Just then, the system suddenly appeared. Since it could only be seen by itself, the voice was only displayed in a private chat box, which made their communication much smoother.
"Host, can you sense it? The other half of the beast's soul is in Medicine Ghost Valley. Moreover, I can clearly feel its fluctuations while I'm here, and it's very likely that it's right next to us, but it hasn't been detected yet."
The system couldn't help but look at the compiled data in its palm, as well as the general outline of the investigation it had just gathered.
I really don't understand why this person would suddenly appear here; it doesn't feel quite right.
"I thought you did nothing but eat, drink, and have fun all day long! That's why I didn't plan to tell you about this when I first came here. I didn't expect you to have investigated it for me behind my back. I'm really impressed."
As Xie Zhou spoke, he began to have a flirtatious thought, feeling that the system had been too relaxed these past two days and that he should put some pressure on it.
Otherwise, if you have to do everything yourself, you'll be too late.
"Host, what are you saying? I'm so obedient and compliant, where else can you find a system that suits you so well? You're always getting the benefits and then acting innocent. If those people outside knew, they'd be so envious of you."
That's true. Other people probably don't find systems as obedient and sensible as this one; they're as rebellious as children every day.
Xie Zhou twitched his eyebrows slightly in exasperation; perhaps this was the only advantage his system possessed.
Although he wasn't as rebellious as some others, he was still not very obedient and could occasionally throw a childish tantrum.
"Alright, enough about that. Have you investigated where the Beast Soul is? I've been searching around here for over a year, but I haven't seen any unusual magical beasts."
She now seriously doubts that the information she received is correct, and that the beast soul is not here at all.
But a moment later, I felt something was wrong. Everything was too natural and smooth, as if it had been orchestrated again.
"Don't worry, host. I investigated for you before I came out. The beast soul must be in Medicine Ghost Valley, but you can only find out its exact location after you defeat the true ruler of the Forgotten Spirit Palace."
Xie Zhou couldn't help but frown, his handsome face now showing some concern. "Why must we defeat that ruler to find the beast soul? Can't we find it if we just search peacefully?"
The system shook its head, its expression also quite complicated. "The beast souls have always obeyed the orders of the Forgotten Spirit Palace, so now as long as the true ruler stays here or anywhere, the magical beasts dare not appear."
Xie Zhou snorted coldly, not caring at all. Since the other party was unwilling to come out, he would go find them himself. As for what to do when he found them, that was up to him.
"But why is the ruler so leisurely? He's willing to go to such lengths to come all this way for a mere magical beast, and besides, I've searched all around here and I really don't seem to have seen it..."
Before she could finish speaking, she realized that the only person who hadn't shown up as planned since she arrived was Song Wu.
Could it be that this guy really has ulterior motives for showing up here?
It's true that I never believed this guy from the beginning, so it's perfectly normal to have doubts now.
The system understood that its host knew its meaning, so it said no more and quietly withdrew.
Xie Zhou's gaze shifted downwards, scrutinizing the boy once more. Although Song Wu didn't seem to have changed much from before, the suspicion in his heart grew stronger.
After all, who would suddenly appear here without any purpose and be willing to do such a dangerous thing with me? No one would believe there was no reason.
She couldn't help but squint, reconsidering the distance between them, and felt a sense of unease.
If this guy really is the ruler of the Forgotten Spirit Palace, then I'm practically walking into the lion's den right now.
Waiting for the other person to get tired of playing with you and pretend to be bored, they might turn around at any time, grab you, and swallow you whole.
But all of this, in the end, is just speculation. No one knows the truth. The only thing to do is maintain a certain distance from this person and see how things unfold. If it's really as you imagine, you should make a decision as soon as possible.
After all, having such a dangerous person constantly around you would make anyone feel uncomfortable.
Although Xie Zhou did not say it outright, he still secretly tested him and found nothing unusual.
Everything was just like before, and everyone seemed to be their most authentic selves.
All I can do is continue on with this doubt in mind; who knows what will happen next?
As the two continued their journey, they were suddenly attacked by a local thug. Song Wu immediately drew his sword and stepped forward to subdue it.
"You know what, it's quite rare to catch such an impervious local snake in a place like this." Song Wu reached out and grabbed the unconscious snake's head, lifting it in front of him to examine it carefully.
His face was beaming with joy, which he couldn't contain, just like a child who had received a fun toy.
Xie Zhou couldn't help but frown as he continued deeper into the valley. The local bully was just an appetizer; he believed there were definitely other things inside Medicine Ghost Valley that they didn't know about.
Although we weren't fully prepared, at least going in together as a couple shouldn't lead to getting too deeply involved.
Furthermore, they had already informed the elders of their whereabouts before they came, and that if they did not return for an extended period of time, they would immediately send people to search for them.
Having made up his mind and with two plans in mind, Xie Zhou slowly followed the people around him inside.
But not long after, they discovered a huge cave not far away. "Song Wu, look what that is?"
The other party stuffed the local thug into the treasure pouch, looked in the direction the finger was pointing, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"How could there be such a huge cave here? It's truly unbelievable."
After saying that, he walked forward on his own. Before he could react, he was immediately sucked into the cave by the power inside.
Xie Zhou realized something was wrong and rushed forward to grab his arm, but he didn't expect the force to be so great that he fell straight into the pit.
Helpless, he stood at the cave entrance, looking around to see if there was any place where he could settle down.
He sighed helplessly, his hands clasped in front of his chest as he pondered...
