Chapter 184: A Thousand Years of Solitude (19)

"What do you mean...... This 'predecessor ferryman' deliberately created a primitive and reckless world, but with faith and class? "I didn't understand it in a hurry.

"Maybe I can explain this question......" Zhou Daoan took over the topic, since the answer shared an important piece of information first, then as a teammate, Zhou Daoan was not stingy with the "secrets" he knew - anyway, this was what he heard from Fred in his last mission.

"I don't know if you know...... As a ferryman, the Ark not only gives us a rating, but also divides us into camps. As far as I know, order and chaos are two opposing camps, and there is no gray area in between......

"On the last mission, I met a high-ranking ferryman from the Order faction, and he told me that everything we did from the time we threw ourselves into the Ark mission had a factional bias. How to complete a task, although the ark gives us a goal, the process is explored by the ferrymen themselves.

"In other words, everything we do, everything we do in the primary mission, will affect the Ark's judgment of our faction. In my own case, it is likely that I have been relegated to the 'chaos' side by the Ark. ”

Zhou Daoan said with a wry smile that in the last mission, he helped the Son of Chaos descend, and that world may be turbulent in the future, so the Ark will definitely define him as a "villain".

After saying this, both the hurried and the answer showed thoughtful expressions, obviously, they didn't know much about the camp before. Zhou Daoan's words gave them a great shock, and both of them couldn't help but start looking back on what they had done in their previous missions, thinking about which side they would be judged on......

"Back to the present...... To be precise, what this predecessor built was a world of absolute order. I don't know what kind of real world you are from...... However, according to the development of human civilization, human society will have different types of social systems in different periods. While these generalities can all be attributed to a 'society of order', the definition of order varies from era to era...... However, there is a consensus that the later the stage of civilization, the higher the degree of freedom under the order, and the more attention is paid to the rational coexistence of human nature and system.

"In the case of White Rock City, they broke away from the most primitive hunting civilization and began to transition to a slave society. The form of order in this period was very absolute, brutal and authoritative. Blood sacrifices, which were unimaginable in the civilized world of the future, are taken for granted here......

"Since the Ark will divide us into factions, is it possible to guess that as we move up in level, we will grow in our respective factions?

"And the camps are opposite, and if the ark has no tendencies of its own, then it will maintain a balance of power on both sides. The number of low-level, intermediate, and high-level ferrymen will affect the strength of the faction, so the more advanced the ferryman, the rarer it is. Even the conditions to be upgraded will be more demanding...... It may be as simple as completing a task.

"The remnants of the elder awakened in the temple made it clear that it was a place of order, so he was here to build a world with absolute order? Will it even be related to his upgrade from demigod to god? After all, only gods can attain eternity, and demigods cannot completely detach themselves from the category of 'human'. ”

Zhou Daoan made his own inference, and soon, the answer responded and agreed, "The contemplative has a point—the temple guard once said that the oracle of the gods had said that the gods would favor the land as long as they followed the will of the gods for generations. Eventually, once the gods attain eternity, the whole world will become a kingdom of 'eternity'......"

The exchange of information has come here, and the three of them have obtained a lot of "dry goods". Next, the three of them looked at this treasure that the "senior ferryman" maintained his body from decaying, and instantly understood that this thing was likely to have a huge effect in the future!

In a hurry, this girl who has a strong obsession with improving her strength can't even hide her longing when she looks at the emerald green beads.

"We have to wait until we live to complete the mission. This thing still needs to be identified by the ark to know the efficacy, but it is estimated that the value will not be low, and judging from the current level of the three of us, we can't eat any of them. I propose that the three of us sign a contract first—this is a common harvest for the three of us, and neither of us should have the idea of monopolism. “

The answer looked at the two teammates and said in a deep voice.

"Contract?" Zhou Daoan had no opinion on the proposal for an answer, although he himself was affected by the bloodline of the Lord of Greed, he had an unquenchable desire for the treasure in front of him. But because of the existence of the "Pure Heart BUFF" and Zhou Daoan's own rationality, he can temporarily suppress his desire. In addition, according to the bloodline of the Lord of Greed, it seems that the attraction of that bead is no stronger than that of the Pirate King Gold Coins, indicating that it should not surpass the R rank.

"You don't know the pact made by the Ark?" The answer was puzzled for a moment, and then it was explained that this was a form of security provided by the ark for the communion of the ferrymen, as long as the ferrymen involved in the contract paid a hundred toils each.

This shows that both the answer and the rush have experienced similar things...... It seems that they have already experienced the form of co-op and team-mate in previous missions.

The three of them simply handed over a hundred hard labors, and the Ark system, which had always been silent during the mission, immediately appeared when the money was handed over, witnessing the contract of the three people. So, the emerald beads were handed over to the answer for temporary safekeeping.

After the shocking information, the ferryman team revisited the task, and the three of them seized the time to rest, during which the answer handed each of them a fist-sized fruit, blue and purple, full and juicy, and the flesh tasted similar to aloe vera. Zhou Daoan used his basic herbalist skills and found that this fruit is called dark blue in this world, probably because the indigenous people got its name, and the effect is mainly hydration......

"We don't have time to eat serious food, and we can get by by by just paying attention to hydration and sugar for more than ten hours." The survival expert answer explains.

The other two naturally had no opinion, and after eating the fruit in silence, they felt that their strength had recovered a lot, and several people began to hurry again.

"W-h

About 1 hour after the departure of the three ferrymen, a barefoot with dark brown skin stepped on the clearing of the "picnic". Soon, a primitive man with a face adorned with bronze ornaments and a bow and arrow in his hand emerged from the jungle.

He stood in the small clearing, looked around warily, and only after making sure that there were no enemies did he let out a bird's call.

Soon, dozens of primitives in the same costume all burrowed out of the jungle, a little behind, and the huge figure of the Kill also came out of the dense forest, and there was no emotion on their indifferent faces.

Without asking any of his men, he walked to the middle of the clearing, and then leaned down to take a closer look.

While he was checking, another primitive man with bald hair and a horse's face walked up to Ge Kill and whispered:

"These men have a junglewalker who will cover up the actions of three people. We can also find clues in our tracking, but slowly. They need to rest and eat, though, and as long as we catch up at full speed, we'll be able to ...... before sunset."

"No......" Ge Kill grabbed a handful of fallen leaves, then threw them on the ground casually, stood up, and said in a calm tone, "These outsiders never eat raw food, but there is no trace of fire along the way at the moment, indicating that they either carried food or did not eat at all......"

"If we chase too closely, we will force the prey to come back and fight us. We'll just keep going at this pace, and wait until sunset when it's time for us to strike......"

There was no doubt about the killing, and at the sound of an order, thirty primitives all stopped in this clearing, sat on the ground, took out the food they had brought with them, and replenished it.

The three ferrymen took a break every 1/2 to 2 hours, and although they were able to keep up with their physical strength, their spirits were inevitably affected. In this jungle, the walking cost itself is greater than usual, and you need to be more vigilant for the threat of potential poisonous snakes and beasts. If it weren't for the answer, relying on Zhou Daoan and hurrying alone, this speed would be at least twice as slow.

Of course, Zhou Daoan was not without his contributions, and his elementary herbalism played a role here. He picked some plants that could repel mosquitoes and made a simple juice for the trio to apply to their clothes, which also concealed some of their own body odor and had an effect on covering up the traces.

Of course, the hardest part is the answer. While the team was hurrying, he constantly took care of the work of "scouts", and even before resting, he had to look back to check the traces on the path and roughly judge the position of the pursuers.

At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone rested again, and the answer went back for nearly 20 minutes, came back with a frown, and said to the two teammates:

"The distance between the other party and us is shortening, but it is not as short as we imagined......"

"Isn't that a good thing?" Hurriedly swallowing unknown fruits to replenish sugar and water, while questioning.

The answer shook his head, "If you guessed correctly, they must have treated us the way they hunted down beasts - maintaining their speed, putting pressure on us to rush desperately, but also not doing our best, so that we always had a fluke mentality and fled all the way...... In this way, we will not be ruthless in fighting them, and we will be dragged down by long journeys......"

"Then there's nothing wrong with that, right?" hurriedly said, "After all, we know that the task will end tomorrow morning, and they want to spend it with us, but we are afraid that we can't afford it?" ”
