Chapter 163 Heading to the Ancient Capital
During Qin Chen's quiet retreat, many things happened outside. For example, the World University Competition trials had already begun. Almost everyone in the university started to sign up and participate in the trials. Even if they knew they would not be selected, they still had to participate. This was a dream of all college students. If they did not participate, they would probably regret it for the rest of their lives many years later.
However, there are also some people who do not participate and do not join the World Academy Competition through the academy, such as Zhao Manyan, who simply bought his way in with money. For example, other powerful families, relying on the power and connections of their family, find big shots who have votes for the World Academy Competition and ask for their votes. Qin Chen is a typical example.
The World Academy Competition is a competition jointly organized by major families and major forces around the world. It is not as simple as gathering the most powerful dozen young people from each country to fight. It involves the games and calculations of many major forces. The World Academy Competition has never been as simple as it seems on the surface. The real value of the World Academy Competition lies in the calculations and hidden interests hidden behind the scenes.
After two months of retreat, Qin Chen finally upgraded his fire element to the second advanced level, which meant that his retreat was over.
"Alas, relying on my own practice, my advancement is too slow. I still need to find some external force to assist my practice."
Although Qin Chen broke through the second level of the high level, he was still unhappy because it was too slow. Compared with other people, his cultivation speed was already very fast. Not only did he have the blessing of the high-level soul-level Galaxy Magic Weapon, but he also had the blessing of the peak soul-level magic weapon, the Demon Sword. The most important thing was that the two could be superimposed on each other, allowing Qin Chen's cultivation speed to advance by leaps and bounds.
However, Qin Chen now has six magic systems. If he practices in every magic system in the same way, his practice speed will still be slow compared to other geniuses.
“Ding Ding Ding!!!!!”
"Mo Fan, what do you want to talk to me about? Have you gotten into trouble and are you looking for my protection?"
Qin Chen looked at the note in the phone, clicked to answer the call, and then asked. Mo Fan rarely contacted him actively, so he asked curiously.
"Brother Chen, Zhang Xiaohou got into trouble while on a mission in the ancient capital. Didn't you ask Lingling to place a location device on Zhang Xiaohou? Is there any way to find Zhang Xiaohou?"
Mo Fan asked hurriedly. When they were in Dunhuang and were preparing to leave, Qin Chen asked Lingling to give Zhang Xiaohou a locator. This locator could locate Zhang Xiaohou's position within a certain range. Qin Chen joked that it was for the purpose of collecting Zhang Xiaohou's body in the future.
Although Zhang Xiaohou was very curious about why Qin Chen did this, he believed that Qin Chen, Mo Fan and others would not harm him, so he agreed and kept wearing the locator on his body, even when he was on a mission.
"Go to Qingtian Hunting House to find Lingling. She will tell you how to find Zhang Xiaohou. You don't have to worry too much. Zhang Xiaohou is lucky and will not die so easily. He may be trapped somewhere and can't come back." Qin Chen said.
"Well, I don't believe that the monkey died like that either."
Mo Fan quickly hung up the phone and rushed to Qingtian Hunting Ground. Even if it was the qualifiers for the World Academy Competition, Mo Fan would simply give up and not participate. In his heart, the World Academy Competition was not as important as his brother Zhang Xiaohou.
"Finally, we are back to the original track. I have warned Zhang Xiaohou to be careful before, but I didn't expect that what was going to happen would still happen. Forget it, I just happened to have a breakthrough. It's time to go to the ancient capital to verify my guess."
Qin Chen looked into the distance, his eyes were as deep as the starry sky on the other side, as if containing endless calculations and thoughts.
In the backyard of Qingtian Hunting Ground, four little guys, Little Yan Ji, Little Jiaolong, Little Emperor, Little Tianju and Lingling were playing happily. Lingling was sitting beside them, directing Little Yan Ji and Little Jiaolong to catch Little Tianju and Little Emperor. Little Tianju was very fast and Little Yan Ji could not catch it. Every time Little Emperor was about to catch Little Jiaolong, he would release a stone wall to block its claws.
With Lingling's clever command and the fact that little Tianju and little Emperor were restricted in their powers, little Yanji and little Jiaolong both had a chance of winning. Whoever won would get an extra snack, so the four little guys were all very serious.
Suddenly, the four little guys looked outside at the same time, and then rushed to the door in unison, no longer caring about playing games.
"Hey, little guys, how are you doing these days?"
Qin Chen walked in from the door and said with a smile.
"whisper!!!!"
Little Yan Ji first circled in front of Qin Chen's head for a few times, and then flew to the top of Qin Chen's head to act as a flame hairstyle.
"roar!!!!"
The little dragon jumped onto Qin Chen's shoulders and hung around his neck, acting as a deep blue scarf.
"hiss!!!!"
The little Tianju couldn't become as small as the little Yanji and the little Jiaolong, but it still circled around Qin Chen a few times and rubbed its head against Qin Chen's clothes.
“Gurgle gurgle!!”
The little emperor became calmer, but he still had the mentality of a child and pulled Qin Chen's clothes to eat snacks.
"Humph, you have no conscience."
When Lingling saw Qin Chen coming, all the little guys ran over and immediately pouted and said.
"Xiao Lingling, thanks to you for taking care of these little guys these days."
Qin Chen saw Lingling's jealous look, smiled slightly, touched her little head and said.
"Don't touch my head, I still need to grow taller."
Lingling shook off Qin Chen's hand and said dissatisfiedly.
"I'm going to take these little guys to participate in the competition to give them some experience. I'm leaving first."
Qin Chen said, and then took the four little guys out. Qin Chen didn't want to tell Lingling that he was going to the ancient capital, otherwise, with Lingling's adventurous personality, she would definitely follow him.
The ancient capital is too dangerous right now. Even if Qin Chen goes there, he can only protect himself. It is too dangerous for Lingling to go there, so Qin Chen does not want Lingling to get involved in this muddy water.
Ancient Capital Qin Chen took a plane to Xianyang Airport, and then rode a small Tianju to the ancient capital. At this moment, the entire ancient capital was on alert, and many mages were patrolling outside. Qin Chen looked up at the ancient capital's city wall. This was the outer city wall of the ancient capital, used to prevent the undead from attacking the city at night. This was a tall wall that took countless earth mages to build, protecting the safety of the ancient capital.
Although the ancient capital is not as famous as the Magic City today, the historical heritage of the ancient capital is much deeper than that of the Magic City. The capitals of ancient dynasties were once in the ancient capital. The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties means that six dynasties once settled in the ancient capital. You can imagine how deep the heritage of the ancient capital is.
But it became an ancient capital and also its downfall, because too many dynasties in the past regarded the ancient capital as the center, so that after the death of those emperors, their tombs were buried around the ancient capital. Today, the ancient capital is surrounded by tombs underground.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Because the ancient king created China's undead system and became the originator of China's undead system, almost all emperors who came after him would awaken the undead system. After their death, they would learn from the ancient king to build tombs, and then bury their bodies in the tombs, transforming them into undead and allowing themselves to live longer.
Not only emperors, but also ministers with some power and strength in ancient times liked to build tombs and be buried in them after their death. Over the thousands of years of Chinese history, there are countless tombs buried in ancient capitals. No one knows how many tombs are buried in the ancient capitals, and how many souls are sleeping underground in the ancient capitals.
There was once a rumor that if all the undead in the ancient capital were to awaken, even the world's oldest country, Dragon Kingdom, would fall apart. Many people thought that this was just a legend, but Qin Chen believed that it was a fact.
After Qin Chen arrived at the ancient capital, he did not look for Mo Fan, nor did he plan to save Zhang Xiaohou, because he knew that Zhang Xiaohou was fine now and did not need his rescue. Just after he arrived at the ancient capital, the quiet seal in his personal space suddenly began to tremble.
"What's going on?"
Qin Chen took out the seal, and the aura of undead that originally emanated from it became even stronger.
"Could this seal become stronger by absorbing the death energy of the undead?"
Qin Chen said doubtfully.
"Forget it, let's go to the Hunter Alliance and get a map first."
After Qin Chen entered the ancient capital, he did not appreciate the scenery of the ancient capital, but went straight to the Hunter Alliance. The map sold in the Hunter Alliance is the latest map, which records various terrains near the ancient capital, the locations of many tombs, places where the undead often appear, and what types of undead there are.
No matter which city it is, the Hunter Alliance is one of the most lively places. Many hunters and mages come in and out here, some come to inquire about the news, some come to accept tasks, and some come to issue tasks. People of all kinds gather here.
"Hello sir, how can I help you?"
A young hunter lady asked politely in the exclusive reception hall for the Master Hunter.
"I need the most comprehensive map of the ancient capital."
Qin Chen's current hunter level has reached a one-star hunter master, and he can use some of the exclusive rights of a hunter master, such as one-on-one service.
"A copy of the Hunter Alliance's latest map, one million each. How many copies do you need?"
The hunter lady smiled and said that although this kind of map is very valuable, because it is a map, it can be copied, so no matter how complete the map is, the price will be lowered.
Qin Chen paid the money without saying a word, took the map and walked out of the Hunter Alliance. Now he needed to verify some conjectures.
Outside the ancient capital It was a flat land. Looking around, there was endless sand and rock, without any vegetation. This place had been ravaged by the undead for many years, and the air was filled with death. All plant life had been corroded by the undead's breath.
