Chapter 1061 Two Unreasonable

The golden toad's tongue was cut off by an axe, and blood spurted out of its mouth as it let out a shrill scream.

Flames actually started burning at the broken part of its tongue, and the blood also started burning when it sprayed into the air, like fireworks.

"So strong!" Zhou Wen was shocked.

Even the Ice Girl did not dare to underestimate the strength of the golden toad, but Wei Ge had its tongue chopped off by a single axe. This was truly terrifying.

"Wait... the axe... the laurel tree... could the thing attached to Wei Ge be the lumberjack in mythology?" Zhou Wen looked at Wei Ge in surprise and doubt.

The more Zhou Wen thought about it, the more possible it seemed. In the myths and legends, the lumberjack was originally a human being. However, he made a huge mistake while cultivating immortality, and was punished by the enraged Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor had to chop down the laurel tree on the moon before allowing him to leave.

However, the laurel tree on the moon is not an ordinary tree, but an immortal tree. When it is chopped down with an axe, the wound on the tree will have healed automatically when the axe is pulled back.

So the lumberjack will continue to cut down trees on the moon forever and will never be able to leave the moon again.

This is just one version of the legend of the lumberjack. Zhou Wen didn't quite believe it at first, but since the stump of the osmanthus tree had been discovered before and now this man has appeared, it's hard not to connect the two together.

"But according to legend, it is impossible to cut down a cassia tree. How come there is only a stump left now? How did the cutter die?" Zhou Wen was full of doubts.

While Zhou Wen was still thinking, the injured golden toad retreated into Guanghan Palace, and the possessed Wei Ge also walked in.

"If you want to leave, now is the best opportunity." The Ice Girl reminded.

"Director Shen, do you want to go back to the spaceship?" Zhou Wen looked at Shen Yuchi and asked.

Shen Yuchi pondered and said, "Xiao Wei has made such a great sacrifice. Since he can still be saved, we can't just abandon him. We have to think of a way."

Zhou Wen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Shen Yuchi to say such a thing.

"So, you want to go in and rescue people?" Zhou Wen stared at Shen Yuchi and asked.

"I can only say I'll go in and take a look. If there's a chance, I'll save him. If there's no chance, I can't go and die again. I'm just doing the best I can." Shen Yuchi invited him, "You and Wei Ge were classmates, so you won't abandon him, right?"

"We are just from the same school, not the same class. We don't have much interaction and we are not very close. If you want to save you, do it yourself. I am not in the mood to take risks." Zhou Wen said.

Shen Yuchi was slightly stunned, but didn't say anything more. He took Wang Qiuyuan into Guanghan Palace.

After they went in, Zhou Wen took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the small hand pattern behind the three words "Guanghan Palace".

With a click, the phone screen suddenly changed to loading.

"I wonder if there really is a Chang'e in the Guanghan Palace. It would be very interesting if a Chang'e companion pet were to appear?" Zhou Wen saw that the phone was still loading and it didn't look like the download could be completed in a short time.

"Should we go in?" Zhou Wen looked at the gate of Guanghan Palace. The air inside was as cold as fog and he could not see anything. Even his ability of listening could not penetrate inside.

"If I were you, I wouldn't choose to go in." The Ice Girl suddenly said from the side.

"Why?" Zhou Wen looked at the Ice Girl.

The Ice Girl said, "The being that possessed your classmate is too powerful. The Golden Toad is as strong as I am now, yet he was able to severely injure him with a single blow. With such power, even if the Demon Slayer were to fight, he might not be able to win. You'd better think carefully."

After a pause, the Ice Girl continued, "And this matter is a bit strange. As far as I know, it is impossible for a human to ascend to the Myth level through their own strength, let alone reach the Terror level. That creature said he was human, but his strength is also very terrifying among the Terror levels. Unless he is not human, there must be something hidden."

Zhou Wen didn't say anything. He looked at the gate of Guanghan Palace in silence.

He didn't care whether the person possessing Wei Ge was a human or not, but there was one thing that Zhou Wen was very concerned about.

Shen Yuchi would actually take the risk of entering a place like Guanghan Palace for Wei Ge. No matter how he thought about it, something seemed wrong.

"Do you think it's possible that Shen Yuchi knew about the existence of the bone pottery jar from the beginning?" Zhou Wen said thoughtfully.

"What do you mean? If he knew, why would he come here to take the risk?" The Ice Girl frowned.

"Yeah, that doesn't make sense, but there's another thing that doesn't make sense either. I haven't had much contact with Wei Ge, but I do know him a little. He's definitely not someone who would sacrifice himself for a place like the Supervisory Bureau. He actually volunteered to take that risk. That's not like his character."

"Is it possible that he was forced into it? After all, even if there really was a draw, Shen Yuchi might tamper with it, and the person who went in the end would most likely be him. It would be better for him to take the initiative. If he succeeds, he can get Shen Yuchi's appreciation in the future." said the Ice Girl.

"No, Wei Ge knows that Shen Yuchi is afraid of me. If he really needs to fight to the death, he will probably ask me for help. It's impossible for him to use gestures to stop me from intervening."

Zhou Wen paused and continued, "Is it possible that Wei Ge also recognizes bone pottery and knows what is inside it, so he took the initiative to take the risk?"

"This seems a bit unreasonable." The Ice Girl frowned.

"But when you put two unreasonable things together, it seems to become somewhat reasonable. Otherwise, I really can't figure out why Wei Ge and Shen Yuchi would have such unreasonable behavior." Zhou Wen said.

"It's not difficult to know the answer. Just go in and take a look." The Ice Girl said, looking at the gate of Guanghan Palace.

"Then let's go in and take a look." Zhou Wen glanced at his phone and found that it was still downloading, so he asked Bingnv to lead the way, and the two of them entered the gate of Guanghan Palace together.

He didn't feel much outside the door, but as soon as he entered, Zhou Wen felt a terrifying chill that actually penetrated the space suit that could withstand low temperatures, making Zhou Wen shiver.

When the Ice Girl came over, Zhou Wen immediately felt that the coldness had subsided a lot and his body became warm.

"How did Shen Yuchi and the others survive such low temperatures?" Zhou Wen felt more and more puzzled. Even his body couldn't bear it. He didn't believe that Shen Yuchi and Wang Qiuyuan could withstand such low temperatures.

Fortunately, there was the Ice Girl, a powerful cold-type warrior. Wherever she went, the cold air naturally receded. Zhou Wen could vaguely see many jade buildings in the cold fog, just like a fairyland in mythology.
