Dragging someone along is quite impolite.
Both psychologically and physiologically, it's highly injurious and insulting.
Of course, when there's no ability to resist, one can only endure this humiliation in silence.
The lake bottom is an endless darkness.
Su Huai didn't know how long he had been dragged, only aware that the water pressure around him was becoming increasingly heavy, his skin had begun to crack, and he was forced to close his eyes, adapting to the surroundings with his senses.
Boom!!!
The tentacle that entwined him suddenly halted, then raised high, tossing Su Huai into a place of broken walls and ruins.
Su Huai gritted his teeth against the pain, propping himself up, and "looked" around.
The centipede-like creature perched on a broken giant pillar, motionless, seemingly having completed its task and fallen into a deep slumber.
This was a vast ruin.
It somewhat resembled the ancient Western European architecture on Earth.
The place where Su Huai was thrown was a circular plaza with a diameter of several thousand meters.
On the edge of the plaza stood thirteen enormous statues.
They bowed and knelt towards the center of the plaza, as if worshipping their king.
In the center of the plaza, there was a pile of various bones.
Above the bones was a towering golden throne, and on the throne sat a corpse.
Its skin was grayish-black, with six arms; the lowest pair crossed over the abdomen, the middle pair made a seal at the chest, and the top pair were spread out to the sides, each holding a dark ring.
Its head was slightly raised, its eyes turbid.
[The Deity's Corpse]: One of the rulers of death who once dominated a region in ancient history, fell in the divine war, and was buried along with the Dead Abyss in a corner of the world, to sink eternally.
Su Huai's hands and feet turned ice-cold.
He always respected the elders who had passed away and never explored the tombs of others... cough, of course, if someone else had already explored it, then his exploration wouldn't be disturbing the ancestors' rest, right?
To put it bluntly, he was just afraid of death!
Who knows if those ghosts didn't leave any traps in their own tombs.
Just like the deity's corpse in front of him.
Su Huai couldn't help but open his eyes, risking the burst of blood vessels, to take a closer look.
The Insightful Eye, after all, is a divine object mediated by his eyes; with just perception, it couldn't provide too much useful information.
With the enhancement of the Insightful Eye, Su Huai indeed saw more things!
There was a tiny hole in the forehead of the corpse.
It was the only wound on its body!
If you looked even more carefully, you could see a glint of metal in that hole, as if it had been pierced by something, with the weapon fully embedded in the brain.
It was very likely to have died from this strike!
Su Huai swallowed his saliva, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no other living beings around, he slowly moved to the other side of the square and looked again at the isolated throne on the pile of corpses.
Indeed!
An arrow had pierced through the throne and the deity's head, with most of the arrow exposed on the back of the throne.
Even after endless years, the arrowhead still contained a chilling edge.
[The Arrow of Death]: One of the divine tools once used by the God of Death, seemingly to express his appreciation for this overreacher, the deity of death did not take away this arrow that killed the overreacher, but let it sink with the corpse of the overreacher.
A divine tool!
Damn it! An undamaged, complete divine tool!
Even if it's just an arrow, there's no matching bow.
But it's a divine tool! What more do you want, a bicycle!
I just don't know if this deity's corpse is really dead.
Well, the Insightful Eye is definitely not wrong, but just like the Moon God in the Moon Spirit Realm, the death of the divine body doesn't mean they don't have something like a reincarnation trick.
Don't you see the corpse of the Sun God Helios hanging in the sky of the Multi-Race Battlefield for hundreds of thousands of years, and no one has successfully obtained that divine corpse?
Everyone is obviously very greedy, right?
But Helios is Helios, and the one in front of him is not Helios.
At least according to Su Huai's speculation, the level of this deity's corpse should be lower.
Because he learned from Artemis that the deceased Moon God also had a divine position of the God of Mind, and the Sun God Helios also had a divine position of the God of Elements.
These two big guys, judging from their divine names, should be at the same level as that God of Death,
and the deity's corpse in front of him just happened to be killed by the God of Death.
It was even nailed to death on the throne, and it seems that it didn't even make any effective resistance...
The most important thing is that this deity's corpse is right in front of him! There's a divine tool on it!
Maybe even more than one?
Su Huai shifted his gaze to the top two hands of the corpse.
To be precise, he looked at the rings in its hands.
[The Silent Funeral Prayer Rings]: The favorite weapon of a domain god who was proficient in the power of death before his death, with his passing, this pair of divine tools that once made countless creatures tremble also lost their former edge.
Look at that! Another divine tool!
Can you resist not trying?
One is one thing, but there are two divine tools here!
This temptation... it's like suddenly seeing a set of Iron Man armor on the road, and as long as you put it on, you have more than a 50% chance of becoming Tony Stark.
Can you really sleep at night without trying?
Anyway, Su Huai couldn't resist, no matter how cautious he was, he couldn't resist this temptation.
Especially when the deity is already dead.
The centipede-like creature can live here, which means there should be nothing here that can threaten it, which means that even if this deity has a trick, it's probably not too strong.
Otherwise, it would have left the lake bottom and resurrected itself.
After a series of brainstorming, Su Huai still cautiously took the first step.
He began to test, such as taking out a few empty small jade bottles from the storage ring and throwing them at the deity's head.
Or changing the "formless" in his hand into a bow, and then retreating far away, shooting arrows at the deity.
Although he shot several arrows in a row without breaking the defense, Su Huai at least confirmed that the other party's trick wouldn't be too strong, and it was a situation where he could be so humiliated by a national town and couldn't trigger it.
So Su Huai's courage increased a bit.
He signaled Hei Ye, who had just caught up and was coiled around the square, to hold his waist with his tail, ready to spring up and escape quickly at any time.
Then he himself boldly approached the golden throne, climbed up the countless bones piled under the throne, like a rebellious minister, facing the king who had lost his momentum.
He clasped his hands, bowed to the silent corpse.
"Excuse me, you can't bring it when you're born, and you can't take it when you die, don't blame, don't blame."
After a sincere apology, he stepped on the edge of the throne with his foot and reached for the ring on the hand of the deity's corpse.
