Chapter 750: Chapter 592: So Communication is Needed
Upon leaving Female Demon Number Six’s place, Stone Fist was still waiting outside. As soon as he saw Long Yi, he came over impassively.
"How did it go, brother? What did Medicine Master say?"
Stone Fist asked anxiously.
What did he say?
Long Yi really wanted to tell him, ’Medicine Master said he’ll only help recover my memory if I can offer the Sacred Rock from your tribe.’ But for this friend he barely got to know, Long Yi didn’t have the confidence to say it outright. After all, the Mountain Giants seemed to take the kidnapping issue rather lightly, and risking a direct dismissal due to a reckless request wasn’t something he wanted to chance.
Moreover, Long Yi thought that he should stay put here and earnestly learn about the culture of these Mountain Giants. As for the six Sacred Rocks, he knew he couldn’t keep pretending to be an amnesiac if he wanted to fit into this world for some time.
"Medicine Master said..." Long Yi cleared his throat, sorted out his thoughts, "Medicine Master said that my memory will gradually come back over time. As long as I keep fighting... as long as my feet are planted on this earth, my lost memory will recover slowly."
Long Yi emphasized the key points of his own words.
"Hahaha! That’s great! I tell you, our tribe’s Medicine Master is very powerful! If he says you’ll be okay, then you’ll definitely get better! Come on, brother, stay in our tribe for now, I will find you a place, and we will build a house."
Stone Fist pulled Long Yi along and found a spot at the edge of the tribe.
"Alright, let’s stay here!" Stone Fist said, looking at Long Yi, "Brother, do you remember how to build a house?"
Long Yi shook his head right away. He knew how to build a house, but obviously, what Stone Fist meant by building a house and what he knew were clearly two different things.
"No problem, watch me! Hahaha! I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time! My old man just won’t let me! Today, I get to show off my skills!"
Stone Fist walked over excitedly, stomping the ground heavily. Long Yi immediately felt the energy surging underground. Rocks sprouted from the earth, enclosing to form walls; converging to make a roof; the rocks in the middle seemed to melt to become doors and windows; finally, a row of stone pillars appeared to form a courtyard.
"What do you think!"
Stone Fist ran over with twinkling eyes, waiting for his praise.
"Beautiful!"
Long Yi praised genuinely.
Truth be told, compared to the stone houses around, this house didn’t seem to quite match up. However, it possessed an exotic charm.
Entering the room, everything was made of stone: the floor, the table, the chairs, and even the stove.
"Alright, brother, you rest here first, what would you like for dinner?" Stone Fist, cheered by Long Yi’s praise, asked happily.
"Whatever... I don’t remember what I like to eat." Long Yi replied.
"Alright, I’ll bring you something! You rest first!"
Stone Fist hurried away. Taking a look at the bumpy stone bed, Long Yi laughed a little and placed his hands on it.
A slight energy seeped from his palm into his body. Long Yi was taken aback. Apparently, it was not necessary for this strength to pass through his feet only; it seemed his hands worked too.
Long Yi had cordially observed how Stone Fist built the stone house and had discerned a part of the process. Now he wanted to communicate with the rocks.
To Long Yi, it looked like a kind of rock magic, which the Mountain Giants considered as a natural ability. Though he had to learn from scratch, fortunately, it wasn’t hard for Long Yi.
The stone bed gradually softened and evened out under Long Yi’s hands. His power spread to all corners of the room, walls became neat, and the floor turned smooth. The table wasn’t so wobbly anymore.
After doing all this, Long Yi took out his reserved bedding from his private space and scattered them roughly on the bed.
I’ve had some intense days; I need to get some sleep to recover.
Long Yi slept straight through till midnight. When he opened his eyes, he saw a heap of food on the table. There were fruits, roast meat, and soup. They were cold but aroused Long Yi’s appetite. He conjured a flame to reheat the food with magic and hastily stuffed them into his stomach.
This is real food!
After the meal, Long Yi wasn’t sleepy anymore. Lying in bed, he began to seriously consider what he needed to do.
Clearly, rescuing Little Zi was a top priority. To save Little Zi, he had to acquire the power of the six Sacred Rocks. After saving Little Zi, Long Yi needed to figure out how to leave this world quickly. Stone Fist said that those slave traders came from other planets. They had the ability to navigate the universe or simply use the Teleportation Gate. But these trans-regional teleportations are only between planets and cannot enter other universes.
Advanced planets may have Teleportation Gates to other universes. However, building a Teleportation Gate to other universes requires a lot of resources, which normal races could not achieve.
In the end, he has to become stronger.
Long Yi shook his head and muttered to himself.
The Giant’s tablet had very little information on Mountain Giants. Without suitable cheats, it looks like he had to count on himself this time.
Long Yi sensed his internal power. The Giant Power was still abundant. Since there were no rules to confine him, Long Yi’s power was constantly increasing. The second was Divine Power. Time travel did not cause any changes to Divine Power; it was still latent. As for the third power, it was the one he just obtained.
Long Yi called it the Power of Rock. It is a force contained within the rocks. After the Mountain Giants absorb this power, they can demonstrate a variety of magical abilities in the battles to follow. For example, they can possess incredible strength, or recover rapidly. This power works perfectly fine on Long Yi as well.
It should be around two in the morning now. Unable to sleep, Long Yi ventured alone to the peak of a mountain just outside the tribe. On this planet, rocks are exposed everywhere, making Long Yi even suspect that beneath the thin layer of soil, the entire planet may be a huge stone ball.
Standing at the mountaintop, a gentle breeze brushed past him.
Long Yi calmed his mind. He was one to go with the flow. He clearly understood that if he wasted a second now, Little Zi would have to stay trapped in that strange Soul Stone for another second.
Come on, just like before.
Make me stronger! Long Yi lay naked on an exposed rock, in as much close contact with it as possible. Sure enough, the Power of Rock began to enter his body. Almost in the blink of an eye, Long Yi felt his body completely filled with the Power of Rock. However, Long Yi was not here just to experience this power.
Long Yi began to infuse the Giant’s Power from his hands into the rock, carefully observing what would happen to the Power of Rock after it was infused.
The Giant’s Power and the Power of Rock quickly merged together. Long Yi was surprised to find that the power within the rock had fully transformed into the Giant’s Power and returned to his body!
How magical is that?
Long Yi tried infusing his Fighting Aura, the Fighting Aura instantly multiplied and returned to his body; infusing his Mana, the Power of Rock then transformed into Mana and returned to his body.
That’s strange!
Hmm?
Wait!
Long Yi smirked and directly infused a small amount of Divine Power into the rock.
If you can convert more of my Divine Power for me, then I’ve hit the jackpot!
When the Divine Power entered the rock, the Power of Rock within immediately whirled around enclosing the Divine Power. But after the Power of Rock touched the Divine Power a few times, it simply dispersed. The Divine Power remained solitary, and the Power of Rock remained as it was, with nothing happening.
Long Yi curled his lip, helplessly retrieving his Divine Power. As it turned out, trying to cheat was not as simple as he thought.
To obtain the Sacred Rock, he would surely need to fight and rank among the top three among all the ’children’. If he didn’t use his Fighting Aura, and only relied on the Power of Rock, the current Long Yi virtually had no advantage. But in Long Yi’s opinion, using his Fighting Aura and Mana didn’t necessarily give him any advantages.
To gain an advantage in the upcoming battle, he would inevitably need to gain the same power as the Mountain Giants.
He still had a month’s time.
Counting...
Quite sufficient.
Little Zi had figured out how to obtain energy in the past, but after all, she was a pure energy body. Her understanding of the Power of Rock was only on an energy level, she wasn’t capable of creating her own stone armour. So, although Sister No.6 had told Long Yi all of Little Zi’s knowledge, Long Yi still had to figure out most of it by himself.
Long Yi lay on the mountaintop until dawn. He had been communicating with the rocks beneath him all this time. This communication was purely on an energy level. Long Yi wasn’t sure if this was useful, but it was better than doing nothing.
When he got up from the rock, he felt extremely comfortable all over his body, even more so than sleep.
That’s not right. Yesterday, I slept on a stone bed as well, so why didn’t I have this feeling?
What’s the difference?
Could it be the bedding on the bed?
No way! Is the difference that big?
At dawn, Long Yi went to find Stone Fist, who was also looking for him.
"You son of a gun! You were gone early in the morning, I thought you’d gone back to your own tribe, and I was considering whether or not to rearrange this house for my own use!"
Stone Fist said, laughing heartily.
Long Yi broke into a cold sweat. How quick-tempered was this jerk, I was only gone for a few minutes, and the house was no longer mine? Long Yi smirked and pointed to the distant mountain peak, "I went there to clear my head, and take the opportunity to communicate with the earth."
Stone Fist’s eyes widened immediately: "Brother! Did you manage to communicate anything? My dad always urged me to communicate with the earth, but I just have no idea how to. Now the festival of the Sacred Rock is approaching, my dad said that if I couldn’t successfully communicate with the earth, I may not be able to get the Sacred Rock!"
Long Yi shrugged helplessly: "I haven’t recovered my memory yet, let alone communicate."
"That makes sense." Stone Fist said, resigned.
"However, has your father ever mentioned what would happen after successful communication?" asked Long Yi.
"The earth will bestow upon us stone armour!" Stone Fist said matter-of-factly, then he looked at Long Yi worriedly, "Sigh, brother, you don’t even know such common knowledge. It seems your memory has really not recovered yet!"
Ah, so it’s about communication! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly tickets on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
