Chapter 170 Jia Xu's Shock and the Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing!
Wen Pin's defense can indeed be described as impregnable.
After all, Hang Yu's attack seems ordinary, but it actually contains the blessing of the Three Swords of the Martial Saint and the power of the King, plus the overwhelming attribute suppression to win so easily.
As for why Hang Yu used a flat attack?
This is really not a must-show off.
Wen Pin's defense barrier obviously has the ability to absorb skills.
Not only includes various energy attacks, but also sword energy and the like.
In this case, using ordinary attacks is more effective, but the premise is that the attack is strong enough to break the defense at one time.
Wen Pin is willing to accept the loss.
He chose to surrender on the spot.
The strength of this lord is too terrifying!
…………
A quarter of an hour later.
The dark dungeon under the main city of Luoshui.
There are another batch of prisoners who are imprisoned and sealed.
Wen Pin was imprisoned in a dark sealed prison.
His armor has been removed, revealing his original appearance.
This is an old general with white hair, a square face, and a resolute appearance.
Wen Pin could clearly feel that after he was sent in, his whole body strength seemed to disappear, he fell into an extremely weak state, and his mana was drained and he could not use any skills.
"Is this the extraordinary building built by the Star Lord?"
Wen Pin guessed that there were a lot of profound and complex formations in the dark dungeon. With the layers of suppression and weakening of these formations, it was impossible for him to escape with his current ability.
"I didn't expect that I, Wen Pin, would become a prisoner!"
This result was something Wen Pin had never expected. He was regretting and thinking about how to crack it.
A hoarse, weak, and faint voice sounded from the corner of the cell: "Hey, isn't this General Wen? Why are you also locked up?"
Wen Pin only then realized that there was someone else in this cell.
When Wen Pin looked at the other person.
He was surprised.
This person could no longer be described as a human. His hair and fur had completely fallen off, and there was no moisture in his flesh and skin. Not only was his blood dry, but his internal organs had also stopped functioning. He was almost a corpse.
But it was such a "dead" corpse.
His eyes were shining with interest as he looked around here.
Wen Pin felt a familiar breath from the other person: "Who are you? Have we met before!"
"Hehe, I look like this, so it's no wonder that General Wen didn't recognize me."
"Are you..."
Wen Pin felt the extremely yin energy emanating from the other person, and his eyes suddenly widened, revealing an expression of disbelief and even horror: "Mr. Jia!"
The extremely yin ancestor Jia Xu?
How could he appear in the dungeon of the Lord of Stars.
Could it be that even a person like Mr. Jia was caught by the Lord!
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Jia Xu is the most unfathomable master in Wancheng. He even has a way to defend against Dian Wei. How could he fall into the hands of the Lord so easily?
"It's me!"
Jia Xu admitted it directly.
This sentence was like a thunderbolt to Wen Pin.
Jia Xu was very amused by Wen Pin's wonderful expression changes, and then laughed: "General Wen, don't be surprised, this is just a puppet body that I made temporarily!"
It turned out that it was not the real body?
Finally relieved.
"By the way, why was General Wen imprisoned here? Could it be that you were also tricked by the lord and fell into the siege of the army?"
In the past 20 years.
It is true that Jia Xu lived in seclusion.
But he knew everything about Wancheng.
Wen Pin's strength was second only to Zhang Xiu, and was far superior to the puppet he controlled. Moreover, he was calm and cautious, so there was no reason for him to be caught, unless he fell into an ambush by the army and the lord took action personally.
However,
Wen Pin shook his head: "To be honest, although I was surrounded by a large group of people, the lord did not use his numbers to bully the minority, but defeated me personally. I lost this battle with a sincere heart!"
"Hmm? This seems unlikely!"
Jia Xu's puppet voice was full of surprise: "I have come into contact with this lord of the stars. Even if he can pose a threat to the old general, there is no possibility of winning and capturing him alive."
Wen Pin: "Mr. Jia probably underestimated the power of this lord. He broke my defense with just a casual blow. I am like a chicken and a dog in front of him!"
What?
There is such a thing!
This time it was Jia Xu's turn to be surprised.
Jia Xu then said: "Old general, please tell me the whole process in detail, don't miss any details."
Wen Pin nodded, and in the next few dozen minutes, he carefully described all the causes and consequences and the battle process from Wancheng, quickly passing through the wasteland of death, and finally entering the territory of the stars.
Now it was Jia Xu's turn to feel awkward.
"This lord's strength has increased so much... or was he deliberately hiding his strength at that time?"
No!
That's not right.
It's just that the lord's strength has increased dramatically.
According to the details just described by Wen Pin.
Zhou Cang and the eight personal guards around him have all been transformed.
At this moment, they all have the strength of the third level. It can only be that they have suddenly improved recently!
Jia Xu realized that all along, this lord's foundation and confidence were far stronger than he had imagined. He had been kept in the dark all along and misjudged the other party's true ability.
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting!"
Wen Pin had a question mark on his face, "Why can Mr. Jia still laugh at this time? At this moment, there are the forces of the Abyss in front and the Lord of the Stars behind. Wancheng is probably in danger!"
Jia Xu laughed for a while and then stopped laughing.
He said: "Don't worry, the reason why this lord locked you up is just to weaken your spirit. I think it won't be long before he will personally interrogate you and take the opportunity to negotiate with you."
Wen Pin's heart moved: "What should I do? Please teach me, Mr. Jia!"
Jia Xu: "You probably don't understand the relationship between the Abyss and the Stars enough. The relationship between local forces like us is like the relationship between wolves and sheep to the Abyss. Wolves need to eat sheep to continue to grow and reproduce."
"Sometimes, wolves seem ferocious, but they may not eat all the sheep, because if they eat all the sheep, they can't reproduce."
"This is another reason why Wancheng can still exist for so many years. Otherwise, if Dian Wei goes completely crazy, it will be difficult for a six-sided luck formation to stop him."
Wen Pin was stunned.
This is the first time I heard such a statement.
But think about it, although the creatures in the abyss are immortal, they do not have the ability to reproduce directly. Most of the creatures in the abyss come from polluting normal creatures.
The process of human reproduction.
It is also the process of replenishing the abyss with living forces.
The more humans there are and the more normal creatures there are, the greater the potential pollution range.
If all humans are eliminated in one go, the power of the abyss camp will stop growing, so Jia Xu's description of the relationship between wolves and sheep makes sense.
Jia Xu continued, "But the relationship between the Abyss and the Stars is like ice and fire, and there is almost no possibility of coexistence!"
"Therefore, the pollution of the Abyss is the number one threat to the Lord of the Stars, and the Lord of the Stars is also the number one enemy to Dian Wei and others... Do you understand the meaning of this?"
Wen Pin nodded, "I roughly understand what Mr. Jia said, but Wancheng is right between the Stars Territory and the Abyss Forces. Whether the Stars want to attack the Abyss or the Abyss wants to attack the Stars, Wancheng will inevitably be impacted."
Jia Xu: "Since you can't sit on the sidelines, make good use of this opportunity. I suggest you show some sincerity as a bargaining chip for the next negotiation. The Lord of the Stars needs the power of Wancheng to fight the Abyss, and Wancheng can also use the power of the Stars to completely eliminate the threat once and for all!"
Wen Pin was thoughtful.
He asked again: "If the threat of the Abyss is completely eliminated, how should we get along with the Lord of the Stars?"
Jia Xu said meaningfully: "This matter is not convenient to discuss here."
Wen Pin nodded.
Why did the Lord want to arrest him?
Why did he lock himself up in the dungeon?
It was not only to suppress himself and reduce his spirit, but also to send some signals to Jia Xu. At the same time, he used Jia Xu's words to make himself more aware of the current situation and make the right choice in the negotiation.
"I already understand! Thank you for your advice, sir!"
Jia Xu didn't care about it. Instead, he became more and more interested in this lord. This person's personality and work style seemed to be quite to his liking, and he had unknown abilities. Maybe he could really do something unexpected in the future.
...
In the lord's castle.
Hang Yu had been paying attention to the dungeon prisoners through the lord's vision. Every word these people said in the dungeon could not escape their ears and eyes, and they also obtained a lot of information in the process.
Jia Xu and Wen Pin were still old foxes.
The two seemed to realize this.
They did not leak sensitive information during the conversation.
However, it didn't matter. The signal that Hang Yu wanted to convey had been conveyed.
He showed Jia Xu the development and strength of the territory through Wen Pin, and asked Wen Pin to show some sincerity in the next negotiation through Jia Xu. After a day or two, he could formally discuss cooperation with Xin Wancheng.
Xiao Ba suddenly reminded: "Master, a team of players is close to the area where Zhang Zhongjing is."
Hang Yu: "Players have explored this place so quickly? The efficiency of these players is always unexpected!"
…………
Abyss Wancheng.
The northern area of the map.
A team is carefully exploring in the mountains and forests.
The leader of this team is Uncle Dashu. There are a total of five people. The level is not high, only level 9, but they just meet the conditions for entering the Wancheng map. They entered the Wancheng map from Baihu Mountain not to fight monsters, but for adventure and exploration.
After the territory released the "Exploration Map" task a few days ago.
The Natural Disaster Army set off a trend of map exploration.
This task is settled once a day. As long as the player can go to the unexplored area of the territory and reveal the local map vision for the territory map, he can get the reward settlement at the end of the day.
The higher the level of the map you explore, the higher the value of the map you explore, the more rewards you will get.
This task has fully stimulated the adventure enthusiasm of the majority of players!
You know, let alone the newly opened Wancheng map, even in Woniu Mountain, Baihu Mountain, and even the main city area of Luoshui, there are currently some or a small part of the map covered by dark fog.
No player has ever reached it.
There is no way to know what monsters, resources or herbs there are.
Now with the rewards of the activity tasks as a stimulus, players are very active in exploring various unknown places, among which the highest income and the greatest value are undoubtedly Wancheng.
First of all, Wancheng is big enough!
More than 95% of the maps are unknown!
Advanced players can open maps while hunting monsters, which can earn both combat power income generated by hunting monsters and rewards for opening maps.
There are often unknowns and surprises in this process.
For example, you often find precious herbs or collect herbs.
Some medicines or resources are extremely valuable and earn more than honestly hunting monsters.
For example, you can see unexpected magnificent scenery at any time, or encounter all kinds of strange plants and monsters. This kind of sensory stimulation and spiritual enjoyment is similar to exotic tourism, and the fun and gameplay of exploring the unknown world make the gameplay full and people can't stop.
Of course.
The player casualty rate is also skyrocketing!
Let the territory spirit income increase four or five times!
At this moment, Uncle Tree's team has just experienced a life-and-death race. They jumped into a turbulent river while being chased by a group of monsters for two hours, and then were washed out of the river for dozens of miles directly into the deep mountains and dense forests.
At this moment, Uncle Tree didn't know where he came to.
There are strange rocks and waterfalls, towering mountains and steep ridges everywhere. All kinds of unheard-of exotic flowers and plants, magical animals can be seen everywhere, and you can take a screenshot and take it back as wallpaper.
I dug dozens of rare herbs one after another.
This wave is not a loss!
"Uncle Tree!"
At this time, a ranger with the ID "Wind Chaser" sneaked back.
He said excitedly: "I found a very secret path ahead. I roughly scouted it and there are many high-level monsters in it. It is estimated to be a very hidden and excellent monster spawning area!"
"Is it true?"
"There is such a good thing!"
"If it is true, this map is very valuable, we must not miss it!"
"Yes, even if you can't beat it, if you can become the discoverer of the map, you can get a lot of rewards this time!"
Uncle Tree waved his hand: "Let's go and take a look. Everyone should drink a bottle of invisibility potion in advance, so as not to die before exploring the map!"
The five people took out the potion and drank it.
Then they began a difficult trek.
While avoiding various monsters and potential dangers.
While walking through cliffs and caves.
It took several hours to finally enter the place the Wind Chaser said.
This is a valley hidden in the mountains and endless fog. It has a flat terrain, dense water networks, large grasslands with thousands of flowers, and scattered woods with their own characteristics. There is a mysterious and dreamy feeling.
"Wow!"
"This place is so beautiful!"
"It beats all the attractions in the real world!"
"Only in the game can such scenery be created!"
"This place is really special. If it weren't for the coincidence of accidental collision, we would never have found it. But everyone should be careful not to alarm the monsters in it!"
"..."
The five little weaklings were walking on thin ice step by step.
After all, any monster in this place is not something they can deal with.
After the five people entered the secret valley, they soon discovered a monster living here.
This monster seems to be a wild horse, each of which is several times larger than an ordinary adult wild horse. Not only does it have black scales all over its body, but its tail is also covered with scales like a snake or fish, just like the dragon tail in the legend.
Each horse's head looks more like a lion, with thick mane on its neck, a huge horn on its head, and flames lingering around its four hooves and body, giving people a sense of majesty.
Rather than a horse.
It looks a bit like the legendary Qilin.
[Black Scale Dragon Horse], level? ? ? Introduction? ? ?
Uncle Dashu and others' levels are too low, and it is impossible to see the level of this monster and any related information. It is just that from the momentum, it feels that these black scale dragon horses are not simple.
Several players dare not approach the black scale dragon horse. After all, once this monster is alarmed, they will be killed in minutes with their strength that is not even at the second level.
"What is that?"
"It seems to be a medicinal field!"
"Is there anyone living in this place!"
But as they were exploring along the outside of the valley, they were suddenly surprised to find that there seemed to be several artificially reclaimed fields deep in this secret valley, in which various precious medicinal materials were planted.
Strange, how could there be people in such a place?
A prompt sound appeared in their mind.
[Ding! ]
[Trigger the adventure mission! 】
[Task name: Looking for Zhang Zhongjing! 】
[Task content: You and your team accidentally discovered a hidden valley during the exploration process. This is very likely the place where the legendary doctor Zhang Zhongjing lived in seclusion. Please collect and find relevant clues as much as possible. 】
[Task goal: Find Zhang Zhongjing or important clues! 】
[Task reward: 100,000 essence, 150,000 contribution points, which can be distributed by the participating team! 】
[Task time limit: 2 days! 】
————
When the task prompt was received.
Uncle Dashu and other players were stunned.
They never dreamed that such a thing would happen to them.
This mysterious valley might be the legendary place where Zhang Zhongjing lived in seclusion!
There is indeed news about Zhang Zhongjing in the forum recently, and several groups of players have claimed to find Zhang Zhongjing.
But Uncle Dashu and others didn't pay much attention to it at all, because they themselves didn't believe that with so many big guys in the major corps, such a good thing could be the turn of their small transparent players.
However.
At this moment.
They successfully triggered the relevant tasks.
This task does not seem to be difficult, but the rewards are very generous. Everyone can get 20,000 spirits, plus the experience points rewarded by this exploration, which is enough for them to directly upgrade to the second level!
There are also a lot of contribution points!
It is no different from pie in the sky!
Uncle Dashu is not an ordinary person after all. He quickly suppressed his excitement and discussed with several other members.
"Although this reward is rich, there are only two days. We must seize the opportunity!"
"Yes!"
"We can walk in here, in fact, luck accounts for the vast majority. If we come again, we will probably not be able to enter. There are too many high-level monsters nearby!"
"No mistakes! Must succeed!"
"..."
When Uncle Dashu and others realized the preciousness of this task.
They then went to the depths of the valley at an extremely slow and cautious speed.
About a few hours later, the players came to the depths of the secret valley according to the traces, and finally found a cave in the distance.
There are several medicinal fields near this cave, each of which is full of various herbs. There are also various tools nearby. It is obvious that someone lives there.
"Found it!"
"This must be Zhang Zhongjing's retreat!"
"Even if Zhang Zhongjing is not inside, we will definitely get clues and complete this mission!"
"Hahaha! I didn't expect it to be so easy! This time we are going to be in the spotlight!"
When the five players were feeling secretly happy, suddenly a strong breath came, and a black-scaled dragon horse stepped into the air and appeared in front of the players, obviously discovering these players.
"Fuck, run!"
Uncle Dashu and others had no intention of fighting at all. They turned around and ran away when facing this powerful monster. The black-scaled dragon horse was obviously not easy to mess with. It released a black flame from its horn on their heads.
A scream.
Two players were hit.
They were burned to ashes on the spot.
Uncle Dashu saw this and shouted: "Run separately and count as many as you can!"
The three players decisively chose different directions. They obviously underestimated the mobility of the black-scaled dragon horse. The black-scaled dragon horse turned into a flame and instantly appeared in front of a player, nailing him to death with its horn and hanging him on his body.
Almost in the blink of an eye.
The black-scaled dragon horse appeared in front of another player, and ran over the player with its burning hooves. Wherever it passed, its hooves blasted holes in the ground, and the trampled Scourge soldier was torn into pieces on the spot, with no complete body.
Only Uncle Tree was left.
When he found that four teammates had died one after another.
Uncle Tree's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
This monster's ability to move is too fast and too powerful.
Not to mention three people running separately, even if ten people fled separately, they could catch up in minutes.
"Damn it, it's so hard to trigger such a top-notch mission, is it going to fail at the last minute?"
Although the mission has two days, even if the team is wiped out this time, it does not mean that there is no hope, but with the ability of this team, it is impossible to come to this place for the second time. At that time, they can only seek help from major military groups, owe favors to people, and have to pay some benefits.
But.
There is no way.
Uncle Tree's strength.
No matter what, he can't stop the attack of the black-scaled dragon horse.
When the black dragon horse rushed in front of him quickly and was about to kill him in seconds.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Several golden rays flashed by!
Uncle Dashu was surprised to find that he was not dead, but the majestic dragon horse in front of him was still, as if it was hit by a spell and could not move, and several glowing golden needles appeared on it.
"Someone is taking action!"
Uncle Dashu quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the golden needles.
An old man carrying a medicine basket, wearing cloth clothes and cloth shoes, and holding a bamboo stick came out.
The old man had white hair and beard, but no wrinkles on his face. Although he was dressed very simply, he gave people a feeling of immortality, like an old immortal who lived in seclusion in the mountains.
[Zhang Zhongjing]: ? ? ?
It's him!
Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing!
When Uncle Dashu saw the message.
He also received a reminder sound that the task was completed.
[Ding, the task is completed, your team's spirit +100,000, contribution points +150,000! 】
