As Su Qing moved slowly through the forest, she remained extremely vigilant and cautious.
“Be careful. Some gods have their own races that worship them. Even if a god dies, those races may not become extinct. More likely, they will continue to worship him in this forbidden land where he died.”
The woman couldn't help but remind her.
"The strength of these races is uncertain. Perhaps after a long period of time, one or even more king-level beings will emerge."
Upon hearing her reminder, Su Qing paused, glanced around, and gave a slight smirk.
"You damned jinx."
Just as the woman reminded him, Su Qing opened his field of vision to observe, and saw that more than a dozen creatures were lying in ambush in the woods on both sides.
Those creatures were all short in stature, wearing round hats of various colors on their heads, with long noses, big eyes, and tear stains at the corners of their eyes, as if they were branded marks.
Its limbs are short but divided into three sections, and it holds strange weapons in its hands.
The weapon is divided into two parts, which are the same size. The front half is a very sharp iron spike, and the back half is a wooden handle.
A dozen or so hats, not many, and his strength is only at the level of Glory and Splendor.
For Su Qing, they were enemies she could defeat with a single slap.
But then she heard the woman's warning from inside the wooden box.
"Do not harm them. They are believers on their journey to the gods, protected by this weeping forest. If you harm them, you will be rejected by the forest, and at that time, I will not be able to resist the surging divine power."
The woman quickly warned him, fearing that the dragon might be impulsive and slap these guys to death, causing her to be caught in the crossfire.
Once the Weeping Forest's self-protection mechanism is triggered, she, as a former deity, will be targeted even more severely.
Su Qing nodded slightly, stomped her claws into the ground, and suddenly launched herself forward at an extreme speed.
"We've been discovered!"
"Kill that giant lizard!"
The little man, wearing all sorts of round hats, saw the dragon running away and knew that the dragon had discovered him. He immediately stopped hiding, picked up his weapon, and ran after it desperately.
After running for a while, the round-hatted people seemed to have discovered something. They covered their faces and screamed, "That guy is going to our forbidden area. Stop that big lizard!"
Someone took out a horn and blew it loudly.
The sound of horns rang out, echoing throughout the entire forest.
In the blink of an eye, countless round hats emerged from all directions and rushed toward this place.
As Su Qing fled, he bumped into some round hats.
"Catch that big lizard!"
A man in a round hat shouted and charged at him with a weapon.
"I don't want to kill you, please don't be ungrateful."
Su Qing snatched a weapon from a round hat and warned him with a stern expression.
"This giant lizard is threatening me!"
The threatened person in the round hat was not afraid; instead, they shouted excitedly.
"Kill him!"
All the round hats were shouting that.
Grabbing their weapons, they charged forward with all their might.
Su Qing's face turned pale with anger. He could only take the beating and couldn't fight back. He had never felt so frustrated in his life.
"Wait until I'm done with my business, then I'll deal with you."
With a flap of its wings, Su Qing propelled the entire dragon into the sky, leaving the forest and flying directly towards the center.
Those round hats possess admirable qualities of perseverance and never giving up.
Watching the dragon fly in the sky, they chased after it desperately on the ground.
"They've run this way!"
Someone shouted, and immediately a group of people wearing round hats ran in that direction.
"They ran over there!"
Someone shouted again, and immediately the people in round hats ran in this direction again!
Su Qing looked down from the sky, her pupils trembling.
"Damn, so many."
Looking around, clusters of round hats roamed about in the forest; a simple count revealed tens of thousands of them.
Moreover, judging from their strength, none of them are weak.
Most of them are at the Glory level, and quite a few are at the Splendor level.
However, there were no experts at the title level.
Their overall strength is not weak, but their potential is probably relatively low.
They appear to be closely related to the dwarves, but their unique hats and long noses clearly distinguish them from the dwarves.
Are they a religious community protected by the god of weeping and sorrow?
As Su Qing was thinking, she was suddenly reminded by the wooden box in her hand, and only then did she realize what was happening.
He was traveling at full speed and had already appeared in the center of the forest.
Strangely enough, the center of the forest was a canyon, completely barren, without a single tree or even any plants.
It is entirely formed from black rocks and some grayish-brown soil, giving it an overall dark feel and an ominous atmosphere.
This is the heart of the Weeping Forest, which is supposedly the place where the god of weeping and sorrow died.
But surprisingly, it didn't have much of that divine power; to Su Qing, it felt rather ordinary.
It looks like an ordinary canyon.
It landed slowly, stepping onto this land.
Su Qing moved forward step by step, recognizing the obvious landmarks marked on the map.
He soon discovered several red stones embedded in the ground, covered by some grayish-brown soil, which would be difficult to spot without careful searching.
This is one of the landmarks marked on the map, and also a fundamental component of the formation.
Soon, he discovered a black plant with two black flowers growing on it.
A small puddle flowing with white liquid, and a rock carved with strange and complex runes.
Soon, having gathered everything, Su Qing excitedly rubbed her hands together.
"The moment of witnessing a miracle is about to begin."
Hearing him say that, the woman beside him poured cold water on his enthusiasm with a sarcastic remark: "Don't mess things up later. You can't outsmart the god of greed."
Su Qing ignored her and began chanting an obscure incantation.
"A symbol of extreme darkness and insatiable greed... Please heed my call, and let your great gaze have mercy on this land..."
They really know how to put on an act!
While inwardly complaining, Su Qing devoutly performed the ritual.
Gradually, darkness spread beneath my feet, and the land seemed to turn into water, rippling across the surface.
A sculpture of a man draped in a black robe rises from the darkness, with a massive portal at his feet.
The secret, intricate incantations carved on the portal seemed to be sealing away some terrifying being.
There is a pattern in the seam between the two doors.
The pattern was separated by the door seam, but when put together, it forms a red eye.
The pupils of the eyes seemed to be able to move, which was terrifying and horrifying.
A cheerful voice came from behind the door.
"You've finally arrived!"
Su Qing could recognize the voice; it came from the God of Greed.
It seems the formation worked!
