Zhou Wen thought for a moment and felt that it was true.
If he hadn't met the conditions, how could these ferocious beasts ignore him?
Since their mission here was to protect the cocoon of the Guardian, be it voluntary or involuntary, the person who designed all of this definitely had a way to make them destroy anyone who came here.
Up to now, they had no intention of taking action. What Grim Demon said seemed to make sense.
However, Zhou Wen didn't lose his mind because of Grim Demon's speculation. He felt that it was only a possibility. If he guessed wrong and casually touched the cocoon of the Guardian, the apes who had no intention of killing them might immediately turn hostile.
However, it wasn't a solution to be trapped here forever. Zhou Wen planned on scouting ahead.
With a thought, Zhou Wen summoned a Poison Bat and it flew towards the gap between the golden-furred monkey and the black-gray ape.
Zhou Wen was very nervous and his nerves were constantly tense. If the Poison Bat angered the four apes, he would have no choice but to risk his life. He might even have to use the Immortal Culling Sword again.
However, Zhou Wen wasn't confident that a single strike from the Immortal Culling Sword could kill the four apes. After all, he was too weak and could only use the most basic abilities of the Immortal Culling Sword.
Thankfully, what Zhou Wen was worried about didn't happen. The Poison Bat flew out of the turtle shell's range and the four apes didn't attack it.
Zhou Wen was delighted when he saw this. He tried to get the Poison Bat to fly a distance along the surface of the sea, but the four apes still didn't react at all.
There's a chance! Zhou Wen was still worried as he experimented with releasing a few different types of Companion Beasts. The outcome was the same. They ignored him.
Even Jade Rabbit had been released by Zhou Wen. The fellow was running on the surface of the sea alive and well, but the four apes didn't attack it.
Zhou Wen felt much more at ease as he attempted to walk out.
Heaven bless me. If I can return safely this time, I guarantee that I'll burn three incense sticks every morning and evening. I'll bathe and eat vegetarian for a month … Zhou Wen felt uneasy.
Although the four apes did not make a move against him, their eyeballs were following the trajectory of his steps.
It's fine as long as we don't do anything. We are all gentlemen. A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists … Pui … Don't move your mouth either … Zhou Wen suddenly thought of the wyrm's outcome and hurriedly changed his words.
One step, two steps, three steps. Zhou Wen moved out bit by bit as he observed the four apes' reactions. If they showed any signs of displeasure, Zhou Wen would immediately stop his current actions and think of another solution.
However, the four apes didn't have any reaction. They just watched as he moved away bit by bit.
Grim Demon, who was following Zhou Wen, couldn't help but break out into a cold sweat. If it was different from what he had guessed and angered the four apes, their outcome would probably be tragic.
Finally, Zhou Wen walked to the golden-furred ape's side and walked past its legs, finally leaving the island-like turtle shell.
Zhou Wen flew to the surface of the sea, feeling delighted. He didn't care if he met the conditions. Since he could escape, escaping was the best thing to do.
Due to his previous lesson, Zhou Wen didn't dare use teleportation, afraid that he would return to the turtle shell. He unsummoned his Companion Beasts and Jade Rabbit and used Transcendent Flying Immortal. He transformed into a stream of light and flew into the distance. In the blink of an eye, he flew thousands of meters away.
Zhou Wen was excited. He had finally escaped. All he needed to do next was leave the dimensional zone.
However, just as his smile curled up, he suddenly felt the world spin. When he snapped to his senses, he realized that he was on a furry claw.
The owner of the claw was none other than the black-gray-furred ape.
Zhou Wen was alarmed. He had clearly sensed the power of space. Furthermore, it was a spatial power that was higher than his Singularity Universe and the Godfiend Era.
To be able to teleport him back from thousands of meters away was something Zhou Wen knew he couldn't do.
Even if he used Sky-Stealing Shifting, he needed to leave a mark. However, the black-gray ape had forcefully teleported him into its palm. This was much more difficult than Sky-Stealing Shifting.
Zhou Wen was a living person with a Terror-grade strength. He was someone who was good at spatial powers. He wasn't someone that could be touched easily.
Zhou Wen already had the intention of risking his life. He quickly flew out of the ape's claw and grabbed the hilt of the Immortal Culling Sword.
However, the black-gray ape had no intention of continuing its attack. It retracted its claw and returned to the posture of holding the stone artifact with both claws.
This stunned Zhou Wen as he thought to himself, What's the meaning of this? It captured me and ignored me. Could it be that it's too boring to be trapped here and wants to keep me here to chat to relieve its boredom?
"That … Brother Ape … If there's anything you need help with, just say the word. I'll definitely do my best to help you," Zhou Wen probed the four apes.
No one answered him. The four apes didn't seem to hear him at all. They still stood there expressionlessly, their eyes still staring at him like before.
What's the meaning of this? Don't you want to talk to me? Could it be that Grim Demon was right? I'm someone who meets the requirements and have to contract a Guardian before I can leave? Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and tried to leave the turtle shell again.
The four apes still didn't stop him, but when he tried to leave, he was grabbed back by the black-gray ape's claw.
The black-gray ape's spatial techniques were much better than Zhou Wen's and Liu Yun's. It was clearly an existence of a higher level.
They aren't letting me leave, but they aren't killing me. They even allow me to leave the turtle shell. From the looks of it, there's a high chance that they really want me to contract a Guardian … Zhou Wen felt somewhat depressed.
Zhou Wen guessed that it was very likely that once the Guardian was contracted and incubated, the four apes would escape. It wasn't easy for them to encounter a human like him who met the requirements, so they kept him behind.
"Brothers Ape, do you want me to contract the Guardian inside the cocoon?" Zhou Wen asked again as he stared at them, hoping to figure something out.
However, they remained silent. There was no expression on their faces. They looked like old monks in meditation. Apart from staring at Zhou Wen, they didn't do anything else.
Zhou Wen could tell that the four of them didn't treat him as a human at all. They had no intention of communicating with him at all.
Since they don't seem to want to kill me, I'll give it a try. Zhou Wen left the turtle shell again and flew out from the middle of the four apes. However, this time, he didn't escape. Instead, he flew towards the stone artifact above.
When he arrived above the stone artifact, he saw the Guardian cocoon with his own eyes. The Guardian cocoon was also a stone. It was similar in color to the stone artifact. If one didn't look carefully, they would think that the stone was part of the stone artifact.
