Chapter 1353: Close to the Truth

The Wolf King was keenly aware of Meng Chao’s hesitation.

He was partially proud and partially helpless as he laughed.

“It seems that you’ve also realized that we have no other choice.”

The Wolf King waved his hand, and a red bloody scar appeared in the air. It appeared thick at times and sharp at others. It was filled with an indomitable spirit. “Right now, we are like vanguard soldiers in an unprecedented battle.

“Whether it’s the rumbling cannon fire in front of us, the bottomless trenches filled with spikes, the dense spears of the enemy, the frost, fire, and lightning from the mages, or the seemingly indestructible iron walls, we have no choice but to close our eyes and charge forward with courage!

“If we march forward valiantly, there is a one in ten thousand chance that we will survive and win the final victory.

“If we hesitate or even flee in panic, not only will we die without a doubt, we will forever be nailed to history’s pillar of shame. The victors will slander and ridicule us for all time!

“Reaper, I know what you’re worried about.

“Trealize that some kind of power has invaded my brain and is interfering with my thoughts as well.

“Believe me, even though I look a little crazy on the outside, my mind has never been as clear as it is now.

“Teven know that the power that has invaded my brain and interfered with my thoughts may not have originated from my great, brave, and glorious ancestors. As you and the Nine-ring Magician from three thousand years ago said, it’s some kind of mysterious power with ulterior motives or even the

Demon King of Terror.

“But so what?

“Neither the ancestral spirit nor the Demon King of Terror is important. What’s important is that it can give me unparalleled power and give me the possibility to change the future!

“Even if what it provides is not ‘free lunch,’ I’m willing to pay or even overpay for that possibility!

“After all, a gladiator who is about to step into the arena and fight to the death against an undefeatable enemy while he is starving will not care about the price he has to pay for a good meal.

“What does a gambler who has lost everything, even his future, have to fear? Why should he hesitate anymore? What is there to lose?

“If someone is willing to lend him a large sum of money to turn things around, even if that person is a so-called devil, even if he needs to use the gambler’s soul as collateral, does it matter?”

‘The Wolf King’s sudden sharp aura made Meng Chao realize that he was serious.

The Wolf King’s brain had indeed been invaded, and some mysterious force had invaded his mind.

Yet, at the same time, his brain had become extremely clear. He had even opened up his brain to receive the mysterious force’s interference and modification.

Meng Chao did not know where to start with such a determination.

Moreover, Meng Chao had not thought of a way to stop the Wolf King, Lion King, and Tiger King simultaneously.

After all, even though the mysterious power had invaded the Wolf King’s brain, he still maintained basic rationality and logic. He was also willing to start a conversation with Meng Chao.

From Meng Chao’s memory fragments of his previous life, the Wolf King, who had transformed into the Doomsday Wolf, was not a complete lunatic.

It was true that he was a war monger, but the war he started still followed all the basic laws of war.

That meant the Wolf King could control the mysterious power that invaded his brain to a certain extent.

However, the Lion King and Tiger King might not be able to do the same.

One could already tell the Horn of Destruction and Violent Blade’s style based on their names.

If the Lion King and Tiger King obtained the power and fate that the Wolf King had in his previous life, Meng Chao did not think that Dragon City and Picturesque Orchid Lake would have a better ending than before.

“Is this a fate that can’t be changed?

“Jackal” Kanus is destined to become the Doomsday Wolf, while Dragon City and Picturesque Orchid Lake are destined to face destruction?

‘Wait, I’ve seemed to overlooked something, something that doesn’t fit in with the Holy Mountain temple. I need to calm down and think carefully…’

A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed in the sky above Meng Chao’s mind.

The lightning illuminated a face that did not fit with the Holy Mountain temple at all.

“A human-faced spider,” Meng Chao muttered to himself.

His voice was very soft, but the Wolf King’s reaction was intense.

“What did you say?”

The Wolf King roared. “Don’t waste any more time. Let’s listen to the ancestral spirit’s call and enter the deepest part of the Holy Mountain temple before the Horn of Destruction and Violent Blade!”

“No, don’t interrupt my train of thought. I’m trying to figure out what happened to the human-faced spider when we first entered the Holy Mountain temple.”

Meng Chao glanced at the overly-excited Wolf King and continued his analysis. “On the surface, it seems that a mysterious force lurking in the deepest part of the temple sent it to lure us into a trap. It was because we were chasing after it that we lost our footing and fell into the pipeline, which triggered a

series of coincidences.

“However, on second thought, the human-faced spider’s makeup is completely different from the fossils of the ferocious beasts and the hero statues that we saw later.

“The ferocious beasts have been dead for thousands of years. The surface of their bones is crystal clear because of the spirit energy. It’s as if a layer of delicate jade has grown out. Although the souls of the totem beasts are hidden inside, they do not seem to be alive at all.

“The hero statues are made of liquid-like metal. Although every carved detail is vivid and lifelike, because the statues’ surfaces are made of metal, and even their skin, hair, and eyeballs shine with a metallic luster, it’s difficult to treat them as living creatures with flesh and blood.

“They’re all part of the Holy Mountain temple. They’re also the mechanisms and puppets that could have been manipulated by the mysterious forces lurking in the depths of the temple.

“As for the human-faced spider, although it has a strange appearance and is deformed as well as ugly, its shell that covers its body also shimmers faintly with a metallic texture. Its body must be wrapped in a liquid metal-like substance similar to a totem armor.

“However, its human-like face is definitely flesh and blood, a living thing.

“The look of anticipation and anxiety when it tried to send us a message further supports this. It also looks like a carbon-based intelligent life that is rich in vitality and free will. It’s not just a puppet.

“Logically speaking, the Holy Mountain temple has been sealed for three thousand years.

“During these three thousand years, even if some viruses, bacteria, algae, and low-level plants could grow silently in the depths of the Holy Mountain temple, large, high-level creatures with flesh and blood like the human-faced spider would definitely not be able to survive.

“So, where exactly did this guy come from? Where exactly was he leading us? What did he want to tell us? Don’t you think it’s necessary for us to figure out this problem?”

“No…”

‘The Wolf King’s reaction was even more intense than Meng Chao had imagined.

He waved his claws randomly, trying to stop Meng Chao from continuing. “That’s just a bait. It’s just to lure us out of the tunnel. Don’t waste time on a bait!”

“If that’s really just bait, why are you so agitated?”

Meng Chao gazed at the Wolf King deeply. He felt that he had unintentionally grasped the key to changing the future. “The more I think about it, the more certain I am that the human-faced spider is not a mere bait.

“If the mysterious force lurking within the Holy Mountain temple only wants to lure us here to conduct the trial, there are a hundred more straightforward ways to achieve its purpose.

“For example, it can arrange relief sculptures on the ground that extend all the way across the path, just like what we saw on the temple’s outer shell.

“It can also place hundreds ferocious beast fossils or hero statues along the way. Would we go against the guidance of these legendary heroes?

“Moreover, it only needs to ignite a few flames in the darkness, and the flames would condense into shining arrowheads. We would certainly follow the arrowheads’ directions.

“In fact, I very much doubt that the mysterious power dormant in the depths of the Holy Mountain temple was originally arranged like this.

“It has carefully arranged everything. It’s just been waiting for three thousand years for Turan warriors to open the seal and walk into its embrace step by step.

“However, its carefully arranged arrangements were disrupted by the human-faced spider.

“That’s right. The human-faced spider was not luring us into the trap but trying every means to keep us away from it.

“Didn’t you notice it? Guided by the human-faced spider, we were gradually running toward the edge of the Holy Mountain temple. As long as we jumped over the giant rift deep in the rock layer, we would have been able to completely escape the temple’s control?

“However, at the last moment, the pipeline under our feet suddenly cracked.

“The way the pipeline cracked was so simple and crude. We’re both above average warriors, so we can precisely control the pressure that we exert on the outer walls of the pipeline. The pipeline did not seem to be damaged or corroded, and its outer walls were extremely tough.

“But somehow, we stepped on the pipeline and fell in.

“Rather than saying that it was a well-designed trap, it’s more accurate to say that there was some mysterious force that didn’t want us to follow the human-faced spider out of the Holy Mountain temple’s control area. It also didn’t want us and the human-faced spider to hide in a place where it couldn’t

see us to exchange information. So, at the last moment, it stopped us by force.

“Wolf King, do you think there’s any problem with my speculation?”

“Of-Of course there’s a problem.”

The Wolf King’s head was twitching nervously. His voice was filled with anxiety that even he himself did not realize. “You’re saying that all of this is speculation. You have no evidence at all!”

“At first, there was no evidence. I was just talking nonsense and letting my imagination run wild.”

Meng Chao smiled and gradually floated above the Wolf King.. “But, if it’s true that my guess is wrong, why are you so nervous and anxious?”
