Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 25: A fourth-level boss educates a newbie?
Wen Lie said calmly, "I was just sitting there with nothing to do and was thinking about something. A thought flashed through my mind: if someone comes over while I'm taking a shower, who would that person be?"

"Who do you think it could be?"

At the stone pillar dozens of meters away, Zhao Yingkong folded his arms across his chest, leaned his back against it, and looked at Wen Lie coldly.

"It's either Zhang Jie or Qin Zhuiyu."

Wen Lie covered his head with a towel to prevent sand from getting on his wet hair.

Zhao Yingkong murmured softly: "Zhang Jie?"

A hint of confusion flashed across Zhao Yingkong's eyes.

She could guess why Qin Zhuiyu was looking for Wen Lie.

But what is the connection between Zhang Jie and Wen Lie?
Wen Lie asked, "Is there something wrong? I don't think you're here to peek at me taking a shower."

Zhao Yingkong stared at Wen Lie without saying a word. After more than ten seconds, she sighed.

"Don't you realize it yourself?"

Wen Lie rolled his eyes and said, "A few days ago, I realized something. If you don't tell others about something, they won't understand."

Zhao Yingkong said bluntly: "You are not in good shape."

"I'm out of shape?"

Wen Lie thought what Zhao Yingkong said was very funny, and he was already in the mood.

He quickly integrated into the team, actively made suggestions, used his foresight advantage to gain strength, and practiced with Zhao Yingkong and Zheng Zha every day.

He's not in shape? Who else could be in shape better than him?
"You can't scream like that just to heal a dislocation..."

“Because it really hurts!”

"If there's sand on your body, you need to take a shower..."

"Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable with sand and sweat mixed together?"

When Zhao Yingkong saw Wen Lie's matter-of-fact expression, he confirmed his guess.

Instead of continuing to accuse Wen Lie of having no sense of crisis, no self-awareness as a reincarnation, and being pampered, Zhao Yingkong pointed out the most fundamental problem.

"Zheng Zha feels that you are different from me. After entering the main divine space, you quickly integrated into the team and adjusted your mentality. Although you have a little mysophobia, it is harmless."

Just now when Wen Lie came over to take a shower, Zhang Jie complained about him during the chat, and this was Zheng Zha's response.

Zhao Yingkong naturally disagreed with Zheng Zha's opinion, otherwise he would not be waiting for Wen Lie here.

Another person who disagreed with this view was Zero, who voted in favor when she proposed the idea of ​​chopping off Wen Lie and the other newcomers' limbs and leaving them there.

As killers, they could see that Wen Lie was not in harmony.

However, the two did not openly oppose Zheng Zha's views. What they can see does not mean that others will agree with it if they say it out loud.

In response to Zhao Yingkong's statement, Wen Lie asked curiously, "Isn't it?"

Zhao Yingkong sneered: "So you really think so?"

Wen Lie asked impatiently, "What are you going to say?"

"Your mentality is not what you think it is, but a player's mentality. Pulling your thoughts away from horror movies may seem positive, but in fact, you are looking at the world from an outsider's perspective."

Zhao Yingkong looked at Wen Lie coldly, her gaze giving him the impression that she was looking down on him from a higher platform. Her words amused Wen Lie. On the surface, this was the mentality a fourth-tier expert should have when teaching a newbie a lesson. But in reality… come on, if Lingdian had said these words, it wouldn't have been done this way. However, Lingdian wasn't that arrogant.

Speaking of which, in the last horror movie, Zhao Yingkong also taught Zheng Zha how to be a captain.

"On the surface, you seem to get along well with Zheng Zha and the others, but in reality, you just treat them as NPCs, or characters in a dream. Your self-introduction suggests you're not the type to socialize with others, yet your interactions with Zheng Zha and the others are seamless, or rather, not polite at all. This is because you don't care what the NPCs think, and you don't worry about any resistance, so you say whatever comes to mind."

"..."

Discovered?

"I've killed many people like you. Some people see being a killer as a cool profession, and with a desire for excitement and coolness in mind, they rashly join the profession. Other people's lives seem insignificant to them. Only when they truly face death do they feel the weight of life and begin to feel fear and regret for becoming a killer."

"Continue with this mentality and you'll die."

The sharp gaze was like a sharp knife in Zhao Yingkong's palm, making people's hair stand on end.

Then, in a fleeting moment, Zhao Yingkong vanished into the darkness, leaving Wen Lie alone, savoring the novelty of being criticized by the Zhongzhou team's Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Child. However...

"Is what I showed so obvious?"

The next day, Eve and others unearthed Ansuna's mummy and the location of the Golden Book of the Sun.

"The Golden Sun Sutra must be right here... Look at the statue's base, it's actually made of gold. I'd never believe it if you said it wasn't there!"

Somewhere in the catacombs, next to the statue of the sun god, Jonathan was lying on the ground, caressing the base of the statue of the sun god like he was caressing his lover. That large piece was actually golden. Jonathan said responsibly that it must be gold!
Eve climbed up, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and said helplessly, "The Golden Sun Sutra is down here, but getting it out is a bit troublesome. There seems to be a strange combination lock underneath that can only be opened by cracking it. Using brute force will destroy the Golden Sun Sutra. Moreover, the combination lock seems to be blocked."

"Combination lock? Let me try."

Zheng Zha squatted down beside Eve, and a red flame shot out from his fingertips, burning towards the base of the statue of the sun god.

"boom!"

The golden base burst into a brilliant light, and the red flame was swallowed by the golden light. This light came with a substantial impact force, which bounced Zheng Zha away.

The back of Zheng Zha's head hit the wall, his brain was buzzing, and he looked at the statue of the sun god in front of him with a confused look on his face.

Eve, O'Connor and others were also shocked by Zheng Zha's performance.

"It looks like there's some kind of magical barrier."

Xiao Honglu squatted calmly on the side.

He had guesses about what would happen to Zheng Zha when he took action.

The Lord God did not restrict the early removal of the Golden Sun Sutra, so there must be some protection mechanism in the Golden Sun Sutra itself.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this barrier will not disappear until Imhotep is truly resurrected, right?"

"Then let's prepare to resurrect Imhotep. The day after tomorrow, at dawn, when the sun comes out," Zheng Zha stood up, holding the back of his head, and made a decision. "Based on my experience in the first three missions, we can't delay it too long, otherwise it will become increasingly dangerous. The day after tomorrow will be the tenth day. If it's any longer, who knows what will happen."

Ansuna's mummy was obtained, the location of the Golden Book of the Sun was confirmed, the spells of the first few pages of the Black Book of the Dead were translated, and the effects of Grave Digger and Hell's Vitality were also tested.

The ancient corpses will continue to exist until they are lifted from the summons, but the number of ancient corpses summoned seems to depend on the strength of the mental power. Zheng Zha has twice the mental power of an ordinary person, but can only control two ancient corpses.

As for the Hell Vitality, up to 100% of the energy can be injected into the ancient corpse, which increases the energy by five times. The energy will decrease during combat, and will decrease at an extremely slow rate when not in combat.

The preparations are already very thorough.

So, in the early morning of the third day, when the sun rose from the end of the desert, Eve, who had accepted the mission of resurrecting the ancient demon and completely destroying it by the Central Plains team, opened the first page of the Black Book of the Dead.
