Zhao Meng did not know where this feeling came from.
However, it was this strange feeling that made him reject Ma Linlin's suggestion without hesitation.
"This human is quite interesting!"
Ma Linlin tilted her head and glanced at Zhao Meng. The fierceness in her eyes disappeared.
At this moment, the neighing of horses came from ahead.
Zhao Meng, who had just followed Ma Linlin up a gentle slope, saw the camp in front of him.
"This is the horse demon's camp!"
Seeing the camp so close to him, Zhao Meng immediately understood that Ma Linlin was testing him just now.
If he had said the word "ride" just now, the consequences would have been unpredictable.
At the thought of this, he looked at Ma Linlin. Although this horse looked cute, she had many ideas in her mind.
At this moment, a horse demon in the camp had also discovered Ma Linlin and ran over slowly.
"Linlin, it's only a shower, and yet you have to avoid us. What if you encounter the wolf tribe?"
"Aunt, don't worry. This place is close to the Two-World Pass. The wolf tribe doesn't dare to approach this place!"
"It's precisely because… Eh! Why did you bring back a human?"
"Aunt, it's like this!"
Ma Linlin whispered into the horse's ear. When the brown horse heard this, she nodded and said, "Human, it's not safe outside the Two-World Pass City. Why don't you let us bring you into the city?
"When the time comes, all you have to do is pay me some money!"
"…"
However, when he heard the brown horse's question, Zhao Meng did not answer immediately. Instead, his expression turned strange.
In Zhao Meng's field of view, he saw a brown horse head staring at him.
This was what he found strange.
Zhao Meng originally thought that he had encountered a centaur tribe.
However, when he approached this camp, he realized that all the horse demons in this camp were existences similar to horses.
He did not see a single centaur like Ma Linlin.
"Could it be because Ma Linlin had some cultivation technique?"
"Hey! Human, how about this deal?"
"What kind of deal?"
"We escort you into the city!"
Ma Linlin thought that Zhao Meng had yet to recover from the fall into the water, so she repeated her suggestion.
"Sure!"
Zhao Meng thought for a moment and agreed.
He wanted to know what had happened in the past eighteen years.
As such, Zhao Meng was brought into the tribe.
In the process of entering the tribe, the brown horse even asked about Zhao Meng's situation indirectly.
For example, his name, and how did he fall into the water? Was he a human from the Two-World Pass City?
It could be seen that this brown horse was very cautious, as if she was confirming Zhao Meng's identity and whether he had any ill-will.
And in the process of the brown horse's inquiry, he had also learned a lot from the brown horse.
…
The sound of wheels squeaking continuously entered Zhao Meng's ears.
Lying on an open carriage, he felt the vibrations under him and looked up at the blue sky and white clouds. His heart slowly calmed down.
"Eighteen years have passed just like that!"
Recalling the information he had learned from the brown horse, Zhao Meng still found it unbelievable.
Who would have thought that 18 years would pass just like that?
"I had thought that it was because of the use of the message that led to some terrifying consequences. From the looks of it now, I was buried underground during the battle on Two-World Mountain!
"But how could I still be alive after being buried for so long?
"Did Qing Xuan protect me when I was unconscious?"
Zhao Meng thought about how he had been unconscious for 18 years and how he had survived.
From the horse demon's recount, Zhao Meng learned that an unprecedented battle had occurred on Two-World Mountain 18 years ago.
This battle had forcefully flattened the mountain. Originally, the humans and demons were separated by the Two-World Mountain range.
But now that such a huge gap had appeared, the dividing line between humans and demons had disappeared.
As for the cause of the battle, anyone who asked would die. This question had almost become a taboo among the demons.
So after only 18 years, the cause of the battle had become a mystery.
However, it was vaguely rumored that a human had offended a large number of demons.
It made these demons not hesitate to fight. They sent a large number of spies into the human world to search for evidence.
Such an action caused displeasure among the human countries, and the human world was in chaos for a period of time.
This chaos only subsided a few years ago.
Recalling what the brown horse had told him, Zhao Meng smelled the scent emitted by the surrounding green grass and sighed inwardly.
"I wonder which human tribe was so mighty that it was able to offend the entire demon race?
"I wonder if that mighty human tribe is still alive?
"It's probably dead!
"If it's still alive, it might be hunted down by a large number of demons!"
At the thought of this, an image appeared in Zhao Meng's eyes.
Countless demons were staring at a human with green light in their eyes.
Thinking of such a terrifying thing, he could not help but shiver.
"Hey! Zhao Meng, do you have enough money?
"When the time comes, if you can't afford it, you have to work for us!"
A sweet voice entered Zhao Meng's ears. Ma Linlin had run over at some point.
"Of course!"
"That's good!"
With that, Ma Linlin skipped away.
Seeing Ma Linlin so lively, a gentle smile appeared on Zhao Meng's face.
"This horse demon tribe is really interesting!"
He had learned of the horse demon tribe's identity from his conversation with the brown horse.
Since the demons could become a civilization on par with the humans, there were naturally certain internal operating rules.
In terms of operating a business, the demons were not inferior to the humans.
Among the demons, the horse tribe was an important tribe that ran businesses.
Because of the strength of their legs and their talent, the horse tribe mainly made a living by doing business.
The horse tribe he was in was one of the horse merchants. This demon tribe was carrying goods and was planning to head to the Two-World Pass of the human race to trade.
Originally, there was very little interaction between humans and demons.
Due to the barrier of the Two-World Mountain, it was not convenient for humans and demons to come and go. However, when such a huge gap appeared on the Two-World Mountain, be it the merchants of the human race or the wise ones of the demons, they all saw a huge business opportunity with this gap.
After the turmoil between the demons and humans calmed down a few years ago, the humans and the demons had close business dealings in this area.
The Two-World Pass City in front was originally meant to stop the communication between humans and demons on behalf of the Two-World Mountain.
However, with a huge amount of business benefits, Two-World Pass City gradually transformed from a pass into a business city.
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to that mighty human that humans and demons could have such a business exchange!"
