The small Fire Phoenix flew down from the wall, bringing with it a terrifying flame, instantly turning the entire stone house into a sea of fire.
Even though he was wearing armor, he still felt that the scarlet flames were unbearably hot.
Zhou Wen summoned Tyrant Behemoth and opened its mouth to swallow the flames and the fire phoenix.
Although it was only a short instant, it left An Sheng and Zhou Wen breaking out into a cold sweat. White smoke was emitting from their armor. If it had been any longer, the armor would have been burned red and the flesh inside would have been cooked.
Once the fire phoenix died, the six doors automatically opened and returned to their previous state.
Zhou Wen felt that something was amiss and asked An Sheng, "Ah Sheng, have you encountered such a situation before?"
"Never. Young Master Wen, do you think the fire phoenix from before has something to do with this hourglass? " As An Sheng spoke, he looked at his backpack that had been burned by the flames. The items in his backpack had already scattered. Many things had been burned, but the crystal hourglass remained intact. It lay horizontally on the ground, and the sand was still flowing.
"I also think there might be a connection. Nothing happened when you came, and nothing happened when we left. However, after the hourglass turned upside down, an accident happened. Apart from that, I really can't think of any other reason," Zhou Wen said.
"Let's use our Companion Beasts to scout the way and see if the other stone houses have the same problem." As An Sheng spoke, he summoned a lion and let it enter the next room An Sheng planned on entering.
Just as the lion entered, the stone house suddenly closed. Soon, An Sheng's expression changed.
Zhou Wen used Truth Listener's power to know what was happening next door, but he didn't hear anything. There seemed to be a force in the stone house's walls that blocked Truth Listener.
Soon, the door opened, but the lion Companion Beast that had entered vanished. From the looks of it, it had been killed.
"These stone houses have indeed become a little strange. After my Companion Beast entered, it quickly severed its connection with me. I can't sense what happened inside," An Sheng said with a heavy expression.
Zhou Wen looked in from the door, but he didn't discover any murals in the stone house. It was no different from an ordinary stone house.
"If the changes in the maze are related to this crystal hourglass, do you think the maze will return to normal when we wait for the sand in the crystal hourglass to reverse again?" Zhou Wen said as he looked at the hourglass in his hand.
"That's also very possible." An Sheng stared at the sand in the hourglass and said, "From the speed at which the sand is flowing, it should reverse once an hour. Let's wait here for an hour."
"Alright." Zhou Wen also felt that it was better to wait.
God knew what other demonic things there were in the maze. Although he had Mythical pets, his body was still at the Epic stage. If any accidents happened in such a small stone house, he might not be able to dodge them. It was useless no matter how strong his Companion Beasts were.
The two of them waited in the stone house. Time ticked by. When the sand in the hourglass had completely flowed out, they heard a "ding" sound. It was exactly the same sound as before.
In the next second, the sand in the hourglass began to flow in reverse.
"I'll give it another try." An Sheng summoned another Companion Beast and let it enter the room the lion had entered.
Indeed, this time, the stone house's passageway didn't close. The Companion Beasts inside didn't have any intention of doing anything.
"It's indeed the case." An Sheng carefully entered the room without any mishaps.
Therefore, Zhou Wen and An Sheng used their Companion Beasts as pathfinders before continuing to advance to the next treasure chest in the maze. They passed by many stone houses without any problems.
When the hourglass reversed, the two of them stopped and didn't continue forward. They waited in place for an hour, waiting for the hourglass to reverse again before continuing.
It was unknown what kind of relationship the hourglass had with the maze. It could actually control the maze. When the sand flowed in reverse, the situation in the maze was completely different.
When he was forced to rest, Zhou Wen studied the hourglass, hoping to see if he could control the flow of the sand in the hourglass.
If he could control it, wouldn't he be able to control the maze?
However, after studying it for a while, Zhou Wen failed to discover how to control the hourglass. The main reason was that he didn't dare act recklessly, afraid that he would damage the hourglass. It would be even more troublesome then.
"Let's think of a way to study it after we leave." Zhou Wen temporarily gave up on the idea of controlling it.
"Young Master Wen, I seem to have discovered something," An Sheng said.
"What did you discover? Is it the secret of the maze? "Zhou Wen hurriedly asked.
"No." An Sheng shook his head and said, "After so many experiences with you, I realized that as long as you enter a dimensional zone, it's easy for something unexpected to happen …"
"Coincidence … It must be a coincidence …" Zhou Wen said firmly. Although he also felt that something would happen every time he entered a dimensional zone, he definitely wouldn't admit that he was a jinx.
Even if there's a problem, it's definitely the Tiger Soul General, Bamboo Blade, and Tai Sui. It's definitely not my problem, Zhou Wen thought.
An Sheng smiled and said, "Actually, this isn't bad. At least it won't be that boring. Every time I enter a dimensional zone with you, it's always so thrilling and exciting."
"It really has nothing to do with me," Zhou Wen said with a sullen expression.
The two of them walked for more than thirty hours before finally arriving at the room with the second treasure chest.
"Young Master Wen, open it and take a look," An Sheng said with a heavy expression.
"Do I really have to open it?" Zhou Wen said guiltily.
In the first treasure chest, a monster like the crystal hourglass had appeared. Who knew what would appear in this treasure chest?
It would be fine if a Companion Egg or dimensional crystal dropped, but if a bomb were to pop out and blast them to death, it would be terrible.
Although it was only a metaphor, Zhou Wen didn't rule out the possibility of a bomb inside.
"Open it. Even if there's a Buddha Annihilation inside, we can just fight it again. There's nothing to be afraid of," An Sheng said with a smile.
Zhou Wen swallowed his saliva and reached out to lift the lid of the treasure chest. His heart was beating violently like a drum.
An Sheng and Zhou Wen looked into the treasure chest and were taken aback.
There was another chest inside. It was made of the same material and style as the treasure chest, but it was a little smaller.
Zhou Wen frowned slightly and opened the lid of the treasure chest inside. He saw an even smaller treasure chest inside. After opening seven to eight treasure chests, he saw even smaller treasure chests.
