Chapter 133 - Your Friends Have Left The Caravan (2/2)

Wei Huo knew that the so-called Sundial and the ‘hours’ were all named like this by the translation device. This could not be accurate, but it was enough to show what the Mountain Giant wanted to express.

Wei Huo did not consider it or make up anything. He only said, “Based on human time, we have 48 hours a day, 60 minutes an hour, and 60 seconds a minute.”

The Mountain Giant was curious. “How long is one second?”

Wei Huo blinked and snapped his fingers. He then took two steps.

The Mountain Giant nodded. “I understand. You humans live so fast because you have short lifespans, right?”

Wei Huo thought about it and said, “No, we are in a hurry.”

The Mountain Giant nodded. “Time hasn’t increased or decreased. It’s just that different creatures walk fast or slow. I think it takes four hours to think of a problem. Sometimes, I spend an entire day observing the sun. I think the sun is a mythical creature. It loves the earth like a mother. Perhaps the earth is its child.”

It had probably been a long time since the Mountain Giant had gotten a chance to communicate with someone. It had spoken a lot to Wei Huo, told him many things, and it kept telling its own stories. Most importantly, it spoke very slowly, just like a locally-produced television series. It stopped speaking after Wei Huo said a few words.

Wei Huo returned after talking to the Mountain Giant for seven to eight hours. The sun was right in the middle of the sky. The Mountain Giant had said that it needed to look at the sun and think about stones. However, before Wei Huo had left, it had said, “Everything has its own path. We can’t interfere. Everything has its final destination. We can’t stop it.”

Wei Huo did not understand why the Mountain Giant had said that. It was probably because it had witnessed too many deaths. Wei Huo had as well. He had also witnessed the destruction of many things. Perhaps one day, he would witness his own destruction. As the Mountain Giant had said, everything would come to an end.

When Wei Huo returned to the Rose Manor, Xiao Bin and the others were having their second meal. Wei Huo walked to the door and said, “We should go!”

Xiao Bin stood up immediately. Mo Guyun hesitated for a moment before standing up as well. However, Lu Ren, Long Tao, and Liu Ying did not move.

Wei Huo frowned slightly. The atmosphere suddenly changed. Everyone looked at Wei Huo in fear, especially Lu Ren and Long Tao.

Mo Guyun walked over and said, “Little Sister Liu Ying’s health is not doing well. She’s not fit to travel with us. Auntie Li has been talking to me for a long time. Why don’t we let her stay here?”

Wei Huo nodded. “I will not force anyone. You can stay if you want to!”

Wei Huo looked at Xiao Bin. “Are you staying?”

Xiao Bin shook his head firmly. “No, I want to come with you.”

Wei Huo looked at Lu Ren and Long Tao. The two of them stood up, looking like they had no idea what to do. They dared not lift their heads under Wei Huo’s gaze, but they still said timidly, “We are sorry, Big Brother Wei. It’s too dangerous for us to travel outside. Given our strength, we’ll just be a burden to you. We’ll follow you next time!”
