Inside the cave, the dark firelight flickered.
Following the Enlightenment along the way, Thomas felt uneasy.
Before coming here, his current teacher had warned him repeatedly.
If necessary, he must not rush into this mysterious ice and snow cave. He is only allowed to wait quietly outside the cave for his grandmother to appear.
Although he didn't know the origin of this cave, Thomas always obeyed the teacher's words.
However, the situation was not controlled by anyone. Facing the elite troops of the "Freedom Fist" dormant outside the valley, he could only follow the Enlightenment's arrangements and follow them into the cave to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
"These people are..."
Inside the cave, row after row of meditative figures suddenly appeared.
Thomas was stunned, and was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he was speechless for a moment.
"Are they living people or dead bodies? Where is this cave?!"
"Don't be nervous, this is the 'Zen Meditation Cave', the place where our Palmi family can achieve enlightenment..."
Thomas was a little shocked to see him.
Lao Shui, the enlightened man, pondered for a moment and then quickly explained.
"As for them, like me, they are all enlightened people who sit here and do ascetic practices."
"The enlightened one..."
He muttered thoughtfully.
Thomas breathed rapidly and carefully looked at the people who looked like mummies in the cave, and then noticed the faint vitality emanating from their bodies.
This was also the first time he heard about the so-called "enlightenment".
I just felt that it was a bit too mysterious, but I didn't understand the special meaning contained in it.
Actually.
Most people in this world are mediocre people, living in a muddleheaded way, only seeing immediate benefits, gains and losses.
Not everyone is like Xue Yun, who has the opportunity to be enlightened by the weirdo "Xuanyuan Sword Spirit" in the imperial mausoleum of Daxia.
"My head hurts so much..."
Slowly getting up from the ground, the little girl knocked on her forehead, obviously waking up from the chaotic state just now.
"grandmother!"
He quickly stepped forward.
Thomas was overjoyed and spoke impatiently: "Please come back to the ancient city of Eden with me. Heath has already started to attack there. The teacher said that only you have the ability to stop his evil deeds!"
He raised his eyebrows.
The little girl who had just recovered was confused and had no idea what Thomas was anxious about.
To her.
The cave in front of me is my home, and the so-called "Ancient City of Eden" is just a glimpse in my scattered memory, without any sense of belonging at all.
“It’s really not a worry…”
Seeing the two people staring at each other, the situation was very embarrassing.
Lao Shui, the enlightened man, sat cross-legged and said with a wry smile: "Even if you want this girl to help you, you have to explain the matter clearly."
"What exactly is going on, the cause and effect of the matter, please tell us slowly first, there is no need to rush."
Hear the words.
Thomas also realized his faux pas.
Suppressing the impatience in his heart, he simply sat down on the spot and told everything.
"The Ancient City of Eden"——
According to Thomas, it was an ancient ruin that existed on the north coast of the "Ocean Federal Republic".
There, there lived a group of isolated aboriginal people. Their city-state was located in the underground world and basically had little contact with the outside world of human civilization.
In the past, the government of the "Ocean Federation" knew that there was such a mysterious tribe.
But this group of profit-seeking politicians has reached an unprecedented tacit understanding with the "Ancient City of Eden". They rarely interact with each other and never disturb them.
But.
With the massive invasion of the "Freedom Fist" mercenary organization twelve years ago, the "Ocean Federation" government was completely paralyzed, and most of the country was occupied by Hiss.
Ever since——
The balance that had lasted for hundreds of years was suddenly broken.
After the frantic Heath stabilized the situation in the "Ocean Federation", he immediately launched an offensive against the indifferent "Ancient City of Eden".
Although the aboriginal people in the "Ancient City of Eden" are very brave and good at fighting, they are unable to withstand the overwhelming numbers of the opponent.
especially.
The Night's Watch Legion of "Freedom Fist" is also equipped with a large number of advanced biotechnology weapons.
This group of cunning mercenaries even directly arranged a large number of troops to simply block the only entrance and exit to the ground from the "Ancient City of Eden".
Although the ancient city is isolated from the world, the underground environment is not suitable for growing crops at all, and a large amount of arable land for survival is still above the ground.
In this way, it is equivalent to cutting off the food source of "Ancient City of Eden".
"These beasts..."
Secretly gritting his teeth.
Thomas was furious and said in a deep voice: "They are deliberately trying to kill the residents of the ancient city without killing anyone, leaving no one alive!"
Hear this.
The enlightened man Lao Shui nodded silently and basically had a general understanding of this "Ancient City of Eden".
This group of people should be somewhat similar to the Palmy clan back then.
They are all ethnic minorities who do not want to interact with the secular world. They live self-sufficiently in a corner of this world and only want to recuperate and recuperate.
"Understood."
His hands were behind his back.
Lao Shui, the enlightened man, looked at Thomas and pondered: "That's why the residents of those ancient cities sent you out of the city, specifically across half of the world, to come here to bring reinforcements?"
Startled slightly.
Thomas glanced at the innocent little girl, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Actually, I ran away secretly..."
Before the two of them could react.
Thomas continued: "Furthermore, I am not an aborigine of the Ancient City of Eden. Theoretically speaking, I am simply a foreigner."
Seeing the confusion on the faces of the two people in front of him, Thomas finally revealed his experience.
Twelve years ago.
Thomas defected from the "Freedom Fist" and was seriously injured by Heath.
His self-consciousness was severely damaged, and he almost lost his life when faced with the pursuit of his former colleagues.
By chance.
With scars all over his body, he fled all the way to the coast of the northern region of the "Ocean Federation".
In despair.
Thomas fainted and died on the coast. He thought he was dead, but he was unexpectedly saved by the natives of the ancient city who had returned from fishing.
"When I woke up, the person was already lying in the ancient city. The armed freak had long since died due to the collapse of his consciousness. His body was so weak that he could not move freely at all."
Speaking of which.
Thomas couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and sighed softly: "It was the teacher who saved my life. Not only did he give me hope to live, he also accepted me as a student and taught me more advanced night watchman combat skills."
His fists were clenched.
Thomas secretly gritted his teeth and muttered: "Originally, I just wanted to stay in the ancient city for the rest of my life, let go of my hatred, and stop getting involved in the worldly disputes outside."
I couldn't help but feel angry.
Thomas was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "However, Heath and the "Freedom Fist" under his command went even further. They were not satisfied with taking over the territory of the "Ocean Federation" in one fell swoop. Even "Eden" who never participated in external disputes Ancient City, they are not willing to let it go easily!"
