"Where's the bell?" Zhou Wen was about to say something to the ice maiden when he suddenly heard The Thearch's voice in his mind.
"The Thearch, there was a problem during the teleportation. I didn't find the tower you mentioned," Zhou Wen answered.
"Impossible. There's only one place the bronze tripod can teleport to. You definitely can see that tower." Although The Thearch said that, she seemed to be holding back.
This was because she didn't see Doctor Darkness holding the bell. The bell could only be held by experts at the Terror grade and above. Ordinary storage spaces couldn't store the bell.
"I'm telling the truth." Zhou Wen immediately recounted his experience.
When The Thearch heard his description of the volcanic area, she believed him a little. This was because it was very difficult to enter from Earth or the dimension. If Zhou Wen had only heard of the existence of such a place, it was impossible for him to describe it in such detail.
"Strange, how could I teleport there?" In the cave, The Thearch muttered to herself. She already believed that Zhou Wen hadn't obtained the bell.
The place she wanted Zhou Wen to go was in a dimensional space, and it was impossible for Zhou Wen to enter the dimension in such a place. Naturally, it was impossible for him to find the tower and obtain the bell.
"That's not right. If you didn't enter the dimension, how could you help the Nine-Tailed Fox pass the message to the Emperor of Shang?" The Thearch suddenly reacted.
When Zhou Wen heard The Thearch say that, he knew that nothing in Chess Mountain could be hidden from her. Thankfully, he only needed a thought to communicate with the ice maiden in the chaos space. It was unlikely that The Thearch had discovered him. All he could do was continue, "I'm not done yet. After I arrived at the volcanic area, I saw a huge mountain peak. The mountain peak was like a heavenly pillar that pierced into the sky. I thought that the tower you mentioned was up there, so I climbed the tower. To my surprise, I didn't see the tower, but an ice castle …"
Zhou Wen adapted what had happened in a half-truth. He didn't mention the Heaven Shrouding Bell, nor did he mention that he had abducted the ice maiden to Earth.
What you want is the bell in the tower. This isn't the bell in the tower, so it naturally isn't what you want, Zhou Wen thought. He planned on obtaining the Heaven Shrouding Bell from the ice maiden and taking it for himself.
Seeing how detailed Zhou Wen was, The Thearch knew that Zhou Wen had indeed made a mistake during the teleportation. It was already lucky that he could return alive.
"I never expected the bronze tripod to make such a teleportation error. It's really strange. Did you do anything during the teleportation?" The Thearch asked in thought.
"What can I do? We're just waiting for the teleportation, "Zhou Wen said.
The Thearch thought for a moment and felt that Zhou Wen's strength wasn't enough to affect the spatial teleportation. Furthermore, he wasn't a fool. Why would he deliberately make the wrong teleportation coordinates?
Unable to figure it out, The Thearch didn't say anything else. Only when Zhou Wen walked to the flower outside Chess Mountain did The Thearch say, "Swear to the flower that you didn't obtain the bell."
Although The Thearch felt that there was nothing wrong with what Zhou Wen said, she wasn't at ease with Zhou Wen.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Wen raised his hand and swore at the flower on the mountain wall. "I swear that I didn't see the tower this time, nor did I obtain the bell from the tower. If I'm lying, I'll be condemned by my conscience for the rest of my life."
Boom!
A clap of thunder sounded out of thin air. It looked like the power of the oath had taken effect, but Zhou Wen was safe and sound. Only then did The Thearch believe him.
"The Thearch, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first." Zhou Wen bade farewell and left Chess Mountain to return to school.
Although The Thearch had a nagging feeling that something was amiss, she couldn't figure out what it was.
After Zhou Wen left Chess Mountain, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. Although this trip to the dimension was extremely dangerous, it wasn't without gains. At the very least, now that the ice maiden was in his hands, he would be able to obtain the Heaven Shrouding Bell sooner or later.
To Zhou Wen's surprise, the ice maiden didn't seem to be affected by Earth in the chaos space. There weren't any taboo restrictions that she had mentioned.
The ice maiden didn't come out of the ice castle. It looked like she was thinking of a solution. However, even the Heaven Shrouding Bell was useless. The chances of her coming out were almost zero, so Zhou Wen wasn't too worried.
Before he arrived at school, Zhou Wen received many messages when his phone had a signal. There were from Li Xuan, Wang Lu, and company, and even from Zhang Yuzhi.
Zhou Wen replied to some messages and learned about what had happened recently.
The most important thing was that another Guardian had appeared on the rankings. Zhou Wen wasn't surprised by the appearance of a Guardian. What surprised him was that the Guardian on the rankings was called Fairy Burial.
Has Senior Jiang Yan finally taken action? Zhou Wen thought to himself.
However, Fairy Burial was only ranked third. He didn't challenge the two Guardians in front of him. Up to now, there hadn't been a battle between Guardians.
However, Zhou Wen knew very well that a war between Guardians was inevitable. They would fight sooner or later.
Recently, Zhou Wen had also figured out some things. The Guardians were sent by the dimensional races to vie for control of Earth, so they likely wouldn't want to destroy Earth wantonly. There was a high chance that their battle would be carried out in the cube's body.
Zhou Wen even felt that the cube's ranking battle was actually prepared for Guardians, not just the pet rankings.
Unfortunately, I haven't advanced to the Mythical stage, so I can't participate in the battle. If I want to kill those Guardians, I can only find them in reality, Zhou Wen thought.
"You're back?" A message came. It was from Ya 'er. Ya' er had likely seen his account go online and knew that Zhou Wen was back.
Zhou Wen hurriedly replied, "I just came back. I haven't reached the city yet. I'll pick you up now."
"I'll wait for you," Ya 'er replied.
Zhou Wen had no choice but to head to the An family first to fetch Ya 'er back.
As he walked, the mysterious phone suddenly vibrated. Zhou Wen was alarmed. He imagined that a new dimensional zone had appeared in the city, but when he took it out, he realized that the fruit on the Dead Man Tree had ripened.
Xia Jiuhuang's fruit has finally ripened. Zhou Wen was still looking forward to Xia Jiuhuang's fruit.
After all, Xia Jiuhuang had already advanced to the Mythical stage back then. Furthermore, he had fused nine Life Providences and nine Life Souls. This was something ordinary humans didn't have.
Xia Jiuhuang also had all sorts of strange Essence Energy Skills. If all of this could be inherited by a Companion Beast, this Companion Beast's abilities would definitely be extremely powerful.
Most importantly, the Companion Beasts born on the Dead Man Tree were very unique. Zhou Wen felt that the Dead Man Tree wouldn't disappoint him this time, so he looked at the fruit on the Dead Man Tree.
