Wang Tingyu felt somewhat uplifted, as if he had found his backbone. He hurriedly rummaged through his storage ring and found a total of three bottles of "Spirit-Nourishing and Transformation-Inducing Pills," which he promptly fed to Huangpu Xin.
With just one glance, Huangpu Xin exclaimed, "Wow!" He could see the "Zerg Infestation Rate" in the status bar had already begun to change, gradually shifting from the red 100% to orange 99%, 98%, 97%, 96%, 95%...
Going back bit by bit, but even after taking three bottles of medicine, the erosion rate only dropped to 88%. It's still a long way from recovery, even further from the initial 40%. What's worse, the erosion rate seems to be like rowing against the current - if you don't advance, you retreat.
As long as it exceeds 50%, it will automatically slide to 100%. The current erosion of 88% is unstoppable. Once the medicine is stopped, it will start to rise again. So even if Huangpu Xin does not use his abilities at this time, he can only suppress the erosion with all his strength for a few minutes of activity time.
Thinking that he might perish here today, Huangpu Xin laboriously moved his index finger, and pulled out a thin object from the storage compartment - a photograph.
Huangpu Xin was unable to lift his hand, and Wang Tingyu helped him at the right moment.
Huangpu Xin's eyes narrowed, but in the end, he didn't say anything, just looked at the old photo.
This is a group photo, like a graduation photo, but missing one-fifth of it. The place where the teacher was originally sitting in the front row has been cut off. The children in the photo are almost all of elementary school age, so it can be temporarily called a "school entrance photo."
"Is this... a photo of you at a private school?" Wang Tingyu asked to ease the awkwardness.
In the Tianyuan continent, there is not a lack of technology. It's just that the scientific and technological knowledge from overseas has not found fertile ground for development. However, people on the continent do have some awareness of things like photographs and cameras.
Huangpu Xin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Why aren't you in there?" Wang Tingyu asked in confusion.
Huangpu Xin fell silent.
For a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "Because they're all dead..." Perhaps it was because he hadn't spoken for a long time, or because he had exerted too much force, the off-key words echoed like the roar of some kind of animal.
Wang Tingyu was startled, then realized he might have asked something he shouldn't have. He quickly took out a gourd and said, "Let me help you fetch some water. You must be thirsty after such a long time." With that, he hurriedly went to the lake to fetch water.
Just took a sip perfunctorily, not wanting to waste time, Huangpu Xin struggled to stand up, and Wang Tingyu beside him stuffed a healing pill into his mouth and went to help Huangpu Xin.
"Elder... can you teach me?" Huangpu Xin still had a hoarse voice that was barely audible, but he knew that if the other party was truly a master, then this place was all within the other party's control, and naturally he could hear it.
Sure enough, the aerial text changed.
"Lost and weak, unsuitable for major tasks, quickly come to the opposite shore to find me."
Both were confused, the text was not fully explained, and there were a bunch of words representing other words, and two "disabled people" had to guess.
"Maze, should be the weird tunnel just now, the other side might be across the lake. It means the tunnel can't stop that lunatic!?" Wang Tingyu guessed.
Huangpu Xin is now multitasking, unable to say much, just nodding and moving forward. Seeing his agreement, the disoriented Wang Tingyu supports Huangpu Xin and listens to the increasingly loud rumbling sound, the two of them quickly hobble across to the other side of the lake.
The lake is not large, but the ground around it is slippery. Wang Tingyu has a different kind of true energy in his body, making it difficult to move carefully. Huangpu Xin is even weaker, slipping every two steps and stumbling every three steps.
Crawling and rolling, the two of them made it to the other side. Strangely, the distant shore, which had appeared shrouded in mist, turned out to be clear of any fog upon their arrival. Instead, they found only overgrown rocks and a Stone Memorial Archway.
When they turned back to look for the glowing words, they found the lake surface smooth as a mirror, with nothing on it, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.
We've reached the other side of the lake. Stopped at the Stone Memorial Archway for a few seconds, but there was no response from the surroundings.
No response...
Immediately, the two walked into the Stone Memorial Archway. The view behind the door was wide open, and just seven steps away was a deep abyss. Looking across, there was only pitch black, with no visible opposite shore. This... were they supposed to jump off the cliff?
Huangpu Xin looked pensive and turned slightly to ask Wang Tingyu: "Can you still... gather your energy...?"
Wang Tingyu gritted his teeth and said: "I can!"
Huangpu Xin nodded and gestured, "Hanging...cliff...below..."
Wang Tingyu understood Huangpu Xin's meaning, although he didn't understand why they had to go down to the bottomless place. But as a newcomer, Wang Tingyu vaguely felt that Huangpu Xin was the only lifeline he could grasp at the moment.
Wang Tingyu was well-prepared for the adventure, taking out a rope and tying it to the pillar of the Stone Memorial Archway. They then switched back to carrying it on their back. Fortunately, Huangpu Xin was now in Franklin's body, so the 10-year-old child was not very heavy.
But even with the assistance of the rope, Wang Tingyu was still in severe pain from internal injuries, sweating profusely on the forehead.
At the same time the two disappeared from the ground, with a loud bang, the "maze" was blasted through, and countless fragments smashed into the lake, causing the water to surge and splash. Cao Mang fell into the weeds by the lake. Due to the recent breakthrough, his energy was unstable, and as his true energy burst out, the grass under his feet was also ignited.
"Where..." He looked around but didn't find the target.
Cao Mang relied on secret techniques to track the girl from the Wang family and pursued her all the way. But when he arrived here, her presence disappeared.
It stopped in front of this stone gate.
He could see the Stone Memorial Archway and Cao Mang in front of him, but the problem was that beyond the stone gate, the ground was only seven steps in diameter. Beyond those seven steps, smooth mountain walls and overgrown weeds made him furrow his brow.
It is impossible for anyone to silently rescue someone in front of a congenital grandmaster of Qi reversal, at least not in Kunyu City.
If it wasn't for a sudden whim of a powerful outsider to rescue the two people, then they are still nearby.
Thinking about the location here, the "next door" to the mine is The Great Emperor's Realm. Is there a possibility...
With this thought in mind, Cao Mang took out a bag, pulled out a bronze mirror, infused it with true energy, and the mirror surface lit up with a faint light, rippling like water, gradually forming a person.
This person has willow leaf-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes, with a full and well-proportioned facial features, truly possessing the appearance of a noble son. The only flaw is a scar that runs from the right eyebrow down to the cheekbone, which mars the otherwise perfect face.
"What's the matter?" The person in the mirror said coldly.
Cao Mang didn't get angry, he grinned and told Zhao Er Gongzi the situation, and finally said, "...that's the situation. I want to know if there's any secret place here. Those two little bugs should have escaped to a hidden place."
Seeing the person opposite remain silent, Cao Mang added, "Of course, there is another way. They will definitely come out. As long as we surround a hundred miles and set up a large array, we can catch them. But I'm afraid your Zhao family can't spare so many people! Make a decision quickly. I'm in a hurry to go back and stabilize my realm!"
Zhao frowned and said, "I can't say much. Remember, it's the interconnected array at the bottom of the lake that you discovered yourself."
Then the face on the bronze mirror disappeared, replaced by a few lines of small characters, recording a secret method for activating the formation.
Cao Mang Quietly noted it down, communication cut off.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, now there was only one question left...
Immediately, Cao Mang bowed to the empty air and said, "Friend, hiding and losing our temper, now our realms seem similar. Can you show yourself for a chat?"
Silence surrounded them, and after a while, a sound broke the stillness from outside the cave.
Shoo! Chirp!
Cao Mang's pupils contracted, and a mysterious golden sword with ancient inscriptions broke through the wall from the outside. He quietly focused his energy on his eyes, only to see the maze cave that had just hindered him for half an incense stick's time being cut open like butter, revealing the eerie crystal mineral walls. A square passage appeared in front of him, and the previous sound was the sound of the flying sword cutting through the stone wall.
Cao Mang looked at the figure walking from afar in the passage, realizing that the other party had just used the Ethereal Soul technique to remotely spy, and was not surprised, just more certain that the other party was a true cultivator of the Golden Core stage. Looking at the person's adornment and sword, his heart shuddered, this person who came is not reasonable at all...
The so-called soft fears the hard, the hard fears the stubborn, the stubborn fears the reckless, that's just how it is.
Mad Emperor Zhou Dian What made him famous during the Golden Elixir period was not his Taoism or his background, but his reckless and stubborn attitude. This person, he was unyielding.
Difficult to deal with...
