600 The Imprisoned Guardian (1/2)

Zhou Wen suspected that there was no need for him to slam the door with all his strength as Wang Mingyuan had said. However, Zhou Wen didn't have any evidence.

After the door rose, Zhou Wen saw the scene in the temple. There weren't any statues of consecrated deities or predellas. There were many stone monuments scattered in the hall.

There were many strange lines and patterns engraved on each stone monument. He did not know what they meant.

Zhou Wen stood outside the door and counted. Indeed, it was arranged exactly as drawn on the slip of paper.

As he alternated his hands to move forward, Zhou Wen followed the path Wang Mingyuan had described and entered the stone monument's formation. When he passed some stone monuments, he propped himself up with one hand and pressed the stone monument with the other.

After circling the stone monument array for a while, he finally finished all necessary actions. The stone monument spun, revealing a stone staircase that led underground.

Zhou Wen hurriedly entered the stone steps and finally heaved a sigh of relief. He placed his feet on the ground and returned to his normal state.

He sized up the stone staircase and saw that the stone walls on both sides were engraved with symbols that Zhou Wen knew nothing of. Most of them were simple lines and points that were arranged in a certain way.

He walked down the stone steps all the way. Before long, the stone steps turned a little. They continued downwards, like the stairs in a building.

He walked all the way down. After walking for more than a hundred storeys worth of steps, he still couldn't see the end. The patterns on the stone wall remained, but he didn't know what they were for.

When Zhou Wen thought that there was no end, he saw that the stone steps below were somewhat different.

The stone steps below turned into jade and emitted a cold aura.

After stepping onto the jade stairs, he continued walking down. Not long after, he reached the end. Beneath him was a room made of jade. Floating in the middle of the room was a black cocoon.

There were many cracks on the cocoon's body as black gas seeped out from the cracks. However, the black gas failed to emit as it was absorbed by the white circles on the black cocoon's body.

There were a total of seven circles on the black cocoon. They looked like they were made of jade and had mysterious incantations engraved on them.

When Zhou Wen looked at the black cocoon, he suddenly realized that a black eye was staring at him through a crack.

”No,” Zhou Wen answered without any hesitation.

He could naturally tell that there was something wrong with the Guardian inside the black cocoon.

There was no Mythical creature guarding him here, and the black cocoon was clearly imprisoned. This was completely different from the Guardians that Zhou Wen had seen before.

”Human, don't you wish to obtain powerful strength? As long as you form a contract with me, you can obtain immense power and advance to the Mythical stage.” The voice from the black cocoon sounded again.

”If you were really that strong, you wouldn't have been imprisoned here.” Zhou Wen said, but he thought to himself, Who has the ability to imprison a Guardian here? Is it a human? I'm afraid humans don't have such powerful abilities.
