With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

When they looked outside, they found that they couldn’t see the town around them anymore.

All they could see were the walls of the cave that they were currently in.

The residence around them was still the same, but the surroundings had completely changed.

It was almost as if they had been teleported to a completely different place.

But how was this possible?

Seeing the looks of shock on the faces of his subordinates, the envoy couldn’t help knitting his brows as he asked, “What happened? What do you see?”

The subordinates turned back and gave a gulp before describing the situation outside.

Judging by the looks of doubt on their faces, it was clear that the envoy and the rest of the group didn’t believe them.

However, they couldn’t deny it when they came closer to the window to have a look.

Just as they had described, they saw that the residence that they had been in had been brought into this cave. They didn’t know where this cave was or if they were even above the ground, but they knew that they were in a completely different place compared to before.

So even if they wanted to stay still and wait for people to come rescue them, it was impossible.

After all, they didn’t even know if there were people around in this cave.

So everyone turned to the envoy to look for his instructions.

The envoy just deeply knitted his brows since he also didn’t know what to do right away.

He was still stuck on the fact that they had suddenly appeared in this cave.

But after looking around, he could feel that there was a breeze in the air.

If there was a breeze, that meant that this place was connected to the outside.

So sitting here became the worse of two options. After all, it was clear that whoever had captured them had brought them here for a reason.

If they just stayed here, they would be taken care of by their captors once they returned.

But since there was a breeze in the air, that meant that there was a chance that they would be able to get out of this place before they came back.

So between the path of certain death and the path of likely death, the path of likely death was the better choice.

Coming to a decision, with no hesitation at all, the envoy stood up and waved his hand at his group as he said, “We’re going.”

Everyone looked at the envoy with a surprised look, but they all quickly gathered their weapons and things before following the envoy out of the residence. As soon as they left, the array that had been there suddenly released and the barrier disappeared.

What they didn’t see was that on the ceiling, there was someone watching them.

When they saw this barrier disappear, they couldn’t help revealing a smile.

That barrier had been the only thing protecting them, but now that it was down…

This made it much easier for them to finish them off.

After leaving the residence, the envoy quickly sent two people to scout out the two different paths that had been placed in front of them.

Not long after, there was only one of the scouts that came back.

Without waiting for the other scout to come back, they immediately headed down the path of the one that had come back.

It didn’t take much intelligence to understand that if they didn’t come back, that path was most likely dangerous and they had died.

So the path that the scout came back from was most likely the safe path.

They didn’t hesitate to sacrifice members of their group because everyone knew that their own lives were the most important.

As for the ones that were sacrificed, they were always the weakest members of the group, so they had no choice in this matter. If they tried to resist, they would just be forced to go by the rest of the group.

Since they were the weakest, they couldn’t fight back against the stronger members of the group.

They slowly but steadily continued along this path until…they came up to another fork in the road.

It was the same as before, there were two paths placed in front of them.

Once again they sent the two weakest members forward to scout out the paths and once again, only one of them was able to make it back.

They took the path that was cleared and…reached one more fork.

This continued about three more times before the envoy stopped them.

They didn’t know how much longer they had to keep going and losing members like this wasn’t the best option now. After all, they had lost enough members that their overall power had been greatly reduced.

If they lost even more members, it was unlikely that they would be able to face the enemy if they did meet them.

If they kept weakening themselves by losing more members like this, all that awaited them was death.

The other members all recognized this, so once again they turned to the envoy and asked, “What do we do?”

The envoy knitted his brows as he carefully looked at the two paths placed in front of them.

Instead of rushing to escape, this time they carefully looked at the two paths.

They had been rushing before since they wanted to get out of here before their captors returned, but now they had no choice but to slow down.

They found that there were indeed differences between the two passages.

When they looked more closely, they found that there were marks that were made beside each passage as if they were indicating something. However, they didn’t recognize these marks at all, so they didn’t know what these marks meant.

𝑶𝑣𝐋𝐞xt.𝗇𝓔t

But it was clear that these marks were to tell whoever came which direction led where.

So all of them started focusing on the marks and trying to decipher them.

As for the envoy, he went looking for something different.

He walked along the edges of each pathway, looking at the walls around him.

Finally, he came up to one of the passages and rubbed the wall before saying, “It’s moss.”

The subordinates who had been focused on checking the marks couldn’t help turning their heads when they heard this.

They looked at the envoy with a confused look, but the envoy suddenly said, “It’s this way, we’ll go down this passage.”

With a wave of his hand, he headed down the passage by himself without waiting for the others.

The others hesitated a bit, but in the end, they still followed him.

If they left this place without the envoy, then they wouldn’t be able to escape being punished. And it wasn’t just them being punished, it would also be their families who would be punished.

So no matter what, they had to follow him and make sure that he was safe.

They were all on high alert as they prepared for a trap to fall on them, but to their surprise, nothing happened. They quickly made their way through this passage and reached the next fork.

As soon as they arrived, the envoy didn’t hesitate at all to look at both of the passages.

The other members looked at the wall, trying to figure out what he was looking at. However, all that they could see from the direction he was looking in was something green on the wall.

After looking at both of the passages, the envoy turned to one of the passages and said, “This way.”

Once again, without waiting for a reaction from the group, he headed off down the passage right away.

The others tried to look carefully at where he had been looking, but they weren’t able to find a single thing other than what seemed to be this green stuff on the walls.

Still, seeing that the envoy was quickly moving away, they decided to give up searching for what he was using to judge this and followed him.

For the next three forks, the same thing happened where the envoy took a look at the two passages before choosing one. Every time, they made it safely to the next fork without any traps being tripped.

After that, they had complete confidence in the envoy since his method worked every time.

So they didn’t even bother looking as they just blindly followed the envoy.

But on the sixth turn…

The envoy took a single look before heading down one of the passages. All of his subordinates just blindly followed behind him without even bothering to say a thing.

But this time, the result was different.

When they were about to reach the next fork, when they saw the exit of the passage that they were in, there was a sudden clicking sound.

Then before any of them could react, the floor under them gave way and a large hole opened that they fell into.

No one could stop themselves as they fell into the hole.

As they fell, the envoy had a look of complete shock on his face since he couldn’t understand what was happening.

He had made sure that this was the right path, so why did it have a trap?

As for the method he used, he had been checking for moss on the edges of the passages.

While there was moss growing on both passage entrances, the one that had more was the right way since it was the way that wasn’t a dead end. The one that had more moss was connected to the outside since the breeze from the outside provided fresh air, allowing more moss to grow.

Since it was connected to the outside, there shouldn’t be a trap or they would have to go through traps each time to enter and exit this place.

But now he fell into this trap.

He couldn’t understand what he had done wrong.

That was the last thought that the envoy thought before everything turned dark.
