Chapter 505: Finally meeting
"This is ... An ancient city?"
At the same time, Fang ping and w.a.n.g Jinyang had also left the Forest of Death.
Looking at the city outside the forest, Fang ping mumbled,"This architectural style ... It"s a bit like our style!"
Although the city was in ruins and there were almost no intact buildings, the broken walls still felt like they were built in human style.
w.a.n.g Jinyang did not mind this. He looked around and said in a low voice, "It"s very dangerous for the two of us here. If we meet the people from the catacombs, we"ll definitely die. Let"s find a place to hide. "
Fang ping nodded. He looked around and suddenly said, "Let"s go there!"
Old w.a.n.g followed his line of sight, and his face turned purple. He said in a low voice,""You"re crazy!"
The place Fang ping was referring to was none other than the tallest building in the ancient monument.
Of course, at this moment, it was already in ruins. However, it didn"t prevent people from thinking of the magnificence of the past. It was at least a hundred meters tall!
Now, some of the broken walls were full of potholes and had even collapsed in some places. However, one of the walls had not completely collapsed.
"The higher you stand, the more far-reaching you can see. The most dangerous place is also the safest place."
As Fang ping looked around, he said in an almost inaudible voice,"Rose city"s city Lord probably doesn"t dare to show himself either. He came here sneakily. He can"t hide his aura, so he doesn"t dare to get too close. Let"s go to a higher place. We might be able to see him and cause him some trouble."
"It"s broad daylight. If we"re seen by others, we"ll die without a doubt!"
"I know ..." As Fang ping said this, he glanced at the tall building in the distance and whispered,""Look, the wall is very thick. It hasn"t collapsed for so many years. The material is probably very good. Let"s go to the base of the wall and dig. Let"s see if we can dig up from the inside of the wall ..."
w.a.n.g Jinyang was in awe of him!
He really admired this guy"s way of thinking.
They didn"t dare to dig the ground anymore, but instead, they dug the wall?
The wall of the building in front of them was indeed very thick. Just looking at the collapsed part, it was at least one meter thick. If such a wall did not collapse from digging, it could be dug up.
What he was afraid of was ... Once the wall collapsed, he would definitely die in broad daylight!
However, at this point, w.a.n.g Jinyang had nothing more to say. He nodded and did not reject the offer.
Seeing this, Fang ping looked left and right, his mentality carefully probing out. He was mainly worried that Rose city"s mistress was hiding in the dark.
However, that guy was a rank-9 powerhouse after all. Although a rank-9 powerhouse had concealed his aura and he might not be able to observe it, this d.a.m.n place ... There was no energy. A powerhouse like rose city"s Governor would at least leave a mark on him unless he did not leak any aura.
This fellow might not even dare to get so close.
Fang ping observed carefully for a while and began to approach the tallest building.
The world was still deathly silent.
It was as if there was no life in the vast land.
When Fang ping reached the dilapidated city, he was practically crawling.
w.a.n.g Jinyang"s face was full of sorrow, but he could only crawl along.
In fact, the two of them weren"t lying on the ground. They were just floating in the air, very close to the ground.
However, this time, entering the catacombs, digging holes, running naked, crawling ... He felt as humiliated as he could be.
Face ... In this G.o.dforsaken place, what face was there to speak of?
The martial artists in the outside world idolized Fang ping and w.a.n.g Jinyang. They thought that prodigies like them were definitely superior.
Some martial artists who had entered the catacombs only knew that they had gained a lot in the catacombs. They might even fantasize that these people would go down to the catacombs and kill people like they were numb to it. They would raise their hands and swing their blades, looking awe-inspiring.
No one would have thought that The Prodigy martial artists who entered the catacombs were worlds apart from what they had expected.
……
A few minutes later.
The two of them arrived at the foot of the wall.
Fang ping touched the wall carefully and nodded slightly. He did not say anything, indicating that he could dig a hole here.
However, this was not a good time. It was too quiet, and digging a hole would be easily noticed. He had to wait.
The two of them were like rocks, motionless. They hid in the shadow of the foot of the wall, waiting for the opportunity to come.
And the time soon came.
While the two of them were waiting, a furious roar suddenly erupted from the distance.
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You still dare to come!"
An angry roar came from the depths of the city.
In the next moment, the energy fluctuations of a battle erupted in the distance. It was very intense.
Fang ping did not waste any more time. He took the opportunity to dig a hole underground.
The ground here was paved with energy crystals. However, something must have happened in the past. Some parts of the ground were in tatters, and the energy crystals were also shattered. This was the place Fang ping was digging.
This time, Fang ping was as careful as he could be, for fear of touching the sealed world below.
After digging about two to three meters deep, Fang ping gestured for old w.a.n.g to come down. Then, he began to fill up the hole.
Then, he started to dig towards the wall.
When he reached the wall, Fang ping began to dig holes in the wall.
Martial artists had strong control, and the walls were of good quality. The hole they dug didn"t cause any other cracks.
Just like that, as he dug upwards, Fang ping dug a tunnel to bury the soil.
Otherwise, if there was a pa.s.sage in the wall, one sweep of spiritual power would be discovered, even though experts rarely had the time to scan the wall.
The battle in the distance did not stop either. The original creatures had attacked the people in the Forbidden Zone.
The people from the Forbidden Zone were only outsiders here. They even had some energy stones with them. These things were the best treasures for the original creatures.
The flesh and blood of powerhouses were also what they desired.
This kind of battle had actually continued many times.
……
After a while, Fang ping finally dug to the top of the wall. He did not dig to the highest point, stopping at about 80 meters.
Above, Fang ping did not dig through. Below, after Fang ping dug, he also filled in the crushed materials he had dug out.
Following that, Fang ping began to set up mentality barriers, layer after layer.
After that, w.a.n.g Jinyang watched as Fang ping punched holes into the wall"s exterior.
At this moment, Fang ping set up multiple mentality barriers. He no longer kept quiet and said in a low voice,"Make a hole and observe the situation. Don"t stare at people all the time. Experts have very sharp senses ..."
"I know,"
w.a.n.g Jinyang was not stupid. He naturally understood this logic, but he did not know whether to laugh or cry."Your experience is so rich that even I"m in awe. You"re too rich!"
Look, they dug walls, drilled holes, and didn"t break through the top. Even if an expert landed on the wall, they wouldn"t be able to detect their existence.
This series of movements was almost an instinctive reaction for Fang ping. Did mcmau specifically teach these courses?
Fang ping could not be bothered with him. He drilled a small hole the size of a rice grain in the wall. The direction of the hole was facing the depths of the city.
The wall was more than a meter thick, so it was not crowded for the two of them.
After digging the small hole, Fang ping thought for a moment and dug a hole behind him as well. This was to observe the Rose City Master.
After digging holes on both sides, Fang ping dug another one on old w.a.n.g"s side and continued his work. He poured out the crushed stones from his storage s.p.a.ce and buried the two of them. He was ready to put the stones in.
He didn"t leave any gaps in the wall. This way, even if his psyche force scanned the wall, it wouldn"t cause a hollow situation.
After a while, it was as if the two of them had been sealed in a wall. Fang ping said unhappily,"Old w.a.n.g, let"s each keep an eye on one side. Don"t follow me and keep an eye on one side. We don"t even know that Rose city"s Governor has arrived."
w.a.n.g Jinyang was helpless. He could only move his body with great difficulty and turn back.
He had just turned to the back when Fang ping suddenly said,"Old w.a.n.g, come and look, there"s someone! Let"s see if teacher Zhang is here!"
w.a.n.g Jinyang"s body s.h.i.+fted and he immediately turned around. He looked out through the weak little hole.
Martial artists had excellent vision.
This wall was still a few thousand meters away from the innermost area, but the other side of the regional wall was visible to both of them.
At an alt.i.tude of about 80 meters, some of the other broken walls in the city were also high, but not so high. They could not block their view.
In the distance, under the crystal-clear regional wall, Fang ping saw many people.
And the battle was still ongoing!
Fang ping saw the bloodthirsty tree demon, other monster plants, and a few monsters attacking the martial artists.
Among the martial artists who were besieged, there were two people who were extremely strong. They beat up the monster plants and monster beasts until their flesh and blood flew everywhere and they were sent flying backward.
Even though this man and woman were extremely powerful, there were too few of them and they were still unable to drive away these demonic beasts and plants.
The other martial artists were weaker than the monster beasts and monster plants, or rather, they were unable to burst out. Their energy consumption was too great. Many of these people were not in their peak condition at the moment, and their conditions were not as strong as these original creatures.
"Tie mu!"
Just as Fang ping was still observing, the woman who was fighting suddenly let out a furious roar. She said in extreme anger,"Use the divine weapon to kill them!"
The middle-aged man did not say anything.
"Tie mu!"
The alluring woman shouted again. Tie mu was a little angry. He shouted in a low voice,"Divine weapons consume the undying G.o.d!"
Using a divine weapon would consume a large amount of mental energy.
In the outside world, even though the recovery of spiritual power was slow, it could still be recovered. The stronger the person, the faster the recovery.
However, in this place, they could use the power of energy to fight. They still had energy stones to use and recover.
However, he had used up too much of his mind power. Treasures that could recover his mind power were the best treasures in any place, including the Forbidden Zone.
Especially for rank-9 powerhouses, the value of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that could help them recover their mentality was even more immeasurable. With this thing, when fighting with powerhouses of the same level, he might be able to kill them. Its value was not lower than that of a divine weapon.
Although they were forbidden-zone rank-9, they did not have such a treasure.
Now that he was in a deadlock with these monstrous beasts and monstrous plants, he was only using energy power and energy stones. The catacombs did not lack energy stones. When they came, they had also brought quite a lot.
Besides, he wasn"t the only one with a divine weapon. This woman had one too, but why didn"t she use it?
In this stalemate, the enchanting woman seemed to have cursed something, and a scimitar suddenly appeared in her hand.
As soon as the scimitar appeared, the woman"s aura changed greatly.
The next moment, the woman"s body was like lightning. She suddenly burst out and swept her curved blade across. She and her curved blade instantly pierced through the body of a demon beast.
"BOOM!"
With a low sound, the huge demonic beast"s corpse fell to the ground. The woman didn"t stop there. She landed on the demonic beast"s corpse and grabbed it with her left hand. Soon, a golden, miniature demonic beast was caught in her hand.
A brilliant golden light burst out from the woman"s hand, and she clenched it.
"Roar!"
A soul-shaking shrill roar was heard. The little golden demonic beast quickly began to disintegrate and disappeared without a trace after a while.
At this moment, the other demon beasts and demon plants were also fleeing.
Tie MU"s group did not give chase. The enchanting woman did not give chase either. Her expression was very unsightly.
To them, there was no meaning in killing these monster beasts and monster plants.
They had no use for the corpse of a rank-8 monster. In the outside world, they could kill it and bring it back to make a divine weapon.
In this place, there was no point in creating a divine weapon.
They all had divine weapons!
At this moment, their only goal was to enter the boundary and not fight to the death with this group of original creatures, the monster beasts, and the monster plants.
A rank-9 killing a rank-8 might seem simple, but the enchanting woman had expended a large amount of mentality in this short period of time. Even her imperishable substance had been greatly consumed. She could not cultivate at the moment, so she could not even replenish it.
However, the enchanting woman had had enough of these creatures. After they fled, she said hatefully,""d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! They"ve been coming here every day for the past month! I can"t kill them!"
This was not the first time. In the beginning, their mentality and imperishable substance were full. The first time they attacked, the two rank-9s killed a large number of Fey beasts and Fey plants.
He thought that he had scared off these native creatures, but he didn"t expect that not only did he not scare them off, but he also attracted even more trouble. These guys were too vengeful and attacked every day.
Right now, she and tie mu had used up more than half of their spiritual energy, and it was difficult to replenish it.
The people from Star Town City hadn"t arrived yet, so they didn"t dare to use up all their strength. Otherwise, when the experts from Star Town City arrived, they would be in trouble if they fought with the newly-arrived enemy.
The woman was cursing, and tie MU"s expression wasn"t too good.
After glancing at the few resurrected martial artists hiding in the corner, tie mu roared,""Continue fighting!"
As soon as he said that, a rank-7 martial artist took out a leather whip and started whipping him without a second word.
They were also very annoyed and frustrated.
These days, although they had repelled these monster beasts and monster plants, many people had died.
The first batch of restricted zones and rank-9s had 8 people.
The second batch had a total of 5 high-ranks.
The third batch, 4 high-ranks.
The 17 high-ranked powerhouses did not suffer any losses in the land of the far west. When they pa.s.sed by the land of the far west, the people from the Forbidden Zone greeted the myriad demon mountain.
However, some people died in the forbidden Sea.
Of course, the people from the Forbidden Zone did not die. They carried King song"s token and crossed the sea safely. The last two groups of people lost two rank-7s in the forbidden Sea due to an accident.
When they reached the Forest of Death, another two rank-7s fell.
The death of a rank-7 was still bearable for a few of them.
The key was that a rank-9 powerhouse in the Forbidden Zone was too unlucky. He fought with the original creature on the first night. As a result, the battle was too intense and he attacked the sealed world, causing the sealed world to counterattack and burst out with an extremely powerful spiritual attack. He died!
He was not the only one who had fallen. A few rank-7 and 8 powerhouses nearby were almost killed instantly, including those original-form monsters and plants.
Now, there were only two rank-9s, two rank-8s, and four rank-7 martial artists left.
And the original creature was still constantly hara.s.sing them, which made these people extremely annoyed.
There wouldn"t be much benefit in killing him, and he had to be careful of dying.
If they didn"t kill them, the other party would come every day. These native creatures were used to the environment here. Although it was difficult for them to recover their energy and spiritual power, they were more adapted to fighting without energy and spiritual power.
……
Tie mu and his group repelled the demonic beasts and plants and continued to whip the human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners.
In the wall.
w.a.n.g Jinyang"s body trembled slightly, his eyes red."Teacher ... Teacher is still alive!"
Zhang Qingnan really didn"t die!
He was still alive!
Zhang Qingnan was one of the human martial artists being whipped. Even though Zhang Qingnan"s clothes were in tatters and his hair covered his face, he could still recognize him!
That was his teacher!
Zhang Qingnan hadn"t actually taught him for a long time.
It had only been less than a year!
He entered the school in September 2007. By May 2008, Zhang Qingnan had been trapped in the catacombs.
No one could understand that this period of time was actually the toughest period of w.a.n.g Jinyang"s martial arts journey.
Before he became a martial artist, his talent did not show.
He barely managed to get into Nanjiang martial arts university with a score that crossed the line.
For a martial arts student like him who had barely crossed the line to enter nmau, he would at most be a.s.signed to a rank-3 instructor.
At that time, Zhang Qingnan was already a peak rank-5 martial artist.
In the huge Nanjiang martial arts university, there were not many rank-6 martial artists. The peak rank-5 Zhang Qingnan was young and strong. He was even trained to be the next Vice-Chancellor.
No one would have thought that Zhang Qingnan, who was no longer planning to take in any students during that year"s sub-academy examination, would take a fancy to w.a.n.g Jinyang, who had only performed so-so in the sub-academy examination.
A peak rank-5 martial artist had taken in a student whose vitality was around 120Cal.
At that time, the entire Nanjiang martial arts university was in an uproar.
This was similar to mcmau, where a Dean-level powerhouse accepted an mcmau student who had just crossed the line.
"Would powerhouses like Luo Yichuan and Chen Zhenhua accept a student with a vitality of around 130Cal?
In Fang Ping"s batch, a few instructors who had not reached peak rank-6 would not accept aspiring martial artists as their students. Even if they did, they would only accept twice-honed aspiring martial artists.
w.a.n.g Jinyang"s memory of this was still fresh in his mind.
It was also because of Zhang Qingnan"s existence that he was able to quickly overcome the difficult time of the aspiring martial artist stage. After entering rank-1, he had truly displayed his talent and was valued by the school.
That was how w.a.n.g Jinyang came to be later, when he went south to Magic City, then North to capital city, and claimed the t.i.tle of proud Son of Heaven.
"Perhaps without Zhang Qingnan, he would still have reached this stage. However, there are no" ifs "in this world. Perhaps, without Zhang Qingnan, he might still be struggling in the lower ranks.
The beginning of martial arts was always the most difficult.
At this moment, seeing that his teacher was still alive and being flogged, w.a.n.g Jinyang"s eyes were bloodshot and he clenched his fists!
He had told himself time and time again that even if his teacher was alive, he might not be able to save her in the current situation. He was satisfied with just one look at his teacher.
However, when he saw his teacher being whipped, w.a.n.g Jinyang was still seething with anger. He wanted nothing more than to charge out and kill these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!
Fang ping tugged at him lightly and said in a low voice, "Don"t be ras.h.!.+ As long as he was alive, he would have a chance! All we can do now is wait for the right time! It"s not the time to be impulsive!"
"Phew ..."
w.a.n.g Jinyang took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. His eyes were cold as he said,"I understand!"
Seeing that he had quieted down, Fang ping then said,"Wait for the right time! The people from Star Town City hadn"t arrived yet, and rose city"s mayor was in hiding. This was an opportunity! If the opportunity is right, we still have a chance to save them.
These people are still holding back most of their strength ... If we really exhaust their spiritual force and energy, we might still have a chance even if there are no other people!"
As he said that, Fang ping licked his lips and said in a low voice,"Now, it"s time to find Rose city"s Governor. Find him, find him, and think of a way to make them fight. That"s the wisest choice!"
"I"m afraid it won"t be that easy!"w.a.n.g Jinyang narrowed his eyes.
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!"
Fang ping smiled lightly and said,"I"m very excited to personally direct a rank-9 fight!" Of course, it"s also very exciting. We"re walking on the steel wire of death, but ... Are we afraid of death?"
"I"m not afraid!"
"I"m scared. "
Fang ping suddenly changed the topic and said in a low voice, "That"s why safety is the most important. There"s only hope if we don"t die. Don"t be rash. Old w.a.n.g, it"s fine if you die, but don"t screw me over."
w.a.n.g Jinyang"s face darkened!
F * ck, you"re so fired up, and you suddenly said this. Who are you trying to disgust?
