I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 299: Who Wants to Meet Me?

Chapter 299: Who Wants to Meet Me?

"The…the Wolf God…"

As the lightning illuminated the world with a ghastly white glow, Xiao Ai standing behind Lu Heng couldn't help but gulp and feel somewhat terrified.

She, standing behind Lu Heng, also saw the scene deep inside the cave.

The woman's remains floating in the ghastly green liquid…even just a glimpse could illicit an extremely horrifying feeling in a person.

This large cauldron hidden deep underground is definitely not an ordinary vessel!

The woman's remains soaked in the cauldron are also not ordinary objects.

Of course, what terrifies Xiao Ai the most is the appearance of the woman's remains. She looks like she has been gnawed on by something, and there are clear bite marks visible on the corpse…

And that strange ancient cauldron, that appears to have marks from real fire burning on it.

This scene made Xiao Ai inadvertently think of a remark that the Wolf God had made in jest.

"A man bears the burden of living as a five cauldron dish and dying as a five cauldron cooked meal…"

Inside the large cauldron in the depths of this cave, was the woman boiled and eaten by something?

Even just thinking of such a guess made Xiao Ai unable to stop her scalp from tingling.

Lu Heng's expression also became solemn.

He looked down at the pitch-black hole beneath his feet, although he couldn't see the scene inside anymore due to the dissipation of the heavenly thunder. However, that brief glance had already made him know the situation underground like the back of his hand.

That cauldron has a big problem.

Not only because there were the woman's remains soaking inside, but also because the whole cauldron exuded an evil aura, making one's heart chill.

This is definitely not the Nine Cauldrons of the Yu King, which is a completely different item from the Green State Cauldron in Lu Heng's hands.

The reason that the pitch-black hole inside was inscrutable should be on this bizarre large cauldron.

Everything that enters the underground cave, whether it's divine thought, vision, or even light…everything will be swallowed and disappear.

Even the heavenly thunder could only illuminate this underground cave for a moment. After that moment, it disappeared without a trace.

This is the first time that Lu Heng has encountered such a situation.

Even the thunder of heavenly punishment can be swallowed…if it wasn't for the fact that the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder inside the scabbard of the Heavenly Thunder Sword still needed to be tempered and couldn't be unsheathed, Lu Heng even wanted to try if this underground cave could swallow the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder.

Other than this underground cave that devours everything like a black hole, the female corpse soaking in the cauldron gives Lu Heng a strange feeling.

It seems that the corpse in the strange green water of the bath is not completely dead, still alive in a sense…

Lu Heng stood at the edge of the underground cave, silently looking down at the strange hole that devours everything beneath his feet. He spoke slowly.

"Where is the Land God? Come see me at once!"

Lu Heng's voice wasn't loud, but it kept spreading outward and echoing across the whole barren plain.

Soon, a aura of earth spirit was approaching rapidly from a distance.

Afterwards, a colossal lynx, nearly ten feet tall, appeared at the edge of the swamp and raced towards Lu Heng. The aura of the earth spirit surged wherever it went, moving at such incredible speeds that it was almost as if it were moving through time and space.

However, it didn't dare to approach the sinister and terrifying cave, instead stopping a hundred feet away and standing upright like a human before hastily bowing to Lu Heng.

"I am Li Shan, the Land God of the Water Marsh. I have met the Wolf God."

The sudden appearance of the colossal lynx startled the little boy in the distance.

To outsiders, the miraculous ability of the mountain gods and earth spirits to shrink to tiny sizes seems almost magical.

The little boy lacked the cultivation level of Lu Heng, and couldn't see the dense aura of earth spirit in this place, indicating the presence of earth gods cultivating here. He thought that because this place was desolate and remote, there was no one in charge of it.

Lu Heng then turned his head towards the colossal lynx in front of him, and also bowed in return with clasped hands, saying:

"May I ask the Land God, what lies beneath the ground here?"

Despite the respectful gesture from Lu Heng, the colossal lynx didn't presume its superiority, and hastily replied:

"Report to the Wolf God that the marshland here is called Fucao Marsh, with an area of ??hundreds of miles."

"As for the things underground, even I, as a minor deity, am not sure. Because it is too evil in nature, once approached, there is a danger of being consumed."

"So, I, as a minor deity, have always been afraid to approach this marshland…"

The colossal lynx spoke cautiously and carefully.

Lu Heng nodded and asked again, "Since you are the Land God of this area, in charge of the local veins of the earth, have you ever sensed any anomalies in the veins during your cultivate? Will the evil things underground affect the surrounding veins of the earth?"

The colossal lynx hesitated for a moment and said, "Report to the Wolf God, although the evil things underground are terrifying, they don't affect the surrounding veins of the earth. Except for the area in the center of the marshland that cannot be approached, everything else is normal."

"However…However…"

The Land God had something to say but stopped himself.

Lu Heng asked, "However, what?"

Regarding this matter, the Land God hesitated for a moment before speaking carefully, "I dare not be certain if it is because of the evil things underground. However, when I cultivate daily, I often hear a strange voice calling in my ear."

"That voice is neither male nor female, peculiar and eerie. It keeps calling my name and asking me to meet it at the center of the marshland."

"However, the more it happens, the more the Land God dares not go near the marshland. Therefore, I don't know if that voice is really related to the evil things underground…"

The words of the large lynx made Lu Heng's face slightly change.

Because when the Land God finished speaking, for some reason, a strange low call suddenly sounded in Lu Heng's ear.

Lu Heng…Lu Heng…Lu Heng…

Come see me soon… Come see me soon…

That eerie voice was sometimes low, sometimes high, and strange and terrifying.

Even Lu Heng's cultivation was high, he couldn't even detect the source of that voice.

On the wild plain, a cold wind had risen at some unknown time.

Lu Heng, Xiao Ai, and the Land God stood in the marsh with the chilly wind blowing, and for some reason, Lu Heng had an eerie feeling as if he had entered the netherworld.

It seemed as if they had already left the mortal realm and entered the domain of ghosts and monsters.

"…" In the marsh, Lu Heng's expression was slightly solemn.

As the cold wind blew, he turned his head directly to the black hole behind him.

Under the gloomy sky, the cave was silent and still devouring all thoughts and sights, which were impossible to perceive or behold.

However, the calling sound ringing in his ears seemed to be getting closer and closer.

It seemed that the thing calling for Lu Heng was constantly creeping towards him from a place that Lu Heng could not discern…

Lu Heng's hand was lifted straight up.

"Sword!"

Clang!

With a sound of a sword, the eerie cold wind over the barren land was instantly pierced through.

The Heavenly Thunder Sword flew off Xiao Ai's back and directly hovered in front of Lu Heng. The dark blue long sword trembled slightly.

Even though it had not been unsheathed, the sword body that kept shaking and trembling still emitted a sharp and cold sword aura.

Lu Heng's indifferent eyes swept around in all directions.

"Who wants to see me?"

Instantly, the eerie voice calling Lu Heng's name beside his ears abruptly stopped…
