Chapter 1321: The Most Ridiculous and Correct Answer
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Jackal” Ka.n.u.s smiled bitterly.
This cunning Corpse-eating Dog had seemingly never told the truth.
For the first time, he actually did not know where to start.
“Listen, it’s precisely because I want to work with you for a long time, win-win, and not just one-time deal. After obtaining the Holy Mountain’s inheritance, we’ll break up or even kill each other. That’s why I’m telling you the truth, even if the truth sounds contradictory and ridiculous.”
The Wolf King seriously said, “If I want to lie to you, I can completely fabricate one… no, a hundred reasonable lies. I can guarantee that you won’t see any flaws, and I won’t use such a flawed truth to attract your suspicion.
“Haven’t you heard of such a saying? ‘only lies are perfect, the truth doesn’t follow logic’!
“As for the reason why we didn’t go deep into the sacred mountain temple even though we opened it last time… it was because we were attacked at a critical moment.”
“Attacked?”
Meng Chao raised his eyebrows. “Attacked by whom?
“Why didn’t I find any traces of a fierce battle at the bottom of the giant cave?
“Also, if someone really attacked your previous exploration team and stopped you from entering the Sacred Mountain Temple, what about the attackers? “Why didn’t the attackers go deep into the temple and investigate? “What makes you so sure that the attackers haven’t discovered the secret of the temple of the sacred mountain and are even hiding in the depths of the temple, preparing a trap for us that will definitely kill us?”
A series of questions left the Wolf King speechless.
He opened his mouth and was stunned for a while before saying, “With your wisdom, it’s hard for me to explain to you.”
Meng Chao asked, “What’s that?”
Wolf king said, “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not targeting you. I’m saying that what happened to me was bizarre and unbelievable. No one would be able to understand or believe it.
“Only when you obtain the inheritance of the sacred mountain and possess the power to destroy the world and make you realize that I don’t need to lie to you at all will you be able to believe even a tiny bit of it.”
Meng Chao could not help but laugh.
The more he thought about “Jackal”ka.n.u.s, the more interesting he became.
Speaking of the “Bizarre and unbelievable”experience, in the entire foreign world, who was more familiar with it than him?
Even the “Return from the apocalypse”incident had happened to him.
He really wanted to know what else was unbelievable to him as a reincarnated person.
Speaking of which, Meng Chao could feel that the Wolf King was telling the truth.
The size of this fellow’s pupils, the changes in his facial expressions, the rhythm of his breathing and heartbeat, and even the speed of his hormones and sweat secretion did not meet the standards of a liar.
Of course, once he had cultivated to the level of the Wolf King, it was very likely that he would be able to perfectly control every hair and gooseflesh on his body, spouting out a huge lie that even Meng Chao could not see through.
However, just as he said, if he really had the ability to lie to Meng Chao’s eyes, he could lie as he pleased.
He could fabricate a hundred reasonable and intricate lies to explain everything that happened to him and contradicted himself.
There was no need to insult Meng Chao’s intelligence with such a flawed ‘truth’.
So, did the wolf king really come here and open the Sacred Mountain Temple, but at the critical moment, he was attacked by a mysterious enemy?
But there was indeed no sign of a fierce battle here. Even the magic storm above the giant hole was broken through for the first time.
Suppose these two contradictory facts existed at the same time.
Then..
A cold wind that could freeze all brain cells suddenly hung in Meng Chao’s mind.
His pupils instantly contracted into two needle tips.
When the frozen brain cells burst one after another, a sentence that “Jackal”ka.n.u.s had just said popped out from the gaps of the brain cells.
Meng Chao remembered that when he asked the wolf king if he had ever been to the top of the sacred mountain, the wolf king’s answer was “Never before”.
Condition One: The Wolf King had never been to the summit of the sacred mountain in the past.
Condition Two: other than this time, the Wolf King had indeed been to the summit of the sacred mountain. He had even broken through the magic storm and went deep into the bottom of the giant cave to open the Sacred Mountain Temple. He had also encountered the attack of a mysterious enemy.
Question: When was the last time the Wolf King came to the summit of the Sacred Mountain?
After getting rid of all the wrong answers, the only one that seemed ridiculous and absolutely impossible for anyone to believe was the correct answer that was theoretically possible:
In the future..
“Ka-cha!”
An ear-piercing explosion suddenly came from under Meng Chao’s feet.
He staggered and his left foot had already stepped deeply into the ground, creating a hole in the ground.
It turned out that the ground where he and the Wolf King stood was not a hard and thick layer of rock, but a thin layer of metal deck.
The internal deck of the ancient Turan s.p.a.ceship was obviously not as solid as the outer sh.e.l.l made of super alloy materials.
After tens of thousands of years of erosion, they were as fragile as boards that had been gnawed by termites.
Many parts of the decks were barely connected by rust.
Meng Chao was agitated and lost control of his spiritual energy. He accidentally exerted too much power to his feet. Like the war stomp of a tyrant mammoth, he naturally pierced through the decks that were covered in rust.
Meng Chao hurriedly pulled out his feet.
Through the hole, he saw that it was pitch-black below, as if it was an abyss.
Narrowing his eyes, he stimulated his cone cells and activated his night vision ability. He could only vaguely see that there were also crisscrossing tubes below, as if countless giant pythons were crossing each other, it was also like the internal organs of a giant steel beast that was entangled together.
Lying on the deck, his ears reached into the hole, and he listened attentively. He could hear the rumbling sounds coming from the depths of the tubes.
It was as if Thunder was rolling over from the horizon, waking up the giant steel beast that had been dormant for three thousand years.
Accompanied by the rolling thunder, the air flow gradually increased. It was as if countless giant industrial fans had been adjusted to the highest speed, continuously pouring fresh air into the Sacred Mountain Temple.
Meng Chao even smelled a very thin amount of spiritual energy.
He felt relaxed and happy, eager to try.
It seemed that the sacred mountain temple had woken up and discovered the arrival of two uninvited guests.
“Are you okay?”
The Wolf King also heard the voice coming from the depths of the deck and sensed that Meng Chao’s nerves were instantly stretched to the limit, resulting in stiffness.
He thought that Meng Chao was nervous about the awakening of the Sacred Mountain Temple.
“I’m fine.”
Meng Chao took a deep breath and rubbed his face with both hands. He glanced at the Wolf King and said, “Alright, I believe that you really don’t know anything about the inner structure of the Sacred Mountain Temple. Then I don’t understand where your confidence comes from. What plans do you have for the next exploration?”
“My Plan is to adapt to the situation.”
The Wolf King grinned. He was still confident that victory was within his grasp, “I believe that the heavens have led me here step by step for a reason. They don’t necessarily want me to turn into a pile of ordinary bones in the depths of the Sacred Mountain Temple, right?”
“The guidance of the heavens…”
The corners of Meng Chao’s mouth twitched. “So Casual?”
However, from the results of the memory fragments from his previous life, such a simple and crude, random, and unplanned exploration mission was actually succeeded by the Wolf King.
Should he say that he was blessed to the heavens, or… there was a deeper reason?
Just as Meng Chao was deep in thought.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a gray shadow flashing past the few pipes on their upper right.
The pipes immediately let out a slight sc.r.a.ping sound.
“There’s something!”
Meng Chao and the Wolf King looked at each other.
If they chased after it, it was highly likely that they would step into a trap.
However, staying where they were did not mean that everything would be fine.
The ancestral spirits did not like their descendants who were too timid to advance.
The Lion King and Tiger King’s team were even more desperate, rushing towards them with murderous intent.
Since they knew nothing about the internal structure of the Sacred Mountain Temple, no matter which direction they went, it was likely to be a dead end.
They might as well follow this most obvious clue and go forward bravely, seeking survival in the midst of death!
“Chase after them!”
The two of them made a decision at the same time.
To Meng Chao, his determination was easier than the Wolf King’s.
This was because the memory fragments from his previous life told him that the Wolf King had finally succeeded.
Then, as long as Meng Chao used the “Follow strategy”and trusted the Wolf King’s Intuition, he would definitely be able to turn the situation around.
The two of them soared into the air like two big birds with rocket boosters installed on their b.u.t.ts.
They shot toward the pipeline where the Gray Shadow had disappeared.
In case the front of the pipeline was also eroded by the pa.s.sage of ten thousand years, the pipeline that was covered in rust spots and even distorted and cracked was once again stomped by them, creating transparent holes.
The two of them operated the magnetic levitation force and moved forward as light as a feather, their feet not touching the dust.
Even so, when their toes lightly tapped on the pipe, it still stirred up a huge echo in the depths of the pipe.
Crisscrossing, thousands of pipes seemed to be connected together.
The sound they made seemed to be magnified a hundred times, flowing between the pipes without end.
The gray figure in front that was fleeing in a panic heard the sound of them catching up, and appeared to be even more panicked.
However, it was unknown whether it had just woken up from its long sleep of 3,000 years with the Sacred Mountain Temple, and its limbs were still a little out of sync.
Or perhaps, it was just like the remains of the angel of slaughter on the ancient battlefield 3,000 years ago. It was severely injured and lost a lot of parts and organs.
In short, it was staggering and staggering, and its posture was very comical. Several times, it almost slipped down from the pipes and slipped into the countless pipes. A bone-piercing cold wind came from it, and it went into the bottomless crevices.
Meng Chao and the Wolf King quickly approached the Gray Shadow.
With the help of the light that came from G.o.d knows where, their sharp eyes outlined the outline of the Gray Shadow.
The gray shadow was like a giant spider.
On its slightly bloated body, there were only four thin and long limbs covered with thorns.
And a wrinkled, wet, human-like head!
