Wearing the Dragon Imprisoned Armor, Zhou Wen landed on the stone cocoon and didn't sense any energy fluctuations. The gray patterns didn't react either.
This made Zhou Wen doubt his judgment. If the gray patterns really sealed the stone cocoon, there should be a protective mechanism. Now that there was no reaction at all, it made Zhou Wen feel uncertain.
He squatted down, bent down, and reached out to touch the stone cocoon. It turned out that he had only wanted to wipe the dust away so that he could observe the gray patterns more clearly.
However, when he touched it with his hand, he actually wiped away many of the gray patterns. This gave Zhou Wen a fright.
Zhou Wen was alarmed as he instantly flew up again. In midair, he sized up the stone cocoon and stone artifact, as well as the four apes.
He remembered watching some movies in the past. Once some seals were destroyed by humans, the big boss inside would be released. At the same time, it would be accompanied by some dazzling light effects. There might even be earthquakes or mountain collapses.
However, nothing happened after observing in midair for a while. The four apes didn't react, and the stone cocoon was very stable, just like before.
Are these gray patterns really seals? Why did they disappear just by wiping them? I didn't use any strength at all! Zhou Wen had an odd expression as he returned to the stone cocoon and tried wiping it again.
The gray patterns seemed to be dust. They disappeared with a gentle wipe, and he couldn't see any use.
After wiping out a small area, the stone cocoon was already very clean. Zhou Wen dripped another drop of blood on it and thought to himself, It should work this time.
Slurp!
Zhou Wen's blood slid down again without any intention of seeping through.
The corners of Zhou Wen's eyes twitched. This was completely different from what he had imagined.
I don't believe it. Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and reached out to wipe away the other gray patterns. As he did so, he observed the reactions of the four apes and the cocoon of the Guardian.
There was no reaction at all. It made Zhou Wen suspect that the gray patterns were really dust and not what he had imagined.
As the gray patterns were wiped away, the four apes and the stone cocoon didn't react. However, Zhou Wen suddenly felt the Truth Listener earring gradually heat up.
This heat was very strange. It was different from when Truth Listener had used its powers to convert curses into Primordial Energy. Zhou Wen didn't sense Truth Listener converting Primordial Energy at all. Instead, it was Truth Listener itself that produced some thoughts.
Zhou Wen looked at the stone cocoon in a daze before sensing Truth Listener's thoughts.
Could it be that the four apes aren't interested in me, but Truth Listener? Zhou Wen thought as he summoned Truth Listener.
Truth Listener, which looked like a small golden monkey, landed directly on the stone cocoon after it came out.
Without waiting for Zhou Wen to give the order, Truth Listener grabbed the stone cocoon with its claws.
Its claws were extremely sharp. Even if it did not shatter the earring, it still had strength at the peak of the Mythical stage. But when its claws touched the stone cocoon, there was a clang. Sparks flew between its claws and the stone cocoon, but it did not leave a mark on it.
Truth Listener seemed to be very anxious. Without Zhou Wen's orders, it automatically shattered an earring.
With the shattering of the earring, Truth Listener's body began to change. It became huge and ferocious, completely different from its previous mini and cute appearance.
Bang!
Truth Listener attacked the stone cocoon again, but the outcome was the same. It failed to leave a mark on it.
Without any hesitation, the Harken shattered the second earring, and the Harken's body became even more ferocious.
Zhou Wen watched Truth Listener attack the stone cocoon. Although he didn't know what was going on, he could tell that Truth Listener seemed to be very interested in the Guardian inside the cocoon.
However, he didn't know if its interest was a blessing or a curse for the Guardian inside.
As Truth Listener attacked the stone cocoon, Zhou Wen had been observing the four apes below. Although the four apes still didn't move, their eyes were clearly different from before. It was as though they were glowing.
Furthermore, their gazes were finally no longer on Zhou Wen. Instead, they were staring at Truth Listener.
No, it should be said that they had been staring at Truth Listener from the beginning. However, Truth Listener had been on Zhou Wen's ear the entire time, so Zhou Wen mistakenly believed that they were looking at him.
I should have thought of it long ago. Monkeys naturally only know how to look at monkeys. How can they appreciate the beauty of humans? Zhou Wen rubbed his lips in a self-deprecating manner, finding them a little dry.
In the past, Truth Listener would shatter more than four earrings before it completely lost control and didn't listen to Zhou Wen's orders.
However, this time, it shattered the earrings. This was something that had never happened before. After the earrings shattered one by one, Zhou Wen felt his connection with Truth Listener weaken. He couldn't help but feel worried.
If this continues and Truth Listener completely loses control, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to retrieve it again. Zhou Wen was in a dilemma. He wondered if he should forcefully unsummon Truth Listener now while he still had the chance.
Crack!
The fourth earring shattered. Truth Listener was already as terrifying as an ancient fiendcelestial. Its strength instantly reached the peak of the Terror grade, just short of advancing to the Calamity grade.
This time, its claws finally pierced through the stone cocoon.
Zhou Wen saw a golden light seep out from the crack in the stone cocoon. The golden light was crystalline and pure. It made one tremble.
Purity made one feel beautiful, but if it was too pure, it would make one feel fear and evil.
For example, a pure believer would make one feel that she was beautiful and kind. However, if she purely treated the teachings as the only rule in the world, it would make one shudder.
The golden light in the stone cocoon gave Zhou Wen such a feeling. It was so pure that it made one feel afraid.
However, Truth Listener seemed to enjoy it. Its nostrils twitched as the golden light that seeped out of the stone cocoon's crack condensed into Truth Listener's nostrils like smoke before being sucked in.
When the golden light entered its body, Truth Listener's golden fur seemed to come alive as it was dyed with a layer of pure, glass-like golden halo.
Zhou Wen was surprised to discover that his connection with Truth Listener seemed to recover a little.
Truth Listener seems to be able to control its brutal consciousness … Is it because of the golden light? Zhou Wen frowned as he looked at the golden light in the stone cocoon. He didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
As Truth Listener twitched its nose, it sucked in the golden light that seeped out into its nose. It used its claws to attack the stone cocoon crazily, widening the cracks and emitting more and more golden light.
Zhou Wen stared at the crack, hoping to see what was inside.
However, apart from the pure golden light, he couldn't see anything. It was clearly a small space, but it was shockingly deep.
Crack!
Truth Listener tore open a huge hole in the cocoon as its strong body burrowed into the broken stone cocoon.
