We tried to bypass the zombies and took some small paths, coincidentally arriving next to an ancient temple.

We carefully passed through the trees and cautiously walked into the small temple.

The layout inside the temple was no different from other places. Right in front of the entrance were a pair of clay sculptures, not the usual statues but more like ferocious beasts.

They resembled jackals and wolves, with the body of a lion or tiger, and the size of a dragon. They had deep eye sockets and a hideous appearance. The two clay figures, one on the left and one on the right, faced each other with their four eyes.

"The dragon has nine sons, and the second is Yazi," Chang An said as he looked at the sculptures.

I have also heard of Yazi, a manifestation of a ferocious beast. Bloodthirsty and fond of killing, brave and skilled in combat.

Something strange.

As for what exactly is strange, we don't know.

Suddenly, a dark shadow darted out from behind the Yazi sculpture, swiftly passing by Wen Huai's side and scattering some unknown powder, then it disappeared into thin air. Wen Huai also fell to the ground unconscious.

〖Ding Dong! System mission triggered! Wen Huai has been taken into the Extreme Origin Illusion by a villain. Host, please make a small sacrifice and head to the Extreme Origin to bring Wen Huai back to reality.〗

What the hell?

"How am I supposed to bring him back?"

〖It's simple. When you're ready, just say a spell.〗

"What spell?"

"Gulnara, the God of Darkness, whoo-hoo-la-hoo, go to sleep."

...

"Then how do I wake up?"

"Barara, energy, shalala, awaken."

You've got to be kidding me.

I felt as if I heard three crows flying by.

System, are you joking with me?

"I will go and save him. But it's not because the system mission forces me to save him, it's because I want to save him."

If I don't want to, not even the Emperor could make me take risks!

〖It's your world, you're in charge! The system will cheer for the host!〗

Suddenly, Ye Lan had already run to Wen Huai's side and was calling out to him.

I stepped forward and said, "Wen Huai was probably taken into the Extreme Origin by that person's hallucinogenic powder. I will forcibly enter the spiritual realm later and bring him back from the Extreme Origin."

"Be careful!" Ye Lan said.
