A wisp of mysterious gas slowly emerged from Andrei's head. Originally colorless, odorless, and shapeless, the airflow gradually turned black under the influence of the black cylindrical object, and then slowly entered it!
After a while, when the gas no longer came out from Andrei's head, the ancient demon entity quickly secured the lid of the black cylindrical object and began shaking it vigorously.
The sound of "ding ding dang dang" resonated from the black cylindrical object, as if two hard objects were colliding, causing Wen Yu to feel heavy-hearted.
After some time, the ancient demon entity steadied the object in hand, lifted the lid, peered inside earnestly, and then slowly raised his head with a strange smile on his face.
“Can you guess… what’s inside?”
Upon hearing Andrei's words, Wen Yu's heart tightened instantly.
...
The entire area fell into an eerie silence.
The ancient demon entity simply held the black cylindrical object, while Wen Yu and Claire stood silently to the side.
“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. In this situation, you need to see for yourself; otherwise, you might think I’m trying to deceive you!”
The ancient demon entity shrugged and placed the black cylindrical object directly on the ground.
“I’m leaving this thing here, and I must say, I haven’t set any traps or methods on it. Of course, whether you believe it or not is up to you!”
“And a crucial tip!”
“If I were you, I would choose to walk away right now and ignore this thing! Because not everyone can withstand the truth! I’m really afraid this little thing will destroy you! Hehehe…”
The ancient demon entity emitted a series of eerie laughter, waved goodbye to Wen Yu, and clearly mouthed the words.
“If fate allows, we shall meet again!!!”
Then, silver light flickered continuously as the ancient demon entity used several teleportations, quickly rushing toward the demonic city!
Leaving only Wen Yu and Claire, both with uncertain expressions, staring at the black cylindrical object on the ground, pondering their thoughts.
...
“You take the Frenzy and go first.”
Wen Yu controlled the dark demon lord and pulled the Frenzy from his body, placing it in Claire's hands.
Claire hesitated for a moment, looking at the dark demon lord's massive body, but ultimately accepted the Frenzy.
The current situation was clear; Wen Yu had no intention of sharing secrets, and it would be absurd to say that Claire had no desire to explore the unknown.
However, circumstances were stronger than personal inclination. Claire wouldn't doubt that if she were to be uncooperative, Wen Yu would definitely take action against her.
“Be careful…”
Claire suppressed her curiosity and spoke to Wen Yu before quickly heading toward the exit of the outpost.
...
The black cylindrical object on the ground emanated an ominous black light, and under the eternally bright sky of the treasure land, it seemed like a black hole, firmly capturing Wen Yu's gaze.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Wen Yu decisively dismissed the dark demon lord form.
A Faceless, identical to Wen Yu, stood beside him, dutifully guarding him.
“Go, check that thing for any traps.”
Although the ancient demon entity had claimed not to have set any traps on the black cylindrical object, Wen Yu would never place his safety in the credibility of an enemy!
The Faceless faithfully executed Wen Yu's orders and walked directly to the front of the black cylindrical object, bending down to pick it up.
Then, under Wen Yu's direction, the Faceless directly opened the lid of the black cylindrical object and looked inside.
However, ten minutes passed.
Nothing happened.
...
It was confirmed that the ancient demon entity did not deceive Wen Yu.
Indeed, there were no traps on the black cylindrical object.
“Hand that thing to me.”
At Wen Yu's command, the Faceless, holding the black cylindrical object, quickly walked toward Wen Yu.
The black cylindrical object felt cold to the touch, and its texture was slightly hard; combined with the outer layer of black unknown material, Wen Yu could not see what was inside.
