Two days later, Zhou Wen unsummoned Tyrant Behemoth. Zhang Xiao didn't come to him. It was a tacit understanding.
When Tyrant Behemoth vanished, Zhang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. If he had really nurtured it for a month, he would have really gone bankrupt.
Zhou Wen had been waiting for Liu Yun, but before he could arrive, Zhang Chunqiu rushed over to look for him.
"Zhou Wen, there's a problem with the Fiend Tomb. Can I borrow your Tyrant Behemoth again?" Zhang Chunqiu's expression was solemn. It looked like the matter was really serious.
"What happened?" It was precisely because it was serious that Zhou Wen needed to clarify. He couldn't risk Tyrant Behemoth.
"The Fiend Stones that grew out of the Fiend Tomb have already been eaten by Tyrant Behemoth. Nothing happened in the past few days, but just now, the Fiend Stones began to grow again. Furthermore, their growth speed is even faster than before. I want to borrow your Tyrant Behemoth to try eating them again, "Zhang Chunqiu said.
"Is it convenient for me to go with you?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Of course. Follow me." Zhang Chunqiu didn't say anything else as he turned around and led the way.
After leaving the town, Zhang Chunqiu summoned an immortal crane and set off with Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen originally imagined that the vicinity of Mount Dragon Tiger was like a fairyland, but after arriving at the Fiend Tomb, he realized that it wasn't all like that.
There was a place in the mountains where all flowers withered and nothing grew. In broad daylight, the sun could clearly shine down, but it made one feel extremely gloomy.
In that inconspicuous place, Zhou Wen saw a small grave. It wasn't very big. If Zhang Chunqiu hadn't said that it was a Fiend Tomb, Zhou Wen wouldn't have imagined that this small grave without a tombstone would have such a huge background.
The only strange thing about this grave was its material. Ordinary graves were made of soil. High-grade ones were made of stone or bricks. Those of a higher grade were made of jade or even metal.
Although the tombstone was made of stone, the stone was not man-made. It was as if the tombstone was originally made of stone.
It was a kind of greyish-white stone that seemed to emit Yin Qi. Near the grave, a large number of rocks also appeared to be of the same texture, which seemed to be out of place with the mountain wall beside it. It was as if the valley was covered with a layer of frost.
In each of the eight directions of the grave, there was a man-made stone platform. There were people from the Zhang family guarding each stone platform, monitoring the Fiend Tomb from different angles.
Zhang Chunqiu landed on one of the stone platforms with Zhou Wen and pointed at the grayish-white Fiend Stone beside him. "Please get Tyrant Behemoth to eat the grayish-white Fiend Stone over there."
"Alright." Zhou Wen summoned Tyrant Behemoth and got it to eat the grayish-white Fiend Stones.
According to Zhang Chunqiu, Tyrant Behemoth stopped after eating a portion of the Fiend Stones.
"Alright, now we have to wait for the results. If you have the time, you can stay and take a look. If you don't have the time, I can get someone to send you out first," Zhang Chunqiu said.
"If it's convenient, I want to stay and take a look." Zhou Wen also wanted to see what was so special about the Fiend Tomb that the Zhang family had guarded for so many years.
"You can stay, but remember not to leave this platform, especially at night," Zhang Chunqiu exhorted Zhou Wen repeatedly.
Zhou Wen naturally wouldn't joke around with his life, so he agreed.
The Fiend Stones didn't seem to be able to grow any time soon. It had been a few days since Tyrant Behemoth ate a Fiend Stone before it grew again. It shouldn't have grown again so quickly.
Zhou Wen didn't stare at the spot. Instead, he observed the Fiend Tomb to see if he could find the tiny palm symbol. After carefully searching the vicinity of the Fiend Tomb, Zhou Wen's eyes suddenly lit up.
Behind the small grave, Zhou Wen saw a tiny palm symbol with Truth Listener. It was engraved on the stone of the grave. As the stones weren't very flat, they looked like natural patterns. However, Zhou Wen had seen too many tiny palm symbols, so he definitely couldn't be mistaken.
However, Zhou Wen was stumped again. Although he had the tiny palm symbol, Zhang Chunqiu had repeatedly exhorted him not to leave the platform. How could he walk to the Fiend Tomb to take pictures?
Furthermore, the Zhang family had already made an exception for him to come here. It was impossible for him to take pictures with his phone.
How can I take a picture? Zhou Wen thought for a while but couldn't think of a good solution.
Just as he was worrying, he suddenly heard someone shout, "It's growing … It's growing again …"
Zhou Wen was alarmed as he hurriedly looked at the Fiend Stones that had been gnawed out by Tyrant Behemoth. He saw another Fiend Stone appear on the ground that had been gnawed clean.
The Fiend Stones were like bamboo shoots after the rain as they rapidly grew.
This was the first time Zhou Wen had seen a stone grow.
"This time, the regrowth time is even shorter. In less than half an hour, it actually grew again," a member of the Zhang family said worriedly.
"Has such a situation happened before?" Zhou Wen asked.
The Zhang family had guarded the Fiend Tomb for so many years, so they should have thought of a way to deal with the Fiend Stones in the past.
To his surprise, Zhang Chunqiu shook his head and said, "In the past, the growth speed of the Fiend Stones was very slow. After the dimensional storms, the growth speed gradually increased. Especially in the past few months, the growth speed has been much faster than before. In the past few years, the Fiend Stones only spread less than ten meters around the Fiend Tomb. Look at it now. In just a few months, it's probably almost a hundred meters. "
"In other words, you haven't dealt with the Fiend Stones in the past?" Zhou Wen found it unbelievable.
"Of course. However, we only took a small portion of the Fiend Stones and brought them back for research. We didn't dig out the Fiend Stones on such a large scale. There has never been such a situation in the past. Although the places where the Fiend Stones have been dug out will still grow, the speed is very slow. It has never been so fast, "Zhang Chunqiu said.
"What's that?" Suddenly, someone pointed at the spot where the Fiend Stones grew and exclaimed.
Zhou Wen and Zhang Chunqiu looked over and saw a human-faced pattern appear at the spot where the Fiend Stone grew. The pattern grew on the Fiend Stone, as though a person was embedded in it. It looked very strange.
"Has it appeared in the past?" Zhou Wen asked Zhang Chunqiu.
This time, Zhang Chunqiu only shook his head as he stared at the face on the Fiend Stone. At the same time, he ordered, "Everyone, enter a state of emergency."
Everyone tensed up. The Zhang family knew how terrifying the Fiend Tomb was. Zhou Wen, who was the only one who didn't know much about the Fiend Tomb, had an ominous feeling.
