"We're here, of course, to..."
Before Luo Fentian could finish speaking, Xie Zhou stopped him with a gesture that told him not to speak recklessly.
The fact that this ancient tortoise could appear here suggests it had some confidence, or perhaps it was deliberately placed here. If they were to be exposed first, they might never be able to get out again.
The person who orchestrated all of this wanted this answer: as long as they couldn't get out, no one would compete with the Hall of Forgotten Spirits for the beast souls.
Luo Fentian was still a bit confused, so he pulled Xie Zhou aside and asked in a low voice, "Junior sister, have you figured out some secret?"
Xie Zhou shook his head slightly. Rather than saying he had seen some secret, he felt that everything was just too strange. "I wouldn't call it a secret. I just have a feeling that the magical beasts have lived here for so many years and finally chose to return here. There must be some unknown secret behind it. If we act rashly and expose our identities, not only will we alert them, but if we attract an attack, we might not even be able to get through the door."
The ancient tortoise watched the two of them discussing and was not in a hurry. Instead, it stood aside and observed.
Luo Fentian was somewhat puzzled, "Why is this guy not doing anything else but keeping an eye on us?"
not good!
"The old tortoise has X-ray vision. From now on, don't think about anything."
Left with no other choice, the two men went up to talk to the old tortoise, knowing that lying at this point would not end well for them.
Since the monsters have chosen this place, they are naturally not afraid of being disturbed, and everything that appears here must be handled with extreme caution.
"I've been here for over a thousand years and have seen countless people come and go, but not a single one has been able to get in. You two should leave as soon as possible if you're just passing through!"
After the old tortoise finished speaking, it thought of retreating backward to return to its original form.
But Xie Zhou was even clearer at this moment. Old Gui had just said there would be a test, which meant that from the moment he started, not a single word that guy said could be trusted.
If we try to get them to leave now, but they dare to take a single step outside, the consequences probably won't be good.
Instead of retreating, it's better to strike them head-on and catch them off guard.
After exchanging a glance with Luo Fentian beside her, she felt completely at ease and stepped forward.
"Senior, if we insist on going in, what can we do?"
Old Gui was surprised that they were still willing to venture inside. He turned around again, looking at them with a very lazy expression, as if they were a group of ants.
"Since you've made up your mind, I might as well grant your request. See this wall next to me?"
Everyone's gaze shifted to the wall next to the old tortoise.
Luo Fentian couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Isn't this just an ordinary wall? What's the difference?"
The old tortoise seemed to see through everything; its fierce lips curled upwards in a sarcastic manner.
"If you want to get in, you must find the real switch on the wall, press it, and rescue me. Then you can go in through this path. But let me make it clear beforehand: I've been here for many years, and no one has ever succeeded in this challenge."
And the fate of those people is obvious; none of them were able to leave alive.
Xie Zhou stepped forward, reached out and gently touched the wall, venting his emotions with immense power.
I sometimes feel a strong sense of rejection from my own body, but on the other hand, it also tells me that there is something very strange about this wall.
Luo Fentian stepped forward and began to observe as well, when he suddenly noticed a chain in the corner of the wall. "Junior Sister, look what this is!"
Xie Zhou looked down and saw that the other person was about to reach out and touch it. He quickly stopped him, "Senior brother, don't move. Since it's a test, it can't be that simple. It's impossible for them to put all the clues in front of us."
Moreover, as Lao Gui just mentioned, many people have tried the challenge but failed, which shows that the switch is not in a place that everyone can see.
If it were just this one chain, everyone could easily notice it, so it's clear that this isn't a real switch at all.
If you try to touch or pull them, the old turtle probably won't let them leave easily.
"You say you've stayed here for a thousand years, so how could you not let yourself leave?"
"Being trapped here is truly unavoidable, so we're waiting for someone to rescue us and see if we can get out. Little girl, are you really going to give up?"
"That's ridiculous. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Since the old tortoise said the real answer is on this wall, it means that when Warcraft chose this place, he was confident that no one, including the old tortoise himself, could see it.
Suddenly, it felt like I had found the answer...
When she looked up, she suddenly noticed a red dot on the old tortoise's forehead, and she couldn't help but smile.
With a leap, he landed directly on the old turtle's shell and tapped the red dot. Instantly, the stone door flipped open, and the old turtle slowly emerged, transforming into the appearance of an old man.
"The answer was actually with me. He's really heartless; he's been lying to me for so many years."
After listening, Xie Zhou gently patted the dust off his hands and smiled. "He didn't exactly lie to you. He only said that the answer was on this wall, and that you could leave once you found the switch. But you forgot that you also belong to this wall. If you hadn't moved when we first came in, we wouldn't have noticed anything unusual about this wall."
The old tortoise couldn't help but nod in agreement and offered his praise.
"However, you shouldn't be too excited. The danger inside is only one-thousandth of what it is here. I will take you in later, but if we encounter any danger, I cannot guarantee what will happen."
So the final choice still rests with the two of them. If they go in, there's absolutely no turning back, but if they give up now, they might be able to leave together.
Xie Zhou looked at Luo Fentian beside him with very firm gazes. They believed that no one in the sect would be a coward.
After deciding on the answer, the three of them headed into the cave. Xie Zhou once again experienced what it meant to be in complete darkness. There were no candles; they could only rely on the faint light filtering through the ripples on the water to roughly discern the direction they were going.
Suddenly, for some unknown reason, a huge beam of light flashed in the sky and shone directly on Xie Zhou. Instantly, she felt her eyes burning and were in unbearable pain.
Logically speaking, such unusual light should not appear in a dimly lit cave, so why is this different? The two of them found this very strange.
