Han Sen was frozen as he watched. Ancient Devil really did die. In a moment, his lifeforce was gone. His limbs were frozen. He was more dead than a corpse.
His acting skills were very good, and his death was real. Even Chao Wei and Old Luo could not compare. Even Han Sen, who knew the truth, could not tell if he was really dead or just faking it.
Strangely enough, when Ancient Devil died, the Evil God Whiskers around him loosened a lot. They didn't leave his body, but they didn't tighten around him anymore.
"It is just pretending to be dead. I can do it too."
Han Sen gnashed his teeth. He forced himself to control his body. He hid his lifeforce and reactions. Even his heart stopped moving.
Although all his powers were suppressed by Dust Sky, controlling his body was instinctive. It was not some special power. Han Sen was an expert when it came to that.
Of course, the Evil God Beard, which was trying to tighten, stopped tightening when Han Sen's lifeforce and temperature disappeared. It actually loosened.
"It really works, but we can't just keep pretending to be dead here.
Right now, we are just mortals. If we keep pretending to be dead, our bodies will not be able to handle it. "
Han Sen wanted to ask Ancient Devil, but he was afraid if he did something, he would attract the attention of the Evil God Beard. He held back and waited for Ancient Devil to make the first move.
Han Sen knew Ancient Devil had come prepared. If he knew about the Evil God Beard and still came there, he must have had a way to deal with it. He just had to wait and see what Ancient Devil would do.
The two of them did not move. The Evil God Beard slowly let them go. The two of them landed on the bottom of the bronze tablet. Han Sen's body hurt, but he did not move.
After two hours, the Evil God Beard around seemed to have shrunk to the bottom of the bronze tablet. Han Sen hid his lifeforce. His senses were very weak. He did not know if there were any Evil God Beard around.
Suddenly, Han Sen heard Ancient Devil's voice. Someone was getting up. Aside from Ancient Devil, there was no one else.
Han Sen did not dare move. He opened his eyes a little and looked at Ancient Devil. He saw Ancient Devil sit up. He was sitting cross-legged. He was like an ancient Buddha. His hands were moving. His lips were moving, but he did not make a sound.
Ancient Devil did that, but the Evil God Whiskers around did not approach him. Instead, Han Sen opened his eyes a little, and the Evil God Whiskers around seemed to notice him. Many of the Evil God Whiskers that looked like sea snakes turned toward him.
Han Sen knew Ancient Devil was prepared, but he did not understand how Ancient Devil had done it.
Ancient Devil slowly stood up. He looked as casual as usual, but the Evil God Beard did not attack him.
Ancient Devil smiled at Han Sen and said, "Mister Han, I am leaving now. If we are fated to meet again, we will meet again."
After that, Ancient Devil went to the back of the bronze tablet and disappeared.
Han Sen wanted to follow him, but the Evil God Whiskers were all around him. Han Sen had to resist the urge. He hid his presence and pretended to be dead.
"I am afraid I cannot learn what Ancient Devil just did. How do I get rid of these Evil God Whiskers?
What is behind the bronze tablet?
Is it the entrance to the grave where the God Chaos Party leader is buried? "Han Sen's mind flashed with countless possibilities.
Although he really wanted to know where Ancient Devil had gone and what he had found, Han Sen knew it was pointless to rush things. He had to calm down and find a way to escape.
Creak!
Creak!
While Han Sen was thinking about how he might get rid of the Evil God Whiskers and chase after Ancient Devil, he suddenly heard a weird noise. It was like someone was grinding their teeth while sleeping.
"What is that?"
Han Sen hid his five senses. He pretended to be dead. He could not tell what it was, but if he did not hide it, he would trigger the Evil God Whiskers.
Han Sen was hesitant. He did not know if he should open his eyes to see what was making that noise. The noise was getting closer and closer to him. It was like it was right next to him.
His ears heard the creaking noise. It was like something was touching his hair. Han Sen could not hold it in any longer. He opened his eyes and was given a shock.
In front of him was a white shadow. It was the little white beast that looked like a white mouse and a weasel. It was squatting in front of Han Sen. Its teeth were grinding. It made that creaking noise.
What surprised Han Sen the most was that the white mouse was grinding its teeth and waving its claws as it tried to crawl around him. Despite that, the Evil God Beard didn't react. The Evil God Beard was still far away from him, but it didn't seem to want to come any closer. It was as if it was afraid of the white mouse.
Even though Han Sen had opened his eyes and was no longer playing dead, the Evil God's Beard continued to stare at him. It didn't come after him like before, which surprised Han Sen. He thought to himself, "This little white mouse is not ordinary."
The little white mouse saw Han Sen open his eyes. It turned around and crawled to the side of the bronze tablet. It was going in the same direction as Ancient Devil.
Han Sen quickly got up. He followed the little white mouse.
The Evil God's Beard felt Han Sen's presence, and it became restless. It looked as if it wanted to rush over, but after a while, it stopped. It was as if it didn't want to get too close to the little white mouse.
Han Sen was very happy. He sped up to catch up with the little white mouse.
The little white mouse was much faster than Han Sen. It ran behind the bronze tablet. Han Sen ran after it, but he did not see Ancient Devil behind the bronze tablet. There was no hole like Han Sen had imagined. It was a complete bronze tablet. There was no gap.
"Weird. The bronze tablet does not have an entrance. Where did Ancient Devil go?" Han Sen frowned.
While Han Sen was thinking, the little white mouse jumped off the bottom of the bronze tablet. It landed in the dark water. Many Evil God Whiskers were dancing in the water. After the little white mouse jumped in, the Evil God Whiskers scattered. No one dared touch it.
Han Sen did not have another way to go. He gritted his teeth and jumped in with the little white mouse. He saw the little white mouse lift its butt and dive into the water.
Han Sen dove down, too. He saw the Evil God's Whiskers growing beneath the bronze tablet. They were like seaweed that had taken root in the bronze tablet's base. They were like poisonous snakes that had half their bodies in a hole. God knew how many Evil God's Whiskers were down there.
The little white mouse dived seven or eight meters. Everywhere it went, it saw the base of the Evil God Whiskers. There were so many of them that it was impossible to see what the bronze tablet's base looked like.
