After thinking for a moment, Shen Qian spoke.
"You?" The woman in red didn't believe it.
"I might not be up to the task, but my teacher is incredibly skilled. Cracking this tomb is a piece of cake for him. He's a King-level expert, and a top-tier one at that. Do you know what a King-level expert means...?"
Shen Qian pulled on the coattails of the powerful boss.
"Kings and nobles".
The woman in red nodded slowly, as if hesitating.
"Even if I don't agree, there's nothing you can do to me. This place can't hold me back. I just don't want to waste time."
He calmly said before sinking.
“...My name is Nailoli.”
The woman in red spoke, "I... am not from your world."
"You come from behind the 'door'?" Shen Qian understood the key point.
"You call that place a 'gate'? We call it a 'divine path'," Nailoli said after a moment of surprise.
"Shinto?" Shen Qian asked curiously.
"The people in our area practice a secret art called witchcraft, and have worshipped a great witch god for generations. It is said that 'the way of the gods' is a trace left behind by this witch god..."
"Does this sorcerer god really exist?"
Yuan You seemed very interested in this topic and took the initiative to interject.
“I… don’t know, but the glory of the sorcerer god has shone on our land for thousands of years, and his legends are everywhere, but indeed no one has ever seen him.”
Nailoli shook her head.
"About thirty years ago, the 'Divine Path' on the Divine Witch Continent reopened after being closed for endless years. The Grand Elder of the Witch God Sect declared that it was a sign of the Witch God's revival and decided to send a Holy Maiden to communicate with the 'Witch God'."
"Let me guess, you're that saintess?" Shen Qian interjected.
"Yes, I was entrusted with the great mission of exploring the 'Path of the Gods' to find the God of Sorcery, and I did succeed. I crossed the 'Path of the Gods' and came to your world."
Nailoli recalled.
"But I didn't see the 'Witch God'. Instead, I was attacked by many people as soon as I appeared. The powerful witch clan members I led were all killed or wounded, and I had to flee... On my escape, I met him."
"It turns out to be a love story. I really didn't expect that."
Shen Qian roughly understood something. He and Yuan You exchanged a glance and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
The love story itself is cliché, which is fine, but it's clear that the male protagonist, Xiao Yuan, is a genuine human, while Na Yiluoli is from another race.
This is rather bizarre.
"Later, he betrayed you?" Yuan You looked at Na Yiluoli's current state and understood what was going on. She frowned and said, "He's the one who locked you up here?"
Nayi Luoli nodded and then shook her head, giving a bitter laugh.
“I fell in love with Xiao Yuan and gave him everything. I betrayed my faith and my race for him…”
"This tomb is a curse from the witch god. I can neither live nor die, and I can't even have memories. I'm trapped here, never to be free!"
"But……"
Nailoli paused abruptly. "I don't care. I really don't care. I just want him to come see me and stay with me forever, like he said."
"Why, why did he never come back...why!"
Nailoli is showing signs of losing control again.
"Wait, send us away before you go crazy. Don't worry, I always keep my word. I'll come back to help you get out of this mess!"
"You all deserve to die! You think I don't know? You took my tears just to save him. He doesn't deserve it. You can all stay here with me... Hahahaha..."
Nailoli's pupils were once again filled with resentment and cruelty. She let out a sharp laugh and suddenly pounced on the two of them.
Shen Qian had no choice but to strike again, "ending" her.
"Before we sink, is it possible for us to get out?"
Yuan You looked around at the darkness with some worry.
"It's alright, Dao Jiu should be here soon."
As Chen Qian spoke, he turned on the locator, and sure enough, a red dot appeared on it, rapidly approaching.
Boom!
Just then, the darkness was broken, and a fierce figure with nine sword lights floating around him rushed in. It was Dao Jiu, who was in a desperate posture.
"You've come at the perfect time." Yuan You's face lit up with joy.
Shen Qian just wanted to roll his eyes.
Damn it, you only showed up after everything was done!
If Shen Qian was truly just an ordinary martial artist, he would probably have died hundreds of times over by now.
This tomb shouldn't be able to stop the mountains and seas, so who knows why Dao Jiu took so long to find it.
Dao Jiu seemed a little embarrassed, and kept scratching his head, "Well... there are too many caves on the grassland, so I could only search for them one by one, which took up a little time."
"It's one thing if you don't understand formations, but what about your mental strength? Even with mental strength, detection shouldn't be this slow, right?" Shen Qian said speechlessly.
"I did use it!" Dao Jiu said, sounding a little aggrieved. "But my mental power can only reach twenty meters. That grassland is too big, and the locator has no signal!"
Twenty meters?
It's better to just look with your eyes!
You fake mountain and sea!
Shen Qian rubbed his temples, not wanting to talk to Dao Jiu anymore lest he catch his brains. Before Na Yiluoli could revive again, he waved his hand and said, "Let's retreat!"
The surrounding darkness and mist were almost impossible to overcome for those below the mountain and sea level, but it posed no challenge for them. Following the path that Dao Jiu had cleared, the three of them returned the way they came and soon saw light coming from the ground.
Emerging from the light, the three of them reappeared on the grassland with the giant eye statue.
