It looked like the white cocoon wasn't far away, but when he stabbed out with his spear, it was as though he was separated by mountains and rivers. The spear tip couldn't touch the white cocoon no matter what.
With Ghost Steps, he instantly traversed a distance of a hundred meters. However, the distance between the spear tip and the white cocoon didn't decrease at all. It remained the same distance.
What's going on? Zhou Wen was secretly alarmed, but the black dragon had already rushed in. Without a word, it sucked at the blood-colored avatar. The terrifying suction force that resembled a black hole sucked the blood-colored avatar into its stomach without it being able to resist.
The game turned black, and Zhou Wen's expression was almost as black. The white cocoon was right in front of him, but for some reason, he couldn't touch it.
He dripped his blood to revive and re-entered the game. When he arrived at the underground sea again, the black dragon and war wagon had returned to their original appearances. The black dragon was locked, and the war wagon wasn't opened.
However, Zhou Wen now knew that the dragon pearl wasn't the black dragon's egg, but the mechanism to activate the war wagon.
He tried again and the blood-colored avatar rushed into the war wagon again, but it still couldn't touch the white cocoon. It looked right in front of him, but it was so far away.
Zhou Wen used all sorts of powers and Companion Beasts, but he still couldn't touch the white cocoon.
Momentarily, he couldn't think of a way to pierce through the white cocoon and obtain the blood of the creature inside. However, now that Zhou Wen could cross the underground sea, he planned on heading to the temple to take a look.
The white cocoon in the war wagon definitely couldn't be touched with brute force, so Zhou Wen didn't waste his blood. He had to figure out what kind of power the white cocoon had before he could crack it.
When the nine black dragons were chained, they couldn't catch up to Zhou Wen. After Zhou Wen rushed through the underground sea, he passed through the mountainous region and arrived at the spot where the Longevity Tree was. He wanted to see what the Longevity Tree was like in-game.
However, when he arrived at the stone palace where the Longevity Tree was, he realized that there was no Longevity Tree. The back hall was empty except for a stone drum.
There's no Longevity Tree? What's going on? Zhou Wen was alarmed.
If the game was different from reality, Zhou Wen would have to be even more careful when entering dimensional zones in the future. Even with the game guide, he couldn't randomly enter dimensional zones; otherwise, it would be easy for something to happen.
However, this was the first time Zhou Wen had encountered a situation where the game was different from reality.
However, Zhou Wen also thought of a possibility. If the Longevity Tree wasn't something that existed in the dimensional zone, it made sense that it didn't exist in-game.
Zhou Wen was momentarily unable to determine the reason. It was only a guess.
He originally wanted to get a Longevity Fruit in the game, but now he could only give up on that idea.
After circling around the stone temple and passing through the cave beneath the fault, Zhou Wen followed the map An Sheng had given him and arrived at the temple on the other side. It was the same as the one he had seen before. There wasn't much difference.
There were two stone statues in front of the temple's door. Just like the stone statues at the entrance of the ruins, Zhou Wen turned the stone statues and the door opened.
Due to the detailed method An Sheng and company used to enter the temple, the blood-colored avatar quickly arrived at the innermost layer of the temple. There were no dimensional creatures in the temple, only some special mechanisms. As long as one didn't trigger them, there wouldn't be any danger.
What was truly terrifying was the inner temple that An Sheng and company had discovered. Zhou Wen came in front of the altar, where the former principal had left the secret code. The altar in the game naturally didn't have it, but this altar was the key to opening the inner temple's entrance.
Zhou Wen searched his surroundings and found seven stone furnaces placed in different spots in the temple. He placed the stone furnaces in a certain position in front of the altar before hearing a rumble. The innermost wall of the temple moved and slowly rose, revealing the space behind it.
As the situation in the inner temple hadn't been figured out, there was very little news from An Sheng. Zhou Wen only knew that there was a stone statue in the inner temple. Then, he entered the inner temple and stepped over the stone statue. None of them came out alive as they vanished.
When the stone wall completely rose up, it revealed a stone passageway behind. The passageway was squarish and about thirty to forty meters in. When the passageway came to an end, it split into two paths that led left and right. And at the T-shaped passageway, there was indeed a stone statue.
The stone statue was very simple and unadorned. It was about the height of a person and looked like a cloaked person standing there. However, the stone statue's face was somewhat strange. There was only a mouth, no eyes, nose, or eyebrows. It was only slightly open, as though it wanted to speak but didn't say anything.
The stone statue made one feel repressed. One had the urge to make the stone statue close its mouth or open its mouth to finish speaking.
Zhou Wen walked in front of the stone statue and carefully sized it up. The more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He decided not to look at the stone statue and looked at the passageways on both sides.
It was a squarish passageway, but it was pitch black inside. It was unknown where it led to. The An family had already tried many times, but no matter which way they chose, it was the same. None of those who entered could come out alive.
Zhou Wen got Doctor Darkness to possess him and used Light of Penetration to look at the left passageway. After the transparent light shone into the left passageway, it seemed to vanish. He couldn't see what was inside at all.
How strange. Could it be that the passageway is affected by spatial forces? Is that why even Light of Penetration can't shine in? Zhou Wen thought for a moment before summoning a few Companion Beasts and entering the left passageway.
Just as the Companion Beasts stepped into the left passageway, they immediately lost contact with Zhou Wen. It was unknown if they were dead or what was going on. This was the same news An Sheng had sent.
No one from the An family could enter, so they naturally couldn't send any news out. Up to now, no one knew what was going on inside the passageway.
Zhou Wen summoned Ghost Bride again, but it was the same. After entering, he immediately lost contact with her. It was unknown if she was dead or alive.
Even ghosts can't enter? Zhou Wen frowned slightly. There was only one way left. It was to let the blood-colored avatar enter to take a look. Even if it died, he could obtain some information.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Wen controlled the blood-colored avatar to walk towards the left passageway. If this were real, he definitely wouldn't have stepped in.
Therefore, Zhou Wen was very impressed with soldiers. Even though they knew that they might not survive, they would still press forward as long as they had orders.
If he could understand some of the secrets in the passageway and reduce the sacrifices of those soldiers, it would be a good deed.
The moment the blood-colored avatar stepped into the left passageway, Zhou Wen couldn't help but shiver. He had an ominous feeling.
The originally dark passageway became much brighter after the blood-colored avatar stepped into it.
