Mildan's words confirmed everyone's guess!
The person in front of Li Wei was actually a living ancient from more than a thousand years ago!
Even the crazy experts in the research lab felt their scalps go numb when faced with such a situation!
Although they were very curious about the secrets of the forbidden land, if an ancient person from more than a thousand years ago really crawled out of the forbidden land and jumped around in front of them, who wouldn't be scared?
This wasn't the transmigration in those novels, but the strangeness that couldn't be more real!!!
From the looks of it, Mildan did not seem to be prepared to attack Li Wei and the others. Therefore, although Li Wei and the others did not put away their weapons, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Facing such a strange situation, they really did not know how to fight!
Even for the young man, he had been to many ancient tombs and had seen dumplings and ghosts. However, it was his first time seeing an ancient person who had lived for more than a thousand years and was still alive and kicking!
"Are you…a human or a ghost?"
Shielding Eri behind him, Li Wei kept sizing up Mildan, who was in front of him. However, even with his Golden Eyes activated, he still could not see through Mildan's true body!
"Of course I'm human!" " Hmph!" Mildan snorted." Back then, our Loulan Kingdom lost our water source because of the diversion of the Talimu River. We only had two choices before us. Or leave your hometown!"
At this point, Mildan closed his eyes. It seemed that even now, he could not bear to face such a difficult choice.
Whether it was the netizens in the live broadcast room or Li Wei and the other two who were facing Mildan, they could all understand Mildan's pain.
The ancient times were unlike the modern times, where transportation was extremely developed. Even if one traveled from one side of the earth to the other, it would take a day by plane if it was fast. If it was slow, even if it was by boat, it would take at most half a year.
But what about ancient times?
Traveling depended on two legs. If they had money, they could ride a horse. If they encountered a river, they could take a boat. However, taking a boat was the fastest way for them to travel!
However, even if they took a boat, compared to modern transportation, the speed was still worlds apart!
In addition, in the eyes of the ancients, land was the foundation of their survival. Once they left their hometown, it would be difficult for them to return for the rest of their lives!
Therefore, when the ancients faced such a thing, they could only endure their sadness and leave their homes!
Taking a deep breath and pulling himself out of his emotions, Mildan opened his eyes and his voice suddenly became impassioned.
"But! I found a way! Let our Loulan Country continue to exist forever!”
Pointing at the vine in the center of the hall, the fanaticism in Mildan's eyes was clearly seen by the audience in the live broadcast room!
"As long as we have it, not only will our Loulan Country not need to leave our hometown, but we can also make everyone immortal! This place will become the Kingdom of Heaven!!!”
"So…all of you consumed the Scarlet Feather Fruits on this?”
"That's right!" Mildan nodded." The Red Feather Fruit can make people immortal! This is true!"
Li Wei looked at the young man in confusion.""But didn't you say that the Red Feather Fruit is poisonous and will kill anyone who touches it?”
"There is indeed poison!" The one who answered Li Wei's question was not the little brother, but Mildan, who was sitting on the throne.
"Because of the poison, we sacrificed 371 people just to find a way to remove the poison from the Red Feather Fruit. However, by accident, we didn't manage to remove the poison from the Scarlet Feather Fruit. Instead…we became immune to the poison!”
At this point, Mildan's expression was both happy and sad."At that time, there was a citizen who discovered a black pill. The pill was only the size of a thumb! "As long as we eat this pill, we will be immune to the poison on the Scarlet Feather Fruit after seven days and successfully consume it!”
"A thumb-sized black pill?”Li Wei suddenly thought of something and his face turned green."Don't tell me you're talking about…"
"That's right, it's the egg of the purple-faced corpse worm!”
The little brother's words confirmed Li Wei's guess, and it also made many people in the livestream who had seen the purple-faced corpse worm's true appearance feel nauseous.
"F * ck! Was that a pill? Those are my eggs, alright!"
"No wonder I had to wait for seven days…After seven days, the corpse worms will break out of their eggs and start devouring the internal organs. The corpse worms will be immune to the poison on the Red Feather Fruit…"
"I have a question. Seven days later, who will eat the Red Feather Fruit? Are those ancient people or those corpse worms?”
"Don't say anymore! The more I talk, the more terrifying I feel!"
"It seems that you have already met my people.”Mildan's face was half gratified and half regretful.
"In order to allow all my people to live forever, I ordered all my people to take this pill! "At that time, I was overjoyed and did not order an investigation to find out where this medicinal pill came from or how it came about! Looking at it now, I, as the king, have really let down my people!”
Mildan looked at the vines in the middle of the hall and looked at the Red Feather Fruits on them."When all my people took the pill, Lou Lan fell into a frenzy. Everyone was ecstatic about the immortality they were about to obtain. Even though there aren't enough fruits on the tree, as long as everyone persevere and do their best to nurture it, in time, each of us will be able to consume the Scarlet Feather Fruits on it…But after a month…after a month…"
He was clearly a Human King, but when he said this, he actually broke down in tears.
"A month later, something strange happened! "The first to show signs of abnormality were the children and the elderly. Their expressions were dull, their reactions were slow, and they didn't eat or drink…At first, we thought that it was normal, but when everyone showed the same situation, we realized that something was wrong!”
"But even if I realized it, it was already too late!”Mildan patted the armrest of the throne." To prevent others from being harmed by us, I chose to activate the final mechanism of Lou Lan and sank the entire Lou Lan into the ground. I've always been on the throne, accompanying my people until now…"
After hearing Mildan's story, everyone could not help but feel a trace of sympathy for him.
He was a king who loved his people very much. He simply did not want his country to disappear into a desert.
However, the heavens were playing tricks on him. The opportunity to make his country and even all his people immortal was right in front of him, but it was this opportunity that pushed Gu Loulan into the abyss!
After hearing Mildan's words, Li Wei nodded and suddenly asked,""I saw that the people below had all lost their minds and were controlled by the purple-faced corpse worm, but why are you still conscious?”
