That last sentence piqued Li Ge's interest. According to the TV shows she had watched in her previous life, the more hidden a place was, the more likely it was to hold unknown secrets. She laughed to herself, wondering if those dramas were true.
She never expected that her momentary amusing thought would become a prophecy.
She dismissed the humorous idea and pushed aside the crowd, looking at the picture.
Wulun was right. If according to the map, there should be another unknown room. She followed the instructions on the map and began to order everyone to search.
Perhaps it was human nature to love adventure, so the 'Dust' clan members were all excited and searched everywhere.
At this moment, the disaster that had been forgotten by everyone became angry. Just as everyone was excited, they heard a rumbling sound from above.
"No, this place is going to collapse!" Someone shouted.
Hearing this, everyone looked up at the source of the sound. Sure enough, the muffled rumbling sound was completely different from the crisp sound of thunder. Moreover, everyone could feel their bodies shaking when they were quiet.
"It should be the whole mountain shaking. Is this heavenly tribulation going to destroy the whole mountain?" Someone murmured.
After saying that, everyone fell silent. They looked at Wulun with more or less blame in their eyes. If the witch and the elders hadn't decided to leave the forest, they wouldn't be waiting for death here.
Wulun's face turned pale. He understood the clan's blaming gaze and was willing to bear it. If the entire 'Dust' clan were to be destroyed, he would go down and apologize to his ancestors and the clan members. Unfortunately, he hadn't fulfilled the legacy left by his ancestors during his lifetime. Wulun's heart was broken, but there was no turning back. Thinking of this, Wulun turned to the wolf king and Li Ge, and said with deep guilt, "Wolf King, young lady, it's Wulun's fault. He has caused you to die here. If I hadn't made that condition back then, you wouldn't have encountered this disaster. In short, if there is an afterlife, Wulun will definitely repay the kindness of the two of you with a humble life."
After Wulun finished speaking, he deeply bowed to the wolf king and Li Ge. The clan members behind him did the same, showing their deep gratitude to the man and woman.
Li Ge had never seen such a scene before. She was a little at a loss and quickly stepped forward to help Wulun up, advising, "Master Wulun, don't think like that. This is all voluntary on my part and Mo's. It has nothing to do with you. Let's go first. What we need to do now is to find a way out. According to the map, there should be an exit here."
Li Ge's words immediately diverted everyone's attention. They began to frantically search for an exit.
Perhaps knowing that it was a dangerous time, or knowing the power of the wolf king, the beasts didn't dare to act rashly. They widened their eyes and watched these humans wander around the stone chamber.
After a long time, everyone shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't found any space that could hide people. Disappointment gradually turned into despair. Everyone hung their heads and leaned against the stone wall, waiting for the impending doom.
Everyone's dejected atmosphere directly affected Li Ge. However, she wasn't as sad as the others. In her consciousness, even if she died, as long as she was with Mo, it wouldn't matter. It was just a change of world. Thinking of this, Li Ge said to the wolf king, "Mo, if there is an afterlife, don't forget me."
Li Ge said this with a smile.
The wolf king heard this, raised his head, and carefully observed the smile in Li Ge's eyes. Was this woman sincere? It didn't matter. Even if he didn't remember her, he couldn't deny the fact that he was attracted to her. So, he would act according to his own heart. The wolf king nodded heavily. This was his promise to the woman. So, no matter where they were, he would definitely have her.
Boom, boom. Cracks began to appear on the ceiling of the stone chamber, and rain poured down without restraint, soaking everyone's clothes again.
What surprised Li Ge was the reaction of the 'Dust' clan people. Facing death, they were quiet and peaceful. Even the children held in their arms looked at everything with blank and innocent eyes.
Li Ge sighed, lamenting the ruthlessness of heaven. Even if this clan were to be destroyed, probably no one would know.
Crack. This crisp sound made everyone tremble. They knew that the moment had finally arrived.
All the 'Dust' clan people closed their eyes, and the children were covered with eyes by their parents, waiting for the expected earthquake.
Li Ge quickly squatted down and hugged the wolf king's neck. She suddenly felt a warmth on her face and a tingling sensation. Looking up, she saw Mo kissing her. Li Ge's nervousness instantly disappeared. This was the first time Mo had been so proactive towards her since he didn't remember her.
Seeing Li Ge open her eyes, the wolf king licked her eyes. Just as Li Ge had to close her eyes, she heard a boom.
"Ah!"
"What's going on?"
"So that's how it is!"
Everyone shouted in unison, their voices filled with excitement.
That's right. Just when they thought everything was over, someone said it was a prank. Who wouldn't be excited and tearful?
Dong, dong, dong, the sound of objects falling echoed in Li Ge's ears. She knew she had landed on a warm and firm object. She closed her eyes and knew it was Mo who had caught her.
"Wow, what is this place?"
"Why are there such things?"
Because of the sudden light, Li Ge blinked for a while before slowly adapting.
When she saw everything in front of her, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. This place was more than twice as large as the one above. The four corners of the room were inlaid with night pearls, illuminating the entire room like daylight.
What attracted her attention the most was the dozens of paintings on the walls. And the wolves with blood-red eyes in the paintings were what Li Ge cared about most. Although they didn't have the snow-white fur like Mo, their eyes, expressions, and the aura they exuded were equally impressive.
Besides Li Ge, Wulun and several elders also noticed this. They trembled as they walked towards the paintings, and Li Ge heard them muttering something. When they got closer, Li Ge finally understood.
"This… this is our clan's emblem."
Wulun could immediately recognize the pattern carved on the rock. He was shocked. He had also been to this forbidden area, but he had never paid attention to this place.
