9:Settlement

Then the gigantic snake submerged in the water and used a nearby river to follow them without making a scene. To find their location? The island itself is bigger and he needs to know and learn about them without them finding him first.

So, everything will go on slowly. It's much harder to achieve his goal without making much noise and causing any scene is dangerous without knowing the power levels of these humans. Even though they didn't seem to look like they were making any technological invention that could injure him.

It doesn't cause him much to take precautions beforehand to prevent potentially dangerous things that may or may not happen. With all of these thoughts, John followed them by swimming in the river. John thought thoughtfully(It seems their settlement is by the side of the river like I guessed.)

Then John followed them along the river. The carriage traveled for an hour in the land filled with beautiful nature and occasional fruit trees in the flat grassland with streams, insects, birds, and various herbivore animals roaming in the land with occasional large omnivore animals maintaining the ecosystem.

But none of them bothered carriage as the carriage traveled on a mud road that was formed naturally due to the occasion travel of peoples and carriage. John looked at all of this and marveled as the forest he lived in for a year or two was only filled with wild natural beauty where only hunting happens. Different from how the current vicinity appears.

The carriage stopped outside a large wooden fence with no one present. There's no way to enter inside without anyone opening the gate. The fence is four meters tall and built tightly to stop any insects and small animals from entering the settlement stealthily and causing serious injuries.

Just after the carriage stopped outside the fence. The door opened as two people came out and said "Enter, you guys came later than expected. Hurry up it's getting late. Only the hunting team still hasn't come."

The people in the carriage also responded to those guards and entered the settlement. John followed the carriage and got to the river on the west side that formed from rain and water flowing from all the mountains surrounding the settlement.

John looked at the fence that covered thousands of wooden houses and the people with black, skin, hair, and eyes. The people here all have dark skin due to long-term exposure to the sun. A shock to John is there are people with gills and some even have fish scales all over their bodies.

Normal people are lesser and people with mutations in the body appear to be the majority of the group. There's even a guy with a fishtail, John is appalled at this sight. But he still didn't come out of his hiding. As he doesn't know about their strength. From what he sees there's not even a single human from what he had seen can inflict damage on him.

The carriage entered the settlement and moved towards one of the large wooden buildings in the settlement. Everyone from the carriage came down and began to unload the fish they hunted into the warehouse and walked away from there. The food will be distributed evenly by the council.

Klaus departed from there after bidding farewell to his companions and walked on the solid mud road in a good mood. Even though everything he hunted is given to the village. That's how things have been from the day before he was born.

While singing the unknown tune he reached a two-story wooden house with a wide backyard filled with various vegetables and some fruit trees thinking about how to enjoy the night with his wife. The fish he hunted along with the animals hunted by the hunting team will be given by the distributing team managed by the village council.

Meanwhile, John is looking at the people and listening to their conversation. But he can't understand a thing they are conversing. So in a rejected mood, John began to swim along the river to take a look at the surroundings and also to find if there was any animal that could threaten him.

This place is very beautiful with a pleasant natural atmosphere and no threatening predators. Everything around the settlement is the epitome of heaven on earth for the people who experienced the earth. So, John is swimming around the scenery with enjoyment at a slow pace in a camouflaged state.

As not to alert any animals on the land and cause a scene that may be noticed by the people at the settlements. From what he had seen no one in the settlement seemed to have the ability to injure him. But he doesn't know how to converse with them. So, he postponed the contact with them till he figured out a solution.

Just as John enjoying the scenery. He suddenly stopped swimming as he reached the end of the river. Upon looking around, all he can see are mountain that's surrounded by clouds as the water falls from the multiple cliffs. The place he stands is a very deep pool as it's surrounded by numerous cliffs and water is pouring continuously making the place very deep.

John likes this place very much, he decided to make it his home. Then John began to climb the cliff and slowly moved towards the top of the highest mountain on the island to get a good glimpse of the island. To be prepared for any type of situation.

Looking at the settlement mainly consists of flat grassland with trees and nonviolent animals protected by the chain of mountains that also provide freshwater to the living beings on this island. It's just a place that's very suitable for any living being to survive with no abnormal animal presence.

Then John used his heat sense to find out if there were any threatening animals in the mountain. Other than some goat-like animals that are abnormally grown and only eat grass, and trees. There's no presence of any other animals that are particularly threatening to him at this height.

So he climbed down a bit by bit, as he searched every inch of this mountain with his heat sense. But no animal like a golden eagle has been found. There was a tiger-like animal on top of every mountain. He found that after stealthily searching all the mountains in the water pathway with much difficulty to not leave any traces that could be tracked back by the hunters in the settlement.

So it took more time and much effort as the water pathways in the mountains were only enough for him to crawl. So he unknowingly widened the path a little. But still, he finished the task he started and became familiar with the animals and the mountains on the island.

Most of the animals he found in the mountains had some resemblance to the animals from his previous life but were less gentle than the animals he found in his birth forest. So he concluded that this group of people from the settlement were the ones who changed the ecosystem of this island to make it livable and manageable with their means. Because all of these artificial things are very helpful for any species to prosper.

After finishing his task, the snake returned to the waterfalls he found where the river of the island originated, he swam deeper into the water reached the bottom of the water, then he coiled around a rock, and fell asleep. Even if he's a snake that broke common sense he still has to sleep to rest his body and brain, like any other living organism.
