Ridicule?
Chen Guang was momentarily dazed. Was this as simple as ridicule?
You sent more than a hundred people to their deaths, and in your eyes, it was ridicule?
Chen Guang turned around to study the pile of bodies that were tossed out like garbage.
Seeing that he was still bothered by this, Feng Bumian laughed. "I did not expect Brother Chen to have such a kind heart."
Chen Guang pointed at one of the bodies and said, "Brother Feng, this young man's face …"
He did not finish his sentence, but the young man's appearance was fifty to sixty percent similar to Feng Bumian's.
Feng Bumian waved his hand nonchalantly. "This is my thirty-seventh son. He has been training in the labor camp. I did not expect him to become anything special, but it is a pity that he died here."
Chen Guang was shocked. When Feng Bumian said this, his tone was extremely calm, and it did not seem like he was faking it.
He really did not care. The one who died was his son, but in his eyes, it was as if Chen Guang had seen a dead grasshopper on the street.
Yes, that's right, it couldn't even compare to sparrows or other small animals. It couldn't even cause any waves.
Was this … the normal state of the people in this world?
Chen Guang thought about it carefully, and it did seem to be the case.
Four years ago, when he was in Zhen Wu Saint Emperor City, other than Old Bao, no one else seemed to care about their family.
The reason why Old Bao was different was probably because he had lost seventeen daughters in one day.
The people of Zhen Wu Land were the same as the people of the Sea of Time. Their souls were probably incomplete, and they lacked something compared to the people of Earth.
"Alright, since we are here, should we go down now, or should we discuss this further?"
Chen Guang gathered his thoughts and waved his hand.
The old woman walked at the very front and jumped into the deep hole. "That's right. For this matter, we've already spent more or less half a year. It's time to settle things and see what this Senior Martial Lord has left for us."
Although she had a hunched back, her movements when she jumped down were very nimble.
Feng Bumian and the elder followed closely behind. Chen Guang followed closely behind.
The four of them walked to the front of the stone door. Chen Guang didn't say anything and waited for the other three to make their move.
Feng Bumian turned back to look at Chen Guang. "Brother Chen, later, the four of us will attack the stone door together. Don't worry, just give it your all."
The old woman with the walking stick also said, "Previously, the three of us worked together and expended a lot of effort to blast open the stone door. Now that Brother Chen is with us, it should be much easier. There is something strange about this stone door. With the strength of us martial artists, we are unable to break it. We can only break it open for a short period of time, and then it will quickly close. "
"Then how do we get out?"
Chen Guang was concerned about this problem. He did not want to be trapped inside.
"There is a mechanism inside that can be opened from the inside to the outside. Coming out should be easy."
The child-faced old man explained.
Chen Guang nodded. "Alright."
Seeing that Chen Guang had no other opinions, Feng Bumian turned back to look at the stone door. His expression gradually turned serious. "Then, shall we start now? Everyone, remember not to hold back. We must give it our all. If we can't blast it open, we will suffer the backlash. "
Chen Guang agreed quickly, but in his heart, he did not agree. I really don't dare to use my full strength. I don't want to scare you guys.
However, his advantage was his physical body. In terms of internal energy, even though he was only two to three years away from becoming a martial artist, he might not be as good as the other three who had been in the martial world for many years.
Actually, these people were quite pitiful. They had been stuck in the martial world for so many years and still could not improve.
Everyone in the True Martial Land wanted to become stronger. However, every martial artist with potential wanted to become stronger. Who wouldn't want to become stronger? Who wouldn't want to climb higher and higher in order to experience the denser Yin Yang Qi in the higher realms?
For example, if a martial artist forced himself to the limit of his body's endurance, even if he was just a slave in the fifth layer of the Martial Lord's territory, as long as he did not die, the speed of his cultivation would be much faster than staying in the first layer.
Unfortunately, everyone's talent and bone structure were different. Naturally, the upper limit was also different.
The cruel pyramid was not only reflected in the density of Yin Yang Qi. In the case of every native of Zhenwu, the inherent difference in talent and bone structure determined everyone's upper limit.
For people like Chen Guang, after he obtained internal energy, he could ride on the clouds and rise to the top. However, people like Feng Bumian and the Ten Directions Martial Emperors could only be stuck in the martial world, unable to improve.
Martial artists who were willing to stay in the first level to become city masters or feudal lords and act as experts among the dwarves might have either lost their sharpness in their bones, or they had gone to a higher level and been oppressed by others to the point of living in a constant state of panic, only to return in a pitiful state.
The truly talented martial artists had already left this place to go to a higher layer.
Feng Bumian and the rest had their eyes on this Martial Lord's abode. They were probably hoping to find some kind of treasure that could improve their bone structure so that they could break through the martial world and become a martial artist in their lifetime.
"Three! Two! One! "
After a short period of gathering energy, the four of them did not take out their weapons. Instead, they pushed their palms forward. Four waves of energy rushed out of their palms and hit the stone door.
Of the four waves of energy, the old man's was the thickest, followed by Feng Bumian's, the old woman's, and Chen Guang's looked the weakest.
A loud sound came from the stone door. It was like a morning bell or evening drum. Then, it rumbled, and a small gap appeared.
"The door is open! Everyone, quick! "
Feng Bumian was the first to rush in. His movement was very fast.
Chen Guang, who was the last, had just entered when the stone door slammed shut with a bang. The loud vibration caused the four to stumble.
As far as the eye could see, this place was not some magnificent paradise. As far as the eye could see, it was just a deep stone room. The stone walls of the cave were inlaid with luminous stones that were either natural or man-made, illuminating the stone room in a hazy manner.
There seemed to be the sound of water coming from afar, and there was a light breeze blowing on their faces. This meant that this seemingly enclosed abode had a way to communicate with the outside world.
"This abode should have been built under the sand continent. I wonder what kind of scary enemy the senior has offended. Even in our first layer, he has to be so careful."
Feng Bumian explained as he walked deeper into the cave.
The four groped their way forward for about fifty meters before Feng Bumian stopped. He pointed at the rippling surface of the water and said, "The thing that stopped the three of us here is this small underground lake."
Chen Guang pretended to be naive. "Can't we just swim over there?"
"No, that's what I did in the beginning, but I almost lost my life. There are traps hidden under this small lake. If we go into the water, they will come at us from the water. They are silent but powerful. That senior Martial Lord might not be the most powerful, but his skill in the art of traps is quite scary. If we fly through the air, there will be sharp blades and other traps. The three of us didn't know the depth of the lake, and we suffered a great loss here. "
Feng Bumian said with lingering fear.
Chen Guang was confused. "Then, it doesn't seem like I'll be of much help, does it?"
"No, since that senior Martial Lord left this lake behind, he has to go through it himself, right? Therefore, he left behind some traps, and he seems to have prepared some tests for those who come after us. It's over there. Once the mechanism is activated, a tin woodman will jump out. It's invulnerable to weapons, water, and fire. With our strength, we can only barely defend ourselves against the tin woodman's attacks. However, we won't be able to destroy it. This time, with Brother Chen around, we'll have a chance of winning. In my opinion, if we can destroy this tin man, we might be able to find a way. "
Chen Guang nodded. "I see."
The four did not waste any more time. Feng Bumian stepped forward to activate the trap, and then he retreated like lightning. He yelled, "Everyone, be careful. It's coming out!"
Before he finished speaking, a tall black shadow appeared behind him.
Feng Bumian heard the cold wind behind him and quickly leaped forward.
The next moment, a loud boom came from where he was standing. A muscular figure about ten feet tall stood where he was. His right foot stepped on the ground, and thick smoke billowed out from where his right foot touched the ground.
"Let's go!"
The white-haired, child-faced old man took out the iron whip from his waist and took the lead to pounce forward.
The old woman with the cane also waved the iron staff in her hand and leaped forward.
Feng Bumian pulled out his sword with a clang. Using the Starry Steps, he walked in circles on the ground to approach the tin man.
Chen Guang originally planned to observe for a while longer before deciding what to do next, but the three were already in front of him. He did not want to take advantage of the situation, so he also took out his' handy weapon 'from his back and ran forward.
As he ran, he shook off the white cloth that was wrapped around his' handy weapon ', revealing the true appearance of the weapon. This caused Feng Bumian and the other two to almost trip.
He really could not think of a suitable weapon for himself. Even though he had learned many martial arts, and there were weapons among them, he felt that they did not match his aura.
Therefore, he came up with a random idea.
First, this thing had to be heavy and heavy enough, or else he would not be able to fully utilize the advantage of his perfect physical body.
Secondly, it had to not be easily damaged. This world was full of experts, and even though the art of forging was quite advanced, unless he found a legendary blacksmith, it would be difficult to forge a weapon that could accompany him all the way to Martial Monarch.
Lastly, it had to be powerful, and when it hit someone, it had to be powerful.
Therefore, I chose the mace.
There was no need to explain how useful it was. It was simple and brutal, and it had full damage.
"Brother Chen, I really did not expect someone as handsome and elegant as you to be using such a powerful weapon."
Feng Bumian could not help but tease as he hacked at the tin man's body.
With a chuckle, Chen Guang dodged the tin humanoid's slap and smashed his club against the latter's wrist. "It can't be considered heroic, but it's fine as long as it's useful."
The old woman with the cane also teased, "When I saw you carrying it on your back, I thought it was a broadsword or a mace. You gave me quite a fright."
"Brother Chen's weapon has a small handle and a large head, and it has sharp spikes on it. When you swing it, it's very powerful."
The white-haired elder said as he lashed the mace on the tin man's body, causing sparks to fly.
At the moment, even though the tin man was running around, due to its lack of agility, all his attacks missed.
However, even though the attacks from the four looked scary, they were not effective. Even the spikes on Chen Guang's mace had been broken, but the tin man still looked very lively.
"Brother Feng, it seems like one more person won't make any difference!"
Chen Guang could not help but say.
