Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 263
Chapter 263: Arriving in the Western Continent
Ma Tengyun asked that person, “Friend, have we met before?”
Ma Tengyun felt that this person was a little familiar, but he did not recognize his face. He did not know who this person was.
However, Wei Huo could tell that this person was like Ma Tengyun. He was one of the three people in the Northern Continent at the Legendary stage.
The stranger smiled and told everyone while holding a plate full of food, “My name is Li Hanfeng. I’m a traveler. I heard that you guys were going to the Western Continent, so I sneaked in. Although I’m not strong, I’ve been traveling for a long time and have seen everything. Perhaps I can be of some help on this trip.”
The Legendary Mystic Turtle, who was a little curious, asked, “Which places have you been to?”
Li Hanfeng said, “I’ve walked on the edge of life and death. I’ve seen all kinds of storms. I’ve seen the rise and fall of tides. I’ve been through hell and high water. I’ve counted the stars in the desert and listened to the breeze in the jungle. I’ve traveled the four seas freely. I’ve walked all over the place. I’ve climbed high and looked into the distance. I’ve also stopped to take a closer look. I have never stopped moving. I’ve crossed mountains and rivers. I have seen thousands of rivers and experienced all kinds of lives…”
As Li Hanfeng spoke, everyone suddenly saw a scroll slowly opening. This was a long journey through almost every corner of the Northern Continent.
Upon hearing that, Wei Huo understood that this person had definitely reached the Epic stage. It was even possible that he might just be one step away from the Legendary stage. Or maybe, he had already reached the Legendary stage.
This temperament and enlightenment were not something an Epic creature made by the system could compare with. Another expert had appeared in the human race.
Li Hanfeng’s appearance made the Legendary demons sigh. They thought that humans were really unusual. They indeed had Connate Dao Bodies. They had been born to cultivate.
They had never thought of traveling anywhere. However, they knew that if they wanted to enter the Epic stage, they would have to increase their knowledge and strengthen their souls.
Everyone started listening to Li Hanfeng’s story. In the end, Li Hanfeng told everyone that he had been to the Western Continent.
This immediately shocked everyone. To their knowledge, only Ma Tengyun had been to the Western Continent on this ship. Besides, he had not been there for long, nor had he really arrived in the continent. He had only interacted with the people of the Western Continent at sea and learned a little about the situation in the Western Continent.
He had communicated with the people of the Western Continent mostly by using communication equipment. After the artificial satellites had been launched, communication had become easier.
Ma Tengyun had made prior arrangements for his trip to the Western Continent. As long as he landed, he would meet people from the Western Continent. However, he did not know much about the situation in the Western Continent.
That was why when Li Hanfeng said that he had been to the Western Continent, they were all shocked.
Li Hanfeng started explaining again. “I only arrived at a few small islands in the Western Continent. There are many small islands in the Western Continent, but I only toured a few small islands before returning.”
Many of the crew members on the ship had been born after the time halt and were very curious about the Western Continent. A few of the staff members who served food ran out of the window and listened to Li Hanfeng talk about the Western Continent.
Li Hanfeng said, “The people of the Western Continent look different from us. They are taller, with fairer skin, golden hair, and blue eyes. They speak a lot of languages, including English, French, and German. Due to the many islands in the area, that continent is actually divided into a few different forces.”
Ma Tengyun interrupted. “The people welcoming us should be from France. They live at the west end of the Western Continent. I don’t know much about the people from the other forces.”
The two of them were not saying the truth. They both pretended that they were not aware of the situation in the Western Continent fully. However, in reality, as long as one had been alive since the time halt, one should know something about the Western Continent. The people of that continent came mostly from various countries in Europe. Naturally, they were mainly from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Portugal, and Spain.
Since that continent was called the Sword and Magic Continent, there were definitely knights and mages there. Of course, their language was definitely different from the language of the people of the Northern Continent.
A particularly young crew member asked curiously, “Do they also eat rice and vegetables?”
Li Hanfeng smiled and said, “They don’t eat rice or vegetables. They eat bread and milk. They grow wheat.”
The Legendary Unicorn asked in confusion, “Are the people of the Western Continent on good terms with the cow race?”
Those who knew the truth were left speechless.
Li Hanfeng coughed and said, “They have a good relationship with cows, sheep, and dogs. However, I’m not sure. Let’s wait until we reach the continent.”
The Navigator kept moving toward the Western Continent. The atmosphere on the ship became livelier because of Li Hanfeng. Many people liked to chat with him, including the demons.
After living on the ship for a long time, the three Legendary demons began to lose their attitude. They had realized that human life was very interesting. Compared to survival and reproduction, human life was more colorful. Sometimes, they could sing or dance. Human food was very delicious and unique. Many demons had forgotten about the canteen.
Occasionally, the Navigator would stop for a while. At that moment, people would go into the sea to swim. Some people would also start fishing. The demons were gradually integrated into human life.
From time to time, the Mystic Turtle would drink with the humans. A cheetah would compete with a sailor in swimming. The atmosphere on the ship was not bad. Humans and demons were getting along well.
Wei Huo would chat with Li Hanfeng sometimes. After a few conversations, Wei Huo realized that Li Hanfeng should have reached the Legendary stage. He was a real Legendary-level being, not one manufactured by the system. Although he was only at the early stage, he was still impressive.
It seemed like Legendary creatures were not that simple…
Wei Huo would go to the Research Department from time to time because he was very interested in the science and technology of the Research Department. He was now living like an ordinary person. However, people had put him on too many pedestals. Most of the time, people did not think that someone was impressive because that person was really impressive, but because they imposed that idea on him.
Wei Huo, who didn’t show his prowess, lived like an ordinary person. However, he would sometimes look at the sea alone for an entire day.
At times, Wei Huo would encounter Li Hanfeng on the deck. The two of them emitted an ancient aura, as if they had lived for a long time and witnessed many things.
During these peaceful days, the Navigator traveled for five months. After five months, they finally saw a small island far away.
This island was called Western Capital, as seeing this island meant that they had arrived at the Western Continent!
