With the baby tiger around, the dimensional crystals that dropped had pretty good stats. Many of them exceeded 30.
Among them was an Essence Energy Skill Crystal left behind by a stone warrior.
With the Fire Furnace Queen, he grinded his way forward and was blocked by a palace. The stone door of the palace was tightly shut, and on the stone door, Zhou Wen saw the carving on it again.
There was a woman's side profile on a shield, but what was different was that the woman's face on the shield was straight.
One could tell that it was an extremely beautiful girl. Her eyes were as alluring as the sea. Although it was only a carving, it made one involuntarily take a second look.
Just as Zhou Wen took a glance, he felt his ear heat up. The Truth Listener earring emitted an intense burning sensation. Then, he felt terrifying Primordial Energy surge into his body, filling his body with Primordial Energy that was constantly seeping out.
Such terrifying Essence Energy. If not for the Truth Listener earring, the blood-colored avatar would probably be dead by now, right? Zhou Wen was alarmed.
Zhou Wen realized that as long as the blood-colored avatar didn't look at the beauty's eyes on the stone door, Truth Listener wouldn't react. In other words, the beauty's eyes were the source of the problem.
Zhou Wen closed his eyes and relied on Truth Listener's hearing. The beauty's eyes on the stone door were completely useless.
When he arrived in front of the door, Zhou Wen controlled the blood-colored avatar to push open the stone door with all his might, but the stone door didn't budge at all. It was as though it was welded shut.
Zhou Wen slashed a few times with the Overlord Sword, but the stone door seemed to be protected by divine power. The Overlord Sword's Ever-Victorious characteristic failed to leave a mark on the door, much less split it open.
Since there's a door, I can definitely enter. But how do I enter? Zhou Wen fumbled around the door, hoping to find the mechanism to open it.
When Zhou Wen's hands touched the eyes of the beauty's sculpture, he heard a click as though some mechanism had been activated. The door automatically opened and retreated to the left and right.
The door opened, revealing the palace inside. It was pitch-black without any light. Zhou Wen scanned the palace with Truth Listener's ability and saw many stone pillars and some braziers.
However, as the palace was too big, Truth Listener's power couldn't reach its depths. However, there were no dimensional creatures or stone statues within its range.
Zhou Wen controlled the blood-colored avatar to step into the palace. After the blood-colored avatar stepped into the palace, the palace's door automatically closed. The two rows of braziers in the palace automatically lit up, extending all the way to the deepest depths of the palace.
Zhou Wen looked in and saw a throne. Sitting on the throne was a beautiful girl. Her face was identical to the beauty on the shield. She looked lively as though she had walked out of a painting.
However, she was even more charming than the portrait, especially her eyes. Although they were cartoonish, they were full of temptation, making it impossible for people to move their eyes away from her eyes.
With just a glance, the blood-colored avatar's body immediately underwent a special change. Its blood-colored body turned into stone, turning into a stone statue. Then, the game screen went black.
"Dead! Why is the Truth Listener earring useless? Zhou Wen found it odd.
Previously, the Truth Listener earring was clearly effective, but why was it completely useless after seeing the girl in the palace?
Even if the girl was at the Mythical stage and the Truth Listener earring wasn't strong enough to withstand such a powerful force, it wasn't to the point of not reacting at all. This left Zhou Wen puzzled.
Since the Truth Listener earring doesn't react, there's only one possibility. The girl's eyes in the palace aren't the same power as the beauty's eyes on the shield. After some thought, Zhou Wen could only come up with one possibility.
This made Zhou Wen even more interested in the girl. He dripped his blood to revive and entered the Curse Demon Palace again. He stormed all the way to the girl's palaces.
After entering, Zhou Wen made the blood-colored avatar keep its eyes closed. He didn't look at the girl at all to prevent himself from being petrified by her gaze.
Indeed, this method was feasible. As long as he didn't look at the girl's eyes, he wouldn't be petrified.
"Could this girl be that creature from the legends?" Zhou Wen had specially read the myths of the Peninsula of Gods in the past. When he saw that the girl's gaze had the ability to petrify, he thought of a famous demon in myths — Medusa.
In ancient myths, Medusa was a natural demon. Her portrait would be engraved on a shield to ward off evil.
There was also a myth that Medusa was a beautiful girl. She tried to compete with the Goddess of Wisdom with her beauty, but she was beheaded by the Goddess of Wisdom and embedded on the shield.
Modern people generally believed that Medusa had a human head and a snake body. Her hair resembled a venomous snake, but in ancient myths, only Medusa's hair was a venomous snake. She was no different from a human.
Zhou Wen didn't know which myth matched a dimensional zone, but if this girl was really Medusa, the possibility of the latter was higher.
The girl sat on the throne and watched the blood-colored avatar approach. She didn't move as she sat there quietly.
Zhou Wen carefully approached the girl and had already walked to the throne, but he still didn't see the girl move.
Don't tell me she's a fake? Zhou Wen muttered inwardly. However, the girl in front of him had bright eyes and white teeth. She was indescribably beautiful, especially her beautiful long hair. It had an indescribable charm to it. She didn't look like a fake no matter how he looked at it.
The blood-colored avatar had already walked in front of the girl, but she was still sitting there motionless. She only looked at him with her eyes without any intention of speaking.
Don't tell me she's really a fake? Zhou Wen thought as he extended his finger and pinched the girl's face.
It was fleshy and warm. It was clearly not a fake.
When Zhou Wen touched the girl, her expression immediately changed. Almost instantly, the girl's beautiful face became as terrifying as a ferocious ghost. Her beautiful hair also turned into venomous snakes. In an instant, she turned from a beautiful girl to a terrifying demoness.
Behind her, a pair of swan wings appeared. She opened her mouth full of fangs and let out a strange scream at Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen couldn't help but open his eyes to glance at her. The Truth Listener earring immediately emitted a scorching energy. It was so hot that it almost scalded Zhou Wen's ears. At the same time, large amounts of Primordial Energy surged into his body.
Strange, why is Truth Listener useful again? Zhou Wen was puzzled, but he didn't have the time to think about it carefully. The demoness's head of venomous snakes had already devoured him.
