Chapter 133: The Courtyard of Silence

A dense, trivial, and chaotic sound that could not be ignored flooded into Nashida's ears. She frowned slightly and supported her head with one hand.

Ugh... so noisy...

There are so many people...

Ruota, who was thrown to someone else by Ming Chong for the nth time, shook his round head and rubbed against Nashida. He was still quite concerned about this child-like grass god.

He had noticed that the god had just used some kind of magic. Judging from the current situation, it was most likely a magic to find someone.

Ruo Tuo, having received some information from the ground beneath his feet, was eager to reach Ming Chong. Ruo Tuo was indeed better at obtaining information and memories from rocks than from sand.

However, if it is just some fragmentary images, it can still be seen.

——Of course, for him in this state, being able to see a few fragments at such a long distance was already the limit.

Judging from this movement, if you want to know the extent to which Ming Chong can achieve [Resurrection], this is an excellent opportunity.

What bothered Ruota was that Ming Chong seemed to like to create some grand scenes. In the pictures he saw, Ming Chong was so relaxed and comfortable, and it could be said that he could do it easily.

It can be seen that Ming Chong had a lot of fun, and even enjoyed it a little.

However, even if he could get some information from the earth, Ruo Tuo still needed to go to the scene to take a look. So, he turned his attention to the little auspicious grass king beside him, whose abilities and methods were a little immature.

I hope she can bring me some surprises, well... it doesn't matter if she doesn't, after all, this journey is just the beginning.

Nashida, who had no idea that she was being given high hopes, grasped the key to the problem extremely quickly, but... she now encountered a small problem.

After living alone in Jingshan Palace for nearly five hundred years, this is the first time that Nashida appears in a place with so many people.

Even when Ming Chong stole her, he treated her as a valuable item, handling her with care and avoiding the streets and downtown areas of Xumi City where there were many residents.

All aspects are followed by pure practice...

Nashida muttered to herself in her heart, trying to concentrate her mind. Although she was somewhat troubled by the mind-reading effect brought about by [All-knowing Knowledge], fortunately she had already determined the direction where Ming Chong and the others were.

To be precise, what is captured by the [hearing and thinking] is their [consciousness].

In the realm of Sumeru, except for the Sumeru people wearing void terminals, Nashida can enter the dreams of or possess anyone who has had close contact with her, precisely because she is familiar with their [consciousness].

The reason why the scope is limited to Xumi is not because this is the country ruled by Nashida, but because the veins in this area are more active and Nashida is more familiar with it.

Just like compared to the Sumeru Desert, Nashida's methods on the rainforest will be more flexible.

This is the difference between normal people's fingers and toes.

"Seno, I know which direction they are going."

Nashida spoke softly.

In the somewhat chaotic scene, the people traveling with them quickly caught the subtle voice belonging to Nashida.

——This is probably the tacit understanding among the members of the civil engineering adventure team?

Jade chuckled to herself and quietly added in her heart.

"Lord Grass God, in this case, we have to hurry. Can we catch up?" Seno said as he took out the backrest seat.

Nashida paused for a moment, then said politely, "We've already reached certain conditions, so there's no need to rush."

——This refers to the way they usually travel in the desert, with Seno carrying Nashida and Murtada carrying Mingchong.

Nashida had originally refused, but Mingchong devised a roundabout way. Considering that Nashida liked swings, Mingchong asked her to weave a backrest seat out of vines and wooden boards.

That is, there is a pair of straps that allow Senor to be carried on his back, allowing Nashida to sit in the back to maintain the god's crumbling majesty.

If Murtada had not refused to respond to Mingchong's expectant look, I believe Mingchong would also have a special baby carrier for a baby over 200 months old.

It was precisely because of this subtle difference between Nashida and Mingchong that Ruota fell into Nashida's arms.

The reason why Nashida was able to say such words was because of another way of using the "perception of what is heard".

Besides its auxiliary functions of mind reading and remote harvesting, [All-Knowing] can also link the marked person. The chain formed by the grass elemental power will pull the marked person, limiting a certain range.

Of course, the "hearing and all-knowing" itself does not have the function of accelerating or teleporting. However, Nashida can use other means to assist in achieving a similar effect of teleportation.

For example, there is a special product called the "Four-Leaf Seal" in the Xumi Realm. Using the Four-Leaf Seal, people can move quickly within a certain distance.

Nashida's auxiliary means are similar to the mechanism of action of the Four-Leaf Seal, except that they are not exposed above the desert, but use the earth veins to move.

Seno nodded and folded up the foldable seat without objecting or feeling surprised.

Of all the people present, he probably knew the Grass Goddess Nashida best. Ever since his experience in the secret realm of the newly emerged Xiahui Mountain in Lidu Valley, he wouldn't be surprised no matter what outrageous things happened to Nashida.

He just used his ability to bring them to Ming Chong as quickly as possible. Compared to being locked up in Jingshan Palace for 500 years, or dancing with a mecha...

Sitting on the rattan chair carried by Seno while traveling is really nothing.

It would be better to say that just as Sameer and Gabriel always have a strange pride in Ming Chong, Seno, who has shared hardships with Nashida and can be said to have taken some care of her, also has a similar mentality.

After Seno put away his things, Gabriel and Jade quickly gathered around him and took a step forward. The five of them, except Tirzad, formed a semicircular structure.

A beat later, Tirzad, who landed on the outer circle, pointed at himself and said reluctantly, "Ah? I... I want to go too?"

Jade put her hands on her hips and nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course! Do you want to stay here alone?"

"Uh... forget it." Tirzad hurried over and squeezed in between Seno and Gabriel. Only then did he feel a little more secure that he was not left behind.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Tirzad heard Nashida speaking with a smile—

"It's going to be a bit uncomfortable later."

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Lord Grass God's finger lightly tapping in his direction, and the surrounding scene began to become blurred due to the high speed. Tirzad screamed subconsciously and waved his hands around trying to grab things around him, but he caught nothing.

“Ah! Wahh ...

Tirzad's screams that sounded like background music were replaced by an invisible gurgling sound, as if there was a layer of separation between them, and they had entered some special environment.

Jade stretched her body curiously. She felt like a swimming fish, enveloped by the power of the Little Auspicious Grass King. As she moved at high speed in the earth veins, she appeared with a light purple halo like a meteor.

As she gradually became familiar with this situation, Jade began to actively move left and right, or forward and backward, pulling her father Gabriel's hand and touching Seno's dog-head mask.

Hehehehe!

This experience was so magical that she even dared to guarantee that all desert children... well, even rainforest children, would never have such a magical experience as hers.

Just as Jade calmed down a little and wanted to be quiet and listen to the sounds around her, Tirzad's powerful, sharp and pervasive scream continued.

“Ahhhhhh——someone come and save me——why is there no one ahhhh——”

Jade snorted in dissatisfaction, moved over quickly, and bumped into Tirzad.

The weak scholar was almost choked by his saliva. "Ugh! Cough cough cough..."

Suddenly, he was brought out of his fear and heard the other party say with lingering fear:

"Hey, Tirzad, you finally have this amazing energy, don't waste it! Don't you want to hear what's going on here?"

Tirzad shrank back pitifully and helplessly, but unfortunately, he couldn't move backward.

Rather than any mysterious or exciting experience, he now wants to keep his feet on the ground.

Now I am so exhausted that I can't even cry. "Uh, cough cough! I don't want to know yet..."

"Oh, as expected, I just can't get along with boring adults." Jade muttered and began to miss the time when Ming Chong was here.

At the same time, she secretly condemned Ming Chong for being disloyal and not taking her away.

Although she also knew that if she was taken away, her father Gabriel would have to be taken into consideration. And if Gabriel was taken into consideration, the team would already have all the members of the previous generation of Xumi expedition team whose stories she didn't know.

Not only that, but Murtada was also brought along. With such a scholar, they had to consider Tirzad, who had some connection with their previous generation.

Pull out the radish and bring out the mud.

With this calculation, almost their entire civil engineering adventure team was included in it. And Jade listened carefully to her father's words. They came to the Temple of Silence this time to solve the problem.

Some people went to discuss the problem, while others stayed there to wait for the result. But wasn't Ming Chong the only one who could sneak out with one or two people?

——Well, when I think about it, Ming Chong has indeed picked up the bad habits of the cunning master.

Jade bathed in the various lights of the earth's veins, her mind wandering. Soon, she heard a familiar voice...

——

——

From a common sense perspective, those relics that are said to possess forbidden powers must contain enormous dangers.

In the end, the so-called treasure found will turn into a trap that devours people with its fangs and claws.

Case in point: the tainted Holy Grail.

To sum up, this is all to warn everyone and let people understand a simple truth - "curiosity kills the cat."

However, Ming Chong was still scratching his head and wondering what kind of trap it was.

How will it backfire on those who are controlled by desire?

Out of curiosity, out of desire to see, out of desire to fulfill.

"Hey, what is this thing?" When Ming Chong was rubbing his hands together, ready to step into the Garden of Silence, he suddenly lowered his head and noticed the mark on his chest.

He raised his eyebrows slightly because the pattern reminded him of something.
