I Love Little Watermelon
Chapter 298 Ghost Advisor?
It was then that Yuan Muye realized something: the system seemed to have only told him how to get in, but not how to get out.
What a ripoff!
Yuan Muye quickly tried to contact the system.
He wondered if he could still contact the system after his physical body and the system were separated.
He tried calling out to the system a few times, and finally, the system's voice sounded, "Reminder to host: entering the underworld is up to you. I can only awaken once."
Hearing the system's voice like this, Yuan Muye became anxious and said, "At least tell me where the exit is!"
But as soon as Yuan Muye said this, the system fell silent.
This left Yuan Muye speechless.
This system is really going to die!
It's even quite unreliable. Now that Yuan Muye has entered such a ghostly place, he doesn't even know how he's going to get out alive.
Thinking of this, Yuan Muye felt miserable.
But since he was already here, he could only bite the bullet and continue forward.
Yuan Muye began to grope around in the darkness. He didn't know how long he groped for, but finally, a building appeared in front of him, looking somewhat like a dilapidated temple.
However, in front of such a large expanse of black skeletons, the appearance of such a lonely-looking building was indeed abnormal.
But for Yuan Muye, seeing this building was already a great gain.
Yuan Muye didn't dare to delay and quickly approached the building.
When he reached the front of the building, he found that it looked somewhat like a temple. However, this temple was also abandoned. The plaque hanging above had already broken and fallen to the ground. Yuan Muye turned the plaque over and saw the words "City God Temple" written on it.
City God Temple?
Yuan Muye murmured, feeling a little strange.
It was covered in a lot of dust. City God Temple? Could it be that the underworld was finished?
Yuan Muye curiously took a look and then walked inside. But just as he walked inside, a voice suddenly rang in Yuan Muye's ear, "Welcome, Lord, back!"
This voice made Yuan Muye feel a tingling sensation in his bones, and he felt that something was wrong.
"Who's speaking? Get out here."
Yuan Muye suddenly shouted.
"Lord, don't be angry. This humble one will come out now."
A flattering and somewhat humble voice rang in Yuan Muye's ear.
But along with the voice, Yuan Muye didn't see anyone.
So he continued, "Boy, stop trying to play tricks on me. Be careful, or I'll kill you."
"Lord, this humble one is here. Look down."
Yuan Muye heard this and came back to his senses. He looked down and saw a very small dwarf.
He looked to be only about fifty or sixty centimeters tall, wearing tattered clothes, looking very miserable. But these clothes didn't seem like ordinary clothes; they seemed somewhat like the clothes worn by underworld officers.
Of course, Yuan Muye had never seen what real underworld officers wore, but he guessed.
"Who are you?"
Yuan Muye asked.
Although this little person looked a bit down and out, the yin energy on his body was very strong. Yuan Muye even had a feeling that he couldn't see through this guy's cultivation level.
The little person stared at Yuan Muye, with a flattering smile on his face, and then said, "Lord, it's me, this humble one is your advisor."
"Advisor?"
Yuan Muye asked curiously.
After asking, Yuan Muye suddenly thought of something again and said, "What did you call me just now?"
He had belatedly reacted.
"I called you Lord, Lord, have you forgotten this humble one?"
"Forgotten. What's your name?"
Yuan Muye asked directly.
"This humble one is called Crow. I am your most loyal ghost advisor. Now that you've returned, this humble one has been waiting for you here for at least a thousand years."
Crow continued to smile.
"You mean to say I'm the City God?"
Yuan Muye asked curiously.
"That's right, Lord. You are the genuine City God. Now that you've finally returned, this humble one has been waiting very hard."
"Okay, Ghost Advisor, stop with the nonsense. Tell me, what's the situation in the underworld now?"
This was the question that Yuan Muye was most concerned and curious about, so he asked it directly without any delay.
After waiting for a while, the Ghost Advisor said, "Reporting to the Lord, this underworld has been completely abandoned. Now, only the Yama King's Palace may be intact, but entering the Yama King's Palace now is not an easy task."
"Hmm?"
Yuan Muye looked at the Ghost Advisor in confusion.
The Ghost Advisor continued, "Do you see that gloomy barrier behind the City God Temple? Except for our City God Temple being locked outside, the rest of the underworld officials have been sealed inside. We are completely isolated."
Yuan Muye then asked, "But why did such a thing happen?"
"Lord, this matter goes back a long time. About a thousand years ago, the underworld suffered a catastrophe. I don't know where a group of people came from, but they directly destroyed the underworld."
"Lord, this humble one was lucky enough to escape the disaster and survive. I don't know the specific reason. Maybe we'll only know if we enter that barrier. Actually, this humble one has been waiting for the Lord to return..."
As he spoke, the Ghost Advisor was about to start spouting nonsense and flattering him again. Yuan Muye didn't want to listen to his flattery, so he told him to stop and that there was no need to flatter him.
Although the Ghost Advisor was a bit reluctant, he still shut his mouth. After the Ghost Advisor shut his mouth, Yuan Muye began to ponder. He looked around at this dilapidated place and said, "Take me to that barrier and let me take a look."
The Ghost Advisor responded and began to lead Yuan Muye forward.
Before long, they arrived in front of the barrier. Yuan Muye's gaze fell on the barrier, and he found that this barrier looked very thin, as if it would shatter with a touch.
As he reached out his hand to touch it,
The Ghost Advisor quickly stopped Yuan Muye, saying, "Lord, please don't."
"Why?"
"Your current strength is not enough. Touching this barrier may cause an accident."
"It's okay, I'll try."
Yuan Muye was actually very curious and eager to know the secrets hidden behind it, so he reached out and touched the barrier.
When his hand touched the barrier, in the next second, the originally unremarkable barrier quickly changed.
The black qi on those barriers seemed to come alive, climbing towards Yuan Muye's arm.
