Muse was injured all over and came straight to Zi Chen, feeling very guilty. Recommended for reading the first novel, go to Yankuai Reading
Zi Chen motioned to Muse to deal with the wound first and talk about other things later.
"They didn't intend to kill me. These are just minor injuries. It doesn't matter."
Muse did not treat the wound, but slowly told what happened.
It is said that the last time Shuntian Dao went to the Black Rock Mountains, he saw other humans. The two sides met but did not fight. Instead, the other party tried to recruit Shuntian Dao.
Zi Chen guessed that there should be a lot of humans gathered there, so he asked Muse to take people there. His original intention was to bring all the people back to form a stronger force.
When leaving, Zi Chen gave the three-meter storage bag to Miusi. His original intention was to put the things that could not be contained in it, and to give him the same spiritual crystal according to the transaction price when he came back.
Muse went there with eighteen people, but unexpectedly only one came back, and all his belongings were robbed.
As for Muse, they deliberately released them for ransom. There were eighteen people in total, and each of them had two armor-piercing weapons. If they didn't give them, they would kill all the eighteen people.
"Are they many in number? Nineteen of them were captured."
Zi Chen frowned. You must know that these nineteen people have been in the battlefield for a long time, and their combat power is not weak. The opponent was able to capture them all, which shows how powerful they are.
"Following your Lord's instructions, we didn't kill each other after we had a disagreement, but who would have expected that two eighth-level realm warriors would rush out of the way and launch a shameless sneak attack, knocking out several people at once, and finally capture us. "Muse looked aggrieved.
He had a powerful armor-piercing weapon, and even if he faced Yae, he was not afraid at all. When the battle started, they had no killing intention at all, but Yae still chose to attack in a sneak attack, and the entire army was wiped out.
"Can the other party report his family status?"
"Yes, the leader's name is Feite."
The movement here attracted the attention of others. After everyone saw Muse's appearance, they were all furious and expressed their intention to destroy the group of people.
Let alone two of them who are at the eighth level, even if there are three or five, no one is afraid.
"Fit, do you know this person?" Zi Chen asked as he looked at Wharton walking towards him.
In the outside world, realm does not necessarily represent combat power, but in this extreme battlefield, only by understanding some rules can one break through the realm. Since the opponent can break through to the eighth level, he is obviously not an ordinary person.
However, after hearing this, Wharton fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly shook his head and expressed that he did not know that this person existed.
Suddenly, Wharton's expression changed and he said, "Fite, could it be him?"
"you know."
Wharton shook his head and said, "I don't know him, but I've heard of him, but that Feite has already entered the eighth level. Logically speaking, it's impossible for him to appear here."
When Zi Chen heard this, he sneered and said, "It seems like that."
In the past two years, the eighth level came to the seventh level area only once. The purpose of the other party's coming was Zi Chen, to be precise, it was for the Star Fantasy Dragon Thorn.
"Are there any alchemists among them?" Zi Chen asked.
"There is one, a very young guy, but he is forcibly controlled and has no freedom except for refining medicine."
"How many of them are there in total?"
"More than fifty."
When Zi Chen asked for details, Manshi and others came forward. Manshi said directly: "Where are they? Damn them. A group of us went over and killed them directly."
"Yes, those who dare to touch our people are simply seeking death." Wu Xie also said coldly.
Looking at the excited crowd, Zi Chen smiled and said: "This matter is not a big deal, I just want to go there myself. Your top priority is to break through the situation as soon as possible."
Now that Zi Chen is the backbone of everyone, it is naturally impossible for anything to happen, so everyone spoke up and expressed their willingness to go together.
"It's just two eighth-level ones, nothing to be afraid of. Let's do this. Shuntian Dao and Wharton will follow me, and the others will continue to refine the rule chips."
The fighting power of the two men was recognized as strong, and no one had any objections.
After briefly treating the wounds, Muse led the three of them towards the Blackstone Mountains.
…
…
On the outskirts of the Blackstone Mountains, there are two late seventh-level people stationed here. They are idle and bored, chatting endlessly.
"Hey, let me tell you, this armor-breaking weapon is indeed extraordinary. Since I got it, I have killed five late-stage alien beasts in the past few days."
"The special effect is as high as 30%. Of course it is a good thing. I really don't know how the foundry named Zi Chen managed to achieve such a high trigger rate."
"It doesn't matter how he condenses or what he does, as long as we have a steady stream of armor-piercing weapons to use in the future."
"What do you mean, don't you only ask for more than thirty weapons? We only have one, so we are not rich at all."
"Humph, this is just a ransom. When the ransom arrives and someone has an armor-breaking weapon, it will be time for us to launch a large-scale attack. I think when the time comes, the forger named Zi Chen will also obediently serve us."
The monk had a look of surprise on his face. It seemed that the alchemist in the team got it this way.
While the two were talking, they suddenly felt a breath appearing, and then four people appeared in their sight.
"It's the guy who went to get the ransom. He got here very quickly." A slim seventh-level late-stage man sneered.
"He even brought helpers. It seems he is not willing to give in."
"It's just four people, not enough... No, that's Wharton."
Seeing Wharton among the four, their expressions immediately changed.
Wharton has a great reputation in the seventh level city, and is known to almost everyone at the same level.
However, considering that there were two eighth level realms behind them, the two of them became much calmer.
As the four of them approached, the thin man said: "Wharton, I didn't expect you to control a team."
Wharton glanced at the two of them and said indifferently: "Where are our people."
"Have you brought the ransom, otherwise you will only see corpses." The thin man said coldly.
Zi Chen picked up the storage bag in his hand and said, "There are a total of forty armor-breaking weapons, four more than planned."
The two of them nodded with satisfaction, and the thin man said coldly: "You guys are sensible, come with me."
The four of them followed the two of them deep into the forest, and after a while, they arrived at the gathering place.
They all seemed to be waiting for armor-piercing weapons. These people did not go out. There were more than fifty people, exuding a strong aura. After seeing the arrival of the four people, the eyes of each one also flashed with greed.
However, after this light fell on Wharton, it immediately became much restrained.
Wharton is recognized as the strongest person in the late seventh level, and is most likely to be ranked 100th on Xuhou's peerless military list.
Seeing Wharton, everyone was a little restrained, but not afraid.
Wharton at the late seventh level was indeed powerful, but compared to the eighth level, he was far behind.
Soon, Zi Chen saw eighteen people from his side. They had all had their strength sealed and were hung on trees with vines. Many of them still had wounds from being whipped. As for their equipment, they had already been stripped bare. .
Eighteen people looked listless, and some were even dying.
Seeing the state of these people, Zi Chen already had murderous intent in his heart.
"Let them down immediately." Zi Chen said coldly.
The two people who were walking turned back and looked at Zi Chen dissatisfied. The thin man said: "Who do you think you are? You dare to order us."
Zi Chen glanced at the weapons on the two of them and said, "The armor-breaking weapons in your hands were refined by me."
It turned out to be a foundry named Zi Chen, and both of them had a look of surprise in their eyes.
Zi Chen said indifferently: "Let them down and forget about the past. If not, you two will die."
After being threatened by a seventh-level mid-level man, the two men's eyes immediately became cold and stern. One of them shouted at Zi Chen: "If you dare to threaten us, you will seek death."
When the eighteen people heard the noise, they opened their eyes and saw Zi Chen. Hope was rekindled in those lifeless and desperate eyes.
These people show off their power by relying on the fact that there are two eighth-level beings in the team, but the eighteen people know very well that Zi Chen was able to kill the eighth-level alien race on his own more than half a year ago.
At the same level, humans may not have any advantage over the Dax alien race.
That was more than half a year ago. In the past six months, Zi Chen's combat power has increased, almost to an unfathomable level. These people are simply seeking death if they want to take advantage of Zi Chen.
This is why they would rather be hung up and beaten than surrender.
The sword light in Shuntian Dao's hand flashed, and the vines on the bodies of the eighteen people were cut off. A substantial energy carried the fallen people down slowly.
Cold light shot out, and other people around him instantly surrounded everyone, with evil gleams in their eyes. Ironically, among these weapons, there were many armor-breaking weapons refined by Zi Chen.
The group of people was surrounded, but everyone looked at Wharton warily. For them, Wharton was a greater threat.
"Want to die." Wharton shouted in a deep voice, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Wharton, this is not a place for you to act wild." The thin man from before said again.
"Death." Wharton seemed to have murderous intent, but the next moment his arm was grabbed by Zi Chen.
Zi Chen smiled and glanced at everyone. These people were considered to be a strong fighting force. It would be a waste to die like this.
After looking around, he said coldly: "Now that you are here, come out. There is no point in hiding your head and showing your tail."
"You are Zi Chen, the foundry master." A voice came from behind the crowd, and a man with a cold face and black armor appeared, one of the two eight-layers.
His eyes passed over this person, a flash of disdain flashed at the corner of Zi Chen's mouth, and he said: "There is another one. Could it be that he is really a cowardly person who only dares to attack secretly."
"What a sarcastic boy." Another voice sounded, and the second eighth-level monk appeared from the opposite direction, it was Feite.
Zi Chen looked at the two of them and said disdainfully: "You are indeed the same species. I wasn't sure at first, but looking at the way you hide your heads and show your tail, I guess you are here for me."
The expressions of the two changed slightly and they exchanged glances. Of course they were not sure whether the two Zi Chens were the same person before, but now they are sure.
Murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and Feite said: "Since you have guessed that we are here for you, you still dare to show up. You are quite confident."
