Let Me Game in Peace

o a stream of light and flew into the distance.
In the blink of an eye, he flew thousands of meters away.

Zhou Wen was feeling excited that he had finally escaped.
All he needed to do was leave this dimensional zone.

However, just as he smiled, he suddenly felt the world spin.
When he snapped to his senses, he realized that he was on a furry claw.

The owner of the claw was the black-gray-haired ape.

Zhou Wen was alarmed.
He had clearly sensed spatial powers.
Furthermore, it was a spatial power that was at a higher level than his Singularity Universe and Godfiend Era.

To be able to teleport something from thousands of meters away was no mean feat—it was something Zhou Wen couldn’t do.

Even if he used Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping, he had to leave a mark.
Yet, the black-gray ape had teleported him into its palm.
This was much harder than Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping.

Zhou Wen was a living person with Terror-grade strength—a person who was good at spatial powers.
He wasn’t that easily transported.

Zhou Wen already had plans to fight for his life.
He quickly flew out of the ape claw and grabbed the hilt of Immortal Culling Sword.

However, the black-gray ape had no intention of continuing.
It retracted its claw and returned to the stance of raising the stone artifact with both claws.

This left Zhou Wen taken aback as he thought to himself, What’s the meaning of this? He captured me and ignored me.
Could it be that he feels too bored being trapped here and wants me to stay behind to chat?

“Um… Brother Ape… Do you need any help? Just say the word and I’ll do my best,” Zhou Wen probed the four apes.

No one answered him.
The four apes didn’t seem to hear him at all.
They continued standing there expressionlessly, staring at him as before.

What’s the meaning of this? Don’t you want to talk to me? Could it be that Grim Demon was right? I’m a person who meets the requirements.
I have to contract the Guardian before I can leave? Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and tried to leave the turtle shell again.

The four apes still didn’t stop him, but when he wanted to leave, he was caught by the black-gray ape again.

The black-gray ape’s spatial technique was much better than Zhou Wen and Liu Yun’s.
It was clearly on a higher level.

You aren’t letting me leave, nor do you kill me; yet you allow me to leave the turtle shell.
From the looks of it, it’s very likely that they want me to contract the Guardian… Zhou Wen felt somewhat depressed.

He guessed that once the Guardian was contracted and hatched, the four apes would be liberated.
It wasn’t easy for them to encounter a human that met the requirements, so they had to keep him behind.

“My dear ape brothers, do you want me to contract the Guardian in the cocoon?” Zhou Wen asked again as he stared at them, hoping to figure out something.

However, they remained silent without any expression.
They looked like old monks in meditation.
Apart from staring at Zhou Wen, they didn’t do anything else.

Zhou Wen could tell that the four of them thought nothing of him.
They had no intention of communicating with him.

Since they don’t seem to want me dead, I’ll give it a try.
Zhou Wen left the turtle shell again and flew out from the middle of the four apes.
However, this time, he didn’t escape.
Instead, he flew towards the stone artifact.

When he arrived above the stone artifact, he saw the Guardian cocoon inside with his own eyes.
The Guardian cocoon was also a piece of rock, about the same color as the stone artifact.
If one didn’t look carefully, they would mistake the stone as part of the stone artifact.
