Chinese Superman

Chapter 111 Superman Descends to Another World!

The witch coughed up blood and slumped backward, leaning weakly against the chair back.

With trembling hands, she grabbed the half-pearl of pine nut that Old Qian had just handed her, put it in her mouth, and closed her eyes to regulate her breathing.

Xia Xinghan looked at the shattered tortoise shell, his heart sinking, his face turning grim: "The tortoise shell—it's cracked? This—could this be a terrible omen?"

Historically, during the Shang Dynasty, divination involved burning tortoise shells and animal bones, and the shape and direction of these cracks were considered omens.

The tortoise shell shattered—it certainly didn't look like a good omen.

At this moment, after a short while of recuperation, the witch, whose complexion had slightly recovered, opened her eyes. Hearing Xia Xinghan's words, she rolled her eyes in annoyance, her voice weak but very certain: "It's auspicious, isn't it?"

"what?"

Xia Xinghan was taken aback.

"I say, great fortune!"

The old witch sat up abruptly, repeating herself in a suddenly raised voice, then leaned back in her chair, panting, "Lord Martial Ancestor has a strong destiny, abundant blessings, and prosperous fortune. His safe return is a given."

Xia Xinghan:

'

""

If it's already auspicious, why add a "bar"?

How uncivilized!

But it's not just slightly auspicious, it's extremely auspicious.

In other words—there is absolutely no danger!

"That—this tortoise shell—" Xia Xinghan pointed to the fragments.

"When the tortoise shell reaches its limit and can no longer withstand the omens revealed in the divination, it naturally cracks."

The witch explained, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary.

"This armor has been used too many times, lacking in inherent strength, and this time it has been completely exhausted. The crack is its fate, and has nothing to do with your fortune."

As she spoke, she took out the other half of the pine nut and swallowed it, and her complexion improved slightly.

Xia Xinghan nodded, secretly surprised.

The method of acquiring the oracle bones from Yin Ruins comes at a terrible price, directly burning the life force of the person wielding the weapon. No wonder it is not easily used.

But if its essence is exhausted and it completely cracks, wouldn't that mean the [Oracle Bones of Yin Ruins] is gone? Fortunately, it didn't turn on its owner and kill him.

Mr. Qian explained in a low voice, "There are numerous oracle bones from Yin Ruins, tens of thousands of which have been unearthed, of which more than three thousand have been recovered. The quantity of tortoise shells and animal bones is sufficient."

Upon hearing this, the witch beside her snorted twice, her tone tinged with self-mockery and sarcasm: "Enough tortoise shells? I'm afraid my old life won't be enough!"

"Every divination I do shortens my lifespan. If it weren't for these worthless heirlooms and responsibilities, I should have been lying in the sun waiting to die long ago."

Faced with the witch's complaints, Mr. Qian could only smile wryly.

"You've had a tough time, witch."

"I observe that the old witch is old and frail, her blood and energy depleted, and she is still trapped in the mortal realm, unable to break free from the shackles of her acquired physical body. Therefore, I offer her Enlightenment Tea and the Immaculate Fruit of Concentration and Wisdom, which can help the old witch attain the Great Innate Realm and extend her life by a hundred years!"

As Xia Xinghan spoke, he took out the Enlightenment Tea and the Immaculate Fruit of Concentration and Wisdom from the treasure box and placed them on the stone table.

"A spiritual fruit—a celestial treasure!?"

One second the witch was like a wilted eggplant, the next she was like she'd been injected with chicken blood, her eyes wide open, staring intently at the stone table, as if afraid that the fairy treasure would grow legs and run away.

Normally, Jia Zhi is unaware of information about the spiritual fruits and immortal treasures, but the witch's situation is special because she came into contact with the Rejuvenating Pine Seeds, so she also knows about the existence of these special resources.

"You—Lord Martial Ancestor—are you really going to give this to me?"

The witch's throat went dry, and she swallowed.

This is a special resource that can only be unlocked by those who have made extraordinary contributions, and it is only rewarded by those who have made extraordinary contributions. The other party just gave it away like that. He is so rich and generous. No, he is so rich that he is inhuman!

If it weren't for the special nature of her relics, which required burning one's life force to use their mystical powers, one wouldn't even have been able to touch the shell of the Rejuvenating Pine Nut.

"nature."

Xia Xinghan smiled.

Spiritual fruits and rare delicacies are easy to obtain. Not enough? We can always go to the countryside to harvest more.

The powerful families hoard grain, I hoard guns; the powerful families are my good granary.

The old witch's eyes lit up, and she quickly accepted the celestial treasure with both hands, saying with a smile, "Thank you very much, Martial Ancestor. I won't stand on ceremony."

"If you ever need my help in the future, just ask. I'll go through fire and water for you!"

After saying that, the old woman gave Mr. Qian a disdainful look.

Look at you, so stingy!

Mr. Qian:

What does this have to do with me? I'm just an employee too!

"Now that the divination inscription has been written, we will not disturb the witch any longer. Xinghan, let's go."

After receiving a full scornful look, Qian Lao quickly winked at Xia Xinghan and hurriedly left the research room.

Outside.

Old Qian smiled and patted Xia Xinghan on the shoulder: "It's a good thing that the divination is very auspicious, but we can't let our guard down. Our own safety should be the top priority."

"Okay, get ready. In ten minutes, at the base airport, a special plane will take you to the Taihang Mountain front-line command post."

"No need, time is of the essence, I'll fly there!" Xia Xinghan said.

Deep in the Taihang Mountains, a temporary military control zone.

-

The enormous, eerie green vortex, like a sinister giant eye, clung to the cliff face, spinning silently and emitting an ominous glow.

In front of the cliff, temporary tents were set up, with soldiers standing ready and researchers looking tense.

Various detection instruments were activated and buzzed towards the mysterious vortex, but could only obtain a chaotic set of data.

Xia Xinghan refused the private jet, his figure soaring into the sky, fast as lightning, cutting through the sky, and in just over ten seconds he traversed dozens of miles from the base and landed in the core of the controlled area.

Almost as soon as the person in charge of the temporary control zone received the news and hung up the phone, he was already outside the tent.

The arrival of the Martial Ancestor naturally caused a small-scale commotion, but it was quickly suppressed by the commander.

Without much small talk, after a brief briefing from the frontline commander, Xia Xinghan walked directly towards the mysterious, dark green vortex.

"Lord Martial Ancestor, please be careful! If anything goes wrong, try to retreat immediately!" the commander shouted from behind him.

"Don't worry, I'll be right back."

Xia Xinghan had his back to him, casually waved his hand, and didn't stop walking.

Upon arriving at the mysterious vortex, he didn't even take any protective measures; he simply took a deep breath and stepped inside.

Another world.

An ancient and dense primeval forest.

The air was damp, filled with humus and a faint smell of blood.

Sunlight filtered through the layers of massive tree canopies, casting dappled shadows on the ground, while the howls of unknown wild beasts and the sharp cries of birds echoed from afar.

At this moment, there was an open space in front of the cliff.

Seven or eight soldiers in camouflage uniforms were engaged in a fierce battle with twenty or thirty goblins with eerie green skin.

These soldiers moved nimbly, their moves subtly imbued with spiritual energy, clearly indicating they were all cultivators. Each punch and palm strike displayed the essence of a C-level martial art.

There was also a middle-aged man with a resolute face, who was equally impressive.

Although he did not know the art of martial arts, he wielded a bone dagger that shimmered with a faint green light. His moves were ruthless and precise, and each swing could easily slit a goblin's throat or pierce its heart, making him extremely efficient at killing enemies.

These individuals had all reached the Transcendent Realm in cultivation.

Killing goblins is as easy as chopping vegetables and cutting melons; it's a complete stomp.

Behind them, below the cliff, were two researchers in white protective suits, their faces pale.

The cliff behind the researchers also had a huge, dark green vortex, slowly rotating, just like the one in the Taihang Mountains.

"This is the fourth wave! These green-skinned bastards are relentless!" A special forces soldier with blood on his face gasped for breath, and as he roared, he smashed a goblin's head with a punch.

"Wang's dagger is pretty useful, but unfortunately my Type 95 assault rifle won't summon!" Another person kicked a goblin away in frustration.

Captain Jia, known as Captain Wang, asked urgently while fighting, "Professor Li, is the signal still not being sent out?"

While operating the instruments, Professor Li, who was under protection, shook his head: "All electronic devices are completely malfunctioning; positioning and communication—it's all useless."

"Will the higher-ups send someone to rescue us?" Another younger researcher asked, his voice trembling slightly.

Team Leader Wang paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Trust in the country! We'll hold on."

Professor Li's tone was relatively calm, but also somewhat pessimistic: "Without receiving a signal, the organization may not launch a rescue operation. For them, everything in the vortex is unknown. Blindly sending people to explore would be unwise and would only increase the number of casualties."

"What?!"

The researchers collapsed to the ground, lamenting in despair, "Have we been abandoned—?"

Before he could finish speaking, heavy and rapid footsteps suddenly came from deep within the forest, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

A group of giant goblins, whose size was significantly larger and more robust than that of ordinary goblins, charged out first.

They have ferocious faces, bulging muscles, and wield iron-clad wooden clubs or rusty machetes, their eyes gleaming with even greater ferocity.

Following closely behind were dozens of goblin archers wielding crudely made short bows, who nimbly climbed trees or sought cover.

Further back, several goblin wolf riders riding gray giant wolves, holding spears, let out bloodthirsty howls.

There were even two goblin shamans dressed in tattered feather robes and holding bone staffs, chanting incantations as their staffs emitted an ominous red glow.

But the most chilling sight was at the very back of the group, a troll over four meters tall with grayish-brown skin!

It has a square head and a wide mouth, with exposed fangs. It holds a huge spiked club and lets out a deep, thunderous roar. Its green eyes scan the humans below the cliff as if they were looking at a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

"It's over————"

The researchers turned ashen-faced, and Wang and the soldiers also turned deathly pale instantly.

"Damn it, is that a goblin army?"

Team Leader Wang gripped the green dagger tightly, a desperate glint in his eyes.

"A bunch of green-skinned scum. We've at least cultivated to the Transcendent Realm, and our physiques far surpass those of ordinary people. Even if we risk our lives, we might still be able to defeat them."

"Too bad my sniper rifle is locked in my inventory, otherwise I could have blown the troll's head off!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Back in the Taihang Mountains, these monsters were riddled with bullets by our guns."

"Captain Wang, don't back down! One word: Do it!!"

Several special forces soldiers, full of youthful vigor, faced a desperate situation with boiling fighting spirit and no fear whatsoever.

Just then.

A dark shadow flew over their heads and landed with a thud behind the goblin army, kicking up dust. It was a colossal creature, over ten meters tall, covered in hard, reddish-brown scales that gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen.

Flying Dragon!

A sense of despair suddenly enveloped everyone's hearts.

Feilong was a terrifying monster that single-handedly destroyed several armed helicopters in the Battle of Taihang Mountain. It was only after the military region dispatched fighter jets that it was finally killed.

If Captain Wang had his own Grade A relic, it would have been fine; he could have risked his life to fight. However, his relic was locked in his inventory and couldn't be retrieved at all.

"*&；*%@#！！"

The troll raised his spiked club and let out a commanding roar.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

Dozens of crude arrows shot out from all parts of the forest like locusts, covering the humans below the cliff!

Team Leader Wang's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, ready to fight to the death.

At this critical moment—

The eerie green vortex on the cliff face suddenly flashed with light.

A small figure stepped out of the vortex without warning, landing precisely between the rain of arrows and the human squad.

It was a boy who looked no more than six years old.

His face was youthful and cute, and his clothes were ordinary but neat and appropriate, making him look like a child star who had just participated in a TV talent show.

"Swish swish swish"

A dense rain of arrows swept towards us.

The boy showed no panic, only a slight frown. He took a deep breath, his chest slightly puffed out, and he blew it away at the rain of arrows coming towards him.

"call"

"~~~"

A visible, extremely condensed white chill, like an invisible shockwave or a blizzard from the far north, surged forward in a fan shape!
