Chapter 637 Weird Street
Zhou Wen tried to summon the six-winged guardian dragon, but he couldn't summon it. It seemed that it was restricted by some kind of rule.
The several companion pets summoned before have automatically turned into tattoos and cannot be summoned anymore. Only Di Ting still maintains the earring state and has not been sealed.
"Can you summon your companion pet?" Zhou Wen asked Liuyun.
"No, all companion pets cannot be summoned." Liuyun shook his head solemnly.
Without a companion pet, he and Zhou Wen were just epic level, and many problems they encountered were difficult to solve.
Liuyun said this and took two steps, wanting to try to use the Qi technique, but after taking only one step, he found something strange happening under his feet and stopped immediately.
Zhou Wen also looked at the ground under Liuyun's feet, which was a stone slab.
In fact, the entire street is paved with stone slabs, and each stone slab has the same specifications, which is a rectangular stone slab of about 40 cm by 60 cm.
At a glance, the whole street is made of cobblestones. At the end of the cobblestone road is a stone staircase, and above the stone staircase is a strange building that looks like a monument.
Just now, Liuyun took a step, and the stone slab he stepped on suddenly lit up, emitting a faint light, making the originally blue-gray stone slab become as crystal clear as jade.
And on this stone slab, the faint light condensed into a number, three hundred and sixty-four.
"Do you feel anything wrong with your body?" Zhou Wen asked Liuyun.
Liuyun shook his head: "Except for not being able to summon a companion pet, there are no other problems. I'll take another step and see."
As he spoke, Liuyun took another step. With this step, his foot stepped on the stone slab next to him. After he left the previous stone slab, the glow on that stone slab suddenly disappeared, and the stone slab he was standing on now glowed faintly, and numbers appeared on it.
Only this time it's not three hundred and sixty-four, but three hundred and sixty-three.
"It seems that the number will decrease by one every time you move a square, but what does this number mean?" Liuyun frowned.
"I have a very bad feeling. Those people are standing motionless on the street. The stone slabs under their feet are also glowing. I think it's not that they don't want to move, but they dare not move because of these numbers." Zhou Wen said, and he took a step forward. He wanted to verify his guess.
The city gate was closed. Zhou Wen took a step forward and stepped onto the stone slab in front of him. Sure enough, the stone slab lit up and a number appeared on it: three hundred and sixty-five.
"This is unfair. Why is it that after I took one step, the remaining number is three hundred and sixty-four, but you took one more step than me?" Liuyun said.
Zhou Wen ignored him and took another step back. The stone slab under his feet lit up, and the number turned into three hundred and sixty-four.
"I guess no matter which direction we go now, the number will decrease by one. That ghost face just now said that we can't leave the ground with our feet, otherwise we will be killed. In other words, we can't fly over there, we can only walk on the stone road."
Zhou Wen glanced at the person in front of him and said, "Do you think the number on the stone tablet represents the number of steps we have left? If we run out of steps, something very bad might happen."
"Now it seems that it is indeed very possible." Liuyun agreed with Zhou Wen's opinion. After thinking for a while, he said, "What will happen if we don't leave and just stand here?"
"I don't know, but I think the dimensional creatures in this city won't let us stand there forever." Zhou Wen answered very straightforwardly. Everything in Huangquan City was too weird, and he couldn't guess what would happen next.
The two of them stood there, looking at each other, and no one dared to move.
"It's not a good idea for us to just stand here. Why don't we go over and ask the people in front to find out what's going on here?" Liuyun said to Zhou Wen.
"Okay, go ahead and ask." Zhou Wen replied.
Liuyun meant for Zhou Wen to go, but Zhou Wen meant for him to go, and in the end, neither of them moved.
Zhou Wen was not idle. He tried to summon his companion pets one by one to see if there were any other companion pets that would respond to his call besides Di Ting.
In a place like this, having one more companion pet to use means one more hope of survival.
"Zhulong...no response...Golden Overlord Sword...no response...Demon Armor Tiger Soul General...no response...Demon Infant..." Zhou Wen was delighted that the Demon Infant actually responded to him. He could feel the Demon Infant's consciousness, waiting for his call.
"The demon baby can be summoned!" Zhou Wen did not summon the demon baby. He wanted to see the situation first.
He tried all his companion pets, but only Di Ting and Demon Infant responded to him, while Tyrant Behemoth did not move at all.
After trying out the companion pet, Zhou Wen began to switch to his own Qi Jue, wanting to try whether his fate and soul would be useful here.
The fate and soul are both normal and have not been affected. Except for not being able to summon a companion pet, everything else is the same as usual.
When Zhou Wen switched to the Dao Jue, the Jade Infant actually opened its eyes and emanated a precious light from its body. The terrifying forbidden power seeped into its body like a river in the sky. In just a few seconds, the Jade Infant was nearly blown up by the terrifying forbidden power. Zhou Wen was so frightened that he quickly closed the Gods Avoidance Soul.
"What a terrifying forbidden power!" At that moment, Zhou Wen felt that the companion pets in his body had regained contact.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for the gods to maintain their avoidance for a long time. Such a short time is basically impossible to use for combat.
"The forbidden power of Huangquan City is even more terrifying than the forbidden power on Jade Emperor Peak. No wonder no one who encountered Huangquan City was able to return. I'm afraid this time it's really a life-or-death situation." Zhou Wen was thinking.
But there is too little useful information at present, and he has no idea how to leave Huangquan City.
Liuyun opened his mouth and shouted loudly, trying to alert the people on the street. Liuyun's voice was very loud. With his volume, even those standing outside the city should be able to hear it.
But the people on the street seemed to have completely ignored his voice and ignored them, continuing to do their own things.
"Stop shouting, they probably can't hear you." Zhou Wen said.
"How do you know they can't hear it?" Liuyun asked.
"Didn't you notice? We have been standing here for so long. Have you heard any sound on this street?" Zhou Wen said, pointing to the long street.
Liuyun was slightly startled, and then he realized that this street was indeed eerily quiet. Apart from the sounds made by him and Zhou Wen, there seemed to be no sound at all.
Although people on the street were not walking, some of them were moving around. You could even see them opening their mouths to speak, but no sound could be heard. It was as if the whole street was set to silent mode.
That’s all I have for today. Just treat it as a day off. I’ll resume updating as normal tomorrow. Did you guys have a good Mid-Autumn Festival?
