Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 280: Looting the Ancient Tomb
Guo Jing came over from the thatched cottage sighing. Huang Rong stayed beside him, whispering softly to comfort Guo Jing who was in a bad mood.

Seeing them coming, the three teams of reincarnations kept silent tacitly and said no more.

As he approached, Guo Jing suppressed his worry and said to Wen Lie, "I'm planning to stay at the Quanzhen Sect. I wonder if Brother Wen has anything else to say?"

Guo Jing was not at all confident about Wen Lie and his group, so he had to find out what Wen Lie and his group were trying to do before leaving.

"Private matter."

Wen Lie's answer was too direct, and Guo Jing was stunned, not knowing how to react.

Huang Rong smiled and said, "I wonder if my husband and I can help. The Taoist priest from Quanzhen Sect is my husband's teacher, and Miss Long from the Ancient Tomb Sect is my nephew's teacher. No matter what the matter is, we can talk to them."

Zheng Zha looked at Wen Lie helplessly.

Are you speaking too directly?
Although I knew Wen Lie couldn't speak since our first horror movie meeting, I felt that his problem was getting worse.

Zheng Zha said politely, "Please don't mind me. We are just passing by and want to rest for a while before heading to Mount Hua."

"I see. If you come to Xiangyang next time, please allow my wife and I to treat you well. I will take my leave today."

Zheng Zha gave her a way out, and Huang Rong didn't want to continue pestering him. She pulled Guo Jing's sleeve and said goodbye to the Zhongzhou team.

Neos, Gunnier and others had no reason to stay.

After watching the outsiders leave, Zhan Lan suddenly asked, "We don't seem to know the strength of the South Flame Continent and North Ice Continent teams. They helped Guo Jing defend the city for half a year. Even if their strength is not as good as ours, they still have their own unique strengths."

This alliance is not the superficial alliance like last time. It is a secret plan and does not understand the direction of strengthening of the allies, which is not conducive to team battles.

"I'll ask you later, though I don't think it's very useful to know. The Tianshen team starts with A-level enhancements and a second-order gene lock, while the Zhongzhou team starts with BB-level enhancements and a first-order gene lock. If we fight, what help can the two teams with half a year's difference in strength provide?"

Wen Lie shrugged and didn't care.

Of course, he actually had a good idea of ​​the strength of the two teams.

The North Ice Continent team, Gunnir, second-order gene lock, enhanced frost fruit, at most AA level, self-created skill · Frost Age.

The other few, one uses a spear, one uses a crossbow, one strengthens the magic network, one is a druid, and one is a healer. Even if their strength is stronger than that of the Lord of the Rings period, it is not much stronger.

As for the Nanyanzhou team, since the captain went to the God Team, they may not have a second-level reincarnation. Neos may have AA-level three-eyed bloodline, but if he does not know how to develop it and does not have a gene lock, his combat effectiveness is probably not as good as Xiao Honglu.

Hoffer opened the first-level gene lock, and the enhanced Thunder Fruit should be at A-level.

The Berserker created by Richard is quite good, with regular second-level combat power.

Rose, Manini, and Aya can only be praised for their mutual destruction, but the contract written in the Styx Oath Document does not allow for the arrangement of suicide missions.

With the strength of those two teams, they can at most trap one third-level combat force, and one fourth-level combat force can be wiped out without any injuries.

If the Heavenly God Team had not been wiped out by the clone Zheng Zha, there would be at least three level four members now.

By then, it will be a fight between gods, and these two teams may not be able to intervene. At most, they can stop the Mongolian army.

Zheng Zha asked, "So where are we going next? To Mount Hua to stop Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng from perishing together? Or should we go somewhere else first?"

Zhao Yingkong said murderously, "Let's go to Xiangyang first. The plot of The Return of the Condor Heroes is centered in Xiangyang, and Zhao Zhuikong won't be far away. Kill him first to prevent him from causing trouble when we fight the Celestial Gods."

Wen Lie bent his finger and flicked it towards Zhao Yingkong's forehead.

Zhao Yingkong tilted his head back and glared at Wen Lie angrily.

"What are you doing again?"

"Calm down for a moment. In your current state, going to Zhao Zhuikong is like asking for death."

Zhao Yingkong's murderous aura paused.

Wen Lie said, "Don't think that just because we killed Zhao Zhuikong once, he's really weak. Zhao Zhuikong during the Resident Evil 2 era might have been even stronger than Zheng Zha is now. We first consumed Zhao Zhuikong's strength and then made him lose control of his mind before we could successfully kill him. Zhao Zhuikong from the East American team is no weaker than Zhao Zhuikong from the Demon Team. If we want to kill him, we have to make him lose his composure. This needs to be considered carefully."

Zhao Yingkong knew that what Wen Lie said was correct. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tried to calm her emotions.

Zheng Zha asked: "So what do we do next?"

Wen Lie said, "Of course, we need to collect martial arts. Let's go to the ancient tomb first. I remember that the martial arts of the ancient tomb sect are all engraved on the wall. There is also a cold jade bed that can increase the speed of cultivation tenfold. It is the second chapter of the Nine Yin Manual. After obtaining the martial arts and the cold jade bed, we can ask Yang Guo for the Quanzhen Dao Song and Quanzhen Sword Technique. If we help him deal with the Quanzhen Sect, he will not refuse."

Zheng Zha nodded silently.

Martial arts are indeed the key. If he can acquire martial arts at the level of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, his strength will be further improved before he officially fights against the God Team.

Zhang Guangyan couldn't help but ask, "Captain, can we learn martial arts?"

Li Shi and Ai Nana also looked at Wen Lie, their eyes filled with expectations that were difficult to conceal.

Wen Lie asked noncommittally, "Which do you want to learn, martial arts or curse power?"

Li Shi asked doubtfully, "I know martial arts, but what is curse power? Which is better, martial arts or curse power?"

Qi Tengyi explained, "Cursed power is the power system we learned in the last horror film. By adjusting the brain, people gain the ability to extract energy from negative emotions. Compared to martial arts... martial arts require experienced people to expend their own internal energy and spend half a year to help you open up your meridians. Then you learn internal skills and techniques from scratch. The upper limit is very high, but it also takes a lot of time. As for cursed power, it can be used with a simple adjustment and can also gain skills similar to superpowers, but the upper limit is one level lower than martial arts."

Chu Xuan said calmly, "If you choose martial arts, we can help you find a decent sect and ask a master to open up your meridians. For the next three years, you will practice martial arts in that sect."

Li Shi asked, "In other words, spells can quickly improve combat effectiveness, but the upper limit is not high. Martial arts have a high upper limit, but it takes half a year to get started?"

Wen Lie said, "Let's put it this way. If you want to take risks, choose spells. You can become combat-ready in a month. With the props we developed, you can be a mainstay in a team like the South Flame Continent Team or the North Ice Continent Team. If you want to play it safe, you can learn martial arts, avoid fighting, and hide for three years."

Li Shi hesitated.

Zhang Guangyan immediately expressed his attitude.

"We want to learn martial arts from the Ancient Tomb Sect and the Quanzhen Sect. We don't want to cause you any trouble. Just find a sect for us to settle in."

Although Ai Nana was in conflict with Zhang Guangyan, she did not refute after Zhang Guangyan made his choice, but just rolled her eyes at him.

Afterwards, Li Shi also made a decision.

He said in a deep voice: "I choose cursed power." As for learning martial arts, the Zhongzhou team does not intend to waste their energy and will send the newcomers to the sect.

It seems safe, but in fact there is no guarantee at all. The sect that can be bribed by the Zhongzhou team will not be a very powerful one. If you are unlucky and encounter the Mongolian army or the Tianshen team, you will be dead.

Moreover, it takes several years to gain combat effectiveness, which is equivalent to not being able to do anything in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes. It also means that you cannot get side plots and cannot be strengthened.

In this case, it would be better to sacrifice the distant future in exchange for current strength.

Wen Lie said, "Qi Tengyi, you'll be responsible for helping Li Shi adjust his brain. Zhan Lan, have you found the location of the Tomb Sect?"

Haotian showed a dumbfounded expression: "Huh? Don't you need my opinion?"

Zheng Zha patted Haotian on the shoulder and said with a wry smile, "Newcomer, listen to my advice. Don't even think about having a second energy circulation system. Otherwise, the two energies will conflict with each other, and you won't be able to exert much strength at all."

"That's such a shame! I still want to learn the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, haha!"

As Haotian spoke, he demonstrated the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, like a high school student who has not yet entered the third year of high school, full of energy.

"I'm sorry, you'll just have to watch us learn."

Zheng Zha smiled and felt a little closer to Haotian.

Among these boys who grew up watching Jin Yong's martial arts dramas, who hasn't imitated the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?

As they were talking, Zhan Lan had already found the location of the Ancient Tomb Sect. Everyone walked up the mountain, and a moment later, they arrived at the entrance of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

The Dragon-Breaking Stone had been placed at the entrance of the Tomb Sect. It looked like just two huge rocks. Zheng Zha went up and pushed them, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"This stone is quite heavy. It's definitely not as light as ten thousand pounds."

As he spoke, black blood flames emanated from Zheng Zha's palms.

The blood flame attached to the Broken Dragon Stone. The intense high temperature and corrosiveness melted the surface of the Broken Dragon Stone. The stone slid off like grease, but only a shallow layer remained.

This Dragon-Breaking Stone is indeed very strong. Judging from the current progress, even Zheng Zha would need more than ten minutes to burn a big hole in it. It is unknown what material it is made of.

"Get out of the way, I'll do it."

Wen Lie pulled Zheng Zha away, his eyes lit up, and two laser beams shot out from his pupils and hit the Dragon-Breaking Stone.

The light beam gradually penetrated deeper, and after a few seconds, Wen Lie felt that the laser had penetrated the Dragon-Breaking Stone. He immediately shifted his gaze, and the two laser beams drew a large circle on the Dragon-Breaking Stone. When the laser disappeared from Wen Lie's eyes, Cheng Xiao kicked the stone, and a huge round stone separated from the Dragon-Breaking Stone and fell into the ancient tomb.

After entering the ancient tomb, Zhan Lan led everyone to a stone chamber.

The stone chamber is narrow in front and wide in the back, forming a trapezoid. It is semi-circular on the east side and triangular on the west side. The stone slabs on the ceiling are engraved with various patterns and symbols, all of which were carved with sharp weapons, some deep and some shallow, with no rules. They are all Quanzhen martial arts, including sword techniques, palm techniques, and light skills, but the only thing missing is the internal strength.

Everyone's intelligence and mental strength were at least several times higher than that of an ordinary person, but it was still difficult for them to remember all the symbols at once. Zhu Wen, Lingdian, Ba Wang and others even made themselves dizzy.

Only Zhan Lan, Qi Tengyi and Xiao Honglu can work together to record these martial arts on paper first.

"Good stuff. I need a month to practice Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian, Subduing Demons Seal, and Spiral Nine Shadows."

Zheng Zha walked to the deepest stone chamber and stared at the Nine Yin Scriptures on the stone slab on the ceiling, his face full of joy.

Although Wang Chongyang only left the second volume of the Nine Yin Scriptures in the ancient tomb, he only needs to practice three skills to increase his strength several times.

"A month? That depends on whether Team Tianshen gives us that much time. However, this mission is very long, and Team Tianshen probably won't be thinking of deciding the outcome in one battle. It would be best not to reveal that someone on Team Zhongzhou has strengthened their internal energy."

Wen Lie smashed the stone slab on the ceiling without hesitation. Song Tian from the God Team also seemed to have strengthened his internal strength system so that these martial arts would not help him.

"Wen Lie, Zheng Zha, this cold jade bed is amazing."

Cheng Xiao ran over excitedly, carrying a long bluestone on his shoulder. He was shivering but still smiling.

"I originally thought that since I had already established my foundation, the Cold Jade Bed would be useless to me. Who knew that this Cold Jade Bed would be effective for more than just internal energy?"

Wen Lie, Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan and others all reached out to touch it, and at the same time, the voice of the Lord God sounded in everyone's ears.

"Obtained a plot item... The Cold Jade Bed, the most yin and cold object in the world. Sitting or lying on it will naturally clear your inner fire. Those whose physical strength has not reached the fourth level will be corroded by the cold and yin energy if they use the Cold Jade Bed. They must circulate energy to resist the effects."

Cheng Xiao said cheerfully, "Although I don't know what the fourth level of physical strength is, my body can't withstand the cold air of this cold jade bed."

"It's useless to me. My physical strength is level four. Take my body for reference."

Wen Lie put down his arms, feeling a little unhappy.

He has no use for his martial arts secrets or the cold jade bed, and he can only watch others enjoy the benefits of the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Chu Xuan saw through Wen Lie's mood at a glance, adjusted his glasses, and said calmly: "In the world of Jin Yong's martial arts, some hard skills do not rely on internal strength, and some martial arts are mainly based on skills. You can take the essence of them and use them for your own benefit."

"There is no martial art that can be effective at my level that doesn't rely on internal energy."

Wen Lie shook his head. He was just unhappy for the moment and didn't intend to force it.

He follows the path of using force to defeat ten skills. Holy artifact crushing and holy weapon, ripple qigong and superhuman bloodline, which one does not use pure strength to kill the enemy?

It's not a top-level martial art and is of little use to him.

After looting all the valuable things from the Tomb Sect, everyone left the tomb and came to the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain where Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu lived.

Yang Guo knew the purpose of Wen Lie and others' visit, and agreed very readily. He was not worried at all that Wen Lie would know the Quanzhen Heart Method and whether it would be leaked out and detrimental to the Quanzhen Sect.

In other words, he would be happier if Wen Lie could use the Quanzhen Heart Method to harm the Quanzhen Sect.

At this point, the only benefits that can be obtained in Zhongnan Mountain are Xiantian Gong and Tiangang Beidou Formation.

It takes seven people to set up the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation. For the Zhongzhou team, it is not as good as the combined power of the Five Ugly Men of Tibet.

The stronger the innate skill is, the stronger it is. No one in Quanzhen Sect can learn it, not to mention that the main skill everyone practices is the AA-level Wuji Hundun Jue, and there is no shortage of internal strength.

So, the Zhongzhou team left Zhongnan Mountain and headed for Huashan Mountain.
