After being severely injured, the golden bull seemed to lose all its strength. It fell to the ground and let out a tragic cry as though it had lost the ability to resist.
âGet out of the way!â Zhou Wen roared as he cleaved down the Bamboo Blade at the golden bullâs neck.
Li Xuan ducked to the side. The golden bull seemed to be in so much pain that it forgot how to dodge. When Zhou Wenâs Bamboo Blade slashed at its neck, a metallic clang sounded. A long gash appeared on its neck as blood immediately gushed out.
Zhou Wenâs other hand had already grabbed the Golden Overlord Sword and slashed. The golden bull was completely at Zhou Wenâs mercy. It didnât resist as Zhou Wenâs cleaved through more than half its neck.
âNo good. Retreat quickly!â Zhou Wen felt a sense of danger when he saw a strange aura emit from the golden bull. As he shouted, he flew backward.
Li Xuan wasnât slow either, but before the duo could run far, the golden bullâs body exploded like a nuclear bomb. The terrifying power destroyed everything in a radius of two to three hundred meters.
Zhou Wen and Li Xuan were sent flying by the shockwave. They tumbled far away before stopping. The armor on their bodies was in shambles, and blood stained their backs.
Zhou Wen got up and looked in the direction of the golden bullâs self-detonation. He saw a crystal and a Companion Egg drop on the ground. He couldnât help but be delighted.
Ignoring the injuries on his body, Zhou Wen quickly rushed towards the crystal and Companion Egg. The golden bull was so awesome that it had dropped two items at once. It was the best.
Furthermore, its bell had a strange power. If he could hatch such a golden bull and make it his pet, it would be quite useful.
However, before Zhou Wen could reach the Companion Egg, he saw a white figure flash past. Then, the golden bull Companion Egg on the ground vanished.
Zhou Wen hurriedly turned his head and saw a white parrot hold the Companion Egg in its claws as it flew through the air. Its speed was shockingly fast, and in an instant, it had already flown to the top of a skyscraper and landed on Leng Zongzhengâs shoulder. The Companion Egg in its claw had landed in Leng Zongzhengâs hand.
Leng Zongzheng held the Companion Egg in his hand as he looked at Zhou Wen with a faint smile. It was as though he was saying: âSince you snatched from me once, Iâll snatch from you too.â
What kind of chancellor is this? Is he that petty?
Zhou Wen muttered inwardly as he rushed over to pick up the dimensional crystal.
The dimensional crystal was like a golden crystal. Inside was the shadow of a bull. It was clearly an Essence Energy Skill Crystal.
Although he didnât obtain the Companion Egg, obtaining an Essence Energy Skill Crystal was a form of consolation.
With the death of the golden bull, humanityâs counterattack began. The firepower became more intense. The human Epic experts also used their Companion Beasts to fight, executing dimensional creatures on the spot.
As no new dimensional creatures rushed out, the terrifying dimensional creatures were finally suppressed. All the dimensional creatures that charged out of Dragon Gate Grotto were killed.
Although they had obtained victory, there was very little joy on their faces. Many soldiers and officers had sacrificed themselves, so most wore solemn expressions.
The soldiers began clearing the battlefield. Zhou Wen, Li Xuan, and Feng Qiuyan retreated and returned to their temporary encampment to rest. They still needed to continue delivering the supplies in a while.
Li Xuanâs injuries had already healed, but Zhou Wen couldnât recover that quickly. Although the wounds on his back werenât bleeding, they had a burning sensation. All he could do was lie in the tent and rest.
Feng Qiuyan was so tired that he fell asleep the moment he collapsed onto the blanket. He had killed so many dimensional creatures that his stamina and Essence Energy were severely drained.
âItâs already so terrifying with Dragon Gate Grotto suffering a breakout. If all the dimensional zones in Luoyang were to encounter a breakout, it would be unimaginable. Thereâs no way humans can survive,â Li Xuan said.
Zhou Wen shared the same thoughts. Up to now, the difference between humans and dimensional zones was still huge.
âOld Zhou, do you think another dimensional creature will rush out of Dragon Gate Grotto?â Li Xuan asked again.
âItâs hard to say so, but this matter definitely isnât over. The giant golden bird on the mountaintop, as well as the monsters in the water, and the skeleton in monk robes in the temple havenât moved yet,â Zhou Wen said as he used his phone to snap a picture of the Essence Energy Skill Crystal he had just obtained.
Great Might Vajra Bull Crystal: Mythical
Absorption Requirement: Constitution 41, Essence Energy 41, Buddhist Essence Energy Art
Zhou Wen looked at the requirement. Although it didnât have any special stat requirements, he couldnât meet the two 41 stat requirements. All he could do was put the Essence Energy Crystal away.
After the battle, Dragon Gate Grotto temporarily calmed down. Without any dimensional creatures rushing out, Zhou Wen and company could rest.
âYoung Master Wen, how are your injuries? Iâve brought you some medicine.â An Sheng walked in with a smile, holding a small bottle in his hand.
âThereâs no need. Iâve almost recovered. Iâll be fine after some rest.â Zhou Wen was wearing Runic Heavy-Armor during the battle, so his injuries werenât serious. He just needed some time to recover.
After all, he wasnât Li Xuan. He didnât have such potent self-recovery abilities.
âThis medicine is good. Itâll heal you quickly once itâs applied. Iâll apply some for you.â An Sheng opened the medicine bottle and dripped the liquid on Zhou Wenâs wound. Zhou Wen immediately felt a refreshing feeling envelop his wound, making him feel much better.
An Sheng applied the medicine evenly on his wound and said, âToday, the three of you were amazing. Many of the men are talking about the three of you. All of you are considered famous now. If any of you wish to enter the Sunset Army in the future, you will definitely be protected by the soldiers.â
Zhou Wen didnât say a word as Li Xuan said with a smile, âThatâs for sure. When I was young, a fortune-teller told me that I had the life of a general. Iâll definitely become a senior official in the future.â
âThird Young Master, if you wish to join the Sunset Army, I guarantee that Iâll leave a good position for you,â An Sheng said.
âWeâll see when the time comes. There are still two to three years before graduation,â Li Xuan said.
An Sheng naturally understood that Li Xuan was only making small talk. The Li family might not be willing to let him enter the Sunset Army.
An Sheng was about to say something when a soldier hurriedly came over and said, âAdjutant An, thereâs something happening at Dragon Gate Grotto. Deputy Governor Qin requests your presence.â
âDo you want us to go with you?â Zhou Wen asked.
âThereâs no need. All of you can rest. If something really happened, Deputy Governor Qin wouldnât be so at ease to get someone to invite me over,â An Sheng said as he left Zhou Wenâs tent.
Although Zhou Wen and company didnât go, they soon learned what had happened. A strange scene appeared in Dragon Gate Grottoâs Alchemy Cave. A black smoke surged out and enveloped the entire entrance of the Alchemy Cave. Furthermore, they could hear the screams of wraiths and resentful ghosts in the black smoke.
However, that was all. No dimensional creatures rushed out.
