The golden skull stood there silently, as if time itself had frozen, with only the two blue flames in its eye sockets still leaping and flickering.
This eerie sight made the surrounding atmosphere even more sinister and terrifying.
Qin Feng stood not far away, his face calm and composed, showing no sign of impatience.
He waited silently for the golden skull to make its final decision.
To be honest, if he hadn't been forced to, he really wouldn't want to have any more entanglement with this mysterious and strange guy in front of him.
After all, from the brief exchange before, he had clearly realized that he was not entirely confident that he could completely eliminate the golden skeleton.
However, what has kept him going until now and why he has such a tough stance and is unwilling to leave easily is not just his concern for his own safety.
More than anything, it stemmed from an irrepressible curiosity deep within him—he was curious about the true identity of the golden skull and why it had launched an attack on them.
Although the golden skull had just given an explanation, claiming that it was because he had just woken up and was not yet fully conscious.
But how could Qin Feng easily believe such an explanation?
It should be noted that the powerful strength displayed by this golden skull has already reached the level of an ordinary half-step Heavenly Dao Realm cultivator.
Even if such a powerful being had just awakened from its slumber, it would be impossible for it to fall into a state of mental confusion so easily!
Just when everyone thought the stalemate would continue, after a long wait, the golden skull finally broke the silence.
It spoke slowly in a deep, hoarse voice: "Boy, what exactly do you want?"
As it spoke, the two blue flames seemed to intensify along with its emotional fluctuations.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's gaze instantly sharpened, staring intently at the golden skull before him, and he retorted without flinching, "I'm very curious about your identity, and the real reason you attacked us!"
Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, the golden skeleton seemed to be frozen in place, falling into a deathly silence once more.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, appeared calm and composed. He slowly withdrew his gaze from the golden skull and then turned to look at the man in the green robe and the woman in the long dress beside him.
"You two should go find a safe place to heal your injuries first. I will come to find you after I have finished dealing with things here."
It should be noted that both the man in the green robe and the woman in the long dress suffered quite serious injuries during their fierce battle with the golden skull.
At the same time, they also expended a lot of divine power to continue recovering.
Therefore, if they are left in this dangerous place, and the golden skeleton suddenly decides to attack, then given their current situation, they will not only be unable to provide Qin Feng with any substantial assistance, but will most likely become a burden to him.
The man in the green robe and the woman in the long dress were well aware of this, so after hearing what Qin Feng said, they simply nodded slightly to show that they understood the meaning, and then turned and left without hesitation.
At the same time, the golden skull merely glanced in the direction where the man in the green robe and the woman in the long dress had left, before returning to its original motionless state, showing no intention of stopping them from leaving.
Qin Feng stood quietly in place, his gaze following the man in the green robe and the woman in the long dress as they walked further and further away, until they completely disappeared from sight.
Then, Qin Feng slowly turned his head back and refocused his attention on the golden skull in front of him.
"Have you made up your mind yet?" Qin Feng frowned, his tone revealing a hint of impatience as he asked.
The blue flames in the golden skull's eye sockets, which had been flickering slightly, suddenly froze, as if time itself had stood still.
After a moment, it answered in an unusually cold voice: "Hmph, what harm is there in telling you? In fact, I am not an ordinary being, but a monster formed by the convergence of many broken souls within the temple. Strictly speaking, I am just a ghost cultivator."
At this point, the golden skull paused slightly, seemingly observing Qin Feng's reaction to these words.
However, Qin Feng did not show much surprise on his face, and simply listened calmly as the other party continued to speak.
"As for why I attacked you... it's simple, it's because you possess that fragment of the Primordial Chaos Realm map!"
"A fragment of the Primordial Chaos Realm map?" Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's face instantly showed astonishment. Wasn't that the fragment of the animal skin map he had obtained in that mysterious divine beast cave?
The tattered animal hide map was lying quietly in his storage ring.
However, it was truly baffling that this strange golden skull could sense its presence so acutely.
Could it be that the torn animal skin map hides some unknown secret or special feature?
Thinking of this, Qin Feng's eyes began to flicker. He stared intently at the golden skull in front of him and asked urgently, "How exactly did you sense that I possessed a fragment of the Primordial Chaos Realm?"
"Also, tell me everything about the Primordial Chaos Realm!"
"To be honest, my understanding of this Primordial Chaos Realm is quite limited!" The golden skeleton shook its head and said with a somewhat helpless tone.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile: "Oh? Is that so? But with just this much information, it's probably hard to convince anyone."
"Heh..." The other person chuckled lightly, responding with a hint of disdain, "Do you think I would make up something to fool you? I'm telling the truth!"
However, Qin Feng did not readily express his opinion in response to the golden skull's words.
He simply stared silently at the mysterious entity before him, his gaze deep and sharp, as if trying to see through the skeleton to its true inner thoughts.
At this moment, he could not tell whether the golden skull was telling the truth or lying.
Just as the scene fell into a brief silence, the golden skull spoke again, breaking the deadlock: "As for why I was able to sense the existence of that fragment of a map in your storage ring, the reason is actually very simple—that fragment of a map exudes a special aura unique to the Primordial Chaos Realm."
"This aura is extremely subtle and delicate, but it is all too familiar to me."
"Therefore, as long as it is within a certain distance, I will be able to easily sense its presence."
