Chapter 74 The Water in Pangu Continent is Deeper than Imagined
"Let's try to look for it... If nothing works, we can only run away."
Lu Yuan rummaged through boxes and took out a pile of old documents.
Nothing can withstand the erosion of time. The lifespan of acid-free paper is only two hundred years.
The lower the level of the files, the more susceptible they are to moisture, and a lot of the writing becomes unclear.
He could only pick out some that were barely acceptable.

[On * month * day, a large-scale serial disappearance incident: people continue to disappear on the edge of the city, suspected to be the interference of unknown super powers from the outside world. ]
[The final number of missing persons is 44. ]
Lu Yuan's eyes can help with translation, so his reading speed is quite good.
【File 1, the post published by the first missing person. 】
The specific content of this post is as follows:
[Hello everyone, I am a farmer near the city. I have been farming on the farm on the edge of the city to provide food for you. ]
[As you know, there are always monsters watching outside the safe zone. Some of them are weird and scary.]
[The safe zone seems to be hidden in space. As long as we ignore them, they can't do anything to us. ]
[But a very scary thing happened these days. I found that part of the soil was oozing red liquid, just like blood, forming a small blood pit. ]

【(Comments from a bunch of netizens)】
The photo is blurry, probably because it has been specially processed.
[In fact, this kind of thing happens all the time. You are not farmers, so you don’t know it at all. In our circle, there is a jargon that is not made public, called...living sacrifice.]
[Pangu Continent sometimes wants to devour flesh and blood. Just buy some livestock and bury them there to satisfy this land. Next year's harvest will be exceptionally good! ]
[This is common knowledge in the industry, so don't make a fuss. Recently, there are more and more blood pits that need to be sacrificed alive. ]
[If there is no sacrifice, these pits will become bigger. ]
When Lu Yuan saw this, he frowned.
He confirmed it several times and confirmed that this was indeed a top-secret file and not some folk story.
[(Some netizens’ comments below, most of them scolded the farmer for being feudal and superstitious, and some questioned how their food could be grown in such soil and still be eaten by humans.)]
[Anyway, I bought some meat and threw it into the little red pit.]
[A strange thing happened. That piece of flesh slowly turned into my face.]

This photo was once again specially processed, and only the two eyes were clear... empty, out of focus, and with a cold and dead silence.
Those eyes were staring at him intently. There was no bloody or horrible scene, but it made his scalp tingle and he broke out in a cold sweat.
The extraordinary spark in Lu Yuan's mind flashed, and only then did he suppress this inexplicable panic.
But the post ends here.
The following is the text added by the investigator himself.
[Subsequent investigation: The poster was found buried in a dirt pit, and his facial expressions and movements were exactly the same as in the photo.]
[At the same time, the 43 forum members who saw the photo were all buried in the nearby soil. According to surveillance footage, they buried themselves and lost their vitality.]
[Only one person with Level 2 Supernatural Fire resisted this fear and survived. ]
[Post-event analysis: This unknown ability is suspected to be spread through photos and has the ability to manipulate the mind, allowing the farmer to post the post.]
[Subsequent treatment method: All soil on the farm is burned at high temperature and covered with concrete, and the phenomenon of "living sacrifice" is strictly prohibited. ]
[The original photo has been destroyed, and the remaining copies have been processed and are no longer capable of being disseminated. ]
In the end, Meida Civilization never figured out what was going on in this case.
So it is classified as a "mysterious phenomenon that cannot be understood."
Lu Yuan couldn't help but be shocked. In other words, some abilities can actually go beyond the "safe zone".
Of course, the monster’s real body still can’t come in.
It may be quite difficult to "surpass" this ability, otherwise it would be impossible to just burn it once and then pour some concrete to clean it up.
"Damn it, just looking at the photo could lead to it being spread. Apparently, we can't just look at the papers here."
What surprised him even more was that the water in Pangu Continent was indeed deeper than he had imagined.
The safe zone doesn’t seem to be absolutely safe... Of course, "God" doesn't seem to guarantee absolute safety either. It just gave it this name. Anyone who believes in it is a fool.
Lu Yuan plucked up his courage and read the next few reports.
[Incomprehensible supernatural phenomena (Meda Civilization Top Secret File No. 109711). ]
【Author: Guangcha Qu. 】
[On * month * day, the cat-faced old lady incident: In a residential building, an elderly person turned into a cat-faced old lady, completely lost her mind, and attacked single males at night. ]
【The number of missing persons was 2 in the end.】
[The specific content is as follows: …]
【Cause of formation: unknown. 】
[Handling method: After capturing it, destroy it physically through the light curtain of the safe zone. ]
"What kind of weird file is this?"
There were also various "resurrection cases" and "giant rat cases in the subway", which made him feel scared.
Fortunately, most of these strange things happened in the middle and late Eighth Era, which is ten thousand years later.
The frequency of occurrence in the early stage is actually not high.
Or rather...almost nothing.
…
"Alas, I only found some ghost stories, but still no information about the donkey-headed monster."
Lu Yuan simply moved the papers from several cabinets into the storage space, and then went to the room where the big metal ball was and looked at them slowly.
Every time a paper is viewed, it is viewed in front of the camera, which is equivalent to the human side also receiving it.
"Hello everyone, these are the special events that the Meda civilization encountered. They make me a little nervous."
Lu Yuan deliberately showed the photo of the dead man's eyes in front of the camera for a while longer.
"Everyone, please watch it with me. It's all valid information and very valuable!"
According to the law of conservation of smile: the smiles on countless people's faces disappeared.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
These smiles obviously shifted to Lu Yuan's face.
He was indeed very happy.
The writing system of the Meda civilization is different from mainstream human languages such as Chinese, English, and Spanish, so Lu Yuan specially translated some of the papers into Chinese.
But that’s all. There are at least 100,000 articles here, and it would take him dozens or even hundreds of years to translate them all.
Therefore, he did not translate the rest and was happy enough to be able to go through it once in front of the camera.
Humans must decipher the writing system of the Meda civilization based on the translation he just made, and then read these articles by replaying the video.
As for whether it can be deciphered? This is not something Lu Yuan should worry about! Please, I can handle the translation problem by myself.
You can do it, right? He was busy until midnight. Lu Yuan yawned. He read a lot of ghost stories, but still couldn't find what he wanted...
"There is no information about the donkey-headed monster, nor any information about the 'demon'..."
"Alas, the Meda civilization has never fought with creatures from the outside world. Perhaps they have observed the 'demon', but they were unable to distinguish it."
In essence, all "ghost stories" are just the "abilities" of some powerful being.
The later the era, the more powerful beings there are, and naturally the more "ghost stories" there are.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan no longer had anything to worry about. The most frightening thing in the world was the unknown, but now that it had become known, there was nothing to be afraid of.
If he could live to the late era, he might be stronger than those ghosts.
So he waved to the big metal ball: "Good night, go to sleep! We'll talk tomorrow!"
He returned to his bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.
…
…
The next morning, Lu Yuan woke up with the sun as usual.
But today there was one more thing, I said hello to the big metal ball: "Good morning, a new day!"
His leisure time was gone and he went out early in the morning.
Lu Yuan has his own things to do.
A year's plan begins in spring. He has to plant the potatoes, as well as seasonings such as onions, ginger, garlic, etc.
He even planted a few pomegranate seeds, hoping to grow a new pomegranate tree... Well, he was a bit greedy.
By the way, he also wanted to build a fence around the farmland to prevent the crops from being destroyed by wild animals.
The farming genes of the Dadong people allow him to enjoy and be happy in the farming process.
What could be more worth looking forward to than being able to get a stable harvest after working hard?
There is another more important thing, Lu Yuan has to patrol the surroundings.
Pangu Gray Wolf is not a powerful species, but it has its own territory.
If there are footprints, smells, and feces of unknown creatures, you must be careful. Many wild animals will launch night attacks, so you must take precautions.
But a very strange thing happened today. After he climbed up a big tree, he saw the migration of a large army of scorpions.
Looking down from the high slope, the largest scorpion king is 20 meters long and moves like a large armored tank.
The carapace of its entire body was purple, and the barb on its tail, which contained a deadly poison, glowed with a lavender light.
[Scorpio: A mutant scorpion that has lived for at least 400 years. It has a wealth of combat abilities. Due to years of evolution, it may be smarter than other scorpions.]
[It prefers soft and juicy insects, and occasionally eats some plants. ]
[Note: The hook on the tail contains a deadly poison.]
【Shape: 28.3-30.1】
【Air: 14.6-19.2】
【God: 1.8-2.1】
【ability:???】
[Superb level: most likely level 4. ]
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes. Wow, there are nearly 30 points of form attribute but only 2 points of spirit attribute.
The distribution of these three-dimensional attributes is too biased.
This mighty army, composed of tens of thousands of scorpions, headed southwards. It was unknown where their final destination would be...
That’s all for today’s update, it’s the 5th update!
