At the instant he held the stone saber, Zhou Wen immediately felt an ancient aura emit from it. It left him slightly shocked as he involuntarily tightened his grip on the saber's hilt.
With a gentle tug, he pulled out the stone saber slightly. Zhou Wen immediately felt the entire Guide Ancient City tremble. Flames spewed out from the stone furnace as though countless living beings were roaring inside.
Zhou Wen's expression changed slightly as he immediately pressed the stone saber back. Only then did the terrifying feeling vanish.
This stone saber … Could it be like the jade box on Chess Mountain … An item that seals dimensional zones? Zhou Wen released the stone saber and didn't dare touch it again.
Although he didn't know what the consequences of pulling out the stone saber would be, Zhou Wen chose not to touch it.
After getting off the Fire God Platform, Zhou Wen realized that something was amiss. Guide Ancient City had the most Skeleton Soldiers, with Skeleton Generals in the minority.
But now, Zhou Wen saw more than ten Skeleton Generals nearby. He hadn't seen them when he arrived. Clearly, they had just appeared.
Pulling out the stone saber really does have some effects. Zhou Wen continued walking out and realized that there were indeed many Skeleton Generals.
It was already impressive to encounter one or two Skeleton Generals in the ancient city, but now, Zhou Wen had seen more than fifty along the way. He had no idea how many he hadn't seen.
The appearance of so many Skeleton Generals made the garrison very happy. Usually, there were only a few Skeleton Soldiers to kill. Now that there were suddenly so many Skeleton Generals, the drop rate had also increased significantly. Naturally, they were very excited.
Zhou Wen was somewhat worried. Based on the present situation, the situation might be worse than he imagined if the dimensional zone's seal was really removed.
After returning to his room and staying the night, Zhou Wen set off for the bureau's Primordial Crystal mine early the next morning.
The dimensional zone where the Primordial Crystal mine was located was named Don't Cry Valley. Legend had it that it was originally an extremely beautiful valley. A young couple lived in the valley. The woman grew vegetables and flowers in the valley while the man went hunting in the mountains. They lived a life of immortal companionship.
However, there was one time when the man went hunting in the mountains and never returned. The woman waited bitterly for the man to return, but he didn't.
After that, the villagers in the vicinity heard the sound of crying coming from the valley at night, almost never stopping.
Some villagers mustered up their courage and entered the valley during the day. They found that the woman had been dead for a long time. Her body had dried up, and there was a knife in her abdomen. It looked like she had committed suicide.
The villagers buried the woman's body and changed the name of the valley to Don't Cry Valley, hoping that the woman could rest in peace and stop crying. However, the sound of the woman's sobs could still be heard every night.
Of course, these were only legends. There were no cries in Don't Cry Valley, but ever since the dimensional storms, there had been cries in Don't Cry Valley, but it wasn't from that woman.
Everyone who entered the Don't Cry Valley would cry uncontrollably. They would not be able to control their tears. If they went too deep, they would die in tears.
The bureau had clearly grasped the secret of Don't Cry Valley, so they could come and go freely in Don't Cry Valley without being affected by the mysterious power.
However, the other factions had sent many people to probe the secret of Don't Cry Valley and snatch the Primordial Crystal mine inside, but they returned empty-handed. Many people had even died.
This included the An family. The An family only learned of the tears in Don't Cry Valley after the two survivors returned.
Zhou Wen suspected that the power that made people cry was similar to a curse, and Truth Listener had a good restraining effect on curses. Therefore, Zhou Wen planned on coming to Don't Cry Valley to give it a try.
If he could really restrain the power of Don't Cry Valley, he would have a high chance of entering the Primordial Crystal mine.
Of course, Zhou Wen didn't take the risk of entering. Firstly, it was because Tyrant Behemoth hadn't completed its evolution. Secondly, he still wanted to find the tiny palm symbol outside. If he could find it, he could give it a try in-game. That way, he would be more confident.
In Luoyang's An family, An Tianzuo frowned at An Sheng and said, "What do you mean by losing contact with that punk?"
"When he went to Guide Ancient City, he still contacted me. However, there was no news of him after that. It's been four days now, but there's no news of him. He hasn't returned to Luoyang, nor is he in Guide City. There's no news of him at Chess Mountain either," An Sheng said.
"Then where is he?" An Tianzuo asked.
An Sheng pondered for a moment before saying, "Overseer, I think he might have gone to the bureau."
"Nonsense. What can he do in the bureau? Don't tell me he really thinks he has the ability to become enemies with the bureau just because he killed Ják? "An Tianzuo slammed the teacup on the table.
An Sheng said with a bitter smile, "Young Master Wen looks gentle and doesn't seem to care about anything, but deep down, he's as stubborn as you, Overseer. The bureau has repeatedly bullied him, so Young Master Wen definitely won't let it go. He previously asked me for the bureau's information, so he must have gone to find trouble with the bureau."
"Nonsense. He's arrogant and does whatever he wants just because he has some achievements. He doesn't know his place. Does he think he's invincible just because he killed Ják?" An Tianzuo said angrily.
"Overseer, I don't think Young Master Wen is a rash person. I believe he definitely has his own ideas. Perhaps he can really do something," An Sheng said.
"What can he do? Not to mention Shen Yuchi, even I have to be wary of him. However, none of the four Censors under him are weaker than Ják. They are extremely difficult to deal with. It's fine if he only wants to vent his anger and kill a few lackeys, but if he really dares to head to the bureau's headquarters, he will definitely die. " An Tianzuo paused for a moment before saying, "If he really wants to kill a few lackeys to vent his anger, then he's a stupid pig. Doing such a thing won't help him at all. It will only make the bureau target him even more."
Young Master Wen isn't a bloodthirsty person, so he naturally won't kill people to vent his anger. An Sheng mumbled inwardly, It seems you are the one who likes to kill, right?
"Hmph, who knows what kind of nonsense he will do? Go and bring him back for me," An Tianzuo said.
"Overseer, didn't you say that you wouldn't care about him?" An Sheng asked.
"Of course I don't care about him. It's good that he's dead. I'm just afraid that if he's captured by the bureau, wouldn't that cause a huge ruckus?" An Tianzuo glared at An Sheng and said, "Go immediately. No matter what method you use, you have to bring him back."
"Yes, I'll go to the capital now," An Sheng replied.
