Zeke was greatly disappointed. “Do you have a way to find Erebus or contact him?”
Golden Cicada shook his head again. “I'm sorry, I don't.”
D*mn it!
Infuriated, Sole Wolf grabbed Golden Cicada's collar and handily lifted him into the air. “Are you taking us for a fool?
You can't answer any of our questions! Fine, let me show you the consequences of messing with us!”
Then he acted as though he was going to rip Golden Cicada to shreds.
Petrified, Golden Cicada hurriedly clarified, “Wait, wait, wait! I know a place where you may find Erebus. Please
don't kill me! I beg you!”
Zeke glanced at Sole Wolf, to which the latter responded by throwing Golden Cicada to the ground.
Indifferently, Zeke urged, “Tell me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGolden Cicada disclosed, “I suddenly remember a place Erebus mentioned in the past. He said I should seek him
out in Tiger's Cave if there's an emergency. I think he probably resides there.”
“And where is this Tiger's Cave?” asked Zeke right away.
“In the Northern Faction's territory. It's halfway up a very isolated mountain.”
Zeke grabbed Golden Cicada and commanded, “Take me to it.”
“Okay, okay, I'll take you all to Tiger's Cave. However, can you spare me in return?”
Zeke sneered, “You don't have the right to negotiate with me yet! If you take me there, I can't guarantee that you'll
live. However, if you refuse, I'll grant you a fate worse than death!”
There were no other options for Golden Cicada to pick from except obeying Zeke.
Thus, he led the way and took Zeke to Tiger's Cave.
It was a naturally-formed cave with a narrow entrance. While it was very dark inside, the interior was pretty wide.
Thus, Zeke had no issue ambling into the cave.
When he tried to sense what was in the cave, he picked up remnants of Erebus' negative energy. It seems like he
has been residing here for a while. Then again, he should already know this cave is exposed, so it's unlikely he'll
return here.
Upon releasing his energy, Zeke examined every corner of Tiger's Cave.
The cave was crude and simple, so it didn't take long for him to wrap up his investigation.
He was saddened when he didn't notice anything unusual.
Just as he was about to leave, Ossa Dei abruptly communicated with him through telepathy. “Wait. There's
something in the southwest corner. Go and take a look at what's there.”
Frowning, Zeke swept his gaze past the southwest corner and found nothing. “Perhaps you're mistaken, Ossa Dei.
I'm not sensing anything special.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZeke sneered, “You don't have the right to negotiate with me yet! If you take me there, I can't guarantee that you'll
live. However, if you refuse, I'll grant you a fate worse than death!”
“Maybe... it's a relic of the Ancient Gods. If that's the case, it's only normal you can't sense it, for only those who are
connected with the Ancient Gods can.”
Therefore, Zeke followed Ossa Dei's instructions and stepped toward that corner.
After a detailed inspection, he found a strand of hair in the corner.
If he hadn't inspected closely, there was no way he could've found it.
Zeke studied the hair in surprise. Although, it didn't seem to be any different from an ordinary person's hair.
Hence, he inquired, “Don't tell me this is a strand of hair of the Ancient Gods.”
“The aura I sensed came from this hair strand. It retains a considerable amount of vitality, which means it was shed
from its owner's body not too long ago. So, the Ancient Gods still exist, and they could be living on Theos Island
now. If I can find them, they may be able to restore my true form!” Despite Ossa Dei's hope, he was almost fully
merged into Zeke's body.
Even if they were to encounter the Ancient Gods, it was unlikely they could help him.
Carefully, Zeke picked up the strand of hair, stunned.
