The 100-odd soldiers will not come along? They only set up traps for me to help you catch the real culprit?

Wei Huo walked over and took out a bandage. He then told the General, “Don’t worry, General. It’s just an arrow wound, isn’t it? I can treat this kind of small injury easily!”

The General was speechless.

Wei Huo took the bandage and wrapped the General’s wound up. You still want to trick me?

Wei Huo knew that this was a six-person quest. It would be too difficult to complete it alone. If he died during the quest, he might have been tricked by the General.

Seeing that his calf had been cured, the General could only limp toward the Wang Residence. When the Wang Family’s gate opened, pieces of tile appeared one after another. The patterns on each tile were different, and one could spot some of them if one looked closely.

Wei Huo warned the General as he walked toward him. “General, be careful. There might be traps here!”

However, the General ignored his warning and stepped on a tile. A moment later, a dark arrow shot out and hit the General’s left arm.

Wei Huo was speechless.

Only you would step on such a low-level trap. The Wang Family could not be bothered to set up any complicated traps.

The General turned around and looked at Wei Huo. “Wei Huo! My shoulder is injured. If I go with you, I’ll drag you down. I’ll leave the mastermind to you!”

Wei Huo walked forward with a bandage and quickly bandaged the General’s wound. The quality of the bandage was excellent. After three minutes, the Epic-ranked General’s wound was healed.

The General was speechless.

He moved forward again and stepped on all the traps he encountered. One moment he was injured by a dark arrow, another by a raging fire, and the next by lightning. All the attacks hit the General.

By the time they crossed that entire piece of land, the General was covered in arrows. The area was charred, red, and swollen. The armor on his body was also tattered.

Wei Huo was speechless.

Isn’t this too much? Are you asking me to clear the Instance Dungeon alone?

The General was covered in arrows and was emitting a burnt smell. There were bruises all over his body. He clasped his fists in Wei Huo’s direction with difficulty and said, “Wei Huo, I’m seriously injured now. I’ll only drag you down if I go in. Please catch the mastermind of the Wang Family!”

Wei Huo was speechless.

What else could Wei Huo say? He could only walk into the Wang Residence alone.

The construction style of the Wang Family’s residence was similar to that of ancient Chinese buildings. The floor was paved with stone, and the buildings were made of soil and wood. The top two stories were empty, and so were the hallways.

The hallways were very old. Occasionally, one or two ragged red lanterns could be seen along them. Some of the doors even had couplets attached to them. From time to time, one or two Pixiu statues could be seen. However, the Pixius’ faces were severely worn out.

From time to time, a breeze would blow over, causing one to feel the coolness of late autumn. There were also wooden doors that seemed to have been out of order for a long time and creaked against the wind.

The atmosphere became weirder. Wei Huo was very careful as he kept moving forward. Suddenly, weird background music started playing.

Wei Huo picked up Tiamat and attacked in the direction of the sound. Although Tiamat was powerful, he met his match this time.

It was a loudspeaker that was protected by rules. Not a single spark was produced when Tiamat cut it.

Wei Huo’s attack could not hurt the loudspeaker at all. The loudspeaker continued releasing its weird background music in an attempt to create a horrifying atmosphere. However...

“This is actually a funny game, isn’t it?” Wei Huo looked at the loudspeaker. “The loudspeaker has dispersed the horrifying atmosphere.”

The atmosphere was quite good initially. You ruined the whole atmosphere by using a loudspeaker!

Wei Huo realized that it was a funny game!

He then continued his journey. This time, he heard another movement. A chewing, tearing sound was coming from the door.

Wei Huo walked over and opened the wooden door.

Behind the wooden door was a two-meter-tall humanoid monster. It was bloated and at that moment, the monster was chewing on the corpse of an unrecognizable adult God.

Wei Huo closed the door slowly. “Sorry for disturbing you!”

However, the monster was unwilling to give up. It charged through the door and smashed it into pieces. It roared as it attempted to bite Wei Huo to death. However, Wei Huo slashed down with Tiamat and the monster was cut in half.

Wei Huo checked the creature’s name. It was called God Eater. It was a little weaker than the God Slayer. It was also bulky and it had fangs in its mouth. It looked like a Zombie Boss in a biological crisis.

It seemed like Wei Huo had stirred up too much trouble. Many monsters rushed out from various hallways. However, Wei Huo was not lacking group attacks at the moment. He lifted up Tiamat and used his New Moon Skill. A circular Qi Blade spread out. The Qi Blade looked gentle but sharp. It split the surrounding God Eaters in half in an instant.

The God Eaters were Rare-ranked. A huge crowd would appear every five minutes, so it was impossible to kill them all.

As Wei Huo continued killing them, he soon saw an altar.

Another altar...

This altar was not too big and it was square-shaped. There were statues on its four corners, and in the middle was a bronze mirror.

Wei Huo walked onto the altar. The surrounding God Eaters dared not move forward as if they were afraid of the altar.

This altar was definitely not simple.

Wei Huo studied the altar carefully. He first observed it, but he could not find anything. Wei Huo then started knocking and pushing. He tried to find its key point through random knocks.

As expected, Wei Huo found the key.

The four statues at the four corners of the altar could actually move.

Wei Huo thought about it for a while and turned the heads of the four statues toward the bronze mirror in the center. At that moment, the bronze mirror emitted a dazzling white light.

A moment later, a white-haired old man walked out of the bronze mirror.

“Who are you, God? Why did you wake me up?”

Wei Huo was confused.

You want to ask who I am?

There’s something wrong with the Divine Realm. You call yourself a God, but you’re actually a human’s spirit, aren’t you?

Wei Huo said, “The head of the Wang Family attempted to use the God Annihilating Staff to attract the Divine Realm’s God Annihilating Beasts. I’m here to capture the head of the Wang Family.”

The mysterious old man frowned. “The Wang Family? Are you referring to the descendants of the Wang Family? They actually dared to do such an unethical thing? They’re simply... Divine Sons.”

Wei Huo was speechless.

Your tongue slipped!

Wei Huo asked, “May I ask who you are?”

The mysterious old man replied, “I’m one of the first Gods. Before I became a God, I was a human. A few hundred thousand years ago, the Loulan Ancient Kingdom ascended into the Divine Realm as a whole nation and they became the first Gods.”

“A few hundred thousand years ago?” Wei Huo was confused.

Were humans hundreds of thousands of years ago still from Beijing?

The mysterious old man rubbed his eyes. “Haven’t you heard that one day in the sky is 0.33 years on the ground?”

Wei Huo was speechless.

He had never heard of this before.
