These gorillas were really just trying to scare us and didn't attack me. Along the way, they didn't do anything big to us except for howling when we stretched out our hands to drive them away. So it didn't matter that we chatted all the way, but being threatened was still a bit unpleasant. Soon we passed through the monkey forest and arrived at the Claw Dragon Mountain area.
However, this area is different from what I imagined. First of all, I didn’t see the Jade Emperor Temple. I remember that when I was on the way to get the Golden Que Sword, there were many strange five elements around. Basically, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are used to suppress the Taiqiong Cave, but at this moment, it is just an ordinary mountain range. Except for the spring water overflowing from the cave, there is nothing else.
Even the wind in the valley was silent, as if the movement of the sky had never appeared. This made me think that they were all parallel worlds. Could it be that this spatial dimension was the selected space where these things did not exist?
In other words, this parallel world is a place where the Golden Que Sword does not exist, or it is a world where the Golden Que Sword has been taken away by someone else.
The monkeys pushed us up to the top of the mountain. This scene seemed familiar. Yunwen and I had experienced the same thing before, but the person next to me now was Su Yuexi, not Yunwen. However, history always repeats itself in a surprising way.
I reached the top of the mountain and saw the old gray animal again. It was still holding the Yinxi pot in its hand and leaning on a walking stick. In this world, it was not dead.
The gorillas talked to each other for a while, and I couldn't help but be cautious, but they didn't plan to take us to refine corpses. Besides, today was not a full moon night, and they didn't do this every day. For them, if they wanted to do those things, it would at least be useful when the yin energy was rising.
Sure enough, they pushed us into a cave here. Inside the pit was the burial area of Senior Li Mufeng. This was the same as the previous latitude world and had not changed.
But this is a good thing, because I already knew the structure of the cave and how to escape, so it is basically a waste of time for them to send us there. It is equivalent to sending us to an area where we can escape, which is a benefit. But since we have come here and fortunately survived, why waste it? The most important thing now is to quickly steal the Yinxi Pot. In this way, after we go to the cave, we can slip away along the escape passage and it will be no problem. But how to steal it?
There was no time to think about this now. When I was pushed in, I saw the poor gorillas again, especially the old, weak and sick ones. I had already figured out before that the reason they were trembling so much was because not only were some of them bullied by the strong gorillas outside, but they might also be selected to be used for corpse refining and prolonging life. They looked at me and I looked at them.
He was locked in the stone chamber and saw the embroidered spring sword left by Senior Li Mufeng hanging on the wall. The autobiography book with the words "A common man does not know the sword at this point" was also unchanged. There was nothing different here from before.
Su Yuexi and I sat down for a while, and my stomach started to growl from time to time. I thought about how I had been busy since I came here, and basically, apart from drinking water and eating some fruits, I hadn't eaten anything else. Now I was pushed up the mountain for nothing and walked so much, so it was inevitable that I was hungry.
Su Yuexi was fine, she was used to eating vegetarian food, so after eating some of the wild fruits and berries just now, she didn't seem to feel very hungry, but she also wanted to solve the problem of food and clothing for me.
At this time, the stone door opened again, and a frail gorilla came in, timidly handing over a cowhide letter. After I took it, it quickly retreated away. I saw that its body seemed to be a little deformed, and its joints such as the elbows seemed to be incoherent. I guessed that it might have been abused.
But we can also understand that with such a weak body, it is hard to be protected from bullying, especially by this special group of gorillas.
The letter paper should be made of kraft paper from the castle area. There was a blood-red ghost claw painted on it, which looked extremely creepy. I opened it and saw a kraft letter inside with a line of words written on it: "Welcome to my world, surrender to me, and you will be forgiven."
Then, there was a black pill next to it. No, to be precise, it was a small black stone. As expected, it wanted me to swallow it. After I swallowed it, the result would not be much better than Fan Chong's. After all, Fan Chong told me before that he was a normal person, but he changed after going to that mysterious space.
But he obviously lied, because he kept mentioning the Dark Lord's name afterwards, so the two must have had some communication, otherwise how could he know the other party's name, and have such respect for the other party, which shows that it was also caused by the experience of swallowing this stone.
"I don't quite understand why he wants everyone to turn into man-eating beasts. What is his intention?" I couldn't help but feel a little angry. I held the black stone and wanted to throw it away.
"I don't understand either. It seems to like bloodlust and to use it to create some monsters with horrible behaviors. But I do know one thing. It seems to like dead things. It likes the birth and death of things within its control. After all, I have tried to explore the West Island and have been to the cave of the Dark Lord. There are a lot of poisonous smoke and miasma there. Through some kind of spiritual perception, I can hear some kind of shrill screams echoing in the cave." She said.
"A shrill scream?" I asked.
"Well, if I'm guessing correctly, it needs some kind of nutrient, and this nutrient is related to death," she said.
"Never mind. Maybe he just has mental problems and is a serious sadist. I don't want to have anything to do with such a person." I said as I threw the black stone away.
Even though he threw it away, many doubts came to my mind from time to time. Since this guy likes to raise wild beasts, and most of them are like Fan Chong and me, who have successfully survived on the island and have a group of subjects in their hands, but at the same time he dare not invite us openly, but instead deals with it by taking us to other dimensional worlds, why is that?
After all, in this dimension, it already controls everything, and we only have a little ability in our original dimension, so why should it waste so much time and energy on this unnecessary thing? In addition, why does it like matter to go from birth to death, so it needs us to realize it for it, what exactly is it?
I only remember that in that tower, the records of the female doctor Lola said that there was a substance that was the culprit causing the entire island to have dreams become reality. Through various events, I increasingly felt that the substance had some inevitable connection with the Dark Lord, but now it seems that the two cannot be connected at all.
The monkey who delivered the letter was a little scared and hid aside, but Su Yuexi was patient. Although she did not know the language of all things, she was proficient in many languages. That was her talent in languages. Just like she could speak the language of the Wutu people, she seemed to have mastered some of the language of the orangutans. She pursed her lips and learned a few sounds.
The gorilla immediately became excited and ran out.
"Wow, you can do this?" I couldn't help but exclaim.
"I studied it when I was bored. Like I said, this is some kind of talent of mine, haha." She answered playfully.
He is obviously very capable, but he always behaves well in front of me. I am incredibly lucky.
Not long after, the gorilla brought in some wild fruits, which surprised me. It was really interesting to be able to eat something in this place. However, they were all some fruits and leaves. There were very few edible things, but it was better than being hungry. I still forced myself to eat a few bites. I couldn't help but miss the delicious meals made by Yunwen. I wanted to go back and eat them earlier.
While chewing the fruit, an idea suddenly occurred to me. I quickly turned around and held Su Yuexi's shoulders. She looked at me obediently and curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It listens to you so much, why don't you ask it to do me a favor and steal the Yinxi Pot for us," I said.
"Well, okay! But I will try to tell it to be careful and not get discovered." Su Yuexi said.
Once the plan succeeds, we will be one step closer to returning...
