Chapter 664: The Iron Walnut that Was Bitten Through
"Do you mean to say that the Chu He I met in Huangquan City was a fake?" Zhou Wen said thoughtfully.
"No, on the contrary. I think the Chu He who went to Zhuolu was a fake." An Sheng said firmly, "From the information we obtained from the investigation, everything about the Chu He who went to Zhuolu was too perfect. But this makes me feel that something is wrong."
After a pause, An Sheng continued, "According to my research, Professor Chu He did study the Taklamakan Desert before, and he did initially decline the expedition's invitation, but later, for some unknown reason, he accepted. After that, he went to Zhuolu, but during his time there, he never contacted his family, which strikes me as somewhat unusual."
"In other words, someone really tampered with it?" Zhou Wen said.
"We can't be sure yet. If there really is someone behind this, then this force must be very powerful. The other party did it too cleanly, and there is no problem at all. If you hadn't met the dead Chu He in Huangquan City, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the Chu He who went to Zhuolu would actually be an imposter." An Sheng said.
"How are Chu He's wife and daughter doing?" Zhou Wen asked.
"After we went to investigate, their situation became very dangerous. In order to ensure their safety, I have brought them back." An Sheng said.
Hearing An Sheng's tone, Zhou Wen knew that An Sheng must have used some extraordinary means.
"If possible, take good care of them. As long as their requests are not unreasonable, try your best to satisfy them. I will be responsible for all the expenses." Zhou Wen said.
"Don't worry, they have been taken into the mansion by the Madam, and the Madam attaches great importance to them." An Sheng said.
"That's good." Zhou Wen knew that Ouyang Lan cared about the old principal as much as he did. Since Chu He's wife and daughter were with her, Ouyang Lan would definitely not let anything happen to them.
After ending the call with Ansheng, Zhou Wen was thinking about what else he could do.
"I'm not as good as Ansheng at investigating these things, so it's useless for me to go. If there really is someone behind this, they can do things so perfectly, and their influence must be considerable. Even if the truth is really investigated, it will take a powerful force to solve the problem. I'd better improve my own strength first." Zhou Wen felt that what he needed to do most now was to make himself stronger.
"Ding!" Just after clearing the Forge Temple copy, a Golden War God Halberd unexpectedly dropped.
"How easy is it to get this thing? This is the fourth one." Zhou Wen was speechless.
However, having an extra mythical companion pet is also a boost to combat power. If you can really get a few hundred Golden War God Halberds, you might be able to defeat the six major families of the entire federation with just the Golden War God Halberds.
Just as I was about to continue clearing the dungeon, my phone rang. I opened it and saw it was from Lord Emperor.
"I want to make a deal with you. Are you interested?"
"What deal?" Zhou Wen replied.
"I can let you get a companion pet that can help you defeat the Ancient Sword Immortal and Feng Bo, but in exchange, after you get the divine fruit, you have to give it to me." Lord Di sent another message.
"If I give you the divine fruit, what benefit will I get?" Zhou Wen asked.
"You have obtained a companion pet that can help you defeat the ancient sword immortal. Isn't that enough?" said Lord Di.
"What kind of companion pet is that?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Come to Chess Mountain and you will know after you get it." said Lord Di.
"You won't let me into Lutai again, will you?" Zhou Wen sent a message in a deliberately unwilling tone.
In fact, Zhou Wen also wanted to enter Lutai. In the game, he could only enter the ancient buildings on Lutai, but could not enter the interior of the platform below.
Now Zhou Wen really wants to know, apart from the gap in Lu Tai in reality, is there any other way to enter Lu Tai.
"How can you get any benefits without entering Lutai?" said Lord Di.
"Entering Lu Tai from underwater is really too disgusting. Is there no other way to get in?" Zhou Wen wanted to find out a way to enter Lu Tai, so that he would not have to make a deal with Lord Di anymore.
Who knew that Lord Di would remain tight-lipped and simply replied, "Don't worry, I'll make it easy for you to enter Lutai this time."
Zhou Wen asked a few more questions, but Lord Di didn't say anything. He just said that you will know when the time comes.
Zhou Wen was a little hesitant. Naturally, he wanted to defeat the companion pet of the Ancient Sword Immortal, but he was reluctant to take the risk in the real Lutai.
Lady Di is so mysterious that Zhou Wen doesn't want to have too much contact with her.
"Forget it, I'd better not go. Even without Lord Di's companion pet, I still have a chance to defeat the Ancient Sword Immortal." After watching the battle between Feng Bo and the Ancient Sword Immortal, Zhou Wen also studied it carefully.
Tyrant Behemoth still has a chance to defeat the Ancient Sword Immortal, but the prerequisite is that the power of the Ancient Sword Immortal's Wheel of Destiny cannot kill Tyrant Behemoth.
While I was thinking, I suddenly felt a fluctuation in the chaotic space.
"Could it be that the Explosive Demon has completed its evolution?" Zhou Wen hurriedly checked the chaotic space.
It turned out that the Explosive Demon had not evolved completely and was still in the egg state.
The fluctuation actually came from the iron walnut.
The little beast had been gnawing on the iron walnut for such a long time that a deep tooth mark was left on it. Looking down from the place where it was gnawing, the iron walnut seemed to have been gnawed through, with a crack as thin as a hair appearing, and a hint of white was revealed under the crack.
The fluctuation that Zhou Wen felt actually came from the iron walnut. The fluctuation seemed to be at the consciousness level, and Zhou Wen actually felt as if it was asking for help.
"Could it be that there is a dimensional creature inside this iron walnut?" Zhou Wen took the iron walnut out of the chaotic space.
The little beast lay on the iron walnut and gnawed it relentlessly, and it seemed that it would not stop until it had gnawed through the walnut.
Zhou Wen tried to pull it with his hands, but its claws held the iron walnut tightly and refused to let go.
Zhou Wen had no choice but to stun it first. After the little animal fainted, its little claws still held on tightly. Zhou Wen had no choice but to let it hold on to the iron walnut while he reached out to touch the crack that was gnawed by the little animal.
A white substance appeared in the crack. Zhou Wen touched it and immediately felt his vitality flowing into the iron walnut. The feeling was similar to hatching a companion egg.
"The thing inside the iron walnut is actually a companion egg?" Zhou Wen was surprised and let the iron walnut absorb his vitality.
