Chapter 1306 Forced Contract

Zhou Wen landed on the edge of the stone tool and glanced at the four monkeys. They didn't move at all, and seemed not to mind what Zhou Wen did at all.

"Do you really want me to contract a guardian?" Zhou Wen looked at the stone cocoon inside the stone tool, his expression uncertain.

Being a Contract Guardian is not a difficult task in itself. As long as one meets the Guardian's physical requirements, the contract can be completed with just one drop of blood.

Even if the guardian's requirements are not met, a contract can still be signed as long as the guardian is willing.

However, Zhou Wen had no interest in the Contract Guardians and even felt a little repulsed. After all, the Guardians were tools used by the other dimension to colonize the Earth.

It is a bit similar to the cyborgs that humans once fantasized about creating. When you make a contract with such a creature, you may be betrayed at any time, and that feeling is not pleasant.

The main reason is that Zhou Wen has too many secrets. If the guardian learns these secrets and secretly informs the other dimension, God knows how the other dimension will deal with him.

If there were any other way, Zhou Wen would never contract a guardian. Even if he wanted to contract, it would have to be a master-servant contract like the one between the Demon Infant and the Demon Killer.

But now that Zhou Wen thinks about it, it seems that there is no other way to go. This dimensional realm is really weird. If he doesn't sign a contract now, it seems that he can't get out.

Zhou Wen thought about it and felt that if he could get out, he could sign a contract first. After all, the protection contract was an equal contract. He could escape first and then find a way to terminate the contract.

The good thing about an equal contract is that it is not particularly difficult to terminate it, and there are still ways to do it.

"Saving my life is the most important thing." Zhou Wen thought of this, and skillfully gathered his fingertips to prick a needle-like wound on the finger of his other hand. He squeezed out a drop of blood, ready to drip it onto the stone cocoon.

Before dripping the blood, Zhou Wen took a special look at the four monkeys below. Seeing that they had no intention of stopping him, he hardened his heart and dripped the drop of blood onto the stone cocoon.

"Alas, I was forced into this. I don't really want to be the guardian of the contract. My ancestors, please don't want me. If you want to blame someone, blame the fact that the genes you inherited are too excellent." Zhou Wen thought sadly in his heart.

Blood had already dripped onto the stone cocoon, but it was too late to regret.

But the next second, Zhou Wen found to his embarrassment that his blood fell on the stone cocoon, just like water dripping into an oil pan, it slid down without getting any sticky on the stone cocoon.

“…” Zhou Wen opened his mouth wide and didn’t come back to his senses for a long time.

"What's going on? Didn't you want me to sign the contract?" After Zhou Wen calmed down, he became even more confused.

If he wasn't here to sign the contract, why did they let him up here? The four monkeys clearly agreed to let him come. This kind of behavior should show that they still have high hopes for Zhou Wen.

However, his blood was completely unable to cause any reaction from the Guardian Cocoon, which meant that he had not been recognized by the Guardian Cocoon, or that his bloodline and attributes did not meet the requirements of a guardian.

"Could it be that those four monkeys made a mistake?" Zhou Wen muttered to himself, but after taking a look at the four monkeys, he felt that this idea was wrong.

If Zhou Wen were those monkeys and found out that they had made a mistake, they would probably swallow them directly to avoid embarrassment. However, those monkeys had no such intention and seemed to be still waiting for something.

"What's going on?" Zhou Wen looked at the stone cocoon again. After a closer look, he found that there was indeed something different about the stone cocoon.

Zhou Wen had discovered before that there were some faint gray lines on the surface of the stone cocoon. They looked inconspicuous and could not be seen unless you looked carefully. Zhou Wen used to think that those gray lines were the natural patterns of the stone cocoon.

Now after looking at it carefully for a while, he found that it was not the case. He found that the gray lines seemed to have been painted on.

Zhou Wen didn't know what kind of pigment it was. It was gray, like burnt paper ash, and it was very closely integrated with the stone cocoon. The color was also similar, so Zhou Wen had previously thought that the gray lines were part of the stone cocoon.

However, if you look closely, you will find that many places in the gray lines have traces of being outlined with a brush, the kind of brush used in ancient times in the East District. The paintings are a bit like ink paintings, but they are much lighter, as if they have experienced the baptism of time and are almost blurred.

"Drawing on the Guardian's Cocoon?" Zhou Wen felt that this would not be done by someone with nothing to do. The painting on it must have some purpose.

He walked around the edge of the stone tool and carefully studied the gray lines on the Guardian's cocoon. Although they were very faint, they could still be seen clearly.

But Zhou Wen didn't understand what he saw. He found that the gray lines were a kind of strange symbols, like a series of digital codes painted all over the surface of the Guardian's Cocoon.

Those symbols were very unfamiliar, and they were definitely not some kind of text or symbols that Zhou Wen knew.

But Zhou Wen had a vague feeling that these strings of symbols were like circles of chains, surrounding the stone cocoon, as if locking it.

Zhou Wen secretly speculated: "Could it be that these gray lines sealed the stone cocoon, so my blood can't be absorbed by the stone cocoon?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was right. Zhou Wen decided to try and see if he could wipe off the gray lines, and then try to make a contract with it.

"Brother apes, do you want me to wipe off those gray lines and then contract the Guardian's Cocoon?" Zhou Wen was afraid that touching the stone cocoon would anger the apes, so he asked first.

But they still didn't show any reaction, as if they didn't hear Zhou Wen's words at all.

"These four guys are so abominable. They clearly want me to do something, but they say nothing and express nothing." Zhou Wen wished he could kill them all, and it would be best if four companion eggs dropped.

I will buy a car without wheels in the future and let these four carry me around every day.

He thought about it, but seeing that they didn't react, Zhou Wen thought he should give it a try, so he carefully flew into the stone tool and slowly approached the stone cocoon.

While flying, he was still paying attention to their reactions. Seeing that they had no intention of stopping him, Zhou Wen finally landed on the stone cocoon.

The diameter of this stone cocoon is estimated to be four or five meters, which is quite large. I don’t know what kind of guardian is inside. Since there are four monkeys guarding it, there may be a stone monkey inside.

"The legendary Monkey King seems to have jumped out of a stone. Could this guardian be the Monkey King?" Zhou Wen was a little excited.

As a person from the East District, it seems that no one dislikes the Monkey King. Among the Four Mischievous Monkeys, he is much more famous than the other three.
