Chapter 293 Don’t Talk
"Are you willing to be the spokesperson of my tribe in the world? My tribe will grant you supreme glory, eternal shining in the world, and become an unfortunate existence." The skeleton held the flagpole of the vine flag in one hand, standing on the white sand. Although only a skeleton was left, the spirit of contempt for the heavens was shocking, as if there were millions of soldiers following behind him, and as long as he gave an order, he could flatten the whole world.
There were two balls of bright white flames flickering in the skeleton's eyes, like two eyes, staring straight at Zhou Wen who was standing between Lu Yunxian and Lu Ning.
As the skeleton's voice rang out, Zhou Wen felt a surge of disgust and contempt rising within his body, which was exactly the same emotion as the King's Sigh.
Lu Yunxian and Lu Ning looked at Zhou Wen and the skeleton in surprise and doubt, not knowing what was going on. Based on their knowledge, they had no idea there was such a thing as a spokesperson.
However, they saw a terrifying light burning on the skeleton, as if a god had descended to the earth. The originally ordinary vine flag was also shining brightly, especially the flag surface, which was like a sun that made it impossible to look directly at it.
"Master Wen, I once heard that the six heroes were able to become heroes only after inheriting the legacy of powerful creatures. Could it be that there is a similar opportunity here?" Lu Yunxian said to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen knew that this place was most likely like the temple in the holy land, which could inherit the bloodline power of a race. However, the King's Sigh gave him a very bad feeling, so Zhou Wen did not intend to accept it.
"What tribe are you from?" Zhou Wen didn't refuse immediately, but asked the skeleton.
After much difficulty, he finally saw the anchor pattern. Since it was the symbol of a certain race, Zhou Wen really wanted to know from the skeleton which race it belonged to.
"Your soul tells me that you are not willing to be the spokesperson for my people in the world. What a pity... What a pity..." As the skeleton spoke, the light on its body faded, and the light on the flag also dimmed.
The skeleton slowly sat back on the ground, leaning against the vine flag like at the beginning, lowering its head, and returning to its dead state.
"Can you not be so straightforward? At least answer a few questions for me?" Zhou Wen was depressed. The answer was right in front of him, but he couldn't figure it out. Zhou Wen had the urge to agree to the skeleton and then know the answer.
Ding dang dang!
As the skeleton returned to silence, the strange car suddenly started to move again. The puppet pushed the rocker arm, causing the strange car to move slowly again.
Zhou Wen and the other two quickly jumped onto the strange car. They had no idea where they were and could only rely on the strange car to find a way.
Lu Yunxian was a little worried that the strange car would retreat outside the ruins, but the strange car did not retreat and continued to drive deep into the desert.
The desert was not as big as Zhou Wen and the other two had imagined. In less than half an hour, they had driven out of the desert and into the mountains.
The mountains underground are not very high, the highest is only a few hundred meters, almost reaching the sapphire sky above.
As the strange car entered the mountainous area, the filarial worms reappeared, and there were more of them than before in the passage. Everywhere you could see pieces of rocks that looked like they were stained with black blood, but in fact they were crawling with filarial worms.
After the filarial worms discovered them, they all crawled over, but the puppet didn't even play the stone instrument. The filarial worms didn't dare to approach the strange car, but just gathered on both sides of the strange car, like onlookers seeing off a motorcade, and made way for the strange car to pass.
The terrain of the mountain became more and more complex, and the strange car even drove into the belly of the mountain. As the terrain changed, Zhou Wen felt that the strange car was still moving downwards.
"I seem to have some impression of this place. It seems like we have been here before. However, we were walking on the cliff at that time and didn't pay much attention to the situation below. I can't be sure if it is here." Lu Ning looked at the stone walls on both sides and the tide of bloodworms, and said hesitantly.
Just as she finished speaking, Lu Ning's eyes suddenly lit up. She pointed ahead and said, "That's right, it's here. This is the fault rift valley before entering the palace. That stone beam is the road leading to the Stone Palace. The other side of the stone beam is the Stone Palace."
Zhou Wen and Lu Yun looked over first, and found that there was indeed a stone beam across the cliff in front of them. The stone beam was not made of the same stone as the stone wall next to it. It looked grayish-white in color, very eye-catching, and its shape was also square, which showed that it had been carved by humans.
"If this strange car passes the stone beam without stopping, should we get off? We must make a decision now." Lu Yunxian looked at Zhou Wen and Lu Ning and said.
"If you get off here, you can go directly into the palace and find the fault where Adjutant An fell." Lu Ning obviously agreed to get off the car.
Lu Yunxian looked at Zhou Wen again. Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said, "Finding Ansheng is the most important thing. Let's get off here."
Since their original goal was the fault inside the palace, they could reach it directly from here and there was no need to continue taking the car.
Seeing that both agreed to get off the car, Lu Yunxian nodded slightly. When they reached the bottom of the stone beam, he used fire to clear a path and burned the bloodworms on the nearby mountain wall to death. Then the three of them walked straight up the mountain wall and soon climbed onto the stone beam.
As expected, he saw a stone palace built against the mountain opposite, like half a palace growing on the mountain wall. At first glance, Zhou Wen saw the highest point of the palace. On top of a stone roof, there stood a stone anchor sculpture, and on the front of the anchor was a woman's profile carved.
However, the situation before him did not allow Zhou Wen to take a closer look at the stone carving of the anchor, because just in front of the stone palace, Jiu Ye and a dozen other people had summoned various companion pets and were on full alert, seemingly staring at something inside the palace gate.
Because they were lying there motionless without making any noise, Zhou Wen and the others didn't notice their presence until they came up.
After Zhou Wen and his companions rushed onto the stone beam, Jiu Ye and his companions immediately looked at them, and the atmosphere became a little tense for a moment.
"Jiu Ye, you are such heartless guys. You took so many benefits from the governor, but not only did you betray him, you also tried to murder Adjutant An. Aren't you too cruel and ruthless?" Lu Ning stared at Jiu Ye and the others and said coldly.
When Lu Ning said this, the expressions of the dozen or so people led by Jiuye changed drastically, and they opened their mouths as if they were saying something. However, Zhou Wen suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. He didn't hear any sound, but only saw Jiuye and the others opening their mouths and talking continuously, with the same lip shape over and over again, as if they were repeating three words over and over again.
"Don't talk!" Zhou Wen understood the meaning of the lip movements, and considering the anxious expressions on Jiuye and the others' faces, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He quickly pulled Lu Ning and signaled her not to speak.
Lu Ning also realized that something was wrong and had already shut up and stopped talking, but she suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from inside the palace, like thunder.
I have diarrhea and fever, I feel very uncomfortable. I'm going to the hospital. If I feel better, I will come back to write the fifth chapter. If I feel really uncomfortable, I will only update four chapters today.
