Ghost Bride didn't dare enter the underground tunnel, so Zhou Wen let her circle the ruins.
The ruins spanned more than five kilometers and were basically filled with broken stone walls and stone pillars. There were no dimensional creatures to be seen, and even the blood rain had become much smaller.
Ghost Bride had already searched the ruins several times, but she still couldn't find the problem. She sent her Companion Beasts in, but apart from Ghost Bride, all of them had their heads chopped off.
It's impossible that there aren't any clues. Since Ouyang Lan and Ah Sheng can enter, it means that they must have discovered the source of the beheading power. Zhou Wen repeated it again and again, letting his Companion Beasts walk in one by one. Then, he saw how they had their heads chopped off, hoping to find clues.
It was true that he couldn't tell anything with his eyes, but after repeatedly listening with Truth Listener, Zhou Wen finally discovered the problem.
Every time Zhou Wen's Companion Beast's head was chopped off, he would hear an extremely faint sound.
The sound wasn't the sound of bones and flesh being chopped off. Instead, it was an extremely secretive sound that sounded like a breeze blowing.
But if it was the wind, then it was a bit strange, because the inside of the ruins was very strange. Even the blood rain outside suddenly stopped floating when it entered the ruins. The blood rain slowly fell vertically like snowflakes, and there was no trace of the wind at all.
However, when the pets were beheaded, Zhou Wen did hear the sound of the wind.
He made the Gold-Armored Beast walk into the ruins again. Zhou Wen closed his eyes and used Truth Listener's ability to listen carefully.
As the Gold-Armored Beast walked, its head was suddenly chopped off by something, but there was nothing there.
Wind … It's indeed wind … Zhou Wen suddenly opened his eyes as the blood-colored avatar looked at the Gold-Armored Beast's corpse in the ruins.
At the instant the Gold-Armored Beast's head was chopped off, Truth Listener's ability had indeed captured traces of the wind. However, the wind appeared out of thin air and didn't come from the outside world. It was as though it had suddenly appeared on the Gold-Armored Beast's neck and chopped off its head.
It's impossible for the wind to appear for no reason, but there's no wind from the outside world blowing at the Gold-Armored Beast. Then, where did the wind come from? Zhou Wen frowned in thought.
"Commander Lu, do you know how the wind is formed?" Zhou Wen suddenly looked up and asked Lu Yunxian, who was scouting ahead.
Lu Yunxian thought for a moment and said, "According to previous scientific explanations, the wind is a natural phenomenon produced by the flow of air. Under normal circumstances, the kinetic energy that causes the wind is the heat of the sun. The surface's temperature rises due to the sun's illumination, causing the surface's air to expand and rise …"
After explaining the formation of the wind, Lu Yunxian said, "I didn't do well in school. This is all I remember. Young Master Wen, am I right?"
"My results are worse than yours." Zhou Wen fell into deep thought after hearing Lu Yunxian's words.
Zhou Wen didn't sense any abnormalities in the temperature in the ruins. Furthermore, the blood rain fell vertically without any signs of airflow. He couldn't figure out why the wind had appeared out of thin air.
Battalion Commander Lu continued, "But in this era, there are many things that can't be explained by science. Speaking of wind, I thought of something. When Madam Lan saw the blood rain, she said that the blood rain might be the blood rain of Chi You's subordinate, the Rain Master. Also, there is a god who is as famous as the Rain Master and also works under Chi You. This god is proficient in the power of the wind. I heard from Madam Lan that he has a type of wind power called the Realmwind. "
"What's Realmwind?" Zhou Wen's heart stirred as he hurriedly asked.
Commander Lu's words reminded him that the Count of the Wind and the Rain Master were equally famous. The entire ancient battlefield was covered in blood rain, but he didn't feel the power of the wind.
The wind that appeared out of nowhere in the ruins was very likely related to the Wind Count.
"Actually, I'm not too sure either. I only heard a few words from Madam Lan." After a pause, Commander Lu continued, "Wind is the result of the flow of air, but this is only for a world. If two different worlds are opened up, the air in the two worlds will also flow. And the Count of the Wind has this ability. It's called the Realmwind. As for how the Count of the Wind did it, or if the Count of the Wind and the Realmwind really exist, that's not something I know."
Zhou Wen thought for a moment, feeling that Commander Lu's words had inspired him greatly.
It was impossible for wind to appear out of thin air, but in the ruins, there was wind that appeared out of thin air. If it was said to be the wind produced by the intersection of different worlds, it seemed to make sense.
Could it be that the decapitation in the ruins was done in secret by the Count of the Wind? Zhou Wen thought about it and felt that something wasn't right. A Mythical figure like the Count of the Wind didn't need to use such tricks. A casual breath from him could probably kill countless Epic experts.
If it's not the Count of the Wind, it should be a dimensional creature with powers similar to the Realmwind. It must be hiding in the ruins. As long as I find it and kill it, I can safely enter the ruins. But how can I find it? Zhou Wen felt a headache coming on.
Ghost Bride had already searched the ruins several times, but she didn't find anything. It was very likely that the wind-elemental creature had been lying in the dark, making it difficult to find him.
If only Banana Fairy was here. She's also wind-elemental, so she should be able to have a certain effect. Zhou Wen glanced at the chaos space and saw that the tornado was still blowing.
As for the Goddess of Wind's Protection, after Banana Fairy ate the gem, the necklace was useless. It even no longer had the ability to be immune to the wind element.
As Zhou Wen studied it, he encountered two more Wangliang along the way. They were finished off by Doctor Darkness, so he didn't encounter any more trouble. The Mei was nowhere to be seen as though she had really escaped.
When the two of them arrived in front of the ruins, they saw a few tents in front of it. There were also people in special raincoats patrolling.
"Zhou Wen, why are you here?" The patrolling person was first taken aback when he saw Zhou Wen and Lu Yunxian before coming over to greet them.
"Zhao Xin, where's An Sheng?" Zhou Wen recognized that the patrolling person was Zhao Xin and couldn't help but be delighted. Since Zhao Xin was still here, perhaps An Sheng and company hadn't entered the ruins.
"Adjutant An has led people into the ruins. It's been almost a day. Young Master Wen, it's best you return quickly. It's too dangerous here," Zhao Xin said.
Zhou Wen frowned and continued asking, "Isn't there a terrifying power of decapitation in the ruins? How did An Sheng and company enter? "
