Chapter 1481 Holy Spring Well

"It can't be such a coincidence!" Zhou Wen muttered in his heart.

The giant beast in the stone pavilion looked like a bear no matter how you looked at it, a giant bear with gray-blue hair. Zhou Wen looked somewhat similar to it now.

"This little beast is not a cat! It's a bear? Your appearance is too deceptive, isn't it?" Zhou Wen sensed that the giant bear's aura was extremely terrifying. It hadn't gotten angry yet, but the aura on its body was already surging like a tsunami. Even Zhou Wen felt terrified. It must be a disaster-level aura without a doubt.

Zhou Wen has always been in awe of creatures like bears.

Although many people think that bears are stupid animals, like big, stupid guys who seem easy to bully, Zhou Wen also thought so when he was very young.

However, when he was in middle school, Yu Qiubai told some legends about bears, which completely overturned Zhou Wen's understanding of bears, so that every time he saw a bear-like dimensional creature, he would subconsciously become more cautious.

In fact, in the earliest Eastern myths and legends, bears occupied a very important position.

Emperor Huangdi was of the Youxiong clan. In the legend of Dayu's flood control, Dayu transformed into a bear to fight various water beasts. Before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many legends about the divine bear, which was also the earliest totem worship image. The rise of the dragon was in a much later era.

The reason why ancient people worshipped bears so much was not only because of their immense strength and combat effectiveness, but also because of their hibernation habits. Bears can go without food or water for several months, and when they reappear, they give people a feeling of resurrection from the dead. Therefore, the ancients worshipped bears very much.

Even the legendary Chaos Beast, in some versions, was probably created based on a bear.

After listening to what Yu Qiubai said, Zhou Wen's perception of bears changed a lot. So when he saw a disaster-level giant bear here, Zhou Wen became cautious unconsciously and did not launch an attack immediately.

The giant bear just stared at him and didn't even attack.

The giant bear's blood-red eyes looked at the little beast beside it, then at Zhou Wen, as if it was having trouble making a decision.

Zhou Wen's mind suddenly moved: "So that's why it can't tell who is its child, so it's so hesitant and hasn't taken action yet."

While Zhou Wen was thinking, the giant bear stood up and walked out of the stone pavilion, circled around Zhou Wen and the little bear a few times, then stretched out its claws and threw Zhou Wen and the little bear onto its back.

Zhou Wen was startled, but fortunately his mental line was strong enough, so he resisted the urge to attack and finally landed on the back of the giant bear.

"Which bastard said that the natural disaster creatures here look like lions but not lions, tigers but not tigers, and your sister, it's basically a bear!" Zhou Wen was on the back of the giant bear, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Given his current position, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity to assassinate the giant bear. He only needs to draw out the Immortal-Slaying Sword and strike the giant bear's neck or other parts of its body with weaker defenses. Maybe he can eat disaster-level bear meat today.

When Zhou Wen thought of this, he couldn't help but saliva and had to swallow.

However, Zhou Wen quickly dismissed this idea: "A calamity-level creature shouldn't have a negative IQ, right? Even if it can't tell who its children are, doesn't it know how many children it has?"

This is obviously illogical. The giant bear put both creatures on its back even though it knew that one of them was not its child. So there must be something wrong.

"I think this bear is definitely trying to trick me. There must be some conspiracy waiting for me. This is for sure. I can't act rashly and can't let it see the flaw. I have to find out what conspiracy it has first." Zhou Wenqiang resisted the urge to assassinate the giant bear.

The giant bear twisted its body and walked slowly through the woods.

Its body was huge, but when it moved, it seemed to turn into a blue shadow. When its body hit trees or other plants, it just passed through them.

Even Zhou Wen and the little bear on it were affected by this power.

Zhou Wen was amazed as he watched the huge trees passing through his body, yet they seemed unreal.

Zhou Wen himself is proficient in the power of the space system, and is also proficient in the space system's teleportation and space shuttle abilities. He can say with certainty that this is definitely not the ability of the space system.

"It's really strange. Where did this bear come from? With its level and ability, there are probably not many creatures on Earth that have broken the ban that can fight it. Does it need to hide from its enemies and run to a place like Laojuntai?" The more Zhou Wen thought about it, the more strange it seemed.

The more Zhou Wen thought about it, the more he felt that there was something fishy about the bear's origin, so he became even more hesitant to act rashly.

The giant bear carried Zhou Wen and the little bear and walked slowly towards the depths of Mingdao Palace. Neither the trees nor the various buildings could stop the giant bear's progress.

It is like a ghost that does not exist in the world, wandering in the mortal world, but not bound by any material in the mortal world.

Zhou Wen saw various buildings and ancient trees, as well as many dimensional creatures roaming around. However, those dimensional creatures did not dare to approach the giant bear. Once they spotted the giant bear, they would quickly retreat.

They just retreated, not in a frightened manner. After retreating, they watched the giant bear from a distance. It can be seen that they did not seem particularly scared.

"Could this guy be trying to take me to Laojun Terrace? What's his purpose in doing so? What's the benefit for him? Could it be that there is something on Laojun Terrace that can help him distinguish who his real child is?" As Zhou Wen was guessing, the giant bear slowly stopped and did not move forward.

Zhou Wen looked around and found that he had not yet reached Laojun Terrace. In front of the giant bear, there was an ancient well with a rack and a wooden barrel for drawing water.

When they got here, the giant bear lay down, then carried Zhou Wen and the little bear down and placed them beside the well. Then, it picked up the wooden barrel and put it into the well, shaking the wooden frame, trying to draw water, just like a human.

"What on earth does this guy want to do?" Zhou Wen looked around and saw a stone with the words "Holy Spring Well" engraved on it. He immediately knew what this place was.

This holy spring well is quite famous. Legend has it that when Laojun was about to ascend to heaven, his mount, the green ox tied by the well, seemed to know that its master was going to die, and it couldn't help but mooing, as if crying, and tears of blood flowed from its eyes.

Laojun was reluctant to part with the green ox, but the green ox had a mortal body and could not ascend to heaven with him.

In desperation, Laojun poured all the golden elixirs he had made with his own hands into the well, causing spring water to gush out of the originally ordinary well.

The green ox drank the holy spring water every day, and one day it was able to ascend to heaven and reunite with its master.
