For some reason, the ape that could swallow a wyrm only stared at Zhou Wen without attacking.
Although they didn't move, Zhou Wen still felt uneasy. He felt like he had fallen into a tiger's den and was being watched by a group of tigers.
Grim Demon was also trembling in fear. Although he said that he wasn't afraid of anything, he was currently only at the Terror grade. There was no way he could fight existences at the level of the four monkeys.
Only the ignorant were fearless. The more one understood, the more one would feel reverence.
Grim Demon was clearly an understanding person. He knew how terrifying the four monkeys were.
"Can you recognize which race's Guardian cocoon it is?" Zhou Wen asked Grim Demon again.
Grim Demon was slightly taken aback. Under Zhou Wen's hint, he realized that there was a Guardian cocoon inside the stone artifact.
"Strange!" Grim Demon didn't dare approach to take a look. All he did was peek from below, but his expression turned somewhat puzzled.
"What's strange?" Zhou Wen asked.
Grim Demon frowned and said, "That Guardian cocoon is a little strange. Typically speaking, a Guardian cocoon that hasn't hatched will be sent to a dimensional zone that matches its attribute to be nurtured after being teleported to Earth. The dimensional zone's power will have a certain impact on the Guardian cocoon, causing the Guardian's growth to mutate. But even so, it won't change its basic stats. "
"For example, if it's a Guardian created using the genes of an angel, no matter how this Guardian mutates, be it a fire-elemental angel or an ice-elemental angel, it will ultimately be in an angel form." Grim Demon continued with a strange expression, "However, this Companion Beast is somewhat different."
"What's the difference? Do you know what race the Guardian in the Guardian cocoon is? "Zhou Wen was definitely peeking at the Guardian cocoon, but he couldn't see anything.
Grim Demon shook his head slightly. "I can't see what's inside the Guardian cocoon either, but the power on it is clearly incompatible with the attributes of this dimensional zone. Didn't you notice?"
Zhou Wen had previously felt that the cocoon of the Guardian was somewhat odd. However, he had been thinking of a way to escape and didn't think too much about it. Now that he was prompted by Grim Demon, he realized that the attributes of the cocoon of the Guardian were indeed somewhat incompatible with the attributes in this dimensional zone.
Although he couldn't tell what attribute the Guardian cocoon had, it was repelling the Essence Energy in the dimensional zone.
Grim Demon looked at the four apes and continued, "Furthermore, generally speaking, dimensional creatures that stay beside the cocoon of the Guardian do so voluntarily. As for these four fellows, they seem to have been locked here by someone and have no choice but to guard this cocoon of the Guardian. There must be a special reason for such a situation. "
"What's the reason?" Zhou Wen didn't know much about Guardians, so he could only ask Grim Demon.
Grim Demon shook his head. "There might be many reasons. Perhaps someone doesn't want this Guardian cocoon to hatch, so they locked it in a place that's incompatible with the Guardian cocoon's attributes to prevent it from hatching. The purpose of these four apes might be to prevent someone from contracting the Guardian cocoon or taking it away. It was also possible that there was something special about this Guardian cocoon that could only hatch in such a place. It's also possible that someone found this Guardian cocoon somewhere else and moved it here … "
Grim Demon mentioned a few possibilities, but he couldn't be sure which one it was.
"To imprison four Calamity-grade creatures and place the Guardian cocoon in such a place, it's impossible for someone with such strength to be human, right?" Zhou Wen said after some thought.
"That might not be the case. During the ancient war, there were many humans who reached the Calamity-grade by combining with Guardians. In fact …" Grim Demon suddenly seemed to realize something and fell silent.
"There's even an Apocalypse?" Zhou Wen sized up Grim Demon with interest. He had previously felt that Grim Demon might not be purely arrogant. From the looks of it, he at least knew a lot of things. It was very likely that he was a powerful Guardian that had survived from ancient times.
"I heard there is." Grim Demon was clearly perfunctory.
Seeing that Grim Demon had no intention of continuing, Zhou Wen didn't pursue the matter. He asked, "Then, do you think this Guardian cocoon might be a Guardian that survived from ancient times?"
"It doesn't seem like it. This should be a Guardian cocoon that hasn't hatched." After a pause, Grim Demon continued, "However, it's really possible that it was left behind from that time. Only in such an environment can it survive such a long period of time without hatching."
"How far back is the ancient era you mentioned?" Zhou Wen asked.
"To you humans, that's the prehistoric Mythical Era." Grim Demon suddenly frowned and said, "Strange!"
"What's wrong? Did you discover anything special? " Zhou Wen didn't discover anything abnormal. The four monkeys were still staring at them without doing anything special.
"It's precisely because there's nothing special that I find it strange. No matter what the possibility is, these four fellows were locked here to guard this Guardian cocoon. We've been here for so long, but they haven't reacted at all. This is too strange," Grim Demon said.
Zhou Wen had previously found it odd. They were definitely here to protect the Guardian cocoon, but they ignored him, an intruder. This was clearly strange.
"Could it be that they've been suppressed for too long and have lost the ability to attack?" Grim Demon pondered.
"I just saw that golden-furred monkey grab the air with one hand and suck a wyrm out of the sea before swallowing it alive." Zhou Wen denied Grim Demon's theory.
"That's strange. Then why didn't they attack us? That doesn't make sense. "Grim Demon frowned.
"Could it be that they're restricted by some taboo power and can't attack the creatures on the turtle shell?" Zhou Wen said.
"Impossible. No one would be so stupid. Unless …" Grim Demon seemed to think of a possibility, but he was somewhat unsure.
"Unless what?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Unless there's someone among us who can hatch the Guardian cocoon and meet the conditions of the person who designed all of this, they won't attack." The person Grim Demon mentioned was naturally Zhou Wen. He was the only human here.
"No way?" Zhou Wen found it unbelievable that there would be such a coincidence. He happened to meet the conditions to hatch the Guardian cocoon.
"Apart from that, I really can't think of any other possibilities." The more Grim Demon thought about it, the more he felt that there was nothing wrong. He said to Zhou Wen, "You don't have to belittle yourself. To be able to obtain Master's favor, you aren't too far off. Perhaps it's really possible."
Zhou Wen felt that something was amiss with Grim Demon's words. It seemed to be praising him, but something was amiss.
