"Do you still want to leave here?" The stone sculpture's eyes lit up, as if it was convinced by Chen Ze.

"Of course I want to leave. Aren't you already dead? Then take us away quickly!" Chen Ze said hurriedly.

"I can't leave!" the stone sculpture refused again.

"Then what do you want to do?" Chen Ze was a little impatient. He had gone to great lengths to run into this damn place just to explore it, but this guy kept blocking his way and wouldn't let him pass. How could he get through?
"I want you to help me get revenge!" the stone sculpture suddenly spoke.

Chen Ze was stunned after hearing this. He asked him to help him get revenge? Is this guy crazy?
"Are you stupid? How can you let outsiders do something like revenge? You should do it yourself. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone. As long as you take us away from here, I will help you get revenge next time I have a chance. Don't you like carving? I will give you as many carvings as you want. What do you think?" Chen Ze coaxed the stone sculpture.

"Well, what you said makes sense. I'll do as you say!" The stone sculpture nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's go. Take me away quickly!" Chen Ze said happily.

The stone sculpture waved his hand, signaling Chen Ze to wait a moment.

Chen Ze asked in confusion: "What are you waiting for? I still have things to do!"

The stone sculpture said: "You just said that you would accept all the works I carved?" Chen Ze nodded. This guy wouldn't really want him to carve for him, right? Chen Ze wouldn't do that.

Chen Ze muttered in his heart: "If you want to trick me into carving for you, then you are overthinking. My craftsmanship is not something that can be obtained casually. I don't ask for much. Just carve a hundred or eighty pieces and let me make money. As for the price, you can negotiate it yourself!"

Seeing Chen Ze nod, the stone sculpture began to talk nonstop, "Then carve 2,000 pieces for me!"

"Fuck, are you robbing me? You only have three stone sculptures here, where did the two thousand come from? Besides, you give me 50,000 yuan for carving a statue, so if I carve two thousand, that would be 200,000 yuan. Plus, I don't care about your previous sneak attack on me, you have to compensate me for my mental damages!" Chen Zeshi opened his mouth loudly.

Lin Wenxin was holding back her laughter. Chen Ze was really good at talking nonsense. It was clearly him who broke someone else's jade pendant, but now he was the one being bullied. Chen Ze was too shameless!
"You are such a dishonest person. I have been kind enough to give you the jade pendant, and you still want to blackmail me. Believe it or not, I will find a matchmaker to introduce you to a brothel and sell you!" The stone sculpture glared at Chen Ze fiercely, as if threatening Chen Ze.

Chen Ze shrank his neck in fear, "A good man never brags about his past achievements. Since you don't want to leave, I'm leaving!"

"Stop, I haven't finished yet! I will carve one hundred for you, and you carve two hundred. You are not allowed to refuse to pay me!" The stone sculpture continued to speak in a lion-like voice.

"Okay, deal! But you have to ensure my safety." Chen Ze readily agreed. As long as he could get out, he wouldn't mind spending some money. He wouldn't lose anything anyway.

Chen Ze agreed so readily that Shi Diao was a little hesitant.

"Are you sure you want to carve so many?" the stone sculpture said worriedly.

"Yeah!" Chen Ze nodded.

"Can you carve?" the stone sculpture asked doubtfully.

"you do not believe me?"

"Believe it!" said the stone sculpture firmly.

After Chen Ze reached an agreement with the stone sculpture, he began to prepare tools. Lin Wenxin also helped Chen Ze take out tools such as pens, ink, paper and inkstone from the space.

The two sat together, ready to start drawing, but Chen Ze did not draw lines. Instead, he first sketched the outline of the interior of the valley, because based on this picture, Chen Ze could infer the environment inside the valley.

Eventually, the two drew a castle on paper.

After Chen Ze finished painting, he looked up at the sky, but it was just a dark patch of sky, with nothing else, not even a single star.
The stone sculpture also stopped painting and waited quietly for Chen Ze's comments. Although only half of the body was left of the stone sculpture, it was still alive.

Shi Diao really hopes that Chen Ze can give him a satisfactory answer.

Chen Ze was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Do you know where this place is?"

"This is my tomb!" the stone sculpture replied.

"Then do you know who you are?" Chen Ze asked again.

"Know!"

"Then do you know why you died?" Chen Ze asked again.

"Because there are monsters!" said the stone sculpture. "Then why are you buried here?"

"I was killed by a monster!"

"Then why can't I see the monster? Are you trying to scare me on purpose?"

Chen Ze asked a bunch of questions, but got no answers.

Chen Ze finally chose to compromise, "Forget it, forget it, I won't ask anymore, I'd better leave first, and don't expect me to avenge you!"

Stone Sculpture: "No! Didn't you say that all the works I carved belong to you? I don't want you to break your promise. Let's work together to eliminate those monsters, and then I will carve a few works for you."

Chen Ze: "Haha, you think I'm short of it. Let me tell you, I lack everything except works."

Stone Sculpture: "What should we do? Is it possible that we really can't get out?"

Chen Ze: "No, there will always be a way."

"What should we do then?" the stone sculpture asked.

Chen Ze thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you teach me how to carve first!"

"No!" The stone sculpture shook his head.

"Why not?" Chen Ze asked.

"You are a human, and what I carved is a monster, and the monster is a devil!" Chen Ze: "..."

Chen Ze stopped paying attention to the stone sculpture and turned to ask Lin Wenxin, "Sister Wenxin, what do you think we should do?"

Lin Wenxin: "Just leave it alone. You are a man, so you won't suffer any loss. I am a girl, so I won't suffer any loss either. I think that's right."

Chen Ze: “….”

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't ignore me, you two. I'm talking to you. Think carefully. This place is really dangerous. You are looking for death. I tell you, there are monsters in here!"

Chen Ze and Lin Wenxin looked at each other and said in unison: "Get lost!"

The stone sculpture suddenly became angry and slapped the two of them, angrily cursing: "You bastards, I'm talking to you about business, you little brats, stay away!"

"Why is your stone so annoying?" Chen Ze kicked it with disgust.

"Bang~"

"Crack!"

The stone sculpture flew out on the spot, creating a huge hole, and it took a long time to get up.

"What the hell!" The stone sculpture crawled out of the ruins, furious.

It's a mysterious stone, but it was bullied by two little brats!

"Just wait and see! When I regain my memory, I will eat you alive!" The stone sculpture gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Huh? Your memory recovered pretty quickly!" Chen Ze stared at the stone sculpture with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Hmph! Don't be so arrogant, little brat. One day, I will return to the top! And then I will kill you first!" The stone sculpture snorted coldly, then turned and left, ready to settle accounts with the ancestor of the Styx.

"This stone seems to know me." Chen Ze frowned and thought, always feeling that he had seen stone sculptures before.

Not long after, the stone sculpture returned to the side of the Styx Patriarch and said angrily: "Ancestor, are we going to retreat? The Styx Patriarch's Styx has disappeared, and now our advantage is gone."

The atmosphere in the ancient tomb became strange. (End of this chapter)
