Chapter 317

Civilization is born from knowledge.

And similarly, knowledge can also destroy civilization.

Disaster descended unknowingly.

The Scarlet King brought knowledge that did not belong to this world into this world, and Forbidden Knowledge spread like a plague.

The mind is filled with crazy whispers, and gray-black scales cover the back.

Even the land seems to have been deprived of life, leaving only desperate silence.

In the endless sea of sand, a team of scholars wearing the long robes of Qiming Academy is moving along the silent desert.

Their bodies seem to glow with green fluorescence, which is so bright in this silent and desperate sea of sand.

This is not power from the King of a Thousand Trees, but from the knowledgeable Grand Sage of Qiming Academy.

"My god, what on earth happened here! The corpses of these tribal people look... they seem to have suffered inhuman torture before they died; this person died by scratching his own head open..."

scratched to death,

A scholar swallows his saliva; under this scorching sun, he feels even more thirsty and his scalp tingles.

"Is this the preparation the Grand Sage asked us to do? Fortunately, the Grand Sage is visionary!" Another scholar feels extremely fortunate after seeing a shocking scene.

"Let's continue forward."

The team of scholars continues to move forward!

They see withered grass and trees in the oasis.

Those grass and trees seem to have been instantly deprived of life; the oasis that was once full of green in the desert has become withered.

"Record it, before they spread to the rainforest, we must find a way to deal with them!" The scholar starts to record and research with a serious expression.

"Be careful, it's best not to go deep into researching those things; this is the Grand Sage's instruction!"

"Rest assured, of course I understand; I don't want to die as miserably as these people."

The scholars who came following the Grand Sage's orders are cautious.

They are a team of scholars who joined voluntarily and were dispatched to take samples and investigate.

Each of them has received the Grand Sage's blessing and can walk safely in this desert filled with despair.

The deeper they go, the more they can feel the loneliness in the sea of sand.

They slowly encounter the desert people.

These desert people are scratching their own heads for no reason, constantly digging at their own backs, and without exception, they all have painful expressions on their faces.

"It's been investigated clearly; there seems to be something crazy whispering in their minds. According to their own statements... this kind of whispering simply cannot be heard clearly. No matter if they try to feel it seriously or deliberately ignore it, there is no effect. The less they can hear it clearly, the more it makes them feel brain pain and a feeling that their own spirit is gradually twisting... This sounds really too unbelievable, it, it's just like the evil god the Grand Sage once mentioned."

even if they deliberately try to ignore it, it has no effect. The less they can hear clearly, the more they feel brain pain and a sense that their spirit is gradually twisting... This sounds really

too unbelievable; it's, it's just like the evil god the Great Sage once spoke of.

"Leader! Those people with scales on their bodies have also been investigated clearly; this disease is very strange!"

"Where is it strange?"

"It seems to be caused by the disorder of elemental power, but looking closely, the source is still those strange things. Maybe it's my lack of learning; why don't you come and take a look?"

"Good!"

"It's about the same as what you said, but this disease makes people fall into weakness and pain... They should be saveable!"

"Really?!"

"Not very clear, I'm afraid we need to ask the sage of the medical department to take a look. If the sage can't do it, then the Grand Sage might have a way!"

"Do the people who continue to go deep have any other discoveries?"

"Not for the time being!"

"Good, let's go back!"

The team of scholars starts to return to the rainforest.

They pass through a place called 'Aaru'.

Many desert people have gathered here in Aaru.

Most of them have not been polluted by Forbidden Knowledge, because they originally lived here, or are people who travel between the rainforest for trade.

The scholars have brought back bad news.

Gu Chen sighs after reading the scholars' investigation: "It seems I still underestimated these taboos."

Whispering, Gu Chen looks up at the scholar leader and asks: "Is the rainforest threatened?"

"Grand Sage, from our investigation, these things spread like a plague... it's hard to block!"

The scholar leader's meaning is understood by Gu Chen; he nods and waves his hand to signal him to go out.

After he leaves, Gu Chen's expression gradually becomes heavy.

Unknown when, Buer pushes the door and walks in. Seeing Gu Chen thinking heavily, she asks softly: "The situation is not very optimistic?"

"Hmm."

Gu Chen nods heavily.

The Lord of Wisdom, who had anticipated everything, also felt a headache about this.

Gu Chen says quietly: "Will that proud monarch regret it because of this?"

"Can only watch as everything he brought back destroys his kingdom, destroys his people, and pollutes the land, affecting the entire world... perhaps."

Buer's tone is inexplicable.

Her face seems to carry a little bit of reluctance.

"Decided to take action?" Gu Chen looks up at the Lord of Wisdom standing at the desk.

"People are innocent." The Lord of Wisdom answers like this.

"But wisdom will be hurt because of this. We could clearly block it; it would be fine to just stand by and watch."

"Knowing there are tigers in the mountain, yet going toward the tiger mountain."

"Isn't this exactly the reason why you firmly chose me?"

Buer carries a shallow smile, and the bright smile makes Gu Chen laugh softly: "Yes, the loving Lord of Wisdom will inevitably choose to take action to save the collapsing building. Let's go together, I..." ===== CHAPTER 319 =====
