged glances, hardly believing that this stranger could speak their language.

“The high priest said this man is our prey, we are supposed to bring him back to offer to the divine,” one person said, clearly confused now.

Why could this man speak their language, and so fluently at that?

Most importantly, he claimed to be the messenger of the divine, completely shattering their understanding.

“The high priest must be right, but the clothes this man wears seem different, perhaps he isn’t prey after all,” another speculated as they exchanged nervous glances.

Everything happening now was beyond their imagination, and none of them knew what to do next.

John observed their bewildered state and, with a thought, slowly raised his hand into the air.

Then, a fireball gradually materialized in his hand.

Upon seeing John’s display, the natives’ eyes widened, and they uncontrollably stepped back.

They couldn’t understand how a person could manipulate fire—a feat not even their high priest could achieve.

Their faces wore expressions of terror, while John, controlling the fireball, slowly advanced forward.

Meanwhile, John took out his staff and with a slight incantation, a large orb of light slowly floated from the staff, illuminating the entire cave in an instant.

If there had been any hesitance among the natives initially, it vanished the moment they saw the orb, and they quickly calmed down.

A few of them took a step back and then knelt on the ground, praying fervently to John.

“Lord Messenger, you are the only light in this world, you bring us light and warmth!”

“You are not prey, you are the messenger of the gods, we should pay more attention to your presence, please come back with us.”

“Please come back with us and bring light and warmth to our tribe, please help us defeat the Eagle Tribe.”

The people became very excited, looking at John with eyes filled with boundless light.

At that moment, John received a notification:

[Quest successful! 3% control over the secret realm fragment obtained!]

John could distinctly feel something different within him, a new sense of control over this land, though it was very faint, barely perceptible.

He could sense the presence of certain items nearby, or the growth of certain trees and plants.

He could only understand a general idea, but manipulating these elements and accessing the mineral resources here seemed unlikely.

“Take me to your tribe,” John said calmly, and at the same time, the natives, brimming with excitement and utmost respect, began to lead the way.

Along the journey, the few natives were cautious, seemingly hesitant about how to speak with John.

Meanwhile, John maintained his aloof demeanor, not saying much, simply continuing forward in silence.

Using his knowledge of the secret realm fragment, John carefully assessed the distance to their tribe, finding it to be over 3000 meters away.

At their current pace, it would take nearly half a day to reach.

Growing impatient, he summoned two Thorned Rock Serpents.

The appearance of the serpents terrified the natives, causing pandemonium as they screamed and scattered in fear.
