Being Blind For Five Years, All My Disciples Became Forbidden Curse Mages - Chapter 162

162 Facing a Great Crisis

Layers upon layers of lacerations, continuous sneak attacks, and double assassinations, as well as continuous protective Forbidden Spells for the Troll Barbarian Soldiers.

If not for Elsa’s Prayer of Life, which increases attack power, Fang Ping was afraid that he would die if he was not careful. He did not dare to use skills on others.

“I know, I know. In the situation just now, it shouldn’t be much. How about this? The price will be doubled. Two silver coins for the Normal level and ten silver coins for the Excellent level. How about that? This is a deposit of two silver coins. The remuneration for using the skill will be calculated separately.

We know each other. You can’t bear to see me die, right?”

Gran immediately took out two silver dragons and stuffed them into Fang Ping’s hands.

Fang Ping did not know what to say when he heard his own price increase, or even double. Was this the life of a rich man? He was not short of money and can be willful and stubborn about things.

“Okay, I will do my best.”

Fang Ping accepted the two silver dragons. He was still short of money. Moreover, one Excellent-grade and ten Silver Dragons… Such easy money.

After all, this price was calculated based on a normal person’s energy consumption. Fang Ping had the special Charging characteristic, so his energy consumption was only half.

However, he had still consumed a lot of energy today. Seven Normal-grade skills and one Excellent-grade skill. Over the past few days, he had accumulated 2,300 points of energy and lost another 100 points.

“I don’t think this journey will be easy. Fang Ping, do you know why the wild beasts are attacking us so desperately?”

Gran’s expression relaxed after he gave him the money, and his tone became much more relaxed.

“I don’t know.”

Fang Ping shook his head. There must be some history involved.

It seemed like Gran was going to start again.

“Before we Humans and Elves rose to power, do you know who ruled the land?”

“Dragon race?”

“Dragons, Angels, and Demons.”

Fang Ping looked at Gran in surprise. “So Angels and Demons are real too?”

“Of course, it’s just that for some reason, they slowly disappeared like the Dragons. They can only be found in rare places.

“Just like General Vincent. He really killed a Dragon to get this title. Do you think Demon-Hunter General Van Helsing has an undeserved reputation?”

“The Demon-Hunter General Van Helsing?” Fang Ping repeated Gran’s words. “So he killed the demon?”

“Of course. But that’s not the point. In those ancient times, the continent was controlled by Angels, Demons, and Dragons. Other races lived in their cracks. You know the species of wild beasts, don’t you?”

“Species? Lizards, Bats, hunting dogs?” Fang Ping had not studied seriously for more than a few days. He did not really understand such theoretical things.

“They are Lizards, bats, canines, strange beasts, and mixed beasts. This is the more common beast classification now, but in the past, there was no such classification.

Mixed beasts were said to be the product of Angels and Demons. Angels created Griffins, Demons created Chimeras, and there were countless wild beasts used for experiments. It was said that wild beasts almost went extinct because of this.

“In the end, the wild beasts sought the protection of the Dragon race and were able to survive. Therefore, to the wild beasts, the Dragon race was their guardian.”

Fang Ping shook his head. “But these are all legends, right? Moreover, it’s been so many years. Would the wild beasts of today still care about these things? They’ve lost their lives. History, legends, and protectors are all fake.”

“What do you know? Beasts are more resolute. They’re stubborn. How else do you explain why they kept hunting us after the adult Lightning Wyvern died?”

“Well, you can’t explain it that way. There might be such a history, but that doesn’t mean that their current actions are because of this.”

Gran seemed to be very interested in history. He must have read a lot about it, but the purpose of history is not used to deduce or predict the outcome.

Fang Ping patted him on the shoulder. “Gran, don’t say these things out loud. It’ll make you look a little silly.”

Being Bogu does not make you familiar with today.

“You!” Gran wanted to flare up, but he remembered that he still needed Fang Ping’s help, so he swallowed his words. “Then forget it, since you don’t believe me.”

However, Fang Ping was more interested in one part of what Gran said.

“Gran, you said that mixed beasts are the products of Angels and Demons. Then, when we went to the Dark Forest and met the traitor Mendes, he also mentioned the fusion in Canaan. Is that the same thing?”

“Shh!” Gran quickly made a shushing gesture and looked around. When he realized that no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and said, “Are you crazy? Do you want to die?”

Fang Ping looked at Gran, who looked as if he was facing a great enemy. He was a little confused. What was going on? He could not even mention it?

“Don’t you know the ban issued by King Augustus? It’s strictly forbidden to talk about that city, and hundreds of people have been killed for it. How dare you say that?”

Fang Ping now knew why he had never heard the name Canaan before. What was the Silver Moon Chariot doing? And what was Tang Jie doing?

Fang Ping did not know if Gran knew something, but he continued to ask, “I don’t know about this. Is there anything special about this city?”

Gran took a deep breath and slowed down. He put some distance between himself and the person in front before saying, “Whatever I am going to tell you, make sure not to spread it.”

“Okay.”

“I don’t know much either. All I know is that it’s a city where cultists gather. They’re trying to imitate Angels and Demons, creating fused creatures like they’re creating mixed beasts. And their experimental target is us humans.

“The physical fitness of us Humans is not outstanding among the seven major races. It’s only because of the existence of the Awakening Stone that our characteristics are more varied. Coupled with specific weapons and equipment, we are even stronger. This is also the foundation of our human make up.

“Therefore, the purpose of these cultists is, firstly, to allow everyone to awaken their characteristics through the Awakening Stone. Secondly, by fusing with the bodies of other races, they can make human bodies stronger.”

“Isn’t this too evil?”

“Yes, it’s said that more than half of the people in that city died because of this. The experiment was also urgently stopped. All the participants were executed, but the matter was far from over. More than ten years later, the children in that city grew up. Their bodies were powerful, and they learned skills quickly.

“One Awakening Stone can awaken a characteristic, but their brains are abnormal. They’re all lunatics and fools. Moreover, it’s said that this flaw can be inherited. Their descendants are also flawed.”

“Then, isn’t this too scary?” Fang Ping suddenly thought of a certain genetic surgery.

If this fusion was a genetic modification, causing the human gene pool to be contaminated, then as time passed, Humans would slowly walk towards extinction without the need for external power.

“Fortunately, that place has long been sealed off. It’s said that the entire place has been moved to a small plane and has never contacted the outside world again. Otherwise, we Humans would really be facing a huge crisis.”

‘Yes?’

‘So how did I get here?’

“Gran, where did you get this information?”

“Some of it was in the announcement. Some of it was hearsay.”
