"Ah Sheng, after some thought, the problem might be with the Aoyin stone statue. Get someone to carefully inspect the stone statue, but you have to be careful. I have a nagging feeling that it's a little strange for the stone statue to appear in such a place. It might be fatal." Zhou Wen couldn't explain what he had discovered in-game, so he could only tactfully tell An Sheng.
"Alright, I'll get someone to check the stone statue again," An Sheng replied seriously.
After hanging up, Zhou Wen entered the game again and continued attacking the stone statue in-game. This time, Zhou Wen was obedient. He stayed far away from the stone statue and blew a gust of Grand Yin Wind over.
When the Taiyin Wind hit the statue, the statue actually opened its mouth and swallowed the Taiyin Wind. The terrifying Taiyin Wind was like a bottomless pit, it was swallowed by the statue.
Even the Grand Yin Wind is useless? Zhou Wen frowned slightly. He knew that it was probably impossible to deal with the Aoyin stone statue with brute force. He had to think of a solution.
I remember that in the ghost stories Grandpa told me when I was young, there were many stories about sacrificing ghosts and deities. In ancient times, humans believed in the existence of ghosts and gods, so there were often rituals to worship ghosts and gods. Some ignorant and evil people would even use living people as sacrifices to the ghosts and gods. Could it be that the Aoyin statue is placed there, do we need to offer sacrifices to it? Although Zhou Wen felt that this idea was a little ridiculous, he had no other choice. He could only give it a try.
Zhou Wen didn't have the conditions to sacrifice a living person to the stone statue. Even if he had the conditions, he wouldn't do it. Therefore, after some thought, Zhou Wen caught two Poison Bats and brought them to the Aoyin stone statue. He offered them to Aoyin as an offering.
However, when Zhou Wen sent the two Poison Bats to the stone statue's mouth, the stone statue didn't react.
Do I really need to use living people? Zhou Wen thought for a moment before smashing the Poison Bat's head and sending it to the stone statue.
This time, the stone statue reacted. It opened its mouth and sucked, swallowing the two Poison Bats that had their heads smashed open.
After swallowing the Poison Bat, Zhou Wen felt that the passageways on both sides seemed to have changed, but he couldn't tell what was different. Zhou Wen hurriedly ran towards the left passageway.
After stepping into the passageway, he found that it was still a square stone passageway. It had not become circular, and there were no sharp crystals. He could not help but feel happy and quickly rushed into the passageway.
The passageway wasn't long. It was only about a hundred meters long. Soon, Zhou Wen reached the end and discovered a stone door. When he pushed it open, there was a palace inside.
Before Zhou Wen could carefully size up the palace, a terrifying dimensional creature pounced at him. Zhou Wen only had time to see its shadow before the blood-colored avatar was smacked to death.
Zhou Wen saw that it was a monster that looked like a tiger or wolf with two tails on its back. Its body emitted black flames. Even with his Ghost Steps, he failed to dodge the monster's attack. Even if it wasn't at the Mythical stage, it wasn't far from it.
Zhou Wen refused to give up. He came in front of the stone statue again and sacrificed two Poison Bats to Aoyin. Then, he turned to the right passageway. Indeed, the right passageway had become safe. There were no strange text monsters.
At the end of the right passageway was another palace. Just as Zhou Wen opened the door, he saw a gigantic snake standing with its head held high. It spat out a mouthful of black smoke at the blood-colored avatar.
Zhou Wen hurriedly summoned the remaining Purple Air Bell and sucked in the black smoke. Then, he shook the bell and spat the black smoke at the strange snake.
The black smoke that was like a tidal wave instantly drowned the strange snake's massive body. The strange snake opened its mouth and sucked in the black smoke. It didn't cause it any damage.
Then, Zhou Wen saw black gas rise from the strange snake's body as though an ancient demon god was enveloping it.
Zhou Wen cursed inwardly. Just as he turned around to escape, the snake's eyes turned into mirrors that reflected the blood-colored avatar's figure.
The blood-colored avatar didn't run for long before it collapsed to the ground and died. The game screen turned black again. Zhou Wen had no idea how the blood-colored avatar died.
Don't tell me the creatures in the two palaces are at the Mythical stage? Zhou Wen was secretly alarmed. Just as he was about to probe further, he heard his phone ring.
When Zhou Wen saw that it was An Sheng, he immediately picked up the call.
"Young Master Wen, as you expected, there's something wrong with the stone statue," An Sheng said directly.
"What did you discover?" Zhou Wen asked.
"In the beginning, the stone statue was normal. No problems were discovered. Later, an expert tried to extend a mechanical arm into the stone statue's mouth to investigate, but it was swallowed by the stone statue. After that, there was a brief change in the passageway on both sides. Our people could enter the passageway without disappearing, but the time was very short. In less than an hour, the passageway returned to normal," An Sheng said calmly.
However, Zhou Wen could tell that they had probably sacrificed quite a bit this time.
"From the looks of it, the stone statue needs sacrifices. Why don't we try using dimensional creatures as sacrifices? If it's really Aoyin, it might be interested in the brains of dimensional creatures," Zhou Wen said.
"I'll get someone to give it a try." An Sheng paused for a moment before saying, "I found a palace door at the end of both passageways, but I didn't get them to open the palace. Young Master Wen, what do you think?"
"The Aoyin guarding the passageway is already so terrifying. There will definitely be powerful dimensional creatures guarding the palace. They might even be Mythical creatures. I think it's best to be careful. Don't easily open the palace door." Zhou Wen could only give a reminder. He couldn't possibly say that he had already entered the palace in-game and that there was a terrifying existence suspected to be a Mythical creature inside, right?
"I think so too. If there really is a Mythical creature inside, it's not something we can deal with. We can only seek the Overseer's advice." An Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Wen, it's all thanks to you that we were able to make such rapid progress. Unfortunately, you are still too young. In a few years, if you can advance to the Epic stage, we will have a chance to fight alongside each other."
"I have no intention of joining the military. After I graduate, I plan on opening a crystal shop to pass the time," Zhou Wen said.
"You aren't that kind of person." Without waiting for Zhou Wen to say anything, An Sheng continued, "I'll hang up first. I still have to report the progress to the Overseer."
"Ah Sheng, if you aren't confident, don't enter the palace behind the passageway. I have a feeling that there will be extremely terrifying dimensional creatures inside," Zhou Wen exhorted again.
"Don't worry," Ah Sheng said before hanging up. After Ah Sheng said that, he hung up. It was unknown if he had taken Zhou Wen's words to heart.
