However, after Athena's leadership, everyone found that Athena did not easily lead her out of the dark forest, but instead led her farther and farther away. A strong doubt surged in the hearts of the group, especially when He Xiaotian accidentally discovered that a fleeting sneer flashed across the corner of Athena's mouth, Wuqi and his group instantly felt a hint of increasingly strong uneasiness.

Master! Master!! Master!!!

What's wrong, Xiaotian?

Are the others here? Everyone! If everyone hears me, answer me quickly.

We are listening, Xiaotian, what's wrong with you?

Do you think something is wrong with Athena?

Something is wrong? What did you find?

Just now, I accidentally saw a sneer appearing on her face. If she was really a kind goddess of wisdom, why would she sneer?

This...maybe it was because I remembered something else.

Yes. There is this possibility, Xiaotian, don’t think too much.

So how do you explain that Lord Athena led us to go further and further away from the cliffs of the sky?

This... you should ask the military advisor. Military advisor, what do you think?

This is indeed suspicious. However, I still haven't figured out what Lord Bai Athena wants to do. Xiaotian, is it that you tell us that this is to keep us alert?

Not so, military advisor.

Then do you have an idea?

Yes.

Let's hear it.

I found that Lord Athena cared too much about the skull in her hand.

Care too much? Isn't it supposed to be for her to care? She said that it was the skull of her relative.

If it is really the skull of a relative, then you should be happy to lose it and get it back, but the military advisor, happiness and joy cannot be equated, right?

Of course it cannot be equivalent, what do you want to say? Xiaotian?

I think Lord Athena is too happy. If I had retrieved my parents' skull, I would have been very happy, but I would never be so happy that I would have laughed until my mouth was wide open after walking a few steps, and I would not be so happy that I would have looked up and down the left and right. Since this is my parents' skull, after I retrieved it, I would only keep it in my hands to keep it. But...

But Athena didn't do it, right?

Yes, if you don’t believe it, you can observe it carefully.

OK, let me see. This... is really the same as what you said. I didn't pay much attention to it before you mentioned it. Now after you said this, I discovered it. Lord Athena seemed too happy about retrieving the skull. It didn't seem like retrieving what her parents should have, but instead... found a baby that she had been coveting for a long time!

What? Baby? So, military advisor, you think I'm right?

Well, Xiaotian, your discovery is very accurate. In this case, I am not right. We should consider the authenticity of Lord Athena’s identity. Xiaobai! Xiaobai, are you here?

Military advisor. I'm here. What do you want to ask?

Xiaobai. When you were fighting fiercely with Yamata Orochi, did you hear from Yamata Orochi’s mouth that Athena’s identity was fake?

That's right. After Yamatsu Orochi knew that we were sent by Athena, she told me that it was the master of this heaven, and Athena was not at all.

Okay, I understand. Thank you, Xiaobai. Let’s just say this, let me think about it carefully, think about it. This Athena is indeed too suspicious. It is impossible for ordinary people to recover the skulls of their relatives to be so excited, and toss and turns the skulls of their parents over and over again. They should only put the skulls in a honest manner. What is the reason?

Bamboo. If, I said, if Athena was not a goddess of wisdom, Xiaobai really killed the wrong person, what do you think we should do?

What to do? Short, I'm thinking about it. Wait! Short, what did you say just now?

I said, what should we do if Athena was really not the goddess of wisdom?

I understand! Short! I understand! Why did Athena take us farther and farther away? Why did she look so excited and behave so abnormally.

Why?

I'm afraid she was planning to lead us into some dangerous area, and then, when she got into a trap or got lost, she would find an opportunity to escape secretly. As for why Athena behaved so strangely and was so excited about the skull, the most likely reason was that it was not a skull at all. Maybe it might be a treasure, but we didn't know how to use it yet.

Then why are you talking about? Now...

No. Everyone wait. Although I am very sure of this possibility now, we have no evidence yet. Before there is any evidence, any suspicion may be false.

Then you plan to...

Let's do this. Xiaotian, listen.

After a long conversation, everyone had a complete understanding of their thoughts and the plans formulated by Yun Zhihao through voice transmission, the mood of the group changed. Although they still had a faint smile on their faces, their hearts no longer fully trusted Athena as they did not long ago, and they had a little more precaution.

He Xiaotian changed the most. After nodding with Yun Zhihao and his group, he immediately boldly stepped forward a few steps and ran to Athena, chatting enthusiastically with Athena.

"Hello, Lord Athena."

"Do you... have something to do with me?"

"Sir Athena, I think...I think..."

"What's wrong? Just say anything. Don't be so restrained. Although I am the goddess of wisdom in this heaven, you helped me kill the Yamata Orochi, which I hate the most, and helped me find my important skull. I am very grateful to you, and I will never lose my temper."

"Really?"

"real."

As soon as these words came out, He Xiaotian grinned and reached out to grab it quickly. A light lit up in his hand. With a flash, he instantly grabbed the skull in Athena's hand. Seeing Athena's eyes suddenly change, revealing a strong look of anger, He Xiaotian's heart suddenly felt a hint of pride. He smiled and stuck out his tongue at Athena, and returned the thing to the other party.

"Mr. Athena, you said it's not angry!"

"You little devil! Do you know how important this thing is to me? Although I said I wouldn't be angry, I don't want you to joke like this again."

"Sir Athena, that's what I want to tell you."

"What's up?"

"Did you find it? This skull is so barely placed in your hands. It's so easy to lose it. If you accidentally lose it, what do you think you should do?"

"What do you want to say, Xiaotian?"

"Mr. Athena, I want to remind you. Put the skull in your hands. It's too unsafe to keep it in your hands like this. It's better to find a safe place."

"You don't have to worry about it. I'll just put it in my clothes pocket."

After a detailed conversation, He Xiaotian found that Athena did not act as planned as she planned. She shook her head silently, smiled, and did not explain. She stretched her hand gently into Athena's pocket, and then pulled it back as lightning-fast as if Athena had patted her pocket to confirm that the things were put, He Xiaotian grabbed the skull in his hand again.

"What!?"

This immediately scared Athena. She thought the thing had been put, but she didn't expect it to fall into He Xiaotian's hands in an instant. Seeing that the other party could steal the thing without her being aware of it, and, blatantly playing with it in front of her, Athena's face suddenly became ugly and gloomy and terrifying.

"What do you think this is? Lord Athena, so, I said it's better to find a place to hide it. What's more, this is not your parents' skull. I think it's better to bury it. In this way, you don't have to worry about losing it."

At this time, when He Xiaotian heard He's reply from his ear, Athena looked at him intently, and saw He Xiaotian holding the skull in his hand and playing with it repeatedly. One eye was closed, and he looked at himself with only one eye. A smug smile was hanging on the corner of his mouth, and he looked as if he looked down on him. Athena suddenly felt anger in her heart, and she also had murderous intent, and couldn't help but kill someone.

However, Athena thought again that there were Wuqi and his group behind He Xiaotian, and Wuqi and his group were the ones who defeated Yamata Orochi. If he had a conflict with these people, it would be very dangerous and there was little chance of victory. So, he thought silently and put away his murderous intention for insurance, but just reached out to He Xiaotian, glared at him, and deliberately vented his dissatisfaction with anger.

"Give me the stuff!"

"Give it to you! Lord Athena, please think about it if I say it."

"There is nothing to consider. I just put it too lightly. This time I will definitely not throw it away when I put the pocket of my clothes inside."

As soon as these words came out, Athena took the skull back from her hand and opened the coat and stuffed it into the clothes inside. Then, she sorted out the coat again, looking full of confidence. He Xiaotian immediately opened his mouth and smiled again. He grabbed his big hand gently, and in silence, Athena stole the skull into her hand and started playing with it without any notice.

"Is that so? Then see what this is?"

"What!? What did you...how did you do it?"

"Mr. Athena, it doesn't matter what I do. What's important is that you have to hide your skull. Oh. I'm lucky to have something stolen because I will return it to you. What I'm worried about is, if it is lost, what should I do? Your ability to hide things is not good."

"Then...that can't be buried. I don't want to buried it yet."

"This is a problem, what should I do?"

Finally, after a long conversation, he found that Athena had finally changed her previous behavior according to her plan. He Xiaotian looked embarrassed and grabbed his head and thought seriously. However, he was filled with joy. He glanced at Yun Zhihao behind him and sent a message to the other party that the bait had been hooked.

The bait is hooked. Military advisor, it's time for you to appear now. (To be continued...)
