Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 178 - Who’s Not Afraid?



Chapter 178: Who’s Not Afraid?

The dog had always been the most loyal friend of man. It had been like this since ancient times. Even in ancient times, people who lived in different continents had never interacted with each other. However, humans had built a friendly relationship with dogs in unison.

Some dogs were used to guard the door, while others were used to feed sheep. Some of them were used to pulling sleds.

Even though the dogs became huge 500 years later, they were still friends with humans. They still remembered humans and were willing to serve them. Such behavior was not rare.

At that moment, Wei Huo saw a kitten’s head emerge from the Border Collie’s dense fur. It yawned comfortably and stopped trembling under its warm fur.

Upon seeing this scene, one could not help but feel that cats were really fickle. At times, they were docile and cute, sometimes they were fierce and domineering, but they were occasionally also lazy.

Wei Huo walked over and the kitten changed appearance. It jumped in front of Wei Huo and rubbed its paws against his trousers. “Meow…”

The Border Collie lowered its head and Wei Huo stroked it.

The young girl was very surprised. The Border Collie was usually very arrogant. It was impossible for it to lower its head in front of humans, nor was it like other dogs who liked to quarrel.

Wei Huo said, “I… reared a dog a long time ago.”

The girl was silent for a while. She did not ask what had happened. They were not familiar with each other, and judging from Wei Huo’s expression, it seemed like things had not gone well.

Wei Huo had raised a small white dog in high school. It had been a small Chinese field dog that had cost 30 yuan at the dog market. However, it had been stolen in Year Three. At the time, Wei Huo had been very sad. He had also cursed the thief, but it had been of no use.

Wei Huo thought about it. The pet market was a huge market. It could even be expanded into markets like pet hospitals, pet graveyards, pet parks, and pet arenas. If one punished a dog stealer and perfected the Pet Law, the pet market could do whatever it wanted and increase the country’s financial income and job openings. It could promote harmony between humans and animals and build a peaceful society… He was digressing.

Wei Huo asked the young lady about the situation of the super city. He had already guessed that the three super cities in the Dragon-Soaring Continent had probably been built by three humans at the Legendary stage.

By listening to the girl’s words, Wei Huo learned that her name was Su Xiaoyu and that the ruler of the steel fortress was a man named Ma Tengyun.

This person was known as the Savior. It was because of his appearance that the people in this area had been able to survive. It was said that he was a powerful mutant himself, but no one had seen him attack. There were over 300 mutants under his command. His Soaring Cloud City had a population of 100,000. The city followed the rule of the law and had policemen, merchants, and farmers. Of course, there were also many players.

In addition, the Soaring Cloud City brough benefits to the other camps in the surrounding area. Because the Soaring Cloud City was so powerful, the surrounding camps had chosen to rely on it. Many merchants would only go to the Soaring Cloud City to trade. Many geniuses and mutants would only choose to head to the Soaring Cloud City.

If Ma Tengyun[1] called himself king, all the nearby human camps would probably respond.

Wei Huo learned a lot about Soaring Cloud City from Su Xiaoyu. Su Xiaoyu asked him a lot as well, especially about the coffin. Besides Su Xiaoyu, everyone else in her team was also curious. Why had they brought a coffin along?

The sky gradually turned dark as everyone gathered around the bonfire. Someone asked Wei Huo, “Little Brother, how long have you been a traveling merchant?”

Wei Huo replied, “I’ve been staying in the Naga camp for the past few years. I was a traveling merchant five years ago.”

Everyone was shocked. A young man in his twenties exclaimed, “Did you come to this world more than five years ago? Are you from the Marginalized Alliance?”

Everyone was shocked. They had been talking about how extraordinary the two birds in Wei Huo’s team were. They were at least Rare-ranked, but they could not see through Wei Huo’s strength. At that moment, they realized that Wei Huo was someone who had arrived in this world earlier than them.

“I’m not from the Marginalized Alliance, but I did come to this world earlier than you guys. There’s an old friend of mine in the coffin. I’ll take her back to my hometown and return to our roots.” Wei Huo’s voice was calm. His eyes seemed to be filled with endless vicissitudes of time. An indescribable aura was emitted from his body, and the dogs became anxious.

Everyone was shocked when they heard Wei Huo admit this himself. They knew what the people who had arrived in this world earlier than them had experienced. The Marginalized Alliance had sent an expert to every safe zone. Such an expert had told them how humans had survived.

They’d had no shelter, camp, or experts to guide them. Not only had they been forced to face ferocious creatures, but they had also had to face the betrayal of their companions. The most terrifying thing was Epic-ranked creatures. Most Epic-ranked creatures were born with ill intentions toward humans and hunted them down. Therefore, all the people who had survived that era were top-notch experts. Legend had it that an Epic-ranked expert had existed in the Marginalized Alliance. That was the only way for them to create a safe area in the Heaven Ascension Continent and have countless experts sent to help the humans who had just arrived.

Wei Huo was speechless. These artificial beings were too good at making up stories, but their stories also helped cover up Wei Huo’s mighty power.

Upon hearing Wei Huo speak the truth, everyone respected him. Anyone who had survived the Dark Age deserved respect.

“Brother… Brother Wei, your caravan seems to be lighting a fire.”

Wei Huo already knew that it was Chen Xuanyue who was commanding the two rocs to light a fire. She wanted to roast something, but the few of them could not see Chen Xuanyue. They only saw the two awe-inspiring rocs.

Wei Huo said, “It’s alright. The two birds are roasting something.”

Everyone was confused. What? These two birds know how to roast their own food?

The sky gradually turned dark, and the outline of a coffin could be seen in the distance. A young man who was a little timid said, “Big Brother Wei, I think I heard a sound coming from the coffin you were pulling.”

The crowd was terrified.

Wei Huo glanced over. He had heard Chen Xuanyue humming while roasting meat.

Wei Huo explained, “It’s fine. The two rocs are humming.”

Everyone was confused.

Why would birds hum?

A moment later, a bang came from the coffin. A few timid people jumped up.

“Holy f*ck! What’s going on?”

Wei Huo knew that Chen Xuanyue must be up to no good. That young lady was too quick-witted and weird. She often caused trouble.

“I’ll go take a look.” Wei Huo stood up and walked over.

The group of people was so terrified that their scalps went numb. Nothing had happened during the day, but at night, who wouldn’t be afraid when they thought of a coffin that was not far away?

Soon, Wei Huo’s voice came from the other side. It seemed like he was talking to someone. The group of people turned pale from fear and almost climbed onto the dogs’ backs to escape.
