After returning to his residence, Zhou Wen switched on his phone and entered Sunday's Maze of Lies again. He passed the Destiny Witches' card draw test and arrived at the garden again.
This time, Zhou Wen looked very carefully. There was indeed no tomb in the garden, much less the tombstone and mask that Frod had described.
There was only one tree in the middle of the garden. It stood in the middle of the garden like a huge umbrella.
There's indeed no tomb or mask in-game. I can only go to reality to see if there's one. Zhou Wen glanced at the tree and was somewhat unwilling to return. He summoned the Bronze Sparrow Sword and slashed at the tree.
He wanted to dig up the tree to take a look. Perhaps there was really a tomb under the tree.
The Bronze Sparrow Sword slashed at the roots of the tree with terrifying flames. It only managed to cut in less than three centimeters before it stopped. The flames failed to burn the tree.
To be more precise, the trunk and leaves became even brighter and more vibrant in the flames.
Zhou Wen summoned the Bronze Sparrow Sword back and saw magma-like liquid flow out of the wound on the tree. Furthermore, after the liquid flowed out, it quickly cooled and turned into ashes. The wounds on the tree quickly healed.
This is a plant-type Mythical creature? As Zhou Wen was thinking, he suddenly saw the blood-colored avatar collapse to the ground. The game screen turned black.
How did it die? Zhou Wen felt that he needed to figure out the true situation in the garden. He had a nagging feeling that this operation wouldn't go smoothly.
After entering the garden again, Zhou Wen summoned Tyrant Behemoth to see if he could uproot the tree.
In its Absolute Strength state, Tyrant Behemoth could be considered peak strength among Mythical creatures. After it gigantified, it half-squatted and held the tree trunk with both hands before pulling it up.
Tree roots broke out of the ground as the entire garden trembled. However, the tree ultimately wasn't uprooted.
Seeing that Tyrant Behemoth couldn't do it on its own, it summoned Torch Dragon, Black Dragon, Vajra Bull, and other Companion Beasts to uproot the tree.
Under the pull of the Mythical Companion Beasts, the tree's roots snapped one by one as magma-like liquid flowed out. Then, it turned to dust and vanished, but it still couldn't be uprooted.
Suddenly, the blood-colored avatar collapsed to the ground again and the game screen turned black.
"Could it be that the liquid flowing out of the tree has some special power that killed me?" In order to prove this judgment, Zhou Wen didn't do anything after entering the garden again. He got the blood-colored avatar to stand in the garden and wait slowly.
This was also to verify another guess. This was because Zhou Wen realized that the timing of the blood-colored avatar's baffling deaths seemed to be very similar.
Time ticked by. When it was an hour after the blood-colored avatar entered the garden, it died without any warning and the game screen went black again.
This time should be quite similar to the time of the previous death.
Zhou Wen conducted many more experiments to figure out what was going on.
Things were more complicated than Zhou Wen imagined. The results of the experiments were different.
Gaiman sent someone to invite Zhou Wen to participate in the training, but Zhou Wen rejected him.
If it were in the past, Zhou Wen would have had the intention to cooperate, but now, he knew very well that he had to figure out why the blood-colored avatar had died as soon as possible. Otherwise, it was very likely that no one would survive this operation.
Zhou Wen didn't participate on the first day, and Gaiman didn't say anything. However, he didn't go on the second and third days. Ignoring Gaiman, even the tycoons who came from other places had a lot of opinions about Zhou Wen.
"What's this? Does he think he's impressive just because he has some strength? Does he think it's beneath him to be associated with us? "The people from the North District had a fiery temper to begin with. Zhou Wen's actions naturally displeased them.
"He's Wang Mingyuan's disciple. He has people above him. Even if dimensional creatures occupy Earth, he can live very well. Can you do it? If you can't, shut up, "another tycoon mocked.
"He doesn't come to the training, but he has the final say. If he randomly gives orders, do we have to listen to him and send ourselves to our deaths? Mr. Gaiman, do you think this is appropriate? "someone questioned Gaiman.
"Zhou Wen might have some matters to resolve. After the matter is resolved, he should come. Everyone, calm down." As Gaiman comforted everyone, he secretly found Lance, Sadie, and company to get them to see what was going on with Zhou Wen.
Although Lance and Sadie felt that Zhou Wen wasn't an arrogant person, they were puzzled that Zhou Wen didn't even participate in the training. Therefore, they went to Zhou Wen's residence.
Before they arrived at Zhou Wen's place, they encountered Wang Lu, who was carrying Ya 'er and bags of snacks.
Wang Lu didn't participate in the training either. However, as Wang Lu was only in charge of drawing cards from the Destiny Witches, and she could only draw cards by herself, she didn't need to cooperate with others. Furthermore, she didn't have any decision-making power, so no one requested her to participate in the training.
"Wang Lu, why did you buy so many snacks? Didn't I get someone to arrange a chef for you? Is the food not to your liking? "Sadie asked in puzzlement.
"No, the food is very good, but Zhou Wen is in his room … cultivating … He doesn't want to go out, so he got me to buy some food and drinks for him," Wang Lu said.
"I see. What kind of cultivation is Coach doing?" Sadie asked.
"This … I'm not too sure either …" Wang Lu's expression changed slightly.
Zhou Wen was basically gaming in his room. There was no cultivation. She only felt that it wasn't good to say that Zhou Wen was gaming, so she changed it to cultivation at the last moment.
"We naturally trust Zhou Wen's character, but there are many doubts from others. Furthermore, it's better for us to familiarize ourselves with each other's abilities in battle. I still hope he can participate in the training," Lance said.
As the few of them spoke, they went to Zhou Wen's room.
When they arrived at the door, Wang Lu knocked and said, "Zhou Wen, open up. I bought something. Lance and company are here to see you."
By saying that, Wang Lu naturally hoped that Zhou Wen would restrain himself a little and not let Lance and company see him gaming.
However, when Zhou Wen opened the door, he was still playing with his phone.
This was because the situation in the Maze of Lies was beyond his expectations. He still hadn't completely resolved the problem.
Now, Zhou Wen had to resolve the problem before the team entered the Maze of Lies. Otherwise, apart from him, everyone who entered would die.
