Chapter 2612 Those you know are also among them!
quiet!
The study was quiet; all three of them could hear each other's breathing, creating an odd atmosphere.
Of all the people, Miao Yi was naturally the most nervous.
He knew that his strength was not high enough to express his attitude in the conversation between the two people in front of him, nor could he act as a peacemaker to help them resolve their crisis.
So Miao Yi could only sit quietly to one side, looking somewhat awkward. She could only pick at her fingers to keep herself from getting bored, afraid that the conversation between the two people in front of her would affect her.
In contrast, Ling Tian looked at Peng Yuchen calmly. Ling Tian didn't have much dissatisfaction with the request he made, but Peng Yuchen's reaction made Ling Tian a little unhappy.
Logically speaking, since he had already indicated that he would help them resist the monster attacks, Peng Yuchen shouldn't have acted so forcefully, making it seem as if Ling Tian was unwilling.
This created an awkward atmosphere between the two, with a tense atmosphere between them.
Time passed slowly, and after about a minute, Peng Yuchen finally smiled and said softly, "Mr. Ling, please don't misunderstand. If you don't want to help us, we naturally won't have any complaints. I just want to say that the monster attack affects the entire Apocalypse Space."
"If we cannot withstand the attack, the final result will be the extinction of martial artists and the destruction of the world. At that time, even if Mr. Ling wants to return to his world, it will become extremely difficult, or rather, there will be no possibility of returning."
Peng Yuchen explained softly, seemingly defending his previous reaction, but in reality, it was still a threat.
Although Ling Tian was dissatisfied with this, he also knew that Peng Yuchen was right. This situation did indeed require his help, otherwise it would affect his future.
Therefore, Ling Tian sighed and said in a low voice, "I know, but I want to know some details about the monster attack, including the specific time, their target, and what I need to do. I want to know all of this, so... could you answer my questions?"
“I want to know everything. I don’t want to be kept in the dark about the monster attacks. I want to know the same things as you, not different things. So… I want to know the same things as you.”
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Peng Yuchen remained calm. He simply nodded and said, "Okay, but before I tell you this information, I need to know about your relationship with that peak-level demon beast. I need to figure out if you're on our side."
As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Yuchen stared intently at Ling Tian, a serious look in his eyes. "I hope you understand that monster attacks are something we must be extremely careful about. We must be cautious enough to prevent danger from befalling us."
"I'm afraid of this, because my careless act of entrusting trust could plunge all of humanity's martial arts into crisis. Of course, this isn't about doubting you; I just need to be aware of the situation. What do you think, Mr. Ling?"
With a simple sentence, Peng Yuchen finally voiced his doubts.
In fact, Ling Tian understood that although Peng Yuchen seemed to have always expressed enough trust in him and never cared about his identity or motives, he was still worried about his relationship with Qiu Qiu.
No matter what, the fact remains that he appeared in the central city with a peak-level demon beast. Even if Ling Tian wanted to argue, he couldn't change that. So, Ling Tian understood Peng Yuchen's worries or doubts.
He smiled faintly and nodded: "I can tell you, but I hope you understand that my ultimate goal is to go home, to return to my own world. I don't want my world to be attacked by monsters, so... I'm on the same side as you."
"understand!"
Seeing that Peng Yuchen agreed, Ling Tian did not hide anything and briefly recounted his story with Qiuqiu, including their time on the Holy Mountain and the reasons for their agreement.
After hearing what had happened between them, Peng Yuchen remained silent, simply looking at Ling Tian as if trying to determine whether what Ling Tian said was true.
Just then, Miao Yi, who was standing to the side, subconsciously asked, "Mr. Ling, does the city you went to also have a sacred mountain?"
Miao Yi's sudden question made Peng Yuchen turn around and look at him, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes: "What? Does Mr. Miao also have a sacred mountain?"
“Yes!” Miao Yi nodded: “Back then…”
Miao Yi also briefly recounted her interactions with Ling Tian.
After hearing everything, Peng Yuchen frowned slightly, looking somewhat serious, and nodded: "I understand. It seems that the sacred mountain in Ningzhou is the gathering place of those demonic beasts. This is also very useful information for us. Mr. Ling, since you've told me something so important..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Yuchen slowly got up, walked to the side, took out a book, sat back down, and handed it to Ling Tian: "Everything you want to know is in this book. All the truth is in this book. It contains everything that Mr. Ling is interested in."
Upon hearing Peng Yuchen's words, Ling Tian took the book from his hand, looked at it, and found that it was a book that was entirely yellow, with every page inside looking old.
Seeing the condition of the book in his hand, Ling Tian raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "This book must be quite old, right? Is there really any information in it that I want to know?"
“Yes.” Peng Yuchen nodded: “It describes everything about the monster attack in detail. Mr. Ling, you can take a good look. You definitely won’t be disappointed. Of course, if you don’t find the answer you’re looking for here, I will answer it for you.”
Peng Yuchen's words piqued Ling Tian's interest in the book in his hand.
This book has clearly been around for a long time, but to be honest, it's quite surprising that it can answer Ling Tian's questions.
However, Ling Tian did not rush to open the book in his hand. Instead, he looked up at Peng Yuchen and said, "Before I know anything else, I would like to ask when the monster attack took place. I want to know the exact time."
“We don’t know either.” Peng Yuchen shook his head: “But the only thing we can figure out is that the monsters will launch an attack within a month, because… countless monsters have gathered outside the central city and are eyeing it covetously.”
"Including... the demon beast that Mr. Ling knew, and she was among them!"
