"No good, something really happened," Lu Yunxian said as he rushed into the passageway without any hesitation.
"Young Master Wen said that no matter what happens, we can't go over …" Xu Wen pulled Lu Yunxian back.
"Look at the situation now. If Young Master Wen dies inside, how are we going to explain it to Adjutant An and the Overseer? Besides, Young Master Wen saved our lives. "Lu Yunxian shook off Xu Wen and rushed in.
Xu Wen gritted her teeth and rushed in. She couldn't care less.
As the two of them rushed over, they heard the terrifying screams and the rumbling sounds of collisions. They became even more worried. From the cries, the dragon was probably enraged.
The terrifying cries and collisions echoed in the passageway. Even Professor Lei and company, who were setting up various equipment on the other side, heard it.
"No good, it's Torch Dragon's voice. It has been alarmed. Don't tell me Zhou Wen opened the door to the Torch Dragon temple?" Professor Lei's expression changed as he immediately ran over.
When Qu Qingyun heard that, he gloated and said, "That Zhou Wen is so arrogant. He must have thought highly of himself because he has some ability and opened the door to the Torch Dragon temple."
As researchers, they knew very well that Torch Dragon was a true Mythical creature. It wasn't something Aoyin could compare with. It was almost certain death upon sight. They had already sacrificed many Epic Companion Beasts.
When Professor Lei and company ran back to the fork where the Aoyin stone statue was, Torch Dragon's screams suddenly stopped.
Lu Yunxian and Xu Wen had already run in front of the Torch Dragon temple and saw the gigantic Torch Dragon inside. This was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes.
Although they knew that there was a Torch Dragon inside, they weren't the ones who had seen it, but the Companion Beasts they had placed inside.
Now that they saw Torch Dragon's true body, its massive body and ferocious aura gave them immense pressure.
In front of Torch Dragon, they felt as tiny as ants.
However, in front of the Torch Dragon, there was a man dressed in silver mirror-like armor. He had six holy white flaming dragon wings on his back and held a golden trident in his hand. He was floating in front of the Torch Dragon.
The Zhulong's body was covered in bloody scars, and the most terrifying part was below its head, where blood was gushing out like a fountain.
Rumble!
In front of the god-like figure, Zhulong fell to the ground with a loud bang, no longer breathing. Blood flowed everywhere in the temple.
However, the figure floating above the Torch Dragon looked untainted by a speck of dust. His entire body exuded a holy radiance.
After a long pause, Lu Yunxian gulped and asked in disbelief, "Young … Master Wen … Is that you?"
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come? " After confirming that Torch Dragon was dead, Zhou Wen unsummoned his Companion Beasts and revealed his body.
"Sorry, it's my fault." Xu Wen hurriedly apologized.
"It's nothing. Since you're here, help me look around and see if there's anything left behind by the former principal and the others." Zhou Wen searched the Torch Dragon temple in-game, but he didn't find any other exit. If the former principal and company had really come here, unless they were eaten clean by Torch Dragon, they would likely leave something behind.
For example, paper, backpacks, or instruments. No matter how good Torch Dragon's appetite was, it was unlikely that it would eat such things.
As for Lu Yunxian and Xu Wen, Zhou Wen didn't let them come mainly because he was afraid that they would come when Torch Dragon used Bright Torch Vision World. When that happened, it would definitely be difficult for them to escape death. Now that Torch Dragon was dead, it didn't matter if they came.
Lu Yunxian and Xu Wen hurriedly searched the Torch Dragon temple with Zhou Wen.
All his attention had been on Torch Dragon, so he couldn't divert his attention to observe the temple. Now that Zhou Wen carefully sized up the temple, he realized that the layout and decorations were the same as in-game.
However, the game was cartoonish, and this place looked more realistic. There were metal pillars and metal carvings everywhere, as well as some metal statues.
The content of the carvings were monsters, such as the Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang that Zhou Wen had encountered outside. Their images were also carved on the metal walls.
There were many other monsters that Zhou Wen couldn't name.
These weren't the main points of Zhou Wen's observation. He wanted to find something, even if it was a corpse, a torn piece of cloth, or even a piece of paper.
However, there was nothing. Apart from the original metal items in the temple, there was nothing else.
Zhou Wen had mixed feelings. He couldn't see the relics of the former principal and company. It was possible that they had been devoured by Torch Dragon, but it was also possible that they hadn't come here. Therefore, there was still some hope, but this hope was even more torturous.
Lu Yunxian looked around the temple before saying to Zhou Wen, "Young Master Wen, I can't see any problems with my naked eye. I think I need to use some equipment and the power of Companion Beasts to investigate. Perhaps I can discover something." Clearly, he hadn't discovered anything.
"Alright, go prepare." Zhou Wen nodded.
"Xu Wen, help Young Master Wen look around first. See if Torch Dragon has any Companion Eggs or crystals. If there are, get Young Master Wen to put them away. There will be too many people later. It will inevitably be troublesome," Lu Yunxian exhorted Xu Wen before leaving.
Xu Wen agreed and went to check on Torch Dragon's corpse.
Zhou Wen knew that the possibility of Torch Dragon dropping a Companion Egg was very low, so he didn't deliberately search for it. All he did was carefully observe the temple again and compare it with his memories in-game.
Suddenly, Zhou Wen discovered something. It was identical to the metallic style of the temple. It seemed to be something from the temple, but Zhou Wen had never seen it in-game.
Zhou Wen walked to the side of the temple. There was a metal object placed there. It looked squarish, like a metal block. It wasn't big, about the size of a brick. Its color was the same as the metallic color of the palace — bluish-black.
This metal block was placed on the head of a monster statue. The metal statue looked like a lion or a tiger, but it looked like the legendary Qilin.
Zhou Wen had seen this statue in-game, but he had never seen the metal block on its head.
He reached out to push the metal block and realized that it wasn't one with the statue. It was very easy to push it. Zhou Wen took it down and felt that it was rather heavy in his hand. It was probably much heavier than gold of the same size.
The surface of the metal block was very smooth. There was nothing on it. Zhou Wen flipped it over to look at the side, but there was nothing. However, when he flipped it to the bottom, he realized that it was somewhat different. On the metal surface, there were a few marks that divided the metal surface into nine squares.
Zhou Wen seemed to have seen such a nine-palace grid somewhere before. On careful thought, he immediately recalled that in Qin Xiyuan's shop, the chains on the locked silver-haired Companion Beast were connected to a metal block. The metal block had a similar nine-palace grid.
