Wu Ming and Humbaba left Eridu, and he had told the people of Eridu the truth, and assured them that the Feathered Serpent God would return those who were sacrificed, and also promised to return in the future.
They could go out and communicate with other cities, but as a price to protect them, they had to hold wrestling conferences every now and then.
The residents of Eridu naturally agreed, if they could get a blessing from a god like this, then it would be a guaranteed profit.
Now the residents of Eridu are practically relieved, it's quite uncomfortable to be in a comfortable place all day even though they are safe.
And Wu Ming also warned Quetzalcoatl not to continue expanding the forest, so that the city of Ur which was Wu Ming's next target would not be swallowed up by the Quetzalcoatl forest.
And if possible, Wu Ming hoped that Quetzalcoatl would send pterosaurs out to destroy the Demon Beasts that didn't know how to head south.
Quetzalcoatl naturally agreed.
Then, Wu Ming and Humbaba started the journey back to Uruk.
By the way, Wu Ming also told the mayor of Ur about the Feathered Serpent God, which made him feel relieved.
After that, because Wu Ming had neglected Humbaba a little, and the Demon Beast's attack in the north was not strong, Wu Ming decided to ride Humbaba, have a good chat with Humbaba, and then return to Uruk.
Due to the journey, Wu Ming and Humbaba arrived at a field near the Persian Gulf.
Right now, it was already night.
Wu Ming sat in front of the fire, and the pot on the fire floated on it. He leaned on Humbaba's big and soft body, and drank a bowl of broth with a comfortable face, and not far away were the corpses of many Demon Beasts.
This was the Demon Beast that Wu Ming encountered along the way and ambushed passersby, killed by it and made into broth.
After all, no one said that Demon Beasts couldn't be made into food...cough...
"Sometimes I miss the adventure at the start." Wu Ming held onto the broth, remembering the days when he had just graduated from the Land of Shadows, namely the days when Scathach finished his studies and trained himself.
In those days, Wu Ming was like an adventurer. When sleepy, he uses the sky as his bed and the ground as his bed. When he is hungry, he picks wild fruits and hunts animals. When he is thirsty and has spring or dew, he goes to Connaught.
In Wu Ming's view, Scáthach was more like a teacher than a warrior.
Inevitably Scathach taught Wu Ming fighting and Magecraft, and also taught Wu Ming some life principles and various minor knowledges.
After all, it was an old woman who had lived for a long time… cough… Queen, you would know a lot if you lived for a long time, and Wu Ming was considered a "little brother" by Scathach, so she naturally taught many things.
That includes survival in the wild.
However, in reality, it is useless to Wu Ming, so he is never sick and can sleep anywhere, and his stomach is the stomach of the existence of Phantasmal Species, and can't digest anything. Therefore, survival skills in the wild can only be said to be the icing on the cake.
Paying attention to the dangers in the wild will benefit Wu Ming for life, after all, even a strong person will miss a day, and a strong tiger will also take a nap.
But now Wu Ming had Humbaba beside him.
With Humbaba's divine beast temperament, no beasts or robbers had come to attack Wu Ming.
As for those related to gods, there are only Servants and dependents.
Such as Silent and Humbaba, Quetzalcoatl and Pterodactyl, Tiamat and Demon Beast.
However, if there is a real attack, Wu Ming will not be afraid, after all, the power is here.
Although Wu Ming doesn't need to sleep, but rarely spends the night in the wild, he doesn't want to spend it all on the road, and Humbaba is tired, so he plans to spend the night together. Humbaba in the wild.
"You think so too, Humbaba."
"Woooo~" Humbaba also shouted, expressing his agreement that it was every Humbaba's wish to be able to sleep with his master...cough...
After drinking the broth, Wu Ming sorted it out, and then fell asleep with Humbaba.
After that, Wu Ming began to dream and have strange dreams.
Wu Ming came to the black abyss, like falling into a swamp. His actions were extremely difficult, and he couldn't see anything clearly, only a sad song resounded.
Wu Ming could feel the sadness of this song, the helplessness and sadness of a mother who was abandoned by her children.
Wu Ming couldn't help but be attracted to this song, and gradually looked for the owner of the song in the dark room, trying to push his body back into his mother's arms.
At this time, Wu Ming heard Humbaba's cry and woke up.
"Woooo!!"
Wu Ming suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at the already clear sky, and looked around in a daze.
Humbaba put the front paw that hit Wu Ming's head, then rubbed Wu Ming with his head, and his initially anxious appearance stabilized.
Don't know if it was because of being hit by Humbaba, or because of the dream I just had, Wu Ming's brain is now quite sleepy, as if he didn't sleep well.
"That one… was definitely not a dream," Wu Ming said with a bit of fear.
If it wasn't for Humbaba delivering a heavy blow to Wu Ming, he would have truly fallen into the arms of the owner of the song, and once that happened...
Wu Ming had a hunch that he would never wake up again.
After all, his consciousness had passed from body to body of a Servant. If the consciousness is captured, then the Servant's body will disappear, and the body in the Great Root will become a soulless body.
Simply put, it is vegetative.
"Thank you, Humbaba, if it weren't for you, I was afraid I would have been trapped this time, and you have helped a lot." Wu Ming said to Humbaba gratefully.
"Woooo~" Being praised by Wu Ming, Humbaba happily stroked Wu Ming.
Wu Ming touched Humbaba's head, thinking seriously.
"This is unprecedented, and it looks like it should be protected against that."
Wu Ming's body, soul, and consciousness were all born from the Great Root, and compared to the body, his soul was stronger. Simply put, negative effects on the soul like charms cannot work on him.
But this time Wu Ming almost fell into the enemy's path while sleeping.
More importantly, that dark and motionless space was the interior of the black mud.
For some reason, Wu Ming didn't feel it in the dream at all. It was the black mud of Root like a natural enemy. It could be the enemy's means.
"And that song…" Wu Ming didn't hear it in his dream either. He had heard the song before. It was the song he heard when he traveled to the imaginary space that the world of mirrors traversed in Illya's world.
"This familiar feeling…" Wu Ming fell silent.
For a moment, Wu Ming shook his head.
"In short, the enemy is not a simple alliance of the three goddesses, there is a stronger enemy in the dark."
As long as it was related to the black mud, he couldn't underestimate it, this time Wu Ming was almost caught up in the song.
"Sorry, Humbaba, things have changed again. I will fly back to Uruk. Go back first," said Wu Ming to Humbaba.
"Woo~woo~" Although he was a little reluctant, Humbaba knew that something unusual had just happened, so he nodded.
After that, Humbaba turned into a white spear and fused with Wu Ming's body.
Immediately after, Wu Ming changed his body, and a huge flying dragon soared into the sky and flew towards Uruk.
After Wu Ming left, a sad song sounded in the waters of the Persian Gulf, but the song disappeared instantly like an illusion.
