The person wore armor carved from white bones and had a skull-like mask on his head. His eyes shimmered with a strange red light as he casually sat on the topaz throne and sized up the people on the long street below.
His gaze didn't look like he was looking at a human, but like he was looking at a pig or dog.
He supported his cheek with one hand and tilted his head as he looked at them. As for the people on the long street below, their faces were pale as their bodies involuntarily trembled, as though something extremely terrifying was about to happen.
"Who is that fellow? Why is he so cocky?" Liu Yun whispered.
The person on the stone steps seemed to hear Liu Yun's words as he glanced at him from afar. Immediately, Liu Yun's scalp tingled as cold sweat broke out on his back.
Thankfully, the person only glanced at him and didn't pay him much attention.
Zhou Wen noticed that there was a bowl made of skulls in front of the person. Unfortunately, he didn't know what was inside the bowl.
Truth Listener's abilities were limited to a portion, so it couldn't reach that far.
Just as Zhou Wen was pondering over it, the person extended a hand and took something out of the bowl, clamping it between his fingers.
Only then did Zhou Wen see that it was a die. There were a total of six of them. Each of them was crystalline like jade, but they looked more like they were carved from the bones of some creature.
The die didn't look too special. Just like an ordinary die, the six faces were engraved with numbers from one to six. They were all red, like the color of blood.
When the person picked up the die, Zhou Wen and Liu Yun were alarmed because the stone slabs beneath their feet lit up.
However, this time, the stone slabs lit up in a very special way. Blood-colored numbers appeared on them.
The number under Zhou Wen's feet was 19, and the number under Liu Yun's feet was 18. They didn't know what this number represented.
However, Zhou Wen soon knew what the numbers meant. This was because the feet of the people in front of them also lit up with blood-colored numbers. Everyone's numbers were different, from 1 to 33. This also meant that there were a total of 33 people on this long street. These numbers were their numbers.
Zhou Wen had already figured out what would happen next.
The high and mighty guy would definitely throw the dice. If the number he threw was the same as the number under someone's feet, then that person would definitely be out of luck.
Just by looking at the reactions of the people in front of him, he knew that they must have experienced the same thing, which was why they were so afraid.
"If the number under our feet is the same as the number he threw, I wonder what will happen?" Liu Qu also noticed the clues, and he gulped as he spoke.
"I don't know, but I'm sure it's nothing good." As Zhou Wen spoke, the man waved his hand and threw the die out.
Zhou Wen originally imagined that he would throw the dice into the bowl, but the outcome surprised them. The person actually threw the dice down.
The six dice landed on the stone steps and rolled down the steps.
The amazing thing was that when the six dice rolled down, they became bigger and bigger. When they landed on the long street, each side was more than a meter long.
The six huge rolling dice rushed into the long street at an extremely fast speed. Wherever they passed, the people in front of them would dodge to the side, not daring to come into contact with the dice. They seemed to be extremely afraid.
"What should we do?" Liu Qu looked at the dice that rolled over. Two of them were huge, and they would likely pass by where they were standing.
If they wanted to dodge, they had to move at least three stone slabs away.
"Let's dodge first." Zhou Wen didn't know what the dice were, but he decided to avoid them for now. He would wait until he got to the front and figure things out.
When the dice rolled over, the two of them chose to dodge. The six dice rolled past them with a rumbling sound, and the number of steps they took was reduced by four.
Clang!
The dice rolled all the way to the door and hit it before rebounding and landing in the empty space inside the door. After spinning for a while, they stopped.
One two, three threes, plus a six and a five, the total number was 22.
Zhou Wen and Liu Qu immediately looked at the person with the red number 22 at his feet on the street in front of them. The person was probably in the middle of the long street. He looked like a very muscular middle-aged man. He was tall and mighty, and his muscles looked like they were made of steel.
Everyone on the long street looked at him, and his face instantly turned pale. He was extremely terrified as he shouted crazily, but unfortunately, his voice couldn't be heard. All he could see was him opening his mouth to shout, but no one knew what he was shouting.
As he shouted, he ran crazily, but no matter which stone slab he ran to, the stone slab would light up with a blood-red 22.
Bam!
Without any warning, the middle-aged man's body exploded like a watermelon, and blood flowed all over the ground.
However, soon, the blood seeped into the cracks of the stone slabs on the ground, leaving not a single drop behind. It was as though the stone slabs could absorb blood.
The man on the throne opened his fingers slightly and the six huge dice flew back into the air. They slowly shrank in midair, and when they returned to his hand, they had returned to their normal size.
With the dice in his hand, the man looked coldly at the people on the long street. The throne slowly descended and finally vanished.
"That bastard, what does he think we are? His toy? "Liu Yun said through gritted teeth.
"From the looks of it, that's right." Zhou Wen stared at the building on the stone steps. There was no longer a throne or man.
After watching for a while, Zhou Wen said, "From the looks of it, that fellow should be the most terrifying dimensional creature in Netherworld City. If we can kill him, perhaps we will have a chance of leaving."
"How do we kill him? The rules of Netherworld City are set by him. We are just chess pieces on a chessboard here. How can we play with the chess player? "Liu Yun said with a bitter expression.
"That depends on whether he abides by the rules. If he abides by the rules, even if he's a chess player, we still have a chance of defeating him," Zhou Wen said.
"What if he doesn't abide by the rules?" Liu Yun asked.
"Then think of another way to not abide by the rules." Zhou Wen looked at the person closest to them. There was still a look of horror on his face. From the looks of it, he had been frightened by the scene just now.
"Let's go. Let's go and ask them what's going on here," Zhou Wen said as he continued walking forward.
They weren't far from the person to begin with. After killing a few Epic dimensional creatures, they finally arrived within ten steps of the person.
