Chapter 3: His Secret

At this time, the sun seemed to be amazed by Jack's courageous words, striving to shine on this vibrant old continent, making the mountains and forests in the distance particularly beautiful.

Turks turned his head to look at Jack, "Don't you think this continent is full of dangers?" Jack looked at Turks' strange and mysterious eyes, not knowing what to answer.

It is true that what has happened in the past month or so has really made Jack feel big, but he doesn't want to go home with questions and a lot of monsters in his heart, he is here to explore, to discover the "New World", to let the people of Chau Island have a new life, and also for the last wish of his dead friend Johnson.

Jack told Turks what he thought, and Turks looked at Jack like a prisoner with a dark face, and said, "I don't think this place is suitable for you as an ordinary person, and the Missus ......." Tex's words stopped abruptly at this point, and then immediately continued: "And those apes in the Holy Ape Country don't allow you to stay here." Jack was a more alert man, and noticed something unspoken by Tex.

"Turks, where is Missus?"

"Did I say that? Oh, that's wrong. ”

"No, you said it clearly, Mi-Soviet-country. ”

Jack's tone was firm, and his eyes were pressed to Tex, hoping that Tex would face up to his problem. Turks had been talking about other things, but Jack wasn't interested, and from the moment he decided to stay on the continent, he had a heart to get to the bottom of it.

What was Tex hiding? Jack just wanted to know the cause of all these recent dream-like events.

"Tex!" Jack raised his voice, stopping Tex, who was rushing forward to dodge, "I know there is no Prox at all!" Tex's stopped, froze. Jack continued: "How can it be such a coincidence! A thousand years ago, the escape boats sent by many governments arrived on our island, and there were obviously no other survivors! What are you hiding!?" Turks stopped, sat helplessly on the grass by the side of the road, and sighed.

"Actually, I don't want to involve you, if I were you, I'd rather leave this continent when I have the chance", Turks spoke: "You are an alien race, although you are also a descendant of humans, but this continent is really not suitable for you to live." "So, you tell me everything you know," Jack stubbornly wanted to hear what Tex was about to say, and he sat down next to Tex.

At this time, Tex's eyes suddenly became extremely sad, and he was separated for a while: "Okay, then I'll tell you all about this idiot." ”

It turned out that a thousand years ago, when the disaster came, due to the storm raid on the seaside, most of the rescue ships that had been prepared were destroyed by the wind and waves, resulting in many, many desperate refugees who could only stay in the Old World.

In the days when the war broke out, refugees fled in all directions, and some of them trekked deep into the snow-capped mountains of Tana in the northwest, hoping to stay away from the center of the war. However, the 10,000-year-old snow there has also melted due to the increase in the surface temperature of the continent. It was at that time that amazing things happened that changed the entire Old World.

The Missus, the country that Tex's mouth had flown before, was its first king, one of those refugees. After the snow melts in Tana Snow Mountain, countless strange gases are spewed out of the mountain every day inside the snow-capped mountain, and many people are panicked about it. At this time, a man named Fena volunteered to go into the cave on the mountain alone, and many people sighed for him, thinking that he would die.

However, a few days later, Fenner returned to the refugee colony on the head of a giant serpentine monster. The monster was larger than all the land animals of the time, with a body as long as five hundred meters, and its shadow blocked the sunlight and overshadowed the mountains and forests, and only its large mouth could be seen in the distance!

King Fena is said to have gained mystical powers from the serpentine monster, and he returned to the interior and, with the help of divine powers, restored the land of his homeland that had been in tatters at the time, and brought all things back to life, and Fena was elected king.

Later, the people of Missus believed that the monster was a divine beast, and the power it brought was able to ignite life, so they called this monster the "Holy Light Divine Beast", and the mysterious power it brought was called the "Spirit of Recovery". Although the "Spirit of Recovery" cannot save the lives of humans or other animals, the "Spirit of Recovery" still makes the mountains, rivers, land plants, etc. in Missus become vibrant, and there is no post-disaster scene at all.

When Jack heard this, he suddenly remembered the rumors about the monsters of the Old World on the island of Zhou, as well as the horns, and involuntarily connected with this holy light divine beast a thousand years ago, and he wanted to know if the monster that killed so many Garlanders could be this rumored divine beast, because according to Tex's description, the two are too similar!

Turks looked at the distracted Jack and waved his hand in front of his eyes, "Hey, are you thinking about that mythical beast? Don't doubt it, it's the one you met with your people." When Jack heard this, anger and sadness struck at the same time, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, what a divine beast, it's obviously a beast that harms people!" Jack clenched his fist and smashed it to the ground beside him, and the fist fell on the pebble and was stained with blood.

Tex patted Jack's shoulder quietly: "I know you're angry, it's normal, this beast doesn't know how many people have been harmed." But I promise, you'll be deflated by the words below. Jack suppressed his anger and listened as Turks continued.

A thousand years ago, King Fena of Missus built an altar for this beast that brought life, and he took care of and worshiped it every month, and Fena also kept the mountains and rivers of Missus peaceful for decades because of the power given by this beast. However, things took an unexpected turn on the day of Fenner's death.

At that time, Feina, before he died, asked his subordinates to worship the Holy Light Divine Beast well, who knew that as soon as Feiner took a breath, the Holy Light Divine Beast was like crazy, spit out a glowing spirit stone from his mouth and then rushed out of the holy altar, all the way to the east, and disappeared.

In the past thousand years, there have been occasional fishermen who have gone out to sea to claim to have seen the Holy Light Beast, but it has become violent and has become a sea monster without a spirit. Later, it was rumored that the spirit stone spit out of the mouth of the divine beast back then was actually the gathering of the divine power of the divine beast, as long as the divine beast and the spirit stone were combined into one, the divine beast would return to the original appearance of protecting the peace of the mountains and rivers.

"So, in fact, this monster is still a mythical beast with only feelings in legends?" Jack gradually faded from his face with some anger on his face, and Tex continued.

Tex asked, "Do you want to know, why am I in the Holy Ape Country?" Jack replied without hesitation, "Yes!" Tex said again: "Okay, you promise me that after listening to this, you will find a way to get out of here by boat, and I will show you the way to avoid the sea where the mythical beasts are often haunted, okay?"

Jack patted his chest and immediately made a promise, but in fact, what he thought in his heart was, Cut, I have decided to stay, how could I leave because of a few words from you, I am a person with ideals and ambitions. Turks then continued.

The problem is that the bounty of the earth will not be left to one party alone. A thousand years later, that is, ten years ago, Gabo, a minister of the Missus, because he was dissatisfied with the rule of the current monarch of the Missus, Keryn, secretly infiltrated the snow-capped mountain called Tana, that is, the place where the mythical beast was found, and threatened to bring back the ancient divine power to destroy the Missus. Miraculously, he really brought back the mysterious spiritual power from there, and encouraged his subordinates and some people who were officials together to establish a kingdom on their own, called the Kingdom of Vedia. The kingdom of Victoria aggressively exploited the surrounding lands and expanded its territory.

Gabo, the king of Navidi, is said to possess a number of terrifying spiritual powers, and he threatened to expel the Missus from the continent in ten years, and renamed the continent after the snow-capped mountains that were the source of divine power, the Tana Frontier. And one of Gabo's terrifying abilities is to bring wisdom to life.

Speaking of this, Jack interrupted Tex: "Wait a minute, one of the abilities of Gabo, the king of the kingdom of Vedia, is to bring wisdom to life?" Tex: "Yes, we call it the Spirit of Wisdom", Jack thought as if he understood something. Turks continued, "Yes, that's how the Sacred Ape Nation came about. In fact, it is a very small country, only a quarter the size of Missus, and a tenth of the size of Vedia, but the trouble is in this quarter. Jack asked, "Why, why are you in trouble?"

At that time, after Gabo gave apes wisdom comparable to that of humans, the apes broke away from the mountains and barbarism, and established a state on their own, forming a triangle with the Missy and Vedic kingdoms on the southeast coast, with the holy ape kingdom in the southernmost direction, the Missy kingdom in the eastern direction, and the Virdi kingdom dominating in the west.

King Gabo of the Vedic kingdom claimed to have obtained the "Spirit of the Flood", saying that it was a supreme spiritual power that could summon a devastating flood to flood the Missus Nation in retaliation for the discrimination he had suffered in the Missy Nation. But this power needs to be accumulated for ten years, and this year is the tenth yearβ€”the day when the crucifixion of the Missus Nation was declared.

Jack thought for a moment, isn't this the tenth year, and then asked Tex, "Then you should be from Missouz, right?" Tex nodded, and without waiting for Jack to ask, he explained himself: "I came to the Holy Ape Country to revive the spirit. "Jack is puzzled, the spirit of recovery has obviously disappeared, come to the Holy Ape Country to find it?

It all started 10 years ago. Ten years ago, in order to protect the people of his country from Gabo's cruelty, Koren, the king of the Missu Kingdom, sent people to find the spirit stone that was rumored to be the left behind of the Holy Light Divine Beast, and this search lasted for nine years. "Found?" asked Jack. Turks nodded: "Although I found it, the trouble also came." Because the spirit stone is under the seat of the king of the Holy Ape Kingdom. ”

Jack instantly understood something: "That's right, it seems that you were sent by King Coren to ask for spirit stones, you are their envoy." ”

Turks didn't answer immediately. His expression suddenly became solemn, he looked at the distant seashore, and exhaled a long breath, his eyes unblinking, as if what he was about to say next was enough to make the stars fall and the sun and moon lose their brilliance.

His trembling lips pressed against his teeth and squeezed out the words: No. I am a prince of Misso.

The evening wind blew Jack's body cold, he wanted to find a secluded cave to hide in and sleep, after yawning, Jack turned back and asked Tex: "Hey, prince, let's not brag for now, find a place to rest, tomorrow I have to think about how to return to the spirit stone." Tex reluctantly got up and followed Jack headlong into the twilight.
