Chapter 176: The Cruelty of the Goddess
At the same time as the first secret treasure was discovered.
Under the leadership of the Demon Beast, Gu Moli, who surrendered, also pulled Brother Bad to the border of the Demon Forest, and the rows of Demon Beasts on the way made Gu Moli's scalp numb, not to mention anything else, just this magnitude, coupled with the strength of the Demon Beast itself, it was more than enough to destroy ten Shambhala.
And then what came into view was a huge abyss that was not much different from the Great Hollow of Shambhala, but surprisingly, compared to the dense number of Demonic Beasts along the way, there was not even a single Demonic Beast on the side of the Great Hollow, but instead there were a large number of figures.
The leader was even taller, wearing a black blindfold and a cold expression.
"Huh? That's not...."
Brother Bad recognized the other party at the first time, and Gu Moli was naturally no exception.
"Sneck..."
Transfiguration Master Sneik! One of the four adventurers, sure enough, this guy also took refuge in the Warcraft camp! So to speak.... Gu Mo's gaze quickly swept behind Sneike, and then the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and sure enough, in the corner of the crowd, he saw a familiar figure.
Hua Qiong.
Gu Moli knew with his ass that it was definitely this stupid guy who was rampage in the forest, but he was noticed by Imotena, and then he was pulled in.
Lose face!
Ignoring the fact that he also joined the Warcraft camp after surrendering, Gu Moli secretly scolded in his heart, and at the same time, Sneike had already strode over.
β.... Newcomer? β
Sneike seemed to remember the appearance of Gu Moli and Brother Bad, and the cold expression on his face did not change: "Since you are here, you know the situation." β
"Let's go over there and wait."
After saying that, Sneike didn't entangle with Gu Moli and the bad brother, and turned around and left directly.
"Hmm...."
Gu Moli responded and said while quickly observing the situation at the scene, and sure enough, most of these treasure hunters appeared in the conference room before, Sneike's subordinates, so the appearance of himself and Brother Bad should be a very common thing for Sneike.
And the adventurer didn't think he would voluntarily obey Imotena.
But then again.
That big hollow....
Gu Moli's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked in the direction of the big hollow, he was very curious about what was in there, the same big hollow as Shambhala, and the fool knew that there must be a problem.
That's when it happened.
"Yo! Boss~! β
Hua Qiong strode over with a bright smile: "I knew you would come." β
β.... Just know? β
Gu Mo pouted from the corner of his mouth: "What do you mean?" You know I'm coming? β
"That's right."
Hua Qiong nodded as a matter of course, and then stretched out her right hand, and said while breaking her fingers like a few family treasures: "First of all, you will definitely be able to find out about the things I lost in the forest, boss, since I am missing, boss, you will definitely feel that there is something strange in the forest, and I want to come over to check, at least to confirm the reason for my disappearance, but it is not safe to come alone, so boss, you will come with a cannon fodder nine times out of ten." β
Bad brother on the side: "........"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Gu Mo said righteously: "Ah Bad is my brother, I took him purely to promote the newcomer, and I don't have any other intentions at all!" β
Completely ignoring Gu Moli's quibbles, Hua Qiong continued: "Then, as soon as the boss enters the forest, he will definitely encounter the demonic beast, and in order to investigate the truth, you will definitely go deep into the forest, and once you go deep into the forest, the probability of you encountering that mysterious person is quite high..."
"And if it really happens, with the strength of the mysterious person, I conclude that the boss will definitely choose to surrender....."
"Wait!"
Gu Moli grinned and interrupted Hua Qiong's narration: "Friends are friends, be careful if you talk nonsense again, I will sue you for slander!" β
Surrender? Am I surrendering?
I am using NPC resources reasonably to maximize benefits!
"Huh?"
Hua Qiong tilted her head and said with a smile: "Isn't it? I've always felt that the boss is the kind of person who doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle, and if you encounter that situation, you will definitely surrender without saying a word, and you may even sell other teammates....."
"Nonsense!"
Gu Moli was so angry that his face turned red: "Who do you think of me!?" Is it hard to find a confidant? β
"Didn't you?"
"Of course not!"
The bad brother on the side showed an expression of wanting to speak and stopping.
And Hua Qiong also showed a narrow smile: "Okay, okay, no, no, no, but boss, in addition to me, there is another player in the forest." β
"I know, the word is the head, right, where is she?"
"I don't know."
β..... Well? β
Hua Qiong's answer made Gu Moli frown, and Hua Qiong spread her hands: "Actually, I knew about it before I was coerced into joining the Warcraft camp, but after that, in order to investigate the situation in the forest, I separated from her, although I went to find the previous hiding place afterwards." β
"But she seems to have shifted a long time ago."
"What do you mean.... She's still in the Shambhala camp? β
"Yes."
Speaking of this, Hua Qiong changed her words again: "Oh yes, boss, do you have any clues about the four secret treasures of Shambhala?" β
"Huh?" Gu Moli, who was still thinking about it, subconsciously responded: "There is a little. β
"Huh? Is there really one? β
"Nonsense."
Gu Mo glanced at Hua Qiong: "Shambhala and the Forest of Warcraft, plus the mystery of eternal life, although the so-called four secret treasures don't know the specific appearance, but as long as the function is a little brain supplement, you can guess one or two." β
"There should be one of the treasures that will give you eternal life."
"The other thing should be able to manipulate the Monster, otherwise it would not explain why Imortna would make the Beast do what it says."
"There is one more thing that should be able to fight against the Warcraft, otherwise with Shambhala's civilization level and crippled level combat power, it is impossible to stop the Warcraft for that long."
"I don't have a clue about the last thing....."
Gu Moli directly said the guess in his heart, while Hua Qiong looked at him dumbfounded, and smacked his lips for a while: ".... Tsk, I thought I was one step ahead. β
"What do you mean.... Wait, have you found a treasure? β
"It's not so much about finding it."
"It's better to just put it there."
Hua Qiong took Gu Moli's hand and asked Brother Bad to follow, and then came to the edge of the big hollow, and then took out a telescope from his arms and handed it to Gu Moli's hand.
"There's an enchantment outside the hole, and we can't get past it, so we can only use this to see it."

"Where did you get this equipment....?"
"I borrowed it before the word was stable, and that guy has a lot of similar props, and I don't know where they came from."
Hua Qiong bared her teeth and pointed in the direction of the big hollow: "Anyway, boss, take a look for yourself, it's that thing." β
"Huh?"
Gu Moli took the binoculars, and after adjusting the engraved disk, he glanced at the depths of the big hollow.
At the bottom of the hollow, a tall statue of a goddess stood tall with a thick book in her hand, and the moment she observed the other party, the system message popped up.

...........
In addition, Gu Moli's gaze also fell on the center of the cover of the book.
Is that.... A snake devouring its own tail.
Ouroboros.
In addition, there is also a line of characters engraved on the book cover, and through the automatic translation of the system, Gu Moli read the meaning for the first time:
[Eternal life is the cruelest love of the goddess]
