"I didn't lose it, but the stone artifact was eaten by one of my Companion Beasts. It has now turned into a stone egg and is in the process of evolving." Zhou Wen took out the stone egg that Truth Listener had transformed into. "I wonder if this can be used as a replacement for the stone artifact?"
"This … I don't know … I'll give it a try …" An Sheng wasn't sure either. After some thought, he said, "Give me the stone egg and leave in the chariot. This chariot will keep driving out of the ruins, so there shouldn't be any danger. Lu Yunxian and Lu Ning's injuries also need to be treated. There are no healing-type Companion Beasts here. "
"Were you the one who sent Lu Ning out?" Zhou Wen said as he handed the stone egg to An Sheng.
"The Blood Threadworms on her aren't easy to deal with, so I had to send her out first," An Sheng said as he took the stone egg.
"What's going on with you and Lord Alcohol?" Zhou Wen didn't believe that An Sheng would be careless enough to bring a group of people with ulterior motives without knowing anything.
"It can be considered a mutual benefit. Lord Alcohol has a motive, and I also need someone to attract the attention of the Longevity Tree at the Temple of Immortals." An Sheng carefully put away the stone egg.
"Have Sis Lan and the former principal been found? Are they alright? "Zhou Wen asked the question he wanted to know the most.
"They should be inside the temple. However, due to the lack of the stone artifact, we couldn't open the temple. Now that we have this stone egg, we should be able to open the temple and rescue them if nothing unexpected happens. Go back first. We'll talk when I get back." As An Sheng spoke, he jumped off the strange chariot and headed for the cave that the strange chariot had come from. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Zhou Wen heaved a sigh of relief as he leaned against the chariot's back. He felt his entire body hurt.
If I had known that I could have taken the chariot directly to the temple to find Ah Sheng, I wouldn't have gone through so much trouble. I nearly died. Zhou Wen looked at Lu Yunxian and Lu Ning and saw that they were in terrible condition. He didn't know if they could last until they returned to the camp.
On the return journey, the chariot took the same route as when it came. After passing through the desert and sea, the chariot drove out of the ruins' underground tunnel.
Zhou Wen brought Lu Yunxian and Lu Ning back to the camp. Zhao Xin treated their injuries and finally saved their lives. The Blood Threadworms that had crawled into their bodies weren't fatal, but as Doctor Darkness was seriously injured, he was temporarily unable to remove the Blood Threadworms. All he could do was leave them unconscious.
Zhou Wen was also severely injured, but the Spring Recovery Vine's strength was limited. Zhou Wen got Zhao Xin to take care of Lu Yunxian and Lu Ning while he used the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra's recovery powers to slowly recover.
Lying in bed, he grinded the bat cave again. Although the drop rate of bats wasn't high, there were quite a lot of them. They did drop some items, but none of them were good.
When will a baby tiger drop? I'll bring the baby tiger to grind the bat cave. I'll definitely gain a lot more. Zhou Wen was extremely displeased that he hadn't managed to get the baby tiger.
Arriving at the underground seaside again, Zhou Wen carefully sized up the sapphire sky, but he didn't discover anything inside.
"Why isn't there a chariot in the game?" Since he couldn't travel in the air, Zhou Wen could only walk on the surface of the sea. He rode on White Shadow of Poison and flew at a low altitude, not daring to fly too high.
After flying for a short while, he saw seawater spray out as a black gem-like sea dragon rushed out of the sea. It opened its mouth and tried to devour Zhou Wen and White Shadow of Poison.
Its dragon mouth was like a black hole with terrifying suction force, sucking White Shadow of Poison in. It had no way of resisting and couldn't even fly out despite struggling.
Zhou Wen hurriedly got White Shadow of Poison to use its Shadow of Darkness skill. It was really effective as it transformed into a shadow along with the blood-colored avatar. Then, it used Flash to escape the dragon's devouring.
But soon, from different directions, a few black dragon heads popped out and opened their mouths to suck at White Shadow of Poison.
Zhou Wen's heart remained calm as he controlled the blood-colored avatar to use Ghost Steps to jump off White Shadow of Poison's back and rush into the sea.
White Shadow of Poison was bitten by a few dragon heads and could no longer survive. After the blood-colored avatar jumped into the sea, Zhou Wen controlled it to quickly dive down as he looked at the bodies of the sea dragons.
Zhou Wen had seen them twice before and realized that the parts of their bodies under the sea seemed to be connected. Now that he had the chance, he naturally had to take a closer look.
As far as he could see, Zhou Wen was surprised to discover that it wasn't a nine-headed dragon. The parts of the nine black dragons' bodies under the sea were chained up.
Black chains passed through their spines, and their bodies were connected to a black war chariot. The war chariot seemed to be made of metal. The walls were sealed and there was a roof. It was impossible to see what was inside.
When the nine black dragons moved, they would pull the huge metal war chariot slowly. Therefore, the speed of the black dragons was greatly restricted. Otherwise, they would have run even faster.
A war chariot pulled by nine black dragons. Who has the right to sit in such a war chariot? Zhou Wen didn't know if there were any creatures inside the war chariot. If there were, it would be terrifying.
However, from the looks of it, it had been abandoned for a long time. There were many things like seaweed wrapped around it. There were also some shellfish and corals that had taken root, making the war chariot look very strange.
Wait … What's that? Zhou Wen's gaze landed on the corals on the war chariot and suddenly lit up.
In the midst of the corals and the seaweed, there was a black gemstone-like bead. Zhou Wen suspected that the bead was the legendary dragon pearl or a dragon egg.
If I can obtain that dragon pearl, I wonder if I can use its power to raise my final stat to 21 points? Just as Zhou Wen had this thought, the game screen turned black.
A black dragon devoured the blood-colored avatar, ending Zhou Wen's game.
However, Zhou Wen wasn't depressed. Instead, he was extremely excited. He seemed to see hope of advancing to the Epic stage.
Those black dragons were very likely Mythical creatures. The dragon pearl in the coral nest might be their descendants. Eating a dragon egg should be able to replace the effects of the divine blood.
Most importantly, the nine black dragons were chained to the black war chariot. As the war chariot was too heavy, the nine black dragons' mobility was greatly affected. This gave Zhou Wen an opportunity to snatch the dragon pearl. Otherwise, it was impossible for Zhou Wen to survive in front of those Mythical creatures.
How can I obtain that dragon pearl? Zhou Wen kept thinking.
Although he felt that it was highly possible, Zhou Wen made a few more attempts. However, he failed to approach the war chariot and was devoured by the black dragons.
From the looks of it, I have to think of a meticulous plan. I wonder if kneeling will work? Zhou Wen thought to himself.
