Chapter 324 Sacrifice
"Asheng, after thinking about it, I think the problem might be with the Aoyin stone statue. You should ask someone to check the statue carefully again, but be careful. I always feel that it is a bit weird for the statue to appear in that place, and it may be fatal." Zhou Wen couldn't tell Ansheng directly about his discovery in the game, so he could only tell Ansheng tactfully.
"Okay, I'll send someone to check the statue." An Sheng responded seriously.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wen entered the game again and continued to try to attack the stone statue. This time, Zhou Wen behaved well and stayed far away from the statue. He blew a gust of Taiyin Wind directly at it.
The Taiyin wind blew on the stone statue, and the statue actually opened its mouth and swallowed the Taiyin wind. The terrifying Taiyin wind was swallowed by it as if it was poured into a bottomless pit.
"Even Taiyin Wind is useless?" Zhou Wen frowned slightly. He knew that if he wanted to deal with the stone statue that might be Ao Yin, he might not be able to defeat it with force. He had to think of some way.
"I remember that among the ghost stories my grandfather told me when I was a child, there were many stories about worshiping ghosts and gods. In ancient times, humans believed in the existence of ghosts and gods, so there were often rituals to worship ghosts and gods. Some ignorant and evil people would even sacrifice living people to ghosts and gods. Then the statue of Ao Yin is placed there. Does that mean we need to offer sacrifices to it?" Although Zhou Wen thought this idea was a bit far-fetched, he had no other choice but to give it a try.
Zhou Wen did not have the conditions to sacrifice a living person to the stone statue, and even if he had the conditions, he would not do it. So after thinking about it, Zhou Wen caught two poisonous bats, brought them to the stone statue of Ao Yin, and presented them to Ao Yin as offerings.
However, when Zhou Wen brought the two poisonous bats to the mouth of the stone statue, the statue did not react at all.
"Do we really need to use a living person?" Zhou Wen thought about it, smashed the poisonous bat's head, and then sent it in front of the stone statue.
This time the stone statue actually reacted. It opened its mouth and sucked, and the two poisonous bats with their heads cut open were swallowed by it.
After swallowing the poisonous bat, Zhou Wen felt that the passages on both sides seemed to be a little different, but he couldn't tell what was different. Zhou Wen hurriedly ran to the passage on the left.
After stepping into the passage, I found that it was still a square stone passage. It did not become round, and there were no sharp crystals. I couldn't help but feel happy and rushed into the passage quickly.
The passage was not long, only about a hundred meters, and Zhou Wen soon reached the end. He found a stone door there. When he pushed the stone door open, he found a palace inside.
Before Zhou Wen could take a closer look at the palace, a terrifying dimensional creature pounced on him. Zhou Wen only had time to see its shadow clearly before the bloody creature was slapped to death.
Zhou Wen only saw a monster that looked like a tiger or a wolf, with two tails on its back and black flames emitting from its body. Even with his ghostly steps, he was unable to dodge the monster's attack. Even if that thing was not mythical, it was probably not much different.
Zhou Wen did not give up. He came to the stone statue again and sacrificed two poisonous bats to Ao Yin. Then he turned and went to the right passage. Sure enough, the right passage became safe and those strange text monsters did not appear.
At the end of the right passage was also a palace. As soon as Zhou Wen opened the door, he saw a huge dragon-like snake standing with its head held high, spewing black smoke at the bloody man.
Zhou Wen quickly summoned the remaining purple bell, inhaled the black smoke, and then shook the bell, spraying the black smoke back at the monster snake.
The black smoke like a tide instantly submerged the huge body of the monster snake. The monster snake opened its mouth and inhaled, but the black smoke was sucked back in and could not cause any harm to it.
Then Zhou Wen saw black air rising from the strange snake, as if an ancient demon was shrouding it.
Zhou Wen secretly cried out in alarm and turned around to escape, but the big snake's eyes turned into mirrors, reflecting the figure of the bloody man in its eyes.
The bloody man didn't run out for long before he fell to the ground and died. The game screen went black again. Zhou Wen didn't know how the bloody man died.
"Could the creatures in the two palaces all be mythical?" Zhou Wen was secretly shocked. Just as he was about to explore further, he heard his cell phone ringing.
When Zhou Wen saw that it was An Sheng calling, he immediately answered the call.
"Master Wen, just as you expected, there is something wrong with the stone statue." An Sheng said directly.
"What did you find?" Zhou Wen asked.
"When we started checking, everything was normal with the statue and we didn't find any problems. Later, an expert tried to put a robotic arm into the statue's mouth to check, but was swallowed by the statue. After that, the passages on both sides changed briefly, and our people were able to enter the passages without disappearing. But the time was very short, less than an hour, and the passages returned to normal." An Sheng said calmly.
But Zhou Wen could tell that this time the sacrifice would be huge.
"It seems that the stone statue needs a sacrifice. Why not try using a dimensional creature as a sacrifice? If that is really Ao Yin, he might be interested in the brain of the dimensional creature." Zhou Wen said.
"I'll have someone try it right away." An Sheng paused and continued, "We found palace gates at the end of both passages, but I didn't ask them to open the palace. What do you think, Master Wen?"
"Ao Yin, who guards the passage, is already so terrifying. There must be powerful dimensional creatures guarding the palace, maybe mythical creatures. I think it's better to be careful and don't open the palace door easily." Zhou Wen could only remind him like this. He couldn't say that he had already entered the palace in the game, and there were terrifying creatures inside that were suspected to be mythical creatures, right?
"I think so too. If there really are mythical creatures in there, we won't be able to deal with them. We can only consult the commander-in-chief." An Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Master Wen, it's thanks to you that we have made such rapid progress this time. It's a pity that you are still too young. In a few years, if you can advance to the epic level, we will have the opportunity to fight side by side."
"I have no plans to join the army. After I graduate, I plan to open a crystal shop to make a living." Zhou Wen said.
"You're not that kind of person." An Sheng didn't wait for Zhou Wen to say anything else and continued, "I'm going to hang up first. I still have to report the progress here to the governor."
"Asheng, if you are not sure, don't enter the palace behind the passage. I have a feeling there will be very terrifying dimensional creatures in there." Zhou Wen reminded again.
"Don't worry." Ah Sheng said this and hung up the phone. It was unknown whether he took Zhou Wen's words to heart.
