Inside the crystal coffin, Zhou Wen kept thinking about how he could obtain the bell and escape safely without anyone noticing.
Although he wasn't sure if the bell was the one The Thearch wanted, since he was already here, Zhou Wen still wanted to take the bell back if possible.
The ice maiden was at the Terror grade, and the snake monster might also be at the Terror grade. It wasn't easy to take the bell away in front of two Terror-grade existences.
This was an ice castle, so Earth Escape was useless. Teleportation was likely a more effective method.
As long as he could leave the ice castle, he could use the Earth Elemental Beast to escape to the spatial passageway.
From the looks of it, I can only take the risk. However, it's still difficult to take the bell away in front of two Terror-grade existences. Zhou Wen recalled everything The Thearch had said about the bell.
The Thearch had said that ordinary creatures couldn't touch the bell. It had to be taken by a Companion Beast that had eaten the divine fruit. In other words, Doctor Darkness had to hold the bell until he returned.
Zhou Wen calculated all sorts of possibilities and felt that with his abilities, although he wasn't a match for two Terror-grade existences, as long as he could obtain the bell, it shouldn't be a problem to escape back into the passageway.
Therefore, Zhou Wen decided that if the woman took him to where the bell was again, he would snatch it.
Time ticked by. Twelve hours later, Zhou Wen heard a clock chime again. After twelve chimes, the woman woke up again.
This time, the woman carried Zhou Wen to the hall of the ice castle just like last time.
Zhou Wen immediately perked up and planned on fleeing after snatching the bell.
When the woman arrived at the hall, the snake monster was already in front of the bell. It was unknown if he had been guarding there the entire time and had never left.
However, when it saw the woman approach, the snake monster made way.
The woman placed Zhou Wen on the ground and was about to walk towards the bell when Zhou Wen saw that he couldn't miss the opportunity. Without any hesitation, he switched to the Civilized Country Life Soul and restored his original appearance. He teleported in front of the bell, and Doctor Darkness had already attached himself to Zhou Wen as a soul.
Zhou Wen reached out to hold the bell and felt his soul tremble. Thankfully, with Doctor Darkness possessing him, nothing worse happened.
The woman and the snake monster quickly reacted. The woman transformed into an ice maiden while the snake monster's body suffused a strange light. It grew four arms and six arms emitted a strange light that shone at Zhou Wen who had snatched the bell.
Without any hesitation, he teleported out of the hall again. Without stopping, he teleported four times before finally rushing out of the ice castle.
Almost at the same time he rushed out of the ice castle, Zhou Wen summoned the Earth Elemental Beast and thought to himself, With the Earth Elemental Beast's Earth Escape ability, the greatest distance it can cover should be enough to return to the spatial passageway. Even if the two Terror-grade fellows catch up, I can use my remaining teleportation abilities to rush back to the spatial passageway.
However, when Zhou Wen rode on the Earth Elemental Beast's back and it landed, he was stunned.
Outside the ice castle was likely the huge mountain peak. Zhou Wen's original plan was to use Earth Escape as long as the Earth Elemental Beast landed on the mountain peak.
However, after he rushed out of the ice castle, he suddenly realized that it wasn't the huge mountain peak outside the ice castle, nor was there the churning sea of clouds.
As far as his eyes could see, there was endless blue seawater. Apart from the sea, he couldn't see anything else. The ice castle floated above the sea.
What's … going on … Zhou Wen was momentarily dumbfounded.
Plop!
The Earth Elemental Beast landed in the seawater and the seawater hit Zhou Wen's face, immediately jolting him awake. Although he didn't know what had happened and why the ice castle had turned into an endless sea, he had to escape as much as possible. Apart from that, there was no other way.
Almost instantly, Zhou Wen ordered the Earth Elemental Beast to burrow into the sea.
However, before the Earth Elemental Beast could burrow down, an ice beam shot out from the ice castle. It was unbelievably fast.
Zhou Wen's heart chilled as he unsummoned the Earth Elemental Beast. At the same time, he used Civilized Country's spatial teleportation to leave the seawater.
The ice beam landed on the surface of the sea and instantly, a large swath of the seawater froze. The seawater turned into a glacier, and it was unknown how thick it was.
The snake monster charged forward angrily. Its snake tail swayed and in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Zhou Wen. Its six arms flailed, bringing with them the winds of death. It sliced through space in a frenzy, hoping to dismember Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and summoned Tyrant Behemoth to face the snake monster. Tyrant Behemoth roared and activated Absolute Strength as it charged at the snake monster.
Crack! Crack!
Blood splattered wounds appeared on Tyrant Behemoth's extremely tough body. Some of the wounds even revealed broken bones.
Tyrant Behemoth flew out with a tragic cry and slammed into the ice. It squeezed the thick glacier into pieces as large amounts of seawater spewed out from the cracks.
Zhou Wen took the opportunity to retreat dozens of meters. At the same time, he summoned Tyrant Behemoth back. He put on the Invisibility Cloak and instantly vanished.
The snake monster scanned its surroundings, but it didn't find Zhou Wen. It couldn't help but turn to the woman and roar, "You brought that human back. Is he your accomplice?"
The ice maiden said coldly, "If it were me, do you think I would be so foolish as to let him steal the Heaven Shrouding Bell like this? If you have the time to suspect me, why don't you think about how to find him? He can't escape here. "
"Explain this matter to the higher-ups yourself." The snake monster seemed to think that what the ice maiden said made sense, but it still said hatefully before beginning to search for Zhou Wen.
The ice maiden was like him as she searched everywhere for Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen wore the Invisibility Cloak and relied on the three minutes of invisibility to rush into the sea and swim deep into the sea.
The seawater here was extremely deep. When Zhou Wen dived deep into the sea, he could only vaguely see specks of light at the bottom of the sea like stars.
However, the stars were colorful, reminding Zhou Wen of the liquid in volcanoes.
As Zhou Wen dived deeper and deeper, he realized that he wasn't wrong. There were countless colorful springs at the bottom of the sea. What spewed out from those springs were all kinds of colorful liquids.
As the colorful liquids spewed out, there were all sorts of crystalline objects. When the crystalline objects came into contact with the seawater, they turned into different dimensional creatures. However, unlike the volcanic area from before, the dimensional creatures here were basically marine creatures.
