Zhou Wen's body was restrained by the snake monster's strange power, preventing him from teleporting away. He was alarmed as a terrifying tearing pain came from his body. It was as though his muscles and bones were about to be torn apart by the snake monster.
I can only risk my life. Zhou Wen gritted his teeth. As he retracted his right hand, he held the Heaven Shrouding Bell in his right hand and used Darkness Right Hand's ability again.
"Ah!" The snake monster clutched its head and screamed. Zhou Wen used Darkness Right Hand to place the Heaven Shrouding Bell into its head.
He had only done it in passing and didn't expect it to be of much use. He had originally planned on giving up the Heaven Shrouding Bell, making it difficult for the ice maiden and the snake monster to track him. In order to survive, he had no choice but to abandon the bell.
However, to his surprise, after the bell was placed in the snake monster's head, it made it hold its head and scream. For a moment, it forgot to tear Zhou Wen apart.
Suddenly, an ice beam flashed. Just as Zhou Wen was about to dodge, he realized that the ice beam wasn't aimed at him.
This ice beam was extremely terrifying. Compared to the ice beam Zhou Wen had seen previously, it could be considered warm.
The ice light shone directly on the unguarded snake monster, freezing it into an ice cube.
Zhou Wen also took the opportunity to escape the snake monster's two hands that were still grabbing his feet and finally regained his freedom.
Did I hit the wrong person by accident? Zhou Wen glanced at the snake monster who had a horrified and pained expression. He saw that he was completely immobilized and completely frozen.
It wasn't a mistake. It was intentional. Zhou Wen looked at the ice maiden.
The ice maiden didn't attack Zhou Wen again. She looked at him coldly and said, "The fox core on you belongs to the Nine-Tailed Fox, right?"
Zhou Wen was delighted when he heard that. "Yes, you know her?"
"If I didn't know her, why would I bring you into my castle?" the ice maiden said indifferently.
Zhou Wen had some doubts as to why the ice maiden had brought him into the ice castle.
If she wanted to rear a pet, there were cute dimensional creatures everywhere. The dimensional creatures she had seen were more than the rice Zhou Wen had eaten. There was no need for her to make an exception and raise a snow cat.
"Don't tell me you brought me into the ice castle to deal with him?" Zhou Wen suddenly reacted and glanced at the frozen snake monster.
"This is all thanks to you. If you hadn't attracted all of his attention, I wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily." The ice maiden's tone was very strange, as though she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. However, she clearly wanted to deal with the snake monster and had deliberately used Zhou Wen.
"In that case, I've helped you. Since everyone is friends with the Nine-Tailed Fox, let's pretend nothing happened today," Zhou Wen said.
"Did the Nine-Tailed Fox get you to steal the Heaven Shrouding Bell?" The ice maiden ignored him and asked directly.
Zhou Wen was momentarily at a loss for an answer. If the ice maiden was the Nine-Tailed Fox's enemy, he wouldn't be able to escape death if he said yes.
However, if the ice maiden was the Nine-Tailed Fox's friend, he would probably miss a great opportunity to survive if he said no.
After a moment of thought, Zhou Wen decided to take a gamble. He immediately answered, "Yes."
"Why did she get you to steal the Heaven Shrouding Bell?" the ice maiden asked again.
Seeing that she didn't show any anger, Zhou Wen knew how he had gambled correctly. He said, "I don't know about that. I was only entrusted by her to steal the bell. Also, I hope to meet Emperor of Shang and help her pass a message."
"What message?" the ice maiden asked with a frown.
"You aren't Emperor of Shang. It doesn't seem appropriate for me to tell you," Zhou Wen said after some thought.
"You can choose not to say it," the ice maiden said coldly.
"Alright, she only said 'don't think about it.'" Zhou Wen felt that it was best not to use force if he could avoid it.
"Humph, if she really understood the word 'don't think about it,' she wouldn't have gotten you to steal the Heaven Shrouding Bell," the ice maiden said with a twitch of her lips. Then, her hands emitted an ice beam. When the ice beam landed on the snake monster's body, it gradually disintegrated before shattering into ice shards on the ground. It left Zhou Wen's scalp tingling.
This was a Terror-grade creature, but it had been killed just like that.
In the ice shards, an Essence Energy Skill Crystal and the Heaven Shrouding Bell appeared. Unfortunately, they weren't Zhou Wen's. With a casual wave of the ice maiden's hand, the skill crystal landed in her hand.
"Emperor of Shang is a serious criminal. The place he's imprisoned is in an extremely dangerous area of the dimension. With your strength, you aren't strong enough to enter.
"Isn't this a dimension?" Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement.
"This can only be considered a buffer zone between Earth and the dimension. It's not a real dimension. If you really arrive in a dimension, it will be very difficult for you to survive if you aren't at the Terror grade. How can it be so easy?" The ice maiden said, "If you aren't afraid of death, I can show you the way. I'll let you enter the dimension to meet Emperor of Shang. Whether you can survive in the dimension will depend on your luck."
"It's so dangerous. I'd better not go," Zhou Wen said.
"You have been entrusted with a task, so how can you give up halfway?" The ice maiden paused and said, "Take the Heaven Shrouding Bell with you. Perhaps you'll have a chance to reach the place where Emperor of Shang is imprisoned alive."
Zhou Wen never expected the ice maiden to say such a thing. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, but in the next second, Zhou Wen's heart palpitated as he felt that something was amiss.
When the ice maiden waved her hand and threw the Heaven Shrouding Bell at him, she suddenly shot out an ice beam. The ice beam was fast and ruthless, in no way inferior to the ice beam that had frozen the snake monster.
A woman's heart is indeed the most vicious. Zhou Wen quickly teleported away and forcefully escaped the ice maiden's pursuit.
After rushing into the sea, Zhou Wen used the Eyes of Legacy again to transform into a marine dimensional creature. This time, although the ice maiden flew past in the nearby sky, she didn't discover him.
"You won't be able to escape. This place doesn't belong to Earth, nor does it belong to the dimension. There's no way out. If you come out now, you can die a little more happily," the ice maiden said as she floated in the air, seemingly certain that Zhou Wen was nearby.
Zhou Wen naturally couldn't answer her. Answering her was equivalent to exposing his location. A heartless creature like the ice maiden definitely wouldn't let him off.
Without the Heaven Shrouding Bell on him, the ice maiden couldn't tell the difference between Zhou Wen and ordinary dimensional creatures. Zhou Wen followed the dimensional creatures and gradually left the area.
However, these dimensional creatures seemed to have territorial awareness. They wouldn't go too far, so Zhou Wen had no choice but to transform into another dimensional creature. He traveled further and further, hoping to escape the ice maiden.
Zhou Wen transformed into a fish and was swimming when he suddenly saw a blue glow appear in front of him. It was like a sapphire that emitted light. Zhou Wen took a careful look and realized that it was the blue scallop. Unknowingly, he had returned to the vicinity of the blue liquid spring.
