Falling from the Sky

While Yue Yuan was reflecting on this, on the Dog-Headed Star, a group of biologists were still conducting various experiments on the captured Dog-Headed People in their laboratory.

"Doctor Cheng, the results are in. The Dog-Headed People's top running speed is about 20 meters per second, and their net jump height is 2.5-3 meters. Their muscle structure is very special, and their explosive power is far stronger than that of humans, or rather, humans in the past. Their endurance is also very good. According to the reports from the anatomy team and the Cellular Dynamics research team, there is an unknown structure called 'mei' in the muscles of these Dog-Headed People. This 'mei' can decompose the fatigue factors generated during the Dog-Headed People' muscle movement very quickly."

"Okay, Group A will be in charge of the muscle structure analysis. By the way, Xiao Huang, has the research report on the correlation between brain regions, brain waves, and behavioral characteristics been released yet?"

"It's out. Doctor Cheng, would you like it now?"

"Hmm, bring it here. These Dog-Headed People have much smaller brains and lower bone density than us, yet their physical abilities are superior to ours—truly amazing. Oh, I almost forgot, is there any result regarding the assessment of the Dog-Headed People's intelligence?"

"Not yet, Doctor Cheng. The investigation team in charge of this matter has just set off."

Inside the biological laboratory of the human base, researchers and scientists were busy in their respective fields. The expedition team mentioned by the researcher earlier belonged to the temporary surface biological laboratory and was currently piloting Tactical Armor, flying towards the Dog-Headed People Nation they had chosen.

Since the language previously deciphered by humans belonged to a country 700 kilometers east of A Tu's tribe, this expedition team's destination was also that country.

The expedition team consisted of only three people: a biologist, a sociologist, and a trainee. Since it had been confirmed that there was nothing on the planet that posed a threat to humanity, no Security Department personnel accompanied them.

It was an investigation, not diplomacy. Although the Dog-Headed People were an Alien Civilization, they were ultimately an indigenous civilization, and humanity had never even considered diplomatic issues.

And so, the three Tactical Armor and an unmanned transport ship equipped with various devices and instruments sped off toward their destination.

Shortly after, a voice inquired over the group's communication channel, "Professor Liao, we're almost there. Should we go directly into their capital city, or to the open area outside?"

The speaker was an intern named Zhao Su Lian, who was over fifty years old but looked only about twenty. She had recently graduated from school.

The Professor Liao she mentioned is a sociologist and the leader of this expedition team. As for the other biologist, his name is A Bu Lai Ti, and he is said to have been a Uyghur by ancestry.

The three were currently piloting Tactical Armor, traveling through the clouds alongside the unmanned transport ship.

Upon hearing her words, Professor Liao controlled his Tactical Armor to lower his altitude slightly, bringing him below the clouds. He then adjusted his perspective to look into the distance and discovered that at the edge of the land, he could see the outline of the Dog-Headed People city.

"Leave the transport ship outside first, and the three of us will land directly in the royal city," Professor Liao said.

According to the original plan, the expedition team was to land outside the city and then use the transport ship as a temporary base to conduct research using some unmanned equipment. However, before setting off, Professor Liao accepted the commission from Zhu Pete's 'God of Light' and changed the method, landing directly in the royal city.

We've already captured most of the Dog-Headed People used in various biological experiments. Once the investigation is complete and we have enough information and data about the Dog-Headed People, we'll move on to in-depth communication and pre-cultivation.

Although we are still far from realizing the technology of Mind Imprint, we still need to prepare some related matters in advance, so that when the technology comes out, the Dog-Headed People will not be idiots.

Therefore, it would be better to take advantage of the time now and begin some training beforehand. Although the arrangements for the Dog-Headed People are not yet finalized, it's never wrong to be prepared.

After Professor Liao finished speaking, he flew back above the clouds for a while. Seven or eight minutes later, he said, "Let's go, A Bu Lai Ti, Xiao Zhao, let's go down."

After speaking, Professor Liao took the lead in controlling his Tactical Armor to slow down in the air, and then took the lead, passing through the clouds, and then plunged into the royal city like an eagle.

Zhao Su Lian and A Bu Lai Ti closely behind, and for a moment the clouds surged.

The Volcano Kingdom is the name given to this country by humans because it has many volcanoes, and the capital city is located at the foot of an extinct volcano.

The volcanic eruption tens of thousands of years ago brought endless disasters to this land, but after the volcano cooled down and stopped erupting, it also brought countless rich nutrients to this land.

Phosphorus, potassium, copper, iron, magnesium, calcium, etc.

The legacy of volcanic ash makes this land highly suitable for agricultural development, as many minerals can promote plant growth and development.

Although the Dog-Headed People didn't know the reason, they truly saw the harvest of crops planted on this land. Therefore, in the eyes of the surrounding countries, the capital of the Volcano Kingdom was a treasure.

This day was the agricultural cultivation festival day of the Volcano Kingdom. According to the customs of the Volcano Kingdom, after the Sacrifice Ceremony was completed, they would have the slaves cultivate the land.

Inside the royal city, one after another, well-dressed Dog-Headed People led their followers to the sacrificial square, awaiting the arrival of their King, or rather, their greatest slave owner.

At this moment, a raging fire had been lit on the sacrificial platform in the square, and the heads of unknown animals and unknown food were placed below the platform.

"The Great King has arrived! The plowing ceremony shall begin!"

With a shout from one of the Dog-Headed People, the Dog-Headed People in the sacrificial plaza fell silent and then lined up on both sides of the high platform according to their rank, awaiting their king's arrival.

Outside their ranks stood rows of Dog-Headed People wielding bronze weapons.

Before long, the royal carriage of the Volcano Kingdom came to a stop, and the richly dressed King solemnly walked toward the sacrificial altar amidst the attention of the crowd.

The King stopped before the altar, then followed the procedure by stepping onto the platform and kneeling before the blazing fire above the altar, followed by rows of Dog-Headed People behind him.

At the same time, he cried out, "Holy, great, and unique God of Light, your most sincere servant offers you the most abundant sacrifice, the food we will plant for next year. We pray that you will shine upon the earth, that your light will illuminate all things."

After the eulogy, the King was to rise.

However, as he stood up, he suddenly saw three things that seemed to be flashing with light on the blazing flames of the altar, and at the same time he heard a swishing sound coming from the horizon.

Before he could even react, he saw the thing in his eyes rapidly magnify, then suddenly stop, accompanied by a sudden gust of wind, and with a thud, he stood firmly on the altar made of earth and stones.
