"What's that?" Liu Yun looked at the thing that came out of the cave with a look of surprise.
"How would I know what that is!?" Zhou Wen couldn't tell what it was either.
The thing that came out of the cave didn't look like a living creature. From the part that was exposed outside the cave, it looked a little like a metal container.
As only a portion of it was exposed, it was impossible to see its full appearance. It looked like a square metal container with many strange and mysterious patterns engraved on it. It looked extremely ancient.
The metal container was still squeezing out. As its body was slightly bigger than the cave, every movement produced an ear-piercing sound from the friction between the metal walls and the mountain walls. It was the sound Zhou Wen and company had previously heard.
Clang!
Just as Zhou Wen and Liu Yun were watching from afar, the metal container fell out of the cave and landed on the ground. Indeed, it was a metal container that was about the height of a person. It was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. It was squarish, but it was impossible to tell what it was.
The two of them exchanged looks. None of them dared to go out. They hid in the distance and watched for a while. The thing didn't move at all, as though it was really a dead object.
Furthermore, after the metal container fell out, nothing else came out of the cave.
Liu Yun wanted to know what it was, but he didn't dare take a look himself. He egged Zhou Wen on from the side. "Junior Brother, you are very capable and knowledgeable. Why don't you go and see what it is?"
"Senior Brother, of course." Zhou Wen wasn't willing to take the risk. He didn't move at all as though he was rooted to the ground.
The two of them looked at each other. Neither of them dared to go over.
Time ticked by. The two of them waited for more than half an hour, but there was no movement from the metal container.
Liu Yun's curiosity was greater than Zhou Wen's. In the end, he couldn't help but summon a Companion Beast that looked like a cat and a ferret. He controlled it to carefully approach the metal container.
The two of them stared at the Companion Beast and the metal container. Even when the Companion Beast crawled to the side of the metal container, there was still no movement.
"Climb in and see what's inside." Zhou Wen observed for a while. The metal artifact was hollow in the middle. It was a square basin, but he couldn't see what was inside. He used several viewing spells, but all he saw was chaos. He couldn't see what was inside at all.
Liu Yun naturally wouldn't take the risk with his main Companion Beast. The Companion Beast he summoned was only an ordinary Epic Companion Beast. Even if it died, he wouldn't feel the pinch. He immediately stopped bickering with Zhou Wen and ordered the Companion Beast to jump up.
Seeing that the Companion Beast was standing on the metal without any problems, Liu Yun ordered it to crawl back in.
Just as the Companion Beast entered, the metal artifact immediately reacted. The metal artifact trembled as though it had been electrocuted. There was a strange light surging inside.
Just a moment. Before the two could see anything, the metal, of of the metal container of the metal, the metal was the metal.
"Is he dead?" Zhou Wen couldn't see the situation inside the metal artifact, so he could only ask Liu Yun.
Liu Yun wore a strange expression as he didn't answer Zhou Wen's question. His eyes stared intently at the metal artifact.
Soon, Liu Yun's Companion Beast crawled out of the metal artifact. However, the Companion Beast that crawled out was clearly bigger. Its originally pale yellow fur was now resplendent with golden light, making it look like a golden-furred beast.
With a glance, Zhou Wen's eyes widened. With his present abilities, even if he didn't know what species the Companion Beast was, he could roughly tell its level.
The Companion Beast that Liu Yun summoned was clearly at the Epic stage, but after crawling out, it had become at the Mythical stage.
Both of them immediately realized that the metal tool seemed to be an incredible treasure.
"Is your Companion Beast evolvable?" Zhou Wen asked Liu Yun.
If it was an evolvable Companion Beast, it wouldn't be difficult for it to advance from the Epic to the Mythical stage because it had obtained the help of a treasure with immense energy.
However, if a non-evolved Companion Beast advanced to the Mythical stage in a metal artifact, that would be rather impressive.
"Yes, it's an evolvable Companion Beast. From the looks of it, there's quite a lot of energy inside it. It actually advanced to the Mythical stage so quickly," Liu Yun said.
As Liu Yun spoke, he suddenly teleported to the side of the metal artifact and reached out to grab it.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Wen appeared on the other side of the metal artifact and grabbed it with one hand. He knew Liu Yun too well. From Liu Yun's words, he knew that he was definitely lying. The Companion Beast he had summoned was most likely an Epic that couldn't evolve.
Now, Liu Yun's actions proved this point. Zhou Wen grabbed the edge of the metal artifact and tried to snatch it away.
To be able to advance ordinary Companion Beasts to the Mythical stage, this thing was practically a divine artifact.
Ordinary Companion Beasts could advance to the Mythical stage after staying inside for a moment. Just the thought of what changes would happen to a truly high-level Companion Beast inside was exciting.
Liu Yun was only at the Terror grade, so his strength was far inferior to Zhou Wen's. Although the two of them had grabbed the edge of the metal artifact, Zhou Wen's strength was great as he forcefully pulled the metal artifact towards him.
Just as Zhou Wen thought he was about to succeed, Liu Yun's palm that was grabbing the metal artifact suddenly vanished. Zhou Wen felt his palm empty. There was nothing left.
"Haha, Junior Brother, I'm inferior to you in fighting, but when it comes to stealing, you're still far from me. Furthermore, I gave you a chance just now, but you didn't take it. Now that I've gotten it, you can't snatch it from me. " Liu Yun took two steps back and looked at Zhou Wen smugly. Clearly, he had no idea where the metal artifact had gone.
Zhou Wen felt somewhat regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would have used Universe Reversal to get the metal artifact.
But it was already too late. Even if Zhou Wen wanted to use Universe Reversal, it was useless if he couldn't find the metal artifact.
"Congratulations on obtaining a treasure, Eldest Senior Brother. It's best you take a careful look. That item might not be of use to you." However, Zhou Wen wasn't the kind of person who believed that all the treasures in the world belonged to him. Since he had been careless and let Liu Yun snatch it, he didn't plan on vying for it.
"Haha, I understand the mentality of saying that the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. Don't worry. I'll check it carefully, but don't you dare touch it again." Liu Yun teleported far away before waving his hand again. It was unknown how he had conjured the metal artifact.
As he guarded against Zhou Wen, he carefully observed the metal artifact. Soon, he summoned another Epic Companion Beast and threw it in.
A magical scene happened again. The metal artifact trembled. In just a short while, the Epic Companion Beast that Liu Yun had thrown in advanced to the Mythical stage.
"Haha, I've finally struck it rich." Liu Yun roared with laughter, so happy that he nearly jumped up.
