64: Unknown creature!

Wei Zhou stood rooted to the spot for a long time, seemingly reminiscing about that medicinal plant!

Immediately, he resumed his steps, continuing towards the unknown path ahead!

After about a quarter of an hour, Wei Zhou vaguely saw a building soaring into the clouds in the distance!

He did not venture forward rashly! Instead, he released his Divine Sense to check for any danger.

Wei Zhou's Divine Sense spread like a spiderweb, gradually covering an area of 155 zhang!

After confirming there was no danger ahead, Wei Zhou continued to walk forward!

Not long after, Wei Zhou arrived in front of the building, and he looked up at the structure before him!

It soared into the clouds! However, at this point, it already looked quite dilapidated!

The main door and windows were covered in cobwebs! From time to time, there were squeaks of mice! Accompanied by a foul stench!

Wei Zhou pinched his nose and said,

"So smelly! What is this, so stinky!"

"Ugh (´ཀ`)---! It's really stinking me to death!"

How to describe this smell? It was a stench of excrement mixed with plastic and moldy stagnant water!

It made one recoil! Daring not to proceed further!

However, how could this stump Wei Zhou! With a flick of his sleeve,

Within a one-zhang radius, a faint white illusory barrier immediately rose, blocking the foul stench!

Wei Zhou couldn't help but take a deep breath of air, saying,

"Finally, it doesn't stink anymore!"

He then walked forward, and after a few steps, he finally reached the door!

Wei Zhou first retreated a few steps, then manipulated his spiritual power to open the door!

After a long time, the door remained motionless!

Wei Zhou had no choice but to stick a few defensive Talismans on himself, then walked back to the door!

He poured all his magic power into his palms and pushed them against the tall stone door in front of him!

The moment his palms touched the stone door, a gap was pushed open in the middle of the stone door!

Wei Zhou stretched his neck to look into the gap, but he saw nothing but darkness, unable to see anything at all!

He then continued to continuously inject the magic power from his body into his palms to push open the stone door!

The stone door emitted a series of continuous rumbling sounds!

"Rumble---!"

"Rumble---!"

"Rumble---!"

"......"

The moment the stone door opened, Wei Zhou suddenly retreated rapidly!

He felt a fatal crisis emanating from within, meaning that if he were to step inside, he would very likely perish there!

Wei Zhou, who had retreated several hundred zhang away, hid behind a large tree, poking out his head, looking furtively at the stone door ahead!

Inside the stone door, weeds grew everywhere, and in the center was a high circular altar! Tied to it was an Unknown Creature, its body pierced by nine iron chains!

At this moment, it was on its last breath, lying on the ground!

Wei Zhou did not underestimate this Unknown Creature because of the dying aura it emitted, did he?

He quickly retrieved his only second-grade low-tier Magic Treasure from his Storage Pouch!

It lay across his front, ready to strike!

His two eyes stared intently at the Unknown Creature on the altar inside the stone door!

He waited for any movement from it, ready to unleash a sword strike directly!

However, after waiting for a long time, the Unknown Creature showed no signs of movement!

Wei Zhou continuously stuck a pile of Talismans on himself, while his hands tightly gripped his only second-grade low-tier Magic Treasure! Only then did he cautiously walk towards the stone door!

After walking a few zhang, Wei Zhou again hid behind an ancient tree!

He poked out his round head, his two bright black eyes staring straight into the stone door!

He watched for a long time, but saw no movement!

So, Wei Zhou, emboldened, continued to walk forward!

This time, he walked directly to a distance of 80 zhang from the Unknown Creature inside the stone door!

He vigilantly spoke,

"Hey~! Hello!"

"Who are you? Are you still alive?"

As his words fell, Wei Zhou stared directly at the Unknown Creature, waiting for its reply!

The Unknown Creature emitted a gender-neutral, very hoarse, and intermittent voice, saying,

"Me, well! I... am... who...?"

"I... can't... remember... anymore! But... it's... not... important... anymore!"

"After all! I... will soon... have a new... body... to replace this one!"

"Heh... heh... heh!"

Finally, the Unknown Creature even let out a "heh heh heh" strange laugh, but the Unknown Creature's strange laugh was intermittent, sounding particularly odd!

Wei Zhou listened to what the Unknown Creature said, contemplating, then suddenly retreated rapidly!

He retreated a thousand meters away! But he still felt unsafe, so he quickly summoned his magic sword, performing sword flight! He transformed into a streak of light, rapidly soaring into the distance!

After flying several tens of miles, Wei Zhou slowly descended into a forest below!

He let out a long breath, slumping down beside a tree and saying,

"Phew~! That was close!"

He had just heard what the Unknown Creature said and reacted instantly!

The Unknown Creature said it would change to a new body! He then knew that the Unknown Creature wanted to perform Possession on him!

So he quickly retreated, directly flying by sword to reach this place!

This place was about several tens of miles away from the Unknown Creature inside the stone door! He thought that the Unknown Creature inside should not be able to catch up!

Wei Zhou looked at the forest ahead and said,

"This is already tens of miles away! That thing shouldn't be able to catch up, right!"

Although he said so, Wei Zhou still felt unsure!

Suddenly, a strange cackling sound came abruptly from behind Wei Zhou!

"Heh... heh... heh!"

The Unknown Creature's strange laugh was still intermittent!

Immediately after, the Unknown Creature said,

"Finally... found... you, little... worm!"

"Cough cough! Be good and... become this venerable one's... new body... !"

"Heh... heh... heh!"

Wei Zhou turned his head and saw a black shadow pouncing towards him!

He reacted swiftly, and a strike of the "Clear Wind Sword Art" slashed towards the black shadow!

No sooner said than done! The black shadow was directly split in two by the sword light!

Finally, it gathered back together and continued to pounce towards Wei Zhou!

Wei Zhou wielded his sword and fought with it, exchanging hundreds of blows within tens of breaths!

The black shadow was evenly matched with him, an inextricable struggle!

......

Several hours later,

Wei Zhou was the first to exhaust his strength and was taken advantage of by the black shadow, which directly drilled into his body!

He immediately let out a scream!
