"Seven steps. Begin now. You will die if you take another seven steps. If you don't believe me, you can continue walking." The flower's voice sounded again.
Cold sweat instantly trickled down Zhou Wen's forehead. He stood there, unsure if he should continue walking.
Logically speaking, Truth Listener should be able to restrain some evil powers, but there was no invincibility in this world. Zhou Wen still hadn't figured out what kind of evil powers Truth Listener could restrain.
If the flower was just being alarmist, Zhou Wen would naturally be fine if he left. However, what if it was telling the truth? Zhou Wen didn't dare gamble with his life.
However, Zhou Wen wasn't willing to be frightened by the flower. He gritted his teeth and continued retreating. One step, two steps, three steps. As he retreated, he looked at the flower on the mountain wall.
However, the flower didn't make a sound. This made Zhou Wen feel even more uneasy.
Four steps, five steps, six steps. Zhou Wen continued walking, but there was no reaction from the Truth Listener earring. Zhou Wen's heart pounded. Could it really be a trick? Why isn't there any reaction?
That was what he thought, but he didn't dare to take the last step.
That's right. Zhou Wen was indeed afraid of death. Furthermore, there was no need for him to gamble with his life.
"Why aren't you walking? You still have one step left. Continue walking." The flower finally spoke, but its tone was filled with mockery.
"We have no feud. Why are you making things difficult for me? If you lack fertilizer, I'll help you find it. If you lack water, I'll help you water it. What do you think? "Zhou Wen shouted as he stood there and looked at the flower on the mountain wall.
"Who wants you to water and fertilize it?" The flower said coldly, "From now on, I'll ask and you'll answer. If I'm satisfied, I'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead. Even if you die, I'll refine you into lamp oil."
"With my bad temper, I can't stand being threatened. I'll be leaving. What can you do?" Zhou Wen said as he continued walking.
However, just as he raised his foot, he felt his head spin and nearly fell to the ground. Alarmed, he hurriedly stopped and didn't really raise his foot to take the step.
"D * mn it. How did this happen?" Zhou Wen was shocked. He now knew that what Little Blossom had said was most likely true.
"Why aren't you walking? Keep walking. Where's your bad temper?" Little Blossom teased.
Zhou Wen thought to himself, There's no need to fight with a flower and lose my life. Even Truth Listener's Evil Nullification Life Soul is useless. I wonder what the origins of this flower are?
"I see that you're the only flower growing on the cliff, and you don't have a companion. You must be very lonely and sad. I can't bear to see others sad and suffering, so I'll accompany you for a chat. However, since it's a chat, you can't just ask me questions. I have to ask you some questions, don't you think? "Zhou Wen bargained.
Xiao Hua didn't refute him. Instead, he asked, "What's your name?"
Zhou Wen's heart skipped a beat. He remembered that in myths and legends, there was an ability that could imprison a person just by calling their name. He was momentarily unsure if he should answer.
"Why are you so sentimental? Just die," Littleflower said impatiently.
"My name is Zhou Wen. What's your name?" Zhou Wen knew that it was useless even if he used a fake name. This was because a name was just a code name. The name he used represented him regardless of whether it was real or fake. If the other party really had that ability, using a fake name would be equally effective.
"Just call me The Thearch." Xiao Hua paused before continuing, "What are you doing here?"
"Would you believe me if I said I'm here for a tour?" Although Zhou Wen said that, he was cursing inwardly. A flower wants to be called an Thearch? Are you crazy?
However, the flower giggled. "I believe you. Why wouldn't I believe you? Since you're here for a tour, I'll do a good deed and take you on a tour of Chess Mountain. "
Following the flower's voice, cracks appeared on the mountain wall where the flower was rooted. Furthermore, the cracks were gradually expanding, causing Chess Mountain to tremble slightly as though the mountain was about to crack.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I'm afraid of heights and don't like climbing mountains. I'll just watch the river scenery from here." The cold sweat on Zhou Wen's forehead increased.
Only then did the trembling mountain calm down. The flower mocked, "Are you really not going to come in and take a look?"
"There's really no need." Zhou Wen hurriedly waved his hand and changed the topic. "Are there many dimensional creatures in Chess Mountain? Are there any at the Mythical stage? "
"Of course, and there are many. Which one do you want to see? I can get them to come out and meet you," the flower said with a smile.
"There's no need. I'm just asking." Zhou Wen suspected that the flower was bluffing him when he saw how arrogant it was.
It was just a flower, and it grew on a mountain wall that had suffered from all sorts of wind and rain. However, its tone made it seem as though it was the king of Chess Mountain. It made Zhou Wen very suspicious.
"Are there many humans with your strength now?" the flower asked.
"There should be quite a few." Zhou Wen thought for a moment and felt that it wasn't a small number.
In Jing Daoxian's era, the dimensional storms had just descended not long ago. There were very few Epic experts. After decades, Epic experts were no longer as rare as before.
"What's the human population now?" the flower continued asking.
"It shouldn't be ten billion, right?" Zhou Wen answered after some thought. This wasn't a secret, so there was nothing to hide.
"Then, there should be a few hundred million at your level, right?" the flower said after some thought.
"This … I don't think there are that many, right?" Zhou Wen found it difficult to speak when he heard the flower say that. This was because the actual situation was too different from the flower's guess.
Although Zhou Wen didn't know how many Epic experts there were in the Federation, he estimated that it would be difficult for it to reach six digits. It would be pretty good if there were tens of thousands.
"Tens of millions?" the flower guessed again.
"A little less," Zhou Wen had no choice but to say.
"Only a few million? Are humans so weak these days? There are so few people at your level? "The flower said in disbelief.
"More or less. I'm basically considered relatively weak." What else could Zhou Wen say? He couldn't tell the flower that the number it guessed would be reduced by a hundred times, right?
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and asked, "You are very familiar with Chess Mountain, right? Have you seen a pattern here? It's a drawing of a tiny hand. The tiny hand might be holding something. "
Zhou Wen roughly described the tiny palm symbol. Since he couldn't leave now, he might as well take the opportunity to probe for information. Perhaps the flower really knew.
"There's indeed such a pattern. It's at the top of Chess Mountain. I wonder who carved it. I hate it when I see it. Why are you looking for it?" the flower asked.
