Chapter 279: Sacred Artifact
"Huh! I have made some progress, but I am still far from one thousandth of a second. I will try to practice for a few more days."
Lin Zhen stood up and walked out of the tent. After being transformed by the Tyrant Stone, his ears and eyes became sharp and he could hear some sounds that other people could not hear clearly or could not hear at all.
Wu Hai was talking on the intercom in his tent.
"What? Sacred artifact? Tyrannosaurus' lair? Okay. The mask shouldn't be. I'll observe it."
Some intermittent voices and some strange sounds were heard one after another.
Lin Zhen returned to the tent to rest for a while. When the sky was almost bright, Wu Hai called on people to continue moving forward.
Wu Hai thought everything was fine, so he said, "Let's speed up. There is a Tyrannosaurus lair beyond the entrance to the second floor. We should try to get there within two days and explore the lair. Several waves of warriors have come here without success. As long as we can gain something from the Tyrannosaurus lair, it will be worth the trip even if we can't enter the second floor."
The team continued to move forward, and Qin Huachang came to Lin Zhen and said, "Brother, we are going to explore the lair of Tyrannosaurus Rex. I believe you will gain a lot."
Lin Zhen asked Qin Huachang curiously, "Why do you always call me little brother?"
Qin Huachang lowered her pretty eyebrows slightly: "I told you not to be angry."
"Of course not."
Qin Huashang then quietly said to Lin Zhen: "You know, I think you look a bit like someone."
"Like whom?"
"My idol, Lin Zhen."
Hearing Qin Huachang's words, Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Qin Huachang, who seemed a little shy.
"Oh, it's Lin Zhen. It seems that person is about the same size as me."
"Well, I like him very much. I have been following him since he defeated several generals of the Russian Empire in the Gale. At that time, I was not married yet and I dreamed of marrying him. Unfortunately, I ended up getting married."
"What about Sister Qin's husband?" Lin Zhen didn't expect that this beautiful young woman was actually his fan, so he became more interested in the conversation.
"He died on the day we got married. He died in a fight while helping his warrior friend." Qin Huashang sounded a little depressed when she said this.
"Then you should find another one."
"Forget it. I don't want to think about this problem right now. I have collected all the highlights about Lin Zhen, and I will take them out to read whenever I have nothing to do. However, Lin Zhen is too far away from me. I may only be able to reach the Quasi-Star Realm in this life. Lin Zhen is destined to soar to the sky. But when I see you, I think you are very similar to him. I am familiar with everything about him. Your outline and charm are almost the same as his."
Lin Zhen smiled but said nothing, thinking that women's observation skills were truly terrifying.
Qin Huashang continued, "Sometimes I would think, even if Lin Zhen is not my husband, he could be my brother. I can still hug him openly, and he can hug me when he is in a good mood. If he can really hug me once, then I will die without regrets!"
Looking at this woman who is obviously past the age of dreaming but still loves to dream, Lin Zhen smiled.
Along the way, Qin Huashang showed him highlights about herself.
"This is a photo of him defeating the Russian warriors. Look how young and cute he was back then."
"This was when he came down from Zhaodong Building in Zhaodong. I saw him stepping on the crow with his eyes shining. From that moment on, I was sure that I fell in love with him."
"And this, this is the Ares Arena Qualifiers."
"This is the sword attack when defeating Holof. So cool!"
"This. This is when he was interviewed on TV and said that he would give 600 billion to build the wall of Ice City."
Lin Zhen kept looking through his past. Even he himself had never collected this information, but he didn't expect that this woman had it all.
"Hey! Actually, I shouldn't have come to the ruins of the ancient gods. Wu Hai said a long time ago that we had to go to the second level to explore the Tyrannosaurus nest. I'm not strong enough, but I have nothing to do alone. If there is nothing to stimulate me in life, I think I might die from missing Lin Zhen, so I came here. I didn't expect to meet you. Although you are not Lin Zhen, I feel very close to you. I don't reject you at all. That's why I am willing to be nice to you."
Lin Zhen glanced at Qin Huashang and said, "Sister Qin, you don't want to use me as a substitute for Lin Zhen, do you?"
"Haha, are you willing? An Ming, if we both survive, you can accompany your sister for once instead of Lin Zhen, okay?"
Lin Zhen looked at Qin Huashang in surprise, but unexpectedly, Qin Huashang suddenly laughed and said, "I was just teasing you. Look how scared you are. I'm not that easy-going. You want me but I don't. Humph!"
As she spoke, Qin Huashang rolled her eyes at Lin Zhen, looking quite charming.
Lin Zhen seemed stunned for a moment: "I really envy that person named Lin Zhen. How great it would be if I were him."
In the next three days, Qin Huachang liked to chat with Lin Zhen whenever she had nothing to do, talking about life, dreams, and even the future. She talked about her admiration for Lin Zhen. In addition to being jealous of her, Lin Zhen sometimes seemed very unhappy. Whenever Qin Huachang talked to him about her own affairs, Lin Zhen would ignore her and looked jealous.
The first day was fine, but starting from the second day, Qin Huashang gradually stopped discussing this issue with Lin Zhen, and the relationship between the two gradually became cold.
At night, Lin Zhen would continue his space folding method.
On the first night, Lin Zhen's progress was still very fast, and he completed it in one six hundred and seventy-tenth of a second.
The second night was a little slower, and Lin Zhen improved to one eight hundred and fifty-one second, not far from one thousandth of a second.
On the third night, Lin Zhen made a concerted effort and directly improved the time to one nine hundred and ninety-ninth of a second, but he was always a little short of reaching one thousandth of a second.
"It's still a little short. My current skills are already so proficient that there's no point in improving them. What I need now is a little bit of growth in strength. I haven't had the opportunity to practice since I came here. Maybe if I meditate and practice a few times, it would be best if I had an S-level crystal to work with, then I can complete the transformation within one thousandth of a second. Unfortunately, I don't have an S-level crystal now. If I use a quasi-S-level crystal, it would be fine, but it would take a lot of time, and I'm afraid I don't have that much time."
On the morning of the fourth day, the team finally arrived at a mountain peak.
The mountain is very high, almost reaching the ceiling of the first floor. There is a metal door at the top, which is the entrance to the second floor. However, there is also a pterosaur's nest nearby. Many pterosaurs live and hover on the top of the mountain. It is definitely not an easy task to get through.
Several teams have gathered at the foot of the mountain, and it seems that they are all preparing to explore the Tyrannosaurus's nest.
"We are late. There are already quite a few teams here." Qin Huashang said.
Wu Hai shook his head: "It's not too late. These teams haven't entered yet. This Tyrannosaurus lair is not something that a small team can explore. I came here hoping to unite with other teams."
Seeing Wu Hai's team coming, a team from the European Union whistled: "Another team is coming, another team that heard about the holy artifact and wants to get a piece of the pie."
Luo Fei was stunned for a moment: "What holy weapon did he talk about?"
Zhang Zhen said coldly: "There have been rumors in the past few days that there are holy artifacts in the Tyrannosaurus's lair. Holy artifacts are things that are one level higher than top-grade star artifacts. Who knows if it is true or not, but those who come here to the Star Realm basically go to the second level to explore. There are no Star Realms on the first level. If there is a holy artifact, it depends on which team can get it."
Lin Zhen didn't ask any further questions. The reason why he followed to the Tyrannosaurus Rex's lair and did not leave was for the holy weapon.
Of course he knew about holy weapons. Star weapons are called standard weapons in the interstellar world and are products produced on an assembly line. Only holy weapons are weapons used exclusively by masters. The strongest weapon Lin Zhen had ever used in his previous life was a lower-grade holy sword. If he wanted to fight against masters in the star realm in this life, he must have a holy weapon.
Wu Hai walked over and started chatting with several team leaders.
There are three teams here, one from India, one from the African Union, and one from the European Union.
The strength of each team is similar to Wu Hai's, led by a quasi-star realm master, followed by several level nine and eight war gods. Each team also has a spiritual master, but Lin Zhen's strength on Wu Hai's side seems to be a little weaker, with a level seven war god and a late gold spiritual master. The other teams have level nine war gods, two peak gold spiritual masters, and one early dark gold spiritual master.
The leader of the African Union even knew Wu Hai. When he saw Wu Hai coming over, he greeted him: "Wu, you are finally here."
"Ebola, you haven't gone to the second floor yet? Haven't you been here for a month?"
"Yes, but Wu, you have to know that the second level is not that easy to get to. I have seen three teams going to the second level from the top of the mountain, but none of them lasted a day. They all retreated very quickly. One team had only two people left, and another had only one person left."
"So dangerous?" Wu Hai was stunned. He had always been longing for the second floor.
"The whole team is in the quasi-star realm. We can only sneak around there. Do you think it's dangerous? That's the world of the star realm." Ebola spread his hands.
Wu Hai was a little frustrated when he heard this: "Have you entered the Tyrannosaurus Rex's lair?"
"We've been in before, but the cave is very deep. We went in a few times but didn't get very far before retreating, and we suffered heavy casualties each time. Now our team is put together temporarily, so we'll go in with more people."
"Then let's go in now." Wu Hai couldn't wait any longer.
