Chapter 4: Confusion in the Heart

This is a small cave near the sea, Jack had encountered a "river whale" and an "orangutan" not far away a month ago, and now that he thinks about it, whether what Tex told him is real or whatever, he believes that the orangutan must also be spiritual.

At this time, Tex, who was lying asleep not far away, seemed very calm in the flickering firelight, but Jack could not sleep. He was thinking about all the secrets of Tana's frontier, and he tacitly believed that everything was true, after all, he had seen it with his own eyes.

Vidi, Missus, Sacred Ape, Resurrection Spirit, Tana Snowy Mountain, Nuclear Radiation a Thousand Years Ago, Gabo, Monarch Gabo, Miris Monarch, Holy Light Beast, including...... Lying Turks.

Tex's claim that he is the prince of Missus, and Jack cannot doubt or believe it. If the truth is as he said, then why did no one in the Missu Kingdom come to save him and leave his prince in prison for a year? What kind of hatred did Gabo have with Coren that forced him to destroy the Missu Kingdom with the "Spirit of the Flood"? Another question, if Gabo has divine powers, why did he have to wait ten years to fulfill his promise? What is he waiting for? What secrets are hidden in the spirit stones discarded by the Holy Light Divine Beast? Why did the Holy Ape Kingdom imprison the prince of the Missu Kingdom so coincidentally, and it happened to release him a year later?

The more Jack thought about it, the more he didn't understand, and he thought that if he could have a cigarette now, he would definitely take a few big puffs to quiet down. This Tana frontier is too mysterious, and I feel like I don't belong here at all. Jack got up and looked at the starry sky outside the cave, looking confused.

"Jack," Tex's soft voice suddenly came from the dark cave, "Why don't you sleep yet?" Jack turned back to the cave and sat by the fire, looking at Tex, who was lying with his head up, silent. Turks waited quietly for Jack's answer, and Jack responded to Turks with a puzzled look on his face.

"Sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow," Tex said and lay down again.

In the silence of the night, with nothing but the crackling of branches burning in the fire, Jack watched the firewood jump, and gradually closed his eyes.

The next day, when Jack wakes up, he finds that Turks is gone. He hurried out of the cave, fearing that the mysterious man who called himself the "Prince of Missus" would run away, take with him a great deal of secrets and disappear without a trace, or that something would happen to him, but he did not know where he would go or where to find them.

The sun has always hung on the sea in the east, but it is very benevolent to shine on this vibrant continent, and the ocean not far away is as set off with the same waves as ever, lapping against the continent that has existed for billions of years, and everything seems to be developing according to the laws of nature.

Jack thought about it and decided to give up looking for Tex, firstly because the cost was too great - what to do with his own life, and secondly, he was really powerless and had no clue.

He walked along the beach by the sea, his feet on the fine sand, looking at the end of the distant ocean, thinking of the Garland people of Chau Island. At this time, perhaps his parents are looking forward to his early return, and Sophia should miss him day and night. Sophia, a name that also makes him think about it day and night, a woman who has spent countless romances with him on Chau Island, is now coming to his mind like a dream. When people are lonely, they miss their loved ones.

But at the same time, the many secrets of the Tana Frontier attracted him all the time, Johnson's wishes, the expectations of the Garlanders, and he had to think about the question of whether to go or stay, and in order for the Garlanders to return to the Old World, the secrets of this mysterious place must be solved one by one.

"Jack, Jack!" suddenly came a hurried shout in the distance.

Is this a voice, is it Turks? Is he still here?

Jack quickly reacted and followed the sound to see that a panicked Turks was running towards him from the distant woods! Jack didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly ran towards Turks.

"Jack...... Jack, run!" Turks waved and shouted in the distance. Only then did Jack see that an orangutan, half the height of a tree, was chasing after Tex. Seeing this, he couldn't afford to think, so he just said one word, "Run"! Jack ran behind him desperately, and Tex didn't dare to stop as if he was dead, and continued to run.

"Tex! Hurry! Holy Ape Country!" Jack suddenly remembered where he had been a month ago when he had successfully escaped from the orangutan pursuit. Turks seemed to wake up, "What a clever fellow!" and gave a thumbs up.

At this time, the "orangutan" sped up on the soft sand of the beach like a fish in water......! Not to mention this giant ape with blade-like "claws" on the soles of its feet!

Tex, who was lagging behind, almost desperately wanted to speed up, but the size gap was there, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't add much speed, seeing that the orangutan was about to catch up, Tex made a sharp turn in a wit, and turned into the tangled bushes at the moment when the orangutan was about to pounce. The gorilla was obviously inflexible due to its huge body, and it rushed forward for twenty or thirty meters. This was an opportunity for Jack and Turks! Before the gorilla could turn in pursuit, they scrambled out of the bushes and ran to the Sacred Ape Boundary Stone, leaving the gorilla far behind.

Jack, who had stopped running, lay panting next to Tex, who was already exhausted, and it looked like Tex's had already run a long way before. Jack's mind couldn't fit anything in his head right now, and he was dizzy.

After a while, Jack slowed down and quipped to Tex, "You really have the ability to catch such a big piece of food, it should be lying on the barbecue grill waiting for you to eat it now." ”

Tex smiled helplessly: "I just want to go to the woods to find you suitable wood to help you build a boat and leave." ”

"Leave? Jack quickly interrupted him. Yes, Jack has answered himself in the affirmative, and is determined to stay in the territory of Tana, unravel the secrets of all this, and then return to the island, and immigrate all the Garlandians to this continent, and start a comfortable and carefree life again. This is his great dream.

"You're such an idiot. Turks sarcastically mocked Jack mercilessly.

"Say whatever you want. Jack replied to Tex without looking back.

"Okay, okay, you're great, you're thinking about your people. ”

"Of course, I'm not like you, the country is dying, and I'm still lying here doing nothing. As soon as Jack said this, he immediately realized that something was wrong, but the words were overwhelming. He looked up at Tex.

At this time, Tex looked sad, as if he had a thousand helplessness. This look was definitely not pretended, and Jack could see that Turks was genuinely sad, which also confirmed Jack's suspicions - he was sure that Turks was at least really related to the Missies.

"Turks, how do we get to Miss?" Jack broke the silence first, after all, he said it himself, and he had to do it himself. Turks came back to his senses from the silence and said, "At sea. ”

Jack thought he had misheard and asked again, but Tex replied, "At sea." Jack looked at Tex in surprise, and for a moment did not know what words to use in response to Tex's resounding answer.

He knew that it was unlikely that he would pass through the Holy Ape Country in front of him and go to the Missu Country in the northeast, and he didn't know if he would be stunned by those nasty monkeys as soon as he stepped into the inner side of the boundary stone, or some simpler and rude way to finish them off, the monkeys were not kind. However, on the side of the boundary stone, I don't know how many five-meter-tall gorillas are hiding waiting for them, and they can't live in the future, and the only way is to go to sea - go north along the coastline and directly reach the country of Misu. But could the so-called Holy Light Divine Beast that buried the Garland warriors at the bottom of the ocean still await them in the depths of the ocean? No matter what, it is now a violent monster with no spirituality to speak of.

Jack silently weighed the two options: one was to venture through the heavily guarded kingdom of the Holy Ape, and the other was to take a boat along the coastline to reach the country of Misu in the north. At this time, Turks spoke: "Jack, I know what you're worried about, but have you forgotten what I told you yesterday? ”

Jack breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, yes, what Tex said yesterday could guide him to a safe route back to Chau Island, which must mean that Tex knows where it is safe. "Then what are you waiting for, find something to eat, and then build a boat and set off!" Jack suddenly came to his senses.

Turks, however, remained motionless, as if pondering something. Jack just got up and sat down again: "Well, what's wrong, isn't there a safe route, what are you waiting for?"

Tex's face suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy at this time, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable. Jack was anxious, and couldn't bear Tex's back and forth, giving hope and leaving suspense: "Oh! Hurry up, what's wrong? Could it be that there is something else in the sea besides that monster?" This time, Jack got the answer: "Hmm".

A panicked Jack thought to himself, and hope turned into a bubble again. He hated the weirdo sitting in front of him a little. Obviously said that he could go to sea safely and reach the Missy country smoothly, but now there is such a thing, what to do, and let people not have a good time. Forget it, no matter what it is, it will be dead horizontally and vertically, even if there are ten more divine beasts, Lao Tzu will have to pass!Jack clenched his fists.

"Tex, tell me, what is it. In a soothing tone, Jack begged Turks to say a term that would scare him. Unexpectedly, Turks said, "Shark." Jack almost didn't laugh out loud: "Are you talking about sharks?" he thought to himself, when Lao Tzu used to be on Chau Island, he took Garland's children to play shark fishing every day, and now you tell me that there are sharks in the sea? Jack quickly spat out what was in his mind to Tex, who was very calm, and only glanced at Jack before replying to Jack: "You are wrong, this is not your Garland Island, this is Tana." ”

Jack has a hunch that this guy is going to bring him some "surprises" again, there are too many surprises he has encountered these days, and it doesn't matter if there is another one. But Tex's eyes, serious and nervous, made him realize that this time, he was going to start dealing with the monsters in the sea head-on.
