Chapter 870: Drifting Feathered Scholar

How long have you been in the time-stop zone?

Joseph didn't know.

Time has become meaningless here.

Whether it's the winged man or the cursed insect, as long as they are here, their lives will not be lost naturally.

Joseph remembered that a biologist teacher said that the power of time is closely related to the life of organisms.

When you are tired, you will sleep, when you are hungry, you will eat, and as you age, life will enter death, these processes constitute a time period.

There is a timer in the body of life.

Maybe there are differences between different individuals, but the process from birth to death is basically the same.

In order to better cooperate and coordinate with each other, everyone agreed to a unified time, so they knew to get up at dawn, eat on time at noon, and sleep naturally after nightfall.

In the Yao civilization, people unified each other's time agreements, which became a national habit.

However, there is no soil for unified time in the time-stop zone.

The winged man and the cursed insect will not age or die naturally. Even if they do nothing and lie in a small hole, they can survive unless the black matter disaster or other people attack.

Perhaps because of immortality, most places in the Time Stop Zone are lifeless, and a large number of curse tribes and curse insects are motionless.

Standing still is the most common posture here.

Everyone is too lazy to move.

Joseph wondered whether it was because of this characteristic that it was difficult for a real civilization to be born in the Time Stop Zone.

There are only territories ruled by feathered monarchs, and the curse insects and curse tribes all act according to the curse orders, rather than being driven by spontaneous and positive desires.

[The Unawakened] discussed with him and said, "I think what you said makes sense. I visited many spell tribes in my past travels. They generally think that it is not necessary to waste their efforts. The important thing is to find a wise monarch to serve. If you follow the monarch's spell order, everything will become easy, and you will have a greater chance of surviving in the face of natural disasters."

"Although I have never been able to discuss with many feathered people, dukes, and even monarchs, from what I have seen and heard, because of immortality, all ethnic groups have no other desires. Without desire, there is no pursuit, so they have been stagnant for a long time."

The Unawakened is also a feathered person, claiming to be a foreign monk who has come from the wings.

It has silver skin and iron bones, a human-like body, only one light eye that can emit strong light, and two light wings behind it are usually folded in the back.

The light wings are the external manifestation of the power of the feathered people, and they will only unfold when they are used.

The Unawakened has been studying the time-stop phenomenon in the time-stop zone, and it wants to find out the cause and meaning.

On this topic, another feathered scholar [Rat Beard Scholar] stroked his long beard with his sharp claws and said, "The Time Stop Zone has been like this since ancient times. There is nothing strange about it."

"This world will only be more friendly to the monarch. As long as you can become a monarch, many difficulties can be easily solved. The monarch is the best answer to these problems, everyone."

The Unawakened is a thoughtful monk, and the Rat Beard Scholar is indeed a pragmatist who pursues simplicity.

For it, becoming a monarch can solve most of the troubles in this world.

Joseph also agreed with this view.

After his husband entered the Time Stop Zone, he negotiated and persuaded everywhere to find these two companions. Including himself, they are all wandering feathered scholars.

Rat Beard Scholar said with some concern: "The [Guerrilla Army] had tens of thousands of cursed insect soldiers before, but they were all divided and plundered by other dukes and monarchs. The road ahead is really far away."

Its claws pierced into the flowing black matter, and its eyes were slightly depressed.

The Unawakened remained silent.

Joseph smiled and said, "We have made a name for ourselves, haven't we? This is the strategic goal we want to achieve."

"You and I both know that it is difficult to form a force with just these tens of thousands of cursed insects. They are mixed, and many of them are wounded and weak people eliminated by other feathered people. They will also scatter at the first blow. As long as they encounter the curse orders of the monarch or dukes, they will turn against them without hesitation."

"The point is that our name [Guerrilla Army] has been made famous."

He looked at his two companions and said, "I'm afraid no feathered warrior is as famous as us? Openly colluding with the gods of the outside world, plotting the territory of the time-stopping zone and the throne of the monarch, this sign should leave a deep impression on everyone..."

The long whiskers of the rat whisker warrior fluttered, and its pair of lower jaws opened left and right, shaped like a pair of pliers: "You are indeed worthy of the name [Madman]. At first, I thought you were just talking, but I didn't expect you to really dare to do it. But no matter how famous you are, it seems useless. When we meet dukes, we still have to hide everywhere and can't resist them at all. . ”

The Unawakened put his hands together, and the blue eye in the center of his face glowed: "You need to have enough reputation to get the followers of the curse insects... Before the [Guerrilla Army] was hunted down last time, many wandering and fleeing curse insects had come to apply for the job, and they knew of our existence."

"Yes."

Joseph nodded: "After we become famous, we will have more opportunities. We have the followers of the curse tribe and curse insects below, and we must continue to strive for some feathered people to join us, even if it is just in name. "

"Although we are not welcome by most monarchs and dukes..."

"It's not unwelcome." The rat-bearded man corrected seriously: "It's killing without mercy."

"That's not important." Joseph waved his hand, raised his head and chest: "The important thing is that we have a good reputation. This is of course a disadvantage. After all, monarchs and dukes are gritting their teeth at heretics like us, and infamy is also a reputation. It is the most likely to be known to everyone in the time-stopping zone."

But the purpose behind it is not just that.

Joseph had never been in the army, but he was an athlete, so he knew that if he wanted to call on everyone to participate in activities like [Kuafu Chasing the Sun], he must have a simple and clear slogan.

"Run every day to strengthen your body!"

"Running is the first priority for vitality!"

Such slogans are simple and easy to understand, and can also let everyone know the benefits of participating in long-distance running.

So he set a slogan for the [Guerrilla Army].

"Join the Guerrilla Army and enjoy a feathered life!"

"Fight for yourself, we will walk with you."

It's just for show.

Of course, even if the three of them let the curse insects spread the word everywhere, their credibility has always been considered to be close to zero. It is a very difficult process to transform from a curse insect to a curse clan, and then evolve into a feathered person.

When the local feathered man Rat Beard heard it for the first time, he was very surprised: "Really?"

"Part of it is true." Joseph shrugged: "But shout it out first, maybe it will become true in the future."

"Which part is true?"

"We will go with you."

"..."

Rat Beard was so angry that he blew his beard: "Isn't this a lie! Can this really deceive the Curse Clan?"

"How should I put it?" Joseph said seriously: "Some things you have to believe in before you can do them. If you don't believe in hope and possibility, then everyone is finished, and you can only lie down and wait for the day when you will be inexplicably killed by natural disasters or monarchs."

He said this from the heart.

...

The three feathered men were discussing, and the narrow hole began to tremble, and the flow of black matter on the cave wall suddenly accelerated.

Joseph and the two feathered men curled up their bodies skillfully, turning into a white cocoon, and connected to each other.

This cocoon is called [Feather Shedding], which is a part of the feathered man's body, but it is usually the most insignificant memory part wrapped outside, so it doesn't matter even if there is a certain degree of wear and tear.

Facing the impact of the black matter or a large-scale dam burst, the feathered people are not in great danger. Only the cursed people and cursed insects are buried and destroyed.

The feathered molt drifted and rolled with the impact of the black matter.

Joseph had nothing to do and thought of the past days.

Wheat cakes, barbecue, grapes, roses, beaches, sunsets, snow, rain, beautiful girls, the shining and healing of the sun goddess, the long-distance flying boats that rushed into the void, and the magnificent ring road that circled the world...

It didn't feel strange to be in it, until these days in the time stop zone, he came to his senses and realized that he had a lot of it.

After experiencing the initial excitement and curiosity of feathering, in this seemingly immortal but actually cruel and cold world, he gradually understood why the feathered people always showed a deep indifference and numbness.

Time is like a file, which will grind away all the changing things on the body.

The longer you stay, the more you lose, and in the end, only the survival part is left.

He wants to go back.

This is also the core reason why Joseph claimed to have received the title of [Guerrilla Army] and the assistance of powerful gods.

He was thinking.

If he became famous and his deeds spread throughout the time-stop zone, then Lord Yao, who made him winged, would know his current situation, and he would have a chance to go back.

He firmly believed that Lord Yao must be staring at him in some way.

But he had to do something to attract his attention.

Just like the world of the Yao clan, once you become a hero and make great achievements that affect people and the world, the will of Lord Yao will surely come and give corresponding rewards.

In the past, Joseph didn't quite understand what it meant to have a monarch-level winged man.

Now he knows very well.

The only people that the winged monarch recognizes as superior to themselves are the [Old Ruler] who can no longer return, and the more mysterious [Transcendent].

Lord Yao can command the [Monarch Surrounded by Stars] at will, which proves that he is very likely to be a [Transcendent].

For the sake of caution.

Joseph only said that he got the assistance of powerful gods from abroad, but kept silent about who it was.

Even the Unaware and the Mousebearded, only thought that this was a propaganda method of his. No one would have thought that this was a fact that was deliberately publicized with great fanfare.

What needs to be done now is to continue to make a voice and expand fame and influence.

Joseph has been wandering in the Time Stop Zone for a long time. He has been attacked by many dukes and feathered people, and has been killed several times. He has also recruited and accepted many curse tribes and curse insects, and then watched them being plundered by more powerful feathered people.

Master Fahai once said.

"If you want to sail far enough, it is not the bigger the flying boat, the better. I think that the flying boat should be like a leaf in the wind. It is difficult for a strong wind to tear the leaf apart, and it will only blow it farther. It should be like water, able to enter mountains and valleys, rise with the wind, fall with the clouds, enter a cup, gather rivers into the sea..."

Be like water.

In the Time Stop Zone, follow the black matter drifting and adapt to the shape here.

...

I don't know how long it took, and it suddenly became quiet outside.

Joseph slowly regained his form. He could feel that he had forgotten something, which was the conversation with a group of curse insects. In fact, most of the curse insects would only say yes, more like he was giving orders unilaterally.

"That is..." Ratbeard looked ahead.

There was a long passage ahead, with a vast expanse at the end.

It was a large cave.

The three of them suddenly changed their expressions and turned around and ran.

Behind them, the suffocating pressure had instantly descended.
