Chapter 2124 (two thousand one hundred and twenty-four) more
Tiewan Dao looked in the direction he pointed and saw that the black insect had dug its two sharp legs into the cushion and was pulling the cloth in one direction.
"It was near the picture... pattern just now, and now it is at this location. The two places are not far apart. This pad should be pulled over by the black insect. This black insect is too strong!" said the subordinate.
Tie Wandao also felt that the black insect was unexpectedly powerful, but said: "It turns out it was this insect that did it! I thought something strange had happened!"
The men stood in front of the patterned stone, clasped their hands in front of their chests, and muttered something silently to the pattern, to the effect that they came here with no ill intentions and hoped they would not be harmed.
Tie Wandao waited for his subordinates to put their hands apart and then said, "You are really pious."
The subordinate said: "Yes, Chief. I really hope nothing... will happen."
"But, if things are as you said just now, and the pattern really glows orange, something has already happened." Tie Wandao said.
"I hope... nothing bad will happen," the subordinate said.
Tie Wandao said: "I still hope! Tell me, you must have read it correctly. You really saw what you said, right?"
"Yes." The subordinate said with fear, "I don't dare to talk nonsense."
"Did you see any other strange things just now?" Tie Wandao asked, "If so, tell me everything."
"In my impression...at that time...I didn't see other...other strange things." The subordinate looked into Tie Wandao's eyes as he spoke, but couldn't understand what he was thinking. The men still had fear in their hearts.
Tie Wandao said: "Tell me, after you told me about the matter, I came here to wait for the matter to appear. Why can't I wait immediately?"
The subordinates were a little afraid that Tie Wandao wanted to punish him, so he said tremblingly: "I also hope that after I tell...to the clan leader, the clan leader can...can wait for me soon."
Tie Wandao said: "Why do you always stutter when talking to me during this time?"
"Because I'm... afraid," the subordinate said.
"What are you afraid of?" Tie Wandao asked.
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid of a lot." The subordinate replied.
"Are you afraid of strange phenomena, or are you afraid of me?" Tie Wandao asked. "They're all...all afraid," the subordinate said.
"Then do you think it's the strange phenomenon that's more terrifying, or me?" Tie Wandao asked.
The subordinate said: "This...I won't compare with this."
"If there's anything you can't compare with, wouldn't it scare you?" Tie Wandao continued to ask.
The subordinate said: "No...it's different."
"Why is it different?" Tie Wandao asked.
The subordinate replied: "Chief, you... you are a human being..."
"Yes, do you mean that humans will never be stronger than monsters no matter what?" Tie Wandao said.
"No...that's not what I meant." The subordinate said.
"Then you mean that I must be more powerful than the monster?" Tie Wandao continued.
The subordinate knew that he was close to the patterned stone, and he was worried that he would be harmed by ghosts if he spoke nonsense, so he did not dare to say anything and smiled.
"What does laughter mean?" Tie Wandao asked.
"In short, the clan leader is very powerful... powerful!" said his subordinate.
Tie Wandao said, "You don't tell me, but I know I'm powerful."
The men nodded.
Tie Wandao asked: "Since you think I am so powerful, why are you still afraid of this and that after arriving in a place like this?"
