Chapter 225 Boundary Monument
Zhou Wen is a little distressed now. Both his strength and speed attributes have been enhanced by the divine power crystal and have broken through to 21 points.
However, his vitality and physical strength still could not break through, and there were no divine power crystals to obtain now, unless he waited another ten years and entered the temple again when the holy land opened next time.
Unfortunately, Zhou Wen couldn't wait for ten years. Even if he could, the An family probably wouldn't give him another spot.
"How can I break through to twenty-one in terms of physical strength and vitality?" Zhou Wen thought about it over and over again, but couldn't come up with any solution.
"Since there are crystals of divine power in the holy land, there might be some in other dimensional realms as well. We can only look for them in the game dungeons." When Zhou Wen thought of the game dungeons, he couldn't help but think of the golden flying ants and the white cocoon.
Now that his Longmen Flying Technique had made a breakthrough progress and he had also learned the Sky-Extended Flying Technique, he might have a chance to get the white cocoon.
"I originally planned to take you to see those other-dimensional areas that we didn't have the chance to visit when we came here, but now forget it. Let's wait until the next chance." An Sheng said as he drove.
No one objected. Zhou Wen had offended the six major families this time. It was not appropriate for them to continue hanging around outside. It would be better for them to return to Luoyang as soon as possible.
Because of the fear of problems, Ansheng did not choose to fly back, but drove all the way. When the car reached a mountain road, he saw a girl sitting in the middle of the road in front of him, waving to them.
The four people stopped the car and saw that the girl's ankle was seriously injured, as if she had been bitten by something. The wound was very deep and the bones were damaged.
"I was attacked by a dimensional creature nearby. All my companion pets have died in the battle and are injured and can hardly walk. Can you take me to a nearby city?" the girl requested.
"Were you injured near here? There shouldn't be any other-dimensional areas nearby, right?" Li Xuan asked the girl.
"I thought so too, but dimensional creatures appeared here and I almost died because of them," said the girl.
"Where did you meet the dimensional creature? What kind of dimensional creature was it?" An Sheng stared at the girl and asked.
"On the mountain road about a mile ahead, there is a snow-white dimensional creature in the shape of a monkey..." The girl recounted what happened.
After listening to this, Ansheng agreed to let the girl take their car.
Li Xuan found an opportunity when An Sheng was inspecting the car and whispered to An Sheng, "Brother Sheng, is there something wrong with this woman? We just offended the six major families, and we encountered an injured woman in these desolate mountains. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
"If she has a problem, then we should keep her by our side. I would rather keep the enemy in my own hands." An Sheng said.
Li Xuan thought about it and thought it made sense, so he said nothing more.
The car was back on the road. Zhou Wen saw many traces of fighting on the road. There were a lot of gravel and some terrible claw marks. It seemed that the woman did not seem to be lying completely. At least there must have been a battle here before. As for whether her opponent was a dimensional creature or a human, it was hard to say.
Li Xuan was very good at chatting with women and soon started chatting with the woman.
The woman said her surname was Zhang, her name was Zhang Yuzhi, she was from Dongdu, and she was a freelance dimensional creature hunter.
Generally speaking, even if one enters the dimensional realm to adventure or hunt dimensional creatures, one will join some large groups or federal agencies.
Only a few people choose to become freelance hunters, entering the dimensional realm alone or with a few friends to hunt dimensional creatures.
This woman only looks to be in her early twenties. According to the current education system, most people can go to college at the age of sixteen or seventeen. After four years of college, they will be in their early twenties. It is somewhat unexpected that a woman who just graduated would choose to become a free hunter.
There was another point that Zhou Wen and the others were very concerned about. Dongdu was very close to Luoyang and was now under the jurisdiction of Luoyang. This woman was actually from Dongdu and happened to be traveling the same way as them.
When Li Xuan was chatting with Zhang Yuzhi, he deliberately asked a lot of questions about Dongdu. Zhang Yuzhi answered fluently, as if he was really a local born in Dongdu. He even knew some of the small shops in the old alleys.
When they arrived at the place where Zhang Yuzhi said he encountered the dimensional creature, they did not see the white ape, but there were a lot of fallen rocks on the road ahead, blocking the way.
Li Xuan went down to clean the road and swept all the gravel directly to the bottom of the mountain road. However, after moving the gravel away, he found that there was a corpse under the gravel.
The corpse was a white ape, similar to the one Zhang Yuzhi described, and it must be the one she had seen.
"Did you kill it?" An Sheng asked Zhang Yuzhi after examining the white ape's body.
"No, I was almost killed by it. All my companion pets were killed by it. How could I have the ability to kill it?" Zhang Yuzhi shook his head with certainty.
"That's strange. You didn't kill it, so how could it die here?" Li Xuan said.
"I don't know about that. Maybe there are other people here." Zhang Yuzhi looked around, but this was a winding mountain road. There were hardly any people on the road. There was a cliff on one side of the road and a straight mountain wall on the other side. It was even more impossible to hide people.
Zhou Wen was also looking at the corpse and saw a bloody hole in the white ape's chest, as if its heart had been dug out. It had died in a very miserable way.
"Get in the car, let's keep going." An Sheng moved the white ape's body aside, got in the car and said to several people.
Zhou Wen was about to get in the car when he glanced at the side and found a boundary marker standing on the side of the road.
Boundary markers are not uncommon. In the past, they were used to divide the boundaries between regions. There were boundary markers between cities, between countries, and even between some towns and villages to divide each other's territories.
After the dimensional storm, basically no one uses boundary markers anymore, because most areas have dimensional domains and are difficult to divide.
However, you can still often see some boundary markers left over from the past on the road, but they are no longer of any use.
It was not uncommon to see boundary markers here, but what was strange was that Zhou Wen actually saw a small hand pattern on the boundary marker.
Zhou Wen was very familiar with the small hand pattern. Although the pattern was in the corner of the boundary marker and looked very inconspicuous, he still saw it at a glance.
The strange little hand pattern holds a skull, which looks even more weird and eerie.
The four words engraved on the boundary marker do not look like a place name at all. Those four words are "Yin Yang Boundary Marker".
