Zhou Wen put away his phone helplessly. After some thought, he planned on heading to the place Zhong Ziya had mentioned.
However, Zhou Wen wasn't sure if the item was still there. This was because Zhong Ziya's item was hidden in Dragon's Well. Back then, the bureau's director had personally led people to search, so it was very likely that they had already found the item.
As for what it was, Zhong Ziya didn't say, nor did Zhou Wen have the time to ask.
When he arrived at Old Dragon Cave again, Zhou Wen felt a little upset. The scene of Wang Mingyuan wearing an apron and cooking for the four of them was still vivid in his mind, but now, it was in a mess.
He wanted to tidy up the laboratory and restore it to its former appearance, but he felt a little uncomfortable. He picked up a few pieces of equipment and eventually put them down.
They're no longer here. So what if I tidy it up? Zhou Wen sighed inwardly. After putting down the items, he walked straight towards Dragon's Well.
The stone platform beside Dragon's Well had already been demolished. The chain had long disappeared, making Zhou Wen even more uncomfortable.
Back then, he had pulled the chain many times. The few of them had jokingly claimed that he was fishing for a dragon, but they had never really caught anything. Not to mention a dragon, they hadn't even caught a snake. They were just consoling themselves.
Switching to the Godfiend Life Providence, Zhou Wen flew down the wall of the well and stopped about twenty meters away from the well.
The cold fog here was already very thick. It was almost impossible to see one's fingers. Zhou Wen approached the wall of the well and reached out to touch the stone. It was bone-chilling to the touch, as though it had been frozen for thousands of years.
Zhou Wen wasn't worried about encountering danger. He had entered and exited Dragon's Well many times in-game, so he knew that this place was still very far from where the white dragon was. He wouldn't alarm it.
After groping for a while, he felt ice-cold stones. Suddenly, Zhou Wen felt something soft in his hand as though he had touched a sponge. He couldn't help but feel delighted.
After carefully groping the surroundings, he indeed found the wooden board that Zhong Ziya had mentioned. He removed the wooden board, revealing a hole that could only fit an arm. Zhou Wen reached in and fumbled for a while before taking out a bamboo tube.
The hole wasn't deep. After touching it again and seeing that there was nothing else, Zhou Wen flew out of Dragon's Well with the bamboo tube.
After leaving the Dragon's Well, he carefully sized up the bamboo tube and discovered that it was emerald green in color. It looked like freshly chopped bamboo, and the opening was stuffed with a piece of cloth.
Zhou Wen removed the sealing cloth and looked inside the bamboo tube. He saw something rolled up inside that looked like paper.
When he poured the item out, Zhou Wen realized that it wasn't paper, but a piece of beast hide from an unknown animal. After some processing, it had turned into a leather scroll.
The workmanship of the leather scroll was very good, but because it seemed to be a little old, it was a little worn out.
"What did Zhong Ziya put here?" Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled as he unrolled the leather scroll. He saw that there were many words written on it. As the words looked a little faded, the passage of time hadn't completely erased their traces.
Zhong Ziya usually doesn't like reading, so why would he hide such an item here? It would be easier to believe that this item was hidden by Jiang Yan. Zhou Wen was somewhat curious as he carefully read the contents on the leather scroll.
Zhou Wen couldn't help but be alarmed when he read it.
The leather scroll recorded a witchcraft known as Spirit Casting. It described how humans could fuse with other living beings, but the method mentioned in it was too shocking. It didn't conform to human common sense. If Zhou Wen had seen this in the past, he would have treated it as something fabricated by a delusional person. It was impossible to realize.
However, when he thought of Wang Mingyuan, who had transformed into a dimensional creature, Zhou Wen's expression turned odd.
Don't tell me Teacher used this Spirit Casting technique to fuse with the living being in the white cocoon? Zhou Wen thought to himself, But why does Zhong Ziya have this? Where did he get it from? Did Teacher give it to him?
Zhou Wen couldn't figure it out. After some hesitation, he placed the leather scroll back into the bamboo tube and stored it in the Chaos Bead's chaos space.
This item was definitely taboo among humans. Zhou Wen didn't want others to see it, nor did he plan on learning it.
If Zhong Ziya didn't retrieve it in the future, he planned on sealing it in the Chaos Bead forever, preventing it from ever seeing the light of day again.
After doing all of this, Zhou Wen walked out of Old Dragon Cave.
The bustle outside Dragon Gate Grotto had long been restored. There were even more people. Many people had set up stalls outside to sell their harvests. The most popular item was the various stat crystals. Although everyone wanted Companion Eggs, they were too expensive, so the number of transactions was relatively low.
"Zhou Wen, what are you doing here?" someone called out to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen turned around and saw that the person who had called out to him was Huang Ji. This fellow was actually setting up a stall here again.
"Senior, why aren't you working on the game? Why are you setting up a stall here?" Zhou Wen was somewhat depressed. Instead of researching the game, he had come here to set up a stall. Wouldn't his investment be for nothing?
Huang Ji mysteriously pulled Zhou Wen to the side and whispered, "I'm working on the game. Some of the unimportant parts have already been subcontracted. In another two months, there should be results. There's no rush. However, something big is about to happen here today. Perhaps we can reap some benefits. Wait and see. "
"What could possibly happen here?" Zhou Wen looked around. Although there were many dimensional zones in Dragon Gate Grotto, they were all inside the grotto. What could happen outside?
"Junior, there's something you don't know. The dimensional zones in Dragon Gate Grotto are all different, but in fact, Dragon Gate Grotto is an entire dimensional zone. Including where we are now, it's a dimensional zone," Huang Ji said as he pointed at the stone steps beneath his feet.
"Of course I know that." Zhou Wen didn't know what Huang Ji was getting at.
"Then aren't you curious why there are dimensional creatures in those grottos and all sorts of mystical things, but why there aren't any outside?" Huang Ji asked.
"Is there a need for a reason?" Zhou Wen asked.
Huang Ji covered his forehead and curled his lips. "There's definitely a reason for everything. If there isn't a reason, it just means that we haven't figured it out. There are actually mystical things happening outside Dragon Gate Grotto, but they usually don't appear. Tonight is the day when the mystical things appear. Otherwise, why do you think so many people are here? There will be more coming later. Many people who know of this news will probably come here tonight. "
"What kind of mystical thing is it?" Zhou Wen understood what he was getting at. He believed that there had to be some benefits. Otherwise, why would people come here when there were so many mystical things happening in other dimensional zones?
"The mystical thing happening in Dragon Gate Grotto is called Buddha Eye-Opening …" Huang Ji said excitedly.
