Chapter 318
Dumb Insect always envied of Chu Yunsheng’s ability to send out a long and complicated message fast. This was something that no matter how hard it tried to learn, but it still couldn’t do it.
Old Purple was just focusing on crawling. The funny thing was that it was quite scared of Chu Yunsheng’s ability as well. Because of its ability to compile a message was even worse than Dumb Insect, so it was scared to talk to Chu Yunsheng.
But it didn’t expect that even if it pretended that it was busy, Chu Yunsheng still wanted to talk to him.
“Old Purple, why do you guys still stay here, if you have enough fire energy? Why didn’t you guys leave?”
Old Purple suddenly trembled a little, then it tried its best to compile a message, “Dumb… Insect… said… You… alive… We… Must… find… find… find… you…”
The purple flames on its head burst out three times when it tried to say find you. It was very obvious that it was struggling.
Old Purple was relieved when it finished the message.
Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second. Although Min and he both told them before that the first priority was the mission, he did not expect that those insects would stay in this dangerous place and look for him.
As his sight was zoomed in, he noticed that the hill didn’t look natural…
“…God’s wrath drew nears, thus blessing was lost…”(mournful noise)
‘It was a circular mound altar! How can it be…’ Chu Yunsheng was shocked.
“Blades, swords, armors, and war banners were raised!”(mournful noise)
‘What the fuck is that!’ Chu Yunsheng was terrified. As his sight got closer and closer to the altar, he realized that the piles of crystals he saw earlier were actually crystal human skulls. There were even more on the stairs of the circular mound altar. But the ones that were on the stairs had a complete body. However, all of them were on their knees facing the center of the altar.
“Point of no return now, purge all heretics.” (mournful noise)
Chu Yunsheng’s sight finally stopped zooming in and it was locked onto an ancient tripod.
“Great foes swamp like clouds, warriors were vowed;” (mournful noise)
The tripod glowed every time when the voice appeared. It was the source of the voice and the green light.
Suddenly the voice speeded up and the light started to flash fast.
“…Miles after miles of corpses laid, sun, moon were dimmed…
…Our own kinds were mourning, our land was in ruins…
…Mistakes after mistakes, way too shameful to live…
…Once souls return, the past shall catch up…
…Once souls return, darkness shall fall…
…Once souls return, …
…Matter not countless millenniums, deities are eternal…
…When heaven and earth are unsealed, war will be back….”
Chu Yunsheng didn’t know why he would understand this, but the voice was like a sharp knife carving every word into his mind.
The green light was flashing faster and faster, and he didn’t know why he began to get more and more angrier.
‘What’s wrong with me? What is that Voice?’ Chu Yunsheng felt like he was about to lose control of his emotions. He even had tears running down from his face.
“Did you hear anything?’ Chu Yunsheng asked anxiously.
“Wh… hat…?” Dumb Insect was confused. All other insects had left already.
“The voice, the song…” Chu Yunsheng answered quickly. He didn’t like this feeling of sadness and regret at all. Especially when it was being forced into his mind. He felt like he was being manipulated.
“No…” Dumb Insect was upset all of sudden.
It really wanted to hear songs. Because it remembered that Chu Yunsheng told it that songs were wonderful things.
“Why… why…!” Chu Yunsheng felt like he was on the edge of emotional breakdown, “Little Green, quick! Take us to leave here!” He urged.
He needed to get away from here. Get away as far as he could and never come back!
He must be hallucinating at the moment! It must be!
Chu Yunsheng didn’t know why he would have a sudden urge to run away from here. He was scared to even face everything here.
Perhaps Little Green felt that Chu Yunsheng was about to lose control of himself, it instantly speeded up and picked up Dumb Insect and Chu Yunsheng at the same time. It then quickly flew out of the cave through the pipe they fell in.
The circular mound altar was further and further away from him, but the song in his mind was still loud and clear.
At the moment when he flew out of the pipe, A strange sigh appeared in his mind. “… one day, you will be back again, we will all be back again, to make up the… heinous… sin… we… committed….”
“No… no… no… you have mistaken me as someone else, I am just passing by… No… no… it has nothing to do with me… No…” Chu Yunsheng was struggling, he was constantly twisting his body trying to get rid of that sigh.
However, inside his mind, there seemed to be another “him” laughing loudly and coldly at him while he was struggling.
At the same time, he was repeating the same song he heard in the cave.
“… When souls return… Return… Return…” it was like his inner demon constantly haunting him making him suffocate.
“Screech!”
Chu Yunsheng couldn’t hold it anymore, he screamed out loud and struggled even more violently.
Little Green almost dropped him.
Dumb Insect quickly used its claws to restrain Chu Yunsheng.
It was at the same moment, a strange force burst out from the monster seal talisman rushing all the way into his head to comfort his mind. A few seconds later, Chu Yunsheng finally calmed down.
When Chu Yunsheng finally came back from chaotic status, he was already in the tunnel Old Golden dug.
“What happened?” He asked other insects. However, no one was able to answer him.
“Oh right, the song. But why? Why did I shed tears? Why did I feel regret? What happened?” He asked himself, but still, he didn’t have any answers. However. He could still remember every single word of that sad song clearly as if they had been engraved into his soul.
While Chu Yunsheng was trying to figure out what happened to him, all the insects were looking at him and waiting for his instructions.
Because there were two cracks in front of them.
According to the map left by the soldier, one of the cracks would lead them to the ground, and the other one would lead them to the third level below the ground.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t hesitate when choosing the route. He didn’t want to stay at this place a second longer.
He would rather face the spore forest above the ground than the strange circular mound altar below the ground.
