Earning...extra money?
Su Luo never expected this explanation.
So, she seems easy to bully now, like a pushover?
The long silence was an endless torment for the waiter. Not knowing whether he would die at any moment, he was constantly on edge, not daring to look up, for fear that if he did, he would see the last thing he would ever see.
After resting his chin on his hand and pondering for a moment, Su Luo gazed at the three-star monster that was diligently cleaning its own dead skin and slowly asked, "What did your relative say?"
"Huh? Ah!"
The waiter was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled, and exclaimed in surprise, "I don't quite understand what she said."
Noticing Su Luo's expression harden, the waiter immediately changed his tune, "No, what I meant was that she also taught me a few things back then. The gist of it was that there were natives active deep within the forbidden area, and they were guarding something."
These words were practically meaningless. Thinking this, Su Luo cautiously raised her hand, preparing to rewind this time and erase their conversation. However, the waiter probably misunderstood and subconsciously took a half step back, saying, "Wait, wait a minute!"
"I know a mysterious person—no, I should say a human—who knows information about the depths of the forbidden area!"
Strange? Human?
Besides her and Yang Zijin, are there other people in this forbidden area?
Why should I believe you?
Upon hearing Su Luo's words, the waiter quickly explained, "Do you know about the immortals in the forbidden area?"
An immortal?
A new term; I've never heard of it before.
"Tell me." Su Luo casually withdrew his hand, and a subtle pressure from a nine-star upper domain began to spread throughout the room. "You should know the consequences of lying to me."
This, this oppressive aura...
The waiter was sweating profusely. His three-star strength was simply not enough to withstand the pressure of the domain of a nine-star. He instantly knelt on the ground, panting in pain.
Fortunately, the oppressive aura came and went quickly. Su Luo stepped out and slowly walked onto the soft carpet, arriving at the reception room in the front hall of the room. She poured herself a cup of local specialty black tea and gestured for the other party to continue.
The waiter, who had just been warned and frightened, took a few minutes to recover before carefully bowing his head and approaching Su Luo, speaking very respectfully.
"These immortals are actually people who entered the forbidden area before and never came out again for various reasons, or they are ghosts!"
"They remained in the forbidden area, existing alongside it. Their appearances have hardly faded. No one knows which batch they entered, how long they stayed in the forbidden area, or their origins. They seem to have vanished from the outside of the forbidden area."
"However, one thing is certain."
"These immortals have all entered the depths of the forbidden area."
Does such a thing even exist?
Su Luo raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, seemingly considering the veracity of the waiter's words.
Have any immortals ever ventured into the depths of the forbidden land?
That's interesting.
Even though it was just a lie concocted by this little monster, Su Luo became interested in it and wanted to find out more.
Do you know...where they are?
"Yes, I know." The little monster nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, its movements so wide that it seemed as if it was afraid Su Luo hadn't seen it.
Seeing this, Su Luo slightly raised her hand, and a black outfit appeared on her body. She pushed open the window and then looked at the little monster that was acting as a waiter.
"lead the way."
...
This sacred forbidden area is indeed quite different from the area outside. If the outside [Abyss] is only filled with stars, then the sky inside this forbidden area has both day and night, and you can truly feel the days passing by.
Under the cover of night, Su Luo, led by Lu Yeping, the innkeeper, arrived at the foot of the city wall outside the post station. He counted the distance, then squatted down, dug a hole in the ground, and with a strong pull, an underground passage with a faint light appeared before Su Luo's eyes.
It looks quite professional, but I wonder if the people inside are genuinely skilled or just pretending.
Thinking of this, Su Luo looked at Kano Hei.
Seeing Su Luo's gaze, Lu Yeping gave a wry smile but had no choice but to walk down first. This was not the post station city; this great monster could take his life at any time!
Watching Kanohei walk down, Su Luo pondered for a moment and followed him down. Until the two figures disappeared, the opened underground door seemed to have a spirit, slowly closing itself little by little.
Contrary to Su Luo's imagination, this underground world was no worse than the surface world. It was probably rebuilt by taking a different route from the city's sewers, so it would neither affect the operation of the post station city nor interfere with the existence of the underground city.
After descending just two flights of stairs, Su Luo's expanded senses detected the presence of other things.
Kanohei seemed to have been here several times before, and walked straight in a certain direction. Su Luo followed closely behind, not worried that Kanohei would take the opportunity to escape. Anyway, with the [Time] Domain in hand, where could Kanohei run to?
If a mere three-star monster were to escape from a dignified nine-star upper realm, wouldn't she lose face?
Along the way, Su Luo saw many strange creatures, and what surprised her even more was that there were also some humans gathered here.
Judging from their lifestyle and aesthetic trends, in the post-apocalyptic world, it would be the style of the 1960s or 70s, completely out of touch with the modern society that Su Luo was familiar with. But they didn't seem to notice, and even looked at Su Luo with curiosity.
It was as if Su Luo was the intruder who had mistakenly entered their world.
Not only that, but the drinks and everyday items—the beer brands, the cigarette manufacturing methods—were all products of that era, like…
It's as if their time has frozen at that moment, forever and ever!
Thinking of this, Su Luo tried to use the [Time] domain to investigate these strange people and creatures, but before she could even begin, a cold and eerie old voice rang out from behind her.
"Young man, I advise you not to do this!"
"If you use the [Time] domain to explore here, be prepared to pay an equal price."
Su Luo twitched slightly, her fingers hovering in mid-air. Finally, she turned back warily, scrutinizing the person in front of her...!
Unlike the other people in this underground city, the woman in front of her was visibly old. Her white hair was braided into a long braid that dragged on the ground. Her face was covered with wrinkles, her skin was loose and dull, and she walked with a limp. She was clearly on the verge of death.
this……
How did she know I had a [Time] domain? She even clearly guessed what she was going to do.
Seeing Su Luo's wary expression, the other party was not surprised. He simply met Su Luo's gaze and looked back at her. Finally, his gaze settled on a black coffin-shaped hairpin in Su Luo's hair. He sighed thoughtfully and then turned to his followers behind him.
"Our guests have arrived for tonight. Please take your leave."
