After Turning Into A Little Skeleton, I Got Contracted By A Goddess

239 The Sage

The Sage

The remaining one-fifth of red-haired ape monsters were those with more outstanding intelligence. Generally speaking, they were called elders responsible for the various decisions of the clan.

Among them, the oldest and wisest would be crowned as the sage and naturally become the clan leader.

The sage of red-haired ape monsters would inherit the knowledge and experience of the previous one, so this was why Yan Wuyue decided not to fight after hearing their name.

The red-haired ape monster was silent for a moment before saying, “Go ahead. I will try my best to help if I know the answer.”

Yan Wuyue nodded to express her gratitude and told it about Zhou Mingrui’s situation.

After hearing this, the red-haired ape monsters frowned and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry. Forgive me for not being able to answer your question right now. I need to talk to our clan leader.

“No problem. I appreciate that.” Yan Wuyue nodded.

After about half an hour, the red-haired ape monster returned.

“Human, our clan leader wants to see you. Please follow me.”

As other red-haired ape monsters stared at them, Yan Wuyue followed the elder into the depths.

Soon, they arrived in front of a wooden house, where a thin ape monster with yellowish-red hair was sitting on the steps in front.

“This is our clan leader,” The elder said as it stood ten meters in front of the steps.

“Sage, it’s my honor to meet you,” For the first time, Yan Wuyue spoke in a respectful tone.

“Human, how do you know of my existence? I don’t remember interacting with any of you,” the sage asked slowly.

“This is not the point, right?” Yan Wuyue said calmly.

“Tell me, what can I get after answering your question?” the sage asked again.

“I can help you avoid a disaster at a critical moment.” Yan Wuyue said.

“A disaster at a critical moment? What do you know?” the sage frowned and asked.

“I can’t tell you too much now, or it’ll be very complicated.” Yan Wuyue shook her head.

The elders standing below all frowned and looked at each other, but they could only remain silent.

The sage thought for a moment and nodded slowly. “Alright, it’s a deal.”

“To show my sincerity, I can provide some information first, but I need to talk to you alone.” Yan Wuyue turned to look at the elders around them.

The surrounding elders were somewhat annoyed when they heard her words, and the guards also expressed their upset. However, the sage raised its hand to calm them down.

“She won’t do anything to hurt me. Come with me.” The sage smiled and led Yan Wuyue into the house.

In the room, there was only a bed and a table with a few chairs. The sage made her sit down and asked, “Tell me.”

“Soon, this world will be invaded by creatures from other dimensions, and this place will be one of the first dimensional gates. You will suffer a fierce attack,” Yan Wuyue slowly explained.

“Do you know when exactly?” The sage asked without any expression.

“I am not sure, but it should be within these five years.” Yan Wuyue said.

“Within five years? I got it. Thank you for the information,” the sage said after a moment of silence. “Let’s talk about your problem then.”

The sage stood up and walked a few steps before saying, “Your summoned spirit is limited by the rules of this world and another world. Generally speaking, it’s very rare, but here we are. ”

“The world’s rules can not be stopped or removed by other forces, and his strength can help him to break the chain.”

“As for the method, it’s either him sensing the existence of the rules and breaking it or using some kind of extreme energy in his body. Otherwise, there’s no way out for him.”

Yan Wuyue frowned, for the instruction was rather vague and just a direction.

“I know the information might not be very helpful, but this is reality. I’m sorry I can’t help much,” the sage shook its head and said with a helpless tone.

“Let me tell you. Your summoned spirit is an undead type, so it will be the most helpful for him to meet an enemy of his same kind.

Hearing this, Yan Wuyue nodded. These words couldn’t help much either, for she knew where to find other undead-summoned spirits in this universe.

Even after the great calamity and the world changed, anyone below level 8 would definitely die after entering that place.

Rubbing her forehead, Yan Wuyue still expressed his gratitude. “Okay, thank you.”

After walking out of the wooden house, Yan Wuyue was somewhat worried. It was impossible to fight the red-haired ape monsters clan, so she could only leave.

“You’re done?”

Zhou Mingrui was surprised to see Yan Wuyue.

“We can’t fight this clan. Let’s find the next one.” Yan Wuyue didn’t explain.

Qi Ming said lazily, “We might have to take a detour to the next place. It will take a long time. Are you sure? ”

“It’s good. Let’s go,” Yan Wuyue said indifferently.

[ What happened? ] Zhou Mingrui couldn’t help but ask curiously.

[ They are a neutral clan and have no obvious malice towards humans. In the future, they might even join our alliance, ] Yan Wuyue explained.

[ An alliance? An alliance of monsters and humans? ] Zhou Mingrui understood the meaning behind her words.

[ That’s right. The creatures of other dimensions don’t recognize humans or monsters. If it’s not their kind, they will kill and devour it completely. Therefore, the highly intelligent races among humans and monsters will be allied, ] Yan Wuyue responded.

[ I understand now. I didn’t expect something like this, but It seems that we are still not close enough to our goal, ] Zhou Mingrui said with a sigh.

[ There are still many waiting for us in the future. Let’s not think about these things for now. The most important thing now is to help you solve the seal, ] Yan Wuyue changed the topic.

[ You seem to be off, ] Zhou Mingrui asked, puzzled.

[ I’m just worried about you, ] Yan Wuyue said helplessly, rubbing her temples.

[ I know the seal is complicated, but don’t worry. Everything will be fine soon. ] Zhou Mingrui said with a confident look.

Roar!

At this moment, a roar reverberated through the forest, and an extremely powerful pressure suddenly pushed everyone.

“A level 8 monster!” After Qi Ming and Yan Wuyue exclaimed at the same time, Zhou Mingrui’s expression changed drastically.

“That’s impossible. There’s no treasure or smell of blood in this area. There shouldn’t be any level 8 monster!” All the hair on Qi Ming’s body stood up because of the overwhelming pressure.
