Chapter 837: Magic Stone Regeneration
Two days later, Zhou Wen took the Tyrant Behemoth back, and Zhang Xiao did not come to find him. It was a tacit understanding.
When the Tyrant Behemoth disappeared, Zhang Xiao was very relieved. If he had really kept it for a month, he would have really gone bankrupt.
Zhou Wen had been waiting for Liuyun, but before Liuyun came, Zhang Chunqiu came to find him in a hurry.
"Zhou Wen, there's a problem at the Demon Tomb. Can you lend me your Tyrant Behemoth again?" Zhang Chunqiu looked serious, and it seemed that the matter was really serious.
"What happened?" Because the situation was serious, Zhou Wen needed to ask clearly. He couldn't take risks with Tyrant Behemoth.
"The magic stones that grew out of the Demon Tomb before have all been eaten by the Tyrant Behemoth. Nothing has happened in the past few days, but just now, the magic stones began to grow again, and the growth rate is faster than before. I want to borrow your Tyrant Behemoth to try eating them again." Zhang Chunqiu said.
"Would it be convenient for me to go with you?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Of course, come with me." Zhang Chunqiu didn't say much, just turned around and led the way.
After leaving the town, Zhang Chunqiu summoned a crane and took Zhou Wen on the road.
Originally, Zhou Wen thought that the area around Longhu Mountain was a fairyland, but after arriving at the Demon Tomb, he realized that this was not entirely the case.
There is a place in the mountains where all the flowers have withered and nothing lives. Even in broad daylight, when the sun is shining directly down, it still makes people feel very eerie.
In that inconspicuous place, Zhou Wen saw a small grave. It was not very big. If Zhang Chunqiu had not said that it was a demon's grave, Zhou Wen would never have thought that this small grave, which did not even have a tombstone, had such a great origin.
The only strange thing about this grave is its material. Ordinary people's graves are made of earth, while more advanced ones are made of stone or bricks, and even more advanced ones are made of jade or even metal.
Although this grave is made of stone, the stone was not artificially carved. It seems as if the grave was originally made of stone.
A grayish-white stone seemed to emit a gloomy aura, and near the grave, large tracts of rock also had the same texture, which was out of tune with the mountain walls next to it, as if a layer of frosty gray was spread across the valley.
In the eight directions of the tomb, there is a man-made stone platform. On each stone platform, there is a member of the Zhang family sitting, monitoring the demon tomb from different angles.
Zhang Chunqiu brought Zhou Wen to one of the stone platforms and pointed at the gray-white magic stone next to it. He said, "Please ask Tyrant Behemoth to eat the gray-white magic stone over there."
"Okay." Zhou Wen summoned the Tyrant Behemoth and asked it to eat the gray-white magic stones.
According to Zhang Chunqiu, the Tyrant Behemoth stopped after eating a part of the magic stone.
"Okay, now we have to wait for the results. If you are free, you can stay and take a look. If you don't have time, I can also ask someone to send you out first." Zhang Chunqiu said.
"If it's convenient, I'd like to stay and take a look." Zhou Wen also wanted to see what was so strange about the demon tomb that the Zhang family had guarded for so many years.
"You can stay, but remember not to leave this stage, especially at night." Zhang Chunqiu repeatedly reminded Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen naturally wouldn't joke about his own life, so he agreed without hesitation.
The magic stone seemed unable to grow back for a while. The last time the Tyrant Behemoth ate the magic stone, it had been several days before it grew back. It shouldn't grow back so quickly now.
Zhou Wen did not stare at that place, but was observing the demon tomb, trying to see if he could find the small hand pattern. After searching the area around the demon tomb carefully, Zhou Wen's eyes suddenly lit up.
Just behind the small grave, Zhou Wen used his listening skills to see a small hand pattern carved on the stone of the grave. Because the stone was not very flat, it looked like a natural pattern. However, Zhou Wen had seen too many small hand patterns and would definitely not make a mistake.
But Zhou Wen was in trouble again. Although he had the little hand pattern, Zhang Chunqiu had just repeatedly reminded him not to leave the stage. How could he walk to the devil's tomb to take a picture?
Moreover, the Zhang family had already made an exception by allowing him to come here, and it was impossible for them to let him take pictures with his mobile phone.
"How can I take a picture?" Zhou Wen thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with any good idea.
Just when I was worrying, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "It's growing...it's growing again..."
Zhou Wen was shocked and looked quickly at the magic stone that had just been gnawed out by the Tyrant Behemoth. He saw that magic stones had appeared again on the ground where the magic stones had been gnawed clean.
The magic stones were growing rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
It was the first time Zhou Wen had seen that stones could actually grow.
"This time the regrowth time was even shorter. It only took half an hour for it to grow back." A person from the Zhang family said worriedly.
"Has this happened before?" Zhou Wen asked.
The Zhang family has been guarding the Demon Tomb for so many years, they should have found a way to deal with the Demon Stone before.
Zhang Chunqiu shook his head and said, "The magic stone used to grow very slowly. After the dimensional storm, the growth rate gradually accelerated. Especially in the past few months, the growth rate has been much faster than before. For so many years, the magic stone only spread less than ten meters around the demon tomb. Look at it now. In just a few months, it's almost a hundred meters."
"In other words, you have never dealt with magic stones before?" Zhou Wen was a little bit unbelieving.
"Of course there are, but they only took away a small portion of the magic stones and took them back for research. They didn't dig out the magic stones on such a large scale, and there has never been a similar situation before. Although the places where the magic stones were dug out will still grow back, the speed is very slow, and it has never been so fast." Zhang Chunqiu said.
"What is that?" Suddenly, someone pointed at the place where the magic stone grew and shouted in surprise.
Zhou Wen and Zhang Chunqiu looked over and saw that where the magic stone grew, a pattern of a human face had emerged. The pattern grew on the magic stone, like a person embedded in the magic stone, which looked very strange.
"Has it happened before?" Zhou Wen asked Zhang Chunqiu again.
This time, Zhang Chunqiu simply shook his head, his gaze fixed on the face on the magic stone. He gave the order, "Everyone, enter emergency alert."
Everyone's nerves were on edge. Everyone in the Zhang family knew how terrifying the Demonic Tomb was. Zhou Wen, the only one who had no idea about the Demonic Tomb, also had a bad premonition in his heart.
