Chapter 157 His wish, leave it to me.
After the soldier revealed that he had achieved his goal, Ying frowned and pressed for more information.
"What is it?"
The soldiers didn't take Ying's threatening tone seriously.
After a moment's thought, he said dismissively, "It wouldn't hurt to tell you. The starry sky itself is a colossal lie."
Mona was utterly bewildered by the soldiers' nonsensical ramblings.
"The starry sky...a lie? What does that mean?"
Staring at the soldier's face, Mona mentally rehearsed what he had just said several times.
However, the results of each divination were the same; the soldier was not lying.
Mona grew increasingly suspicious and was prepared to fight back. She wasn't going to give up until she got to the bottom of things.
"Are you trying to refute Mona's astrological theories? Well, there's no need to say 'the starry sky itself is a lie.' At night, if you look up at the sky, you can see the stars directly, right? It's common sense..."
Hearing Paimon's words, the skirmishers arrogantly burst into laughter.
"Ha...hahahahaha! Still saying such naive things!"
The stragglers laughed for a while before calming down.
"However, it's not your fault, because until recently, I believed the same thing..."
Mona has the ability to see through lies, and she was able to discern the truth from the words spoken by the skirmisher.
Although she really wanted to retort, the soldier was right, so Mona had to suppress her anger.
Having confirmed that the skirmishers were indeed not hostile, Mona lowered her guard and pressed, "Until just now? You mean...?"
Before Mona could even ask, the skirmisher interrupted her.
"Hmph, I don't have time to discuss these things with you anymore."
As he spoke, the skirmisher turned around and looked at the meteorite core that he had placed a restriction on, which was floating in the air, and began to complain.
"That 'Clown' guy... he assigned me this task without any prior warning about possible 'discoveries'... was he trying to scare me?! I have to uncover the truth now."
As he spoke, the stragglers glanced sideways at him and said goodbye with disdain.
"Well then, goodbye, newbies!"
After saying this, the stragglers turned and boarded the Fools' rowboats without looking back, returning to the large ship.
Mona and Ying originally wanted to stop each other from leaving, but a group of Fools appeared out of nowhere and blocked their way.
Helpless, they could only watch the other person leave.
Being described as a newbie infuriated Mona, who was just waiting for a good punching bag to vent her anger.
"He just left like that? And he called us newbies?! How dare he look down on me, damn it... It seems it's time to let them experience the wrath of this genius!"
Having uttered these harsh words, Mona's Eye of God flashed, and she unleashed all the magic she had ever learned, launching an attack on the Fools' soldiers.
Seeing this, Huiyuan did not intervene, but silently cast a shield on him and added elemental power.
(So angry? Well... you can take your anger out on these fools.)
Ying stared in astonishment at the enraged Mona, thinking to herself, "(Mona is actually a tigress!)"
Half a minute later, several more mutilated human bodies appeared on the beach.
Some of their eyelids, mouths, noses, ears, and buttocks were blocked by mud and sand.
Some of them had every joint in their body dislocated, including their fingers.
Some were upside down, with half their bodies buried in the soil.
"This is what happens when you anger me!"
Mona patted the sand off her body and angrily stomped on the head on the ground.
Ying felt a chill run down her spine and retracted her earlier description of Mona as a tigress, quickly praising her instead.
"Mona is amazing."
"Of course! Paimon, you think I'm amazing too, right? Right, right?"
"Yes, yes, without Mona, we would probably be in even bigger trouble."
Having received Paimon's approval, Mona released the Fools at her feet and looked in the direction the skirmishers had left, hurling insults at them.
"Ha, did you hear that! Executor of the Fools! You wicked man!"
After calming down, Mona began to think things through.
"But judging from his shocked expression just now, he didn't seem to be lying. Could the 'false heaven' that Master mentioned when teaching me astrology have another meaning? Ah... cough cough, I've been daydreaming. Well then, let's get to our most important task."
After Mona lifted the restrictions that the skirmishers had placed on the meteorite core, Paimon began to examine it.
"Wow, is this the core? It's different from other meteorites! It has a... bright feel to it?"
The meteorite emitted a gentle breeze, accompanied by wind element particles resembling the orbits of constellations.
Huiyuan walked forward curiously and began to observe.
"I can sense that it possesses astonishing elemental power and intent; it is definitely the core."
Looking at the meteorite core, which was as magnificent as a jewel and as beautiful as starlight, and as large as a person, Ying felt a little reluctant to destroy it.
After much hesitation, Ying tentatively asked, "Should we...destroy it?"
Mona gave the answer without hesitation.
"Yes, people won't wake up unless it's cleared away... This core is the root of everything."
This meteorite carries the wishes of people from two thousand years ago.
Even though that ancient person has been gone for so long, his wish still remains in the starry sky, and is still so dazzling.
It's hard to imagine what kind of person could have such a strong desire.
Huiyuan reached out and touched the meteorite, saying to everyone, "Leave his wish to me."
Seeing this, Paimon offered encouragement.
"Go, Lingling!"
Encouraged by Paimon, Hui began to channel elemental power into the meteorite's core.
The meteorite emitted a dazzling light, and the wind elemental force brushed against their cheeks, pulling everyone present into a dream.
......
The bard's flute music echoed among the towering, cloud-piercing peaks.
Free white doves soar freely among the mountains. Their calls seem to be showing off the scenery they have seen.
Sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining on the white earth and mountains.
A middle-aged man with gray hair, relentlessly climbing upwards.
"With a rope, you can climb up the cliff."
The thunderous storm whipped up layers of waves on the water's surface.
"With a wooden boat, one can drift into the sea."
Having traversed countless lands and filled with passion, he stood atop the cliff, overwhelmed with emotion.
"Before I turned 40, I had explored all the hidden places. Only Pinnacle Peak ended my adventure career. Or perhaps, what it ended was more than just that."
Looking up at the unreachable peak, he slumped helplessly onto the snow.
