Unbeknownst to Shen Yuchi, Zhou Wen had died too many times in-game. Therefore, he was especially careful in real life. As long as it was something unknown, he absolutely wouldn't touch it unless he had to.
However, Zhou Wen wasn't sure how much of what Shen Yuchi said was true. Just as he was about to ask another question, he suddenly heard a creak. The wooden door of the Moon Goddess Temple opened.
Shen Yuchi and Wang Qiuyuan were immediately overjoyed. However, they didn't dare look up and remained kneeling on the ground. Zhou Wen and Ice Maiden didn't have so many qualms as they looked up.
Within the Moon God Temple, there was a wooden statue of a dignified and beautiful woman.
When Ice Maiden saw the wood statue, her expression immediately turned solemn. She was even somewhat alarmed as she involuntarily retreated.
But every time she took a step back, a frosty footprint appeared on the ground. After just a few steps, she was actually frozen in place, as if she had turned into a jade statue. Although there was no frost on her body, it gave off a very strange feeling.
Zhou Wen was alarmed. Ice Maiden was an ice-elemental Terror creature, yet she had been frozen. It was unimaginable how powerful the creature in the temple was.
Shen Yuchi and Wang Qiuyuan were overjoyed. They had been waiting for this moment.
Now that the Moon Goddess had appeared, Zhou Wen and Ice Maiden, who had disrespected the Moon Goddess, would naturally be punished.
Zhou Wen stood there, motionless. Even an existence like Ice Maiden had been frozen. If he moved, he might be frozen faster than Ice Maiden.
Instead, he stood still and didn't feel anything strange.
However, looking at the wooden sculpture, Zhou Wen lamented inwardly. He couldn't retreat or advance.
Ice Maiden was right. It's best not to enter such a place, Zhou Wen thought.
However, the ice maiden was too careless. Ever since she came to this world, the strongest she had seen was at the Terror grade. Furthermore, Zhou Wen had the Terror-grade Demonic Neonate, Grim Demon, and the Seven Seas Dragon King by his side. Therefore, although she felt that this place was somewhat strange, she didn't take it to heart. She felt that even if there was a problem, they should be able to resolve it. She still entered with Zhou Wen.
"Since fate brought you here, you can choose one of them to help you walk the world, do good, accumulate virtue, and avoid calamities." The Moon Goddess statue's lips did not move, but an ethereal voice sounded out.
Zhou Wen found the line somewhat familiar. Although it was said differently, he seemed to have experienced a similar scene.
Don't tell me it's one of the three Mythical Companion Beasts? As Zhou Wen thought to himself, he saw a pearl and a jade slip fly out from the Moon Goddess statue's body and land on the wooden table in front of the statue.
"Why are there only two? Don't they usually choose one out of three? " Zhou Wen's heart stirred as he immediately thought of something. So that's how it is. So someone has long been here and obtained a Mythical Companion Beast from here. Shen Yuchi must have known about this long ago, so he came personally to try his luck.
However, this Moon Goddess doesn't seem to be picky. She actually gives Companion Beasts to everyone. Now, there are three of us, but there are only two Companion Beasts. The two of them have been kneeling here the entire time and are very respectful to the Moon Goddess. The Moon Goddess will most likely let them choose first. After they choose, what's there for me to do? Zhou Wen's mind raced, but he couldn't think of a good solution.
Now that the Moon Goddess didn't cause trouble for him and didn't freeze him there, Zhou Wen was already thanking the heavens. He didn't dare dream of choosing a Companion Egg.
Furthermore, Zhou Wen had many Mythical Companion Beasts, so there was no need for him to take the risk.
Shen Yuchi and Wang Qiuyuan clearly had the same thoughts. Both of them were delighted.
Wang Qiuyuan looked at Shen Yuchi and saw him nod slightly. Only then did he bow to the Moon Goddess statue and say, "Thank you, Your Excellency Moon Goddess, for your reward. I want that pearl."
After he bowed, there was no reaction from the temple. The Moon Goddess didn't speak again. Instead, the pearl shone even brighter, but it didn't fly out by itself.
Zhou Wen found it somewhat odd. He had previously chosen a Companion Egg. After choosing it, the Companion Beast would typically fly over by itself.
Wang Qiuyuan didn't know what to do. He didn't dare enter the Moon Goddess Temple, so all he could do was look at Shen Yuchi.
"Don't go in yet. Let me give it a try." Shen Yuchi was somewhat puzzled. Indeed, it was as Zhou Wen had thought. He did know that someone had been here and knew the details of the process. That was why he had personally come to try his luck.
However, this was somewhat different from what he knew. Back then, the person who took away the first Companion Beast had made a choice. The Companion Beast had flown over by itself, but for some reason, there was no movement now.
"Your Excellency Moon Goddess, I choose the jade slip. Thank you for your reward," Shen Yuchi said as he knelt.
As soon as Shen Yuchi finished speaking, the bamboo slip lit up. However, it only shone, and showed no signs of moving.
"Director-General, we should need to go in and retrieve it ourselves. Why don't I go in and take a look first?" Wang Qiuyuan said as he looked at the glowing pearl and jade slip.
Shen Yuchi nodded slightly. Wang Qiuyuan bowed on the ground again and said, "Your Excellency Moon Goddess, I'll go in and retrieve the pearl." Then, he got up and walked towards the Moon Goddess Temple.
Wang Qiuyuan was extremely excited. Although there were many more Mythical Companion Beasts than before, they were still rare. Only a few experts had a chance of obtaining them. With his status, he had no chance of obtaining a Mythical Companion Beast.
Now, this was definitely a chance for him to ascend to the heavens in a single bound. If the other inspectors hadn't died, this opportunity might not have landed on him.
Wang Qiuyuan walked to the door of the Moon Goddess Temple. Just as he was about to step in, frost suddenly appeared beneath his feet. Then, his entire body froze in front of the door. Just like Ice Maiden, there was no frost on his body. His body seemed to have transformed into cold jade.
What's going on? She said she would give someone a Companion Beast, but she doesn't let them take it? Is this Moon Goddess a scam? Zhou Wen was alarmed. This was the first time he had seen such a scammer dimensional creature.
In the past, most of the dimensional creatures would openly scam him. They would clearly tell him that there was danger here and that he should come over if he had the guts.
However, this Moon Goddess was nice. She would first tell him that there were benefits here. When he came over, she would toy with him to death. Zhou Wen felt that she shouldn't be called Moon Goddess but Yin Goddess.
That's right. She's Lady Supreme Yin to begin with … On second thought, Zhou Wen realized that this divine title made sense.
Shen Yuchi was also puzzled. This was completely different from the information he had obtained, but his information couldn't be wrong. Therefore, he didn't know what had gone wrong.
Could it be that person lied to me? Shen Yuchi's expression flickered.
"Why didn't you choose?" At that moment, another voice sounded from the Moon Goddess Temple. Although she didn't say who it was, there were only three people. Shen Yuchi and Wang Qiuyuan had chosen. Only Zhou Wen hadn't chosen. She was definitely talking about him.
"Can I still choose?" Zhou Wen asked in surprise. This was because this item was supposed to be unique. It would be gone after being chosen.
