My Disciples are Too Idiotic

Chapter 441 303: Weird Ancient God? Smash His Head! (Please Subscribe)

Upon seeing the arrival of these outsiders, Cave Master Liu was incredibly excited, tightly clutching the eerie Ancient God statue in his hand.

The people from Cloud Lament had arrived, with Iron-blooded War Hero among them.

A group of Players blocked the cave entrance, quietly staring at the Non-player Characters inside.

Inside the Liu Family Cave, the people in the thatched huts also stared curiously at those at the cave entrance.

Flourishing Flowers and Iron-blooded War Hero walked up, their gazes sweeping over these Non-player Characters. In their eyes, these NPCs were the most miserable they had ever seen. They were even worse off than any ordinary Non-player Characters they had encountered before. These people stayed in this sunless cave. Some had never stepped foot outside it in their entire lives.

The moment they entered, an overwhelming, strange smell assaulted Flourishing Flowers and the others, making them involuntarily retch. It was too pungent. The air was a nauseating mix of various odors. Looking at the NPCs here, their clothes were practically rags, and thick layers of grime coated their bodies. Some NPCs had hair completely matted together, yet they seemed utterly unconcerned.

"Turtle, this game's got a heavy atmosphere."

"The moment I walked in, I nearly croaked! That smell is way too overpowering."

"I can't take it anymore, guys! You all carry on!"

"Damn, I'm heading outside for some fresh air. This place is lethal!"

"..."

A large group of Players quickly ran out. They had no intention of staying any longer, fearing they might actually be poisoned if they did.

Cave Master Liu approached them with a smile and softly asked, "Are you all Cultivators from the Outside?"

Cultivators! This term was completely foreign to the people of the Liu Family Cave. To the Players, however, it was all too familiar.

Flourishing Flowers nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we are Cultivators. What's the situation here? Why are so many people gathered?"

Hearing this, Cave Master Liu couldn't hide the smile in his eyes any longer. He had waited for so many years. He'd always thought Cultivators were merely beings recorded in books; he never imagined he'd actually live to see them.

Immediately, Cave Master Liu excitedly gripped the eerie Ancient God statue even tighter, hastily wrapping it in a piece of beast hide he carried. This action left the Players somewhat puzzled. What's going on here?

Chaotic Dance Steps frowned and asked, "Are you the Cave Master here?"

"Yes, I am in charge here," Cave Master Liu answered excitedly. "The previous Cave Master died three years ago, and I was chosen to be the new Cave Master."

Flourishing Flowers gently nodded and asked, "Why are you all here? What exactly happened to this world?"

This puzzled Cave Master Liu. Didn't the Ancient Books say the Outside was once ruled by Cultivators? Why do these people seem to know nothing about it?

Despite his confusion, he patiently explained, "You may not know this, but my people have been here since our ancestors' time."

Saying this, he took out the Ancient Books he had preserved. They were covered in a thick patina, clearly having been perused countless times. Only Cave Masters had the privilege to read them. This was a testament to how many generations of Cave Masters this place had seen.

"The Ancient Books record that the Cultivators were betrayed, and then the Ancient God appeared and completely unified this world," Cave Master Liu explained. "To avoid persecution by the Ancient God, our ancestors brought us here. We then began worshiping the Ancient God, which is how we've managed to eke out an existence until now.

"Now that you Cultivators have returned, it won't be long before the Ancient God is overthrown! The world that rightfully belongs to our various peoples will be restored!

"You must succeed, great Cultivators! Our ancestors never lived to see that former glory, but we, their descendants, yearn to witness it!

"Everything depends on you, great Cultivators!"

As he finished speaking, Cave Master Liu hurriedly knelt, as if terrified the Cultivators before him would refuse his plea.

Flourishing Flowers and the others helped Cave Master Liu to his feet. They then fell silent, exchanging looks. They had heard about the situation in this world from Zhao Ritian, but it now seemed far worse than they had understood.

"First, let's get them some food and prepare a water source. Have one of our guys skilled in Water Element Spells handle the water," Iron-blooded War Hero said gravely. "As for this Ancient God business, we can discuss it slowly. Let's get these people settled first."

Chaotic Dance Steps, who was standing to the side, also nodded. He was thinking the same thing: establish a good relationship with the Non-player Characters first. As for exploring this world of the Fifth Test, they could take their time.

Immediately, many Players sprang into action. They set up a clean water source and took out all the food they had brought with them.

"Damn, you actually brought so many Sea Race corpses?!"

"You've got some nerve saying that! Weren't those Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals yours? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!"

"I thought we had it rough, but man, the NPCs in this version are even more miserable! What is this Damn Game Designer trying to pull?"

"You're asking me? Who the heck am I supposed to ask?!"

"..."

The Players got to work. For now, they could only manage a simple meal, so they started roasting the corpses of the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals.

There was a large pot in the Liu Family Cave, which was soon filled with ingredients.

As the Players cooked, an enticing aroma spread throughout the cave, soon followed by the sound of the NPCs' stomachs rumbling loudly.
