The golden toad's tongue was severed by the axe. Blood immediately spewed out of its mouth as it let out a shrill scream.
As for the spot where its tongue was severed, it actually burned with flames. When the blood spewed into the air, it also burned like fireworks.
How powerful! Zhou Wen was alarmed.
Even Ice Maiden didn't dare underestimate the golden toad's strength, but its tongue had been severed by Wei Ge's axe. This was just too terrifying.
Wait … Axe … Laurel tree … Don't tell me the thing attached to Wei Ge is the legendary logger? Zhou Wen looked at Wei Ge in surprise.
The more Zhou Wen thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. In the legends, the logger was originally a human. As he had committed a huge mistake in the process of immortal cultivation, he was punished by the infuriated Celestial Thearch. He had to chop down the laurel tree on the moon before he was allowed to leave.
However, the laurel tree on the moon wasn't an ordinary tree species. It was an undying tree. After the axe was chopped down, the wound on the tree would automatically heal when it was pulled back.
Therefore, the logger would keep logging on the moon forever. He would never be able to leave the moon again.
This was only one of the versions of the legend of the logger. Zhou Wen originally didn't believe it, but with the discovery of the laurel tree's stump and the appearance of such a person, it was hard not to connect the dots.
However, legend has it that the laurel tree can't be chopped down. Why is there only a stump left? How did the logger die? Zhou Wen was puzzled.
While Zhou Wen was pondering over it, the injured golden toad retreated into Moon Palace. The possessed Wei Ge also walked in.
"If you want to leave, this is the best opportunity," Ice Maiden reminded him.
"Director-General Shen, are you returning to the spacecraft?" Zhou Wen asked Shen Yuchi.
Shen Yuchi pondered for a moment and said, "Little Wei has made such a huge sacrifice. Since he can still be saved, we can't abandon him. We have to think of a solution."
Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised. He never expected Shen Yuchi to say such a thing.
"In that case, you are going in to save him?" Zhou Wen asked Shen Yuchi.
"I can only say that I'm going in to take a look. If there's a chance, I'll save him. If there's no chance, I won't send myself to my death. I'll just do my best," Shen Yuchi invited. "You and Wei Ge are classmates. You won't abandon him, right?"
"We're only from the same school, not the same batch. We don't have much interaction, nor do we have any friendship. If you want to save them, do it yourself. I'm not in the mood to take risks," Zhou Wen said.
Shen Yuchi was slightly taken aback, but he did not say anything else. He brought Wang Qiuyuan into the Moon Palace.
After they entered, Zhou Wen took out his phone and snapped a picture of the tiny palm symbol behind the words "Moon Palace."
With a click, the screen of the phone suddenly changed to "loading".
I wonder if Chang 'e really exists in Moon Palace. When the time comes, a Chang' e Companion Beast will drop. It should be very interesting, right? Zhou Wen saw that his phone was constantly downloading. It didn't look like it could be downloaded in a short period of time.
"Should I go in?" Zhou Wen looked at the door of Moon Palace. The cold air inside was like fog, preventing him from seeing anything. Truth Listener's ability couldn't seep in either.
"If I were you, I wouldn't choose to enter," the ice maiden suddenly said.
"Why?" Zhou Wen looked at the ice maiden.
The ice maiden said, "The existence that possessed your classmate is too powerful. Golden Toad's strength isn't weaker than the present me, but he was able to severely injure it with one strike. With such strength, even Grim Demon might not be able to win. It's best you consider it carefully."
After a pause, the ice maiden continued, "Furthermore, this matter is a little strange. According to what I know, it's impossible for humans to advance to the Mythical stage with their own strength, much less reach the Terror grade. That creature says that he's human, but his strength is very terrifying among the Terror grade. Unless he's not human, there must be something hidden."
Zhou Wen didn't say a word as he looked at the door of Moon Palace in silence.
He didn't care if the person who possessed Wei Ge was human or not, but there was one thing that Zhou Wen was very concerned about.
Shen Yuchi had actually taken the risk of entering a place like Moon Palace for Wei Ge. No matter how he thought about it, something seemed amiss.
"Do you think it's possible that Shen Yuchi knew of the existence of the Bone Pottery jar from the beginning?" Zhou Wen said after some thought.
"What do you mean? If he knew, why would he take the risk here? "the ice maiden frowned.
"That's right. That really doesn't make sense, but there's something else that doesn't make sense. Although I haven't interacted much with Wei Ge, I know him a little. He's definitely not someone who will sacrifice himself for a place like the bureau. He actually took the initiative to take the risk. This doesn't seem like his character."
"Could it be that he was forced into a corner? After all, even if they really drew lots, Shen Yuchi might have tampered with it. There's a high chance that the person who goes in the end will still be him. He might as well take the initiative. If he succeeds, he can still obtain Shen Yuchi's appreciation in the future, "the ice maiden said.
"No, Wei Ge knows that Shen Yuchi is afraid of me. If he really needs to risk his life, he will likely seek my help. It's impossible for him to use hand gestures to stop me from intervening."
Zhou Wen paused before continuing, "Is it possible that Wei Ge also recognizes Bone Pottery and knows what's inside? That's why he took the initiative to take the risk?"
"That doesn't seem reasonable," the ice maiden said with a frown.
"But adding the two unreasonable things together seems to make sense. Otherwise, I really can't figure out why Wei Ge and Shen Yuchi would do such an unreasonable thing," Zhou Wen said.
"It's not difficult to know the answer. We'll know once we go in and take a look," the ice maiden said as she looked at the door of Moon Palace.
"Then let's go in and take a look." Zhou Wen glanced at his phone and realized that it was still downloading. He got the ice maiden to lead the way and the two of them entered Moon Palace's door.
He didn't feel much outside the door, but just as he entered, Zhou Wen felt a terrifying chill. It passed through the space suit that could withstand low temperatures, making Zhou Wen shiver.
When the ice maiden walked over, Zhou Wen immediately felt the chill dissipate significantly as his body warmed up.
"How did Shen Yuchi and the others survive such low temperatures?" Zhou Wen found it increasingly odd. Even his body couldn't withstand it. He didn't believe that Shen Yuchi and Wang Qiuyuan could withstand such a low temperature.
Thankfully, with the ice maiden, a cold-elemental expert, around, the chill naturally receded wherever she went. Zhou Wen could vaguely see many jade buildings in the cold fog, like a mythical immortal realm.
