Li Hao invited Ye Yunyang to go to the street together and go to a teahouse in the east of the city to introduce a few friends to him.

When the two of them passed by South Fifth Street, they saw a group of people gathered on the side of the street, and some people were talking about something with great interest, and out of curiosity, they walked over quickly.

In the center of the crowd were three hunters in heavy armor, carrying bows and arrows and waist swords, their armor bearing the marks of fighting with the beasts, and one of them still had a wound on his face.

"Guess what we saw in the woods to the south?" said a hunter with an oath: "You can't guess, I won't sell the guanzi, let me tell you the truth, tens of thousands of beasts are gathering, just more than a hundred miles south of the city, and more beasts are coming from all directions, the scene is extremely lively!"

Everyone showed suspicion, and someone said, "According to your statement, this is clearly a sign of a beast tide!"

"That's right!" said the hunter very firmly, "It's the beast tide, we roughly estimate that there are already hundreds of thousands of fierce beasts there, or more, because the situation is very dangerous, we didn't dare to get too close, just observed from a distance for a while." ”

"Nonsense, there are still nineteen years until the next beast tide!"

"I don't even know how to make up nonsense, don't you just want to say that it's not easy to go out hunting this time, take the opportunity to raise the price of prey, and actually make up the beast tide, thinking that everyone is easy to deceive!"

The three hunters were anxious and said, "We can swear that we are absolutely not lying! If you don't believe it, go to the south and see that the three of us are reputable hunters, so what good is it for us to spread such a panic?"

Ye Yunyang and Li Hao glanced at each other, it seemed that the matter of the beast tide had been discovered by these people.

At this moment, a group of soldiers in black iron armor appeared, who belonged to the Church of the Elders.

"Fence up, arrest these three deceitful guys!" shouted the captain, and a dozen men rushed over violently, breaking up the crowd and surrounding the three hunters in the middle.

The hunter hurriedly raised his hand and said, "We really didn't lie, it's true. ”

The captain sneered and said, "If you have anything to say, it's not too late to talk about it when you get to the prison, tie it up and take it away!"

Half a minute later, the three of them were tied up into rice dumplings, their mouths were stuffed with rags, and they were taken away by the security team in a very miserable manner.

The captain said to the crowd who were unwilling to disperse: "What signs of the beast tide, as soon as you hear it, it is fake, everyone must not be fooled, these three people are talking about bewitching the public, there is bound to be an ulterior conspiracy, let's disperse." ”

With that, he turned to leave.

Ye Yunyang and Li Hao walked to a place where there were few people, frowned and said, "It's obviously true, why do you say that it is a lie, and it seems that the three hunters don't have good fruits to eat." ”

Li Hao nodded and lowered his voice: "Actually, this is not the first batch of people to be arrested, I heard my father say that at least a dozen people were arrested in the previous week, all because they talked about the beast tide in public, and the crime was spreading rumors, and they were sentenced to thirty years in prison." ”

"Thirty years!" Ye Yunyang gasped, he just said a few words of truth, he had to stay in prison for thirty years, it was too much!

"Who said it wasn't!" Li Hao rejoiced: "Fortunately, when my father learned about this, he not only tightly sealed the news, but also immediately informed the Council of Elders, otherwise, our family's hunting team would also be unlucky." ”

Ye Yunyang frowned: "But why? It's obviously true, but the news is going to be blocked, what does the Council of Elders think?"

Li Hao sighed and said, "Then I don't know, my father has been inquiring about this matter, and he has not received a reasonable explanation until now." However, I think that the Council of Elders should have special arrangements, and it is better for us not to make a noise about it, lest we get ourselves in trouble. ”

What special arrangements?

Ye Yunyang didn't believe in those old guys at all, they only knew how to defend passively, and they were about to attack the city with ten thousand beasts, so if they didn't take the initiative to attack, they were still trying their best to block the news, did they take the safety of the residents in the city seriously?

......

After strolling around the street all morning, Ye Yunyang felt bored, so he returned to the academy in the afternoon and came to the library alone to read books, because it was a Sunday, there were not many people in the library.

As usual, he went to the humanities geography area and looked up for books of interest.

After looking at several bookshelves in a row, he didn't find one that he was satisfied with, so he pushed the human-shaped ladder next to him and climbed up to find the books on the top floor.

The top floors are all rare books, which are rarely noticed, and some of them look very old, and the covers made of animal skins are so broken that they have not been looked at for many years.

He took out a copy of it, lifted the cover and looked at the table of contents, without looking at the contents, he already basically knew a rough idea, and it was a meaningless book, no wonder it would be shelved.

He turned his gaze to the other side, and suddenly saw something at the top of the bookcase, revealing a rust-like color.

On closer inspection, it was indeed rust, and if he hadn't stood at the top of the ladder, he wouldn't have noticed it at all, and he reached over and touched a rectangular box.

He took out the box, it was covered with rust, and some places were almost corroded, and with a slight force on his hands, the lid was easily opened.

It was a book, on the brown hemp paper cover, with the four ancient seal characters of "The Origin of the Protoss" written, he opened the cover with doubts, it was not a table of contents, the first page was the content of the book.

After just one glance, he began to gasp, because the first sentence was: The Protoss originated in the Holy Heaven Continent, lived and multiplied in the Holy Heaven Continent for tens of thousands of years, because all kinds of resources were exhausted, and the living conditions could not meet the needs, and then migrated to the new world, for the God Realm.

He looked around alertly to make sure that there was no second person nearby, and then he continued to read with confidence: The special geographical and climatic environment of the Divine Realm has created the migrating Protoss, and people have gained a longer lifespan and stronger strength than in the Holy Heaven Continent. In view of the lessons learned from the failures in the Holy Heaven Continent, people decided to conserve resources, because only in this way can they ensure that everyone can live longer in this world, and the increase in population is a great threat to the consumption of materials, which in turn gave rise to the provisions of birth restrictions.

In the distance, Wang Dang came to the deacon who was in charge of the daily affairs of the library, nodded at him first, and then glanced at Ye Yunyang's side.

The deacon nodded in response, and the royal party left quietly.

Ye Yunyang continued to read until he finished reading a book.

This book is only a dozen pages long, and each page is only two or three hundred words, so it is very fast to read.

However, it gave Ye Yunyang a great shock, the first time he saw Mei Yu a few months ago, he suspected that there was some kind of relationship between the Divine Realm and the Holy Heaven Continent, and some later discoveries confirmed this speculation.

If what the book says is correct, the Protoss comes from the human race, and combined with the disappearance of the ancient era of the Holy Heaven Continent, it is basically certain that the ancient ancestors who suddenly disappeared at the beginning are today's Protoss.

However, since they left because of lack of resources, why were some of them left behind, and strangely, these abandoned people did not leave any information related to their ancient ancestors.

Also, after Ye Yunyang came to the God Realm, he was scolded more than once as the offspring of thieves, robbers, and criminals, what was going on? Since everyone had the same roots, why did the Protoss look down on human beings, just because they had a longer lifespan and stronger strength?

Obviously not, the contempt of the Protoss for humans is innate, and it is the kind that goes deep into the bones, could it be that the Terrans have done something to be sorry for them?

This is even more impossible, before Mei Li and Mei Yu appeared, the human race did not even know about the existence of the god realm and the god race, if it were not for the leakage of demonic energy, the human race would continue to be kept in the dark.

That's right, the demonic energy leaks out!

Mei Yu's familiarity with the leakage of demonic qi is obviously beyond the cognition of the human race, and she said that she saw it from ancient books, plus her father who went to the presbyterian church to do business, she took advantage of her unhappy mood to go out to play, and by the way, she helped the human race solve problems.

He began to think boldly, I am afraid that the departure of the ancient ancestors, in addition to the lack of resources, is directly related to the protracted war.

According to the historical records of the Holy Heaven Continent, the ancient ancestors fought against the demons, and the two sides suffered heavy losses after many years of scuffle, and finally the demons were defeated, and the demon emperor and his subordinates were killed, leaving only the remnants of the divine consciousness, and they were sealed in the misty realm of the South China Sea. It stands to reason that the ancient ancestors, as the victors, should have rebuilt the damage caused by the war in addition to the great book, but in fact they suddenly disappeared.

No wonder the population of the Protoss is so small, firstly, to learn the lessons of the past and control the population, and secondly, after that great war, there were not many people who survived, and then after going through many difficulties and dangers to come here, I don't know how many people had to die along the way.

He had a feeling of being opened, and as his thoughts gradually became clearer, the previous doubts were solved one by one.

However, there is a question that still haunts him to this day, how did the Protoss's indifferent attitude towards the Terran come about, they knew that the demonic qi on the Holy Heaven Continent was leaking, and all kinds of demon beasts, orcs and second-generation orcs appeared one after another, poisoning the human race, but the Protoss didn't care about it, and let the human race fend for itself, is this what the same sect should do?

Besides, the process of destroying the Demon Emperor is not difficult, just a plum rain of the fifth heaven of Menghong Realm can do it, and there are many gods of the same level as her, at least hundreds of thousands, since just sending one down can solve the problem, but the old immortal elders decided to keep it secret and sit back and watch with peace of mind.

It's so weird that he won't give up until he gets to the bottom of it.

Looking around again, making sure no one was paying attention, he tucked the tin box into his clothes and smoothed out the folds in his coat as he slowly descended the ladder.

In the reading area in the distance, Wang Dang pretended to read the book carefully, and Ye Yunyang's every move was under his close watch.

The corners of his mouth went up, and he raised his head to look at the deacon.

The deacon nodded slightly, stood up at the same time, and strode towards the gate.

Ye Yunyang's face was full of thoughtfulness, obviously the book brought him too much shock, and he was still digesting the content in his head, and he didn't notice that someone was blocking the way ahead.

"Stop!" a loud shout sounded, and the deacon said in a deep voice: "This student, this deacon suspects you of stealing the library's books, so you should take the initiative to hand it over, so as not to be searched, and everyone's face will not look good." ”

Ye Yunyang raised his head, looked at the deacon with a majestic expression on his face, and said, "Are you mistaken, I know the rules here, all books are not allowed to be taken out, violators will be punished with demerits, who dares to defy the law?"

The deacon sneered: "I have seen a lot of daring people, if every student can do it without violating the school rules, what will happen to those who are expelled every year? ”
