Now, the hut was the same as in-game. It was a standard Time Hut with a wooden table, wooden chairs, wooden bed, and wooden horse. It was the same as an ordinary Time Hut stall.
However, in this hut, there was something that wasn't present in-game.
There were more than a dozen people in the hut. They were either standing, squatting, or sitting. They were clearly living people with flesh and blood, but for some reason, they were all standing there like puppets, not moving at all. Their eyes were staring in the same direction.
Zhou Wen's heart palpitated as he didn't dare come out of the Chaos Egg. Even in the Chaos Egg, he didn't feel at ease. He hurriedly put on the Dragon King Armor and activated all the skills he could, such as the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder.
After doing all of this, Zhou Wen sized up the situation in the hut again.
The dozen or so people in the hut made the small hut appear crowded. Zhou Wen quickly realized that Lucas was among them, but he stood there motionless like a realistic wax figurine.
Just like the others, Lucas stared intently at the only bed in the wooden hut.
Zhou Wen didn't dare use his eyes to look at the bed. He used Truth Listener's ability to scan it and realized that the bed in the hut was somewhat different from the one he saw in-game.
The wooden bed in-game was an ordinary wooden bed, but this bed actually had a translucent bed curtain that covered the entire bed.
And on the bed was a person. Lucas and company were looking at the person on the bed.
Zhou Wen listened carefully and realized that the person lying on the bed was likely a beautiful woman. As she lay there, he could still see her graceful figure. Her face was so exquisite that it didn't look human.
"Human?" Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised. Although the woman's beauty didn't look human, Zhou Wen could sense a human aura from her. She was definitely not a dimensional creature. At the very least, she had some human bloodline.
Zhou Wen didn't dare go over, nor did he attempt to call Lucas. This was because he didn't know what had happened. If he acted rashly, not only would he not be able to save Lucas, he might even harm him or himself.
It was just like saving someone who had been electrocuted. One couldn't directly pull him up. One had to use some insulating tools to save him.
Lucas wasn't electrocuted, so he couldn't act recklessly. He had to figure out how to save him and not harm him.
The Chaos Egg was normal and did not produce Essence Energy. This meant that the hut was the same as in-game. It did not have the ability to harm people, nor did it change the flow of time.
There was a high chance that the woman was the cause of Lucas and company's current state.
As Zhou Wen was observing, someone suddenly moved.
Zhou Wen hurriedly looked over and saw a man in his thirties or forties standing by the bed. He had been standing there motionless, but for some reason, he suddenly moved.
His eyes were blood-red, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to explode.
He continued to stare at the woman on the bed, his body pouncing towards the wooden bed like a beast.
However, just as his hand touched the gauze-like bed curtain, his entire body stopped as though he had been electrocuted. He didn't continue charging forward as his body trembled like he was having a cramp.
As he continued to tremble, dried powder continuously fell from his body. In just a moment, he had turned from a human with flesh and blood into a skeleton. The skeleton could not be preserved, and in the end, it turned into ashes, and then nothing was left.
Even his clothes and armor seemed to have experienced the baptism of ten thousand years as they turned to dust and scattered.
Zhou Wen was alarmed as he didn't dare look at the woman on the bed.
However, with Truth Listener's ability, Zhou Wen realized that the woman lying on the bed had become even more exquisite and rosy. She was even more beautiful and alluring.
It's indeed that woman! Zhou Wen's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't tell how the woman had attacked the man.
An enemy he couldn't see through was the most terrifying. Zhou Wen only wanted to bring Lucas out. He had no intention of provoking the woman.
However, bringing Lucas out was a problem. Ignoring the fact that he couldn't touch Lucas, even if he could, how was he to bring him to the cottage?
Without the Chaos Egg's protection, leaving the cottage was a dead end. However, only Zhou Wen could use the Chaos Egg. He couldn't bring Lucas in.
I can only put him in the Chaos Bead. Zhou Wen looked around and was somewhat hesitant.
He definitely couldn't touch Lucas now. If something happened, there wouldn't even be a chance to salvage the situation.
Therefore, Zhou Wen could only turn his attention to the remaining people. He wanted to bring someone into the Chaos Bead and see if he could bring them to the cottage.
Previously, Zhou Wen had already tried it in-game. Companion Beasts would die if they entered and exited on their own, but they wouldn't die if they entered and exited the Chaos Bead.
However, that was only a test of Companion Beasts after all. It was safer to test it with humans.
However, if the experiment failed, it would be equivalent to killing a person. This made Zhou Wen hesitate as though it wasn't appropriate to choose anyone.
"I'm sorry. Anyway, you will ultimately die if you stand here. I'll make a bet for you. If you win, you can escape and live. I don't need you to thank me. If you lose, blame it on your bad luck. " Zhou Wen randomly chose a person and was about to close the Chaos Egg and force him into the Chaos Bead.
However, before Zhou Wen could do anything, someone suddenly moved. A young man standing beside the table pounced at the wooden bed with bloodshot eyes just like the middle-aged man from before.
Zhou Wen's heart stirred as he immediately closed the Chaos Egg. He extended his hand at the young man and sucked him over, stuffing him into the Chaos Bead.
Zhou Wen activated the Chaos Egg again to protect his body. Just as he was about to leave the cottage, something that made his hair stand on end happened.
After the young man was stuffed into the Chaos Bead by Zhou Wen, his body rapidly aged. In the blink of an eye, he went from a young and strong lad to an old man.
He struggled with all his might, but his body rapidly dried up and pulverized. In a moment, he turned into ashes that scattered everywhere.
How did this happen? Zhou Wen was alarmed and puzzled. He hadn't even left the cottage. He had only placed the person into the Chaos Bead, but he had died just like that.
Zhou Wen's heart palpitated as he immediately felt that something was amiss. His first reaction was to power the Chaos Egg to leave the cottage.
However, when he turned to look at the wooden door, he saw an extremely beautiful and tall woman standing in front of the wooden door. Her beautiful eyes didn't have any human emotions as she stared at the Chaos Egg.
