Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1817 Are you coming back for dinner or not?!
Having studied the Black Dragon Restriction from the Barton Islands, he has now accumulated more practical experience and gained a deeper understanding of the restriction.

According to the information provided by Li Ce and his group, the restriction in front of them seems to have only one effect: to create a sandstorm.

It's even possible that it's just a matter of strong winds, and the reason a sandstorm forms is because the location is in the desert.

If that's the case, then in a way it's a clever trick, making good use of the natural environment and enhancing the effect of the restriction without increasing any consumption.

Of course, as clever as it may be, judging from the effect alone, the power of this restriction is undoubtedly far inferior to that of the Black Dragon Restriction.

As soon as Zhou Xu activated his 'Peeping Eyes', a restriction covering an entire area immediately appeared.

Although the number of inscriptions in this restriction doesn't necessarily mean that the more restriction inscriptions there are, the fewer inscriptions there are, which proves that the restriction is indeed not very complicated.

However, due to the considerable area it covered, it took Zhou Xu almost half a month to study this restriction.

"It's done!"

With the last string of restrictive inscriptions being broken, the restriction was completely dispelled, but the soldiers stationed on the outskirts didn't seem to notice anything.

In their eyes, the desert is still the same desert; at first glance, nothing has changed.

But in Zhou Xu's eyes, the restrictions that had covered the entire area had completely dissipated at this moment.

Unlike the black dragon restriction, he had thoroughly studied and understood the restriction before him.

In other words, given enough time and materials, he can set up this restriction himself.

However, another problem has arisen: within their Great Zhou territory, there doesn't seem to be a particularly suitable place to deploy such a celestial-altering restriction.

Just as he had imagined, the restriction created strong winds, which, combined with the desert environment, formed a sandstorm, and also served as an early warning system.

The reason why the undead can use this restriction to cover an entire territory is because the characteristics of the undead race mean that they are not affected by such environmental factors.

But it will have an impact on their Great Zhou army.

Thinking even more deeply, this windy weather could also affect their soldiers' shooting.

As Zhou Xu pondered, he unconsciously frowned.

This matter needs further consideration.

But regardless, let's first take a look at the situation here.

As far as the eye can see, there is only a vast expanse of yellow sand.

The giant eagle rider who went to scout the situation quickly flew back.

"Your Majesty! There are large ruins of ancient buildings in the desert ahead."

Without further ado, Zhou Xu gave the order, and Wei Qing immediately led the main force to advance deeper into the territory.

The immortal king, presumably with a do-or-die mentality, launched an attack on them, sending out his entire army and leaving not a single soldier behind on his territory.

This allowed Zhou Xu and his group to travel almost unimpeded, and they soon arrived at the ruins of the ancient building.

At first glance, all that remains are ruins, and even many stones have weathered away, which shows how many years of erosion this place has endured.

In a daze, Zhou Xu seemed to see a city burning in flames and a figure leaving in a huff, which made him pinch the bridge of his nose.

"His Majesty?"

"I am fine."

Zhou Xu waved his hand.

"Let's go deeper inside and take a look."

The ruins along the way were remnants of the old civilization and weren't particularly interesting, except for the palace in the center, which was still relatively intact. Zhou Xu extended his senses, quickly scanning the entire surrounding area, and finally found a metal box, covered in dust almost an inch thick, deep within the palace.

The brass lock on the box was rotten and would fall off at the slightest touch, and the owner of the box didn't seem to have any intention of replacing the lock.

At the same time, it's easy to see from the thick layer of dust that the box has been abandoned here for many years, and its owner may have forgotten about it.

If he hadn't detected the energy fluctuations inside the box while sensing it, he probably would have missed it too.

Holding my breath, I lifted the box, and an exaggerated cloud of dust instantly filled the entire space in front of me.

Zhou Xu couldn't help but blow a breath, and the black shamanic wind instantly swept away all the dust in the area. Inadvertently, it also cracked the box in front of him, which was already on the verge of falling apart, and the contents inside immediately scattered on the ground.

Upon closer inspection, there were at least eight or nine orbs of light, some of which were quite large.

Zhou Xu quickly waved his hand, and the orbs of light instantly disappeared into his palm, at the same time a system notification sounded...

System notification: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu' for obtaining the mantra 'Mudstone Missile'.

System notification: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu' for obtaining the mantra 'Earth Spike Attack'.

System notification: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu' for obtaining the mantra 'Earth Wall'.

System notification: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu'...

Amidst a series of system notifications, a hint of joy appeared on Zhou Xu's face.

Among the existing elemental spells, Zhou Xu's weakest element at this stage is earth magic, basically only having one move: 'Flying Stone Attack'.

Although it occasionally has a surprising effect and works quite well, it cannot change the fact that he lacks earth-based magic.

This time, it's a direct shipment!
Right off the bat were three fully formed earth-based spells, along with several mantra characters.

[Was that Undying King perhaps an earth mage in his previous life? After becoming undead, his constitution changed, and he could no longer use earth magic, so he was sealed in this box.]

[At first, he probably valued it quite a bit, but as time went on, he realized that these earth-based spells were meaningless to him, so he just left them there and couldn't be bothered to care about them anymore?]

Zhou Xu had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

However, at this moment, it doesn't really matter to him what happened, as long as these truths are now in his hands!

After receiving the mantra, Zhou Xu spread his perception and scanned the surroundings. Just as he was about to leave after confirming that he hadn't missed anything, he suddenly noticed a familiar black sparrow perched on the eaves of the palace.

"Xuanyu!"

Zhou Xu, recognizing his rebellious son, quickly called out.

To everyone's surprise, Xuan Yu flapped its wings and flew away immediately after that shout.

In the past, Zhou Xu would have let him be, since the kid was always wandering around aimlessly all day long anyway.

But now he had too many questions in his mind, so he simply left his body and chased after them.

Why are you running away, you little brat?

Xuan Yu didn't know why he ran away. He just felt his mind was in a mess and he didn't want to face his old father.

With a burst of speed, he left Zhou Xu far behind.

Although the flight speed was very fast after the soul left the body, he was still just a mage. It was really impossible for him to catch up with Xuan Yu at full speed. In the end, he could only watch Xuan Yu's figure fly further and further away!
For a moment, Zhou Xu didn't know what to say, so he simply asked...

"No, are you coming back for dinner or not?!"

"..."
