Chapter 442

Chu Tian believed that this artifact might be related to the controller. CHAPTER 954

He said: "We must find a way to approach that priest and see if we can get clues about the controller from him."

Chen Chen Zihao and Ding Ding Xiaoyu agreed, and they decided to formulate a plan.

After discussing, the three decided to disguise themselves as members of the tribe in order to blend into the tribe.

To understand the secrets of the tribe more deeply, they carefully observed the clothing and attire of the tribe members, imitating their habits and speech.

Chen Chen Zihao was responsible for making the makeup props, while Chu Tian and Ding Ding Xiaoyu were responsible for collecting the tribe’s dialect and some common vocabulary.

After some effort, they finally succeeded in disguising themselves as members of the tribe and began approaching the tribe.

After blending into the tribe, they quickly integrated into the life of the tribe.

They helped with hunting and gathering food, building good relationships with the members of the tribe.

Through their interactions with the tribe members, they slowly learned about the history and beliefs of the tribe.

One day, they learned that the priest was going to hold an important ritual.

This ritual would take place inside a mysterious temple, and all members of the tribe were required to attend.

They thought this was an excellent opportunity to get close to the priest and learn the secret of that mysterious artifact.

On the day of the ritual, they followed the tribe members to the temple.

The interior of the temple was very solemn and respectful, with murals and sculptures displaying the tribe’s beliefs and mythological legends.

The priest held the mysterious artifact and prayed loudly, and a mysterious atmosphere permeated the temple.

The priest mentioned the power to control life and death during the ritual.

He said that their deity had bestowed upon the tribe a mysterious treasure, which could control life and death and give the tribe eternal vitality.

Chu Tian, Chen Chen Zihao, and Ding Ding Xiaoyu realized that this treasure was very likely that mysterious artifact.

After the ritual ended, they decided to try approaching the priest.

Seeking an opportunity to reveal the secret of the controller.

They told the priest that they were full of reverence and curiosity about the deity and the artifact.

A flash of suspicion crossed the priest’s eyes, but he finally decided to show them the mysterious artifact.

Ding Xiaoyu’s eyes widened, her heart full of curiosity; she felt that the power of this artifact might be related to the controller they were pursuing.

She realized she had to find a way to get this artifact.

After the ritual ended, Ding Xiaoyu managed to strike up a conversation with the priest.

The priest said: "This artifact has been the guardian object of our tribe since ancient times; it contains mysterious power.

Since you are so interested, I will let you witness its charm."

After speaking, the priest led Ding Xiaoyu to a hidden room.

This room was filled with a mysterious aura, and the murals on the walls depicted ancient deities and the legends of the tribe.

The priest took the artifact out of an exquisite wooden box and handed it to Ding Xiaoyu.

Ding Xiaoyu took the artifact and felt the strong energy it emitted.

She wanted to take this opportunity to see if she could extract information about the controller from him.

She asked: "Respected priest, can you tell me more stories and legends about this artifact? I want to understand how it affects life and death, and its origin with our tribe."

The priest stared at Ding Xiaoyu, his gaze revealing a hint of vigilance: "The secret of this artifact cannot be revealed at will; you need to prove your loyalty and courage.

For now, you only need to know that it possesses powerful strength and can sway life and death."

Ding Xiaoyu understood that it would not be easy to get more information from the priest. CHAPTER 955

She needed to find other methods.

So she expressed her gratitude and respectfully returned the artifact to the priest.

In the following days, Ding Xiaoyu continued to maintain contact with the priest, trying to deeply understand the secret of the artifact.

She also informed Chu Tian and Chen Chen Zihao of what she had seen and heard, discussing how to get their hands on the artifact.

Night fell, the moonlight was blocked by thick clouds, and a dull atmosphere permeated the sky.

Chu Tian, Ding Ding Xiaoyu, and Chen Chen Zihao moved forward cautiously in the darkness; their target was the priest’s residence.

They quietly passed along the tribe’s path, avoiding the patrolling tribe members.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu swallowed nervously and whispered: "We must act carefully; we cannot let anyone discover our whereabouts."

Chu Tian nodded gently; he felt an atmosphere tonight that was different from before.

He looked around vigilantly, unable to help but sigh at the impermanence of fate.

From being the pursuers of the mastermind, they had now become infiltrators of this tribe.

After crossing an overgrown clearing, they finally arrived at the outskirts of the priest’s residence.

The priest’s house looked ordinary, but the surrounding plants and mysterious totems highlighted its extraordinary status.

Chen Chen Zihao reached out his hand, signaling everyone to get closer.

He whispered: "I’ll go scout the situation around here; after ensuring it’s safe, we’ll act."

After speaking, he nimbly passed through the bushes around the house and disappeared into the night.

A moment later, Chen Chen Zihao returned to Chu Tian and Ding Ding Xiaoyu’s side and reported: "There are no tribe members patrolling around; we can start our action."

The three walked on tiptoe to the back of the priest’s house and found a window.

Chu Tian explored with his hand and discovered that the window was not locked.

He gently pushed the window open and carefully leaped into the room, followed by Ding Ding Xiaoyu and Chen Chen Zihao.

The room was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, and various strange decorations and mysterious totems hung on the walls.

Moonlight shone in through the window, spilling onto the floor and casting eerie light and shadows.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu pointed to an exquisite wooden box and whispered: "The artifact should be in there." Chu Tian and Chen Chen Zihao nodded in agreement; they approached the wooden box and discovered that the mysterious artifact was placed on top of it.

Just as Chen Chen Zihao obtained the artifact, Chu Tian suddenly sensed a slight movement behind them.

0 ········Begging for flowers·· ········

He instantly realized something was wrong, turned around, and saw the old priest standing at the door, glaring at them.

Chen Chen Zihao and Ding Ding Xiaoyu also sensed this sudden crisis; the three looked at each other, and after a brief moment of shock, they immediately took action.

Chu Tian quickly pulled Ding Ding Xiaoyu and Chen Chen Zihao and rushed toward the window; their figures sped through the moonlight like a bolt of lightning.

0 ........ 0

The old priest roared and hurriedly called for tribe members to catch them.

Chu Tian felt a strong murderous aura behind him and said nervously to Chen Chen Zihao and Ding Ding Xiaoyu: "We must escape from here quickly, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu gripped the artifact tightly and nodded firmly.

Chen Chen Zihao said with a hint of worry: "We’ve angered the entire tribe this time; what should we do?"

Chu Tian did not answer, because he didn't have an answer either.

They hurried through the dense forest, with the sound of pursuit getting closer and closer behind them.

Along the way, they encountered all kinds of dangers, but they continued forward without fear, just to survive and find the mastermind. CHAPTER 956
