After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wen left Luoyang and rode a Chi towards Zhuolu.
He had been to Zhuolu once before, so he naturally remembered the way. However, compared to the last time he went, the chances of seeing people outside the city were even lower.
Many national roads were already abandoned, and dense plants could be seen everywhere by the roadside.
Unless there was a large convoy or a pet convoy passing by, it was very difficult to see lone travelers.
Zhou Wen also encountered some break-out creatures on the way. Although they weren't very strong and were only at the Legendary stage, this made Zhou Wen even more uneasy.
As the break-out creatures became weaker, it was very likely that the sealing effects of the dimensional zones would weaken. Wang Mingyuan had said that the dimensional zones would be completely unsealed in ten years at most. From the looks of it, it wasn't a lie.
The Chi's speed was rather fast. Although it wasn't as comfortable as riding a car, it could traverse complicated terrain. It wasn't as easily restricted as a car.
Now, many roads had been destroyed by dimensional creatures. It was getting harder and harder for cars to travel outside the city.
There were also many vines and other plants that covered the roads. Apart from some roads that often had convoys passing by, it was difficult to ensure that the roads were smooth.
Zhou Wen wasn't afraid of exhaustion as he traveled day and night. On the third day, he set up a tent and planned on sleeping for a while.
Although he was energetic and had endless Essence Energy, a human's body would still feel tired if it didn't sleep for an extended period of time.
As the convoy wouldn't pass by where Zhou Wen was going, there weren't many people on the road. Furthermore, this was a mountain path in a mountainous area, so the chances of encountering people were even lower.
Zhou Wen set up a tent on a platform by the side of the road. It just so happened that the area was empty. There was a cliff beside him, so there weren't any obstacles. If any creatures appeared, he could discover them in advance.
He summoned Six-Winged, Banana Fairy, Doctor Darkness, and the other Companion Beasts and got them to guard him. Only then could Zhou Wen sleep in peace.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Wen was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by a pair of tiny hands.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Banana Fairy patting his face with her tiny hands. Seeing Zhou Wen wake up, Banana Fairy pulled his hand and pointed outside the tent.
"What happened?" Zhou Wen asked Banana Fairy.
Banana Fairy babbled, but he couldn't understand what she was saying. It left Zhou Wen somewhat depressed. After all, she was a Mythical pet. It had been so long, but she couldn't even learn simple human language.
Zhou Wen had no choice but to get up and leave the tent. Six-Winged was sleeping outside the tent, looking even more soundly asleep than Zhou Wen.
Doctor Darkness stood at the entrance of the tent, looking completely expressionless as though he was in a daze.
These two fellows aren't as reliable as Banana Fairy, Zhou Wen thought to himself.
Banana Fairy sat on the banana leaf and flew in the air. She pointed down the cliff and babbled as though she wanted to tell Zhou Wen something.
Zhou Wen walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. Under the moonlight, he saw something glowing in the forest below.
The light flashed in a rhythmic manner. It didn't look like a firefly. Firstly, fireflies weren't that big and bright. Secondly, Zhou Wen had never heard of fireflies flashing red.
Looking from above, it looked like a red warning light was flashing below.
"What's down there? Is it a dimensional creature? " Although Zhou Wen's eyesight was good, he couldn't see what the red light was from so far away.
Banana Fairy pulled Zhou Wen and flew down, as though she wanted Zhou Wen to follow her down to take a look.
Zhou Wen hurriedly held back Banana Fairy. The world was too terrifying. Many unknown things could cause people to die without knowing why. It wasn't that Zhou Wen wasn't curious, but he couldn't risk his life with his curiosity.
After holding Banana Fairy back, Zhou Wen summoned more than ten Poison Bats and got them to fly down to take a look.
More than ten Poison Bats quickly flew to the forest at the bottom of the cliff and tore apart the trees and vines, making the red light even clearer.
Zhou Wen switched to the Eight Perfections Wisdom and strengthened his vision. He could vaguely see a red object glowing in the soil of the forest. As it was buried in the soil, only a small portion of it was exposed. Zhou Wen couldn't tell what it was.
He ordered the Poison Bats to dig the soil near the object. More than ten Poison Bats sprawled on the ground and stabbed their claws into the soil covered in fallen leaves, digging up the soil.
Seeing that the object didn't react, Zhou Wen heaved a sigh of relief. However, he didn't dare be careless. He kept staring at the object and the Poison Bats. Once the Poison Bats had any abnormal reactions, he would be able to deal with them immediately.
Thankfully, what Zhou Wen expected didn't happen. The dozen or so Poison Bats dug out a huge hole after digging for a while. The object was also dug out.
However, from above, he could only see a red ball with a diameter of more than four meters. It was flashing, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Before confirming what it was, Zhou Wen didn't dare let the Poison Bats touch it. After some thought, he put away the tent and other things before calling Six-Winged to fly down the cliff.
From the side, it really was a big ball. It looked like a jade stone and was half buried in the soil. The light inside was constantly changing, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. That was why it looked like it was flashing from a distance, but in fact, it was always glowing.
Dimensional creature? It doesn't look like it. Companion Egg doesn't look like it either. What is this thing? Zhou Wen sized it up for a long time, but he couldn't tell what it was.
By the side, Banana Fairy couldn't help but fly above the red ball. Then, she jumped down from the banana leaf and landed on the red ball.
She jumped on top of the red ball a few times, and then with a pop, the red ball actually cracked.
Zhou Wen jumped in fright, but it was too late to stop it. Thankfully, nothing dangerous happened after the red ball cracked. The red ball turned into a flower after it cracked.
The jade-like outer shell was actually its petals. After opening layer by layer, it revealed the pink stamens inside. The glowing thing was the stamens.
The moment the flower bloomed, Zhou Wen immediately caught a whiff of a rich floral fragrance. With the augmentation of the Eight Perfections Wisdom, he found the floral fragrance especially refreshing, relaxing his mind significantly.
Banana Fairy had already landed in the stamens. She grabbed a pollen with her tiny hand and placed it in her mouth. She quickly swallowed it as though she was eating cotton candy.
There was quite a lot of pollen in the flower. Banana Fairy ate one and grabbed another with both hands. She stuffed them into her mouth, causing her cheeks to bulge.
