Chapter 565 Folklore Expert
"I'll figure out the sacrifice myself. Captain Lu, please take me in to take a look." Zhou Wen said to Lu Yunxian.
Before Lu Yunxian could say anything, Lei Zhiguo had already shaken his head and said, "I'm in charge here. I must guarantee the safety of all of you. If you want to go, wait two more days. Otherwise, I won't let you in no matter what."
Lei Zhiguo was too stubborn. Neither Zhou Wen nor Lu Yunxian could convince him. Besides, he was the one who had the final say here, so Zhou Wen couldn't force his way in.
"Okay, then let's wait for two more days." Zhou Wen thought that although he had killed the young Candle Dragon several times on the road, it would not be a bad thing to kill it twice more to get familiar with it, so he agreed to wait for two days and then follow them into the temple.
Zhou Wen recently tried to farm the Candle Dragon's Young Son, Medusa, and the Golden War God's Halberd several times, but the drop rate was not as high as Ansheng said. Most of the drops were attribute crystals, and occasionally a vitality skill crystal would drop. Due to attribute restrictions, Zhou Wen could not learn it and could not take it out, so he could only reluctantly farm it out.
So far, the only companion egg he has dropped is a Golden War God Halberd.
"Master Wen, the conditions here are not very good. You can go to my tent to rest first." Lu Yunxian took Zhou Wen to his tent.
Lu Yunxian didn't live alone either. Because of the limited space, three people usually lived in one tent. There were originally two people in Lu Yunxian's tent, so it was just right for Zhou Wen to live there too.
The two chatted for a while about what happened to each of them after they separated. Lu Yun talked more first, and Zhou Wen just listened silently most of the time.
Lu Yunxian has been stationed at the ruins, responsible for clearing out some dimensional creatures and protecting the safety of these experts.
All of his comrades who had followed him before were transferred, and most of them were promoted and assigned to other places.
As the two were chatting, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked in. Lu Yunxian introduced him, "Master Wen, this is Professor Lei's student Qu Qingyun, an expert in folklore. He has provided many valuable suggestions during the research on Zhulong and Qiongqi."
Lu Yun first introduced Zhou Wen to Qu Qingyun. Qu Qingyun just said a few polite words and then went to bed on his own. It was obvious that he had no interest in chatting with Zhou Wen and the others.
Zhou Wen and Lu Yunxian didn't want to disturb him, so they went for a walk outside the tent and rested after coming back.
The next day, when Zhou Wen and his companions got up, they heard a commotion outside. They went out to see that the logistics troops had delivered supplies and everyone was busy moving things.
Qu Qingyun also walked out of the tent. Seeing a figure from the supply team, his eyes suddenly lit up and he greeted them with a smile: "Head Nurse Xu, why did you come here alone? It's so dangerous here."
"Here is a batch of newly made medicines, and someone needs to inject them into the soldiers. I was afraid they wouldn't get the dosage right, so I came here myself." Xu Wen said a few words to Qu Qingyun, and then his eyes fell on Lu Yunxian, and he immediately saw Zhou Wen standing next to Lu Yunxian, and he immediately showed joy.
"Young Master Wen, when did you come to Zhuolu? Why didn't I see you at the base?" Xu Wen walked quickly towards Zhou Wen and asked in surprise.
"I didn't go to the base, but came directly to the ruins. I originally just wanted to take a look and leave, but I was delayed by some things and have to stay for two more days." Zhou Wen said.
"Master Wen, this is your fault. Now that you are in Zhuolu, why don't you come to see us?" Like Lu Yunxian, Xu Wen had been through life and death with Zhou Wen, and the feelings she had for him were not comparable to those of ordinary comrades.
Seeing Xu Wen and Zhou Wen being so friendly but leaving him aside, Qu Qingyun couldn't help but frown slightly, but didn't say anything.
"Xu Wen, go and give the soldiers the injection first. Young Master Wen will be here for two more days. It won't be too late to reminisce about the past later." Lu Yunxian said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll go to work first. Master Wen, we'll talk later." Xu Wen went back to do her thing.
"You go and do your work first." Zhou Wen's mood also improved a lot. Being able to meet a sincere friend in such a dark place makes him feel more comfortable than getting a treasure.
Two days passed quickly, and Zhou Wen killed the young Candle Dragon twice more during this period. Although each time was very thrilling, Zhou Wen was confident that he could kill the young Candle Dragon safely.
Professor Lei and his team were ready. They brought Zhou Wen with them and entered the temple. Even Xu Wen followed Lu Yunxian in.
"There is murderous intent at every step in the temple, and the danger is unimaginable. You must remember not to act on your own and must abide by the arrangements, otherwise you will hurt others and yourself." Lei Zhiguo was a little worried about Zhou Wen and reminded him again and again.
"I understand." Zhou Wen agreed seriously.
Lei Zhiguo felt relieved. He was afraid that Zhou Wen was the kind of young master who would do anything when he got angry. He had no idea that Zhou Wen's understanding of the temple was far greater than his.
Under the guidance of Lei Zhiguo and other experts and professors, Zhou Wen and his team finally headed towards the passage where the Ao Yin statue was located.
"Head Nurse Xu, the Aoyin stone statue is extremely evil and can hurt people if it moves. Just stay with me. If there is any danger, I can protect you." Qu Qingyun said as he walked beside Xu Wen.
Anyone can see that Qu Qingyun is interested in Xu Wen.
Xu Wen shook her head slightly and said, "Mr. Qu, you're joking. I'm a soldier, and protecting you is my duty."
Qu Qingyun smiled and said, "Outside, of course you protect me, but in a place like this, many problems cannot be solved by force, so I should be the one to guarantee you."
After a pause, Qu Qingyun continued, "Just like this Ao Yin stone statue, even if the governor himself came, I'm afraid there is not much he can do to it. He must offer a blood sacrifice to allow safe passage..."
Qu Qingyun just wanted to show off, but he didn't know that Xu Wen was not the kind of woman who lacked security.
On the contrary, she was a qualified soldier. Qu Qingyun's words were actually questioning her ability and ethics as a soldier, which naturally made Xu Wen unhappy, but Xu Wen didn't say anything.
Lu Yunxian, who was walking at the back, whispered to Zhou Wen, "Qu Qingyun was born into a wealthy local family. His family background is comparable to the An family, and he's quite talented and famous. Unfortunately, he's a bit too conceited. He's not Xu Wen's type. I'm afraid his efforts will be in vain."
Zhou Wen nodded slightly. Even someone with low emotional intelligence like Zhou Wen could see that Xu Wen really didn't have a good impression of him.
When everyone arrived in front of the stone statue of Ao Yin, Lei Zhiguo asked Qu Qingyun to take a living creature as a sacrifice to the stone statue of Ao Yin. Zhou Wen was naturally familiar with this method, as he was the one who told An Sheng about it.
"Okay, everyone please come this way." After Qu Qingyun paid homage to the stone statue of Ao Yin, he walked towards the direction leading to the Qiongqi Temple.
