It's indeed very popular. I'm just afraid that their enthusiasm will be unbearable, "Zhou Wen said indifferently.
"The An family actually didn't send An Jing. What's the meaning of finding an outsider? Are they afraid?" a cold-looking black-robed youth said.
"The An family sure is smart. They didn't dare send their own people, so they found an outsider to vent our anger." Another handsome blond youth also had a look of disdain.
"Apart from An Tianzuo, it looks like the An family doesn't have anyone else. They actually found an outsider to enter the Holy Land. I feel sad for the An family."
Zhou Wen knew that he wouldn't have it easy this time just by looking at the number of youths speaking.
"Young Master Wen, if you don't wish to participate, it's not too late to back out now. Madam instructed you to act according to the circumstances. You can't force it, "Ah Sheng whispered to Zhou Wen.
"Since I agreed to come, I can only give it a try even if it's a mountain of blades or a sea of flames. There's no reason for me to return now." Although Zhou Wen made it sound nice, in fact, if it wasn't for the fact that the special physiques could raise his physical stats, he wouldn't have been willing to get involved in this mess.
Of course, he had to return the favor. No matter what, he had to enter the Holy Land to take a look.
Ignoring the mockery of those people, Zhou Wen kept his gaze on the so-called Holy Land, hoping to find the tiny palm symbol.
The so-called Holy Land was different from what Zhou Wen had imagined. There were no magnificent ancient buildings, nor was it a paradise that looked like an immortal paradise.
In a desolate desert, there was an ancient and dilapidated stone platform. The stone platform was hexagonal, and there was a stone pillar at each corner.
The six stone pillars were engraved with different patterns. Even the carving techniques and styles were different, as though they were the work of six different craftsmen.
Unfortunately, Zhou Wen didn't see the tiny palm symbol after using Truth Listener to observe for a while.
"Shut up. This isn't a market. Whoever spouts nonsense will be disqualified." The official stopped the crowd with a cold voice and continued, "I believe your family has already told you about the rules of the Holy Land before you came. However, I still have to repeat it. Everyone who enters the Holy Land is doing so voluntarily. If any accidents happen in the Holy Land, it has nothing to do with the organizers of this trial. In other words, even if you die in there, no one will have to take responsibility."
With that said, the official looked at Zhou Wen and continued, "If anyone wishes to withdraw now, you can apply immediately. There's no need to enter the Holy Land. Once you enter the Holy Land, you have to be responsible for all your actions. You have to seek your own fortune."
Everyone knew very well that the official's words were directed at Zhou Wen. With so many people targeting him, Zhou Wen probably wouldn't have an easy time after entering the Holy Land. The chances of him dying were much higher than others.
Seeing that Zhou Wen had no intention of withdrawing, the official continued, "Since no one withdraws, this year's holy battle will officially begin. In a while, the Companion Egg market will be opened. If anyone needs a Companion Egg, they can purchase it. In the next 24 hours, you can enter the Holy Land at any time. As for whether you can leave the Holy Land alive, it will depend on your luck."
After the official said that, he got someone to open the trading market. Many merchants set up their stalls, and there were all sorts of Companion Eggs on them. They were basically at the Legendary stage.
Zhou Wen saw a few brands he was familiar with. They were all famous Companion Egg retailers in the Federation.
"Young Master Wen, feel free to choose whatever Companion Egg you need. Madam has already prepared enough money. It should be enough to buy all the Companion Eggs you need, so you don't have to worry about money," Ah Sheng said.
"There's no need. I'll just use my Companion Egg," Zhou Wen said.
Although the number of Companion Beasts a person could obtain was limitless, having a large number of Companion Beasts wasn't conducive to command. If Companion Beasts were to fight by themselves, it would be fine if they had high intelligence, but most Companion Beasts didn't have high intelligence. If they were to attack by themselves, they would be a mob. Not only would they not be able to play their intended role, they might even hinder each other.
Therefore, most people would focus on training a few Companion Beasts. It was best if they could use them as they pleased.
The Companion Beasts on Zhou Wen were all ones he was familiar with. Furthermore, they were considered top-notch at the Legendary stage, so it was enough.
"Madam is right. You really aren't willing to buy Companion Eggs." As Ah Sheng spoke, he took out a box and handed it to Zhou Wen. At the same time, he said solemnly, "Before she left, she specially instructed me to hand it to you. Madam said that you can choose not to accept the other Companion Eggs, but this was something she obtained from a dimensional zone in the past. She wants you to accept it no matter what. Otherwise, when you return, she will make you eat with her every day. She will even get Miss Jing to accompany you."
"Sis Lan, you're very thoughtful." Zhou Wen didn't reject her and took the box.
He didn't like the An siblings, but he didn't reject Ouyang Lan. Since Ouyang Lan had said so, Zhou Wen didn't reject her.
When he opened the box, he saw a black Companion Egg the size of a fist. It looked like metal, but it also had the luster of jade.
"What Companion Egg is this?" Zhou Wen looked inside the box and saw no information card.
"Madam didn't tell me. She only said that you would know after you hatch it," Ah Sheng said.
Zhou Wen nodded, but he didn't immediately hatch it. All he did was put it in his backpack before saying to Ah Sheng, "I'll accept the Companion Egg. I'll find a chance to hatch it in the future. Don't worry."
Zhou Wen had a Dao Body, so he recovered his Primordial Energy extremely quickly. He could hatch a Legendary Companion Egg at any time, so he didn't have to worry about the danger of expending too much Primordial Energy.
"Alright, now that your matters have been resolved, Old Zhou, since you aren't buying Companion Eggs, accompany me to take a look. I don't have as many excellent-grade Companion Eggs as you. This is a good opportunity. Who knows, I might be able to get a few excellent-grade ones." Li Xuan pulled Zhou Wen towards the trading market.
Li Xuan's words weren't wishful thinking. In fact, as long as one had enough money, one could indeed buy rare Legendary Companion Beasts here.
In order to leave an impression on these youths who could lead the future of the era, the various Companion Beast merchants had taken out quite a number of rare excellent-grade Companion Eggs.
Zhou Wen strolled around with Li Xuan and couldn't help but be alarmed. He had never heard of many of the Companion Eggs here, but from the introductions, many of them had very useful abilities. They were in no way inferior to the Mutated Demonized General before it was synthesized.
The Companion Eggs here were basically at that level, and the prices were astronomical. They were at least twice as expensive as the typical Companion Egg shop.
Even so, there were still many youths who were preparing to enter the Holy Land. They spent large sums of money without batting an eyelid, as though they weren't spending money.
"Thundergod General … There's actually a Thundergod General here …" Suddenly, a voice sounded, attracting many people to watch.
