Chapter 3596 The Hidden Spirit Lamp And The Hidden Beast

Suspicion grew within Zen as he stood still, analyzing the bite mark on his arm.

It wasn't painful or itchy. It just looked like a harmless gray tattoo.

The dog landed and almost immediately rushed at him again with blinding speed.

Zen leaned back and tried to dodge again, but failed and was bitten on the neck!

There was now a bite mark on his neck as well, neither painful nor itchy.

After being bitten twice, Zen unleashed a burst of strength from his legs and retreated to Elvinia's side.

The dog shadow pulled the black wick straight, roaring at Zen non-stop.

"Zen, are you okay?"

Elvinia grabbed Zen's arm and looked at the gray bite mark.

"It will probably be fine, but I'm afraid these bite marks are not that simple," Zen said with a frown.

He had no fear of these vicious beasts tied to the lamp stands attacking him head on. With the suppressive force of Stage Seventeen present, the creatures in this stage wouldn't be too powerful. He believed he would be able to withstand anything thrown at him.

But these bite marks had given him cause for pause.

"Then... it'd be better to not go in, right?" asked Elvinia.

She didn't know what was going on with the temple. She thought that if it was too dangerous, they should just give up.

"No," Zen replied firmly.

His determination left Elvinia not knowing what to say next.

Zen stood motionless, surveying the lamp stands. As he did so, he asked, "No. 9527, Master Regal Jade, do you have any knowledge of what this is?"

It was naturally much easier for him to know the world considering he had two wise people within his body.

"I did not expect such a strange place to exist in Stage Seventeen. My master has never come into contact with this before," answered No. 9527.

No. 9527 had some memories of Stage Seventeen from its master, but its master had never come here.

The Regal Jade Spirit hesitated for a long while before replying, "This seems to be the Hidden Spirit Lamp. Although it has been a long time, and I've on

it..."

Elvinia looked at him, bewildered, and asked, "What the hell was going on?"

Zen smiled and explained the story of the Hidden Spirit Lamp and the Hidden Beast. On hearing this she said, "So if you're attacked too many times by those Hidden Beasts, they'll leave more and more gray marks which will surely kill you when they finally explode."

"Yes." Zen nodded.

That was why the Regal Jade Spirit had asked him not to put the flame out yet. He wanted him to test the power of the dog's bite and see if he could handle it now and understand it more.

When Zen returned to the desert, the dog crawling stood up once more, trying to pounce on him.

The corner of Zen's mouth curled up slightly, and his legs suddenly jumped with unparalleled strength. He charged towards the lamp stand like a sharp darting arrow!

"Wrrr!"

The dog pounced at Zen as usual.

But this time he had calculated the dog's trajectory. As he rushed forward, he suddenly lowered his body and somersaulted on the ground. He hit the lamp stand with a bang.

It was extremely solid and almost unshakable, but his intention was not to smash it down.

He jumped up and reached out to pinch the black flame.

Swish! Swish...

The moment the black flame was out, the shadow of the dog froze in the air and remained motionless. Now it was an immovable shadow.
