Chapter 401 Delivering Heavy Objects
"After that, your grandfather treated me like a thief, not letting me go to play with your grandmother, as if he was looking for someone else who would even look at him." Monkey Sparrow turned his head and looked at him with a hint of resentment.
Lang Cang chuckled and said nothing more.
Thinking of the past, Hou Que's wrinkled face softened a bit. It was just a pity that all her old friends had left. Lang Cang's grandmother was gone, Lang Ku was gone, and even their children were gone. Now she was all alone.
Who knows, maybe one day she'll have to go to the Beast God to look for them too.
Lang Cang watched as Hou Que was lost in his memories, and remained silent without disturbing him.
After the monkey sparrow came to her senses, she waved her hand and sighed, "There's no point in saying all this, they've all left anyway."
Monkey Sparrow turned his head, his aged face full of solemnity, "But I called you here for something else."
Seeing his expression, Lang Cang's expression turned serious. "What is it?"
Monkey Sparrow smiled and said, "Before Wolf Ku left with the Star Wolf Tribe, he left something with me for a long time, instructing me to keep it safe. This thing has been with me for more than ten years. Now that you're here, I'll return it to you."
Oh? Grandpa actually left them something?
How could he have foreseen that some of his descendants would return to the South?
Monkey Sparrow placed his cane aside and stood it upright. He pressed down on the top of the cane, which was taller than a person, and the huge wooden ball on the cane instantly opened, revealing the empty space inside.
Lang Cang looked over with some curiosity. What was that? Why was it so mysterious?
Monkey Sparrow reached into the gap inside and took out a box. The box was obviously made of white jade, and it was very similar to the box containing the holy crystal that they had seen in the Chaoxiong tribe before.
At this moment, Lang Cang's heart suddenly began to pound violently. As if realizing something, he stared intently at the box.
Sure enough, the monkey placed the white jade box on the table and slowly opened it. A dazzling light burst out from the box, and Lang Cang opened his eyes slightly to see that inside was a fragment of a holy crystal.
The light on the sacred crystal is ancient and mysterious, containing countless tiny points of light. Upon closer inspection, each point of light is slowly flowing, shimmering with its own unique radiance.
Lang Cang was momentarily speechless, "This, this is a fragment of a Holy Crystal!"
The monkey-sparrow glanced at him indifferently, "That's right, this is indeed a fragment of the Holy Crystal."
"The Golden Monkey Tribe also possesses Sacred Crystals?"
The monkey-sparrow shook its head. "No, this is a fragment of the Holy Crystal that belongs to your Star Wolf Clan."
"How is that possible? That Sacred Crystal has always been worshipped in the Star Wolf Tribe. I saw it later being stolen by those orcs. Could it be that the Star Wolf Tribe possessed two fragments of the Sacred Crystal back then?" Lang Cang frowned, his face full of confusion.
The monkey-sparrow shook its head. "No, the Star Wolf Clan only has one fragment of the Holy Crystal."
Lang Cang stared intently at the monkey-sparrow in front of him, eager to hear her explanation.
Monkey Sparrow smiled slightly, "This just goes to show that your grandfather was a real sly fox."
"Back then, when he left with the Star Wolf Tribe, he secretly came to the Golden Monkey Tribe. He split the Holy Crystal fragment in two, took one part with him, and left the other part with me."
“The Golden Monkey Tribe’s territory is deep in this dense forest. Without the guidance of the Golden Monkey Beastmen, the beastmen from other tribes simply cannot enter. In addition, your grandfather did indeed carry a fragment of the Holy Crystal, so over the years, they have never doubted the integrity of that Holy Crystal.”
"He did this to prevent the Holy Crystal from being taken away one day. Even if the orcs find the other remaining fragments of the Holy Crystal, it won't be complete without the part I have."
Hearing him say that, Lang Cang was stunned for a long time. Good heavens, his grandfather really calculated things to the extreme.
He didn't even dare to imagine that if the orcs really did what his grandfather predicted, even if they found the remaining fragments of the Holy Crystal, they still wouldn't be able to fully fuse them. He would probably be furious!
As if she knew what Lang Cang was thinking, the monkey sparrow shook her head and smiled, "Your grandfather really was a very intelligent male beastman."
"Before he left, he told me that if I were lucky enough to encounter a descendant of the Star Wolf Clan, and if he had the desire to avenge his people, I should give him this fragment of the Holy Crystal." Monkey Sparrow turned to look at him.
Wolf Cang asked instinctively, "What if he doesn't have the desire for revenge?"
The monkey gave him a meaningful look, "Then this fragment of the holy crystal will be sealed here with me forever."
"When I return to the Beast God to repay his kindness, it will be buried deep underground with me."
In that case, the orcs will never be able to fulfill their greedy desires.
“However, there are no ifs now. You have already chosen this path, so this is yours.” The monkey held the jade box in both hands and handed it to the wolf.
Her eyes were filled with deep satisfaction and expectation. "You truly are a descendant of Lang Ku. You are just like him, strong and reliable, capable of shouldering the responsibilities of the entire Star Wolf Clan."
"I hope you can really do what Lang Ku couldn't do back then."
Wolf Cang took the jade box from Monkey Sparrow's hand. From that moment on, he truly believed that the old sub-beastman in front of him was indeed closely related to his grandparents.
The fact that he was entrusted by his grandfather to preserve the fragments of the Bible for so many years without becoming greedy shows that Monkey Sparrow is indeed a trustworthy subhuman.
"Rest assured, I will definitely rescue my people first. As for the remaining grudges of our clan's extermination, I will settle them with them slowly." Lang Cang solemnly promised Hou Que, word by word.
The monkey smiled at him and said, "I'll be waiting for that day."
“However, it seems you haven’t completed the inheritance before the Holy Crystal?” She looked up at the tall, upright male orc in front of her.
Lang Cang was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting her to even know this.
Seeing his expression, the monkey sparrow looked unusually smug and said half-jokingly, "You don't know, do you! I used to be very popular in your Star Wolf Clan. If your grandma hadn't only liked your grandpa, I almost could have killed him and become the chief of the Star Wolf Clan!"
Lang Cang smiled in perfect agreement.
"Alright, alright, actually, this is what your grandfather told me. He was afraid that something unexpected might happen and the biblical tradition might be lost, so he told me. Logically speaking, this is something that only the clan chiefs and high priests should know, and I actually have this honor." She laughed self-deprecatingly.
"That only shows that Grandpa and Grandma really trust you," Lang Cang said earnestly.
The monkey glanced at him, but its expression became increasingly relaxed.
"Come with me. This holy crystal is just a fragment. The inheritance is probably not complete, but it's better than nothing."
