Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 116 Leaving the Mountains

"No, no, no, I'm not thirsty yet!"

Upon hearing this, Anan put away the thick tree trunk that was still dripping with green sap with some regret, and then tied the resilient trunk into a knot in front of Kalia's shocked gaze.

Anan looked at Bai Hao and then at Kalia, frowning and asking, "You actually came down from the sky before, what's up there? Are there many villages above those thick clouds? Can I go up with you to take a look?"

Kalia couldn't help laughing after hearing what Anan said, and based on her memory, she simply judged that she and her brother Bai Hao probably flew down from the Earth Dragon Beast. Then Kalia briefly explained it to Anan.

As for the unconscious Bai Hao, Kalia believed based on common sense that it was because his magic power was exhausted. However, Kalia remembered that she had seen Bai Hao's magic power exhausted due to excessive experiments many times before, but he was not as awakenable as he was now.

Anan exclaimed, and said excitedly: "Earth Dragon Beast? Forty-seven years ago, I saw it on the highest peak of Nanshu Mountain Range. I remember it was a big red bird with six wings. I even drew it. It turns out that it is called Earth Dragon Beast!"

Kalia was interrupted by Anan's exclamation. She laughed and said, "Anan, the one you are talking about is a fire eagle. It is far inferior to a drake. Besides, a drake almost always flies above the clouds. It only flies low when it is about to land."

"Really? Then can you draw it for me? And the gray-white beam of light when you came down must be connected to the earth dragon beast above the clouds. It's really high. I can't even see it from the top of the mountain..."

"A grayish-white beam of light? Anan, tell me about it."

......

Goudan, wearing a somewhat worn animal skin vest from last year, followed his father on the bumpy dirt road. He was carrying a load of wood on his back that was much heavier than his own weight, but it did not affect his cheerful pace at all.

Seeing his father carrying a strong wild boar on his shoulders, Gou Dan couldn't help but ask, "Dad, when can I go hunting with you in the mountains? I'm already fifteen years old!"

Goudan's father is called Xiongdan. His temples are already gray, but although he is almost fifty years old, his body is still as strong as a young man in his twenties.

Xiongdan didn't turn around when he heard that. He just said sullenly, "You are such a coward, you'll have to wait another two years before you can recover from your physique."

"I am not just a coward. Erhuzi from the next village has been going into the mountains to hunt with his grandfather for almost a year. He always brings back a lot of meat. He is obviously younger than me..."

Xiongdan listened quietly to his son's mumbling without saying anything. This son was born to Xiongdan when he was in his thirties and his frail and sick wife had tried her best to give birth to him. Not long after Goudan was born, his wife died of illness due to her poor health.

Xiong Dan is almost fifty years old now, and basically no woman would be interested in him anymore. Therefore, he treats his only son like a treasure.

"Huh, come with me into the mountains in a few days to find Lord Anan, and pay your respects to the guardian god of the Nanshu Mountains. It will be safer with him watching over you."

When Goudan heard that his father finally agreed to let him go into the mountains, he couldn't help but jump up with joy, and several pieces of wood on his back rolled off.

Gou Dan hurriedly picked up the wood on the ground, fearing that his father would be unhappy and regret it. At the same time, he smiled and said to his father: "Dad, can we really find Lord Anan God? Why have I never seen him outside the Nanshu Mountains?"

Xiongdan seemed a little tired. He put the wild boar off his shoulder and exclaimed, "You don't know this, right? Lord Anan God never leaves the Nanshu Mountains. Although we are now outside the Nanshu Mountains, it is absolutely impossible to see Lord Anan God here. At least your father has lived for almost fifty years and has never seen him outside the mountains..."

Xiong Dan was still talking when he suddenly noticed that his son was looking behind him with a frightened expression, so Xiong Dan immediately took out a long knife from his waist and rolled forward to leave the spot.

When Xiongdan thought it was some kind of bird of prey, he looked closely and found that it was the familiar Lord Anan. Xiongdan immediately showed an expression of surprise that was no less than that of his son.

Anan said excitedly, "Oh, you are Xiongdan from the Hudan family, right? I have two human children that fell from the Earth Dragon Beast. Can you help me send them to the village? No, I want to send them there myself."

Not long ago, Anan was still feeling embarrassed about Kalia's request. Although Kalia only asked him to lead the way to the nearest village, this was almost impossible for Anan who could not leave the Nanshu Mountains at all.

Anan could sense everything that happened in the Nanshu Mountains very clearly, and not long ago, a hunter named Xiongdan from the outskirts of the Nanshu Mountains had just left the mountains.

At the beginning, after Anan led Kalia, who was carrying Bai Hao on her back, to a stream, he said to Kalia helplessly: "I can't cross this stream anymore. Every step I take into this stream makes me feel more and more scared and uncomfortable all over."

After that, Anan simply told Kalia about the next route to go and wanted to turn back to the depths of the mountains. However, Kalia, who was carrying Bai Hao on her back, accidentally stepped on a smooth stone while crossing the stream.

Just when Kalia was about to fall, Anan instantly appeared beside Kalia, and gently supported Kalia with the thick and sturdy branch.

Before Kalia could say thank you, Anan started yelling, "No, actually no, Anan is not uncomfortable, not uncomfortable at all, hahahaha..."

Now Xiongdan was looking at Anan who could not possibly appear here and felt a little bit unbelievable. He could not help asking: "Lord Anan, this is the outskirts of Nanshu Mountain Range. You can't..."

"Yes, yes. For thousands of years, I couldn't get out. I didn't expect to get out today! Take me to your village. I want to see what human houses look like, as well as your wells, your markets, your churches, and..."

Xiongdan had almost never seen God Anan so excited. After all, in his more than 30 years of hunting career, every time he saw God Anan, he always looked indifferent and dull. The taciturn Anan would only say a few words when he mentioned some new things outside to him.

In the eyes of everyone outside the Nanshu Mountains, Anan has almost no desires or wants. He doesn't eat and doesn't need to worry about birth, aging, sickness and death.

But almost everyone overlooked one thing: what Anan longed for most was the freedom that the villagers had long taken for granted.
