455: Gift Giving
"Is this Wu La acting like an old dog? Why is he so steady?"
"But after all, it is the Ten Secret Treasures; being steady is good."
After Chen Du left, Qingfeng's voice, asking and answering himself, sounded in the dark.
At this moment, he used Domain to wrap himself and Gu Bang.
It was not that he was afraid Chen Du would discover them; after all, the other party was only Rank 19, and his Mental Energy could not exceed Rank 20, so he absolutely could not discover them.
Being this cautious was mainly out of fear of being discovered by other Domain Warriors passing by by chance.
"Don't rush, I have plenty of tricks to feed this thing into his mouth."
Gu Bang was also a bit surprised at first, but quickly understood.
"Isn't that thing right here?"
"You can make use of it."
Gu Bang looked around and said to Qingfeng.
"Indeed."
Both were from the Prophet Civilization and possessed equally vast memories; a slight mention was enough for the other person to easily think of what it was.
...
Whoosh...
"Hmm?"
After taking a detour, Chen Du was currently rushing towards his destination without stopping.
Because of the detour, it might take 1–2 hours longer, but for safety, Chen Du resolutely followed his inner thoughts.
And at this moment, something seemed to have happened nearby, or rather in the distance, which was keenly captured by Chen Du's powerful Mental Energy.
He stopped in his tracks and looked around.
"Wind?"
Chen Du murmured, and after a few seconds, the sound became more intense.
Whoosh, whoosh...
"Damn, I didn't encounter the [Nether Wind], did I?"
The so-called Nether Wind is a type of natural disaster Underground.
Although this Nether Wind is called wind, it is mainly 'nether'.
Its physical destructive power is mediocre, but this thing is powerful because it can directly attack your Life Strength talent.
People caught in the Nether Wind usually do not suffer much physical damage, but the deadly part is that it will blow away your potential.
If a Rank 19 Martial Artist accidentally falls into the Nether Wind, it is very likely that he will never be able to advance to Sky Soaring Warrior in this life.
And there is indeed Nether Wind in this area, which is why no civilization is stationed here.
But the probability of it appearing is very low, according to the descriptions Chen Du heard from these local civilizations before.
The probability of encountering Nether Wind is less than 1%.
I can get hit by this?
It seems the road back is really full of disasters.
Chen Du complained internally and then accelerated.
Blowing away potential, to some extent, is even more uncomfortable than killing Chen Du.
If you have nothing, you just want to live, but when you truly possess something, it is very difficult to accept its disappearance.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The sound of wind in his ears grew louder.
Under the perception of Mental Energy, Chen Du discovered that his left and right sides, as well as behind him, were actually surrounded by the Nether Wind.
My luck is this bad?
Isn't this thing random?
It's actually on the same path as me!
Chen Du complained internally again.
In this way, he didn't even have the chance to detour again and could only continue forward along the original route.
But fortunately, the speed of the Nether Wind was not very fast, always one step slower than him, and Chen Du still had the Hand of God exchange as a backup, so even if he were really surrounded, he could swap out.
But the ability of the Ten Secret Treasures should not be used easily; if used casually, it is very likely that someone would notice it unknowingly.
Unless it is a mortal situation, Chen Du will not use the ability of the Mystic Treasure.
The Nether Wind was mixed with a lot of flying sand and stones, grass roots, and trees; these debris were mostly swept up along the way.
However, in the midst of this, Chen Du saw something familiar.
Thunder Martial Banana.
Didn't expect this thing to be taken away by the Nether Wind too.
But the position was a bit far.
If he used the Hand of Atim to take it, his speed would be reduced after being pulled by the Nether Wind.
After some thought, Chen Du decided to give up; if his speed were reduced, there would be a possibility of being caught up by the Nether Wind, and if caught, he would need to use the Hand of God to swap out.
Compared to rising to Rank 20, the secret of the Ten Secret Treasures is obviously much more important.
Cannot be used unless it is a mortal situation!
This is the rule branded in Chen Du's heart.
Just like this, one person and one wind, constantly chasing and moving forward.
Four hours later, Chen Du arrived in front of a lake.
This lake is called [Sky-Reaching Lake].
The name is very domineering, but it is actually a very ordinary lake; "Sky-Reaching" means leading to the Surface.
Under the water, there is a secret passage that constantly extends upwards.
The path Chen Du chose to the Dynasty Civilization, except for the final ascending stage, the last leg Underground is this water route.
"Splash."
Chen Du plunged into the lake and took out the water aversion pearl.
The moment the water aversion pearl was taken out of the storage space, the surrounding lake water retreated.
Even Chen Du's body, which was wetted when entering the lake, quickly dried under the effect of the water aversion pearl, clearing away all that moisture.
At this moment, a circle similar to a Domain formed around Chen Du, but the range was very small, not even enough to hold two people; inside the circle, not a single drop of water could enter.
Not only that, losing the force of the water, Chen Du's whole body also sank.
Fortunately, the lake is not deep, only about one hundred meters.
The Nether Wind cannot go underwater; at this moment, Chen Du has completely gotten rid of that annoying thing.
Just as Chen Du was preparing to continue moving forward.
"Plop!"
The sound of an object falling into the water came from above.
The Thunder Martial Banana, in the form of a tracking fish, dove all the way down, directly rushed into the water aversion pearl circle, and landed in Chen Du's hands!
"Was this thrown out by the Nether Wind?"
After being stunned for two seconds, Chen Du said in disbelief.
...
On the lake shore.
"Done, we have done everything we should do."
"The rest of the road, he has to walk it himself."
Gu Bang looked at the Thunder Martial Banana that Qingfeng threw into the lake and said with satisfaction.
Qingfeng did not respond, but looked at the lake Surface with a slightly furrowed brow:
"Gu Bang, did you feel just now that the time Wu La discovered the Nether Wind was a bit early?"
"Was it?"
"To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to this; I was thinking at the time, if this move still fails, what to use for the next move."
After being silent for a few seconds, Qingfeng continued:
"Assuming Wu La's Mental Energy is Rank 20, it is impossible to notice the Nether Wind at that distance; or is it that he stopped because of something else?"
"That distance, to be honest, even your Mental Energy, Gu Bang, couldn't discover it."
"Really?"
Gu Bang was also shocked by Qingfeng's words at this moment:
"I am a Rank 27 Advanced Aerial Warrior, and my Mental Energy is also Rank 26; are you trying to tell me that Wu La's Mental Energy Rank is higher than mine?"
"That's not it."
Qingfeng shook his head:
"Even if the Ten Secret Treasures can break the Rank 20 limit of Mental Energy for Martial Artists, it wouldn't directly exceed Rank 26."
"I am just using a metaphor."
"Maybe he has some supreme treasure related to perception, or perhaps it's unique to their civilization, a sensitivity to wind."
"I actually hope he exceeds Rank 26; the stronger the strength, the better!"
"Stir up those Great Civilizations on the Surface into a mess for me!"
Gu Bang laughed:
"I am also approaching my 50-year deadline; going back this time, I should also prepare for Rebirth."
"If successful, I can be like you and break this curse."
"If everything goes smoothly, I might even be able to watch the Prophet Civilization rise."
"If it fails, our plans and expectations for Wu La will also be spread to all the clansmen of the Prophet Civilization."
"We have some compatriots who are not used to the Underground and finally chose to go to the Surface for Rebirth."
"Among them, there are successes and failures."
"I believe that after they know about my plan, if they have the ability, they will definitely help Wu La grow in secret!"
"It can be considered as establishing a good relationship."
"Wish you success."
Qingfeng no longer looked at the lake Surface, but turned his gaze to his friend.
Rebirth is a very dangerous act, but it is also something that everyone in the Prophet Civilization must experience.
In terms of probability, it is only about 10%.
But fortunately, for those who succeed in Rebirth, if there are resources and the talent is quite good, the probability of becoming a Domain Warrior is still relatively high.
After all, there is vast experience to assist.
As of now, there are only over a hundred Prophet Alien Race living in the core area of the Prophet Circle!
A civilization of over a hundred people, yet enjoying such huge resources Underground.
How many civilizations must be jealous of this?
This is why there is the Prophet Circle, and there are many "friendly" Domain Warriors coming and going; if it were in another territory, a civilization of this size would sooner or later be unable to hide.
The surrounding Nether Wind, after Chen Du jumped into the lake, slowly dissipated; together with it, the two figures on the lake shore also dissipated.
...
Under the lake.
Facing the gift sent by God for the second time, Chen Du did not hesitate at all.
Directly, deep feelings, gulp it down.
The Thunder Martial Banana looks soft and waxy, but the taste is actually as hard as old iron; Chen Du's oral cavity, nasal cavity, thoracic cavity, and pelvic cavity all felt a shocking taste.
It's like gnawing on a leaking high-voltage line.
If a Rank 10 Martial Artist ate this thing, it is estimated that one bite would require two and a half hours of rest.
But Chen Du is Rank 19, and a very powerful kind of Rank 19 at that; can only say, little Thunder Martial Banana, taken down!
After completely consuming it, Chen Du could clearly feel that a crackling arc state was continuing inside his body.
The Life Strength Rank also began to climb continuously under the crackling of these arcs.
[Congratulations to the host, Life Strength Rank increased from Rank 19 to Rank 19.1]
[Congratulations to the host, Life Strength Rank increased from Rank 19.1 to Rank 19.2]
[Congratulations to the host, Life Strength Rank increased from Rank 19.2 to Rank 19.3]
