Super Brain Telekinesis

Chapter 99: Reading Memories

He planned to use his unique mental perception ability to directly read the memories of the slightly older ape-like creature. This way, he would be able to understand their language and learn more about their specific situation.

However, he could only read memories through mental perception if the other party agreed without resistance. Otherwise, with his current abilities, he couldn't forcibly access anyone's brain memories.

In fact, Wu Hao had known about this mental perception ability for a long time, but he hadn't found a suitable situation to use it. Plus, unless there was a special reason, he wasn't inclined to invade others' memories.

Moreover, he could only use this ability if the other party didn't resist. In the face of the language barrier with these ape-like creatures, Wu Hao naturally thought of this straightforward method.

Since these creatures seemed to be obedient to him, he believed that if he explained the situation, this ape-like creature would not refuse.

Therefore, Wu Hao directly conveyed his intention to access and read the creature's memories, with the goal of understanding its language. As he expected, the ape-like creature did not refuse but instead behaved with great solemnity, as if preparing for some significant ceremony.

In reality, for this ape-like creature, Wu Hao's request was indeed a significant ritual. In its memories, it had experienced similar rituals conducted by its ancestors a long time ago.

Of course, Wu Hao had no knowledge of this, and this memory for the ape-like creature was from a very long time ago. You see, this creature had lived for nearly 300 years.

This means that this hidden paradise within the cave had not been entered by humans for over 300 years. As for whether individuals with extraordinary abilities had entered this place in ancient times, Wu Hao didn't know. However, based on the way this ape-like creature reacted to him flying, it wasn't difficult to speculate that he wasn't the first human to enter this place.

"Very well, since you've agreed, please don't resist. I will proceed to read your memories," Wu Hao nodded and said to the old ape-like creature.

Upon hearing this, the old ape-like creature became even more solemn. Simultaneously, the surrounding creatures began to move away, creating a circular space with a diameter of approximately 10 meters.

Wu Hao, floating in the branches, immediately leaped down to stand in front of the old ape-like creature. Seeing that the old ape-like creature had closed its eyes solemnly, Wu Hao slowly extended his hands and placed them on the creature's head. He activated his mental perception, instantly entering the creature's brain to read its memories.

As Wu Hao continued to read the old ape-like creature's memories, he not only learned about their living conditions in this space and their language but also marveled at the long years this creature had experienced. He couldn't believe that this old ape-like creature had lived for over 300 years. This revelation surprised Wu Hao considerably. Moreover, among this group of ape-like creatures, there were several others that had also lived for over 200 years.

Wu Hao had also learned the reason behind the longevity of these creatures from the memories of the old ape-like creature. It was all due to a spring formed from a stalactite at the central altar of this underground space. This spring periodically produced a special liquid.

This liquid was called "Holy Water" by these ape-like creatures, and the reason they existed in this place was to guard this Holy Water. However, from the memories of the old ape-like creature, it had been over 300 years since anyone came to collect this "Holy Water."

After learning all of this from the old ape-like creature's memories, Wu Hao became highly interested in this so-called Holy Water. Of course, he wouldn't deny his identity in the eyes of the old ape-like creature.

Since there had been no "emissaries" appearing in the memories of this old ape-like creature for nearly 300 years, the possibility of their appearance now was almost zero. After all, over 300 years ago, China was still in the early Qing Dynasty!

As for how many individuals with extraordinary abilities existed in ancient China, Wu Hao didn't know, and he didn't care to investigate. This was modern society, and many ancient esoteric arts and abilities had long been buried in the annals of history. During the old days in China, many ancient traditions and heritages, some of which had been passed down for thousands of years, had been destroyed during the campaigns against the "Four Olds." People back then were essentially brainwashed, and that period of China's history was considered a dark era.

At this moment, after Wu Hao finished reading the memories of the old ape-like creature, he adopted a more solemn demeanor to align with the old creature's perception of him as an emissary. However, his actions were somewhat redundant because he didn't need to prove anything. Firstly, no humans had entered this place for hundreds of years.

Moreover, anyone who entered this place was definitely not an ordinary person. When Wu Hao first entered and the ape-like creatures noticed him, they all appeared on guard. However, as soon as Wu Hao demonstrated his flying ability, their attitudes immediately changed.

"Now, Chief Damm, take me to the altar!" Wu Hao regained his composure and directly addressed the old ape-like creature.

He spoke in human language because the old ape-like creature understood it. Although he had learned the language of these creatures from the old ape-like creature's memories, he found it somewhat strange to imitate their vocalizations. Thus, he chose to communicate in a more conventional language.

Wu Hao had also learned the name of this old ape-like creature from its memories. He also learned that among these creatures, only their leader and a few others had names, while the ordinary members did not.

Regarding their intelligence, although it was relatively high, it still fell short of humans. At most, they possessed the intelligence of a human child of around ten years old.

Among them, the intelligence of this old ape-like creature was undoubtedly the highest, as it had lived the longest and held the position of the tribal leader.

"Great Messenger of the Gods, please follow me." The old ape-like creature, upon hearing Wu Hao's request, immediately bowed respectfully and then walked towards the central location.

Within this space, Wu Hao's mental perception was somewhat limited, so he couldn't instantly grasp everything in the environment. He followed behind the old ape-like creature, slowly making his way towards the central area.
