You need to recuperate properly. Dont be too excited. When you return to the army after recovering from your injuries, you will assume an even more important role in the White Bone Battalion.

The Ancient Dream Saintess smiled and comforted Meng Chao. At that time, we can fight together for all the rat people and the Rat God!

I will, Saintess. I will!

Meng Chao was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He shouted in a hoarse voice, The runes that the Rat God gave me helped me to keep my life in the raging flames. I will definitely recover as soon as possible and die for the Rat God!

The Ancient Dream Saintess had already shifted her gaze to the next seriously injured person.

The words the runes that the Rat God gave me stunned her slightly. She then shifted her gaze back.

What runes?

Her eyes shone with interest.

There were also a few spirit ripples in her voice, as though they were going to stir up waves deep in Meng Chaos brain.

Thats right. The runes that I saw when I fell off the cliff as a child, Ancient Dream Saintess. Those must be the blessings that the Rat God gave me, right?

Meng Chao paused for a moment and pretended to come to his senses. Thats right. Ive never told anyone about this. When I was young, our family lived in a small mountain village that was surrounded by high peaks and dense forests.

Although mandrake fruits were scattered all over the mountains and plains, the number of people who picked them was really limited. Moreover, the old warrior who ruled the small mountain village also requested us to pay the Mandrake Tax with golden fruits of the highest grade. The entire village to had no choice but to venture into the deep mountains and forests repeatedly. In the end, the totem beasts that were hibernating there were alerted.

I remember that we alerted an entire nest of totem beasts. The howls of ferocious beasts could be heard everywhere in the entire mountain forest.

Many people were bitten to death by the totem beasts, which gnawed them into pieces.

Those who had survived, were in a panic, and they gradually escaped to the end of the road.

I was separated from my family, and I stumbled up a cliff. There were also cliffs on my left and right. Before me was the abyss, while behind me, the hungry roars of the totem beasts were getting closer and closer.

I was completely disheartened. I closed my eyes and jumped down from the edge of the cliff.

I just thought that even if I the fall breaks my body into pieces, it would be much more satisfying than falling into the totem beasts bloody mouth and have it slowly tear off every piece of flesh on my body.

I never thought that I wouldnt fall to my death.

There was a very strange airflow at the bottom of the cliff. It was like a soft cushion that supported my back.

There were also dense mandrake branches along the way. They crisscrossed like a huge rope net, continuously reducing my speed.

Finally, there was a thick blanket of bacteria growing at the bottom of the cliff. It was both soft and elastic. I landed on it and bounced back and forth. Aside from my face being bruised and swollen, I actually didnt suffer any other serious injuries.

I stood up in a daze and found myself in a strange and unbelievable new world.

There were crystal-clear things, which I couldnt tell were ores or plants. I had never heard of or seen them before I was on the cliff.

I also discovered a cave at the bottom of the cliff. The depths of the cave shimmered with dim light, and it emitted an indescribable, seductive voice. It was as if it was calling me to go in and explore.

I walked into the cave in a stupor. I didnt know how many turns I took in the cave, but I eventually saw a huge, magnificent stone wall. Hundreds of runes that I couldnt understand were carved on it. Every rune was flowing with brilliant colors and emanating magnificent light like colorful streams.

Like a fool, I stayed in the cave for a few days in my dazed state. I didnt feel hungry or thirsty. I couldnt help but stare at those runes, as though I wanted to imprint every single one of them into my brain.

I dont really remember what happened after that.

I only remember that for some unknown reason, I left the mysterious world under the cliff and returned to my home at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at my barren, abandoned home that was reminiscent of a graveyard, I sensed something amiss.

I finally found a familiar, crazy old man in the desolate village. Only then did I learn that the last time I went to the mountain to collect golden fruits, the village had suffered heavy losses. Almost all the young and strong people had lost their lives to the totem beasts claws. My parents did not make it back alive either.

Only the old, weak, sick, and disabled were left in the village. The villagers who still had a chance of survival went to the nearby villages. Meanwhile, the villagers who were too old to walk were left there to wait for death.

It had been half a year since the harvesting team encountered the totem beasts in the depths of the forest!

How strange. I felt like I only stayed in the cave for three to five days at most. After leaving the forest, it merely took me half a day to return home. Although my stomach was growlin
