Chapter 255 Bell
An Sheng came to pick up Zhou Wen to go on the road together. There were more than a dozen people going with them, but except for Zhou Wen, they were basically all epic-level strongmen.
Although most of the people were older than Ansheng, they were all very respectful to Ansheng and did not dare to neglect her in the slightest.
However, most of those people did not look like soldiers. There were men and women, young and old. They looked very strange and no one knew where they came from.
They had no interest in Zhou Wen, and Zhou Wen didn't want to know who they were, so he just enjoyed the peace and quiet and played games in the car on the way.
Hulao Pass was guarded by the black-armored general, and Zhou Wen could not rush in for a while. However, he remembered what the Wu brothers and sisters said, that there seemed to be a secret passage leading to Hulao City. However, he searched for it many times in the game and could not find that secret passage.
"Is there no secret passage in the game? Or is there some mechanism in the secret passage?" Zhou Wen couldn't guess for a moment.
"Young man, is the game fun?" A man with gray hair but a middle-aged face sitting opposite Zhou Wen asked Zhou Wen.
They were riding in a large military truck with strong off-road capabilities, but it shook a bit violently, so it was not crowded with more than a dozen people sitting in the car.
"It's fun." Zhou Wen answered casually.
"It's rare to see young people who like playing games as much as you do nowadays. When I was your age, everyone played games, and there were all kinds of game competitions. After the Dimension Storm, not many people played games anymore. I really miss it." said the man.
"Have you experienced the dimensional storm?" Zhou Wen looked at the man in surprise. Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be that old.
Before the man could say anything, a middle-aged man next to him curled his lips and said, "You don't even know Jiu Ye's name. Young man, you still have a lot to learn. Take your time."
Jiu Ye smiled and said, "I was originally the ninth child in my family. People used to call me Lao Jiu, but as I got older and started to like drinking, I gradually became Jiu Ye, which became a nickname. How do you call me, young man?"
"My name is Zhou Wen." Zhou Wen replied. These people obviously didn't know his origins, they only knew that he was brought here by An Sheng.
"Zhou Wen." Jiuye repeated the name twice, seemingly trying to recall information related to it. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything, so he continued, "Are you going to the ancient battlefield in Zhuolu this time as well?"
"I'm still a student. How can I afford to go to that kind of place?" Zhou Wen said.
"Oh, then why are you going to Zhuolu?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Learn and broaden your horizons." Zhou Wen replied. He was not familiar with these people and was just responding casually.
"Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, especially in this day and age, it's a good idea for young people to go out and broaden their horizons." Jiu Ye said with a smile.
"I'm afraid that I won't learn anything and end up losing my life." A woman in her thirties who looked very indifferent suddenly spoke up.
"That's right. A place like Zhuolu is not a place you can visit casually. Even the federal exploration team was trapped there. It is a place where one is almost dead. Jiuye, how confident are you this time?" The middle-aged man had no interest in Zhou Wen. After saying a few words, he turned the conversation to Jiuye.
"It's hard to say. The situation of the ancient battlefield is unclear. We can't tell anything based on the little information we have now. We have to go to the place and take a look." Jiu Ye said lightly.
While several people were talking, the truck suddenly braked and stopped.
"What happened?" Jiu Ye said, looking towards the driver's seat.
"Something is blocking the way." An Sheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had already opened the car door and jumped out.
Jiuye and his group also came out from the trunk of the car, and saw that the road ahead was indeed blocked by something, but it was not something like a stone, but the vines of a plant growing onto the road, entwined around the trees on both sides of the road, blocking the highway.
Everyone noticed that the vine seemed a little strange, with purple vines, dark green leaves, and a few fruits on it.
But the fruit was a little strange. It did not look like an ordinary fruit. It looked like a bunch of copper bells hanging on a vine.
The bells were not round, but looked like small copper bells. When the wind blew, the copper bells swayed slightly on the vines and actually made a tinkling metallic sound.
But everyone could see clearly that the bell was growing on the vine, so how could it be made of metal?
"Adjutant An, let me lead the way?" A sturdy middle-aged man came out and said to An Sheng.
"Be careful." An Sheng nodded slightly.
The middle-aged man responded and directly summoned a dimensional creature that looked like an elephant. He let the elephant rush towards the vines. Flames burned on the elephant's body and it rushed towards the vines like a meteorite.
Given the size and speed of the fire elephant, it seemed like it should be easy to smash the vines, not to mention the terrifying flames on its body.
But when the fire elephant hit the vines, it was like it was stuck in a quagmire. Its body was entangled by the vines and it could not move at all.
It burst out with strength, trying to use flames to burn the vines wrapped around its body. The flames spread over the vines, and soon the entire vine was on fire.
But the vines were not burned. Instead, the body of the fire elephant shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had been sucked dry by a vampire.
Bang!
In just a short while, the body of the fire elephant was sucked into pieces and collapsed into ashes.
Everyone's face showed a solemn expression, and the sturdy man was also a little moved. Although the Flame Elephant was only a legendary companion pet, he used it to explore the way, but it was killed so easily by the vines. Those vines must be really not simple.
The flames on the vines gradually died down. The sturdy man was about to make another move when he saw the bells suddenly shaking violently.
The next second, a large amount of flames spurted out from several copper bells and rolled towards the group of people.
The cold-hearted woman summoned a white fox. The fox opened its mouth and sprayed out a ball of cold white mist towards the flames, instantly extinguishing the flames. The white mist continued to float towards the vines.
Soon the cold fog enveloped the vines, causing frost to form on them, as if they were frozen.
"The Snow Fox really lives up to its reputation." The sturdy man praised.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the frost on the vines melted quickly, and the copper bells shook a few more times, and actually sprayed out a large amount of white mist, which rolled towards everyone.
