Qin Ze frowned.
He first heard about the God of the Underworld of the Xiezhi General in the Hunt Otherworld.
The Xiezhi General claimed to be a general under the command of the God of the Underworld.
Judging from the identity of the Xiezhi General mythical beast, the God of the Underworld is also from the same faction of Beast God.
" God of the Underworld still alive?"
Qin Ze was incredulous.
The earliest batch of ancient gods who experienced the "Great Battle of the Abyss " should have returned to dust.
Stone scoffed, "How novel! When did the God of the Underworld die?"
Qin Ze asked in a deep voice, "Besides the God of the Underworld, what other gods have you seen in this world?"
"Besides..."
Click--
Stone had barely uttered two words when a tiny crack appeared on the top of his head.
It's gone!
" The God of the Underworld on Underworld Mountain!"
Stone quickly changed his tune.
The crack on its head gradually healed, but at an extremely slow pace.
Qin Ze's expression was solemn.
Is it the rules of the ancient gods that prevent the stone from speaking?
The cracks are just a warning.
If the stone continues talking, it might just crack open.
But why is it okay to mention the God of the Underworld?
So you just pick the softest persimmons?
Qin Ze then asked Shi Tou a few more questions about the God of the Underworld.
Stone remained silent, feigning silence.
Even when Qin Ze threatened it with the bone sword, it remained silent.
It vividly illustrates what it means to be a rock in a latrine—stinky and hard.
"Fine, Don't Ask you about God anymore."
Qin Ze rested the bone sword on his shoulder.
Shi Tou visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Ze picked up the photo. "Let's continue with the photo. Where did those two people go?"
Stone replied, "They sat on me to rest, and then encountered a group of wandering Wandering Corpse."
"They retreated towards Underworld Mountain while battling the attacks of the Wandering Corpse."
"That thing you're holding is what they accidentally dropped during the fight."
"The one with the long hair was about to pick it up, but the one with the short hair pulled him away."
Qin Ze pressed further, "What is Wandering Corpse?"
Stone racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution.
" Wandering Corpse is Wandering Corpse. How can I explain it to you? In short, it's Wandering Corpse."
Hearing your words is like hearing a lecture.
Qin Ze suppressed the urge to split the rock in two, "About how long ago was that?"
Stone thought for a moment, "A long, long time ago."
Qin Ze twitched the corner of his mouth.
Come to think of it, it's just a rock, and there's no distinction between Dark Night here, so it couldn't possibly have a concept of time.
Qin Ze asked a moment later, "Did you see them again after that?"
Stone said, "No, I already said, Underworld Mountain is very dangerous. How could anyone who goes to Underworld Mountain possibly come back?"
In an instant, Qin Ze's heart sank to the bottom.
Brother Devour said, "Just because we didn't see the stone doesn't mean Mom and Dad didn't come out."
" The Otherworld No. Zero is so vast, they might have exited from somewhere else, but simply didn't return the way they came; they just passed by the rocks."
Qin Ze also hoped for the same.
He gazed at the faintly visible Underworld Mountain, a huge question mark rising in his mind.
Why did Mom and Dad climb Underworld Mountain?
Knowing full well there are tigers in the mountains, yet still venturing into the tiger's den.
Qin Ze didn't believe they were unaware of the dangers of Underworld Mountain.
After all, it was the heart of the Otherworld No. Zero; they must have done their homework beforehand.
Seeing Qin Ze's increasingly grim expression, Shi Tou was afraid that the guy might chop him up if he was in a bad mood.
"I'm telling the truth!"
"Not a single word is false!"
Qin Ze snapped out of his daze and sneered, "How can you prove that what you're saying is the truth?"
"After all, it's just your word; there's no one else to corroborate it."
"Sorry, you don't even have a mouth."
The stone dared not speak out in its anger.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the Sword Case."
" The Sword Case doesn't lie."
"That guy can testify that everything I just said was absolutely true."
Qin Ze looked surprised upon hearing this.
Besides the stones, Sword Case in this world also come to life?
The things here are even more outrageous than the magical creatures of the Land of Origin.
Where is the Sword Case?
Stone answered honestly, "Keep walking forward, and you'll see a dilapidated temple in about two hundred steps. The Sword Case is inside."
Two hundred steps, it only takes a few seconds, there's plenty of time.
Qin Ze tapped the stone's forehead with the edge of his sword. "You better not be lying to me, or I'll come back and chop you in half."
Stone jumped in surprise. "Absolutely not!"
Qin Ze sheathed his bone sword and vanished into the vast gray mist in an instant using the Vermilion Bird Step.
After Qin Ze completely disappeared, Stone muttered under his breath, "Damn Sword Case, I've said everything I needed to say. The rest has nothing to do with me."
Immediately, it lifted up slightly, as if gazing up at the overcast sky.
"The weather is so nice today!"
The stone shook happily.
On the other side, following the direction indicated by the stone, Qin Ze quickly found the dilapidated temple.
The temple is not very big, and due to years of neglect, the whole temple looks dilapidated.
There was no plaque on the door, so it was unknown which deity was enshrined inside.
Just as Qin Ze was about to step inside, the Mist Lord suddenly spoke up, "The fact that the stones can talk is already very strange; be careful, there might be a trap."
Qin Ze paused, then said, "That makes sense."
In his eagerness to save his mother, he overlooked many details.
Then, Qin Ze released Brother Devour.
The Brother Devour has high physical and magical resistance.
Even if there's an ambush inside, even if he's targeted by concentrated fire, Brother Devour won't die anytime soon.
Brother Devour into the dilapidated temple like an arrow released from a bow.
A moment later, Brother Devour's voice rang out on the Local Area Network.
"There was nothing there except a Sword Case."
Only after receiving a reply from Brother Devour did Qin Ze feel relieved enough to go inside.
The temple was dimly lit, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Colorful rags hung down from above, and occasionally a gentle breeze would blow in, causing the strips of cloth to sway softly.
It looks exactly like a dilapidated temple that ancient Scholar would pass by on their way to the capital for the imperial examinations.
All that's missing is Nie Xiaoqian.
An incense table was placed in the center of the temple.
There were neither statues of gods nor memorial tablets on the altar; instead, there was a black Sword Case.
The Sword Case is nearly two meters long and less than half a meter wide.
A translucent red jewel is inlaid in the lower part of the piece.
A dragon and a phoenix surround the jewel.
The dragon and phoenix carvings are so lifelike, they seem to be chasing a precious pearl.
Qin Ze said curiously, "Interesting. There's Sword Case on the incense table. I wonder which deity is being worshipped there."
"It's God of the Underworld."
The Sword Case suddenly emitted a sound, a pleasant female voice.
Brother Devour took a step forward, shielding Qin Ze to his side.
Miss Sword Case spoke again, "I mean no harm, and I am just a Sword Case, posing no threat to you."
Qin Ze looked the Sword Case up and down.
There was no trace of Corruption emanating from it.
Same as the previous stones.
Qin Ze asked in a deep voice, "I heard you can't lie?"
Miss Sword Case replied firmly, "Yes, I never lie. You can ask me any questions."
