Reborn In Altaes - Chapter 7 Extraterrestrial Encounter

I leave those two behind in bewilderment. Hahaha, the look on their faces is priceless. Okay,That’s what you get for messing with me. They wouldn’t dare to attack me again. Even though, they try to kill me, I won’t kill them because I know that that would only bring me trouble. I imagine that some people will come to investigate about those two after they go missing. So, no, I won’t bring trouble to myself with more people coming to hunt me. I guess that matter is more or less settle.

“Etz! Narot etz!” Why are they doing following me? Haven’t I scare them enough? Sigh. Time to run. I quickly pick up my face and camouflage myself.

“Wait! Please, wait!” That Scythe Mantis obviously have a high intelligence. It acts like a person. Probably we could communicate somehow.

“Zara! What are you doing?”

“I will try to talk with it.”

“What?! Are you out of your mind? That thing is a Scythe Mantis…probably.”

“Well, we gotta try,” after what has happen, I don’t think it will attack us first, unless we attack it first.

It camouflage itself but, I could still see its tracks. Looking at the distance between the footprints, it’s running faster. Thus, we quicken our pace by sprinting. After a minute of tracking him. Suddenly, it disappears. Hmm, did it jump up a tree? I look up and see it jumping down at us. It lands between me and Zeke. With its back facing my brother. It does know my brother can’t really do any harm to it. Clever girl….or boy.

I look down at her. My head is three inches away from her’s. I’m trying to scare her. I don’t think it’s even working. She has this determine look on her face. Unwavering. What does she want from me? So, I drew the ‘?’ sign on the ground with my scythe. Wait, do they even now the meaning of this symbol? Apparently, no. They have this exact symbol on their head. Sigh….thinking back I’ve been thinking how to communicate with them since the first time I seen them. But, communicating with one another is hard with no language.

Thus, I take a few moments to think. Then, she draw a picture of me on the ground with her sword. I mean my mantis form. After that, I got an inspiration. I draw a picture of two stick men. She begins to smile. Yes! this is working. I draw an arrow pointing from the stick men to the mantis drawing and I tap on the mantis. Then, I make a gesture with my shoulders by lifting them up for a moment trying to convey, ‘what the hell you want from me.’

She draw another figure. Drawing a pair of shaking hands. Wanna become friends, huh? I don’t really trust you. yet. But, for now I’ll agree. I draw a circle around the pair of shaking hands. Then, I lift my forelimb like trying to shake hands, of course with my scythe retract. She looks up at my forelimb for a second and put her hand on it. I turn around did the same thing with her twin brother. Alright, handshake establish.

Zeke has his mouth open for a few moments, now. I’m also surprise but, I manage to hold my face. It continue to draw a figure of a….. Spotted Tail Badger? But, he didn’t draw any tail, so to confirm it, I draw it’s tail. The mantis shakes his side to side. No? A drawing of a bigger badger is drawn beside the first one. It’s really big and there is a long fang and large claw. Wait, that looks like….

—————————————————————————————————————

I want them to help me hunt the huge bear. If they want to befriend me, they will have to prove it. I draw a skull and a cross above the bear. Then, an arrow pointing to it from a picture of me and them. She understands that by showing her surprise eyes. She shakes her side to side. No? I nod back slowly. Yes. She still spins her head side to side. I come closer to her face and nod. Yes, you must.

This thing is crazy! A Greenhill Bear?! That thing is a five White Star threat, a peak White Star! The Scythe Mantis we are suppose to hunt for our rank promotion is only two White Star. The more stars is label on the creature, the more dangerous it it. Also, on this planet, the strongest beast is at the Yellow Star level. A higher rank above the five White Star creatures. We are literally going to do a hunt for a four Circle Slayer and we’re only a one Circle Slayer.

“Zara, is thing asking us to do…….what I think it is?” Zeke has a worry look.

“For some reason, I think is kinda threatening us if we don’t do it? So….no choice?”

“We’re dead.”
