Thus, Mo Chu’s blank expression was in stark contrast to Xie Chunxi’s excitement.
The two of them looked at each other.
This atmosphere… was exceptionally complicated!
“You… Don’t know?” Xie Chunxi squeezed out a dry voice, his tone filled with disbelief.
One had to know that the Dark Ocean Galaxy’s Hunting Festival had already lasted for almost 500 years. It had a long history, and almost everyone in this galaxy knew about it. Could Mo Chu be an exception?
Mo Chu shook her head honestly. “Yes, I don’t know.”
Her calm expression almost made Xie Chunxi vomit blood!
“Alright, it’s not a big deal.” Ning Yiyuan reached out and gently stroked Mo Chu’s hair. “Little Chu doesn’t know, but I’m here for her, right?”
Ning Yiyuan had long noticed that this girl was a common sense idiot. Not to mention the Dark Ocean Galaxy’s traditional festival, she might even be blind to the Federation’s traditions!
… After all, she had been lying in the nutrition cabin for more than ten years. How could she know all these things in such a short time?
Thinking of Mo Chu lying in the nutrition cabin, Ning Yiyuan’s eyes could not help but flash with a hint of love. He clenched his large palm that was holding onto Mo Chu, and his gaze was filled with tenderness as he looked at her.
Damn!
They were showing off their love again!
Xie Chunxi clicked his tongue. He really wanted to cover his eyes so that he would not see the two of them giving out dog food. “It’s about time. Time waits for no one. Let’s hurry up and leave!”
Looking at Xie Chunxi’s impatient look, Mo Chu could not help but feel a little expectant. “This Hunting Festival… is it fun?”
Hearing this, Xie Chunxi turned around excitedly. He was about to say something when Ning Yiyuan interrupted him. “How would he know? This festival is only held once every 20 years.”
Xie Chunxi was only 25 or 26 years old this year. 20 years ago… He was only 5 or 6 years old. At that time, he was only a child, so what could he know?
After being exposed all of a sudden, Xie Chunxi’s face turned red and green. In the end, he could only let out an angry snort and angrily walked out, leaving them behind.
Along the way, he maintained an aloof attitude and did not even give them a glance.
However, this guy’s temper did not last long. In the end, Mo Chu offered a few plates of fresh snacks as a bribe. This kid immediately let go of the anger on his face. He did not hesitate and happily accepted them.
After putting away the drive and approaching the Magical Region, Xie Chunxi began to introduce them. From the looks of it, he seemed to have the bearing of a host.
“This Hunting Festival is one of the biggest traditional festivals in our Dark Ocean Galaxy. It only opens once every 20 years.” Xie Chunxi did not forget to glare at Ning Yiyuan and continued to explain, “Our Hunting Festival is famous throughout the entire galaxy…”
“Wait, why does it only open once every 20 years?”The one who asked was, of course, Mo Chu.
“That’s because…” Xie Chunxi did not have time to explain when he heard a sneer from the side. “Tsk! All the country bumpkins from everywhere have come to participate in this Hunting Festival. Aren’t they afraid that they will lower our standards?”
… Country bumpkins?
Mo Chu was stunned. She and Mo Yang behind her could not help but look at each other.
The two siblings recalled at the same time that when they first went from District 12 to District 3, this form of address had accompanied them for quite a while. They did not expect to hear it today. The corners of their mouths curled up.
“What nonsense are you spouting!” Xie Chunxi was furious. He did not even care that the other party was a woman and started scolding her. “Let’s not talk about anything else. I don’t think you have class at all!”
“With your current state, you still have the cheek to talk about others. It’s already good enough that you can control yourself well. People should still have some self-awareness!”
Wow!
Mo Chu looked at Xie Chunxi in awe. She did not expect this kid to be so vicious when he scolded others!
“You!” The woman across from him probably did not expect that her casual complaint would receive such a large amount of criticism. She was so angry that her face was red and her eyes were full of tears.
However, the woman beside her saw the situation and softly comforted her.
Only then did she turn to look at Xie Chunxi. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. “Isn’t this the little prodigy of the Xie Family?”
The moment this woman opened her mouth, she was much more experienced than the girl from before. “These are your friends? Oh, no wonder you were so angry just now. I’m really sorry.”
Once these words were said, Xie Chunxi could not say anything more. After all, it was just a small matter. The other party had also swiftly apologized. If he insisted on not letting go, it would not make sense. He could only wave his hand. “Forget it, it’s not a big deal. Let’s go.”
Seeing this, a hint of a smile flashed across the woman’s eyes. She looked at her friend as if she was reprimanding her. “An Yao, you’re too much. You know very well that the child prodigy of the Xie Family doesn’t have any close friends. Aren’t you just going to barge in and ask for a scolding?”
Although the woman’s voice was not loud, Mo Chu and the others had not gone far, so they naturally heard her words.
Xie Chunxi’s figure could not help but pause.
He really did not have any close friends. He was young, and his personality was arrogant. In addition to his talent in the medical field, these three points had already separated him from the other youths of his age. All these years, he could not even find a person of his age that he could talk to…
“Aren’t you leaving, friend?” Mo Chu winked at him with a sincere smile on her face.
Xie Chunxi was stunned when he met Mo Chu’s pure eyes.
After a while, his eyes were filled with a smile as well. He said in a clear voice, “Of course, I’m leaving!” Who said that he didn’t have any good friends? Look at these people in front of him!
The group of people quickened their pace and left the people behind them.
When they approached the Magical Region, Mo Chu was stunned.
The Magical Region that used to be filled with sinister killings was now covered in thick fog!
The milky-white fog gathered and dispersed at times, floating quietly in the air. In the tranquility, there was a faint green tinge, which actually made this Magical Region look somewhat beautiful.
“This fog…” Mo Chu curiously took a few steps forward. Just sas he was about to reach out to touch it, she was pulled back by the cold-faced Ning Yiyuan. “Be careful!”
Not to mention Ning Yiyuan’s expression, even Xie Chunxi, Mo Yang, and the others could not help but be shocked. Their faces were a little pale!
“How is it?” Mo Yang quickly walked over and carefully picked up Mo Chu’s hand. “You didn’t touch it, right?”
As he said that, he carefully examined it for a long time and saw that Mo Chu’s hand was still white and clean, he let out a sigh of relief.
The people beside him even looked at Mo Chu as if they were looking at a lunatic. Their chattering voices rose and fell one after another.
“Is this girl sick?”
“I think it’s most likely! But there’s also something wrong with these people. If they have a sick family member, then hurry up and bring them to be treated. Why did you bring them here?”
“Yeah, didn’t you see how dangerous it was just now? We almost had an accident!”
…
“What’s wrong?” Mo Chu was still a little confused. Her delicate little face was slightly raised, and her eyes were filled with confusion.
Seeing her like this, how could Ning Yiyuan still be angry? He could not help but let out a sigh and tightly held her hand that was about to touch the mist. “You, when can you learn to be more obedient?”
“When did my sister become disobedient?” Upon hearing this, Mo Yang immediately jumped out and retorted unhappily.
This fellow was indeed worthy of being a sister-con. Look, his entire body was filled with the words ‘My sister is the best, my sister is the most amazing’!
“Yes, yes!” Ning Yiyuan could not afford to offend his brother-in-law. Ning Yiyuan immediately smiled apologetically, but did not forget to pinch Mo Chu. “Didn’t you just ask why the Hunting Festival only opens once every 20 years?”
“Because this thick fog only appears once every 20 years!”
When Ning Yiyuan said this, Mo Chu was even more dumbfounded. What the hell is this!? Didn’t they say that it was the Hunting Festival? Why did they talk about this thick fog again?
“Let me explain!” Xie Chunxi immediately jumped out and explained to Mo Chu, “The Hunting Festival, as its name implies, is the hunting of magical beasts and magical plants in the Magical Region. On this day, all citizens can enter the Magical Region. As long as you are lucky enough to encounter them, you can capture those magical beasts and magical plants as you wish!”
Mo Chu quickly grasped the main point. “All citizens? Then… What about those people who don’t have special abilities? Aren’t they afraid of being eaten alive by magical plants and magical beasts? Or, is this all related to… the thick fog in front of us?”
“Smart!” Xie Chunxi snapped his fingers and nodded his head in approval.
“That’s right. When the thick fog comes together, all magical plants and magical beasts in the Magical Region will be affected and almost lose all their combat power. However, this thick fog doesn’t have much influence on us humans. It’s precise because of this that those ordinary citizens without special abilities can take this opportunity to make a trip to the Magical Region today.”
“This thick fog is only found in our Dark Ocean Galaxy!” Xie Chunxi added proudly.
Hearing this, Mo Chu nodded in understanding. No wonder Xie Chunxi thought that she did not know that the Hunting Festival was a very strange thing. With this strange festival, there was probably no one in the entire galaxy who did not know about it!
“Then why didn’t you let me touch the thick fog just now?” Thinking of this, Mo Chu was a little confused again. “Didn’t you say that the fog doesn’t have any effect on people?”
“Yes, it doesn’t have any effect,” Xie Chunxi continued, “But that was after the Magical Region allowed us to enter!”
Huh? What did he mean?
“In the Magical Region covered by the thick fog, although the magical plants and magical beasts inside have lost their resistance, not everyone can go in and take advantage of it. On the contrary, the thick fog will restrict the number of people. Once it exceeds a certain limit, no one will be allowed to enter again.”
“That’s why you were in such a hurry before?” Mo Chu smiled as she looked at Xie Chunxi.
“Of course.” Xie Chunxi looked as though it was a matter of course. “Look at how many people have surrounded us. If we are late and can’t enter, we will have to wait for another 20 years!”
Upon hearing this, Mo Chu raised her head and looked.
She could not help but be shocked!
That’s right. Previously, there were some loose people around her. Now, there was not even a place for her to rest! At a glance, she could see that there were people everywhere!
“As you can see, there are too many people.” Xie Chunxi helplessly spread his hands. “That’s why there were people who rashly tried to barge in before the thick fog was fully formed. In the end, the moment their bodies touched the thick fog, they were corroded into a puddle of water. In the end, not even a trace was left behind!”
“Corroded into a puddle of water?” Hearing this, Mo Chu sucked in a breath of cold air. Looking at Ning Yiyuan’s tightly held hands, she could not help but feel a lingering fear in her heart. She had almost touched the fog just now…
No wonder those people looked at her as if she was an idiot. After all, which normal person would be foolish enough to seek their own death? And it was such a painful and miserable death!
Of course, except for her, who did not have common sense?
“However, how do you know when the thick fog completely formed?” Mo Chu asked out of curiosity despite the lingering fear.
“It’s very simple.” Ning Yiyuan curled the corner of her mouth and pointed at the Magical Region. “Can’t you see for yourself?”
What?
Mo Chu turned around to look!
