Chapter 18: Life and Fall
“…”
Hearing this strange request, the two looked a little strange. Could it be that Lin Shan was the one who made them faint before?
No wonder it was not the weirdness but him that appeared in front of them now…
Suddenly, Xia Xuan found that Lin Shan was carrying something on his back. It seemed to be a chicken? But it was too big. She asked hesitantly: "What are you carrying?"
"It's a chicken. I caught it on the road. I want to take it back and raise it to see if it can lay eggs." Lin Shan casually brought the two chickens on his back to him.
"This chicken is too big." Xia Xuan poked it with her hand and said with a dumbfounded look on her face.
"It will be delicious." Zhao Xiaoan looked at the two chickens and couldn't help drooling. She almost forgot the taste of meat because she ate vegetarian food every day.
"It tastes very good." Lin Shan replied, "But I plan to keep these two and see if they can lay eggs."
"Can you let me keep them?" Xia Xuan said, and then patted her chest: "I am a professional in breeding."
Lin Shan glanced at her. This guy wouldn't want to eat the chicken he caught and deliberately make an excuse.
Zhao Xiaoan blinked and smiled: "Sister Xia Xuan is amazing. She takes care of all the animals in the camp, including this horse. She also tamed it."
Joint crime?
Lin Shan thought for a while and said: "It just so happens that I may not have time. It's best if you can keep it." Then he added: "This is an extraordinary chicken..."
"It's okay." Lin Shan was interrupted by Xia Xuan before he finished speaking: "We are also extraordinary now, so we can beat a chicken."
Xia Xuan was seen flashing with a faint white spiritual light. Although it was very thin, it was indeed an extraordinary spiritual gauze, but a pseudo-word should be added before the extraordinary.
Feeling the spiritual fluctuations, Lin Shan couldn't help but doubt whether she could really beat the chickens behind him. The spirituality of these two chickens was a little stronger than hers.
But it shouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, with him here, the chickens can't turn the world upside down.
"Then I'll leave this chicken to you." Lin Shan reminded: "Be careful."
The three of them talked all the way and soon saw a bonfire. There were more than a dozen people around the bonfire. A row of wooden houses could be vaguely seen behind the fire.
"We are back. Let's see who this is." Zhao Xiaoan shouted in the direction of the bonfire more than ten meters away.
"Why are you back so late? I was just about to look for you." Zhang Zhonghua's voice came.
"Are you... Lin Shan?" Someone with sharp eyes said in surprise: "You are still alive!"
Everyone was surprised that he could still survive in the gray fog for half a year. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a miracle.
Among them, Wu Wang and Jin Tianzong came over and hugged him directly. Wu Wang said excitedly: "Old Lin, I didn't expect you to be alive. Where have you been for the past six months?"
Lin Shan disdainfully pulled his hand away. Zhao Xiaoan didn't hug him either. I didn't expect you to succeed.
He smiled and said: "Sit down and talk slowly."
Everyone made an empty seat for Lin Shan. They all stared at Lin Shan in surprise, with expectations in their eyes. Obviously, they all wanted to hear his story.
Lin Shan found that there were not only humans sitting by the campfire, but also cat people, both men and women, but the green cat woman he saw earlier was not there.
Seeing that others were staring at him expectantly, Lin Shan was a little embarrassed. There was no long story. He just slept for half a year.
Pick out what you can say, remove the parchment and tell everyone what you can say. Everyone listened with relish. They didn't expect to encounter so many strange things in two days. The gray fog is really a dead place.
"So you are now truly extraordinary?" Zhang Zhonghua asked.
"That's right." Lin Shan nodded, without deliberately showing off his abilities.
The dinner ended happily amid the laughter of the crowd. After Lin Shan finished talking about his experience, he kept his head down and ate the gray steamed bun in his hand, without continuing to speak.
At night, Jin Tianzong asked Lin Shan to sleep in his wooden house, where he had extra beds. Although Lin Shan felt a little awkward, he still nodded in agreement.
In the evening, Lin Shan came to Zhang Zhonghua's house and found Wu Wang was there.
He got straight to the point and said, "I still have some materials left, which can help all of you become extraordinary. You can prepare them. I will collect some more materials in the next few days."
The only material missing was the ash of the strange line fish. With his current ability, it should not be a problem to be careful and take another 100g.
As for helping everyone achieve extraordinary, this was something he had thought of on the way. For him, it was just a matter of leading the way, and there were also many materials, but for others, this was a guarantee of survival in the alien world.
He is not a saint, but there are only so few people left in the world now. It would be an idiotic behavior to think about weakening teammates at this time. Besides, since everyone is a pioneer, they may not have their own opportunities. He has helped them first... Sometimes the favors given for free are the hardest to repay. If nothing unexpected happens, his status will be directly promoted to the core position of the human race.
Another point is that he still wants to go further on the extraordinary road. He wants to pursue a higher sequence. He doesn't want to look back in the future and not even have anyone to talk to.
"You go, it's just right that the three of us who have fallen bodies stay here to welcome the human race who are about to cross. Without strength, we can't move an inch in this gray fog world, and we can't lead the human race." Jin Tianzong said.
"What fallen body, and, is the crossing army coming?" Lin Shan was puzzled.
Zhang Zhonghua explained: "These are the information brought by the cat tribe. We are now in a cooperative relationship with the cat tribe. They are not cooperating with us, but with the future human race."
"According to the cat tribe, nine months after the pioneers crossed over, the tribe members will cross over one after another and will be scattered to various places in the gray fog world. The gray fog world is boundless. If you are unlucky, you may encounter strangeness and be wiped out as soon as you cross over..."
After a pause, Zhang Zhonghua continued: "The name of the jade book is the tribe artifact. There will definitely be tribe members crossing over near the tribe artifact. The exact number is unknown, but the crossing will continue. It is not just here. There will be countless human strongholds in the gray fog world sandwiched between the saw points of all races. If you encounter a friendly type like the cat tribe, it's okay. If you encounter some evil races, you can imagine the fate."
Hearing this, Lin Shan was a little confused: "What should people who cross over to other places do if they don't have a tribe artifact to dispel the gray fog? Do they have to live in the gray fog?"
"The tribe artifact is condensed by the luck of the race. As long as the number of people reaches a certain number, it will condense into a projection of the tribe artifact. The strength of the effect depends on the number of tribe members. The cat tribe next to us is like this. They don't use the tribe artifact itself." Zhang Zhonghua explained.
"How many years has the cat tribe been developing?" Lin Shan asked.
"This tribe has been in this world for 180 years."
"How far have they developed in 180 years?" Lin Shan asked.
"It's still in the agricultural age, without a complete industrial system. This is on the premise that tribesmen have come through and provided advanced knowledge." Then he added: "The level of technology in their original world is not worse than ours. Although there are differences, they basically have everything we have."
They have a complete civilization heritage, but they still stay in the agricultural age after 180 years. It can be said that it is extremely slow. There must be some factors that hinder development.
"What does the fallen body mean?" He thought of the fallen body mentioned by Wu Wang earlier.
Zhang Zhonghua said slowly:
"This is also the information we got from the cat. All living things are born with a physique, either a living body or a fallen body, which corresponds to two sequences of magic potions. The living body sequence uses natural treasures as the main medicine, and the fallen body sequence uses evil fallen as the main medicine. The two sequences focus on different directions. The living body controls all kinds of spiritual power, and the fallen body can transform into an evil fallen body with a very strong physique."
"The test method is very simple. Pure spirituality carrying gray light is a fallen body, and white light is a living body."
"Mage and warrior?" Lin Shan summarized it in five words.
"Yes." Zhang Zhonghua nodded and said, "The fallen body can only be a warrior, but the living body can be a mage or an assistant, mainly depending on the sequence ability."
Lin Shan nodded to show his understanding.
