Chapter 282 Young Commander
Seeing Zhou Wen holding the hilt of the knife, Lu Yunxian thought that Zhou Wen had discovered the enemy, so he quickly activated the Yuan Qi Jue and looked around vigilantly.
Zhao Xin and the other two outside also became a little nervous. Although Zhou Wen and Lu Yunxian wanted to go in themselves, their deaths had nothing to do with them.
But in such a strange place, no one wants to watch their own kind being beheaded in front of them.
Suddenly, Zhou Wen's figure suddenly disappeared, and he appeared in front of a broken stone pillar like a ghost. He held the knife in both hands and slashed at the stone pillar in front of him with all his strength. A halo of blood light shot out from the knife.
Snap!
Zhou Wen split the stone pillar into two pieces diagonally with a knife. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, but blood splattered out from the cut, which startled Lu Yunxian and the three people outside.
"Young Master Wen, is this the source of the strange spatial wind in the ruins?" Lu Yunxian walked up and asked while looking at the corpse of the wind-boundary insect in the stone pillar.
Zhou Wen nodded as he searched through the Wind Realm Bug's corpse. "Yes, there should be more than one. Don't stay too far away from me, or else something bad will happen."
Unfortunately, this wind-bound insect did not produce any crystals, nor did it produce any accompanying eggs.
Zhou Wen and Lu Yunxian continued to move forward, but Zhao Xin and the other two outside had strange expressions on their faces.
"Brother Zhao, Zhou Wen is really capable. Even Adjutant An couldn't find the location of the dimensional creatures in the ruins, but he was able to find it. It seems that he is really capable. Should we go in with him?" One of them looked at Zhao Xin and said.
"What are we going in for? Are we going to die? He might be able to find one, but who knows how many more are out there? If we make a mistake, we'll all die in there. Adjutant An told us to hold out here, so we should just wait for them to come back safely. Why risk our lives?" Zhao Xin said as he walked back. However, the knife attack by Zhou Wen just now kept popping up in his mind, and he couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "That kid is really a bit weird."
Zhou Wen didn't expect that the location of the wind-boundary insects in reality was basically the same as in the game. He killed them all the way and didn't give the wind-boundary insects any chance to use the boundary wind. He killed them directly in the stone cave.
Lu Yunxian followed Zhou Wen and watched as Zhou Wen walked and killed like a god who could predict the future. The bamboo sword was stained with blood every time it was drawn, and he killed the strange insects hidden in the stones one by one. The look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Wen became more and more strange.
He also observed carefully, but could not see anything unusual, let alone know where the wind-bound insects were hiding. However, Zhou Wen drew his sword firmly without any hesitation, killing each wind-bound insect hidden in the stone.
The ruins, which were originally shrouded in great terror, seemed to become less frightening because of the young man in front of him. In Lu Yunxian's eyes, Zhou Wen seemed to be emitting light and heat, illuminating this terrifying place.
"This feeling... is so familiar... I've had it before..." Lu Yunxian not only recalled the past when he followed An Tianzuo into a dimensional realm.
At that time, An Tianzuo should be older than Zhou Wen is now, almost twenty years old. At that time, An Tianzuo had been the helmsman of the An family for several years and was a well-known young governor in Luoyang.
However, An Tianzuo at that time was not as convincing as he is now. Even many people within the An family were secretly disobeying the young commander.
A new dimensional area appeared in the southern area of Luoyang, and a large number of people were affected. An Tianzuo wanted to dispatch people to suppress the dimensional area in the southern area, but due to obstruction from within his family, he only mobilized a small part of the army.
An Tianzuo had to lead the army into the dimensional realm himself. At that time, Lu Yunxian was not yet the battalion commander, but just a small squad leader. A total of four squads followed An Tianzuo into the dangerous dimensional realm and encountered many strange dimensional creatures.
As a result, the reinforcements that were supposed to arrive on time did not arrive.
At that time, many soldiers had already given up hope and thought they would definitely die in battle. Even Lu Yunxian thought so.
But it was that young man, holding a revolver in one hand and a big sword in the other, who led them to fight across the dimensional realm, cut a bloody path through the tide of beasts from the other dimension, and rushed out with them.
At that time, An Tianzuo was just like the young man in front of him, radiating light and heat like the sun.
After that battle, many of the soldiers and low-ranking officers who survived like Lu Yunxian have now become the backbone of the Sunset Army and are loyal followers of An Tianzuo.
The first thing An Tianzuo did after returning to Luoyang was to rush into the home of An Huaishan, the elder of the An family who had disobeyed military orders, and personally beheaded all the men in the An family who were over sixteen years old.
That night, the An family was flooded with blood. The man who was once as bright as the sun now had his entire military uniform stained in blood. He looked like a devil and no one dared to approach him. Only a handsome young man followed him, carrying a cloth bag on his back, and followed An Tianzuo all the way to the Martyrs' Cemetery.
As they walked, the blood in the cloth bag dripped all the way. When they arrived at the tomb of the warriors who died in the dimensional realm, the handsome young man opened the cloth bag, and bloody heads rolled out, shocking everyone who followed them.
The heads of all the men in An Huaishan's family, from An Huaishan to his sixteen-year-old grandson, who had military service, were all here, hung in front of the grave as a tribute to the dead soldiers.
Since then, An Tianzuo has gradually taken over the power of the An family, and the Sunset Army has gradually been branded with An Tianzuo's mark.
"It's been many years... I haven't seen anyone like that again..." Lu Yunxian looked at Zhou Wen who was walking in front of him with complicated eyes.
Perhaps because of their growing environment, this boy and An Tianzuo have completely different personalities. However, when they want to do something, they are surprisingly similar, as if whatever they want to do, they can definitely accomplish it. They both seem to emit a dazzling glow that makes people involuntarily attracted by it.
Snap!
Zhou Wen cut the stone pillar with a knife, and the body of a wind-bound insect was cut open. Inside the body, a diamond-shaped crystal rolled out.
When Zhou Wen saw the crystal, he was immediately delighted. The crystal was transparent and flawless, and there seemed to be wind flowing inside. It was obviously different from ordinary crystals.
"Could this be the wind attribute crystal?" Zhou Wen quickly picked up the crystal and secretly took a picture of it with his mobile phone.
"Wind Crystal: 11."
The information displayed on the phone made Zhou Wen overjoyed, and at the same time he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If there are only seventeen wind-bound insects in reality, then he has already killed thirteen of them. If he can't get any wind-attribute crystals, he will probably have to give up the wind-bound insect crystals in the game.
Without any hesitation, he directly refined and absorbed the wind crystal. He felt a faint wind pouring into his body, and another wind attribute was added to his attributes, with a value of exactly 11.
Having met the requirements for absorbing the Wind Realm Insect Crystals, Zhou Wen directly chose to absorb the Wind Realm Insect Crystals in the game. The crystals immediately turned into strands of transparent wind and penetrated into the body of the bloody little man, forming a new path and circulation of vitality in the bloody little man's body.
