Chapter 1304: Strange Guardian Cocoon
For some unknown reason, the monkey that could eat a dragon alive just stared at Zhou Wen and didn't take any action.
Although they didn't move, Zhou Wen was still uneasy. He felt like a baby who had fallen into a tiger's den and was being watched by a group of tigers.
The demon killer was also trembling with fear. Although he said he was fearless, he was currently only at the fear level. There was no comparison between him and the four monkeys.
Only the ignorant are fearless. The more you understand and know, the more awe you will have in your heart.
Sha Mo was obviously a wise man, he knew how terrifying these four ferocious monkeys were.
"Can you recognize what race the guardian cocoon belongs to?" Zhou Wen asked the demon killer again.
The demon killer was slightly startled. After Zhou Wen's reminder, he discovered that there was a guardian cocoon inside the stone tool.
"Strange!" The demon killer didn't dare to get closer to see, but just peeked at it from below, his expression becoming a little confused.
"What's strange?" Zhou Wen asked.
The Demon Killer frowned and said, "That Guardian Cocoon is a bit strange. Generally speaking, after being transported to Earth, unhatched Guardian Cocoons are sent to a dimension that matches their attributes for incubation. The power of this dimension will have a certain impact on the Guardian Cocoon, causing some changes in the Guardian's growth. However, even so, it will not change its basic attributes."
"For example, if a guardian is created using angelic genes, then no matter how it mutates, whether it becomes a fire angel or an ice angel, it will always be an angel." The Demon Slayer continued with a strange look, "But this companion pet is a little different."
"What's the difference? Do you know what race the guardian inside the guardian cocoon is?" Zhou Wen must have been peeking into the guardian cocoon, but he could see nothing.
The Demon Killer shook his head slightly: "I can't see what's inside the Guardian Cocoon either, but the power on the Guardian Cocoon is obviously incompatible with the power attributes of this dimension. Don't you notice?"
Zhou Wen had felt that the Guardian Cocoon was a bit strange before, but he had been thinking about how to escape without giving it too much thought. Now, after being reminded by the Killing Demon, he took a look at it again and found that the properties of the Guardian Cocoon were indeed somewhat incompatible with the properties of this dimensional field.
Although it is impossible to tell what the properties of the Guardian Cocoon are, it is repelling the vital energy in the dimensional field.
The Demon Slayer looked at the four apes and continued, "Generally speaking, dimensional creatures that stay near the Guardian Cocoon do so of their own accord. However, these four seem to have been locked in here, forced to guard the Guardian Cocoon. There must be a special reason for a situation like this."
"What could be the reason?" Zhou Wen didn't know much about guardians, so he could only ask the guardian Sha Mo.
The Demon Killer shook his head. "There could be many reasons. Perhaps someone doesn't want the Guardian Cocoon to hatch, so they locked it in a place that's incompatible with the Guardian Cocoon's properties to prevent it from hatching. The role of these four apes might be to prevent anyone from contracting the Guardian Cocoon or taking it away. It's also possible that the Guardian Cocoon itself has some special features that allow it to hatch only in this place. Or maybe someone found the Guardian Cocoon somewhere else and moved it here..."
Sha Mo mentioned several possibilities, but he couldn't be sure which one it was.
"To imprison four Calamity-level creatures and place the Guardian's Cocoon in such a place, with such strength, it's impossible for him to be human, right?" Zhou Wen said thoughtfully.
"That's possible. During the ancient wars, many humans reached the disaster level by combining with guardians. Some even..." The Demon Killer suddenly seemed to realize something and suddenly kept silent.
"There's even an apocalyptic level?" Zhou Wen looked at the Demon Killer with great interest. He had previously thought that this Demon Killer might not really be simply arrogant. Now it seemed that he at least knew a lot of things and might very well be a powerful guardian who survived from ancient times.
"I heard there is." Sha Mo's words were obviously perfunctory.
Seeing that Sha Mo had no intention of continuing, Zhou Wen did not ask any more questions and instead asked, "Then do you think that this guardian cocoon could be a guardian that survived from ancient times?"
"Unlikely. This is probably a Guardian cocoon that never hatched." After a pause, the Demon Killer continued, "But it's possible it's a relic from that time. Only in this kind of environment could it survive such a long time without hatching."
"How far back are you talking about the ancient times?" Zhou Wen asked.
"For you humans, that was the prehistoric mythological era." The demon killer suddenly frowned and said, "Strange!"
"What's wrong? Did you find anything special?" Zhou Wen didn't find anything unusual. The four ferocious monkeys were still just staring at them without any special movements.
"It's strange because there's nothing special about it. No matter which possibility it is, these four guys were locked here to guard this guardian cocoon. We've been here for so long, but they haven't reacted at all. This is too strange." said the Demon Killer.
Zhou Wen had found it strange before. They were definitely here to protect the Guardian Cocoon, but they turned a blind eye to him, the intruder. This was obviously a bit strange.
"Could it be that he has been suppressed for too long and has lost the ability to attack?" The Killing Demon pondered.
"I just saw with my own eyes that golden monkey. With one hand, it grabbed a dragon from the sea and sucked it out, then swallowed it alive." Zhou Wen denied the demon killer's statement.
"That's strange. Why don't they attack us? It doesn't make sense." The Demon Killer frowned.
"Could it be that they are restricted by some forbidden power and cannot attack the creatures on the turtle shell?" Zhou Wen said.
"Impossible, no one would be so stupid, unless..." The Demon Killer seemed to have thought of some possibility, but was still unsure.
"Unless what?" Zhou Wen asked.
"They won't attack unless there is someone among us who can hatch the guardian's cocoon and meets the conditions of the person who designed all this." The person that the demon killer was referring to was naturally Zhou Wen. He was the only human here.
"No way?" Zhou Wen was a little bit unconvinced that there would be such a coincidence that he just happened to meet the conditions for hatching the guardian's cocoon.
"Besides this, I really can't think of any other possibilities." The more Sha Mo thought about it, the more he felt that this was true, so he said to Zhou Wen, "You don't have to belittle yourself. To be able to gain the master's favor, you are not far behind. Maybe it is really possible."
Zhou Wen felt something was wrong when he heard Sha Mo's words. It seemed like he was praising him, but something was not right.
