"Such a burden is not something that a few people can bear."
Seeing him so humble, Chi Yuan nodded and said no more.
On the contrary, Danzhu on the side excitedly took over the topic:
"I told you, the work of the Fire Moth is not for humans!"
"Mingyue, you also think that those high-ranking officials are vampires who are exploiting us, right?"
Hearing this, Cang Xuan yawned and, still half asleep, accused the Fire Moth of its main crime:
"Danzhu's statement is too general. It can't reveal even one tenth of the crimes of those vampires."
"I heard from Klein that even Dr. Mebius's research funds were embezzled by certain people."
"In order to make the research go smoothly, the doctor had to attend those disgusting banquets."
"Every time, it was Klein who carried the doctor back personally."
Seeing his elder sister chattering on, Danzhu, as a witness, also began to explain the memory that he once couldn't bear to look back on:
"Don't even mention the doctor. We interns are the most unlucky ones."
"Before going to work at the Möbius Institute, you need to do a three-month internship."
"During the internship, not only do you not get paid, you also have to cover your living expenses yourself."
"He's totally not human!"
Looking at Mingyue, Danzhu became more and more excited:
"You don't know how miserable Cang Xuan and I were during the period right after graduation."
"Not only do we have to live in a six-person dorm with no air conditioning, but even the food in the cafeteria is disgusting."
"On Monday, they had konjac-braised duck and stir-fried cabbage. I couldn't tell whether they were salty or not. On Tuesday, they had potatoes and ham with scrambled eggs and tomatoes. They insisted that these two dishes were meat dishes."
"The most annoying thing is that if you go too late, there won't even be any rice left..."
After a long time, with Ji Lin still in a daze, Danzhu and Cangxuan finally stopped complaining.
Regarding their workplace complaints, Ming Yue thought for a moment and made a joke:
"How about this, when I get back, I let them skip the internship stage directly?"
Hearing this, Cang Xuan would rather lose money than let others make a small profit, and answered more anxiously than Dan Zhu:
"That won't work!"
"We in the other world must learn from the basics."
"Otherwise, you're harming them!"
Seeing that her sister had already taken the lead in the charge, Danzhu naturally had to be "selfless":
"Mingyue, promoting people arbitrarily is not acceptable."
"If you ask me, we didn't learn much in those three months. You should let them extend their internship."
“This will be better for their future.”
After the two of them finished speaking, even Chi Yuan, who was easy-going, almost couldn't hold it back.
She never thought:
Danzhu Cangxuan was caught in the rain and actually wanted to drag them from another world into the water.
Fortunately, Ming Yue did not agree to this cruel proposal on the spot:
"It sounds plausible and convincing."
"But do you really want them to grow better?"
"Why do I feel like you're deliberately letting them experience the dangers of society?"
Seeing that the plan had failed, Danzhu shrugged and made a serious excuse:
"How is it possible? Am I that kind of person?"
"Young people should just daydream. Why think so many unrealistic things?"
"I really just want them to make up for our regrets."
However, how could she hide her performance from everyone present?
Not to mention Ming Yue, even the simple-minded Ji Lin could sense that something was wrong.
Seeing the subtle expressions on the faces of several people, which clearly showed their disbelief, Danzhu, who had been planning to continue acting, suddenly felt bored.
The people who should cooperate with her performance choose to turn a blind eye. How can the game continue?
After a while, as the team continued to move forward, Hua on the right suddenly spoke:
"Brother Yue, what is that?"
Following her finger, Ming Yue then turned his gaze to an altar located outside the jungle.
From the stone pillars near the altar and the bones scattered on the ground, it was not difficult for him to see that—
Human sacrifices were once performed here.
But then, Ming Yue realized that something was very wrong.
This place is the territory of the Lingyu. Who would dare to set foot in this forbidden place full of dangers and hold a sacrifice?
With a series of confusion, Ming Yue took the lead and walked with everyone to the sacrificial platform made of stones.
To everyone's surprise, after glancing at the inscriptions carved on the stone slab, Ji Lin, who usually didn't like to use his brain, was the first to speak:
"Shangxian, there is no mistake!"
"This is what the Gonggong clan left behind!"
Pointing at the prominent dragon pattern on the stone slab, Ji Lin was very sure:
"This is their clan's totem, the human-faced dragon, also known as the Red Water God."
"When we went to the gathering before, those who wore white cloth on their heads were from the Gonggong clan."
"As for why there are traces of their sacrifices here, I really don't know."
After Ji Lin finished his introduction, Ming Yue and Chi Yuan looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the matter.
Bending over, he picked up a broken arrowhead that had fallen beneath the altar and spoke slowly:
"The worst-case scenario right now is that some clans have already defected to Honkai."
"In the pre-civilization era, besides the Honkai beasts that killed humans on sight, there were also monsters that were good at toying with the human mind."
"Aside from the Law of Consciousness that can arbitrarily modify human consciousness, the other spiritual Honkai beasts are enough to shock mortals."
"In other words, the origin of this sacrifice is that someone has been bewitched or controlled by Honkai."
Crushing the arrowhead, Ming Yue gave a new battle plan:
"The situation has deteriorated and we can't continue to sit back and watch."
"If we continue to let this go, Chi You might even appear earlier than expected."
"Instead of cleaning up these little rats running around everywhere, why not go straight to Huanglong and wait for Chi You in Jiuyou!"
176 Danzhu: Look at it, it looks just like it did twenty years ago.
At dusk, Ming Yue and others arrived at Yuzhou Ferry on the **Duxing.
When the ship docked, Danzhu stretched himself lazily, feeling quite contented:
“Ha~~Ah~~”
"Are we finally here?"
Standing on tiptoe, Danzhu looked at the scene which was about five or six points different from his memory, and introduced it to Mingyue:
"The last time I came here was about twenty or thirty years ago."
"At that time, this place was not a place for human beings to stay. The mountains and plains were full of various wild beasts."
"Later, two groups of clans took root in the nearby Bayue Plain, which reduced the number of jackals, tigers and leopards."
After listening to her, Ming Yue immediately grasped the key point.
Decades ago, two clans lived and multiplied here. From then until today, have these two groups been at loggerheads or respectful to each other?
Considering that the savagery of human beings in this era has not yet been restrained, Ming Yue vaguely feels that:
Perhaps, it is also possible that only one clan is left now.
After all, for survival resources, not to mention humans, even wild beasts will fight to the death.
"Mingyue, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that the other party seemed to be lost in thought, Danzhu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him:
"Are you planning to continue by water?"
"But the remaining section of the river leads to Jinju."
“Although it’s not impossible to reach the South China Sea where Jiuyou is, it will take nearly half a month longer.”
Danzhu pointed his little finger at the forest that the dirt road passed through, and said in a very sure tone:
"But if we cross the Bayue Mountains horizontally and pass through Zhongzhou, we will reach the entrance to the South China Sea."
"This is the road Chi Yuan and I have personally walked. I will definitely not lie to you."
Seeing that she was misunderstood, Ming Yue did not rush to refute her.
While Cang Xuan and the others were packing their bags, he casually said:
"Then was then, and the present is now."
"Just like you mentioned, there are two clans taking root here."
"But after so much time has passed, no one can guarantee that they are still the same as before."
"Similarly, only God knows what the roads that were once passable look like now."
Danzhu scratched his head with his little hand. He had never thought about this.
Because she fell into a deep sleep for tens of thousands of years before the destruction of the previous civilization, her concept of time is now very different from that of normal people.
Twenty or thirty years is about one-third of an ordinary person's life, but for her, it is just a blink of an eye.
Danzhu looked a little disappointed, and his tone was no longer as lively as before:
“It seems to be true.”
"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have thought that I had been here not long ago, not thousands of days and nights ago."
After saying that, Danzhu stood in front of the guardrail with his hands behind his waist, looking into the distance.
Looking at the familiar forest, she finally shook her head and looked at Ming Yue:
"Go left along the dirt road. It should be the old road leading to the Zhurong clan."
"As for going deeper to the right, it's the old road to Shennongshi."
"I don't know how many of those people are still alive."
After learning the names of the two clans, Ming Yue's expression was very subtle.
If he remembered correctly, Zhurong and Shennong were characters that were described in great detail in mythological stories.
And Gonggong, whom I met before, was the protagonist who angrily crashed into Mount Buzhou.
Although the legend is fictional, Ming Yue does not think so:
The clans in this world are honest and obedient, and harmony is the most important thing in everything.
Seeing Ji Lin and others still moving things, Ming Yue asked curiously:
"Danzhu, come to think of it, how did these clans get their names?"
"You guys didn't come up with all of this, did you?"
Faced with such a straightforward question, Danzhu patted his slightly heaving chest and answered proudly:
