After circling around Xicheng Mountain for so long, Zhou Wen finally saw the tiny palm symbol.
However, there was no entrance to the mountain at the spot where the tiny palm symbol was. There was a bare stone wall with a fist-sized depression on it. As the nearby mountain walls werenât flat, the depression looked inconspicuous.
âJunior Brother, are you really not planning on entering the mountain? I think that although Teacher is a little strange, he wouldnât scam us. Furthermore, the old fellow has already gone in to take a look. You know how sharp his eyes are. If he says that thereâs no problem, I donât think there will be a problem,â Liu Yun muttered.
Zhou Wen ignored him. He took out his phone and snapped the tiny palm symbol on the mountain wall with his back facing Liu Yun. His phone immediately displayed the download notification of the dungeon. âWhatâs so good about snapping this crappy mountain? Say something. Do you want to enter the mountain or not?â Liu Yun was extremely depressed. âDonât you think this mountain wall is a little different?â Zhou Wen said as he looked at the mountain wall.
If not for the tiny palm symbol, Zhou Wen wouldnât have discovered anything amiss here. However, since the tiny palm symbol was engraved here, it didnât make sense that there was nothing special around the mountain wall.
Therefore, after repeated observations, Zhou Wen realized that the mountain wall was somewhat special.
âWhatâs different?â Liu Yun was taken aback when he heard that. He couldnât help but carefully size up the mountain wall. âThe protrusions and depressions on this mountain wall are somewhat strange,â Zhou Wen said as he looked.
âWhatâs so strange about it? Why donât I see any differences? The terrain here is just like that. Itâs all natural. There arenât any signs of artificial excavation.â Liu Yun was a little puzzled. He couldnât tell what was wrong.
âIf Iâm not wrong, the protrusions and depressions here are arranged in a profound formation. They look irregular, but they contain great wisdom.â Ever since Zhou Wen watched the battle between Truth Listener and Starlady Polestar, he had a deeper understanding of the Major Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array. He knew a little about such stuff.
Although he didnât know what the arrangement of the protrusions and depressions was called, some of them were very similar to the Major Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array. It wasnât difficult to make an analogy.
âYou know array formations?â Liu Yun looked at Zhou Wen in surprise.
âA little. Let me see. If Iâm not wrong, there should be something else here,â Zhou Wen said as he reached out and pressed down on one of the protrusions.
However, nothing happened. He didnât manage to sink the protruding stone, nor did anything happen nearby.
âHaha, Junior Brother, thereâs no need to blush. Itâs normal for humans to make mistakes. Donât show off if you havenât learned it well in the futureâŠâ He was very happy that he had finally found an opportunity to criticize Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen ignored him and pressed a few other protrusions and depressions.
âJunior Brother, array formations come from the Book of Changes. Itâs a form of specialized knowledge. Itâs not something that can be learned simply by browsing through. If you really want to learn it, Iâll recommend you to the Zhang family later. Their family is good at thisâŠâ Liu Yun was speaking happily when the smile on his face suddenly froze. After Zhou Wen finished tapping, he heard cracking sounds as a fissure suddenly opened in the mountain wall.
The hole wasnât big, only slightly bigger than a dog hole. People could probably only crawl inside; it was impossible for ordinary people to stand up.
âHoly sh*t, there really is one. Could this be one of the nine gates of Kunlun? However, this entrance is too small. Itâs very difficult for humans to enter. Can those creatures in Kunlun Mountain burrow out?â Liu Yun widened his eyes.
âI wonder if we can reach the place you mentioned by entering from here,â Zhou Wen said as he sized up the hole.
âIâm afraid no one knows about this mountain entrance. Who knows what will happen if we enter from here. Letâs not waste any time. If you want to enter, go through the gate I mentioned.â Liu Yun didnât wish to take the risk. Kunlun Mountain wasnât a place where one could take risks.
Zhou Wen didnât plan on entering either. Like Liu Yun, he wasnât willing to risk his life.
Since the mobile dungeon was already downloading, he could slowly explore it in-game in the future.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the hole, as though something was rubbing two stones together.
Whatâs that sound? Zhou Wen sized up the cave entrance. It didnât seem to be obstructed, but he could only see a meter or two. When he looked further in, he couldnât see anything. All he felt was darkness.
Darkness wasnât an obstacle to Zhou Wenâs vision. He could see everything clearly even if it was pitch black. It wasnât as simple as being dark.
âIt sounds like someoneâs using sandpaper to grind rocks.â Liu Yun listened for a while before continuing, âThat sound seems to be getting closer and closer to the hole. Could something be coming out?â
âWhat could it be? A break-out creature?â Zhou Wen was somewhat curious. After retreating and waiting for a period of time, he continued staring intently at the hole.
Liu Yun retreated even further than Zhou Wen. If something really came out of Kunlun Mountain, it would definitely be an extremely terrifying object.
The stronger the dimensional zones were, the harder it was for the dimensional creatures inside to break out. The thought of creatures that could break out of the Kunlun Mountain struck fear in him.
The grinding sounds coming from the cave grew louder and louder. Zhou Wen thought for a long time, but he couldnât figure out what the sound was. He had never seen an animal make such a sound when crawling out.
No matter how hard he listened, it sounded like someone was grinding rocks. Not long after, the sound of grinding became even more intense. This time, it didnât sound like it was grinding rocks. It sounded more like someone was cutting rocks.
The thin and sharp sound hurt oneâs eardrums.
âFrom the commotion, I reckon a huge fellow is about to come out. Letâs not cause trouble. Quickly close the gate.â Liu Yun retreated a distance. If there was so much of a stir, he would probably be the first to escape.
âSince itâs coming out, it wonât be too late to leave after seeing what it is,â Zhou Wen said as he retreated. The two of them hid behind a boulder in the distance and secretly looked in the direction of the cave entrance. Now, he was really curious about what would crawl out.
âJunior Brother, do you think an electric saw will crawl out?â Liu Yun looked nervous, but he didnât stop talking.
Just as Zhou Wen was about to say something, he saw a blurry shadow appear in the cave, but he couldnât clearly make it out. The thing in the cave seemed to have walked out of the thick fog. At first, he could only see its outline, but as he got closer and closer to the cave entrance, its appearance gradually became clearer.
âWhatâs this?â Finally, Zhou Wen and Liu Yun saw what the thing that crawled out of the cave looked like, but they still didnât recognize it.
