"Are you willing to become my race's spokesperson in the human world? My race will bestow upon you supreme glory. Eternal glory will illuminate the world and make you an unlucky existence. " The skeleton held the flagpole of the rattan flag in one hand and stood tall on the white sand. Although only a skeleton was left, the spirit that looked down on the heavens made people's hearts tremble. It was as if there were millions of soldiers following behind him. As long as he gave the order, they could flatten the entire world.
As for the skeleton's eyes, there were two blazing white flames flickering in them. They were like two eyes as it stared straight at Zhou Wen, who was standing between Lu Yunxian and Lu Ning.
As the skeleton's voice sounded, Zhou Wen felt a sense of disgust and contempt rise in his body. It was the emotion of the Sigh of the King.
Lu Yunxian and Lu Ning looked at Zhou Wen and the skeleton in bewilderment, unsure of what was going on. With their knowledge, they had no idea that there was such a thing as a representative.
However, they saw a terrifying glow burning on the skeleton's body. It was as though a god had descended into the world. The originally ordinary vine flag also emitted a brilliant glow, especially the flag's surface. It was like a sun that no one could look straight at.
"Young Master Wen, I once heard that the six heroes also obtained the heritage of powerful creatures to become hero-like existences. Could it be that there's a similar opportunity here?" Lu Yunxian said to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen also knew that there was a high chance that this place was like the Holy Temple in the Holy Land. It could pass down the bloodline power of a race. However, the Sigh of the King gave him a bad feeling, so Zhou Wen didn't plan on accepting it.
"What race are you?" Zhou Wen wasn't in a hurry to reject it as he asked the skeleton.
It wasn't easy for him to see the anchor symbol again. Since it was the symbol of a certain race, Zhou Wen wanted to know from the skeleton which race it belonged to.
"Your soul tells me that you aren't willing to be my race's representative in the human world. What a pity … What a pity …" As the skeleton spoke, the glow on its body converged. The glow on the flag also dimmed.
The skeleton slowly sat back on the ground. Just like before, it sat against the vine flag and lowered its head, returning to its lifeless state.
Can you not be so straightforward? At least answer a few of my questions? Zhou Wen felt depressed. The answer was clearly in front of him, but he couldn't unravel the mystery. It made Zhou Wen have the urge to agree to the skeleton and know the answer.
Dang dang dang!
As the skeleton returned to silence, the strange car suddenly started to move again. The puppet pushed the rocker arm, causing the strange car to move again.
The trio hurriedly jumped onto the strange vehicle. They didn't know where they were, so they could only rely on the strange vehicle to find their way.
Lu Yunxian was somewhat worried that the strange vehicle would return to the outside of the ruins. However, the strange vehicle did not retreat and continued driving deep into the desert.
The desert wasn't as big as they imagined. In less than half an hour, they had already driven out of the desert and entered the rolling mountains.
The underground mountain peaks were not considered high. The highest one was only a few hundred meters tall, almost reaching the sapphire sky above.
As the strange vehicle entered the mountainous area, the Blood Threadworms reappeared, and there were even more of them than in the tunnel. Everywhere, there were rocks that looked like they were dyed with black blood, but in fact, they were crawling with Blood Threadworms.
After the Blood Threadworms discovered them, they crawled over. However, the puppet didn't even play the stone instrument. The Blood Threadworms didn't dare approach the strange vehicle. All they did was gather on both sides of the strange vehicle, as though they were spectators sending off the convoy. They made way for the strange vehicle to pass.
The mountain terrain became more and more complicated. The strange vehicle even drove into the belly of the mountain. As the terrain changed, Zhou Wen felt that the strange vehicle was still heading down.
"I seem to have some impression of this place. It seems like we've been here before, but we were walking on the cliff and didn't pay much attention to the situation below. I'm not sure if it's here," Lu Ning said hesitantly as she looked at the stone walls on both sides and the tide of blood threadworms.
Just as she said that, Lu Ning's eyes suddenly lit up. She pointed ahead and said, "That's right. It's here. This is the fault valley before entering the palace. That stone beam is the path to the stone palace. On the other side of the stone beam is the stone palace."
Zhou Wen and Lu Yunxian looked over and indeed, they saw a stone beam on the cliff in front of them. The stone beam was made of a different kind of stone from the stone wall beside it. It looked grayish-white in color and was very eye-catching. Its shape was also squarish, and it was obvious that it had been carved by someone.
"If this strange vehicle doesn't stop after passing the stone beam, should we alight? We have to make a choice now, "Lu Yunxian said to Zhou Wen and Lu Ning.
"If we alight from here, we can directly enter the palace and find the fault where Adjutant An fell." Lu Ning clearly agreed to alight.
Lu Yunxian looked at Zhou Wen again. Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said, "Finding An Sheng is more important. Let's alight here."
Since their original goal was the fault in the palace, they could directly reach it from here. There was no need for them to continue taking the vehicle.
Seeing that the two of them had agreed to alight, Lu Yunxian nodded slightly. When they arrived at the stone beam, they used flames to open a path and burned the Blood Threadworms on the nearby mountain wall. Then, the three of them stepped on the mountain wall and quickly reached the stone beam.
Indeed, there was a stone hall built against the mountain opposite them. It was as though half a palace was growing on the mountain wall. At a glance, Zhou Wen saw the highest point of the palace. On top of a stone roof, there was a stone anchor carving. On the front of the anchor was a woman's side profile.
However, the situation in front of him left Zhou Wen with no time to carefully size up the anchor stone carving. This was because in front of the stone hall, Lord Alcohol and more than ten people had summoned all sorts of Companion Beasts and were ready for battle. They seemed to be staring at something inside the palace's door.
As they were motionless and didn't make a sound, Zhou Wen and company didn't discover their existence before they arrived.
After Zhou Wen and company rushed up the stone beam, Lord Alcohol and company immediately looked at Zhou Wen and company. Instantly, the atmosphere turned tense.
"Lord Alcohol, you unscrupulous fellows. You took so many benefits from the Overseer, but not only did you betray him, you even tried to harm Adjutant An. Aren't you being too ruthless?" Lu Ning said coldly as she stared at Lord Alcohol and company.
The moment Lu Ning said that, the expressions of Lord Alcohol and the dozen or so people changed drastically. They opened their mouths as though they were saying something, but Zhou Wen suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. He didn't hear anything. All he saw was Lord Alcohol and company constantly opening their mouths to speak. Their mouths moved the same way, as though they were constantly repeating three words.
"Don't speak!" Zhou Wen read their mouths and connected it to the anxious expressions on Lord Alcohol and company's faces. He immediately had an ominous feeling as he hurriedly tugged at Lu Ning, indicating for her not to speak.
Lu Ning also realized that something was amiss. She had already shut her mouth, but she suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from the palace. It sounded like thunder.
