A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 822 - 808: Miaomiao Village—Days Gone By

After the voice emerged, all the cats calmed down.

They spontaneously cleared a path.

An elderly cat, hunched and leaning on a cane, slowly approached, accompanied by two young cats supporting him, fearing he might fall.

"I am the village chief here, Abelron..."

The old cat's speech was not fast, but his name was so long that by the end, Baiyu simply didn't remember it.

Clearly, Aphel and Wang Shenghua also didn't remember the old village chief's name.

"Chief Meow, we mean no harm."

Baiyu took the initiative to step forward and said solemnly, "We came here only to seek revenge, with absolutely no intention of invading the village."

The village chief stroked his whiskers, his green eyes scanning the four of them.

Then, suddenly, his expression became excited.

The four of them felt a bit tense, thinking the old village chief was going to cause trouble for them.

But who knew, the old village chief unexpectedly took two steps to Aphel's side, tears welling up in his eyes: "Are you, are you Aphel?!"

This unexpected turn surprised everyone.

Aphel never expected this old cat to recognize her. It was already strange for cats to speak, and the bizarre development of these events was beyond her expectation.

This was completely different from when she had left before.

"You are?"

Aphel hesitated for a moment, confirming she didn't recognize this old cat in her mind, then slowly asked.

"I am Barry!"

The old cat tapped his cane on the ground, speaking excitedly: "You aren't dead? You've been gone for so many years, we all thought you had passed away."

Hearing the name Barry, Aphel froze, and then displayed a look of disbelief: "Barry, the village chief?

What happened to our village?

How did it change to this state, and why have you turned into this form?"

The old cat sighed: "Ever since you left, our village dared not approach the back mountain, which is where you had said something was sealing the Genetic Primordial.

We lived in isolation from the world.

However.

One year during our Sacrifice to the Divine Spirit, something went wrong, interrupted by a man who looked like he had a turtle shell on his back.

That time.

The Divine Spirit became enraged and cast a Curse, turning us into this form."

Tears glistened on Barry's face.

And the surrounding cats also began to cry.

Aphel's face twisted, and even someone as composed as her could not accept this explanation: "Divine Spirit? How could that be a Divine Spirit, even if there was one, it would just be some powerful mutated human!"

"Not necessarily, there's a saying that the Divine Spirits are three feet above our heads."

Baiyu shook his head: "If I guessed correctly, I might have seen the Divine Spirit that your village chief mentioned."

The Yellow Sand Realm belongs to Loloya.

So she is naturally the only True God here.

But Baiyu wasn't sure about the Extraordinary Abilities that could turn people into cats.

"This isn't a place to talk, are we just going to stand here?"

Vina interjected at this moment.

Barry wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Come with me. You haven't been in the village for years, so you don't know how much it's changed."

With that.

He led a group of cats, heading to the largest house in the village.

Though in Baiyu's eyes, this house was only about the size of a study room.

...

Along the way.

Baiyu and Wang Shenghua listened to the village chief and Aphel's explanations, gradually figuring out what happened here.

This is the village where Aphel was born.

The village is isolated from the world, due to the Genetic Power emitted by the sleeping Genetic Primordial, rarely do outsiders dare to pass through the Mist Forest in the front to enter the village.

Even if someone enters the forest.

They often end up lost.

Over time, this village became a utopia of sorts, undisturbed by anyone.

The only people who knew of this village.

Were people from another village also located within the forbidden zone.

However, over many years, the two villages maintained a peaceful coexistence, frequently interacting with each other.

Vina was born in the other village.

But everything.

Began to change as the power emitted by the Genetic Primordial grew stronger.

The Genetic Power shrouding the outside of the village grew stronger, drawing the attention of major forces like the company.

Internally.

Aphel and Vina experienced mutations due to the influence of the Genetic Primordial, becoming mutated humans.

In fact.

There were many mutated people in the village, but their abilities were the most special, which is why when the company invaded, they captured them for experimentation.

When people acquire non-human abilities, their thoughts change.

The Beast Puppet was also from the village, but it wanted to completely control both villages and monopolize the power of the Genetic Primordial. Such inflated ambition was something the peace-loving villagers could never agree to.

Both villages unanimously decided to expel the Beast Puppet.

However.

This kindness instead led to a catastrophic disaster.

Not long after being expelled from the forbidden zone, the Beast Puppet returned with the Geling Company's army.

It was basically the tale of leading wolves into the house.

The power of the two villages was not weak, affected by the two Genetic Primordials, their mutated abilities were varied, causing significant losses to the company.

However.

That was it.

The company dispatched several elite officers at once, accompanied by an army with Hot Fire Devices, along with the Beast Puppet as an "insider" guiding the way, quickly overwhelming the two villages.

A large number of villagers were captured.

Those who remained took the opportunity to escape into the Mist Forest, and it seemed that the company's people couldn't withstand the Genetic Primordial's radiation either, and quickly withdrew.

However.

They took over a hundred villagers back to the company for genetic experiments.

In the end.

Fewer than one in ten survived.

Aphel and Vina were the fortunate survivors.

That's why they harbor such hatred for the Beast Puppet, willing to overlook the company for now to return and kill the Beast Puppet first.

After the Geling Company invasion.

The village suffered a severe blow. The lucky survivors regrouped, rebuilding the village as it stands today.

Meanwhile, the Beast Puppet occupied the Genetic Primordial's location, frequently attacking them.

Previously, the survivors had the strength to fight back, but since the Divine Punishment, everyone turned into cats, rendering them powerless.

Fortunately.

The Beast Puppet seemed to have lost interest in this group of cats, hiding in the Genetic Primordial's resting place and rarely coming out.

Thus.

A bizarre, absurd balance was achieved within the forbidden zone.

"So the Beast Puppet has been here all these years... Chief, are you sure this form you all have is really a Divine Spirit's punishment?"

Aphel asked with a doubtful attitude.
