Huh? Why did it explode?
The Two-Horned Lizard looked at the human standing on its head with some confusion.
Regarding the question from before, this human doesn't know if it can understand it.
After all, even now it's just speculation, and we can't be completely certain.
But how could they ask such a question after knowing where this place might be?
Why did the palace explode?
This is not because you humans are...
Wait a minute, is this human trying to trick me?
The Two-Horned Lizard looked at the human with some suspicion.
In its view, even if the other party did not ask it, it should know some information.
After all, they weren't just recently drawn into this spatial cluster; they had been there for over two months.
In just over two months, unless someone is an idiot, they should have gathered some information by now.
For example, the Lion King attacked their human base in the past; or, for example, some of their humans went to the Mountain of Truth!
Of course, knowing these two pieces of information isn't particularly useful.
After all, neither of these two pieces of information is directly related to this space cluster.
Even so, a normal living being should have a deep impression of these two pieces of information!
After all, both of these pieces of information are extremely important!
Can...
The Two-Horned Lizard looked at the human with some hesitation.
The question the other party just asked made it seem as if they didn't know any humans had gone to the Mountain of Truth.
It wasn't clear whether the other party genuinely didn't know or was feigning ignorance, but...
After a moment's hesitation, the Two-Horned Lizard whispered:
"I heard it's because humans have come to the real world..."
"I know that. I'm asking you, why did the space inside that palace explode?"
The conversation was interrupted.
The Two-Horned Lizard paused, staring at the human for a moment, not quite understanding what was happening.
What's the point of repeating the question... uh, wait...
Somewhat uncertain, the Two-Horned Lizard looked at the human and asked:
"You're not asking why the space of that palace exploded, but rather why the space of that palace exploded in the first place?"
After saying that, it felt a little dizzy and added:
"Uh, that's not what I meant. I meant you..."
"Alright, I know what you mean, that's what I'm asking about!" the voice interrupted again.
Hearing this, the Two-Horned Lizard breathed a long sigh of relief.
I initially thought the other person was doubting me, so they asked a question with an answer I already knew the answer to, to see if I would answer honestly. Did they actually mean something else entirely?
Why did the space within that palace explode?
They look the same, but there are actually some differences.
The former is asking why this happened, while the latter is asking why this happened in the first place.
Hmm, that might still be a bit confusing.
Simply put, when Stone falls into water, it splashes. The other person isn't asking who threw the Stone, but rather why the water splashed.
This makes it much easier to understand, but...
"... I have no idea!"
The Two-Horned Lizard shook its head, somewhat bewildered.
It truly didn't know, it didn't even know what the Stone that splashed the water was.
It was able to guess that this was likely the interior space of that palace because it had been there once before entering the temple, and because it had heard from the Calamity Beast below that humans had been to the Mountain of Truth before entering!
As for how those humans destroyed the temple, and why the temple exploded, it had no idea.
This question is really beyond the scope of his/her knowledge!
Fortunately, the human didn't dwell on the question, but instead continued to ask:
"In that case, do you know what that palace was used for?"
"Uh, I can't really say, but I don't even know for sure whether the temple is where the World Tree sapling is kept..."
The Two-Horned Lizard thought for a moment, then shook its head again.
"I don't know either."
Seedlings? I heard that from the Bronze Skull Beast before, there wasn't such a suffix... Shen Heng looked calmly at the Two-Horned Lizard.
The Two-Horned Lizard is only at Fifth Tier, and it wasn't seen on the Mountain of Truth.
In this situation, the information it possesses is likely less than that of the Bronze Skull Beast.
In this case, the suffix of the seedling...
Either the Two-Horned Lizard was wrong, or did the Bronze Skull Beast itself omit it?
Shen Heng thought about it for a moment, but didn't pay too much attention to it. He simply silently memorized the information.
Then he asked again.
A moment later, a huge figure flew towards the direction from which the man and the beast had come.
The Two-Horned Lizard glanced cautiously at the figure sitting on its head, and a Xiaoxiao of pride welled up inside it.
"Ha, mere humans, they're easy to deal with!"
It had just provided several fake messages, but the other party didn't notice and the questioning proceeded smoothly.
"Hmm... but we still need to be careful. Even if we provide false information later, we'd better come up with a reason to be discovered!"
"Just like when I first said that the one guarding Mountain of Truth was Lord Dragon Beast, if the other party knew that it was Lord Lion King guarding there, then I could say that the reason had changed, and that it used to be Lord Dragon Beast!"
"The other party certainly couldn't possibly know that much about this; we can only trust ourselves!"
"That's right, exactly!"
"Next, we need to figure out a way to escape from their clutches!"
Thinking of this, the Two-Horned Lizard couldn't help but glance cautiously at the human sitting on its head.
"Hmm, with this level of human intelligence, it should be fine!"
Thinking of this, the Two-Horned Lizard felt even happier, and even the pain from the wounds on its body that had just appeared due to the battle was relieved a lot!
Above, Shen Heng glanced at the somewhat happy Two-Horned Lizard, then calmly shifted his gaze away.
Soon, the man and the beast returned to the camp where the Calamity Beast had gathered.
Qin Yu, who had been slightly tense upon seeing the Two-Horned Lizard, relaxed when she looked at the figure sitting on the Two-Horned Lizard's head.
However, she still approached with some doubt.
"Captain, what's this?"
"Don't kill it for now. Let it stay by your side. That way, if we encounter any problems later, we can ask it on the spot," Shen Heng replied.
This was indeed his primary purpose in keeping the Two-Horned Lizard.
Important information can be obtained by asking questions or by having the other party tell you.
However, some seemingly unimportant information cannot be obtained simply by asking!
Just like when intelligence agents are tracking and recording someone's personal information.
It doesn't just record important events, but also everything from what time you leave home, where you go, what kind of car you drive, what the license plate number is, and how long it usually takes to get there.
These things may seem useless at first glance, but who knows, they might come in handy at some point?
Shen Heng didn't expect the Two-Horned Lizard to play any crucial role, but if it could provide even a little help, that would be great.
