Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2125 Monster
The subordinate said: "I had some...some frights when I was a child."

Before Tie Wandao could finish his next sentence, the two men simultaneously noticed that the black bug had dragged the mat into a hole, and they immediately walked closer to take a look. Tie Wandao said to his men, "Are you not going to take the mat back?"

The subordinate was a little worried that his actions would displease Tie Wandao, so he asked, "What does the clan leader think?"

Tie Wandao said: "I just asked you to come here to get the mat."

The subordinate said: "Yes, Chief, I know. But at that time... a special situation occurred..."

"So you didn't take it?" Tie Wandao said.

"Well... I... After all, the pattern emitted orange light when the song sounded, which was really... too weird and scary. Plus, I originally thought that the cloth was on the stone, but when I saw it, it was actually... so close to the glowing pattern. I don't know if there is any... connection between these things. I felt that I couldn't destroy the scene and had to report to the chief immediately. If the chief happens to have time, then... the chief can see the situation at the scene." The subordinate said, "Look, the chief is here..."

"However, after I came here, I didn't hear any singing, I didn't see any pattern glowing, and I didn't see any cloth padding next to the pattern." Tie Wandao said seriously.

“Chief, if the pattern can’t glow without singing, then… the singing just happened to be silent now, so naturally we can’t see the pattern glowing.” The subordinate continued, “As for the mat… it was… pulled away by the black bugs… it was indeed next to the pattern before.”

"Didn't you say that I'm very powerful?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes." said the subordinate.

"If there are monsters here, will they be afraid of me?" Tie Wandao asked. The subordinate did not dare to answer this question. Although the clan leader said monsters instead of ghosts, the subordinate was always worried about offending ghosts, so he had to say: "Actually, I... The clan leader is so brave and so majestic. In front of the clan leader, I am a monster... I, a monster, will be afraid of the clan leader."

Tie Wandao wanted to ask his men seriously whether the real monsters would be afraid of him. However, after hearing what his men said, he felt comfortable and thought he still had face. However, he remembered that he had asked his men to take the mat away before. If his men did not take the mat, he would feel that he had lost face. So he immediately followed up what his men said and asked, "You still say you are afraid of me. If you are afraid of me, I asked you to take the mat away, but you still have no intention of taking it."

The subordinate said: "The mat has been... pulled into the hole by the black bug."

Tie Wandao said: "But I already told you to do that, and you didn't do it, where is my face?"

"What the clan leader means is..." said the subordinate.

Tie Wandao wanted to ask his men to take the mat away, but he was worried that the black bug was really related to a ghost and that it would be unlucky, so he didn't dare to ask his men to take the mat from the hole so close to the complex pattern. So he said to his men, "You should understand, right?"

Of course, the subordinate did not dare to take the mat from the hole, so he said: "Chief... forgive my stupidity, I... I don't understand."

Tie Wandao said: "You haven't done what I asked you to do before."

The subordinate said: "Chief, now... the situation... is different."
