Huang Baiyi was a good person, Ye Chong quickly came to this conclusion after spending a few days with him. He was knowledgeable and well-mannered, and knew the ways of the world. Even a cold person like Ye Chong quickly became familiar with him.
"Did you find anything?" Huang Baiyi asked.
Ye Chong had to go out every day to investigate the surrounding terrain, to see if he could find a way out. Huang Baiyi had done this before, and while he did not have much hope, he still asked with concern.
Ye Chong shook his head, "No." He did not find a way out. There were only two directions here, one was the Black Forest, and the other was to go up to the peak, where the cliff was thousands of feet high. If he had a mech with him, even the simplest Raven would be a piece of cake for him to leave this place. Unfortunately, he had nothing with him. His bag, which never left his side, had been fastened to Rui Bing in a moment of desperation. All his belongings were in it.
Technology was power! Now he had a deep understanding of this point.
"Take your time. You'll find that we have plenty of time," Huang Baiyi comforted him. He had been living here for 10 years, and was used to the loneliness. He had given up on the idea of leaving many years ago. Now that he had someone to keep him company, he was more than satisfied.
"Yes," Ye Chong replied. As he roasted the fish, he thought to himself, "If there is no other way out, then I'll have to go into the Black Forest again." There was a deep pool here, with fish the size of a palm, and very tender. To Ye Chong, collecting some seasonings in the Black Forest was a piece of cake. The only thing he was worried about was passing through the canyon. Fortunately, he did not encounter those two terrifying creatures again. His food was soon plentiful.
Huang Baiyi did not like meat, and usually ate fruits. Ye Chong found it strange that he did not suffer from malnutrition. It was a miracle.
However, Ye Chong would bring him some fruits every time. The Black Forest had more varieties of fruits than the ones on the map. Huang Baiyi's body was frail, just walking like this was enough to tire him out. Ye Chong could not figure out how he managed to climb up to such a high place.
"Are you really not interested in learning something about mentalists?" Huang Baiyi asked again after eating the fruit.
"No," Ye Chong replied bluntly.
"Uh, let's find something to pass the time. Do you know how to play chess? "Huang Baiyi asked expectantly.
Ye Chong shook his head. "No." Mu Zhong did not teach him how to play chess, but he seemed to enjoy playing this game with Little Rock.
"Then I'll teach you." Huang Baiyi's interest did not diminish in the slightest.
"Nope," Ye Chong rejected without hesitation.
"Why?" Huang Baiyi was puzzled.
Ye Chong looked at Huang Baiyi curiously. "What's the point of learning this?"
"To kill time," Huang Baiyi answered matter-of-factly.
"Time is precious," Ye Chong disagreed with Huang Baiyi's statement.
Huang Baiyi looked at Ye Chong like he was looking at a monster, "What do you usually do?"
"Study and practice," Ye Chong's answer was simple, but he added, "And think."
"What about other times?" Huang Baiyi asked curiously.
"Other times?" Ye Chong was puzzled by the way he asked, "Other times?"
Even though Huang Baiyi's mental fortitude had reached an unparalleled level, he was still defeated by the question, "Do you only do these three things every day?" He was already sweating profusely.
"That's not entirely correct." Ye Chong paused for a moment, and corrected, "Other than normal activities like eating and sleeping, 90% of my time is spent on these three things, and the remaining 10% is spent on consumption."
"Haha." Huang Baiyi felt the muscles on his face stiffen, and laughed dryly, "Is there any joy in such a life?"
"Joy?" Ye Chong tilted his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Isn't it fun to grow stronger?" In his mind, growing stronger was probably the greatest joy.
"That's true, that's true." For a moment, Huang Baiyi found himself at a loss for words, and did not know what to say.
After a moment of silence, Huang Baiyi suddenly asked, "Do you have a goal in life?"
"Goal in life?" Ye Chong was taken aback, and could not help but recall the term. Suddenly, Mu, Shang and Rui Bing flashed across his mind, and he could not help but say, "Finding a companion."
"A good goal." Huang Baiyi regained his composure and smiled lightly, "You're much better than when I was young."
"When you were young?" Ye Chong remembered that the man before him was already 66 years old.
"Yes." Huang Baiyi sighed softly, "When I was young, I only thought of revenge. Until 10 years ago, I still thought of revenge. "His words were full of bitterness, and a little regret of the passage of time.
"Revenge?" Ye Chong raised an eyebrow. The term was not unfamiliar to him, as he had thought of it before. He had thought of revenge for his papa. However, it was left unsettled in the end, and he was now indifferent to everything. Even if he killed all those who had harmed his papa, his papa would not come back to life. Being too stubborn would not be the best choice. Even when it came to his own background, he was still indifferent. The Ye family might be related to him in some way, but so what? He did not have any sense of identity with them. He had never felt any connection with them.
He had Mu, Shang, and Rui Bing. While his relationship with her was a little complicated, and he did not understand it yet, these were the people who were truly related to him.
What did the other people and things have to do with him? After all these years of wandering and fighting, Ye Chong had long understood what he cared about. Once he found Mu, Shang and Rui Bing, they would all find a safe place to live in peace.
This was his greatest wish, and it was also his only wish.
Huang Baiyi's nostalgic voice interrupted Ye Chong's thoughts, "Yes, it's revenge. Now, I feel that these things are meaningless, but back then, I really only thought of revenge. "
"Why?"
"Our tribe, was a big one." Huang Baiyi's faint voice was tinged with pride and nostalgia, "It used to be glorious, but now it's all over again. Of course, I did not experience it. When I was born, there were only 13 of us left. I was the only one of my generation. "
Ye Chong could not help but feel shocked. He had studied history for a while, and while it was a short period, he still knew the basics. When a tribe fell to this stage, it could be said to be extinct. Even the most basic reproduction couldn't be done.
"Our tribe's bloodline is a little special. Only the children born from the marriage of a man and a woman of the same tribe will have some of the characteristics of this tribe. By the time I was born, this tribe was basically extinct. " Huang Baiyi's eyes flashed with pain, and continued, "I only realized after I grew up that our tribe was not like this before. Our tribe was the natives of the free space zone, the real natives. One day, the free space zone was flooded with people. They were much more technologically advanced than us, but they did not seem to be interested in technology. They were not difficult to get along with, and even invited the most important tribe of the natives to visit them. Our tribe was the most famous among the natives, so of course we were invited. However, it was also that time, when we saw the advanced technology of the outsiders, that there was a serious disagreement within the tribe.
Some of them believed that the best development would be in the free space zone, while the others insisted on the ancient tradition. In the end, the tribe split. Some of them left the free space zone. From then on, the tribe declined little by little until it reached its current state. "
Ye Chong felt like he was struck by lightning, and blurted out, "The Xi Feng Tribe!" He remembered the little boy mentioning that the Xi Feng Tribe had split from the free space zone.
"Huh?" Huang Baiyi was surprised, "I didn't expect you to know about it." He smiled bitterly, "I thought only the older generation would remember our tribe." As he spoke, he did not seem to realize that he was already 66 years old.
Ye Chong quickly calmed down after the initial shock. The Xi Feng Tribe he mentioned was completely different from what Huang Baiyi had told him. Huang Baiyi probably did not expect the young man before him to be an outsider.
"Ever since I could remember, I always had a dream. I wanted to find the people who had left the free space zone. While I did not know what I could do with them, I just wanted to find them. Haha, don't you think it's funny? However, after I tried my best to find out, I got a bad news. Back then, the outsiders destroyed the tunnel after our people left the free space zone. The free space zone was then truly isolated from the outside world. That time, I lost all hope. "
Ye Chong did not say anything. He knew that there must be a way to He Yue galaxy in the free space zone. At least, wasn't the path they took?
"Not long after that, I reached a bottleneck in my training. So I began to wander around, looking for a way to break through. In the end, I met my people. "At that moment, Huang Baiyi, who had been calm all this while, suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes.
Ye Chong could feel a strong sense of oppression coming from Huang Baiyi. How strong was Huang Baiyi's mental strength?
Huang Baiyi quickly calmed down, and the pressure disappeared. He smiled at Ye Chong apologetically, and continued, "I don't know how much you know about mentalists. Just like combat, mentalists have their own schools of thought. Because of our bloodline, our way of training is very different from other schools. I recognized them right away. They should be the direct descendants of our tribe. But strangely enough, as mentalists, their cultivation was very low.
Maybe you can't understand. All of us are natural-born mentalists, but the feeling I get from them is that they don't specialize in spiritual cultivation. They were also mixed with something else. "
Mentalists! The term flashed in Ye Chong's mind. After all, the most popular profession out there was still mech pilot. Ye Chong remembered the strength of these mech pilots.
"That time, I won, one against three." One against three. "Huang Baiyi's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something that couldn't be more normal. Ye Chong was speechless. The mentalists in the Sanctuary were strong enough, and they were only the outer members of Xi Feng Tribe. How strong would the real direct descendants of Xi Feng Tribe be? Since Huang Baiyi was able to take on three of them at once, just how strong was he?
"Although I won, I could not feel happy at all. I was angry, really angry. That was the first time I was truly angry since I was young. I did not expect their spiritual level to be so low. Were they going to abandon the last tradition of their tribe? After that, I continued to investigate, and I was more and more shocked. They had changed, and all the traditions were gone. They became more aggressive. What I could not accept the most was that I found out the child abductors were somehow related to them. "
Ye Chong was shocked. The child abductors were related to the Xi Feng Tribe? So …
"I began to hunt the child abductors. My idea was simple, I wanted them to understand the strength of mentalists! I wanted them to return to this tradition. "
Ye Chong could not help but shake his head. In front of a mech, be it a mentalist or a combat expert, they were all weak. Xi Feng Tribe's choice was undoubtedly better.
"Everywhere I went, I would investigate carefully. If I could capture one of the child abductors, the local base would not be able to escape, "Huang Baiyi said calmly. Ye Chong knew that Huang Baiyi was not exaggerating. Mentalists were experts in mind control, and there were many applications like hypnosis, not to mention a super mentalist like Huang Baiyi.
"I lived like this for three years. In those three years, I broke through my first bottleneck. Unfortunately, the starships in the free space zone had strict restrictions, even for me, it was not easy to get in. That's why I've slowed down my progress. Otherwise, they would be in big trouble. "His calm voice contained a hint of coldness.
Ye Chong sat up straight, stared at Huang Baiyi and asked word by word, "There are starships in the free space zone?" He never thought that there would be starships in the free space zone. It was unbelievable.
How could there be a starship here?
