Of course, if Shanghai could speak, she would definitely say that Suika's surroundings were wide open, and she could easily dodge with just a twist of her body.

Just as the two were playing around, a rustling sound came from afar.

Then three green, shirtless lizardmen emerged from the woods.

"Big brother, big brother, we've got a bite!"

"You idiot third brother, this is clearly a person!"

"However, this is Beast Trail that my second brother and I carefully selected. No one has ever come here before. How could someone have fallen victim to it this time?"

"I don't know!"

"Second brother, what do you think?"

"They fell for such a simple trap. I think they're just throwing money away in Seoul. What do you think, Third Brother?"

"Me too!"

As Suika was sizing up the three lizardmen below, they were also sizing her up.

"Outsider, where are you from?"

After lowering Suika from the trap, the leader asked a question.

Suika pointed behind her

"Seaside?"

Suika shook her head. "The other side of the sea."

After hearing what she said, the three of them stared wide-eyed.

"The other side of the sea, that's really far..."

"Yes, yes... I tried swimming over there before, but the waves washed me back." The moment the man called Third Brother spoke, Suika couldn't help but glance at him.

What a talent!

Don't be fooled by how easily Suika flew over from Iberia.

But this is a real sea.

The distance between the two sides is about fifty kilometers, forming a strait between the outer sea and the inner sea.

Even for a Super Terra, swimming across isn't something they can do empty-handed and without preparation.

Just as Suika was admiring her third brother, the three of them also greatly admired Suika.

After all, crossing from the other side of the sea was something none of the three of them could do.

Moreover, the three of them did not question Suika's intentions at all; on the contrary, they warmly invited her to the tribe.

"A tribe? You still have a tribal system here!"

Suika said, feigning surprise.

"That's right, that's right...we three are from the Wilderness Will Tribe," the third brother said enthusiastically.

As soon as he finished speaking, his older brother slapped him on the forehead with his big hand.

"What 'Wilderness Will'? We're called the Gavial's Will' now. If the chief finds out you've said something wrong again, you'll be hung up and beaten."

"But Gavial has a thin tail... we have thick tails..."

The third brother was clearly not convinced, but before he could finish speaking, his eldest brother slapped him on the forehead again, and then, together with his second brother, gave him a mixed doubles beating in front of Suika.

Afterwards, Suika saw her third brother, whose face had become noticeably fuller, finally admit with a wronged expression that the tribe's name was Gavial's Will.

Silently following the three people to the tribe, he quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers as an outsider.

"The chief is here!" Just as the crowd was growing, a voice came from afar, and then the crowd that had just gathered there suddenly dispersed.

Suika a sigh of relief.

After all, the women of the Adakris were somewhat better; most of them still resembled human beings.

But in Suika's eyes, the men here are all severely atavistic lizardmen.

Even with her great courage, Suika felt quite pressured being surrounded by a group of Suika.

"Outsider, what brings you to Acahualla?"

The girl's voice interrupted Suika's thoughts.

Looking at the seemingly delicate girl in front of her, Suika subconsciously glanced at her exaggeratedly thick tail.

Upon noticing Suika's gaze, the girl tried to cover herself, but it was clear that her slender hands were no match for her tail.

"You are the chieftain of the Wilderness Will?"

After hearing Suika's words, the girl looked at the three people who had brought Suika in.

Seeing the girl's death stare, the eldest and second eldest brothers decisively pointed to the third brother, who had no idea what had happened.

"Yes, yes, we brought her back."

Thinking he was being asked if he had brought the person back, the third brother said decisively and proudly.

"Very good..." Tomimi nodded without changing her expression in front of the guests.

"As a reward, you'll be my opponent this afternoon!"

After Tomimi finished speaking, the third brother realized that something seemed amiss.

Just thinking about the feeling of being hit on the head with that weapon from Tomimi, and you're telling me this is a reward?

However, the chief's gaze was no longer on him, and it was too late for him to refuse.

"Hello, I am Chief Tomimi of the Gavial's Will Tribe."

We haven't had any outsiders here for a long time, so everyone is a bit excited. We hope you can forgive us."

"Tomimi said very solemnly."

"Tomimi, it's you! Looks like I'm really lucky."

Suika's sudden words left Tomimi somewhat bewildered. Did Suika know her?

Before she could even speak, she saw Suika take out an envelope.

"When someone learned that I was going to pass through the Acahualla region, they asked me to deliver a letter to you. This region is so big, and this is my first time here."

I thought I'd be searching for a long time here, but I didn't expect to see you on the very first day.

Tomimi's pupils dilated suddenly when she saw the marking on the envelope.

She grabbed the letter and opened it; tears soon streamed down her face.

Those around her, seeing Tomimi crying, assumed that Suika had done something wrong. Even though she had been friendly just moments before, they all surrounded her with tense expressions.

When Tomimi looked up from the letter, she saw a dense crowd surrounding her.

Chapter 536 Number One Fan, Tomimi

"What are you all doing here? Are you trying to rebel?!"

As soon as Tomimi finished speaking, everyone scattered in a flurry.

Only a blue-feathered bird wearing glasses remained, perched on her head, looking at the letter in Tomimi's hand.

"Is it news from Gavial?"

The bird asked.

"Yes, High Priest, it's a letter from Gavial," Tomimi said, wiping away her tears.

Tomimi pointed at Suika and said

"Gavial said she's currently studying at a company called Rhodes Island and is doing quite well. She also mentioned that the messenger who delivered the letter was from Rhodes Island and told us to treat her well."

The high priest looked up at Suika and shook himself.

The girl in front of him gave him the feeling that she didn't need any hospitality at all; with that terrifying aura, no one in the entire Acahualla could handle her.

"Hello Tomimi, hello High Priestess," Suika said in a friendly manner, extending her hand to the two of them.

Ten minutes later, in the chief's house where Tomimi was, the two people and the bird sat on the floor.

Suika came here at the invitation of Tomimi, hoping she could tell her about Gavial's experiences on Rhodes Island.

Suika took out her phone, scrolled through it, and found a photo that included Gavial.

"Look, Gavial is Rhodes Island's doctor, mainly responsible for battlefield first aid and other work. He is someone that all Rhodes Island operators admire and trust."

As far as I know, among all the medical operators on Rhodes Island, the patients she treated were the most obedient to medical orders, second only to the head of the Medical Department, Kal'tsit.

"Waaaaah, it's Gavial..."

When Tomimi saw the photo of Gavial, a kind-looking medical operative holding a hammer and hacksaw, she burst into tears.

Then the high priest slapped her on the forehead.

"Gavial is alive and well, why are you crying?"

"Look at her physique, those muscles, she's living much better than us."

The high priest examined the photograph for a moment and then spoke.

Tomimi quickly nodded and wiped away her tears.

Then she looked at Suika, wanting to see more of Gavial's photos.

While inwardly criticizing the idea of having a female chauvinist, Suika took out her camera, sent the photos to the camera, printed them out, and handed them to her.

"Oh, I got Gavial's photo!"

Upon receiving the photo, Tomimi held it high with both hands, just like a character in a game who had obtained an important item.

After examining it carefully, he gently tucked it into his pocket.

Then she went out of the house and said to the guard at the door.

"Spread the word: a banquet will be held tonight. Welcome all our friends!"

"Wow!" A cheer erupted from the people nearby upon hearing Tomimi's words.

Then, Tomimi led Suika to an empty treehouse on the edge of a nearby tribe.

"I'm sorry, there are no spare rooms in the tribe. This treehouse is where I usually rest. It was taken out by Gavial and me a while ago."

It's not very big, but I'll have to make do with it."

Suika didn't mind, and in fact, she found it quite novel to have ever stayed in a treehouse inside a large tree before.

As for the size of the tree hole, Tomimi was being modest. Suika looked at the tree hole and its surroundings, and realized it was bigger than a single dormitory room on Rhodes Island.

These enormous trees can only be found in undeveloped lands like the Sami and Sargon Rainforest.

Thinking about this, Suika realized something: this rainforest called Acahualla must not have suffered from Catastrophe for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Otherwise, the forests and the diverse array of creatures here wouldn't be able to thrive.

Thinking of this, she then thought of Kjerag.

The people of Kjerag hid in the snow-covered mountains to escape the Catastrophe.

Although not affected by Catastrophe, the annual snow season is still a challenge.

This is also the price that Kjerag pays for being unaffected by Catastrophe.

Would they be so upset they'd vomit blood if they saw Acahualla's side?

After all, Kjerag paid a heavy price to avoid the Catastrophe.

But Acahualla, who was also untouched by Catastrophe, lived an unusually comfortable life.

Moreover, the village has abundant housing, so even without engaging in production or daily life, the Acahualla tribe, living in the most primitive environment, will not experience hunger.

After all, you can find food almost anywhere you go here.

After placing the bag in the tree hollow, Suika let Shanghai go play by herself, while she and Tomimi sat in front of the big tree.

Where is the High Priest Bird?

After sitting down, Suika realized that the High Priest had disappeared sometime earlier.

Tomimi shook her head
