Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 133 Treasure
After Tu Rong walked away, Zhang Xinglie smiled and said, "You are also a brother now."

"I guess Tu Rong recognized you, and Mark and the others didn't want to offend Huahong Development Company. So many people died, but they wanted to negotiate peace. They must have big ambitions." Zhou Leng said.

Zhang Xinglie nodded and said, "Yes, I just thought of that. Do you still remember the treasure map you confiscated?"

"Of course. Their target may be the treasure of the Mountain Forge."

"do you want to go?"

Zhou Leng shook his head and said, "Mountain Furnace is too famous. His status and reputation among the Iron Dwarves is equivalent to that of the Three Saints of Mount Tai plus the Martial Ancestor Yu Zhimin. His treasure is eyed by countless people, and it is extremely dangerous. We are so weak that there is no need to fight for it."

"Yes, taking what you want and giving up what you don't want has always been Zhao Sheng's principle in martial arts and life." Zhang Xinglie said.

Zhou Leng saw another figure approaching from the corner of his eye and whispered, "Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Pi is here, the people from Zhao Sheng's family are here."

Zhang Xinglie looked over and saw Zhao Le walking towards him.

Zhao Le smiled and said, "Zhang Xinglie, I came to you specifically to tell you something. Can we find a place where no one is around to talk?"

Zhang Xinglie said: "This is my brother. We don't need to avoid him when we are talking to each other."

Zhao Le was stunned and said, "Isn't he the friend you mentioned last time?"

Zhang Xinglie said: "That's him."

Zhao Le took a closer look at Zhou Leng and said with emotion, "I invited Zhang Xinglie to the banquet that day, but he said that he didn't have time to go because he wanted to help you. Your friendship is enviable."

Zhou Leng knew that Zhang Xinglie helped him, but he didn't know that he gave up the banquet for him.

Zhao Le then smiled and said, "What happened in the past is in the past. I am here on behalf of the Lou family and the Zhao family. I would like to invite you to join me in exploring the ancient king's treasure in the furnace of the mountains. What do you think?"

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie looked at each other. They didn't expect that this group of people were also coming for the ancient king's treasure.

Zhang Xinglie said: "I am only in the middle stage of physical training, and going to the ancient king's treasure will not be of much help."

Zhao Le laughed and said, "You really don't know?"

The two were silent.

Zhao Le continued, "In fact, this is not a secret. You will know it once you enter the city. The treasure of the ancient king of the dwarf tribe is a treasure trove on the surface, but in fact it is a place where the ancient kings test the descendants of the dwarves."

"Different ancient kings set different conditions. For example, the upper limit of this ancient king treasure of the Mountain Furnace is the late stage of body refining, and those in the vitality stage will not be allowed to enter."

"It is said that there were too many treasures of the ancient kings before, and the weaker dwarves could not get the trial. The Mountain Forge is the master of the revival of the dwarf race, and he believes that young dwarves are more important, so he lowered the conditions and prohibited overly strong dwarves from entering."

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie's hearts were pounding.

Zhao Le continued, "Although the leader this time is Lou Feiqiong of the Lou family, many of them are from the Zhao family branch. If you can join, you can be a core member and participate in the distribution. After the matter is accomplished, you can be recommended to the Zhao family."

Hearing the name Lou family, Zhou Leng’s eyes grew colder.

Zhang Xinglie asked: "Is there a gap between core members and ordinary members?"

"Differs greatly."

"What about my friend?"

"As long as he reaches the middle stage of body refining, he can become a core member with you." Zhao Le glanced at Zhou Leng with a kind smile.

"I'm only in the late stage of blood circulation." Zhou Leng said.

Zhao Le said helplessly: "Then there is no other way, you can be an ordinary member."

"Can't we make an exception?" Zhang Xinglie asked.

Zhao Le said: "The core members are all descendants of the Zhao family. Those hired are not qualified to become core members even if they are in the late stage of body refining."

Zhang Xinglie shook his head and said, "Forget it, we both came here together, so we can't tell who's better."

Zhao Le sighed and said, "You are still so loyal. You have qualified for the elite training camp on your own. You are indeed capable. However, the invitation to the Ten Realms Youth Tournament is probably beyond your ability."

"Hmm?" Zhang Xinglie stared at Zhao Le.

Zhao Le smiled and said, "Lou Feiqiong and you are in different classes at Yunhua, but he has always been paying attention to you. If you are willing to help him this time, regardless of success or failure, he is willing to continue to cooperate with you and help you get an invitation to the Ten Realms Youth Tournament. What do you think?"

Zhou Leng asked: "How much is the invitation to the Ten Realms Youth Tournament worth?"

"Unlike ordinary training camp qualifications, this thing, once the name is decided, cannot be bought or sold at all, because it needs to record the martial arts aura. If you have to talk about the value, it is ten times that of Yunhua's elite training camp."

Zhang Xinglie asked: "What's the price?"

Zhao Le smiled and said, "There is no price, it's just cooperation. Because Lou Feiqiong thinks you are a good friend who values loyalty, and he wants to make friends with you."

"I don't want to hear clichés. I don't have much emotional intelligence." Zhang Xinglie said bluntly.

Zhao Le remained calm and said, "Many things depend on how you look at them. If you think helping Lou Feiqiong is a price, then that is a price. If you think helping him is a collaborative progress, or even a step to heaven, then that is a step to heaven."

Zhang Xinglie frowned.

Zhou Leng said coldly: "What good things are there in this ancient king's treasure?"

"The ancient king's treasure of the Mountain Furnace has a lot of treasures. Because the descendants of the Mountain Furnace are the strongest ancient king family, they often offer sacrifices and send in treasures."

"Magic potions, gems, gold, magic metals, unknown treasures, inheritance... everything."

"Of course, the most important thing is the legendary Eye of the Ancient God."

"Legend has it that the reason Mountain Forge was promoted to Ancient King was because he obtained the Eye of the Ancient God. It was also with the Eye of the Ancient God that he strengthened the ancestral protection of the dwarves and allowed all dwarves to evolve into Iron Dwarves."

"However, the Eye of the Ancient God was lost later. No one can tell where it is."

"As long as we obtain the Eye of the Ancient God and hand it over to the Dwarf Tribe, we will gain unimaginable benefits."

Zhou Leng asked: "What exactly is the Eye of the Ancient God?"

Zhao Le shook his head and said, "I don't know. I only know that it is the treasure of the dwarf world. There are two of them, one in the hands of the dwarves and one in the hands of the orcs, but they were both lost in the end. It is probably a treasure unique to this world, and it is useless for other tribes to take it."

Zhou Leng said: "Let's think about it again, how about that? After all, it will take some time before the ancient king's treasure is opened, right?"

"Okay, then you two can think about it again. You can contact me anytime within 200 meters. See you later." Zhao Le shook the magic watch in his hand and turned to leave. When Zhao Le walked away, Zhou Leng asked, "What do you think?"

"Tempted?"

"Of course I am tempted. My goal is to obtain the identity of a dwarf and even a title. If I really want to get the Eye of the Ancient God, I will definitely be knighted. Then, it will be much easier to choose the giant trial we want."

"Do you want to join the Lou family's team?"

"I don't want to." Zhou Leng said.

Zhang Xinglie spread his hands and said, "I don't want to either."

"Then let's try to find a more reliable team, or go in alone. I have an iron dwarf friend. If the ancient king's treasure is really that important, he will definitely participate. We can find a way to contact him."

"The...Melting Hammer in the Heavenly Stage?"

"Correct."

"it is good."

The team traveled for another two days, and a huge volcano stood ahead.

The billowing black smoke rose straight into the sky, condensing into an umbrella-like dark cloud, covering the sky.

Under the night sky, a city was built around the volcano, with lights shining continuously.

The caravan slowly entered the city.

After entering the city, the two separated from the Huahong caravan and strolled along the bustling commercial streets of the Fiery Furnace.

The buildings here are rough and thick, built with huge square stones, which is very different from humans.

Except for a few places with bright neon lights, most of the commercial street was lit by oil lamps.

In addition to the dwarves, the commercial street also has some human and wizard shops, and even scattered giant, dragon and treeman shops.

As they walked, they saw a red light hanging high in front of them. Several dwarves with handsome faces and scantily clad clothes were standing at the door, waving and calling out to them.

The two looked at each other, turned around and walked away quickly.

"That dwarf has more chest hair than me. At first glance, I thought there were two heads hidden in his chest." Zhang Xinglie said.

"You people in Xiongcheng are used to the wind and waves, so you can see the local scenery. We people in Rucheng won't go."

"No, no, no, I'll give you this opportunity to broaden your horizons..."

The two of them joked as they slipped away.

The two continued to stroll around, Zhou Leng looked at his watch from time to time, but there was still no news about the smelting hammer.

Along the way, the two ate some local delicacies, bought some small items, and found a hotel to sleep in late at night.

Early the next morning, the two men walked to the tavern next to the hotel and ordered ten camel beef sets and two monster meat sets.

Soon, the sets of meals arrived one after another.

It consists of camel beef, boiled beans, vegetable soup, baked potatoes and baked carrots.

By the time the two had finished eating, most of the tavern's guests had left.

Only four or five iron dwarves had drunk too much morning wine and were sleeping soundly on the table.

Teeth grinding, talking in sleep, snoring, everything is available.

"Check out the bill." Zhou Leng said loudly in fairly fluent dwarven language.

An Iron Dwarf waiter came over and said with a smile: "We accept Volcano Coins and..."

Zhou Leng threw out a piece of orange gold.

The waiter hurriedly caught it with both hands, smiling widely.

"One orange gold is worth 6357 Volcano Coins. The two of you spent 6300 Volcano Coins on your meal, so you actually received 3700 Volcano Coins. Wait a moment, I'll give you ."

"Okay." Zhou Leng said.

The waiter walked away.

Zhang Xinglie asked: "You speak Dwarven so well? I only half understand what you are saying."

"In the past few months, I found time to learn the languages of various ethnic groups." Zhou Leng said.

Thanks to the study of divine texts, one can quickly master various languages.

Soon, the waiter came over and handed out a row of long and flat volcano coins, the size of a lighter, all black, with the shape of a volcano imprinted on them, three large and seven small.

Zhou Leng threw a volcano coin worth 100 to the waiter and said, "We want to get some information. Where should we go?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Of course it's the tavern. We dwarves drink at least three times a day. When we're drunk, we'll say anything. If you want to ask anything, just come to me."

"Really?"

"of course."

Zhou Leng pushed the other volcano coins slightly outward and said, "As long as you say it well, these are all yours."

"You asked."

"Do you know someone called Melt Hammer?"

"There are at least eight hundred furnaces called the Molten Hammers, if not a thousand."

"Molten Hammer, Lava Mountain." Zhou Leng said.
