After Sean finished speaking, Lu Yuan picked up his teacup and took another sip of water, staring intently at the other man. Sean turned around, his figure half in shadow and half in sunlight, making him look somewhat torn apart.
"This story begins two years ago. In order to lead my people to get more food, we were forced to go to that terrifying jungle!"
This entire mountain range divides this place into six valleys, and the first place we are in now belongs to the second valley. The creatures among us have been marked with a certain imprint in their bones.
That means you should never go to territory that doesn't belong to you, otherwise it will bring endless trouble! But there are no resources on the territory we are in.
Therefore, our people have always lived in dire straits, and we had no choice but to move to other places! It was that one time that brought us annihilation.
"Dragon Canyon is a wonderful place! At least I think it's very important to us! It's rich in resources, with all kinds of fruits and creatures everywhere."
The dragons living there, after eating and drinking their fill, would waste their food, which made me very indignant, so we launched an attack on them.
Hundreds of thousands of our compatriots died in that battle! Since then, our people have never dared to set foot there again; I can still smell the lingering scent of our people there!
As he spoke, Sean's eyes reddened, showing that he was truly moved this time.
But Lu Yuan sighed.
The other side portrayed the invasion as something so righteous and honorable.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but wonder if he had helped the wrong person.
After a while, he turned to look at Lu Yuan: "When shall we set off? You set a time!"
"We have three days to prepare, and then we'll set off!"
"Okay, no problem!"
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Sean leave.
After returning home, Xiao Shan piled the things she had sorted out in the corner. Seeing that Lu Yuan's gaze was fixed on the outside, she couldn't help but go up to him and ask softly, "What's wrong? You look preoccupied!"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that this Sean seems a bit different from the one we knew before!"
Xiao Shan was slightly taken aback: "It's not quite the same. I think it's great. He's still so polite and eager to learn!"
"Being studious and polite is a good thing, but he went too far. Don't you feel that he's been constantly absorbing something from our human civilization?"
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xiao Shan couldn't help but look at Lu Yuan: "It's a good thing that apes are eager to learn; he wants to change his life!"
"But I feel that this might threaten our human lives. I'm wondering if we made a mistake in choosing to help him in the first place!"
Xiao Shan burst into laughter after hearing this. She gently squeezed Lu Yuan's hand and said, "Have you been watching too many movies again? I told you to read less of that Planet of the Apes book, but you never listen!"
Lu Yuan could only manage a wry smile.
Xiao Shan is right. He has been thinking about this matter all this time. He has watched the movie "Planet of the Apes" over and over again.
He always felt that a subconscious crisis was brewing silently, which could erupt at any moment and trigger a crisis for humanity.
But now he can't find the slightest sign; it seems that everything is just his own guess.
He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the matter.
Three days later, everything was packed up.
They brought a very comprehensive set of supplies this time, including various survival supplies for emergencies, as well as insect repellents they had developed themselves and supplies for use in the jungle.
After making preparations, Lu Yuan checked their equipment again, and then everyone followed the ape tribe onto the road.
The canyon is very long, leading all the way to a very, very deep place.
In the early stages, they traveled together with a golden eagle and arrived at a place he called the canyon.
After everyone landed, Sean pointed ahead and said, "Dragon Canyon is just ahead. If you go any further, I won't be able to see you off any longer. I hope you have a safe journey!"
Lu Yuan glanced in the distance and saw that the canyon was very deep, with strange rocks on both sides and a winding path in the middle that seemed to have no end in sight.
"Okay, we'll be careful. Goodbye!"
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he waved to the people behind him, and they all shouldered their luggage and started walking towards the canyon.
The initial location allowed Lu Yuan and his group to experience what desolation truly meant.
There was not a single shred of vegetation in the entire canyon, and there was not even water nearby.
The wind in the middle is very strong, and the wind blowing over it can take away the body's temperature and moisture.
Therefore, they had to wear thick protective suits to ensure that their body temperature and moisture were not excessively lost.
This slowed everyone's pace considerably, and the rugged, rocky road finally made Lu Yuan realize what the wonders of nature truly meant.
Even with his exceptional stamina, he only managed to walk nearly two kilometers in an hour.
"This is so difficult to walk through! How long will it take us to get through this passage?!"
Shen Hu complained behind him, feeling that even though he used to be a mutant, he couldn't withstand the torment of this kind of terrain after mutating back.
