Chapter 1006: Three Days, Three Years
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A monster appeared on the slopes ahead, wreathed in fire . A man, who was looking Han Sen's way, was suddenly set ablaze .
Han Sen frowned at the sight, but thought it fortunate he had stumbled across the group right before a crisis befell them . Now, he had an opportunity to prove his worth and removed any shadows of doubt they harbored that he might not have been who he said he was .
But before Han Sen could move, Lin Weiwei tugged at him and said, "Please be careful!"
"I can help," Han Sen replied .
"Protecting yourself is the best thing you can do for now," Lin Weiwei said, before she started running towards the monster .
Han Sen wished to tell her, "I can kill that thing . Get your hands off me!"
But before he could, she and the others in their company had gone forward to run the creature through .
Lin He was a fairly accomplished fighter, and he had opened seven gene locks with a skill that aligned to the wind element .
Nobody looked happy as they felled that beast . They were upset at the realization they had so suddenly lost a teammate and friend, one who had already endured so much .
Han Sen spoke with them for a bit, and when they believe him, they accepted him into their fold .
"Sister Weiwei, what is the date? I was chased for a few days, so I fear I have lost track of the date and time," Han Sen asked .
When Han Sen exited the cave that led to the valley he had been trapped in, he emerged in a land he had never seen before . As strange as it was, the monkeys did not follow, either .
After taking off in flight above the clouds, when he descended, the mountain was gone .
Try as he might, he could not find the same mountain . And during his search, he had stumbled upon Lin Weiwei and her people .
She told him that her shelter had just been destroyed by a fierce spirit, and they were in search of a new place to stay .
Han Sen asked them if they had heard about Thorn Forest before, but they looked at him blankly . No one knew of such a location!
"Today is the seventh," Lin Weiwei said . It was common for people not to know the date .
"Which year?" Han Sen asked .
"It is the year twenty-five, the month of March . " Lin Weiwei found it strange he had asked that .
"Are you sure it is the twenty-fifth?" Han Sen asked, with wild eyes .
Although there had been no shift in daylight during his stay in the valley, the constant presence of the sun and blue skies might just have been an illusion . And even if he had miscalculated the time that had elapsed, he wouldn't be as clumsy as to mistake three days for three years .
But Lin Weiwei told him it was the twenty-fifth year, and he had chased the monkey king on the fourth of March . There was no possible way he had only been absent for three days .
"I am not old enough to misremember the year," Lin Weiwei said .
Han Sen was flabbergasted and not sure what to say . For him to only have been missing three days was quite the shock .
"That valley must have had some control over the flow of time . Time was still there, and the monkey was able to speed up time . There must be some connection there," Han Sen wondered to himself .
The mystery of what occurred on that mountain puzzled Han Sen a great deal . It was a conundrum he was keen to mull over, and so he wondered who or what was responsible for the shift in time there .
Han Sen had never heard of a power that could have such a radical effect on the flow of time .
Lin He asked Han Sen a few questions . He told them he had come from Thorn Forest, which disappointed everyone .
"We have to keep moving . We need to cross this Ghost Mountain and find someplace new to settle down," Lin Weiwei said .
Spirits were strong, but so were super creatures . Past the mountain, the lands were divided like kingdoms, domains ruled either by spirits or super creatures .
If they ever reached a place with no spirits, they could possibly take a spirit shelter for themselves .
Han Sen followed them . He had opened nine gene locks, but his fitness was low . If he had to go to war, he'd have no chance of competing against super creatures and king spirits .
They encountered many creatures on the road, ones which Han Sen wished to help fight against . But each time Lin Weiwei pulled him back in the belief she was protecting him .
They only ever encountered mutant creatures, anyway . And those were killed in the blink of an eye .
Lin Weiwei knew Han Sen had just become a surpasser, and so she believed he was weak . Because she regarded him as a friend, she felt compelled to protect him, too .
The further they went across the mountain, the stronger the creatures became .
The team stopped after their fourth day of travel . A green forest lay ahead of them, one that looked like an endless expanse . The trees nearest them seemed to be silverleaf poplars .
The trees there crackled and popped with a green lightning . If you touched them, you'd be painfully electrocuted .
They wondered whether or not they should have ventured beneath the boughs of such a curious location . The lightning trees were spaced a few meters apart, so if they all traveled together, and something bad happened, they'd be in great danger amidst a scramble .
But being unable to return the way they came, it didn't seem as if they had much of a choice . So, they had to keep going .
Everyone ventured beneath the canopy of that forest with care . They dismounted their rides, not wanting to risk touching the trees .
When a stiff wind blew, it tickled the electricity of the trees and produced many snapping sounds .
A few lightning-charged leaves fell from the boughs above, and onto a surpasser who was immobile due to grievous injuries sustained in a previous fight . He screamed as his blood boiled, and smoke arose from his head .
The leaves did not kill him, thankfully . But it made the group doubly wary of the trees on their way .
