“We’re not lying to you. We’ve never said we were here to cross Blackrock Valley. Besides, we’ve given you so much, how could it be just to cross Blackrock Valley?”
The young man, unconcerned that the guide was yelling at him, chuckled and calmly explained to the guide.
"I'm not making this money. You can find it yourselves!"
After the guide finished speaking, he turned and headed towards the entrance.
Seeing this, Gu Nanxun grabbed the guide's arm and said, "You just need to take us to the place where people go missing."
"No, we can't go to that place. They eat people there."
Upon hearing this, the guide hurriedly shook his head, shaking it like a rattle drum.
"You just need to take us to that place; you don't need to go there yourself."
Gu Nanxun continued.
"No...no...we can't go there, people will die if we go."
After the guide finished speaking, he turned and ran towards the entrance.
"Bang……"
The bullet whizzed past the guide and struck a tree in front of him. Upon seeing this, the guide immediately stopped running and turned around, his body trembling.
"Bang……"
The guide knelt down and cried out, "Young masters, please spare me! That place is absolutely forbidden! It's a place that eats people! I have elderly parents and young children to support; I can't let myself die there!"
The guide knelt on the ground and kept crying out his grievances.
Gu Nanxun stepped forward, helped the guide up from the ground, and then asked, "What do you mean by saying that place eats people?"
Gu Nanxun's voice was calm and firm, his gaze fixed on the guide, as if trying to find the answer in his eyes.
The guide's body was still trembling slightly, his eyes filled with fear, as if he had witnessed some indescribable horror. He swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice, "That place is the deepest part of Blackrock Valley, a place known as the 'Mouth of Devouring.' It is said that there is a bottomless black hole there, and anything that approaches it will be swallowed up, without even a sound."
Lin Qing frowned. She had never heard of this legend before, but could such a thing really exist in this world? "Does a black hole really exist? Has anyone seen one with their own eyes?"
The guide nodded, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes: "Yes, some people have seen it. After they came back, they changed completely, becoming insane, constantly muttering 'the Maw of Devourers,' and died not long after."
Gu Nanxun was silent for a moment, then said, "We need to go there; it's our only clue. You just need to take us there, and we'll handle the rest ourselves."
Seeing the determination in Gu Nanxun's eyes, the guide knew he couldn't change their minds. He sighed and said, "Alright, I'll take you. But I'll only take you to the vicinity; I won't go near the cave entrance."
Gu Nanxun nodded: "Don't worry, you just need to take us to the vicinity. We will still pay you the promised reward."
The guide breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and nodded: "Then let's go. I'll only take you to the vicinity. You must be careful, and if you sense anything is wrong, leave immediately."
Then the guide led Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun through dense forests and across streams, finally arriving at a huge cave.
The guide stopped 20 meters away from the cave entrance. He pointed to the entrance ahead and said to Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing, "This is it." The guide's voice was low and trembling. "This is the entrance to the 'Mouth of Devouring'."
Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing exchanged a glance and looked ahead together. The entrance to the cave was covered by vines and weeds, and they would hardly have been able to find it without the guide's guidance.
But Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun knew that their elder brother must have disappeared here, and there must be some unknown secret hidden here. They just didn't know what kind of danger lay ahead.
No matter how dangerous it may be, they have to take the plunge. However, they have a spatial dimension, so they are not afraid even if they encounter danger.
Inside the space, Zhao Jinxiang looked at the scene outside and asked Gu Nianqing with a worried expression, "Aren't you worried about your parents?"
