“You need to recuperate properly. Don’t be too excited. When you return to the army after recovering from your injuries, you will a.s.sume an even more important role in the White Bone Battalion.”

The Ancient Dream Saintess smiled and comforted Meng Chao. “At that time, we can fight together for all the rat people and the Rat G.o.d!”

“I will, Saintess. I will!”

Meng Chao was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He shouted in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “The runes that the Rat G.o.d gave me helped me to keep my life in the raging flames. I will definitely recover as soon as possible and die for the Rat G.o.d!”

The Ancient Dream Saintess had already shifted her gaze to the next seriously injured person.

The words “the runes that the Rat G.o.d gave me” stunned her slightly. She then shifted her gaze back.

“What runes?”

Her eyes shone with interest.

There were also a few spirit ripples in her voice, as though they were going to stir up waves deep in Meng Chao’s brain.

“That’s right. The runes that I saw when I fell off the cliff as a child, Ancient Dream Saintess. Those must be the blessings that the Rat G.o.d gave me, right?”

Meng Chao paused for a moment and pretended to come to his senses. “That’s right. I’ve never told anyone about this. When I was young, our family lived in a small mountain village that was surrounded by high peaks and dense forests.

“Although mandrake fruits were scattered all over the mountains and plains, the number of people who picked them was really limited. Moreover, the old warrior who ruled the small mountain village also requested us to pay the Mandrake Tax with golden fruits of the highest grade. The entire village to had no choice but to venture into the deep mountains and forests repeatedly. In the end, the totem beasts that were hibernating there were alerted.

“I remember that we alerted an entire nest of totem beasts. The howls of ferocious beasts could be heard everywhere in the entire mountain forest.

“Many people were bitten to death by the totem beasts, which gnawed them into pieces.

“Those who had survived, were in a panic, and they gradually escaped to the end of the road.

“I was separated from my family, and I stumbled up a cliff. There were also cliffs on my left and right. Before me was the abyss, while behind me, the hungry roars of the totem beasts were getting closer and closer.

“I was completely disheartened. I closed my eyes and jumped down from the edge of the cliff.

“I just thought that even if I the fall breaks my body into pieces, it would be much more satisfying than falling into the totem beast’s b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and have it slowly tear off every piece of flesh on my body.

“I never thought that I wouldn’t fall to my death.

“There was a very strange airflow at the bottom of the cliff. It was like a soft cushion that supported my back.

“There were also dense mandrake branches along the way. They crisscrossed like a huge rope net, continuously reducing my speed.

“Finally, there was a thick blanket of bacteria growing at the bottom of the cliff. It was both soft and elastic. I landed on it and bounced back and forth. Aside from my face being bruised and swollen, I actually didn’t suffer any other serious injuries.

“I stood up in a daze and found myself in a strange and unbelievable new world.

“There were crystal-clear things, which I couldn’t tell were ores or plants. I had never heard of or seen them before I was on the cliff.

“I also discovered a cave at the bottom of the cliff. The depths of the cave shimmered with dim light, and it emitted an indescribable, seductive voice. It was as if it was calling me to go in and explore.

“I walked into the cave in a stupor. I didn’t know how many turns I took in the cave, but I eventually saw a huge, magnificent stone wall. Hundreds of runes that I couldn’t understand were carved on it. Every rune was flowing with brilliant colors and emanating magnificent light like colorful streams.

“Like a fool, I stayed in the cave for a few days in my dazed state. I didn’t feel hungry or thirsty. I couldn’t help but stare at those runes, as though I wanted to imprint every single one of them into my brain.

“I don’t really remember what happened after that.

“I only remember that for some unknown reason, I left the mysterious world under the cliff and returned to my home at the foot of the mountain.

“Looking at my barren, abandoned home that was reminiscent of a graveyard, I sensed something amiss.

“I finally found a familiar, crazy old man in the desolate village. Only then did I learn that the last time I went to the mountain to collect golden fruits, the village had suffered heavy losses. Almost all the young and strong people had lost their lives to the totem beasts’ claws. My parents did not make it back alive either.

“Only the old, weak, sick, and disabled were left in the village. The villagers who still had a chance of survival went to the nearby villages. Meanwhile, the villagers who were too old to walk were left there to wait for death.

“It had been half a year since the harvesting team encountered the totem beasts in the depths of the forest!

“How strange. I felt like I only stayed in the cave for three to five days at most. After leaving the forest, it merely took me half a day to return home. Although my stomach was growling, I could still endure it. How could it have been half a year?

“With a belly full of doubts, I left my desolate home and wandered around. I had encountered countless dangers.

“But this time, something even stranger happened!

“Every time I encountered danger, the runes I had seen in the depths of the cave after falling off the cliff would appear before my eyes.

“And each time those runes appeared before my eyes, I would feel my blood boiling. My entire body would be boiling hot as if there were waves of incomparably powerful energy surging out from the depths of my bone marrow. It made me agile and powerful. Even if I was seriously injured, my recovery speed would be a few times faster than that of ordinary people.

“Sometimes, I would return to the mysterious world at the bottom of the cliff in a dream, and once again walk into the winding cave. At the end of the cave, I would see the magnificent stone wall. Every time I woke up from such a dream, I would feel stronger than before, and my flesh, as well as my blood, were more solid!

“Recently, when I rushed toward that Wolf Clan officer and used the giant steel shield to block the lava that he unleashed out, those mysterious runes also shone crazily before my eyes. They gave me endless strength and the ability to endure pain. Otherwise, how could I have carried the burning red steel shield and withstand the lava while I advanced step by step?

“Ancient Dream Saintess, please tell me, are these runes really a blessing given to me by the Big-horned Rat G.o.d? Has the Big-horned Rat G.o.d noticed me, an insignificant n.o.body, since so long ago?”

Meng Chao’s eyes were burning as he stared at the Ancient Dream Saintess.

He believed that Ancient Dream Saintess would definitely be deeply attracted to his story.

Moreover, he was not afraid that the Ancient Dream Saintess would see through his tale.

Although the story was fictional, the details of the story, including the wonderful world at the bottom of the cliff and the sparkling runic stone wall, were all true.

It was a strange phenomenon that Meng Chao had witnessed with his own eyes on Monster Mountain Range, near the Ruins No. 2 in the Hidden Mist Domain.

Picturesque Orchid Lake and Monster Mountain Range were very close to each other, so it was not strange for them to have similar caves.

As expected, the Ancient Dream Saintess’ eyes were gleaming.

“In the Rat G.o.d’s eyes, as long as you have the courage to fight for freedom and dignity, you are the n.o.blest warrior. You are definitely not some insignificant n.o.body. A warrior like you is certainly qualified to receive the Rat G.o.d’s blessing and guidance.”

The Ancient Dream Saintess paused for a moment and said, “However, can you show me what the runes on the stone wall in your dream look like?”

Meng Chao nodded and stretched out a finger that had been smeared with ointment for burns. He poked the air and drew in a trajectory that formed ghostly runes.

The runes that he drew were real.

They had been carved in the pits of Ruins No. 1 at the center of Dragon City.

It was just that he deliberately drew them in a crooked and broken way.

If she had been an ordinary person, she might have thought that his fingers were cramping up and he was drawing randomly.

However, Meng Chao believed that the Ancient Dream Saintess would definitely be able to sense the ancient era’s mystery from the incomplete strokes.

“I, I don’t really remember.”

After drawing three or four broken runes in a row, Meng Chao seemed to have exhausted his energy. He clutched his head and moaned as if he was about to have a splitting headache. “Every time I try to draw these runes clearly, I can’t remember. My head hurts. My head hurts!”

The Ancient Dream Saintess hurried forward and gently held Meng Chao’s temple with both hands. Then, she injected two streams of gentle spirit energy into his brain.

“It doesn’t matter. The Rat G.o.d’s blessing has its own magic. It’s not something that we can easily understand and imitate.”

The Ancient Dream Saintess softly said, “We just need to continue being infinitely devout and sacrificing everything for the rat people’s cause. The Big-horned Rat G.o.d will naturally bless us until the final victory falls into our hands!”
