The originally squarish passageway suddenly changed. At this moment, the passageway had become oval and the passageway had become curved. There were many sharp crystals on the stone walls that emitted a faint glow. Rows of them looked like sharp teeth.
When he looked back, he realized that the T-junction and the stone statue were gone. It was also a circular passageway with many sharp crystals. He couldn't see the end at a glance.
It was unknown where Ghost Bride had floated over from. She was actually beside Zhou Wen, but the other Companion Beasts were gone.
Just as Zhou Wen was feeling puzzled, he suddenly felt the passageway tremble violently. No, it shouldn't be described as trembling. The entire passageway was shrinking. Furthermore, the inner walls of the passageway were spinning. Due to the spinning, the sharp crystals turned into terrifying weapons that resembled cutting machines.
As the passageway shrank, the space that the blood-colored avatar could stand in decreased. Zhou Wen hurriedly summoned the Overlord Spear, hoping to stab a huge hole in the shrinking passageway.
However, when the Overlord Spear stabbed out, it failed to pierce through the stone wall. It was unknown how thick the stone wall was.
The spinning stone wall made Zhou Wen unable to hold the Overlord Spear as he was swept up.
In midair, Zhou Wen summoned the banana fan again. The Grand Yin Wind blew into the passageway, but it wasn't of much use. The strong wind blew along the passageway for an unknown distance, but it didn't touch anything.
As for the passageway, it became tighter and tighter before completely closing. The blood-colored avatar was also strangled as the game screen went black.
Zhou Wen's expression turned nasty. If the former principal and company had encountered the same situation after entering the passageway, their chances of survival were almost zero.
Ghost Bride, who only has a ghost body, wasn't strangled by the strange passageway. However, after Ghost Bride entered the passageway, she lost contact with me. It's useless even if she can survive inside. Zhou Wen thought for a moment before activating the Zhuolu instance dungeon again. He wanted to see what would happen to the right passageway.
If the right passageway was the same as the left, he could basically give up on any hope of rescuing the former principal.
When Zhou Wen arrived at the passageway again, he decisively chose the right passageway.
When he stepped into the passageway, he couldn't help but shiver as an ominous feeling rose in his heart once again.
The passageway on the right was different from the one on the left. It was still a square-shaped stone passageway, and there were no sharp crystals.
However, on the stone walls of the tunnel, Zhou Wen discovered many strange words. They looked like hieroglyphics, but they seemed somewhat different. Anyway, Zhou Wen didn't recognize them.
Looking back, he found that the crossroad from where he came in had also disappeared.
Zhou Wen felt a little more at ease. Although he found it ominous, there wasn't any fatal danger. If the former principal and company had chosen the right path, they might have survived.
Zhou Wen controlled the blood-colored avatar to walk forward. For some reason, Zhou Wen had a nagging feeling that there were many pairs of eyes watching him in the dark. However, when he looked around, he didn't discover any creatures.
As he walked, he felt that something was amiss. The feeling of being watched intensified.
"Is it those words?" Zhou Wen frowned slightly as he stared at the strange text on the stone wall. If there was anything in the tunnel, it was these strange text.
Zhou Wen summoned the Overlord Spear and stabbed at one of the words on the stone wall. The Overlord Spear's Ever-Victorious came into effect as it stabbed into the stone wall and pierced through the words.
Pfft!
Zhou Wen felt a tearing pain in his left ear as blood spewed out from the blood-colored avatar's ear.
In the next second, Zhou Wen saw the strange words transform into tiny monsters with tails and oval bodies. There were words engraved on them, but the words had eyes. They opened their mouths full of sharp teeth and flapped their bat-like wings as they bit at the blood-colored avatar.
Zhou Wen brandished the Overlord Spear to attack the tiny monsters, but every time his spear stabbed a tiny monster, an organ would rupture. After killing a few tiny monsters, the blood-colored avatar's body couldn't hold on any longer.
Summoning the banana fan, the Grand Yin Wind blew at the horde of tiny monsters. Immediately, they were sent flying as their bodies froze into pieces.
Almost at the same time, the blood-colored avatar's body turned into ice before shattering to the ground. The game screen also went black.
"What are those strange things? Attacking them will actually cause a backlash?" Zhou Wen naturally saw the uniqueness of the tiny monsters, but even though he saw it, he couldn't think of a solution.
No matter which path I choose, it seems to be a dead end. The former principal and company are probably in danger. Zhou Wen sighed inwardly. From the looks of it, the former principal was probably doomed.
Zhou Wen tried a few more times. Even if he didn't provoke the tiny monsters formed from the words, they would pounce on him and bite him. Even if Zhou Wen wore the stone armor formed from the Stone Chi, he couldn't block the sharp teeth of the tiny monsters. They seemed to be able to bite through anything.
The two passageways on the left and right are man-eating passageways … It's impossible to pass through … Zhou Wen thought to himself when an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. Wait … man-eating …
He thought of the stone statue at the T-junction. The stone statue only had a mouth and no other facial features. It made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
And the passageways on the left and right seemed to be eaten. There seemed to be a connection between them.
When Zhou Wen came in front of the stone statue again, he didn't enter the two passageways. Instead, he carefully sized up the stone statue, hoping to find some clues.
However, he couldn't tell what was strange about the stone statue. Steeling his heart, he took out his Overlord Spear and shot at the stone statue's head.
However, in the next second, Zhou Wen saw an extremely terrifying scene. The stone statue opened its mouth and swallowed the blood-colored avatar along with its spear. The game screen instantly turned dark.
The problem really lies with the stone statue. Zhou Wen didn't immediately enter the game again. Instead, he called An Sheng.
The phone rang a few times before it connected. An Sheng's voice sounded. "Young Master Wen, what's the matter?"
"Ah Sheng, have you checked the stone statue in the inner sanctum?" Zhou Wen asked.
"I've checked it in detail, but I didn't find any traps," An Sheng said.
"Have you figured out who the stone statue is?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"I've invited some experts to study it. They believe that the greatest possibility is Aoyin, a monster from myths and legends. Its body is somewhat human-like, but it has immense strength and likes to eat human brains …" An Sheng recounted the experts' analysis in detail.
