Chapter 1672 Charging
As soon as the demon baby swallowed the purple crystal, the gray-purple pupils immediately deepened rapidly and turned into dark purple in a moment.
Before Zhou Wen could take a closer look, the demon baby automatically turned into a dark light and returned to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen felt that the demon baby's consciousness was gradually becoming blurred. Zhou Wen had had this experience many times. It was a sign of impending evolution.
He reached out and picked up the white object from the ground, holding it in his hand and observing it.
Zhou Wen had definitely never seen this thing before, but its shell material was almost exactly the same as Zhou Wen's mysterious mobile phone. There was no difference in color or texture.
Zhou Wen took out the mysterious phone and wanted to compare them to see if they were made of the same material. Unexpectedly, the moment the mysterious phone touched the white object, the string attached to the white object suddenly became attracted by a magnet and stuck to the end of the mysterious phone.
The screen of the mysterious phone automatically lit up, and a picture of a charging battery appeared.
"This..." Zhou Wen was so surprised that he was speechless for a moment. He looked towards the ancient well, his expression changing constantly, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Ever since he got the mysterious phone, he has never charged it. The mysterious phone doesn't need to be charged, and it doesn't even have a charging port.
But now this thing is actually charging, and the battery icon on the screen shows the battery percentage, and the current battery level is only 1%.
Zhou Wen didn't know the difference between the mysterious phone being charged and not being charged, and this wasn't what he was most concerned about right now.
Zhou Wen's father explained the origin of this mobile phone very clearly. It was dug out by Zhou Wen's grandfather from an ancient well in the ancient city of Guide, but Zhou Wen's father was not sure which ancient well it was.
Judging from the current situation, that thing is clearly something that comes with a mobile phone, and it's most likely a power bank or something like that.
"Could it be that the mysterious mobile phone was dug out from this ancient well?" Countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Wen's mind. Looking at the mobile phone that was charging, his expression became more complicated.
He thought of a possibility. If the mysterious cell phone was really dug out from this ancient well, then could the skeleton just now be the remains of his grandfather?
Zhou Wen had personally witnessed the power of the necklace. Even with the demon baby's strength, it was difficult to hurt it in the slightest.
Zhou Wen could probably estimate that his sword would not be able to damage the necklace, but when he approached the necklace, the necklace opened automatically.
And when the skeleton disappeared, it seemed as if he loosened his hand, causing the power bank-like thing to fall down, and there was also the throbbing feeling in his heart when he was about to chop it down.
These abnormal situations made Zhou Wen wonder if the skeleton did it on purpose. If the skeleton was really the remains of Zhou Wen’s grandfather, then everything could be explained.
But Zhou Wen recalled again. His grandfather was not missing, nor was he buried. He was cremated when he died. The young Zhou Wen even attended the funeral. It should be impossible that there were any remains left.
"What is going on?" Zhou Wen couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. The skeleton had already disappeared, and it was impossible to find any clues.
Looking at the phone that was charging, Zhou Wen had no choice but to wait for a while to see what changes would happen to the phone after it was charged. Maybe there would be some clues then.
"Is it not just a coincidence that the mysterious cell phone was dug out from the ancient city?" Seeing that the battery level of the cell phone had just jumped from 1% to 2%, Zhou Wen picked up the cell phone and tried to operate it, only to find that the cell phone was now completely inoperable and remained stuck on the charging screen.
"Old Zhou, what are you doing?" Li Xuan shouted and pushed the door open.
There have been a lot of things happening in Guide Ancient City recently. Zhou Wen is just a hands-off boss, and most of the work is done by Li Xuan coordinating with various parties.
"When did you come?" Zhou Wen asked Li Xuan.
"I just arrived not long ago, what's wrong?" Li Xuan looked at Zhou Wen puzzledly.
"Did you hear any sound or see anything?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"Are you talking about your yard? Did a spy break in? I didn't hear or see anything." Li Xuan immediately looked around the yard vigilantly, but found nothing.
"No, there was a light bursting out of this ancient well just now, didn't you see it?" Zhou Wen recounted the incident of the skeleton appearing, but did not mention the matter of the power bank, which was really difficult to explain.
"According to what you said, we should be able to see it from a long distance, but I didn't see anything just now. This Guide Ancient City is indeed a bit strange. We occupy this place, and we don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. I hope nothing strange will happen." Li Xuan paused and continued, "There is something I need to discuss with you. The Ertian Feixian Palace overseas has contacted us and wants to relocate to our Guide Ancient City. What do you think?"
Zhou Wen thought for a moment before remembering Qi Yakai. He paused and said, "Although the Ertian Feixian Palace founded by Qi Yakai is an overseas force, it has never had any major conflicts with the inland areas and has always maintained neutrality. Moreover, in this era, whether overseas or inland, they are all part of the human race. We are in need of people now. If there are no unresolved grievances, we might as well take them in."
"I thought so too, but there is a small trouble now." Li Xuan said with a smile.
"What little trouble?" Zhou Wen asked with a frown.
"Ertian Feixian Palace wanted to move inland some time ago. The six major families and some big forces were very interested in them. They had contact with them and offered good conditions. Even I was tempted by those conditions, but for some reason, they rejected them all and took the initiative to contact us, wanting to move to our place. The conditions they proposed were far less than those offered to them by the six major families." Li Xuan paused here to give Zhou Wen time to digest.
"Are you suspicious of their motives?" Zhou Wen asked.
"A little bit, but that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the God's Family seems determined to acquire the Ertian Feixian Palace. Not only have they actively contacted the Ertian Feixian Palace again and offered better conditions, they have also used their connections to tactfully express their hope that we can reject the Ertian Feixian Palace." Li Xuan recounted the whole story.
"Who did they look for?" Zhou Wen said after thinking for a while.
"Your family." Li Xuan didn't say it directly.
"Settlement home?" Zhou Wen was slightly stunned.
"Well, but Brother Sheng contacted me and told me not to worry too much. If necessary, we can just recruit the people from Ertian Feixian Palace." Li Xuan said again.
After hearing this, Zhou Wen roughly understood that the God's Family must have put pressure on the An family.
