Chapter 612: Seeking a Way Out in the Shrine
"You also traveled through time?" Wu Hen's shout stunned Lin Qiye and Jia Lan.
Lin Qiye thought: What the hell is Wu Hen doing?
Who would ask someone if they are a time traveler when they meet them?
What if this person is really an ancient garrison commander?
The garrison commander was also stunned. He looked Wu Hen up and down, his eyes filled with confusion: "Travel through time? What does travel through time mean? What does this mean?"
When Wu Hen saw the reaction of the garrison commander, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself: It's over, it seems he is not a fellow villager!
This is so embarrassing!
He laughed it off quickly. "No big deal, it's just a dialect from our hometown. It means, where are you from?"
"Humph,"
The garrison commander snorted coldly, "I am the garrison commander of Daxia, so naturally I am ordered to guard this place."
"Oh, that's it."
Wu Hen laughed dryly and secretly winked at Lin Qiye, meaning: Explain quickly, why are you standing there!
Lin Qiye received Wu Hen's signal and quickly stepped forward.
He bowed and said, "Sir, we are the Night Watchmen of Daxia. We stumbled into this fog while investigating a strange incident. We did not intend to offend you."
"Strange incident?"
The garrison commander raised his eyebrows. "What strange incident?"
Lin Qiye briefly recounted their story of tracking down the black shadow.
After hearing this, the garrison commander paused for a moment and said, "I've never seen the black shadow you're talking about."
"However, there are indeed some strange things in this forbidden area. You must proceed with caution."
"Thank you, sir, for reminding me."
Lin Qiye thanked him and asked, "Excuse me, sir, what exactly is in this forbidden area?"
The garrison commander shook his head: "I don't know either."
"All I know is that something very terrifying is suppressed here. Once released, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Something scary?"
Wu Hen's curiosity was piqued again. "What is this thing? How scary can it be?"
"I don't know." The garrison commander answered simply.
"do not know?"
Wu Hen's eyes widened. "Aren't you the garrison commander? How could you not know?"
The garrison commander glared at Wu Hen and said, "I'm just here to guard this place. I'm not the one inside! How would I know?"
Wu Hen was speechless.
"Well, since you are the Night's Watch, I won't make things difficult for you."
The garrison commander said,
"But you must remember not to rush in recklessly, otherwise if something happens, I won't be able to save you."
"I understand." Wu Hen nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, let's go."
The garrison commander waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
Lin Qiye bowed again to express his gratitude, then took Wu Hen and Jia Lan away from the stone tablet.
After walking a distance, Wu Hen couldn't help but ask Lin Qiye:
"Qiye, do you think what the guardian said is true? Is there really something so terrifying in this forbidden area?"
Lin Qiye frowned: "I don't know either. But it's better to believe it than not to believe it."
"We'd better be careful."
Jia Lan'er also nodded: "Yeah, I also think there is something strange here."
"What should we do now?" Wu Hen asked.
"Let's look around first and see if we can find any clues."
Lin Qiye said, "However, everyone must be careful and don't disperse."
"Okay." Wu Hen and Jia Lan'er both agreed.
So the three of them began to explore carefully in this foggy forbidden area.
As he was walking, Wu Hen suddenly felt something under his feet.
He looked down and found a broken clay pot.
"Huh? Why is there a pottery jar here?" Wu Hen picked up the pottery jar curiously and observed it carefully.
"System, system, come out and take a look at what this is?" Wu Hen called out to the system in his heart.
[Ding! The host has discovered a damaged piece of ancient pottery. Do you want to identify it?]
"Identify! Identify quickly!" Wu Hen urged.
[Ding! Appraisal completed. This pottery jar is an ancient sacrificial item, dating back approximately... Hmm?]
The system suddenly paused.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Wu Hen asked.
[Ding! There's a faint spiritual energy fluctuation remaining in this pottery jar. It seems... seems to be related to some kind of seal!]
"seal?"
Wu Hen was shocked. "What seal?"
[The system level is insufficient for further analysis.]
It is recommended that the host handle this pottery jar with care, as some clues may be found in it.]
"Okay." Wu Hen nodded and put away the pottery jar.
At this moment, they suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the front.
It sounded like the growl of a wild beast, or the whistling of the wind through the treetops.
"What's that sound?" Wu Hen asked vigilantly.
"Let's go and take a look." Lin Qiye said, and took the lead to walk in the direction where the sound came from.
