Wei Huo glanced at Auntie Li and realized that she was bowing respectfully at the end of the road before retreating.
Wei Huo continued walking forward. When he reached the end, he saw nine pillars. The pillar in the middle was the tallest, and the other pillars were distributed around it, forming a clock-like building.
Then, Wei Huo saw a gigantic white stone man. The stone man was about 70 to 80 meters tall. Half of its body was embedded in the mountain, and green moss covered half of its body.
When Wei Huo entered, he saw it looking up at the sky motionlessly. If Wei Huo had not received a system notification, he would have thought that it was a huge statue.
Wei Huo saw the giant's identity through the system notification.
Mountain Giant, Epic, Genderless, 398 years old.
"200 years ago, the sun should have reached its highest position by now. However, it has only just risen. Are we 'almost there'? Or is it 'slow'? "The Mountain Giant mumbled in the language of the mountain race.
Wei Huo's lips curled up. "Do you mean that it's not that a day has grown longer, but that our reflexes and movements have become faster? That's why we feel like a day has been extended?"
It was like a person who could reach the speed of light. Everything around him was still. The Mountain Giant lowered its head and curled its lips.
At first, I really didn't know what the statues protected by the golden light were. I didn't expect them to come to life a few days ago and call themselves humans. I'm really curious about you guys. Why are you so special? "The Mountain Giant lowered his head and curled his lips slightly." Interesting. Epic-ranked humans.
Wei Huo stroked his chin. "Is that why you're protecting them? Are you observing humans and trying to understand them? What will you do if you understand them? "
The Mountain Giant said, "I won't do anything. Hmm … As long as it doesn't threaten my safety. I'm a pacifist. I believe that all living creatures in the world are equal. Humans, plants, and stones are all equal. I hope to live in harmony. "
Wei Huo nodded. With such an Epic-ranked creature living there and the natural barrier of the rose bushes, this place was really a paradise!
The Mountain Giant lifted its head and looked at the sky. "More than 100 years ago, a group of humans riding pegasi suddenly appeared. Each of them was at the Epic stage. They moved mountains and filled seas, transformed mountains and rivers, and captured Epic-ranked creatures. More than 100 years ago, there was a particularly violent Magic Tyrannosaurus nearby, but it was captured. Otherwise, I wouldn't have become an Epic-ranked creature.
Wei Huo knew who the Magical Tyrannosaurus was.
Therefore, no matter if you're a human or a beast, you shouldn't be too arrogant …
Wei Huo and the Mountain Giant talked for a long time. They were about the same age, so they had a lot to talk about. The Mountain Giant had his own views and thoughts on many things. Although some of these thoughts and views were immature, they gave Wei Huo new inspiration.
During the conversation, Wei Huo thought, I've never thought about these questions. I'm just answering based on the knowledge I've learned. For example, the Mountain Giant had its own views on time.
For example, the Mountain Giant had its own view of time. "There are eight hours in a day and eight hours in a night. Look at the pillar I erected on the ground in front of me. I call it the 'Pillar of the Sun'. It's used to record time. Look, the shadow has reached the longest pillar, which means that the first hour has passed."
Wei Huo knew that the so-called 'Sun Pillar' and 'Hour' had been translated by the translation machine. It could not be said accurately, but it was enough to explain what the Mountain Giant wanted to express.
Wei Huo did not have such considerations or inventions. He only said, "Based on human time, there are currently 48 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute."
The Mountain Giant was curious. "How long is one second?"
Wei Huo blinked slowly, snapped his fingers, and took two steps forward.
The Mountain Giant nodded. "I understand. Is time fast for humans because you have a short lifespan?"
Wei Huo thought about it and said, "No, we left in a hurry."
I spend four hours thinking about a problem. Sometimes, I spend an entire day observing the Sun. I think the Sun is a Mythical creature. It cares for the earth like a mother. Perhaps the earth is its child. "The Mountain Giant nodded and said," Time doesn't change or shorten. It just varies depending on how fast or slow different creatures walk.
The Mountain Giant probably had not been able to find someone to communicate with in a long time. It talked to Wei Huo a lot, told him many things, and kept telling him its story. The key was that it spoke very slowly, just like the dialogue in a domestic TV series. A TV series would end after a few sentences.
Wei Huo returned after communicating with the Mountain Giant for seven to eight hours. At that moment, the sun was in the middle of the sky. The Mountain Giant said that it needed to look at the sun and think about its life. However, before Wei Huo left, it said, "Everything has its path. We can't interfere with it. Everything has its end. We can't stop it."
Wei Huo did not understand why the Mountain Giant had said that. It was probably because it had seen too much death. Wei Huo was the same. He had also witnessed the destruction of many things. Perhaps one day, he would witness his own destruction. As the Mountain Giant had said, everything would come to an end. Wei Huo did not understand why the Mountain Giant had said that.
When Wei Huo returned to the Rose Manor, Xiao Bin and the others had already started eating for the second time. Wei Huo walked to the door and said, "We should go!"
Xiao Bin stood up immediately. Mo Guyun hesitated for a moment before standing up as well. However, Lu Ren, Long Tao, and Liu Ying did not move.
Wei Huo frowned slightly. The atmosphere suddenly changed. Everyone looked at Wei Huo in fear, especially Lu Ren and Long Tao.
Mo Guyun walked over and said, "Little Sister Liu Ying is not in good health. She is not suitable for a long journey with us. Auntie Li and I talked for a long time. Why don't we let her stay here?"
Wei Huo nodded. "I won't force anyone. Those who want to stay can stay!"
Wei Huo looked at Xiao Bin. "Are you staying?"
Xiao Bin shook his head firmly. "No, I want to follow you, Big Brother Wei." Wei Huo looked at Lu Ren and Long Tao again.
Wei Huo looked at Lu Ren and Long Tao again. The two of them stood up and were at a loss. They did not dare look up under Wei Huo's gaze, but they still said submissively, "I'm sorry, Big Brother Wei. We want to stay. It's too dangerous to travel outside. With our strength, we will only be a burden to you. Next time, we will follow you!"
