Chapter 137: Strange Little Fat Cat, Egg-filled Pancake Beyond God (6k)
Wu Jianqing asked loudly, "Tyrannosaurus, calm down! If we rush directly to their base camp, we will be courting death! They have many A+-level experts!"
Although the Shenlong tribe has declined a bit in the last few hundred years, their ancestors were once very wealthy and have a good understanding of the new humans and the overall situation on the continent.
Although the inheritance of the Divine Blessed Continent has been interrupted, the tribes can only rely on the clan artifacts to barely maintain the missing practice system, but they still use the old "Heaven", "Earth", "Xuan" and "Huang" levels.
Corresponding to players' "S", "A", "B", and "C" levels.
As for the ordinary people here
Lu Wenwu and the others had felt it before, and found that even women, children and the elderly were at the D-level.
As the old Dragon King went all-in that year, he lost all the top combat power and top resources of the entire God-blessed Continent. Over the past ten thousand years, the overall level of the continent has been on a downward trend.
This is not only reflected in the fact that it is becoming increasingly difficult for the old survivors of the Divine Blessed Continent to practice, but also that it is difficult for top-level powerhouses to emerge.
At the same time, the same is true for strange beasts and new humans.
The once grand scene of cultivation where the Heaven-level and Earth-level were worse than dogs no longer exists. Now even the existence of Heaven-level powerhouses on the mainland is a question mark.
At least according to Long Wensheng, who is at the peak of the Earth level, within tens of thousands of miles, whether it is the old survivors, new humans, or strange beasts, the strongest one is at his level.
So, in fact, Lu Wenwu’s idea was not a rash one.
At least it took several minutes of heat to reach this conclusion.
I vs. Long Wensheng, and I beat him.
Long Wensheng = the top combat force on the continent.
I = beat the top combat power in the continent.
Myself = Little Invincible.
The logic is very smooth!
If killing them can reduce attribute points, then I can take this opportunity to reap a lot of benefits, right?
So, after Lu Wenwu was sure that there was nothing wrong with his idea, he replied confidently: "If there is, then there is. If they come, we will fight. If we can't beat them, we will run away!"
"When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy halts, I harass; when the enemy tires, I attack; when the enemy retreats, I pursue. This is the profound sixteen-character mantra of the Art of War. Only by mastering it can one achieve unparalleled command on the battlefield."
Xu Changjiang said quietly, "But there are at least a dozen A+ new humans in Xincheng. Can we really escape?"
"able."
Lu Wenwu and the pretentious AC cow nodded at the same time.
Wu Jianqing thought about it and nodded slowly: "It seems that it can be done!"
Xu Changjiang: “????”
Okay, okay, I’m the waste.
"So what? Are we going to fight them?" Lu Wenwu smiled kindly. "You can't just sit here and wait for death. You don't want to end up with such a poor performance on a hidden mission and a side quest, do you?"
The contrived AC cow was the first to respond: "Blast them!"
Wu Jianqing's sword energy surged into the sky: "Fight them!"
"What kind of monsters are I waiting for? One hidden quest and one side quest aren't enough." Xu Changjiang sighed. "Forget it, buddy, I'm willing to sacrifice my life for a gentleman, so I'll just fight them!"
"Okay, okay, unanimously approved." Lu Wenwu smiled even more happily. "I'll go to the kitchen and stew the sheep's head we slaughtered earlier, and make some other dishes. We'll have a big meal today, and we'll set off tomorrow!"
Lu Wenwu is a typical example of someone who does what he says immediately.
If he had not been concerned about the physical fitness and mental state of his teammates, he might have already set off with Maomao on the night he decided to go straight to Xincheng to fight the enemy.
The next day, Long Yuanhai was shocked to learn that the group was heading to Xincheng.
The old man, who was nearly five hundred years old, almost died without catching his breath. Trembling and terrified, he hurriedly asked whether the young master was angry because of the poor hospitality of the Shenlong tribe.
Lu Wenwu expressed strong opposition to the other party calling him Young Master.
This sounds too much like a cannon fodder character in a fantasy novel.
But no one cared except him, and Lu Wenwu's protest was ineffective.
The three teammates were busy explaining to the terrified Shenlong people that they had no intention of being dissatisfied with them.
An hour later, Long Yuanhai joined the team heading to the new city as a guide.
Lu Wenwu originally wanted to refuse.
When fighting guerrilla warfare, the fewer people there are, the more convenient it is. It's not like you have to gather a team to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, and you have to take care of the people who come.
But Xu Changjiang persuaded him with both reason and emotion, saying that Long Yuanhai could bring great convenience to several people, and he reluctantly agreed.
The group headed towards the central region in the north, walking through the mountains with thousands of ravines and rocks.
Originally, Lu Wenwu wanted everyone to fly there together, which would be simple, convenient, and fast.
But he was dissuaded from doing so by Long Yuanhai.
According to him, the battle between the gods ten thousand years ago shattered the sky, the earth and the ocean, and the whole world changed.
The Sea of Absurdity and the Realm of Chaos both appeared at that time.
The center of the continent is disconnected from the entire continent and becomes like an island in a lake.
In addition, since that time, the sky has become chaotic, and even heavenly-level strongmen would die inexplicably while flying in the air.
Over time, the sky became a forbidden zone for all living things.
Even the former flying species among the strange beasts had to come to the earth to survive, or simply be wiped out.
Lu Wenwu looked up at the sky.
It was clearly daytime, but the sky was like broken glass, with black spots flashing suddenly and plunging the entire earth into darkness like night.
The laws of nature seem to have become obsolete on this planet, and counterintuitive things exist everywhere.
Walking in the treacherous forest, Long Yuanhai and several of his teammates began to feel increasingly nervous.
The reason why the Dragon Tribe can survive here is not because they are really strong, but because the hordes of high-level exotic beasts are too lazy to bother with them, the little Karami, and are always fighting with the new humans.
They could barely defeat small groups of strange beasts.
If those high-level exotic beasts launch a beast tide to sweep through, even a hundred dragon tribes will be wiped out.
The pure survivors of the old times have long fallen behind the version and can no longer adapt to this era. Normal practitioners of the same level cannot defeat the two powerful races.
Long Yuanhai, who was leading the way, couldn't help but sigh, "Ever since the clan's sacred artifact was completely extinguished, dozens of clan members have undergone strange changes and turned into terrifying monsters."
"If it weren't for the Young Master's arrival, within a thousand years, the Shenlong Tribe would have become a collective monster, just like those tribes that lost their sacred artifacts. Those once-great tribes all suffered the same fate."
"What will happen after falling?" asked Xu Changjiang.
"It's fine. I even feel like their minds haven't been changed, only their bodies have problems." Long Yuanhai shook his head. "Wensheng and I discussed with the elders. We wanted to keep those with physical changes, but they couldn't accept it and ended their lives."
"What happens to those who don't commit suicide after falling into depravity?" Xu Changjiang continued to ask, "Will they join the new humans?"
"I'm truly sorry, I have no way of knowing." Long Yuanhai, who didn't respond, looked a little embarrassed. "But I'm certain the strange beasts won't accept them."
Lu Wenwu shrugged habitually: "It doesn't matter. What I'm more curious about is, can we go kill the alien beasts? I need a large number of peak-level A-level alien beasts to restore my strength."
He had just dealt with several strange beasts on the road.
This thing can explode attribute points.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could reap a large harvest?
Long Yuanhai was shocked and said quickly, "Young Master, please don't even think of that! Those strange beasts are extremely sensitive to the aura of the divine dragon. Even if servants like us approach a gathering place of strange beasts, it could trigger a beast tide."
It’s all the old Dragon King’s fault.
It was simply because he had killed so cruelly back then that these strange beasts had the aura of the True Dragon Clan engraved into their DNA.
In this way, as soon as the strange beasts discover the breath of dragon, they will instantly go crazy and chase it down with all their might.
This is also the reason why the Shenlong tribe, which had countless powerful people at its peak, did not dare to try to expand the tribe.
Unfortunately, there are too many powerful monsters among the strange beasts.
It’s easy to crush the number by more than ten times, how can we play this game?
Not to mention them, even Lu Wenwu couldn't stand a one vs. more than ten people in an A+ level battle!
This situation makes Lu Wenwu feel very sorry.
The plan of a big splash failed before it even started.
He thought about trying to steal it by Lingtian Mountain, but he was afraid that the other party would send people to ambush his birthplace, resulting in him only getting a very bad [excellent] evaluation.
So forget it, it would be simpler and more direct to go to the new city and cause trouble for the new human leaders.
It would be bad if something went wrong and I couldn't get the [Miracle] rating.
Even if they only used their legs, the group was moving at an extremely fast speed.
In about six days, they had traveled tens of thousands of miles and reached the eastern edge of the Divine Blessed Continent, which was only separated from the central region by a gorge.
Along the way, Long Yuanhai fully proved his necessity.
He led a group of people over mountains and across rivers, dodging left and right, and easily arrived here without alarming any tribes of strange beasts.
If he hadn't led the way, Lu Wenwu and his friends might still be rushing through the encirclement of strange beasts.
"Young Master, please don't be reckless. There is a great danger ahead."
Just as Lu Wenwu was about to step onto the giant suspension bridge in front of him and rush directly to the new city in one breath, Long Yuanhai stopped him.
Blocking the way ahead was a huge, bottomless canyon. No one had measured its exact width, but it was at least seven or eight kilometers.
There was a thick fog above the canyon, with thick white smoke floating in the air, making it difficult to see the scenery on the other side clearly.
A strange beast like an elephant was walking slowly towards the canyon from a great distance, its four hooves stomping on the ground, making dull sounds.
However, just as it reached the edge of the canyon, its originally huge and strong body suddenly froze on the spot like a stone sculpture.
The intelligence in his eyes suddenly turned into chaos, appearing a dead gray.
Three seconds later, the tall and strong figure fell into the canyon like pushing a golden mountain or overturning a jade pillar, and there was no sound anymore.
The white mist and darkness easily swallowed up an A+ level monster without even a ripple.
"What is that?" Lu Wenwu asked curiously.
"It's the curse of the Cat God."
For the first time, fear appeared on Long Yuanhai's old face.
"Rumor has it that beneath this canyon lies the body of the Cat God. He was a great being, so great that even the former Dragon Ancestor treated him with respect. He was one of the earliest gods to fall in the catastrophe ten thousand years ago."
"In the myths that have been passed down to this day, no one remembers what the Cat God looked like ten thousand years ago. No one even knows if He truly appeared in the form of a cat."
"But what is certain now is that his body has become a natural barrier between the Central Realm and other areas. It's difficult for the creatures inside to escape, and it's difficult for us to enter."
"Every living being who attempts to pass through this barrier has a chance of encountering the image of the Cat God's past within this white mist. Once encountered, death is imminent. Only peak Heaven-level powerhouses have a chance of survival."
Xu Changjiang asked in confusion: "What's the reason?"
Long Yuanhai shook his head. "I don't know, and no one knows. The strongest creatures on the continent today are only at the peak of the Earth level. Even Heavenly-level warriors haven't appeared in two or three thousand years. Who could possibly reach the realm of the gods of the past?"
"Then why didn't you tell us before you left?"
Wu Jianqing was somewhat dissatisfied, thinking that his time these past few days had been wasted.
"Young Master is unruly. You all should know this better than I do. Even if I tell you, will you give up this plan?" Long Haiyuan turned his gaze to Lu Wenwu and said with a smile, "What's more, since Young Master has already made a decision, I will just do it. I have already put my life and death aside."
Lu Wenwu was a little embarrassed and said hesitantly, "You don't have to be like this. Really, if my life is in danger, I can go by myself. I have strong connections with the underworld and have a good relationship with the King of Hell. I won't die."
"Young Master, I appreciate your kindness," Long Yuanhai said cheerfully. "But the Dragon God Tribe has been protected by the Dragon Ancestor for thousands of years. Even if it's not for this world, at least let me, a half-buried man, do something for the Dragon Ancestor."
"If you can't go back this time, what will happen to the Shenlong tribe?" Lu Wenwu's voice was a little low.
Long Yuanhai smiled carefreely: "If Young Master fails to accomplish this task, then the existence of this old servant and the Shenlong Tribe will no longer be important, right?"
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Seeing that the other party insisted, Lu Wenwu stopped persuading him.
They are all adults who are almost 500 years old and can be responsible for their own choices.
"So, how do we get through this canyon where the cat god's body is buried?"
"Prepare to die, then close your eyes. Never open them. Keep moving forward until you reach the other side," Long Yuanhai said succinctly. "The records left by our ancestors say that closing your eyes and charging forward will protect you from the cat god's curse. I can't guarantee it will work, but we've done this many times before, and it always worked."
"Then there's nothing more to say. Let's go."
After hearing this, Lu Wenwu immediately took Maomao back to Lingtian Mountain and walked towards the giant suspension bridge in front of him.
No hesitation, no thinking.
He didn't even close his eyes!
Long Yuanhai, who had always regarded himself as a servant, seemed to have not expected Lu Wenwu to be so decisive. He immediately closed his eyes and followed, relying only on the instinct he had cultivated to sense the direction.
The other three teammates followed closely behind.
It's not clear when the suspension bridge was built, but when you step on it, it makes a creaking sound as if it might collapse at any time.
Lu Wenwu walked forward with the Eye of Insight open, and his figure disappeared into the white mist.
Nothing seemed different, and he didn't see the so-called cat god curse at all.
He strolled along the suspension bridge until he reached the center.
Suddenly, Lu Wenwu saw a gray and white fat cat squatting in front of him, staring at him blankly.
Lu Wenwu didn't know when the other party appeared there.
It seemed to appear suddenly, without any trace or sign.
[The God of Knowledge's Corrupted Chaos True Spirit (?)]: ??? / ???
[Current Status]: Divine origin continues to dissipate, unconscious, without intelligence,???
The God of Knowledge is a cute little kitten?
What would the curse be?
He had received rewards from the dimensional demon god Disaster, so he was completely immune to the curse that even S-rank warriors could not kill.
Don’t know what will happen?
Lu Wenwu squatted down and looked at the little fat cat that looked like a sculpture from a distance. He felt that its eyes seemed to contain the vastness of the sea of stars.
【Judgment in progress】

【You have gained knowledge: Postpartum care for sows】
Lu Wenwu: “???”
What the hell?
Lu Wenwu was stunned on the spot, staring at the little fat cat in a daze, his face full of confusion.

Lu Wenwu almost thought he had seen it wrong and quickly rubbed his eyes.
These three protagonists
Why does it always look so familiar?
Just looking at the name gives me the feeling of An Lushan entering Chang'an City.
【Judgment in progress】
[Successful]
[You have acquired knowledge. In ancient times, the Tiger Tooth sect's gaming anchor, Wang Ba, had a magical instrument in his right hand that, after years of nurturing, gave birth to a spirit, allowing him to inflict great harm and acquire the art of the Iron Mouth.]
Lu Wenwu didn't move, and the little fat cat didn't move either.
The man and the cat just stared at each other with wide eyes, and the system was also making crazy judgments.
All were judged successful.
Lu Wenwu also gained a lot of strange and interesting knowledge.
Some are real, some look awesome even though I don’t understand them, and some look fake at first glance.
Suddenly, the text prompt that popped up on the system changed.
【Judgment in progress】
【Failed】
[You are suffering from a fatal injury]

【Judgment in progress】

[You have obtained a special buff [Blessing of Knowledge]]
Before Lu Wenwu could react, he felt as if his soul had been sublimated to some extent, and his whole body seemed to be clear in an instant.
"This is.?"
Lu Wenwu didn't know what this [Blessing of Knowledge] was.
But he is in better shape than ever before, and he is full of energy.
He immediately called out to Long Yuanhai and several blindfolded teammates to pass quickly, as he had some understanding and had to stay here for a while.
Everyone knew Lu Wenwu's abilities, so they didn't act too pretentiously. They immediately followed his instructions, walked around the little fat cat, and quickly headed towards the central area.
After his teammates left, he immediately took out the materials and stove for making egg-filled pancakes from his backpack, kneaded the dough on the spot, lit the stove, and started cooking.
The whole process was done in one go, and Lu Wenwu was completely immersed in a special state.
When he came to his senses, he had a stack of golden, crispy, sweet and tempting golden-filled pancakes in his hands.
The sauce is stewing in a small pot nearby, emitting an extremely rich aroma that is intoxicating.
He subconsciously brushed the sauce on it, picked up some vegetables, assembled the stuffed pancake, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
In just a moment, his mind went blank and he almost felt like he was floating in the air.
Lu Wenwu was just like the gourmets of the past, eating the entire egg-filled pancake bite by bite, leaving not a single bit.
It was an ultimate delicacy that was almost difficult to describe in words.
It is a double enjoyment for the soul and taste buds.
He looked at it with his eyes of insight, and the label given was still [Fifth Brother's Spiritual Meal Egg-filled Pancake (All Laws Connected to God)].
But Lu Wenwu could deeply feel that the stuffed pancakes he had just made had definitely surpassed the level of the God of All Laws and reached a whole new realm.
When he tried to pursue that ultimate state again, he found that his previous state of omniscience and omnipotence had disappeared without a trace.
Only some seemingly plausible insights remain.
Lu Wenwu still couldn't help laughing.
He solemnly put the batch of egg-filled pancakes and the small pot of sauce he had just made into his personal backpack, with a smile on his face that was so bright that he could hardly suppress it.
By chance, I was fortunate enough to get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the road ahead. This is a great happiness!
Endless food!
All things are divine?
One day, I will surpass the gods!
While Lu Wenwu was cleaning up the kitchen utensils, he was also recalling the wonderful feeling he had before, trying his best to recall the production steps and cooking methods, and trying to figure out the principles behind them.
It wasn't until everything was cleaned up that he finally discovered it.
I didn't know when I completed a side quest.
