Ding Meng actually wanted to accept Leng Yin's invitation. Not to mention other things, it was not safe for him to return to the Federation after destroying so many masters of the Starbow Conglomerate. At least, he would not be able to go back for a while.
This trip to the Fertile Chalk System made him realize that there were definitely people stronger than Ling Xingqi in the Holy Grail Federation. He would not lose to anyone in a one-on-one fight, but he would not necessarily win against those big conglomerates and families if they wanted to play dirty.
Ding Meng pondered and said, I do want to go to the Poison Cloud Demonsea, but if I go to Thousand Sails Star, I have some personal matters to attend to.
"Is that so?"
Leng Yin was a little disappointed. "Then I will ask Senior Seven Kills to send you to the surface. If you have time in the future, you can come visit my Seven Mountain Family. You are always welcome!"
When Eisendale heard that Ding Meng wanted to go to Thousand Sails Star, she immediately became happy. As long as he entered the Zeta Star System, he would be a big step closer to returning to the Holy Grail Federation.
The Zeta Star System was huge. It was not a pure star system, but was made up of a large amount of interstellar dust and meteorite belts. There were only a few planets in it. It was because of this celestial environment that it became a very important strategic junction between the Holy Grail Federation and the Devouring World. No matter who wanted to start a fight, it would take a lot of effort for an army to cross the Zeta Star System.
In the Zeta Star System, Thousand Sails Star was a very important junction planet. This huge terrestrial planet was located in the center of the junction between the north and the south. In fact, Thousand Sails Star was originally inhabited by a large number of natives and outer space refugees. Although it was not prosperous, it reduced the burden of the Holy Grail Federation. However, the war of the Devouring World a hundred years ago almost destroyed all life on the planet.
As a result, Thousand Sails Planet became a barren land. The planet's environment was divided into two categories. First, it was filled with sand and dust everywhere. This was an environment that was barely suitable for human habitation. Second, it was a poisonous half-desert, half-quagmire. This was the aftermath of the war that had taken place a hundred years ago. The strange poison that had devoured the world was difficult to completely eradicate, so it had spread throughout the land, giving birth to all kinds of poisonous monsters.
The Void Spirit Ray didn't completely land on the ground. After entering the atmosphere, it dropped Ding Meng and Eisendale down according to the coordinates Ding Meng had specified.
This was a desert filled with rocks. Occasionally, water would flow between the rocks. The sky was foggy and filled with sand. In fact, this kind of terrain was easy to imagine. This must be the intersection of the human desert and the poisonous pool of the Devouring Realm.
Turning on her wristwatch, Eisendell was dismayed to find that she could not connect to the international space network.
Ding Meng seemed to know what she was thinking. "It's useless. The wristwatch's signal is too weak. Only starships and base stations can connect to the international space network."
Eisendell slumped on a rock. "If you know there's no signal, why did you come here?"
Ding Meng said, "I came here for something!"
"Something?"
Eisendell sneered disdainfully. "I don't even see a blade of grass here, let alone a person. What can you possibly want?"
Ding Meng said, "Who told you there's no one here?"
Eisendell was stunned. "Can anyone survive in a place like this?"
Ding Meng said meaningfully, "Maybe for a lady like you, this place isn't even a garbage dump. But for some people, as long as they can survive, they can endure any harsh environment."
As he spoke, he walked into the sandstorm. Eisendell was anxious. "Wait, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find someone, of course!" Ding Meng did not even look back.
Eisendale quickly jumped off the rock and followed him. "Hey, are you going to leave me alone?" she asked.
Ding Meng turned around and asked, "What do you want now?"
Eisendell curled her lips. "I can't walk!
Carry me!
My body is sore!
It's all your fault. This is nothing to you, right? "
You're an advanced battle-saint and can't walk?
Who are you trying to fool?
Ding Meng thought about it and decided to bear with it. "Okay!
I'll carry you! "
The scene was a bit awkward. Eisendell was bigger than Ding Meng in both size and physique. Ding Meng looked like he was carrying a big man on his back.
Eisendell was secretly pleased. Humph, I can't touch you, but it's not bad to make you a coolie.
The two of them passed through the obstacles formed by the wind and sand. After walking for about an hour, they finally arrived in front of a small mountain range formed by stone mountains. This mountain range was not high, but at the foot of the mountain, there were small houses built with stones. This was a human village.
Seeing this dilapidated village, Ding Meng let out a long sigh and put Eisendell down.
Eisendell was obviously very smart. "You've been here before?"
"Yes!" Ding Meng looked very calm, but there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
When the princess had transported him from the Da Sheng Kingdom to the Holy Brilliance Galaxy, the first teleportation point had been this village. At that time, he could not resist the power of the Holy Spirit and fainted by the river.
It was the same small river, and there was still someone by the river. It was a young man with a strong back and a strong waist. The young man was only wearing a pair of underpants. His skin was a healthy bronze color, and his muscles were abnormally well-developed. He was holding a fishing spear made of bone spikes and poking fish.
The young man was obviously not an Origin Ability user, and he did not notice Ding Meng and Eisendell nearby.
Ding Meng slowly walked to the river and called softly, "Gu Zi!"
The young man was startled. He turned around and was stunned. "You … Ding … Ding Meng?"
Ding Meng finally smiled. "Thank God, you still remember me!"
Gu Zi threw away the fishing spear and ran over. He jumped and jumped in front of Ding Meng happily. It was obvious that he was very happy. "Brother Ding Meng, I didn't expect you to come back after so many years."
Ding Meng smiled. "Gu Zi, you were still a child when I left. I didn't expect you to grow up so much. You're even taller than me now."
As he spoke, he gestured with his hand above his head. However, Gu Zi's eyes suddenly turned red. "Brother Ding Meng, this is great. You're still alive. We all thought you were dead."
Ding Meng smiled. "Good people don't live long, but disasters can last for a thousand years. I'm a disaster!"
Gu Zi was still jumping happily. "This is great, this is great!"
He was not good with words, but his body movements could not be faked. Even Eisendell could see that the young man was happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw Ding Meng.
Moreover, she also noticed that although Ding Meng had a smile before, it was mostly a cold and fake smile when facing enemies. However, facing this young man, Ding Meng's smile was very warm, and also came from the bottom of his heart. He didn't look like a warlord at all, but more like a friendly boy next door.
This place must be very important to him!
Eisendell made this judgment.
At this time, Gu Zi turned his head and shouted in the direction of the village, "Yizi, come out quickly. Brother Ding Meng is back. Come quickly. Brother Ding Meng is here …"
A girl quickly rushed out of a bungalow at the edge of the village. This girl named Yizi was the same as Gu Zi. Her skin was bronze, her muscles were strong, and her hair was tied into a braid. However, to Eisendell's surprise, Yizi was completely naked. She rushed straight over. It seemed that Ding Meng was not surprised. He was still smiling, as if everything was normal.
Yizi also jumped and laughed around Ding Meng. "It's really Brother Ding Meng. You haven't changed at all. Brother Ding Meng, you've been gone for more than ten years. We often think of you …"
Ding Meng smiled and said, "Yizi, you've grown up. It's not easy to survive."
Yizi's eyes suddenly turned red. It was obvious that the price to survive in this place was unimaginable.
Eisendell asked carefully, "Ding Meng, why aren't they wearing clothes?"
Ding Meng glanced at her and sighed, "Because there are no clothes to wear here."
Eisendale was stunned. He didn't even have any clothes?
Was this place so backward?
However, she quickly felt relieved. As she said, there was not even a blade of grass here. Even if they wanted to wear tree bark, they couldn't.
Gu Zi then noticed Eisendell's existence. He suddenly looked alert and asked, "Brother Ding Meng, who is this person?"
Eisendell did not know whether to laugh or cry. Don't you know what I mean?
Can't you tell that I'm on the same side as Ding Meng?
"Well …" Ding Meng was also in a dilemma. If he explained that they were friends, Gu Zi and his sister would definitely not understand. This place was too primitive. Gu Zi and his brother did not know what friends were. In their concept, there was only the difference between "family" and "outsiders."
Ding Meng simply explained, "Well, her name is Eisendell. She's my woman. You can call her Sister Eisendell."
Eisendell was speechless. Are you done taking advantage of us?
Gu Zi's eyes lit up. "So she's one of us!
Hello, Sister Eisendell! "
Iko, on the other hand, was curiously looking at Eisendale's galactic clothes. The envy in her eyes could not be concealed.
In fact, Iko's facial features were very well-defined. Perhaps it was because she had been working and hunting all year round that she had a strong physique and overly developed muscles. Iko's eyes were very clear and her gaze was very pure. Isendale could not help but feel compassion for her. When she was Iko's age, she had a villa to store her various fashions and accessories. She had even hired two high-level tailors to manage and maintain the villa.
Yizi was also a young girl, but she didn't even have a set of clothes to cover her body. Eisendale had never thought that the Saint Brilliance Federation, which was already in the Interstellar Era, would have such a huge gap between people.
Eisendell took out a set of dark blue training clothes from her "Hundred Treasures Satchel" and said, "Iko, I'll give you this set of clothes. Go and change into it!"
Iko did not dare to take it. She just turned her head to look at Ding Meng, meaning to ask Ding Meng.
Ding Meng smiled and nodded. "Take it. She means well."
Iko quickly took it and bowed. "Thank you, Sister Eisendell. Thank you!
Thank you! "
It was said that clothes made the man. As soon as Iko put on the new training clothes, she immediately became spirited. She patted them left and right and could not bear to put them down.
Eisendell also smiled. "It looks good!
Much more spirited than when I was young! "
Iko bowed again. "Thank you, Sister!"
Gu Zi waved his hand. "We're family. Let's go in and sit!"
