After Wu Jun and Labuda left the area, Wu Jun suddenly felt something. He turned around and looked back. He was puzzled by the old man and the young man, but in the end, he treated them as passersby and stopped thinking about them.
After two days, the town finally appeared at the end of the ground line. This was a giant city in Wu Jun's impression. It had high city walls and a huge city gate. There were not many people coming and going. There were purebred humans, beast-like aberrations, and some tamed beasts. Two people holding axes stood at the door. They each had parts of the alien body of a tiger beastman and a wolf beastman. They had strong bodies and stared at the people coming and going. They only swept their eyes across the humans. As for the beasts that had been tamed, they were stopped for inspection. Wu Jun and Labuda entered the city. The two of them stared at Labuda's hooves, and Wu Jun took out his badge. The two of them immediately let them pass. Clearly, the two of them did not dare to offend anyone with a badge.
Wu Jun let out a long breath. He had finally entered the human town. He did not feel excited at all. Instead, he felt exceptionally calm. There were many humans around him who looked similar to him. They were also communicating with each other. Unfortunately, Wu Jun could not understand a single word. He walked forward in silence. He was like a different species. Someone greeted him and chatted with him. Wu Jun was silent. No one could understand what he was saying.
Labda led Wu Jun to a place similar to a hotel, paid a red crystal, and booked a room! The person who collected the red crystal was a burly man with a goatee. He looked at Labuda and then looked at Wu Jun. Then, he weighed the red crystal in his hand. It seemed that he did not like the quality of this crystal. However, he still pointed in the direction of the two and handed them a door sign.
The door was made of wood, and there was a corresponding symbol on it. It was obvious that this was not the first time Labuda had moved in. Wu Jun entered a room with a corresponding symbol. The room was not big, but there were two wooden beds and a soft blanket made of goat fur. Labuda lay down on the bed, as if he liked this comfortable soft bed very much. One had to know that the beds in the tent tribe were all made of stone! There weren't even a few pieces of wood!
Wu Jun sat on the edge of the other bed, looking at the hotel room, looking at the wooden bed, and then stroking the soft woolen blanket. There was not the slightest sense of familiarity and joy in his heart. He had thought that the world was that barren land, and he was a powerful hunter in it. He could kill cattle beasts, slaughter wolf beasts, and run like the wind. Wu Jun even felt that he was different from before for a moment. However, looking at the room in front of him, his thoughts turned. The crystals they had painstakingly hunted... To think that other people didn't even care about him and could only stay in a small room with two beds. Converting it to the standard of the hotel in Wu Jun's impression, the jingshi that Wu Jun fought so hard to obtain was almost equivalent to a hundred yuan bill?!
"I really thought I was some big shot. It turns out that I still have to live in the cheapest room, and I'm still a struggling worm at the bottom.”Wu Jun laughed self-deprecatingly and turned over. He wanted to fall asleep immediately. He was not even that interested in the awakening of the spirit ancestors.
After a while, someone knocked on the door. Wu Jun turned over in surprise, but La Bu Da was not surprised. When the door opened, a woman walked in. This woman looked rather ordinary, but her figure was well-proportioned and she had a bit of charm. When she saw La Bu Da open the door, she smiled at him. Then she looked at Wu Jun, her eyes filled with surprise as she spoke with a smile!
The woman's words suddenly appeared in Wu Jun's mind as a greeting!
Rabda said a few words to the woman, and the woman smiled and nodded. This made Wu Jun's eyes widen. A guess rose in his mind. The woman seemed to have noticed Wu Jun's confusion and immediately said," I was lucky enough to awaken an ancestral soul, but the ancestral soul is not strong enough. I can only do some communication and introductions!“
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Wu Jun said nervously. The woman nodded. Wu Jun was so excited that he wanted to hug the woman and spin her around, but in the end, he did not dare to be presumptuous.
The woman looked at Wu Jun in confusion. She obviously did not expect Wu Jun to be so agitated. She could not imagine that Wu Jun had not communicated with anyone for a year. No one could understand him. In a few more years, he would even lose the ability to communicate. At this moment, he wished he could say everything and let the woman chat with him for a night.
However, he did not know what to say for a moment. Labuda was much calmer than Wu Jun and asked about the things to take note of when an Ancestral Spirit awakened this year.
" This year's awakening of the Ancestral Souls is similar to the previous years. They will all be awakened in the Ancient Hall of the Ancestral Souls. The candidates who possess the emblem can enter the Awakening Secret Realm one by one and trace back to the ancient times to find their original Ancestral Souls. The Beast Inspectors who came here this year are from the Wolf race and the Bat race. You guys are unlucky. These two are cunning and ruthless people. It's fine if you fail this awakening, but if you succeed, you might not be able to return safely.”The woman shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Why are there still beasts here to monitor? Monitor what?" Wu Jun found it strange!
"Little brother, you don't know anything. It's not the era where humans are the masters. We humans have long failed. To put it nicely, we're exiled. To put it bluntly, we're captive. We naturally attach great importance to the ancestral souls who once caused them a calamity. Every time an ancestral soul awakens, every time someone awakens, they will ask if the awakening is successful. After the awakening is successful, they will ask what kind of ancient soul it is. If it is a powerful ancient soul, they will inform the Beast Kings everywhere. Usually, this person would be devoured by the beasts the moment they left the city. Even if they stayed in the city for a long time, accidents would happen. They were wary of powerful ancient souls and would kill these awakened ones when they were still in the bud. If the awakened ancient souls were weak, then it would depend on the mood of the inspectors. If they encountered herbivorous beasts like antelopes and egrets, they would usually let a portion of them go. However, for example, the wolf race and the bat race had once been inspectors. Almost all those who had successfully awakened did not live past three years!”When the woman said this, she seemed to be sad.
Wu Jun shook his head in confusion and quickly asked,"Can't you just lie? If you've awakened, you can say that you haven't awakened. If you've awakened, you can say that you're weak.”
The woman frowned and glanced at Wu Jun, seemingly amused by his question." What a cute little brother. The Ring of No Nonsense has been planted in the depths of our human souls since ancient times. As long as we're humans in this world, we don't have the right to lie. It's fine if it's an ordinary person, but there aren't many restrictions on the aberrations. Only the ancestors have the right to lie! The moment the ancient souls discovered that you were lying and lying, they would immediately disperse. However, since it was the wolf race and the bat race this time around, if you were really lucky enough, why don't you try to lie? It would be much better for the ancient souls to disperse than to die an unnatural death.”
Wu Jun finally understood and immediately asked,'Can't these beasts not notice the awakening of an Ancestral Spirit? Can't we do it in private?"
The woman shook her head again." The Ancient Soul Hall needs a long time to accumulate energy to open the Awakening Secret Realm. The source of this energy comes from the crystals of various beast tribes. Once a certain amount is accumulated, it will definitely be detected by the beasts. Therefore, whether it is done secretly or changing the Secret Realm, it is useless. The Ancient Soul Hall can be considered to have a long history. It still has some mysteries inside. At least, the inspectors do not dare to make a move.”
At this point, the woman seemed to have thought of something. She looked around and checked the doors and windows before saying," I heard that some people who awakened powerful ancient souls escaped the pursuit of beasts. Some of the best among them even killed many beast kings and grew into existences that even beasts feared. They would secretly open an awakening ceremony for their outstanding descendants, but the number was very small. Once there were too many, they would be attacked by the beast kings. It was rumored that there were also some ancient soul ancestor families that could hide the ancient soul perception for a short period of time, allowing the awakened to escape the interrogation of the inspectors. Of course, if the inspectors had doubts, If he asked a few more questions, he would eventually be exposed.”
