322 Stone Statue (1/2)

The originally squarish tunnel suddenly changed. At this moment, the tunnel became oval-shaped, and the tunnel curved. There were also many glowing horn crystals on the stone wall that resembled rows of sharp teeth.

When he turned his head, he realized that the T-junction and the stone statue were nowhere to be seen. Behind him was the same oval-shaped tunnel embedded with many sharp crystals with no end in sight.

Ghost Bride floated over from somewhere unknown to Zhou Wen, but the other Companion Beasts had vanished.

Just as Zhou Wen was feeling puzzled, he suddenly felt the tunnel shake violently. Instead of calling it shaking, the entire tunnel was shrinking. The inner walls of the tunnel even spun. The sharp crystals became a terrifying weapon akin to a grinder due to the spinning.

As the tunnel constricted, the space that the blood-colored avatar could stand on decreased. Zhou Wen hurriedly summoned the Overlord Spear, hoping to tear open a huge hole into the shrinking tunnel.

However, when the Overlord Spear thrust out, it sunk all the way into the handle. It failed to tear open the stone wall to another space. It was unknown how thick the stone wall was.

The spinning stone wall made Zhou Wen lose his grip of the Overlord Spear, and it was instantly swept away.

Thrown into the air, Zhou Wen summoned the banana fan. He kept fanning the Grand Yin Wind at the tunnel, but it wasn't of much use. The strong winds blew through the tunnel for an unknown distance without touching anything.

The tunnel eventually tightened so much that it closed completely into itself. The blood-colored avatar was also strangulated and the game screen went black.

Zhou Wen's expression turned nasty. If the former principal and company had entered the tunnel and encountered the same situation, the chance of them surviving was nearly zero.

Ghost Bride wasn't ground to death by that strange tunnel because she's a ghost, but she loses contact with me after entering. It's useless to survive inside. Zhou Wen thought for a moment and opened the Zhuolu instance dungeon again. He wanted to see what happened if he took the right fork.

If the right tunnel was the same as the left one, he could basically give up hope of rescuing the former principal.

When Zhou Wen reached the tunnel once again, he decisively chose the right fork.

When he stepped into the tunnel, he couldn't help but shudder again. An extremely ominous feeling rose in his heart once more.

The tunnel on the right was somewhat different from the left fork. This was still a squarish stone tunnel, but there were no sharp crystals.

However, Zhou Wen discovered many strange texts on the stone walls. Some of the text looked similar to hieroglyphics, but not quite the same. All in all, Zhou Wen didn't recognize the words.

He turned around and realized that the crossroads from where he entered had also disappeared.

Zhou Wen felt a little more at ease. Although he found it ominous, there wasn't any lethal danger. If the former principal and company had chosen the right tunnel, they could still be alive.

Zhou Wen controlled the blood-colored avatar to walk forward. For some reason, he had a nagging feeling that there were many pairs of eyes watching him, but he found none of them when he observed his surroundings.

As he walked, he felt something amiss. The feeling of being spied on grew stronger.

Is it those words? Zhou Wen frowned slightly as he stared at the strange text on the stone walls. If there was anything in the tunnel, it had to be those strange texts.

Zhou Wen summoned the Overlord Spear and stabbed at one of the words on the stone wall. Overlord Spear's Ever-Victorious showed its effects as it directly stabbed into the stone wall, impaling a text.
