Chapter 329 Doll's Gift
When the baby saw Zhou Wen walking into the valley, he loosened his trouser legs with his little hands and skipped ahead to lead the way.
The valley was not deep. After walking for less than a mile, they reached the end. The baby pushed aside the grass in front of the mountain wall, revealing a hole half a person's height.
"If you want me to get in, I definitely won't." Zhou Wen thought to himself, but saw the doll get in by itself and disappeared.
Zhou Wen waited for a while, but the baby didn't come out. Instead, Li Xuan and Wang Lu followed the trail and followed.
"Zhou Wen, the kid ran away by himself. What are you doing here?" Li Xuan asked with some confusion when he saw Zhou Wen standing in front of the mountain wall and not fighting with any dimensional creatures.
"I saw the baby. He led me here and then crawled into this cave." Zhou Wen said, pointing to the cave in the grass.
Li Xuan was about to say something when he saw the baby sticking his head out of the hole. He seemed to be dragging something with his hands. He looked very tired and his little face was red from holding it in.
After pulling hard a few times, the doll finally dragged something out of the hole.
The three of them stared at the thing the doll was holding in its hands. It was a vine or root of some unknown plant. The doll was pulling the vine hard, and the vine was stretched straight, as if it was pulling something very heavy from behind.
Seeing this, Zhou Wen reached out and grabbed the vine to help pull the doll out. He was shocked when he started. He originally thought that the doll was weak, so it was difficult to pull it out. But when he pulled, it felt that it was indeed very heavy. He tried his best but could only pull it with difficulty.
The vine was pulled out more than one meter long, but no one could see what was inside. Wang Lu and Li Xuan also came up to help. The four of them finally pulled the dead vine out completely, and saw something tied to the other end of the dead vine.
"What is this?" Li Xuan looked at what they pulled out, but couldn't tell what it was, so he turned to look at the doll.
The baby babbled and gestured, but the three people still didn't understand what he meant.
Zhou Wen carefully examined the object tied with the dry vine. It looked like a large walnut, about the size of a football. Its appearance was like a walnut, but its texture was a metallic black-gray color.
"Is this an iron walnut?" Li Xuan knocked on it twice with the hilt of the Thunder God Sword. Hearing the sound of metal colliding, he looked at Wang Lu and asked, "Wang Lu, do you know what this is?"
Wang Lu also shook his head: "It looks like a walnut to me, but I've never heard of a walnut that looks like metal."
While the three were discussing it, Wawa pointed at Zhou Wen, then at Walnut, and babbled something.
"Are you going to give this thing to me?" Zhou Wen asked the baby. This was just his guess.
Seeing that Zhou Wen finally understood, Wawa nodded quickly.
"Okay." Although Zhou Wen didn't know what this thing was, it seemed to have some history. Since it was given for free, he might as well take it.
But this thing was too heavy, so Zhou Wen had to summon the mutant stone demon. Several people worked together to move the iron walnut onto its back, and then let the mutant stone demon carry the iron walnut back.
After the three people walked out of the valley, Wawa watched them from a distance and had no intention of following them.
"This little guy is quite interesting, but it's a creature from another dimension." Li Xuan shook his head.
Although there are people who raise extra-dimensional creatures now, extra-dimensional creatures are different from companion pets, and there is no way to completely control their behavior. Once they are allowed to enter human society, if problems occur, it will cause serious consequences.
Therefore, the Federation currently maintains an opposition to raising extra-dimensional creatures, but has not explicitly stipulated that it is not allowed.
Zhou Wen raised antelopes and birds secretly. Fortunately, other students and teachers always thought that the antelopes were brought from Laojun Mountain and were not aggressive, so they ignored Zhou Wen.
As for the little bird, most people thought it was Zhou Wen's companion pet.
When the three of them returned to school, it was almost dark. The main reason was that the iron walnut was too heavy, and Shi Chi could not run fast with it on his back, so he could only walk slowly.
After returning to the dormitory, Zhou Wen carefully took the iron walnut down and placed it in the living room. Then he took out the mysterious phone and shone a picture of the iron walnut to see if the mysterious phone could tell what it was.
However, Zhou Wen was soon disappointed. The mysterious phone did not respond, indicating that it was not something from another dimension, but was most likely a product of the Earth.
"What on earth is this thing?" Zhou Wen took a few photos and sent them to Wang Mingyuan. Wang Mingyuan is knowledgeable and maybe he knows what this thing is.
Wang Mingyuan was surprisingly free, and after a while, he replied to Zhou Wen's message.
"It's impossible to confirm it just by looking at the photo. Once I finish my research, you can send it to me and I'll help you study it."
"Teacher, how is your research going now?" Zhou Wen has never been clear about what Wang Mingyuan's research is. He only knows that he is studying something under the Longjing, most likely the white dragon.
Originally, Zhou Wen was a little worried that if Wang Mingyuan angered Bai Long, he would be killed by Bai Long.
However, after seeing the power of his note, Zhou Wen felt that his worries were unnecessary. People like Wang Mingyuan would not put themselves in danger so easily.
"It's going pretty smoothly, but we've encountered some minor problems, which we're currently trying to resolve." Wang Mingyuan sighed and said, "Currently, signs from all over the Federation indicate that the probability of extra-dimensional creatures breaking the ban is rapidly increasing. If the current rate continues, perhaps in another three to five years, the dimensional realm will no longer have any restraint on dimensional creatures, or will be very weak. By then, humanity's situation will be even more difficult than when the Sub-Dimensional Storm first broke out."
This was not the first time Zhou Wen had heard such words. An Sheng had said this to him before, but not as accurately as Wang Mingyuan's.
"Teacher, will the restraining effect of the dimensional field really become ineffective in three to five years?" Zhou Wen asked.
"It won't take more than ten years at most. By then, the constraints of the dimensional field will definitely become completely ineffective." Wang Mingyuan answered with certainty.
"Only ten years?" Zhou Wen felt that Wang Mingyuan was not the kind of person who spoke without a purpose. If he said ten years, then the possibility would be very high.
"In fact, ten years refers to the time when the dimensional field completely loses its restraint. During this period, the restraint of the dimensional field continues to weaken. Human time is not as long as ten years." Wang Mingyuan paused and suddenly asked Zhou Wen: "Xiao Wen, if you had to choose between pain and death, which one would you choose?"
