Whether it's a pristine Life Planet or not, it's like humanity has discovered another great treasure trove.

Once we land, we'll collect biosphere samples and study them thoroughly. If it's Dextrorotatory DNA biosphere like Earth's, that would be fantastic.

Yue Yuan was already calculating in his mind how many more Biosphere Spaceship he needed to build.

Humanity lost Earth's treasures, but after venturing into space, it encountered Wolf Star, and upon arriving there, it found another Life Planet —truly an incredible stroke of luck.

Such good fortune made Yue Yuan ponder deeply.

"Could it be that Life Planet are really that common in the universe?" His eyes were fixed on the large screen, but his pupils wandered, and he thought to himself, "No, that's not right. Wolf Star is fine, but could this planet be related to the Awakeners?"

This star system was brought to humanity by the Awakeners. After arriving here, humanity randomly chose a Star System and encountered Life Planet.

How could this not arouse suspicion?

If the Awakeners did it on purpose, then what exactly does it mean? Yue Yuan unconsciously stroked his stubble with his right hand, lowering his head to ponder, "But if it was intentional, how would the Awakeners know that I chose the Orange Dwarf Star? Did it see a glimpse of the future? Impossible! Then... did it see through my thoughts? That's even more impossible; spying on other people's inner thoughts is too fantastical."

Yue Yuan couldn't quite understand it.

If the Awakeners have already discovered that there is Life Planet here, and deliberately brought humanity here, then why didn't they just leave humanity on the edge of the Orange Dwarf Star system or even inside it?

Was it a test? Or was it just a coincidence?

"A test or something like that is probably impossible. After all, we just met. To the Awakeners, humanity is just a civilization that can be easily crushed. There's no reason for it to happen. It must be a coincidence. After all, if the Awakeners wanted humanity to discover this Life Planet, there would be no need to leave humanity in the middle of nowhere."

"Well, let's not think about that too much. Since we've encountered it, it's a great stroke of luck. With such a biosphere resource, humanity might be able to make further progress in Life Science. At that time, not only lifespan, but other related Biotechnology will also rise accordingly!"

As Yue Yuan pondered this, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. Moreover, the Awakeners had said that this place was far from the battlefield, making it a Safe Star Region.

Humans could stay here for a very long time without having to live in fear like they did on Wolf Star, and would have plenty of time to study this biosphere.

Just as Yue Yuan was enjoying his own imaginary daydreams, a startled exclamation interrupted his thoughts.

"This is... Sentient Life?"

What? Sentient Life?! Yue Yuan looked over at the sound and saw Zhu Pete staring wide-eyed at the big screen.

Following Zhu Pete's gaze, Yue Yuan also focused his attention on the big screen, and then he saw this scene.

In a split-screen scene at the junction of a forest and a grassland, a creature the size of a mammoth is driven by a group of much smaller creatures and suddenly falls into a trap that was originally covered with branches and leaves.

Immediately afterwards, he saw more small creatures emerge from the surrounding bushes. These creatures walked on two legs and held various things that looked like weapons at the ends of their forelimbs. In no time, they surrounded the large pit of traps.

At the same time, rhythmic sounds rang out from among the creatures.

After that, the group of creatures kept thrusting their weapons at the large creature in the trap and throwing rope-like objects into the trap, seemingly trying to lasso the creature in the trap.

It looked exactly like a hunter.

"Zoom in on the image!" Yue Yuan called out to the staff upon seeing this.

The footage was captured by a small detector suspended high in the air. As soon as Yue Yuan finished speaking, the detector was taken over by the staff, and then the multiple sub-screens on the large screen were combined into one large screen.

The footage is in high definition. After zooming in, the entire bloody hunting operation was captured by humans, and even the biological forms of the two animals were filmed without any discrepancies.

The creature that fell into the trap was as big as a mammoth, with thick, gray fur, a mouth that opened and closed, a single horn, a long tail, and three-toed hooves.

The group attacking it with long-haired ropes and bows and arrows were a group of creatures with dog-like heads. The camera captured one of them slightly raising its head, and its appearance looked exactly like Comical Dog Head.

Most importantly, this thing, like a big yellow dog, has its entire head covered in bright orange fur. Combined with its facial features, it really gives off a 'dog head for protection' vibe at first glance.

Below the Comical Dog Head -like head is a body covered in yellow fur, and below that is a ring of different colors, which is presumably the creature's clothing.

It also has a tail covered in yellow fur, making it look exactly like a dog standing up.

However, it is much larger than a dog, and even larger than a human.

According to remote sensing data from a small probe, this thing is about 2.5 meters tall and quite robust.

Seeing such a scene, humans can basically confirm that this is a Sentient Life, but they don't know how far its population has developed.

Judging from this hunting group alone, they must have learned to use metal, since humans have already seen the long-haired weapons they carry, which, judging from their metallic appearance, appear to be bronze.

These intelligent hunting creatures look just like the hunting activities of tribal times.

However, the possibility that this population has already entered the Iron Age cannot be ruled out, because this is only the first one discovered by humans, and it is very likely that the same species still lives in other regions.

"Notify the team in charge of unmanned exploration and have them deploy more detectors to focus on searching for these... um... Dog-Headed People, and see just how far they've progressed!" After watching for a while, Yue Yuan said to the communications officer, "Also, send down some smaller drones, mainly to be responsible for exploring the area beneath the dense forest."

"Yes, Commander Yue!" the communications officer replied, and then connected with the person in charge of the initial exploration.

After giving his instructions, Yue Yuan turned his gaze back to the large screen.

By this time, the Dog-Headed People had killed their prey in the trap and dragged it out. They were now systematically using sharp weapons to butcher the prey.

Several burly Dog-Headed People swiftly brought down their knives, and a stream of blue liquid flowed from the prey's body.

"It's blue blood!" the humans who witnessed this thought to themselves. They weren't surprised by the blue blood; after all, aliens were incredibly diverse, and it was normal for them to not have blood.

Moreover, some creatures on Earth do have blue blood, such as horseshoe crabs.

Compared to these, it would be truly bizarre to find a planet with an environment similar to Earth, an atmosphere that humans can breathe directly, and intelligent beings that look much like humans.
