The human race’s only descendants? The woman was saying it too fast and her pronunciation was also very strange. Chu Yunsheng was also extremely anxious, so he didn’t hear it clearly.
But that monster seemed to be controlled by her.
Chu Yunsheng was finally relieved when the monster and the woman left. The pressure he got from the monster was the same as the pressure he got from the flaming bird.
Tian Gui has returned, thousands of laws would become one. The situation was getting more and more complicated, but Chu Yunsheng still didn’t know what was going on, and what he needed to do. However, he had a strong feeling that something was coming and his time was limited.
He had to decipher the symbols as soon as possible. The senior practitioner must have written down something.
“You are Chu? Mr. Chu?” Zhou Tingyun asked cautiously.
Although the colour of the armour has changed slightly, the shape of the armour still looked very like the one in her memory. Especially that sword, Mr.Chu was the only person she could think of.
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head. He suppressed the panic caused by the woman in the white dress and asked, “only you? Where is the rest?”
“They probably have already arrived at Jin Ling city, I fell behind the team and got lost during the chaotic escape.” Zhou Tingyun was upset.
“But you are still alive. Nothing is better than that, Jin Ling city is not far from here. You need to hurry up.” Chu Yunsheng smiled. This girl who used to be bullied by Qian Deduo was very lucky. It was definitely not easy for her to get to this far.
“Your girl… Your friend is still alive, right? She should be alive. After you left, Qian Deduo gave one of his places to her. I got lost after that, so I didn’t know what happened later on. If there aren’t any accidents, they should have arrived in Jin Ling city by now.” said Zhou Tingyun.
“My friend?” Chu Yunsheng was confused for a second, then he suddenly remembered Lin Shuiyao, who he had already forgotten about.
“Yes, Qian Deduo told me that your friend was a very famous celebrity,” said Zhou Tingyun, while trying to tie her messy hair up. Because of hunger, she looked extremely weak.
Qian Deduo this person was very nosy, he was almost like Xiaohai. But those were the past, and they were not on the same boat now. So, whatever happened to them, it didn’t really matter to him now.
“I still have things to do, I need to leave first. If you need my help, go to the Western District.” Chu Yunsheng smiled. He picked up the sword and wanted to leave. He still needed to find a golden-shelled insect. There weren’t many insects from here to Jin Ling city. So they should be safe. Especially that he and the little tiger had already wiped out most of them earlier.
“Tingyun, those two old people are too slow. I can’t take them with us anymore. The whole team is slowed down by them!” a young man dressed in black, knitted his brows and said.
“Brother Lin, we had an agreement, also we are almost there. It’s just after this mountain!” Zhou Tingyun was not happy about the man’s complaint. This old couple was Dong Shen University’s lecturers. In the age of light, Zhou Tingyun’s family was very poor, so she received a lot of help from this couple. That was also the reason why she fell behind the escort team.
“Yes, we did have an agreement, but the situation is different now, the old man’s legs are injured, he can’t even walk. Everyone is exhausted, no one is able to carry him. It was because of him that we were trapped by the insects! We are indeed near Jin Ling city, but it doesn’t mean that we can stop being careful! We simply can’t afford another mistake!” Lin Junchi firmly said.
He didn’t want to argue with her. In fact, he liked her, but it didn’t mean that he was going to change his mind. When the armoured man appeared, he had a glimmer of hope, because Zhou Tingyun seemed to be familiar with the man. But he did not expect that the armoured man would just simply say a few words with her and then leave.
No one was sure that the journey later would be safe. They have already gotten this far. It would be a damn shame to die when they were just outside the city.
That was why he had a discussion with other awakened humans about whether they needed to abandon those old and injured people to speed up their pace.
“Brother Lin, please! If we encounter the insect again, I’ll fight them first. Oh… right, They are the professors at Dong Shen university. They are very important to the government…” said Zhou Tingyun, but her reason was not really convincing.
She was then suddenly interrupted by another girl, “Zhou Tingyun! Do you think you can fool us? He was just a useless literature lecturer, even your university has decided to leave him behind. Do you think the government will give a shit? Brother Lin has already helped you out so many times. So stop pretending! Stop trying to use them over and over!”
“You! I…”Zhou Tingyun wanted to argue, but she did not know what to say.
“Liu Meng, keep your mouth shut! ” Lin Junchi said coldly, “Tingyun, it’s everyone’s decision, I hope you will understand!”
Just when he finished, they suddenly saw a red figure running towards them. It was so fast that it even raised a cloud of dust behind.
This red figure was Chu Yunsheng.
When he ran past the crowd, he suddenly stopped, “why are you guys still here?! Run! Quick! There are many insects just right behind us! Run!…”
Chu Yunsheng did not get very far after he left the crowd. Then he discovered a golden shelled-insect that had just crawled out of the ground.
Originally, he wanted to sneak attack the golden-shelled insect, but he did not expect that more and more insects started to appear. Golden shells, green shells, red shells, he even felt that there were something huge hidden in the dark behind the swarm,
He quickly killed a few red-shelled insects that were approaching him and started to run back. He could not deal with this kind of swarm!
“Look, flying insects!” some people screamed while pointing at the sky.
The sound of the green-shelled insects’ screech was getting louder and clear.
The crowd started to panic.
“Xiao Zhou (Zhou Tingyun), hurry up and leave! Just leave us here. We are too old, and we don’t have many days left. You need to go!” Urged the old man whose legs were injured.
“Tingyun! Let’s go, now! Otherwise, it will be too late!” Lin Junchi shouted. The rest of the people did not even care about them anymore. They just turned around and started to run.
Lin Junchi gritted his teeth and dragged Zhou Tingyun away.
“Let me go!” Zhou Tingyun suddenly shouted and broke free. She ran towards the old couple and dragged them up, “I am not going to leave you behind!” She said resolutely.
Chu Yunsheng thought that this couple was Zhou Tingyun’s parents and he understood how difficult it was to see family members die in front of them. So since they used to be on the same team before, he wanted to help her out.
He quickly picked up the skinny couple, one person under each arm and said sternly, “follow me!”
The old couple were skinny, so they weren’t heavy. For Chu Yunsheng, it was not difficult to take them with him while running.
The little tiger had already started to run behind Chu Yunsheng.
Zhou Tingyun was dazed for a second, then she immediately started running.
Chu Yunsheng’s speed was too fast, and he was much stronger than Zhou Tingyun. Even though Chu Yunsheng was carrying two people, Zhou Tingyun still could not keep up with his pace.
Chu Yunsheng was worried that they would lose him, so he had to stop once in a while to wait for them.
The strange thing was, the swarm did not seem to want to push forward, they stopped moving right after they passed green dragon mountain. Chu Yunsheng did not know why, but he did not have time to think too much about it.
Only when they finally arrived at the first line of defence, did Chu Yunsheng finally have a chance to ask who those two old people were. After he heard that the old man was a linguistics professor, who specialized in grammatology, it instantly attracted Chu Yunsheng’s attention.
His symbol’s deciphering progress was not going very well. He was not a linguistic specialist, so it was very hard for him to understand anything, even though he had the relevant documents. He felt that the 500 words he learned from the book had reached his limit. He needed someone else to help him.
Nowadays, all kinds of dangers have started to emerge around Jin Ling city, but the cultivation method he had, reached a dead end.
This man had brought an idea to him. There must be more people, who specialized in linguistic study, in Jin Ling city, and because their study was not really useful now, they must have been ignored by the government.
He could ask Ding Yan to gather those people in secret, and then he could split the incantations into symbols and distribute those symbols to different people to study them. Then, after they deciphered the symbols, he would just need to gather that information and combine them again. It would be much easier for him to understand that way.
In that way, the deciphering progress would be much quicker. At least, it would be much quicker than having just one person studying it. He would also have spare time to focus on practising his cultivation.
