894 Wanggu’s Secret (3)
“Let’s go. The place we need to go isn’t this place at the moment.”
The woman in red gazed at the lake, her eyes filled with some emotions, and then she turned and walked deeper into the ice cave.
Xu Qing noticed the meaning in the other party’s words and didn’t ask further. He followed her deeper into the cave.
However, because the rainbow tentacles from the lake had pulled down too quickly and there were many coffins, in addition to the fact that his vision and perception were isolated to a certain extent, Xu Qing didn’t notice a familiar figure lying in one of the coffins.
At that moment, a corpse lying in the hundreds of coffins under the lake suddenly moved. Its eyes were slightly open as it rapidly scanned its surroundings.
After noticing that there was a lake outside, this person revealed a smug expression. He then quickly glanced at the rainbow tentacles pulling the coffin and his smug expression became even more intense.
“Little Nether Race, I can come in whenever I want.”
“After entering this race’s small world, I can carry out my plan.”
“I wonder how Little Qing is doing now. I think his adventure won’t be as exciting as mine. He should be waiting for me on the Heavenly Bull Mountain…”
This corpse was none other than the captain.
“Little Qing, it’s not that Eldest Senior Brother is late, but there’s nothing I can do. For our big matter, you need to wait a while longer. Who asked you not to follow me?”
The captain was feeling proud when the coffin shook. He hurriedly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be dead.
At the same time, under the glacier that was far away from the lake, the woman in red’s speed became faster and faster. Towards the end, she waved her hand and swept Xu Qing forward.
Their speed was astonishing. 10 to 14 hours later, she brought Xu Qing to the deepest part of the glacier.
The cold aura here was extremely dense and even emitted waves of the Red Moon’s restriction power.
Sensing the fluctuations of the restriction, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. He knew that they had arrived at their destination.
Soon, the woman in red stopped and stood on the ice layer. She lowered her head and looked down, revealing a sorrowful expression.
Her sorrow was so strong that it affected the surroundings, causing the sound of crying to echo faintly.
Xu Qing’s expression was solemn as he recalled the motive the other party had mentioned before. Hence, he followed the woman in red’s gaze and looked at the ice layer under his feet. When he took a look, his heart froze.
This place was dim, and it was even more so inside the glacier. Hence, Xu Qing’s vision was pitch-black. However, he could faintly sense that there seemed to be a massive presence below.
“Do you want to see?”
A long time later, the woman in red spoke softly. It was clearly a question but she didn’t let Xu Qing give an answer. She waved her hand gently.
Immediately, countless fireflies appeared in the surroundings.
The light from one firefly was weak but with their numbers, the surrounding area was illuminated brightly.
With the help of the spreading light, Xu Qing saw the scene under the glacier and was astonished.
There was a corpse under the glacier.
This corpse was 100,000 feet long and wore brown armor.
Even though it had died for a long time, the baleful aura on its body rushed into Xu Qing’s mind and turned into a furious roar.
Xu Qing’s body shook and he took a few steps back. He suppressed the shock and stared carefully.
The corpse was that of a young man with a strong and handsome face, especially his sword-like eyebrows, which exuded a heroic air.
However, a gigantic black nail drove through his head from his forehead. Blood froze on his face, causing his expression to be filled with malevolence.
His body was even more alarming to behold, with more than half of it already withered. There were areas that hadn’t withered, still emitting vitality.
This vitality that contained the intent of death spread under the glacier and gathered in the distance, heading somewhere unknown.
This scene caused countless guesses to rise in Xu Qing’s mind. He then looked at the woman in red who had a sad expression.
“This is my third brother. When he was a child, he loved following me around. As the crown prince, I had to assist the king with state affairs, which kept me busy. But wherever I went, he would follow behind. Sometimes, when I got annoyed and left him behind, he would cry and call me ‘big brother’…”
“He has an impulsive personality and doesn’t get along with my ninth brother. The two of them often fight…”
“And every time, I would side with Old Ninth.”
The woman in red spoke softly.
Xu Qing fell silent. He could sense that the sorrow in the surroundings was even more intense.
“The nail on his forehead is my father’s weapon. My fourth brother nailed it on Third’s forehead.”
“Do you know that my fourth brother originally wanted to use it against me? It was my third brother who died instead of me.”
When the woman in red said this, a smile appeared on her face and her voice echoed.
“Kid, I haven’t introduced my fourth brother to you. He used this incident as a stepping stone when Crimson Goddess arrived, and now he’s quite prestigious, becoming the divine son of the Moon Worship Region.”
When Xu Qing heard this, his heart suddenly trembled. He knew that there was a divine son in the Red Moon Shrine and guessed that the other party must be extraordinary. However, he didn’t expect this divine son to have such a background.
The fourth son of the former ruler, the current Red Moon’s divine son!
“For countless years, he was the one who fed us.” The red-clothed woman laughed.
“He was worried that we, his siblings, would die too quickly, so he fed us with the people. In the past, he would even considerately cut off our own flesh and give it to each other to eat.”
“Later on, he rarely appeared in person.”
