Alien Dust

Chapter 277: Life-Extending Talisman

When we arrived at the mountain camp, the rain was still falling.

These people had no status in this mountain camp and could only rest in a makeshift stable.

At first, getting caught in the rain was a pleasant thing, but without dry clothes and a comfortable stove, it was quite a torture to wear such cold clothes on your body.

"I'll go get some dry clothes." Seeing that the three female classmates were shivering with cold, Wu Hen got up and left the stable.

"But be careful."

"Yeah, we don't have much ability now."

Wu Hen didn't care. After all, being outgoing was Wu Hen's strong point.

Soon, Wu Hen arrived at the stove where the fire was lit. He did not eat all the smoked mutton, but left some for himself.

After giving some smoked mutton to several servants in the kitchen, Wu Hen started chatting with them.

"Why do we have to cook so much today? There are not many people in our camp. Can we eat it all?" Wu Hen glanced at the huge stove in the tent and asked while chewing on smoked mutton jerky.

"The masters from the Bin Mansion will be here tomorrow morning... Alas, just because of Madam Zeng's words, we, a bunch of living people, have to run to this godforsaken place to suffer. If we can't catch the dream monster, all of us will be whipped ten times!" said the servant in the kitchen camp helplessly.

"Alas, we are the ones who are miserable. Lord Jiang asked us to look for the Sleeping Cliff, but that mysterious place is not so easy to find. My friends and I almost couldn't come back. Now we are punished to live in the stable. I am also very cold, so I ran to your place to warm myself by the fire." Wu Hen also complained with the posture of a small soldier.

"It seems that being a servant in the mansion is not easy. We, the servants, are counting on the opportunity to get good training. Now we have a job just like you. It seems that doing a job can easily lead to our death. It's better for us to chop meat and cook vegetables in the kitchen!" said the kitchen servant.

"We are all slaves under the big guys, trying to make a living but ending up doing life-threatening work. With our mediocre skills, there is no way we can catch the dream demon... By the way, do you have any extra dry clothes? We don't know when the rain will stop. My friend and I are almost frozen to death." Wu Hen said.

While the second half of the sentence was still being said, the expression on the kitchen boy's face changed significantly. He stared at Wu Hen in astonishment, as if he was looking at a spy!
Wu Hen was shocked.

Why is the other person looking at me with such strange eyes?

Did I say something wrong?
Which sentence is wrong?

Wu Hen reviewed what he had just said in a very short time, trying to figure out which part of his description was wrong.

Is it related to the rain?

What's wrong with the rain? What's wrong with what I said?
"Hehe, I was just kidding. How could the rain stop?" Wu Hen forced a smile and patted the other person's shoulder in a nonchalant manner.

The stunned expression on the kitchen servant's face slowly changed and he smiled.

"I thought you were possessed. There are some dry clothes here. If you don't mind the tobacco oil on them, just wear them. You'll end up using them as rags anyway," said the servant.

"Thank you, little brother. If I become successful in the future, I will definitely help you. What do you want to be?" Wu Hen asked.

"Haha, if you really catch the dream demon, you will indeed become rich... If you want to be the steward of the palace, or release your true energy, then you can promote me to be the head chef of your kitchen!" The servant said with a smile, showing a bit of honesty.

Release of true energy?

Wu Hen immediately obtained this key information.

Zhenwu Continent? ?
Is the Zhenwu world outside the edge of desolation?
The externalization of true Qi is a realm of the Zhenwu civilization and a watershed for Zhenwu practitioners. When they first start learning Zhenwu, most Zhenwu practitioners can only circulate the true Qi within their bodies, forming a method similar to the internal force of martial artists.

However, the highest combat effectiveness of this method is only that of a peerless martial arts master. It is impossible to overturn the rivers and seas, and it is also difficult to fly into the sky and escape into the ground.

But after the true Qi is released, it is equivalent to having a small universe, and it is developing towards the level of Xuanwu of cultivation. It can compete with those in the immortal class, and is also not inferior to the powerful and brilliant civilization like the Holy Sect with explosive military power.

"By the way, there is indeed a Zhenwu Floating Land in Chigang. Could it be that he accidentally fell in here, or was exiled there?" Wu Hen couldn't help but think about it.

Obviously, the land where he was standing at the moment was an extremely vast continent. The Zhenwu floating land in Chigang was actually just a small floating land with only a few Zhenwu families on it.

"Let me ask, do you know Du Mao?" Wu Hen couldn't help but ask before leaving.

The kitchen boy shook his head, he had never heard of this name.

Wu Hen just felt a sense of pity.

I thought I had arrived at Du Mao’s hometown.

It seems that the Zhenwu civilization also has many continents, floating in different areas of the alien wasteland. This rain curtain world may not be adjacent to the Zhenwu continent mentioned by Du Mao.

……

Back in the stable, Wu Hen gave dry clothes to his classmates.

"We seem to have wandered to the Zhenwu Continent, and these people are all practicing Zhenwu." Wu Hen said.

"With Zhenwu and monsters, can we kill monsters and level up here?" Wang Rui asked.

"It's not that simple. I feel like if we said something wrong before, we would have been whipped to death by Lord Jiang!" Yang Qin said unhappily. "Yes, I said something wrong just now. Don't mention the rain. This rain may be different from the rain we know." Wu Hen said.

"Oh, oh, I see!" Several people nodded immediately.

There are different climates in the other dimensions. Wang Rui had been to a place where the wind blew from day to night. The "man-eating wind" that appeared from time to time was a fatal challenge for outsiders. If you didn't know how to avoid the "man-eating wind", it would be easy to die suddenly.

Now, the rain is harmless.

But who can say what extreme disasters the rain will cause? The locals know how to avoid being killed by the disasters, but they are not so lucky.

"The combat power of Zhenwu Continent is also very strong. I estimate that their fists can smash warships and their chests can resist rockets. If a nuclear bomb is dropped on them, they can even dance on them!" Wang Rui said.

"Not all real warriors are so exaggerated, right?" Tian Jiabao said.

"Everyone there practices martial arts, and it seems like a big world with a population far exceeding our civilization, possibly reaching hundreds of billions. With hundreds of billions of people practicing martial arts, the real martial arts masters born from them are monsters. Dancing on a nuclear bomb is no exaggeration." Wu Hen said.

"What should we do? We won't get trampled again, right? We have to find a way to get the goddess Nuwa to bypass here." Luo Yuying said.

"How can we possibly get around it? This world may be as big as our solar system... Come to think of it, the Zhenwu Continent is not bad. We can set up a gang or a martial arts alliance, carve out a piece of territory that belongs to us, become a lord, plunder resources, upgrade the skill tree, upgrade the territory, recruit masters and train our own masters, and finally rule one side, expand and multiply!" Wang Rui was a little excited.

"You've read too many fantasy novels. You can level up by killing monsters. Why do we have to work so hard to evolve and get hit by dimensionality reduction from time to time?"

"Yes, we all need to use our brains and compete with other brilliant civilizations. If we anger the masters of this world, they can smash our entire homeland to pieces with one slap!"

Wu Hen felt very relieved listening to his classmates' words.

Although the Zhenwu world is a place where military strength is valued, Wu Hen has heard Du Mao mention that the monsters in their world are very terrifying and cannot be dealt with by force alone. Moreover, their Zhenwu practitioners have a strict hierarchy, with great distinctions between the noble and the humble. A Supreme Martial God is no different from a god and is worshipped by hundreds of millions or even billions of people. These Martial Gods are not merciful people, and when they start killing, the sky and the earth are dyed bloody.

"Aren't they trying to catch the dream monster? If we lead them, wouldn't we be rich and glorious... Hehe, I'm just saying it casually. I'm not an ungrateful snake catcher who will be punished by God!" said Wang Rui.

"Shh, someone is coming." Wu Hen immediately signaled.

Several people immediately shut their mouths and looked around vigilantly.

After a while, the woman in the straw raincoat came over, bringing a clean piece of clothing.

However, the woman in the straw raincoat soon discovered that they had changed into dry clothes and looked a little surprised.

"Come into my tent and talk." The woman in the straw raincoat said to Wu Hen.

"Okay." Wu Hen nodded.

Only then did Wu Hen look at the appearance of the woman in the straw raincoat.

Haha, she is very good-looking, but a little cold. Fortunately, Wu Hen is a very energetic person and can easily melt the iceberg.

Mother Nuwa has always treated Wu Hen well, and this awakening still followed the previous rules!

When you wake up, there must be a woman by your side!

To be honest, Wu Hen felt that Nuwa Shenduan was the one who understood him the best, and the Ming Gu Meng Yao was still lacking something.

There was a stove in the tent of the woman in the straw raincoat. She sat in front of the stove to warm herself up, and her whole body became warm. The jumping and flickering flames lengthened the figures of Wu Hen and the woman, overlapping them on the tent cloth.

"What are your plans next?" asked the woman in the straw raincoat.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Wu Hen said.

"You always treat people around you with kindness, which is actually a bad thing. Your father protected you too well. Now you have taken over a city called Nha Trang from your father. Everyone around you sees you as a fat sheep, but you don't have the ability to protect it..." said the woman in the straw raincoat in the tone of an elder.

"I..." Wu Hen scratched his head.

"You and your friend saw the dream demon, right?" the woman in the straw raincoat suddenly asked.

Wu Hen was stunned for a moment, not understanding how the woman in the straw raincoat knew about this.

“If you bring back the ancient dream demon, you and the people of Yacheng will be able to live in peace for ten years. If you can’t bring it back, you and the people you are supposed to protect will suffer a fate worse than death!” The voice of the woman in the straw raincoat was like cold rain.

Wu Hen took a deep breath.

Are you still the lord of a declining city?

What Wu Hen didn't expect was that the original owner of this habitat would get lost on the edge of the wilderness just to capture the ancient dream demon.

The ancient dream demon is the life-extending talisman for himself and his people.
