The Return of Cambrian Period Volume 1 Chapter 11 9 Dec 30, 2019

"Come, this day finally comes ..."

"Wake up, it has finally waken up ..."

An old, distant voice resonated in the dark void, as if it was far far away, near the edge of the sky, yet seemed to be just around the ears.

Who? Who is talking?

A long sigh came from the void, as if time had passed tens of millions of years. The voice, which filled with profound helplessness and compassion, quietly came to you. That sigh could make anyone cannot help but shed their tears.

Cong Xia couldn't feel his body. He also didn't know where he was. Only the voice of the old man who had been through great hardship of life was exceptionally clear.

Am I dead? Is this the world after death? Whose voice is this? The King of the Nether World? What does "this day" mean? Who has waken up?

There was a series of questions inside Cong Xia's head, but he could do nothing. He was like a lone soul, with no body nor voice. He existed in this dark void, but he couldn't tell how he could do so.

The old voice once again resonated.

"Use your blood to seal the contract, from now on, you are my only descendant. I hope you will be careful and diligent, study my words and save my tribe. Remember... Remember, your mission is to let it fall asleep, let it fall asleep ..."

What? What descendant? Make whom fall asleep?

He didn't have much time to think. Suddenly, there was light in the dark void and a dark green light cluster appeared in the "front" of Cong Xia.

Isn't this the "heart" of that big mushroom?

The light grew bigger and bigger, until its light filled the entire black void, and the thing surrounded by the light also became clearer and clearer.

It was an oval jade that had the size of an adult body, with a smooth and quaint texture. The jade was covered with countless small Sanskrit words. Those Sanskrit words radiated golden light and they gradually materialized into the void. The size became larger and the words became clearer. They were constantly flowing and bouncing in "front" of Cong Xia. An ethereal hum resonated in the void, which sounded extremely sacred.

[Note: Sanskrit is a language of ancient India with a 3,500-year history. It is the primary liturgical language of Hinduism and the predominant language of most works of Hindu philosophy as well as some of the principal texts of Buddhism and Jainism.]

Cong Xia looked at the words that were as big as a ladle and emitting golden light in surprise. He shouldn't understand these ancient and mysterious words, but he somehow could understand them all!

The greenness of the ancient jade and the golden light of Sanskrit words responded to one another. They were holy and magnificent. Suddenly, the light became greatly radiant. Cong Xia subconsciously closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the first thing that he saw was Cheng Tianbi's face.

"You're awake."

Cheng Tianbi pushed his eyelids open and looked at his eyeballs carefully. Cong Xia uncomfortably pushed his hand away.

"I... This..."

He turned his head to look around and found that they were still at the place of the big mushroom, but the mushroom had already withered. The plump and transparent cap was wrinkled and withered. The blue veins also disappeared. The whole mushroom lifelessly fell to the ground. Even all the surrounding mushrooms withered in the blink of an eye, as if the danger that they had just experienced was just their hallucination.

Cong Xia suddenly stood up from the ground, then he felt there was something in his hand. He looked down and saw that there was a palm-sized oval jade in his hand. It was dark green, transparent in texture, smooth and quaint. This was that jade. The jade that he saw in the void! It was just a lot smaller. Moreover, there was no texts on it. It was just a piece of jade that looked extremely ordinary and had blood on it. Cheng Tianbi glanced at his palm.

"This is the heart of the mushroom. You have been holding it even after passing out. This piece of jade must have some kinds of healing ability. Look at yourself."

Cong Xia looked at his own body. He clearly remembered that before he lost his consciousness, his calves, his knees and the body parts below his wrists were all immersed in the mushroom mucus. They were so corroded that the bones could be seen. The severe pain was definitely not his hallucination, but right now, he had no injuries on his body. His skin was intact. Only the burnt shoes and damaged clothes could prove what had just happened.

Cong Xia looked at the ancient jade in shock. Everything was not hallucination. This ancient jade was a magical instrument left by an ancient man. Moreover, there was a lot of important information in it.

No matter what this piece of jade was, the ability to heal human body alone already made it a super treasure, otherwise he would already be a skeleton.

Cong Xia suddenly raised his head and rushed to Cheng Tianbi, grabbed his shoulder and worriedly shouted.

"Are you all right? What happened after that? Are you not injured?"

Cheng Tianbi shook his head.

"I only saw this piece of jade floating up, the light was very dazzling. I also fainted. When I woke up, I saw you holding this piece of jade. All the mushrooms here are dead."

Cong Xia was relieved and murmured.

"We're alive."

Cheng Tianbi took the flashlight and shone around, seeing areas of mushrooms perished, thinking about the fact that they were still breathing at this time, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

Cong Xia was still horrified until now, but his curiosity over the ancient jade overcame his fear. He repeatedly flipped the ancient jade in his hand back and forth and looked at it, wondering what mystery it possessed. Cheng Tianbi looked at him being a little bit frantic and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"When I was unconscious, my consciousness went into a dark place, and then something weird happened."

Cheng Tianbi looked at him and then looked at the piece of jade.

"Bring this piece of jade with us, let's talk as we walk."

Cong Xia got up from the ground, the two of them jumped off the big mushroom and walked towards the passage behind the mushroom.

All the fungi on the ground were dead. They finally didn't have to move forward on the slippery mucus. However, Cong Xia's shoes had been burned and it was very uncomfortable to walk barefoot. He only stepped on the weeds and stones for a short time and already frowned. He practically had to hop to move forward. Cheng Tianbi glanced back at him, then took off his shoes.

"Put them on."

Cong Xia's cheeks became hot, he waved his hands repeatedly.

"No need to. No need to. I'll get used to it after a while."

"You affect our speed."

Cheng Tianbi commanded.

"Wear them."

Cong Xia looked at him in embarrassment, he really didn't want to continue being a burden, but under Cheng Tianbi's dominating gaze, he still bent down and put on his shoes.

Cheng Tianbi's shoes were standard military boots. The front of the boots was also equipped with iron pieces, which were not only heavy but also uncomfortable to wear. In addition, Cheng Tianbi's feet were bigger than his. For someone who had a thin body like Cong Xia wore this pair of boots, it looked a little funny.

Cong Xia looked at Cheng Tianbi awkwardly and tried to take a few steps. It was indeed more comfortable than walking barefoot. Moreover, he didn't have to worry about stepping on something that he shouldn't step on every time he landed his feet. Cong Xia whispered.

"Thank you."

He was taken care of by a man who was five years younger than himself. He felt pretty bad. He also hope he could do something for Cheng Tianbi instead of being such a burden all the time.

Cheng Tianbi leaded the way in front without any hesitation. The more they walked, the more they felt the ground became drier, the road also became a lot easier to walk on.

At this point they were already very hungry. If they could not get out of the sewage pipe within a few hours, they would have to solve the eating problem on the spot. Cong Xia asked.

"How long was I unconscious?"

"About an hour."

"How about you?"

"Pretty much the same as you."

"You are probably really hungry, I am hungry too."

Cheng Tianbi didn't want to tell him that he was already so hungry that he felt dizzy, especially when he released a wind blade when he was transported by the group of mushrooms. At that moment, he felt like his body was hollowed out. He was so hungry that his stomach was throbbing in agony. He had gone through hunger training while he was in the army. He used to rely on the most basic things like drinking water and extremely small amount of food to provide energy for a week. At the same time, he had to carry out excessive physical exercises. At that time, he still could endure it. Moreover, the feeling of extreme hunger that made the whole body convulsed only appeared at least on the fifth day of the hunger training. However, it had passed only 10 hours since the last time he ate.

It seemed that his evolutionary ability was at the expense of his physical strength, at least it was like that for the time being.

In order to endure a little longer, he changed the subject.

"Tell me about ancient jade, what have you gotten yourself into?"

"Ah."

Cong Xia organized what to say and said.

"After I was unconscious, my consciousness entered a dark void, and then I heard a very old voice ..."

He described everything that he heard and saw in the void to Cheng Tianbi. After listening to him, Cheng Tianbi was silent for a long time.

Cong Xia pondered.

"I don't know why, but compared to who the old man was and the secret of this piece of jade, I want to know even more about what "it" is or who "it" is that the old man talked about. If we analyze this logically, he meant only by letting "it" fall asleep that "my tribe" could be saved, but what tribe is "my tribe", human?"

Cheng Tianbi muttered.

"When connecting what is happening now with the time this jade appeared, it must be related to this great evolution."

Cong Xia giggled.

"Don't tell me that this jade wants me to save the humanity."

After he finished talking, he glanced at the jade in his hand again, he still couldn't see any clues.

Even though he was struck by such an unbelievable event, what happened in the past two days had made him never be able to feel anything odd ever again. Anything could happen in this weird world. How could a person like him who didn't have much skill be given any heavy tasks. He just hoped that he and Cheng Tianbi could live one day longer. Even if it was just for one day.

No matter what, this piece of jade had the ability to heal. Such a magical weapon like this, he definitely must study how to use it and guard it well.

Cheng Tianbi was silent for a long time.

"If you can get out of here, you must thoroughly study this piece of jade."
