After waiting for twenty-four hours, Zhou Wen entered the Fiend Tomb dungeon again. This time, he naturally didn't dare provoke Goddess Ba. All he did was remove the Ghoul Mask and Ghost Hornless before not attacking again. He maintained this state and observed for any other abnormalities in the Fiend Tomb.
When Zhang Yuzhi invited him to participate in the so-called auction, there were no more problems with the Fiend Tomb. As long as he didn't continue digging, Goddess Ba wouldn't wake up.
Originally, the auction was going to be held in Dragon Tiger Town, but now, it was changed to a temporary encampment near the Fiend Tomb.
Those who could be invited were basically the top figures in the Federation. The people from the six families were all present. When the Cape family saw Zhou Wen, they naturally didn't have any good expressions.
The other families didn't have a good relationship with Zhou Wen. Instead, someone from the North District's Ultimate Family Clan took the initiative to greet Zhou Wen.
"Lance often mentions you. He wants to have a serious battle with you again. If you have the time in the future, why don't you head to the North District?" the elder from the Ultimate Family Clan said to Zhou Wen with a smile.
"If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely go." Zhou Wen had long had thoughts about the dimensional zones in the North District, but he hadn't gone because it was too far away.
However, now that Fine Dust needed him to walk an unknown path in order to advance, it was inevitable that he would have to walk around in the future, so it was a good time to make a trip to the North District.
After chatting for a while, the person in charge of the Zhang Clan came over and began to speak.
It was similar to what Zhang Chunqiu had said. The general meaning was that the Zhang family wouldn't charge any form of money for the Earth Elemental Beast Companion Egg auction. As long as they could help the Zhang family resolve the problem of the Fiend Tomb, they could take away the Earth Elemental Beast Companion Egg.
In fact, most people already knew the news in advance, so they were not surprised. After all, such a big thing happened to the Zhang family, it was impossible to hide it.
"Brother Zhang, we roughly know the situation in the Fiend Tomb. However, there are some things that we might not be able to do without seeing it with our own eyes," said Dugu Wenxin, the representative of the Dugu family.
"In a while, I'll bring everyone to the Fiend Tomb to take a look. However, there's one thing I have to make clear to everyone. The Fiend Tomb is extremely strange. Anyone who goes there might be struck by some unknown power. Who knows when they might unknowingly walk towards the Fiend Tomb and become a lifeless Fiend Stone statue. Therefore, those who go will face a certain amount of danger. Whether you go or not, please make your own decision. If something happens because of this, the Zhang Family will not take any responsibility, "said the person in charge of the Zhang Family.
"Of course," Moses said.
Most people expressed that they were willing to take the risk, and only a small number of people wanted to withdraw.
The Zhang family brought over the contract and made the people who were willing to take the risk sign it. Only then did they bring the people who had signed the contract to the Fiend Tomb.
Zhou Wen was among them. He was determined to obtain the Earth Elemental Beast Companion Egg, so he naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity.
"You've already been there. It's not like you don't know the dangers there. Why are you still going?" The others set off for the Fiend Tomb, but Zhou Wen was stopped by Zhang Yuzhi.
"I thought of a method that might be able to eliminate the influence of the Fiend Tomb, so I want to give it a try," Zhou Wen said.
"What method is it?" Zhang Yuzhi asked doubtfully.
Zhou Wen didn't hide it. "I want to dig up the Fiend Tomb and remove the dimensional creatures inside. That way, I can naturally eliminate the negative effects."
Zhang Yuzhi immediately shook her head and said, "That's definitely not feasible. The ancestral Celestial Master said that if we release the creatures in the Fiend Tomb, all living beings will be plunged into misery and suffering. The Zhang family will also be annihilated. Our Zhang family has suppressed the Fiend Tomb for so many years because we don't want such a thing to happen. How can we dig up the Fiend Tomb for our own selfish reasons? "
"According to my observations, there shouldn't be only one terrifying creature in the Fiend Tomb. The one affecting your Zhang family shouldn't be the Ba mentioned by the ancestral Celestial Master. As long as we don't alarm Ba and dig open the Fiend Tomb a little, we can kill the dimensional creatures that affect your Zhang family," Zhou Wen explained.
Zhang Yuzhi shook her head with a bitter smile. "Who knows what will happen once the Fiend Tomb is touched? Perhaps the terrifying creatures inside will escape. The consequences will be unimaginable. I'm afraid my elders won't agree to that. "
Zhou Wen pondered for a moment. It was already so difficult to convince Zhang Yuzhi, so it would probably be even more difficult to convince the elders of the Zhang family. He couldn't say that he already knew the situation in the Fiend Tomb, so it would be quite troublesome to convince them.
Now, Zhou Wen could only take things one step at a time. He was unwilling to give up the Earth Elemental Beast Companion Egg no matter what.
After witnessing the horror of the Terror transformation, if he encountered such a terrifying existence before he had the strength to fight it, the only option was to flee.
As for the Earth Elemental Beast, it was undoubtedly the best weapon for escaping. When the time came, it was highly likely that he would have to rely on it to survive.
Of course, it was best if he didn't encounter a Terror-form creature, but if he did, he needed a way to preserve his life.
In the future, more and more Guardians would appear. There would definitely be more Terror-form Guardians appearing. There might even be terrifying dimensional creatures appearing.
If it was really as the silver-haired Companion Beast had said, the combination of humans and Guardians might produce a Calamity-grade expert. That would be even more terrifying.
The Terror grade was already so terrifying. Zhou Wen couldn't imagine what kind of power a Calamity-grade would have.
As Zhang Yuzhi wasn't allowed to go to the Fiend Tomb, Zhou Wen had no choice but to chase after her alone and follow the others to the Fiend Tomb.
Zhang Chunqiu had been guarding the Fiend Tomb recently. When Zhou Wen and company arrived, Zhang Chunqiu came out to welcome them and brought them to the stone platform.
This stone platform had a great background. It was built by the Ancestral Celestial Master back then. To this day, it hadn't been petrified. The ground and mountain walls beneath the stone platform had long been petrified. Only the eight stone platforms were safe and sound.
Most of the people who came were from the other five families. A portion of them were famous local wealthy families and famous freelance hunters.
Zhou Wen looked at them for a while, but he didn't find any traces of Liu Yun.
Liu Yun probably won't give up easily on something he has his eyes on. If he's not here, could it be that he plans on stealing the Earth Elemental Beast Companion Egg? Zhou Wen was somewhat suspicious.
The others had already begun studying the problem of the Fiend Stones. They had already obtained detailed information from the Zhang family. Now was the time for them to show their abilities.
Some people summoned Companion Beasts and tried to see if they could avoid being petrified. Others wanted to use some power to purify the petrified mountain walls and people.
An elder from the Cape family summoned a cross. After praying, the cross emitted a holy glow and shone at the Zhang family members who had turned into Fiend Stone statues. However, it was useless. The Fiend Stones weren't purified.
