Chapter 617 Agenda

Our group rested underneath the ‘shade’ of a low-hanging tree. Though there was barely any shade right here since all the things was abysmally darkish. It nonetheless offered a darker cowl for us.

This small shade is sufficient to assist us cowl our presence from the predators roaming about within the Darkish Backyard.

Kyuu immediately got here out from my cloak and peeked out, trying round.

The troopers have been careworn as they noticed the Darkish Beast rising as soon as once more. On this area that’s darker than wherever, the Darkish Beasts normally can develop highly effective, and Kyuu appeared to be having fun with the ambiance.

His physique has little or no want for Qi and looks as if it’s having fun with the ambiance right here.

It then jumped down, checked out me, and on the distance.

“You need to hunt?” I requested it.

Kyu nodded.

“Then go forward, however ensure you keep shut, in case you really feel that you simply’re at risk, name out to us or come in direction of me,” I mentioned.

The Darkish Beast then immediately dashed towards the thickets and brushes close by. Disappearing.

“You simply depart it? Aren’t you afraid that it may be at risk?” requested Outdated Fu.

“Kyu is a feral beast, it must dwell and wrestle at risk. This is not the primary time I allowed it to journey to harmful areas. If I have been to coddle it and look after it like a pet cat, then it will lose the sharpness of its fangs and claws. She must hunt and prey upon beasts weaker than her to develop stronger, wrestle in opposition to beasts stronger than her, and survive to come back out to her full potential. Thus far probably the most harmful of beasts of this area had already gone to feast and can quickly go into slumber. Permitting her an important alternative to develop whereas an apex predator is asleep,” I mentioned.

“You suppose that that Obsidian beast will come again for us?” requested previous Fu.

I shook my head, “I do not suppose, I do know it is going to. And that is good, it is going to give us function and motive to continue to grow stronger and shifting ahead, none of us can take that factor on, not even my present self, I am too weak to struggle in opposition to that,” I mentioned.

“Even with that sword?” requested the captain.N0v3lRealm was the platform the place this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

I checked out creeping demise and mentioned, “This sword exhausts an excessive amount of of my inside Qi, with out me always supplementing myself with capsules, I will finally fall to exhaustion, I do not need to undergo my capsule reserves too early, since we don’t know how lengthy it is going to take for us to discover and depart this area,” I mentioned.

“I suppose not. The large skeletons of sea beasts have been proof that the world above this place was an unlimited sea. However because the skeletons themselves hadn’t absolutely disappeared or perished into mud, that signifies that not sufficient time had handed earlier than the Sea of Demons dried out,” I mentioned.

Outdated Fu appeared to know what I used to be about to say however one of many troopers nonetheless requested. “What does that imply? The Sea of Demons had dried greater than ten thousand years in the past.”

“Do you suppose that ten thousand years is sufficient for all times to emerge right here?” I requested him.

He opened his mouth and closed it.

“That signifies that this place was right here whereas the Sea of Demons was nonetheless stuffed with water… however how?” the soldier requested. “Additionally the walkers solely appeared after the Sea of Demons dried out, would not that imply that there ought to have been walkers when the Sea of Demons did not dry but?” he requested.

“The place is the literal sea of demons?” I requested

“Myths say that it’s the very clouds above the ocean… it had vaporized and went as much as make that eternal cloud,” he mentioned.

“That’s certainly a principle. Though I am unable to verify or deny it, the density and quantity of water in these clouds are irregular. But the actual query stays, when the ocean of demons was nonetheless in its former place and was stuffed with fish and sea monsters? How come the darkish backyard did not get swamped or drowned in water?” I requested.

“Maybe… the water by no means made it right here, the ocean of demons was in all probability above this cave, however by no means funneled into it,” Outdated FU mentioned.

“I got here to the identical conclusion,” I mentioned.

“However… is that even attainable?” requested the captain.

“There isn’t a motive for it to not be, in spite of everything, we went by means of one of many ‘chimneys’ of the darkish backyard. And bear in mind there’s a highly effective out draft that’s pumping air out of these chimneys. So even when it have been to rain, the fixed air will hold the pipes from funneling water inside.

This complete backyard was together with the Sea of Demons, and maybe these spores have been additionally right here. And even when these fungi have been to fly by means of the pipes and chimneys of the Darkish Backyard outdoors, there was no ‘cloud’ to cease the solar rays from burning the spores.

And there was nothing however countless water for the spores to land on after which die. Solely when the Sea of Demons dried out did the walkers begin rising. As a result of the drying of the ocean of demons created the proper surroundings for the fungi.

That are, darkness, humidity from the ambiance, and folks as an alternative of ants…”

“Then why have been tens of 1000’s of walkers stockpiled inside this cave, you suppose the fungi made them do this? Managed them just like the ants?” requested Outdated Fu.

I shook my head, “No, that was man-made. Keep in mind the cultists we met earlier than? And the timber. Somebody is utilizing this ‘pure’ habits to their function and agenda, we have to work out who and why, however proper now, we’re nonetheless lacking extra info on the matter, primarily the explanation… why would somebody need to plunge the Past in despair… and who would acquire from doing so?”
