Chapter 1016 Mysterious Way of Death
After returning to his residence, Zhou Wen turned on his mobile phone and entered the Sunday Lies Maze again. He passed the card drawing test of the Witch of Fate and came to the garden again.
This time Zhou Wen looked very carefully. There was indeed no grave in the garden, let alone the tombstone and mask described by Frod.
There is only one big tree in the center of the garden, standing like a huge umbrella in the center of the garden.
"As expected, there are no tombs or masks in the game. I can only go to reality and see if they exist." Zhou Wen glanced at the big tree, but was reluctant to go back like this, so he summoned the Bronze Sparrow Sword and slashed at the big tree.
He wanted to dig up the tree and see if there really was a grave or something underneath.
The Bronze Sparrow Sword, with its terrifying flames, chopped down at the root of the tree. It only penetrated less than three centimeters before it couldn't cut any further, and the flames couldn't even set the tree on fire.
To be more precise, the trunks and leaves became brighter and more vibrant in the flames.
Zhou Wen summoned the Bronze Sparrow Sword back, and saw that a liquid like magma was flowing out from the wound on the tree trunk. After the liquid flowed out, it quickly cooled down and turned into ashes, and the scars on the tree trunk healed quickly.
"Is this a mythical plant creature?" Zhou Wen was thinking when he suddenly saw a bloody little man lying dead on the ground, and the game screen went black.
"How did he die?" Zhou Wen felt that he needed to find out the real situation in the garden. He always felt that this operation might not be so smooth.
After entering the garden again, Zhou Wen summoned the Tyrant Behemoth, wanting to try to pull out the tree.
The Tyrant Behemoth in the state of absolute strength can be regarded as the peak strength among the mythical levels. After it became huge, it half-crouched, held the tree trunk with both hands behind its back, and pulled it upwards with force.
The roots broke through the ground and the whole garden was shaking, but the big tree was not pulled out after all.
Seeing that Tyrant Behemoth was unable to do it himself, he summoned his companion pets including Candle Dragon, Black Dragon, and Diamond Bull to pull out the tree together.
Under the pull of the mythical companion pets, the roots of the big tree broke one by one, oozing out magma-like liquid, and then turned into ashes and disappeared, but it still could not be pulled out.
Suddenly, the bloody man fell to the ground again and the game screen went black again.
"Could it be that the liquid flowing out of the tree has some special power that will kill me?" In order to prove this judgment, Zhou Wen entered the garden again and did nothing. He just let the bloody man stand in the garden and wait slowly.
This was also to verify another hypothesis, because Zhou Wen discovered that the time of the bloody man's inexplicable deaths seemed to be very similar.
Time passed minute by minute, and when it was an hour after the bloody man entered the garden, he died again without any warning, and the game went black again.
This time should be quite close to the time of the last death.
Zhou Wen conducted many more experiments, trying to figure out what was going on.
Things were more complicated than Zhou Wen had imagined, and different results appeared in several experiments.
Gaiman sent someone to invite Zhou Wen to participate in the running-in training, but Zhou Wen refused.
If it was before, Zhou Wen would still be willing to cooperate, but now, he is very clear that he must find out as soon as possible why the bloody man died, otherwise it is very likely that no one will survive this operation.
Zhou Wen didn't attend on the first day, and Gaiman didn't say anything, but he didn't go on the second and third days either. Not to mention Gaiman, even the local tyrants had a lot of opinions about Zhou Wen.
"What's that? You think you're so great just because you have some strength? You don't even bother to associate with us?" People in the North District are naturally irritable, so Zhou Wen's behavior naturally made them very unhappy.
"I'm Wang Mingyuan's disciple. I have connections above me. Even if extra-dimensional creatures occupy the Earth, I can still live well. Can you? If not, just shut up." Another local tyrant teased.
"He doesn't come to training, but he has the final say. What if he gives random orders? Does he want us to obey him and die? Mr. Gaiman, do you think this is appropriate?" Someone questioned Gaiman.
"Zhou Wen may have some things to deal with. He should come after they are resolved. Everyone, please be patient." While comforting everyone, Gaiman secretly found Lan Shi, Sadie and others and asked them to go and see what was going on with Zhou Wen.
Although Lanshi and Sadie both felt that Zhou Wen was not an arrogant person, they were very confused by the fact that Zhou Wen did not even come to participate in the running-in training, so they went to Zhou Wen's residence.
Before they reached Zhou Wen, they met Wang Lu, who was holding Ya'er and carrying bags of snacks.
Wang Lu did not participate in the training either. However, because Wang Lu was only responsible for drawing cards from the Witch of Fate, and could only draw cards by herself, she did not need to cooperate with others. Moreover, she had no decision-making power, so no one asked her to participate in the running-in training.
"Wang Lu, why did you buy so many snacks? Didn't I ask someone to arrange a chef for you? Is the food not to your taste?" Sadie asked in confusion.
"No, the food is good, but Zhou Wen is in his room... practicing... and doesn't want to go out, so he asked me to buy him some food and drinks." Wang Lu said.
"I see. What kind of training is the coach doing?" Sadie asked.
“This… I’m not too sure…” Wang Lu looked slightly unhappy.
Zhou Wen was just playing games in the room, there was no such thing as cultivation. She just felt that it was not good to say that Zhou Wen was playing games, so she temporarily changed to cultivation.
"We naturally trust Zhou Wen, but others have many doubts. Besides, it will be more beneficial for the battle if we can get used to each other and become familiar with each other's abilities. We still hope that he can participate in the training." Lan Shi said.
As they talked, several people went to Zhou Wen's room together.
When they reached the door, Wang Lu knocked and said, "Zhou Wen, open the door. I came here to buy something. Lan Shi and the others are here to see you too."
Wang Lu said this because he naturally hoped that Zhou Wen would be more restrained and not let Lan Shi and the others see him playing games.
But when Zhou Wen came to open the door, he was still playing with his mobile phone in his hand.
Because the situation in the maze of lies was unexpectedly complicated, he had not yet been able to completely solve the problem.
Now Zhou Wen must solve the problem before the team enters the maze of lies, otherwise everyone who enters will die except him.
