There was no light in the passage, and we could only see by torches.

[No wonder I couldn't scan this place. It turns out this rock wall is full of crystal energy.]

Song Jinqiao looked at the rock walls on both sides and didn't find anything special.

"This underground must be a source of Earth Crystal Stone. If the power of this amount of Earth Crystal Stone were to be harnessed, it would be terrifying." The system sighed.

I don’t know how long I walked before a faint light appeared in front of me.

[I feel a strong energy over there.]

As the system finished speaking, Song Jinqiao felt a barrier passing through her. She looked back and was surprised.

"Is this a barrier formed by the power of Earth Crystal Ore?"

[Yes, the only one who has this ability is that old wizard.]

The old wizard is more powerful than I imagined. If he were outside, he would definitely be a big shot.

When the system sighed, they had already walked out of the tunnel.

This place is very different from the environment where the tribe lives.

Before, the grass was lush and green, and the fallen petals were colorful, but now the place is desolate and miserable.

The surroundings were overgrown with weeds, and the mountains in the distance were pitch black. The cold wind blew across the black soil, making a cool rustling sound that was chilling even in the daytime.

[The old wizard seems a little off.] Because the system has been keeping an eye on the old wizard, it can sense his changing emotions.

It turned into a bird and came to the old wizard, and found that the old wizard had a serious expression.

[Host, something seems amiss here.] The old wizard's expression was somewhat serious.

Hearing the system's words, Song Jinqiao also frowned.

What happened?

Glancing at the other orcs.

No one looked particularly unusual.

She took Mu's hand and walked forward calmly, approaching the old wizard. Seeing her move, the other males followed her to the front.

When Cao Ya saw her coming, he opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Song Jinqiao.

"Grandpa Mu, is there something wrong?" she asked in a low voice.

Grandpa Mu saw her coming and smiled kindly: "I'm fine."

It's "okay", not "nothing".

Song Jinqiao pursed her lips and didn't ask any further.

After walking for several more days, because there was no food in this place and they had to travel day and night, everyone's mood was a little low. Some of the orcs were in a daze, but Grandpa Mu suddenly asked her.

"Did you see anything?"

Song Jinqiao shook his head in confusion.

Even the system can’t detect it, what can she see?

Grandpa Mu sighed, waved his hand, ordered everyone to stop and rest, and pulled Song Jinqiao aside.

"This place wasn't originally like this." Grandpa Mu seemed a little puzzled. "This place used to be the same as the outside world, but I don't know why it became like this."

Song Jinqiao asked, "Do you know when it started to change?"

The old wizard shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It's not easy to seal the entrance here, so I haven't been here for a long time."

Song Jinqiao frowned and asked, "Did you build that passage?"

The old witch nodded and said, "Yes, that passage is for the tribe to escape."

Song Jinqiao asked, "Did you know this would happen?"

"I am a wizard." The old wizard smiled faintly.

"Then why didn't you stop it in time?"

The old wizard sighed and said, "I only vaguely knew that this would happen. I'm not a beast god, so I can't know the exact time. If I knew the time, what difference would it make to me trying to understand the will of God?"
