"I don't care what you are, but this is not a place for you. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly!"
Zi Lingling wanted to explain, but although she could understand what they were saying, she couldn't speak their language.
What should she do?
Zi Lingling was anxious in her heart, but helpless. She could only stand there, looking up at the stone giants.
Seeing that Zi Lingling had no intention of leaving, the stone giants immediately put on stern faces and started babbling again.
Their meaning was clear: "We kindly advised you, but you didn't listen. Do you want us to resort to force?"
Zi Lingling shook her head and said, "I've come here to find someone, not to cause trouble!"
As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, so she spoke slowly.
Of course, the inspiration came from sign language in her past life, but she wasn't sure if the other party could understand.
The leader of the giants was too tall, and his body made of stone couldn't bend. He could only see Zi Lingling flailing her arms.
Even though Zi Lingling's movements were very slow, he still looked bewildered.
He babbled, "This place is not suitable for strange species like you. You should leave!"
Zi Lingling was depressed. It seemed her attempt at communication through sign language had failed.
Just then, Elder Du's shocked voice rang out.
"I know! I remember! They are the Stone Tribe! They are the Stone Tribe who disappeared nearly a hundred thousand years ago!"
The Stone Tribe?
Zi Lingling was stunned.
This was the first time she had heard the name of this race.
Even in the ancient texts of the Zi family, which she had memorized, there was no record of the Stone Tribe.
It seemed Elder Du was indeed her mobile library!
"Elder Du, do you have any way to communicate with them?"
Elder Du rolled his eyes. "Do you think I'm omnipotent?"
"The Stone Tribe is an ancient race, and they use an ancient language. I am only a little over a thousand years old, how could I possibly understand it?"
Zi Lingling rolled her eyes back at him. "Then why are you so excited?"
Elder Du glared. "How can I not be excited? This is an ancient race that disappeared nearly a hundred thousand years ago. To see them alive now, how can I not be excited?"
Zi Lingling was about to retort when her eyes suddenly lit up. "Elder Du, was the language universal in ancient times?"
Universal?
Elder Du didn't understand her meaning.
Zi Lingling smiled. "I mean, in ancient times, did all races use the same language?"
Elder Du said unhappily, "How would I know? I wasn't alive in ancient times, nor have I been there!"
Zi Lingling scoffed, "I thought you were the Complete Library of Four Collections, but it turns out you're just a chapter from the Book of Moral Teachings!"
"Never mind. Since you don't know, I'll ask someone else."
After saying that, Zi Lingling contacted the spirit of the Divine Maiden Palace, Yiran.
Matters from a hundred thousand years ago naturally had to be asked of someone from a hundred thousand years ago. Su Dan Novel Network
The reason she didn't contact Huang Yi was because Huang Yi was currently in a spirit state and had lost many memories.
Unless her body and soul were reunited, it would be difficult for her to answer Zi Lingling's question.
However, Yiran had existed as a complete entity for a hundred thousand years, an old monster who should know these things.
Yiran sensed Zi Lingling's summons and immediately appeared. "Master, what is it?"
Zi Lingling asked, "Yiran, can you speak the language of the Stone Tribe?"
"The Stone Tribe? Didn't the Stone Tribe disappear ten thousand years ago? Why is Master suddenly asking about this? Also, how does Master know about the Stone Tribe?"
Zi Lingling said impatiently, "Am I asking you, or are you asking me? Forget it, let me show you this!"
As she spoke, she opened the connection between the Divine Maiden Palace and the outside world.
Yiran looked out curiously.
Upon seeing this, she was startled.
She had initially thought Zi Lingling was just casually asking, but she never expected to actually see the Stone Tribe.
The Stone Tribe? It was indeed the Stone Tribe!
Yiran was greatly alarmed.
Although she couldn't leave the Divine Maiden Palace, the extinction of the Stone Tribe was common knowledge among the ancient people.
Now, a race that had been extinct suddenly appeared before her, it was no wonder Yiran was startled!
However, having lived for over a hundred thousand years, she quickly calmed down.
"Master, ancient languages were not regional, so I can communicate with the Stone Tribe."
Zi Lingling was overjoyed. "That's great! Hurry and tell them that I'm only here to find someone and not to be their enemy."
Yiran shook her head. "Master, have you forgotten? I am a spirit of a divine artifact, and they cannot see me!"
The joy that had just appeared on Zi Lingling's face froze, and she said with a bitter expression, "Then what do we do?"
Yiran chuckled. "Master, you are truly muddled!"
Zi Lingling asked, "Muddled? What do you mean?"
Yiran stopped laughing. "Master, aren't you able to remember everything you see, hear, and smell?"
Zi Lingling's eyes lit up. "You mean...?"
Yiran nodded. "Yes, Master. Our souls are shared. I will translate what you want to say into the ancient language and then teach you to recite it. Then you can communicate with them, can't you?"
"What a great idea!" Zi Lingling beamed with joy again.
Meanwhile, the leading stone giant, seeing that Zi Lingling not only ignored his advice but also started acting foolishly on the spot, became very displeased.
Just as he was about to drive her away again, he heard Zi Lingling say, "Friends of the Stone Tribe, I did not intend to disturb your meditation, nor do I wish to provoke you. I am merely looking for someone!"
This time, Zi Lingling spoke in the ancient language.
"How do you know about our Stone Tribe? And how did you suddenly learn our language?"
Zi Lingling smiled. "The Stone Tribe is the most formidable race among the ancient races, none can compare. Isn't it normal for me to know about you?"
"As for how I learned your language, I cannot disclose that. As I said before, I do not wish to be your enemy, I simply want to find this person."
As she spoke, she used her spiritual power to conjure an image of Fu Liuyun in the air.
The leading giant looked astonished. "Is this... a messenger of the gods?"
"A messenger of the gods?"
Zi Lingling was taken aback for a moment, her brow furrowed even tighter.
The leading giant nodded. "Yes, he holds a token from the gods!"
"A token from the gods? What is that?" Zi Lingling was a little confused.
The giant explained, "A token from the gods is the proof of entry to this place! Without the token, the gods absolutely do not allow anyone to approach here."
Zi Lingling's expression changed. It seemed the item in Fu Liuyun's possession was no trivial matter!
The leading man seemed to recall something and looked at Zi Lingling. "By the way, do you have a token?"
Zi Lingling shook her head. "Is it not possible without a token?"
