Chapter 437: Valley of No Crying

The moment he held the stone knife, Zhou Wen suddenly felt an ancient aura coming from the stone knife, which made his heart tremble slightly, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the handle.

With a gentle pull, the stone knife was pulled out a little. Zhou Wen suddenly felt that the entire Guide Ancient City shook, and flames gushed out of the stone furnace, as if countless creatures were roaring and screaming inside.

Zhou Wen's face changed slightly, and he immediately pressed the stone knife back, and the feeling of horror disappeared again.

"This stone knife...could it be like the jade box on Chess Piece Mountain...an object that seals the other-dimensional realm?" Zhou Wen let go of the stone knife, not daring to touch it again.

Although he didn't know what the consequences would be if he pulled out the stone knife, Zhou Wen still chose not to touch it.

After getting off the Vulcan Platform, Zhou Wen discovered something was wrong. Originally, the majority of people in Guide Ancient City should be skeleton soldiers, and skeleton generals were only a minority.

But now Zhou Wen actually saw more than a dozen skeleton generals nearby, but he didn’t see them when he came here. It was obvious that they had just appeared.

"I just pulled out the stone knife, and it really did have an effect." Zhou Wen continued to walk out and found that there were indeed many more skeleton generals.

Originally, it was a great achievement to encounter one or two withered skeleton generals in the ancient city, but now, Zhou Wen has seen no less than fifty of them along the way, and he doesn't know how many more there are that he hasn't seen.

The appearance of so many skeleton generals made the garrison very happy. Usually, there were only some skeleton soldiers to kill, but now there are suddenly so many skeleton generals, and the explosion rate is much higher, which naturally makes them very excited.

Zhou Wen was vaguely worried. Judging from the current situation, if the ban on the dimensional field was really broken, the situation might be more serious than he imagined.

After returning to the old house and staying there for one night, Zhou Wen set off for the Yuanjing Mine of the Supervisory Bureau early the next morning.

The dimension where the Yuanjing Mine is located is called "No Crying Valley". Legend has it that it was originally a very beautiful valley. A young couple lived in the valley. The woman grew vegetables and flowers in the valley, and the man went up the mountain to hunt. They lived a life like a fairy couple.

But one time the man went hunting in the mountains and never came back. The woman waited anxiously for him to come back, but he never came back.

After that, the nearby villagers kept hearing crying sounds coming from the valley at night, almost without interruption.

Some villagers bravely entered the valley during the day and found that the woman had been dead for a long time. Her body was dry and there was a knife stuck in her abdomen. It seemed that she had committed suicide.

The villagers buried the woman's body and renamed the valley "Valley of No Crying", hoping that the woman could rest in peace and no longer cry. However, the woman's crying could still be heard in the valley every night.

Of course, these are just legends. There is no sound of crying in the Valley of No Crying. However, since the extra-dimensional storm, there has indeed been sounds of crying in the Valley of No Crying, but they are not from that woman.

Anyone who enters the Valley of No Crying will cry uncontrollably and will be unable to control it. If they go too deep, they will die inexplicably while crying.

The Supervisory Bureau has obviously mastered the secret of the Valley of No Crying, so they can come and go freely in the Valley of No Crying and are not affected by the mysterious power.

However, other forces sent many people to find out the secret of the Valley of No Crying and seize the Yuanjing Mine inside, but they all returned empty-handed and many people died.

This included the An family. The An family only learned about the tears in the Bu Ku Valley after the two survivors returned.

Zhou Wen suspected that the power that made people cry should be similar to the power of a curse, and Di Ting has a good restraining effect on powers like curses, so Zhou Wen planned to come to the Valley of No Crying to give it a try.

If he could really restrain the power of the Valley of No Crying, then he would have a good chance of entering the Yuanjing Mine.

Of course, Zhou Wen did not venture in. Firstly, it was because the Tyrant Behemoth had not yet completed its evolution. Secondly, he wanted to look for the small hand pattern outside. If he could find the small hand pattern, he would be more confident if he tried it in the game first.

At the Luoyang An family, An Tianzuo frowned at An Sheng and said, "What do you mean by losing contact with that brat?"

"He contacted me when he went to the ancient city of Guide, but after that, there was no news from him at all. It has been four days now, and there has been no news from him. He has not returned to Luoyang nor is he in Guide Prefecture. There is no news from him in Qizi Mountain either." An Sheng said.

"Then where are his people?" An Tianzuo asked.

An Sheng pondered for a moment before speaking: "General, I think he might have gone to the Supervisory Bureau."

"Nonsense, what can he do in the Supervisory Bureau? He doesn't really think that by killing a man named Yak, he will be able to become the enemy of the Supervisory Bureau, right?" An Tianzuo put the teacup heavily on the table.

An Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Wen looks gentle and doesn't seem to care about anything, but deep down he's just as stubborn as you, the Governor. The Supervisory Bureau has bullied him time and again, and Young Master Wen will definitely not let it go. He asked me for information about the Supervisory Bureau before, so he must be going to cause trouble for the Supervisory Bureau."

"Nonsense, you become arrogant and do whatever you want just because you have achieved a little. You don't know your place. Do you think you are invincible just because you killed Yak?" An Tianzuo said angrily.

"General, I don't think Young Master Wen is a reckless person. I think he must have his own ideas, and maybe he can really do something." An Sheng said.

"What could he possibly do? Not to mention Shen Yuchi, even I'm wary of him. The four inspectors under him are no weaker than Yak, and they're all extremely formidable. If he just wants to vent his anger and kill a few minions, that's fine. But if he really dares to go to the Supervisory Bureau headquarters, he'll be dead." An Tianzuo paused and continued, "If he really just wants to kill a few minions to vent his anger, then he's a stupid pig. Doing that won't help him at all, it will only make the Supervisory Bureau target him even more."

"Master Wen isn't a bloodthirsty person, so he certainly wouldn't kill people to vent his anger." An Sheng muttered to himself, "It seems like you're the one who enjoys killing, right?"

"Hmph, who knows what mess he will do. Go and bring him back to me." An Tianzuo said.

"General, didn't you say to leave him alone?" An Sheng asked.

"Of course I don't care about him. It's just as well that he's dead. I'm just worried that if he gets caught by the Supervisory Bureau while half-dead, his family will be in chaos." An Tianzuo glared at An Sheng and said, "You go right now. No matter what method you use, you must bring him back."

"Yes, I'll go to Kyoto right now." An Sheng responded.
