When it was time for Pill Furnace Mountain to respawn pill essence, Zhou Wen went to farm them again. The Golden Overlord Sword killed the pill essence that spewed out one by one. As he killed them, he suddenly saw a strange pill essence spew out from Pill Furnace Mountain.
The pill essence wasnât the common red and golden color. Although it was white, it wasnât a dragon-patterned Rejuvenation Pill. It had black colors, but it wasnât a tiger-patterned Resurrection Pill either.
It was a pill that was half white, half black, half dragon-patterned, and half tiger-patterned. It looked strange and strangely harmonious. From the pill essence, one could faintly hear dragon and tiger roars.
Clang!
The Golden Overlord Sword slashed at the pill essence, but a white dragon-shaped Essence Energy rushed out of the pill, blocking the Golden Overlord Swordâs sword beam.
Although the dragon-shaped Essence Energy was ultimately shattered by the Golden Overlord Sword, the latter did not then have the strength to injure the pill essence.
Before the Golden Overlord Sword could deliver a second attack, a tigerâs roar sounded from the pill essenceâs body. A black-colored Essence Energy condensed into a ferocious tiger and pounced at the blood-colored avatar.
Zhou Wen summoned Tyrant Behemoth and slammed down with his claw, shattering the Essence Energy tiger.
Tyrant Behemoth took another step forward, wanting to shatter the pill essence as well. However, a dragon and tigerâs roar sounded from the pill essenceâs body. The shadow of a dragon and tiger rose and actually blocked Tyrant Behemothâs attack.
Tyrant Behemoth struck out several times, but it failed to shatter the dragon-tiger shadows. All it could do was activate Absolute Strength and roar as it struck out again. After more than ten punches, it shattered the dragon-tiger shadows.
The pill essence was also repeatedly struck by Tyrant Behemothâs punches. Finally, it shattered into pieces. Its healing speed couldnât keep up with the shattering speed.
âKilled Mythical creature, Dragon Tiger Pill Essence. Discovered Companion Egg.â
When Zhou Wen saw the game notification, he saw a Companion Egg drop. He couldnât help but be delighted as he hurriedly picked it up and hatched it.

Life Providence: Dragon Spirit Tiger Feracity
Life Soul: Dragon Tiger Combat
Wheel of Destiny: Resurrection

What a powerful pill essence. Can this thing really resurrect the dead?
Zhou Wen couldnât help but be overjoyed when he saw the information on the Dragon Tiger Pill Essence.
Ignoring the other attributes, its Wheel of Destiny was somewhat powerful. In the introduction, it said that it had the ability to revive the dead. He didnât know if that was true.
However, without a doubt, this was a life-saving item. Even if it was difficult to resurrect the dead, it would definitely have miraculous effects when used on serious injuries.
With such a treasure, Zhou Wen was even more motivated. Unfortunately, he didnât gain anything after grinding the 81 pill essences.
During this period of time, there was no news from the Zhang family. Zhang Yuzhi didnât return. The date of the auction was approaching.
This morning, Zhou Wen took Yaâer out for a stroll as usual. When he walked to the nearby river, he saw Zhang Chunqiu sitting on a bench by the river.
âWhat a coincidence.â Zhou Wen walked over with Yaâer to greet him.
âItâs not a coincidence. I came here specially to wait for you,â Zhang Chunqiu said.
Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback. âWhy didnât you go to the hotel to look for me?â
Zhang Chunqiuâs face was filled with exhaustion, but he still said with a smile, âItâs been stifling these past few days. I wanted to come out to take a breather, so I decided to wait for you here.â
âWhatâs the matter?â Zhou Wen asked.
âThe matter with the Fiend Tomb is very troublesome. More than ten people from the Zhang family have died. They have all jumped into the Fiend Tomb and become Fiend Stone statues,â Zhang Chunqiu said.
âHasnât someone been watching?â Zhou Wen was alarmed.
âItâs useless. No one knows who will be the next one to jump. Perhaps the next one to jump will be the person guarding it. We have already thought of many solutions and even evacuated everyone from the Fiend Tomb, but there are still people who have walked to the Fiend Tomb themselves and become Fiend Stone statues,â Zhang Chunqiu said with a sigh.
âIs there anything I can help you with?â On account of Zhang Yuzhi, Zhou Wen didnât mind helping if he could.
Zhang Chunqiu shook his head and said, âUp to now, I havenât figured out a solution. Iâm not here because of Fiend Tomb.â
âThen why are you looking for me?â Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement.
The Zhang family had encountered such a huge problem, but Zhang Chunqiu still took the time to meet him. It was probably something important.
âI came here to ask you a favor. The Zhang family is in contact with Sunset College. If there arenât any problems, Yuzhi should be able to be a tutor at Sunset College. When the time comes, I hope you can take care of her. She doesnât have many friends, so I canât beg others,â Zhang Chunqiu said.
âIs the matter with the Fiend Tomb really that dangerous?â Zhou Wen knew that if they werenât doing it out of desperation, how would the Zhang family let Zhang Yuzhi leave Mount Dragon Tiger to go to Sunset College?
The Zhang family must have reached a helpless state before making such a decision.
âItâs just a precaution. After the auction ends, Iâll get Yuzhi to accompany you to Luoyang. If the Zhang family can successfully pass this trial, Iâll bring her back,â Zhang Chunqiu said.
Zhou Wen felt that this was an opportunity. Therefore, he looked at Zhang Chunqiu and said, âAlthough I donât know much about the Fiend Tomb, I have some special abilities. Perhaps they can be of some help to the Fiend Tomb. If your Zhang family doesnât mind, can you let me do a comprehensive survey of the Fiend Tomb?â
âThe Zhang family is extremely grateful that you are willing to help us, so why would we mind? However, the Fiend Tomb is too dangerous. Anyone who has come into contact with the Fiend Tomb might subconsciously walk into it. Iâm afraid...â Zhang Chunqiu didnât continue, but his meaning was very clear.
âIâve already been to the Fiend Tomb. If thereâs really a problem, I wonât be able to escape. Iâm doing this for myself.â Zhou Wenâs last sentence was the truth.
Surveying was only an excuse. What he really wanted to do was take a picture of the tiny palm symbol and download the Fiend Tomb dungeon.
After Zhou Wen downloaded the Fiend Tomb dungeon, he could enter the Fiend Tomb in-game. Perhaps he could resolve the Zhang familyâs problems.
âWhen do you want to go?â Zhang Chunqiu asked after some thought.
âThe sooner the better. This matter canât be delayed,â Zhou Wen said.
âIn that case, come with me now.â Zhang Chunqiu led Zhou Wen to the Fiend Tomb again.
Zhou Wen was delighted. This time, he could finally approach the Fiend Tomb and take a picture of the tiny palm symbol on it.
When they arrived at the Fiend Tomb again, there were clearly more people from the Zhang family stationed here. On every stone platform, there were four people sitting facing each other. If anything happened, the other three would immediately know to prevent any accidents.
