Chapter 566 No More Sacrifices

Zhou Wen, who was walking behind, said to Lu Yunxian and Xu Wen, "I want to go see Zhulong, so I won't go to Qiongqi with you."

"Let's go with you." Xu Wen said.

Although their conversation was in a low voice, it still caught Qu Qingyun's attention.

"Didn't Professor Lei just say that after you come in, you must obey all arrangements and not walk around randomly? Don't you want to live?" When Qu Qingyun said this, Professor Lei and the others turned around and looked at them.

"What's going on?" Professor Lei came over and asked.

"Professor Lei, I came here this time just to see the Zhulong Temple. I won't go to the Qiongqi Temple. Now that we have the sacrifice, it should be no problem to go to either one, right?" Zhou Wen said.

Professor Lei pondered and said, "Although the theory is true, the temple is strange and bizarre, and anything can happen. It's best not to go separately. If something goes wrong, we can all work together to find a solution. Otherwise, after we finish our work here, let's go to the Candle Dragon Temple together to take a look."

Zhou Wen shook his head and said, "Those sacrifices just now can only maintain stability for less than an hour. When you return from the Qiongqi Temple, I'm afraid there won't be much time left. I'd better go by myself, just to take a look. Nothing will happen."

"You're pretending to know. The sacrifices we provide can last for at least two hours. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." Qu Qingyun sneered.

"More than two hours? Professor Lei, is this true?" Zhou Wen ignored Qu Qingyun's sarcasm, frowned and looked at Professor Lei and asked.

"That's right. For safety reasons, the sacrifices we provide each time must be enough to last for more than two hours, and the working time must be controlled within one and a half hours. We can finish work early today and take you to visit the Candle Dragon Temple." Professor Lei said.

"Professor Lei, I think you'd better recheck the sacrifice. I can assure you that your sacrifice can only last for an hour at most. If you really want to stay in there for an hour and a half, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to come out alive." Zhou Wen said seriously.

Qu Qingyun sneered and said, "The amount of sacrifice has been strictly calculated and there has never been a mistake. How can you, an outsider, be so sure?"

The sacrifice was placed there by Qu Qingyun himself. Zhou Wen said there was something wrong with the sacrifice. Doesn't that mean that he, Qu Qingyun, made a mistake?

Xu Wen couldn't help but speak up for Zhou Wen: "Young Master Wen is not a person who speaks without purpose. If he says there is a problem, he must have his reasons."

"What's the logic? Could it be possible that the result of a plan made by so many of our experts could be wrong?" Qu Qingyun said disdainfully.

Professor Lei pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "Zhou Wen, why did you say the sacrifice can only last for an hour?"

"Professor Lei, the blood you use for blood sacrifice comes from poisonous bats, right?" Zhou Wen asked after thinking for a while.

"That's right. We used to use living sacrifices, but later we found that fresh blood would work just as well, because it's too difficult to catch live poisonous bats. So now we use blood as a representative. The amount used is precisely calculated and there are generally no mistakes." Professor Lei said.

"The quantity is correct, but there's something wrong with the blood. The bat blood is impure and mixed with other substances, so the duration it can last will be much shorter than you expected." Zhou Wen said, looking at Lu Yunxian and saying, "Yunxian, this can't be a coincidence. Investigate everyone involved in this matter carefully. Someone may have tampered with it."

"If you say there's a problem, then there's a problem?" Qu Qingyun still felt that Zhou Wen was being unreasonable just because Professor Lei didn't allow him to go to the Candle Dragon Temple.

"Zhou Wen, how do you know that bat blood is mixed with other things? This is a very serious problem." Professor Lei looked at Zhou Wen solemnly and asked.

"Professor Lei, it was Adjutant An who told you about the method of living sacrifice, right?" Zhou Wen said.

"Yes." Professor Lei nodded.

"I told Adjutant An this method." Zhou Wen said.

"You really dare to say anything. How many times have you been to the temple? You dare to say that you discovered the method of human sacrifice? Why don't you say that you also discovered a method to kill mythical creatures?" Qu Qingyun curled his lips.

"This is a serious matter, but the blood has been absorbed by the Ao Yin statue, and there is no way to test it now." Professor Lei looked at the Ao Yin statue, pondered for a moment, and said: "Safety first. Since Zhou Wen said there is a problem with the blood, then this research will be temporarily canceled."

"Teacher, why do you have to listen to the nonsense of an outsider like him? We have used it so many times without any problem. How come the blood has problems as soon as he comes? Isn't this nonsense? This sacrifice is wasted. It will take several days to get bat blood again. We won't have anything to do for these few days." Qu Qingyun said dissatisfiedly.

Professor Lei insisted, "Safety comes first. If there is any doubt, whether it is true or not, we cannot take any risks."

Since Professor Lei said so, what else could Qu Qingyun say? He could only sulk in his heart.

"Since you said the sacrificial vessel can last for about an hour, and we have given up our plan for today, let's go to the Candle Dragon Temple together. It will only take about ten minutes to go back and forth, and even if there is a problem with the blood, it will not be a problem." Professor Lei said to Zhou Wen again.

Zhou Wen thought to himself, "I'm going to kill Zhulong. If I take you with me, I'm afraid Zhulong will kill you all in one go."

"Professor Lei, you guys should go to the Qiongqi Temple for research. I can go to the Zhulong Temple by myself." Zhou Wen said to Professor Lei.

Qu Qingyun immediately said angrily: "You are the one who said that there was something wrong with the sacrifice and that you couldn't go. Now you are the one who is asked to go. Whether it is a god or a ghost, you are the only one who can do it."

Professor Lei also frowned and said, "If it's true as you said, the sacrifice can only keep the channel stable for less than an hour. Our preparations will take almost half an hour. There's no point in going."

Zhou Wen didn't say anything. He looked at the stone statue of Ao Yin and walked in front of it.

Everyone didn't know what he was going to do and looked at him. Qu Qingyun opened his mouth to say something, but before he could say anything, he saw Zhou Wen standing in front of the stone statue of Ao Yin, and the bamboo sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath.

Everyone was shocked. They had tried to destroy the Ao Yin stone statue before, but the result was heavy losses.

Inside this temple, the Ao Yin stone statue was blessed by some kind of power, and even if it was besieged by a large number of epic companion pets, it could swallow them in one bite.

If Zhou Wen alarmed the Ao Yin stone statue now, they would probably all die.

Some people wanted to open their mouths to stop Zhou Wen, but before they could open their mouths, the bamboo sword in Zhou Wen's hand flashed and returned to its sheath.

Boom!

Under Professor Lei's shocked gaze, the stone statue of Ao Yin actually split into two and collapsed to both sides.

"You probably won't need sacrifices in the short term." Zhou Wen said as he took two steps back.

I have only written one chapter, and will update the rest in the evening. Sorry.
