678 Determining Its Attributes (1/2)

Everyone wanted the white elephant Companion Egg, but no one dared to send a Companion Beast into the mountain temple. The death of the Epic immortal crane was truly shocking.

Although Zhou Wen felt that his Mythical Companion Beast was likely capable of withstanding the golden light emitted by the monk-robed skeleton, he was afraid that the golden light from the crystal would erupt again. When that happened, even a Mythical might not be able to withstand it. To sacrifice a Mythical Companion Beast for a Mythical Companion Egg, with the possibility of not getting it back made it too risky.

An Tianzuo and Leng Zongzheng didn't let their Companion Beasts enter the mountain temple. Clearly, they had the same qualms.

Two Mythical creatures had died. No one dared to enter the temple to grab the Companion Eggs. There were no new changes in Dragon Gate Grotto.

Qin Wufu had already ordered the troops to disperse and rest. The soldiers and officers returned to their respective positions. As for the Epic experts from the noble families, they sized up the Companion Egg unwillingly and tried to think of ways to get it out.

In the end, they lost several Epic Companion Beasts and failed to enter the mountain temple.

Zhou Wen ultimately held back his urges and didn't let his Mythical Companion Beast enter. Before figuring out the origins of the monk-clothed skeleton and the crystal, taking risks meant death.

”Young Master Wen, Chancellor Leng wants to see you,” An Sheng said as Zhou Wen was loading the supplies.

Zhou Wen put down his work and followed An Sheng to Leng Zongzheng's office.

When Zhou Wen arrived, he realized that An Tianzuo and Qin Wufu were there. Zhou Wen pretended not to see An Tianzuo and only greeted Chancellor Leng and Qin Wufu.

”Little Zhou, come and have a seat.” Qin Wufu warmly invited Zhou Wen to take a seat.

Only then did Leng Zongzheng say, ”You all saw what happened in the mountain temple. What are your thoughts?”

Qin Wufu said, ”Chancellor, do you think the golden crystal in the skeleton's hand is the legendary Relic?”

”There's a possibility, but Relics are Buddhist treasures. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have such destructive force,” said Leng Zongzheng.

An Tianzuo thought for a moment and said, ”I do have an idea. Perhaps that monk-robed skeleton isn't a dimensional creature from Dragon Gate Grotto.”

”Go into the detail.” Leng Zongzheng gestured for An Tianzuo to continue.

An Tianzuo continued, ”When we saw him sitting cross-legged in his monk robes, we thought he was a dimensional creature from Dragon Gate Grotto. However, the power he used, including the crystal, looks different from the Buddhist-type creatures I've seen before.”

”That's right.” Leng Zongzheng nodded calmly.

”Tianzuo's guess coincides with mine. The golden-winged bird and the monk-robed skeleton are top Mythical creatures. If we want to achieve anything, I'm afraid we won't be able to avoid competing with them. We need to make early preparations.” After Leng Zongzheng said that, he looked at Zhou Wen and said, ”When the time comes, you can enter the mountain temple with us. You have to be prepared to fight the golden-winged bird and the monk-robed skeleton. If you have any worries, tell me ahead of time.”

”Yes, I'll prepare well,” Zhou Wen answered.

Leng Zongzheng nodded and continued, ”Let's say that the monk-robed skeleton isn't a dimensional creature from Dragon Gate Grotto, nor is he a Buddhist-tye creature. Which type do you think it is?”

Qin Wufu pondered and said, ”I've seen quite a number of dimensional creatures over the years, but this is the first time I've seen such power.”
