    ‘If it’s not Hades’ seed, it’s Zeus’s seed. Even Poseidon doesn’t have the clout to make Death God Thanatos show favor.’


    ‘Wait a minute, does that mean I could extract the Titan Giant bloodline from those three dogs made of gold, silver, and copper?’ Qin Muye suddenly found such an oversight.


    ‘In the heat of the moment just now, I vaguely remembered Thanatos, the Death God and Sleep God brothers, they seem to be the Night Goddess’s sons? They also come from no less extraordinary origins.’


    ‘Definitely possessing strength above level 7.’ Qin Muye’s Reconnaissance Skill couldn’t even determine the name, proving that there was a huge gap in strength between him and the other party.


    ‘Whether it’s the Horror Universe or fairy tales, do they all have intricate connections with my past life?’


    ‘This damned world, it’s too tricky. I run into such crappy situations right from the start.’


    “But he’s just an ordinary prince, after all. When I... slowly explain things to the handsome General Wang.”


    “There was a slight mishap, that dog wanted to acknowledge me as its elder brother, but I didn’t want that, to avoid being called ‘Dog Elder Brother’ later. So, I came out to get some air.” Qin Muye glanced at his white horse—it was still there. He was just worried about losing his white horse, as that would completely strip him of his, pah, princely demeanor.


    “Alright then, I’ll make another trip down later to fetch it for the elderly lady, but... ” Qin Muye looked the old witch up and down, making the latter’s hair stand on end with his gaze.


    “Hehe, could General Wang please hand over the old lighter to me? I don’t want a single Gold Coin from below,” the witch said with a strange laugh, her voice unpleasant.


    “Since they’re dogs used by the Death God to guard the treasury, why did you dare to take them?” Qin Muye retorted, finding the old witch quite bold.


    “Bad luck.”


    “You see, I’m a person who respects the old and loves the young. Even if you don’t tell me, I won’t do anything to you,” Qin Muye reined in the Crimson Hell Attribute emanating from his body and continued, “As the saying goes, ‘Having an elder at home is like having a treasure.’ If you don’t tell me, I won’t do anything to you. The worst I might do is let you know what a ‘heart’s treasure’ really is!”


    “Handsome General Wang, have you found the old lighter I’ve been looking for?” the witch hastily asked.


    “Speak.” Seeing the witch’s expression, Qin Muye casually leaned against the copper coin dog and prompted her nonchalantly.


    “I’d like to ask about some things, like who built the corridor below, why the currency in the treasure chests has the Death God Pattern, and what’s the deal with those three dogs,” Qin Muye spoke leisurely.


    “Handsome General Wang, if possible, could you give the old lighter to me first? I’m just a poor old woman who lost her lighter. If you give it to me, I promise to reveal everything I know,” the witch said with a pained look, betting that Qin Muye didn’t know the efficacy of the old lighter.


    “This is a treasure vault of Death God Thanatos. Born from the bloodline and wealth of Cerberus, the hellhound offspring of Typhon and Echidna, Thanatos created three magical creatures. Out of fear they would wander off, he used the lighter to confine these three treasure hounds.”


    “Good luck!” Qin Muye said softly, then mounted his white horse and prepared to leave.


    Poseidon and Thanatos are unrelated.


    But on second thought, it seems that Titan bloodlines aren’t exactly rare in Greek mythology. Not only humans have them, but monsters can have them too. It’s just that purebloods might be harder to find.


    Death God!!!


    Death God Thanatos watched Qin Muye departing in the distance, but ultimately did not follow, as the man’s time to die had not yet come.


    So, when she was bamboozling that soldier, the Death God might have been standing somewhere watching her.


    His pupils were coated with a layer of crimson crystals, through which he saw a blurry figure standing under a big tree, a black robe obscuring the face, holding a huge scythe in a skeleton hand.


    He was utterly powerless, but that didn’t mean his magic was powerless as well.


    In her pupils, reflected a clear figure, holding a scythe and steadily walking towards her.


    Thanatos and Echidna he wasn’t very familiar with, but Typhon and Cerberus he remembered well, one was the Storm Titan of Greece, son of Earth Mother Goddess Gaia, and the latter was the infamous hellhound with three heads.


    Listening to Qin Muye’s amiable words, the old witch felt a shiver run through her heart; she felt certain heart treasure was definitely not a good thing.


    The copper coin dog was summoned from the void by him, and upon seeing this, the witch’s expression involuntarily changed.


    The witch was completely befuddled by Qin Muye’s idiosyncratic sayings, and couldn’t quite grasp their meaning at the moment.


    The next second, the person lost all signs of life and fell stiffly to the ground.


    Seems normal enough, the other party probably doesn’t care about such petty things.


    Heart treasure, referring to embracing the other person’s heart and head together, whether shoving the head into the heart or the heart into the head, that didn’t matter, as long as they could be embraced together.


    If it weren’t found by now, it probably would have ended up in the dog’s stomach, but if it was found, then what’s this situation?


    It was not impossible, after all, Typhon had appeared.


    It was meeting him, if going by the original story, that truly heralded the looming death of the old witch.


    This can’t be an encounter with a madman.


    As this thought was uttered, it led straight to a chillingly terrifying conclusion.


    The old witch had intended to take action, but suddenly, she noticed layers of crimson radiance emerging from Qin Muye’s body, mingled with frightening power. If they really got into a fight, she was afraid she would drop dead on the spot.


    The old witch was only at an intermediate level, as seen by Qin Muye’s using Intermediate Reconnaissance Skill; her Attribute was average, probably a common Profession, still far too inferior to him.


    That made him hesitate.


    Was this finding it or not finding it?


    As for the gold, silver, and copper coin dogs, letting the other party command them for a while was fine, the life of a mortal was but a moment to him, it wouldn’t be too late to retrieve them when the time came to collect the mortal’s soul.
