"What do you want to ask? You can ask now." Zhou Wen didn't let go of Little Li's hand.
"He's already half-dead from your grasp. How are we going to ask?" A member of the Wang family said, "Let him go first. There are so many of us. Are you afraid that he will run?"
"I'm not afraid of him running. I'm just afraid that he won't run." Zhou Wen didn't let go of Little Li.
"Family Head, what's the matter? Little Li is a subordinate of our Wang family after all. Even if we want to capture him for questioning, it should be done by our Wang family. What's the matter with an outsider?" the elder said unhappily as he looked at Wang Lu.
"That's right. Why are the other things we replicated fine? Only Little Li is in trouble. Furthermore, he's clearly fine, but he looks half-dead after being captured. He doesn't even know how to speak. I'm afraid someone has some ulterior motives."
"A member of the Wang family naturally has to be dealt with by the Wang family themselves."
Many members of the Wang family were somewhat displeased with Zhou Wen, but they didn't dare take action to snatch him away. They also knew that Zhou Wen was powerful and not someone ordinary people could match.
"Zhou Wen, what's the situation with Little Li now?" Wang Lu asked Zhou Wen.
Although Wang Lu was the head of the family, it didn't mean that she could ignore the emotions of the Wang family. If the hearts of the people were gone, the family would also be gone.
Wang Lu trusted Zhou Wen, but she also had to appease the Wang family.
"I'm not sure either. I just feel that something is amiss." Zhou Wen looked at the demented Little Li and thought of his smile. He had a nagging feeling that this fellow was somewhat dangerous.
"Listen, what are you saying? You can detain a member of our Wang family just because you feel that something is amiss? "
"Family Head, he can't even explain himself. How can he do such a thing?"
When the Wang family heard Zhou Wen say that, they didn't believe him even more. They believed that he definitely had some ulterior motive.
Wang Lu was somewhat stumped, but she didn't relent. Zhou Wen could tell that Wang Lu was in a dilemma. After some thought, he said, "Forget it. Since you want him, I'll give him to you. However, if anything happens, it's none of my business."
"Outsiders don't need to worry about our Wang family," the Wang family members immediately said.
With Wang Lu around, they felt that with her luck, it was unlikely that anything would happen to her.
"Desire is really a terrible thing." Zhou Wen thought to himself, If this were any other time, these people wouldn't dare speak to me like this. For the sake of so many benefits, they aren't afraid of offending me. Oh well, it's not like I can keep Xiao Li captive anyway. Let's see what's so strange about him. "
With that said, Zhou Wen no longer held onto Little Li and returned him to the Wang family.
The two members of the Wang family took Little Li from Zhou Wen's hands. Although they were somewhat worried, afraid that there was really something wrong with Little Li, they felt a lot more at ease when they saw Little Li still in a daze.
"Little Li …" After receiving Little Li, the Wang Family wanted to wake him up and ask him some questions, but Little Li remained silent as if he had become a fool. They couldn't ask anything.
Many people still suspected that Zhou Wen had secretly done something to Little Li. They didn't believe that the two Little Li had fused into one. If they didn't know Zhou Wen's strength, they would probably want to take him down first.
"Family Head, I don't think there's a problem. Aren't those replicated Companion Eggs fine? Anyway, we aren't clones, so it should be fine. Let's not waste any more time. Let's continue."
Everyone urged Wang Lu to quickly put down the treasures the Wang family had prepared and replicate a few more.
"Alright." Wang Lu nodded and took out a box from her backpack, placing it on the pile of items.
Zhou Wen watched coldly from the side. This time, he didn't say a word.
Everyone set off again and circled around the saltwater lake. Although some people were worried that something would happen, their desire for treasures exceeded their worries.
Along the way, Zhou Wen kept observing Little Li. He was being escorted forward by two members of the Wang family. He didn't react at all.
When he returned to the place where the items were placed, there was indeed another pile of replicas. The box Wang Lu had taken out was also among them.
"See? I told you there's no problem. Isn't everything fine?"
"Quick, let's go. Replicate a few more. It's best if each of us can get one …"
"With this treasure land, our Wang family will definitely become an existence like the six families in the future."
All of them were beaming with joy, as though they would soon become nobles on Earth.
Wang Lu didn't say a word as she looked at Zhou Wen.
"Let's continue," Zhou Wen said indifferently. It was useless to say anything else now. Furthermore, they couldn't leave, so all they could do was continue walking.
Round after round, more and more things were replicated.
Ignoring the Wang family's ecstasy, Zhou Wen was also somewhat puzzled.
He had clearly seen the two Little Li fuse into one, but the replicated Companion Eggs didn't have the same situation.
Even the box Wang Lu had placed down had been replicated several times, but the strange phenomenon of fusion didn't happen.
As for what was inside the box, Zhou Wen knew what it was. As the Wang family members were too pleasantly surprised, someone accidentally let it slip. Only then did Zhou Wen know that there was a Calamity-grade Companion Egg inside.
With the Wang family's standards, they likely didn't have the ability to hunt a Calamity. It was likely that Wang Lu had obtained it through luck.
After so many rounds, Little Li remained in a daze. He didn't realize what he had done.
Could it be that there will only be problems after a living creature is replicated? Or could it be that only humans will have problems? Zhou Wen pondered over the various possibilities.
When he walked to the place where the items were placed again, there was indeed another pile of items. The Wang family members were so overjoyed that they were about to go crazy.
Many of the replicated Companion Eggs were incubated by the Wang family, so there weren't any problems.
As for the Calamity Companion Egg box, no one took it. Firstly, they needed Wang Lu's permission. Secondly, even if they took it now, they wouldn't be able to incubate it.
The Wang family didn't even have a single Calamity. Just relying on their own Primordial Energy was insufficient to incubate a Calamity Companion Beast. Forcefully incubating it would only result in death from having their Primordial Energy sucked dry. Therefore, no one requested for it to be incubated now.
Every time, Wang Lu only put away the replicated box without any intention of incubating it.
Just as everyone was excited, Zhou Wen saw Little Li, who had been in a daze, finally have an expression on his face. He revealed a strange smile again, but at this moment, no one noticed him apart from Zhou Wen.
This time, he didn't retract his smile. Instead, he kept smiling, making Zhou Wen's hair stand on end.
"Little Li, are you awake? Why are you smiling? "The Wang family member who was holding Little Li finally realized that something was amiss with him as he asked him.
