Chapter 674
"Stop talking about that, captain, how do you feel about your condition? Are you still asleep?" Mei Lindong asked again.
Yu Ling looked at the curse on the back of her hand and felt that the color seemed to be a little lighter, but overall there was no change.
"Okay, what I'm asking is nonsense, but it's okay if you only sleep for two days and wake up for one day. Anyway, captain, you must hold on. I feel that the competition committee is so cheating. I don't know if they will find a way to help you eliminate it afterwards.
Curse..." Mei Lindong said dissatisfied.
"Probably not, we still have to rely on ourselves." Yu Ling shook her head.
"The people of Yunlong Kingdom are so stingy! If you can't deal with the people of Blue Ridge Kingdom and Qidai Kingdom, they will vent their anger on you. They operate in secret and are not afraid of being criticized!" Mei Lindong was very angry.
"What's the use of saying something without evidence. Instead of complaining about it, it's better to do something practical." Yu Ling paused for a few seconds and said casually: "Have you seen any other contestants in the past two days?
Who?"
"Where is it?" Mei Lindong opened her eyes wide and said, "Aren't there always just the five of us?"
"That's it...then you think I didn't say it. I just feel a little strange. Is it only our mission related to Shen Yefeng?" Yu Ling said casually.
"I don't know. I think whoever comes to this place will be unlucky. The Yunlong Kingdom must want to kill you with a borrowed knife to get rid of you!" Mei Lindong was already immersed in conspiracy theories.
"Well, how have you been these two days?"
"That's it, practice, read information, rest, chat, and occasionally have a meal." Mei Lindong was very bored.
"Anyway, you should try your best to act together and be careful in everything." Yu Ling said.
"Why be careful? We are in the village, what could happen?" Mei Lindong looked confused.
Yu Ling couldn't explain clearly, so she could only say in a roundabout way: "Think about how the old man in Aunt Li's house died? What if those things are not only interested in soul masters?"
"Captain, you're scaring me again!" Mei Lindong's whole body trembled.
"It's always good to be careful, that's all when I'm awake, but when I'm asleep I really can't care about you, and I don't even have the power to protect myself."
Mei Lindong asked cautiously: "Well, Captain, have you ever encountered that kind of thing?"
Yu Ling paused for two seconds before calmly saying: "No."
"Really?" Mei Lindong felt something was wrong.
"If I had met you, would I still be standing here talking to you?"
"Oh, that's true..." Mei Lindong nodded vaguely.
Yu Ling could only sigh secretly. He had decided to go to the Black Cloud Clan alone to keep the appointment. If Mei Lindong and others found out, they would not be able to help and it would only increase their worries.
And there are many things that are safer if you don’t know them.
Walking to a certain house, Mei Lindong opened the wooden door and shouted loudly: "Everyone, come out quickly, the captain is awake!"
"What? The captain is awake?!" Chi Yu was hurriedly replacing the jade slip in his hand with another one.
"It's too late, hahaha." Mei Lindong said with a bad smile.
Chi Yuzheng glared at her and quickly said with a guilty conscience: "Captain, I was wrong! I only looked at the Jade Slip of Spiritual Skills for a while. I have been carefully sorting out the information in the past two days!"
Zhu Hongya and Song Haotang also ran over from the next door room and couldn't help but feel happy when they saw Yu Ling standing here.
"Okay, okay, I don't blame you. No one can read information all the time for twelve hours a day." Yu Ling waved her hand.
"I have put together the useful information that everyone has found. Captain, please take a look!" Chi Yuzheng handed over a jade slip.
Yu Ling sat down and looked through the jade slips. Some of them contained descriptions and speculations about the monsters on Shen Ye Peak, and some contained methods that the village chief had come up with to break the curse.
Although most of the information was useless, some still caught Yu Ling's attention.
For example, the diary written by a man named Zheng Jinwu.
This is also the oldest of all the materials.
Zheng Jinwu's grandfather was a close subordinate who followed Fan Yaqi. He was trusted and respected by Fan Yaqi at that time, so he also knew a lot of secrets.
Although Fan Yaqi did not have the habit of keeping a diary, fortunately Zheng Jinwu did, and the material of the jade slips will not decay for hundreds of years, so the preserved information is quite complete.
"Yunlong calendar seventy-three years, August 19th."
"It's my twelfth birthday today. I heard my grandpa say a lot of interesting things. Although it has been decades since Senior Fan and his grandpa moved to Shenye Mountain, there are still many mysteries that need to be explored here. Why does the mountain appear at midnight every night?
A burst of singing will sound from the top of the mountain? If it is a human being, it must have been tired of singing day after day, right? But if it is a ghost... Anyway, I don’t believe that there are ghosts in this world."
"Yunlong calendar seventy-eighth year, March 2nd."
"Today I got excited and walked around the towns near Chenye Mountain. I accidentally heard a strange legend. I don't know if it is true or not. It is said that there is a god-level spiritual weapon buried in Shenye Peak.
It is precisely because of it that the mountainside will be forever lost in the night. I have never seen a spiritual weapon beyond the heaven level in my whole life. I asked my grandfather, and he also shook his head. It is said that there are divine level spiritual weapons.
No less intelligent than human beings, it would be great if I could be lucky enough to meet him."
"In the same year, March 11th."
"It's all my fault... I shouldn't have talked nonsense about god-level spiritual weapons. Who knew that Xiaoyan actually believed it? She ran to Shenye Peak alone in the middle of the night and has been missing for three days. She didn't know
Is she alive or dead... I hope Xiaoyan is safe and sound, no
However, I will really feel guilty for the rest of my life. Although neither Grandpa nor Senior Fan meant to blame me, I was really scared. Senior Fan especially dotes on Xiaoyan, his great-great-granddaughter, and this time he went out of his way to find her.
Kill me..."
"In the same year, March 15th."
"What to do, what to do, several days have passed, and Senior Fan has not come back yet. He has almost become a peerless powerhouse above the Illusion God. Could it be that he has also disappeared on the top of Shen Ye Peak? Impossible, impossible...
…”
"In the same year, March 16th."
"Oh my god, what's going on? Why is the whole world dark? What happened on the top of Chenye Peak? This, this can't be the end of the world..."
"In the same year, March 24th."
"I... I don't know what to say anymore. I feel like I'm in a dream. Everything is in a trance. I really... really can't accept this reality."
"Why did I fall into a coma a few days ago and be infected with such a vicious curse when I woke up? Everyone I know has completely changed. My grandfather has aged terribly, and my father seems to have been deprived of a few years of his life.
For ten years, even I was sick and listless, always feeling like I didn’t get enough sleep..."
"No one knows what happened... maybe only Senior Fan knows, but he... still has no news. I have a hunch that he will probably... never come back."
…
There were some bits and pieces of information that followed, full of hesitation, confusion and pain. Until he fell asleep for the last time, Zheng Jinwu blamed himself extremely, always feeling that if he hadn't talked nonsense, all the disasters would never have happened.
Although there are too many details lost in the dust of history, Yu Ling can at least know that it was Fan Yaqi who climbed to the top of Shenye Peak, which triggered this series of changes.
Is it because he did something that offended the Black Cloud Clan and ultimately led to such unrelenting consequences?
Yu Ling was thinking silently when a familiar voice suddenly sounded next to her: "Why are you reading these things as soon as you wake up? Do you want to have a meal first to refresh yourself?"
