Chapter 160 Endless Darkness
"During this period, whenever I have time, I look for information about the blood oath."
The blood oath was the words uttered unconsciously by the Great Wizard when he suddenly received the message from the Beast God.
Indirectly speaking, it is also a warning from the Beast God to the people of the Orc Continent.
Winter is coming and all the animals are returning to their lairs.
Does it mean that when winter comes, everyone will die?
Or could it have some other meaning?
However, Hu Ze shook his head, confirming once again that it only meant death.
"Normally, the Great Witch would only receive the medical treatment knowledge passed down by the Beast God. Such prophecies would only be received by priests, but there are no priests in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, so Fu Xin indirectly became the messenger."
"There are traces of smearing on this sentence on the animal skin, which means Fu Xin was unaware of it when she did it. After seeing what she wrote, she was shocked and terrified, so she wanted to destroy it..."
After hearing Hu Ze's words, everyone had different reactions.
Lang Yi put his hands behind his head and didn't care.
Life and death are determined by fate. If the cold winter comes and everyone dies, then they are dead. What can he do?
Mo Xiao had the same idea as him, so they were able to play together unexpectedly.
Mu Qingqing asked one more question.
“What was the winter like in previous years?”
Her words sounded like those of someone who had never lived on the Orc Continent.
Lang Yi had already guessed something, so he raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Although Hu Ze was confused, he still answered for her.
"The cold winter is very hard to endure. The snow keeps coming for almost half a month. They will cover the houses..."
Mu Qingqing seemed to be thinking about something.
It seems that the cold winter is not the main reason, but the snow.
"Besides snow, what else?"
Hu Ze shook his head hesitantly, "No more."
Lang Yi suddenly remembered something and looked at Mo Xiao.
"Do you remember one cold winter when I thought we were going to die?"
Hu Ze asked in confusion: "When?"
Lang Yi looked him up and down.
"You might not have been born yet."
Speaking of this, Mu Qingqing still didn't know how old Mo Xiao and Lang Yi were.
So she asked casually.
The average life expectancy on the Orc Continent is around 150 years old, and the longest-lived is no more than 200 years old. Orcs still reach adulthood at the age of 17 or 18.
Mu Qingqing guessed that since Mo Xiao looked so young, he should be not much different from herself.
However, Lang Yi's expression is intriguing.
"I'm fifty."
Middle-aged level.
Mu Qingqing looked at Lang Yi's handsome face in surprise.
He's actually a handsome uncle?
That Mo Xiao...
She looked back.
Mo Xiao changed the subject, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
At this age, why do we have to go back and talk about it?
Seeing this, Lang Yi raised the corner of his mouth in gloating.
"When I met him, I was a kid and he was an adult."
Mu Qingqing's heart was shocked and surging.
Lang Yi is already fifty years old, and Mo Xiao is at least seventy or eighty years old, right?
She looked at Mo Xiao with an expression that said, "You are so much older than me," and Mo Xiao's forehead was throbbing with veins.
He glared at Lang Yi with a dark face.
"Pack your things later and get out of here."
Lang Yile bared his teeth, "I have already paid the beast yuan. This is the Fuxi tribe, my home. I love my tribe and my home."
Now is not the time to talk about age. Mu Qingqing decided to go back and interrogate Sishe about his age.
The old snake eats the tender grass without feeling any discomfort.
"Go on." Mu Qingqing said.
Lang Yi's eyes were blank as he recalled his childhood.
"That winter seemed like any other. It first rained, then the weather remained cloudy for a long time without the sun..."
"Gradually, it got darker day by day, and then we knew that the cruel winter was coming..."
"Until one day I woke up and found myself blind."
"It was broad daylight, but the snow was up to my neck. It was pitch black outside, with no moon or light. The fire was out, and everyone could only stay in the house in a daze, unable to go anywhere."
At this point, Lang Yi's face turned a little ugly, and Mu Qingqing seemed to have anticipated what was to come.
"The wandering orcs had no food, so they came down the mountain to attack the tribe, captured and roasted all the cubs. I was still a child at the time, so I was also captured. Ah Xiao happened to come down the mountain to look for food, and he saved me."
Lang Yi smiled and said, "At that time, I asked Ah Xiao why he saved me. Guess what he said?"
Mu Qingqing hesitated and asked, "He wants to eat you too?"
Lang Yi nodded helplessly, "It's no wonder that you two are partners. You really think alike. He said that I was able to struggle so hard in such a harsh environment, so my flesh must be very strong, so he saved me."
Hu Ze was fascinated by what he heard.
"Then why didn't you eat?"
Lang Yi remained silent, but Mo Xiao curled his lips and slowly uttered a word.
"dirty."
Lang Yi had a frown on his face, "It would be strange if I could stay clean in that kind of environment!"
The topic is back.
"What was scary that year was not the cold winter, but the darkness. The darkness during the day and at night was endless. Now thinking about it, it was not easy for me to survive."
Hu Ze speculated, "Could it be possible that this year would be the same as that year?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Lang Yi replied.
"After daybreak, I went out to travel and heard from other places that the cold winter in the northeast is even more terrifying than here. In the endless darkness, wild beasts that have never been seen before were born. Many tribes were destroyed because of this, and the entire tribe was eaten clean by wild beasts."
Hu Ze was horrified, "I have heard of this, but it has not been confirmed."
Lang Yi agreed, "It's been so long since that happened, almost no one remembers it, and those who remember it may not believe it."
Mu Qingqing looked at Lang Yi, "Do you believe it?"
Lang Yi hesitated for two seconds and nodded.
"The rumor may be outrageous, but it's pretty close. I do believe that something was born in the darkness of that cold winter. However, the cold winter has not brought darkness for so many years, and I almost forgot about it."
Then Lang Yi remembered something.
"Perhaps we can ask the Eagle Orcs. There was no warm place on the continent back then, and they lived in trees. Maybe they know something."
Hu Ze nodded, "I'll ask later."
After finishing this topic, Hu Ze turned his attention to Dan Lao Si.
Mu Qingqing asked Hu Ze about the Mou Mou beast and told Hu Ze what Mo Lin had told her.
"I have a guess, but I need to confirm it. Can I bring him back to the City of Beasts?"
Now the eldest's transformation into a beast has been resolved, the second one is also fine, the third one is alive and kicking, and the only problem left is for the fourth one, the egg, to hatch.
This matter has been weighing on Mu Qingqing's mind. Hearing this, she looked at Mo Xiao hesitantly.
Mo Xiao didn't hesitate at all.
"can."
If it had broken out of the shell and called him father, perhaps he would still have some feelings for it. But now that it hasn't broken out of the shell, it is just a dead egg to him and he can't have any feelings for it. Naturally, he won't be reluctant to let it go, let alone pity it.
Mu Qingqing: "..."
