Chapter 174
Although it was good that the city lord listened to his advice, her behavior of believing whatever he said still forced Cheng Hui to label her as "unreliable".
Cheng Hui: ...I know this is contradictory, but... forget it, just don’t touch it.
City Lord Hua squatted in front of the pillar and looked at it carefully. The pillar gave her a very strange feeling, but she couldn't see anything with her eyes alone.
He touched his chin and looked at Cheng Hui beside him: "What do you think this is?"
Cheng Hui shook his head. He really didn't know what it was. He only knew that this thing was definitely not ordinary, and there was a high probability that it was related to that god.
City Lord Hua didn't seem to expect to get an answer from him, she just asked, but soon, she found some clues that were enough to attract her attention.
"What's this?"
She seemed to have discovered something, and after muttering something, she immediately bent down and stared at the bottom of the jade pillar.
Cheng Hui watched from the side for a few moments, but didn't see anything special. Then he saw City Lord Hua suddenly stand up, stroke his chin, and say with a smile, "Interesting."
City Lord Hua turned around and shouted to those people, saying that she would not explore the temple anymore, but would stay here to study the pillar.
The big man wanted to say something more to persuade him, but was pulled hard by the person next to him.
Among these people, City Lord Hua is undoubtedly the strongest one. With her around, the best things found will definitely belong to her, but if she does not participate in the distribution, there will be much more room for maneuver.
Dahan has a good relationship with City Lord Hua, but at a time like this, he has to at least consider the forces behind him.
Soon, those people reached an agreement and began to study how to open the temple door.
No one knew what method they used, but the door of the temple was suddenly opened. The crowd cheered and then rushed into the temple.
Seeing that they had all left, City Lord Hua turned his attention back, stared at the ground under the jade pillar, and stomped his foot down hard.
There was a dull thud, and instead of looking disappointed, City Lord Hua showed an even happier expression.
She murmured, "There really is something!"
Cheng Hui:?
No, what? What on earth did you see?
Cheng Hui was completely confused. He also heard the noise just now, but it didn't seem like there was an underground space. Why did City Lord Hua look like he had discovered something?
Did he overlook something?
He looked at Lin Qingyang, who looked up and shook his head at him.
Obviously, Lin Qingyang didn't find anything either.
The corner of Cheng Hui's mouth twitched. They were both Golden Cores, but he was only at the initial stage of Golden Core while others were already half a step away from Nascent Soul. Why was the gap so huge?
"Hehe, I didn't expect that this thing can still be used after so long." City Lord Hua rummaged through his pocket and took out a shuttle-shaped magic weapon.
Cheng Hui was stunned when he looked at the magic weapon. This thing...why does it look familiar?
He moved his fingers uncomfortably. If he remembered correctly, he also had a similar magical weapon in his storage ring.
It cannot be said to be exactly the same, it can only be said to be completely consistent.
He still remembered that Uncle Gui had said at the time that he had invented that magic weapon for the purpose of digging a relatively safe basement in a dangerous place.
Generally speaking, if there are no house-type magical tools in the wild, digging a basement is the safest method.
Although Cheng Hui could achieve the same effect by using brute force, he was an expert in his own field. At most, he could dig a hole in the ground, but this shuttle-shaped magic weapon could dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment underground, which was quite convenient.
But why does the City Lord have such a magical weapon? Is there any connection between the City Lord and Uncle Ghost?
Cheng Hui temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart. Through chatting with Uncle Gui, he knew that Uncle Gui was not a good person in the past. He had friends, but obviously not as many as enemies.
Before asking Uncle Gui, he didn't want to expose the relationship between the two. If he was lucky enough to meet a friend, it would be fine, but if he was unlucky enough to meet an enemy, Uncle Gui's life would be in danger, and he would also be implicated.
He silently pulled his sleeves, trying to cover the soul-nourishing wood pattern on his wrist.
Fortunately, this thing is not very conspicuous at ordinary times, and there is almost no light here, so it is not difficult to cover it up.
City Lord Hua input his spiritual power into the magic weapon, and soon the magic weapon became larger, spinning and drilling into the ground.
The work initiated is completely hidden under the ground. Only slight vibrations can be felt on the ground. After about half an hour, a set of underground rooms will be obtained.
But after only about ten minutes, City Lord Hua made a hand gesture and let the magic weapon return to the ground.
Cheng Hui: !! I learned something! It turns out you can stop halfway!
With the final finishing touch, the shuttle-shaped magic weapon returned to the ground, leaving only a passage with steps underneath.
"You two... forget it. If you want to see, go down and take a look. If you don't want to see, just stay where you are." After saying that, she jumped into the passage.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang looked at each other and jumped down as well.
Since the god has no objection, it means that exploring here will not anger him.
Cheng Hui is also very wary of this god. If he can find some clues related to him, maybe he can find a way to restrain him.
The feeling of having his life controlled by someone else made him very uncomfortable. In fact, this exploration might not necessarily produce any results, but Cheng Hui would never be willing to give up if he didn't try.
Lin Qingyang had the same idea as him, and the two of them walked down the stairs. With City Lord Hua leading the way ahead, there was basically no need to worry about any unnecessary danger.
Because this time only half of the room was opened up, the three bedrooms and one living room are gone, leaving only a large living room.
In the center of the living room, City Lord Hua stood there, looking up at the ceiling, touching his chin with an expression that said 'as expected'.
The two of them also looked in the direction he was looking and were immediately shocked. Although the ceiling was smooth, the flat cross-section was littered with severed limbs and body parts.
Cheng Hui:……!!!
Fuck! What the hell!
"Tsk tsk, there are still so many debris so deep underground. This must be the entire city's population lying here." City Lord Hua said, rubbing his chin.
Lin Qingyang reacted very quickly. Since there were corpses above their heads, then there must be corpses under their feet... He looked down and saw the same cut and polished corpses.
Cheng Hui shuddered, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
He suddenly lowered his head and saw that the ground beneath his feet was covered with neatly cut corpses.
Cheng Hui: ...
Cheng Hui almost threw the remains of the person out because of a trembling hand.
When he looked at the mural, he felt that the god was very unlucky, and even felt a little sympathy for him. But looking at the corpses scattered on the ground... forget it, why should he sympathize? The god had avenged himself.
"Let's go out and take a look." City Lord Hua stopped wasting time and walked down the stairs to leave the basement.
Cheng Hui hurriedly followed him out, and as soon as he went out, he saw a scene that almost made him drop his jaw.
I saw that City Lord Hua was gathering his strength, the tip of the long spear in his hand kept moving in and out, and he felt like he was about to explode but was being forcibly suppressed.
"City Lord, what are you doing..."
City Lord Hua curled his lips and said, "Watch!"
The spear in his hand flew out, and after the spear tip pierced the jade pillar, it suddenly exploded. The tall jade pillar exploded under this blow, and fragments flew everywhere. A large amount of sticky white liquid gushed out from the root.
Cheng Hui: ...
It's just... a little bit scary.
The moment the jade pillar collapsed, an angry roar came from deep underground.
Immediately afterwards, the earth trembled, the ground continued to crack, and the corpses that had been buried continued to surge up. The square, which was not very large in area, turned into a hell on earth in the blink of an eye.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
Many people who did not enter the temple came over from all directions, and when they saw the changes in the square, their expressions suddenly changed.
Bang!
The temple door that had been opened was suddenly closed, and soon the voices of many people were heard from inside.
The corner of Cheng Hui's mouth twitched. He always felt that this god seemed a little insidious. He easily separated these ghost cultivators with just one move.
But then again… if they're all gods, then they must be pretty powerful, right? Why do we need to separate them?
Could it be that... he is actually very weak?
Cheng Hui was a little eager to do something, but he quickly suppressed the emotion.
No, we can't act impulsively, we have to continue observing.
"Hehe, it sounds like he has a bad temper." City Lord Hua was not nervous at all, even though the sound coming from underground was getting closer and closer.
Cheng Hui weighed his own abilities and decisively decided to step back a distance.
The thing underground sounds very ferocious, and the City Lord Hua in front of him is no less ferocious. Two ferocious bosses are about to confront each other, and he doesn't want to be implicated.
However... he didn't expect that the person underground was not only ferocious, but also extremely large in size.
In other words, the entire square is only slightly smaller than its body, and the little distance Cheng Hui gave up is almost useless.
"roar!"
The ground shattered, and several green vines shot up into the sky, flexibly rolling towards the surrounding ghost cultivators.
"What the hell!"
"Ah! Help!"
“Aa ...
The ghost cultivators were caught off guard. They were originally just watching the fun, but when they were attacked they realized that the evil creature had been targeting them for a long time, perhaps intending to have a dessert before the main course.
After dozens of unlucky ghost cultivators were caught, they were rolled up by vines and sent into the largest crack. Chewing sounds and screams of cultivators were heard from inside. Then a huge flower squeezed out from the crack, and at the same time, it did not forget to send the ghost cultivators rolled up by the vines into its mouth.
Cheng Hui was also frightened by the huge flower. The vines mostly attacked the ghost cultivators near the square. The two of them were closer to the center and were not attacked.
The flower was as tall as a two-story building, with white petals and red edges. The red color spread towards the base of the petals, like blood vessels, transporting nutrients to the roots.
In the center of the petals is a circle of round sharp teeth, one circle inside another, about six or seven circles. Any creature that falls into it will be chewed into pieces of meat in just a few seconds.
Cheng Hui even suspected that if he threw a stone in, it would come out as a pile of rubble - if the flower was willing to spit it out.
"She's quite pretty!" City Lord Hua said lazily.
Cheng Hui: ...
He looked at the hideous flower in silence, and couldn't find anything that could be said to be beautiful.
City Lord, maybe you need to see an ophthalmologist?
