Chapter 266 Heading to the Ruins
"If it weren't for my identity, why do you think An Sheng let you take care of me like this?" Seeing Xu Wen still hesitant, Zhou Wen said again, "Ouyang Lan and I have a very good relationship, just like real mother and son. I care about her no less than the An brothers and sisters. Can you tell me what happened?"
Xu Wen hesitated for a moment, and felt that this was not a secret, so she told Zhou Wen what had happened.
After listening to this, Zhou Wen turned around and walked out of the camp.
Although Lu Yunxian is also an epic-level strongman, he does not have many capable people under his command. The low-level officers he brought with him are basically only legendary-level. With their abilities, it is too difficult to deal with the dimensional creatures in the ancient battlefield.
Their life and death had nothing to do with Zhou Wen, but if he couldn't get the stone tool back, Ouyang Lan might die, and it was even possible that the old principal was in that underground stone passage, so Zhou Wen had to get the stone tool back no matter what.
"Hey, where are you going?" Xu Wen saw Zhou Wen walking out of the camp and hurriedly chased after him and said.
"I'll go help Captain Lu and the others get the stone tools back." Zhou Wen said.
"Stop it. You're just a student, why are you messing around?" Xu Wen hurriedly stopped Zhou Wen. Lu Yunxian asked her to keep an eye on Zhou Wen. She couldn't let Zhou Wen do anything wrong.
"Head Nurse Xu, you are the highest-ranking officer in the medical team and the best doctor. Why didn't you participate in this operation?" Zhou Wen asked Xu Wen.
Xu Wen snorted coldly and said, "It's all because of you. If I hadn't stayed to take care of you, I would definitely have gone. So just stay here and stop making trouble."
"Then you really won't go? The ancient battlefield is full of dangers. As the best doctor here, you stayed behind and watched your comrades sacrifice without doing anything. Comrades who could have survived died because you were not there. Can you really feel at ease?" Zhou Wen stared at Xu Wen and said word by word.
Xu Wen's expression changed slightly, but she still said, "No matter what you say, it's useless. You must stay in the barracks and not go anywhere. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to Captain Lu, Adjutant An, and Madam Lan."
"Captain Lu asked you to protect me, right?" Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said again.
"That's right." Xu Wen nodded.
"He didn't say I can't leave the barracks, right?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"This..." Xu Wen hesitated.
"Since he didn't say that I'm not allowed to go out, and he wants you to protect me, that means you have to go wherever I go, right?" Zhou Wen said again.
Xu Wen was slightly startled and her expression became strange.
"So, do you want to go or not?" Zhou Wen stared at Xu Wen with burning eyes.
"No, I can't let you take risks..." Xu Wen struggled in her heart.
"Let's go to the blood river and take a look without crossing it. Waiting here is too painful. You also want to wait at the nearest place, right?" Zhou Wen said to Xu Wen sincerely.
"This..." Xu Wen was still very hesitant.
"Anyway, I have to go and take a look. It's up to you whether you want to go or not." Zhou Wen said as he walked around Xu Wen and headed towards the camp gate.
Xu Wen gritted her teeth, stopped trying to stop Zhou Wen, and chased him out of the barracks.
Xu Wen felt that Zhou Wen was such a spoiled guy, who stayed in the military camp all day playing games and taking supplements. He definitely didn't have the courage to enter the ancient battlefield.
The main reason was that she was also impatient. If she continued to wait in the military camp, she would feel uneasy. In fact, she wanted to go more than Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen's words just now had already shaken her mind.
"How long are you going to walk? Come up." Xu Wen summoned a white lion. The lion was extremely majestic and taller than a horse.
Zhou Wen originally wanted to summon a mount, but his mount was not very fast, not even as fast as he ran, so it was useless.
Seeing that Xu Wen's white lion was running very fast, Zhou Wen turned over and jumped on it, sitting behind Xu Wen.
Xu Wen ordered the White Lion to run at full speed and chase in the direction where Captain Lu and his men left.
"Don't run too fast." Zhou Wen suddenly said to Xu Wen.
Xu Wen was slightly stunned, and then she understood what Zhou Wen meant. If they ran too fast and caught up with Captain Lu and his men, they would definitely be driven back.
Xu Wen snorted and slowed down a little when she could see the army in the distance.
Xu Wen was driving the white lion in the front, Zhou Wen was sitting in the back still playing games, and the ghost bride also found the tunnel and stone steps in the ruins.
But there seemed to be some kind of terrible power in it, which made the ghost bride hesitate.
Zhou Wen knew that the ghost bride must have noticed something, but unfortunately she couldn't express it. Zhou Wen only vaguely felt from her consciousness that she seemed to be afraid of something and didn't dare to enter the passage.
Since the ghost bride didn't dare to go in, Zhou Wen could only find a way to go in by himself. Ouyang Lan and the old principal might be trapped inside. Even if he didn't go in in the future, Ansheng would definitely go in. If he could know in advance what dangers were inside, he could warn Ansheng in advance, so that they would have fewer sacrifices and have a greater chance of rescuing Ouyang Lan and the old principal.
"What exactly is the power in the ruins that can break people's heads?" Zhou Wen has restarted the game several times and thought of many ways, but he still hasn't been able to figure out what kind of power it is.
Even the Dark Doctor's clairvoyant light couldn't reveal any problems in the ruins.
Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment, and let the Dark Doctor transform into a companion state. The Dark Doctor's body turned into spiritual light, and attached to the bloody man like a phantom.
Zhou Wen was slightly startled to find that the bloody man's skill bar now had three more skills: scalpel, fighting poison with poison, and light of perspective.
The Dark Doctor's soul state actually attached his power to the master, allowing the master to use his abilities.
Zhou Wen was delighted and controlled the bloody man to go to the ruins again. Soon he encountered a monster.
Zhou Wen knew how the Dark Doctor killed the monster, so he activated the light of perspective, and beams of light shot out from his eyes and shone on the monster's body.
Under the effect of the perspective light, the body of the ghost seemed to become transparent, and the various meridians and organs inside were clearly visible. Zhou Wen immediately saw a small black bead flowing rapidly in the ghost's body. The bead was only the size of a grain of rice and was very inconspicuous. It flowed very fast, jumping around like a heartbeat, and there was no pattern, making it difficult to capture its movement trajectory.
Zhou Wen suddenly understood and knew how to kill the monster.
With the Ghost Step activated, Zhou Wen instantly came behind the ghost. The scalpel skill was activated, and a white light condensed into a scalpel, which instantly pierced into the ghost's body and hit the beating bead.
Bang!
As soon as the bead broke, the body of the monster instantly turned into a pool of black water and scattered on the ground. A prompt popped up in the game to kill the epic creature monster.
"As long as I can clearly understand the abilities and weaknesses of epic creatures, it is not impossible to kill them with my current abilities." Zhou Wen increasingly felt the importance of knowing both oneself and the enemy.
