If Zhou Wen didn't have his phone and game dungeons, he wouldn't have ventured deep into the ancient city. It would be a joke with his life, and there was no need for it.
But now, things were different. He could venture deep into the game dungeons and figure out the situation in Ancient Imperial City before entering the ancient city himself. Naturally, it would be a walk in the park and reduce the risk.
It was similar to the information and map provided by the school. The area near the north city gate was filled with Skeleton Soldiers. These Skeleton Soldiers were only slightly stronger than adult men who had never cultivated. Against high school students who had cultivated, they would only suffer a beating. Unless one courted death by charging into a horde of Skeleton Soldiers, they typically wouldn't be in too much danger.
Zhou Wen, on the other hand, had no such qualms. He got the blood-colored avatar to charge forward on the Mutated Vigor Ant. Even if he encountered a horde of more than ten Skeleton Soldiers, the Mutated Vigor Ant could easily blast them to smithereens. There was no need for Zhou Wen to control the blood-colored avatar to do anything.
Soon, Zhou Wen rushed out of the map provided by the school.
The ancient city was filled with stone-paved streets and ancient buildings. The deeper one went, the older the buildings became.
Zhou Wen only dared to proceed along the streets, not daring to enter the ancient buildings on either side. The knowledge taught in school repeatedly mentioned that it was best not to enter the buildings in dimensional zones. Many of the buildings were connected to dimensional rifts, so entering them was very likely to cause one to get lost in the dimensional zones.
The drop rate of Skeleton Soldiers was just too low. Zhou Wen had killed at least two hundred Skeleton Soldiers, but apart from the first Skeleton Soldier, not a single hair had dropped.
Zhou Wen wasn't surprised by this. He had previously heard that Skeleton Soldiers were too low in level, so it was rare for them to condense dimensional crystals.
Although the Skeleton Palm was weak, there weren't many who could obtain Skeleton Palm crystals.
As he pondered, he suddenly saw a horde of Skeleton Soldiers on the stone street ahead. There were about twenty to thirty of them. This was the largest horde of Skeleton Soldiers Zhou Wen had seen since he entered.
Unlike the Skeleton Soldiers from before, the horde of Skeleton Soldiers was clustered around a Skeleton General riding a skeleton horse and wielding a bone spear.
The Skeleton General riding the skeleton horse was clearly taller and more muscular than the typical Skeleton Soldier. He was at least a head taller than the typical Skeleton Soldier. Furthermore, his bones were especially thick. They weren't the ordinary grayish-white color, but they suffused a luster that resembled ivory.
The armor on his body was tattered, but he had a dark red cloak draped over his back. Although it was a bit tattered, it was still intact.
The bone spear was more than two meters long. The body of the spear was somewhat uneven, but the spear tip was as sharp as a thorn. Moreover, it had a bone groove. If one was stabbed by the bone spear, it was likely that they would bleed profusely.
When Zhou Wen saw him, he also saw the blood-colored avatar and Mutated Vigor Ant under Zhou Wen's control. However, he didn't pounce forward like ordinary dimensional creatures. He remained seated on the skeleton horse, as though he couldn't be bothered to take action. As for the Skeleton Soldiers, they charged forward like wolves and tigers.
The Mutated Vigor Ant brandished its front claws like two Grim Reaper's scythes. With a single swipe, it sliced through the Skeleton Soldiers' bodies. Moments later, it had killed nearly ten Skeleton Soldiers.
The fellow riding the skeleton horse finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He roared at the sky, letting out a terrifying cry that made one's teeth wince. Then, he urged the horse to charge forward.
The skeleton horse's Speed was far greater than the typical Skeleton Soldier's. It even surprised Zhou Wen. Its Speed was much faster than the Mutated Vigor Ant and the blood-colored avatar. It galloped over like a tornado, in no way slower than the Silver-Winged Flying Ant.
In a blink of an eye, the skeleton horse had arrived in front of the Mutated Vigor Ant. Zhou Wen ordered the Mutated Vigor Ant to brandish its claws to meet the spear. He wanted to use its claws to control the bone spear before letting the blood-colored avatar leap over to strike his head.
However, to his surprise, the bone spear sped up. The tip of the spear turned blurry in Zhou Wen's vision as though it had vanished for an instant.
By the time Zhou Wen could see it clearly again, the bone spear had penetrated the Mutated Vigor Ant's claws and stabbed into the blood-colored avatar's chest.
Pfft!
Blood splattered as the blood-colored avatar tumbled off the Mutated Vigor Ant's back. The game screen turned black as well. Clearly, it had been killed in one shot.
It's that ferocious? Zhou Wen was somewhat delighted. It was only difficult when there was a challenge. Killing the ordinary Skeleton Soldiers was meaningless, nor did they drop anything good.
Just as he was about to restart the game, he saw Li Xuan walking over with two youths about the same age.
Zhou Wen had never seen the two youths before. They didn't look like students from Guide High School. It was highly likely that they were like Li Xuan, students in Guide High School in name but not actually attending school.
"When we enter the ancient city, you don't need to do anything. Just stay by my side. Leave the rest to them." Li Xuan had no intention of introducing Zhou Wen to the two youths. All he did was exhort him casually.
"Alright." Zhou Wen nodded in agreement. Since he could easily pass the combat test, he had no intention of stealing the limelight.
Seeing that the two youths had no intention of greeting him, Zhou Wen was happy to relax. He stood by the side and continued gaming.
The two youths were discussing the combat test with Li Xuan, repeatedly assuring him not to worry. With them around, Li Xuan would definitely get first in Guide City's combat test.
From their tone, getting first in Guide City's combat test was as simple as eating or drinking.
"That's all talk, but you have to do it well. There can't be any mistakes. I'm determined to get first in Guide City's combat test," Li Xuan said.
"Brother Xuan, don't worry. How can a tiny place like Guide City have any true experts? Ignoring the fact that Jiang Hao and I are working together, even if it's just me alone, I can still guarantee you first place," Xu Miantu said indifferently.
Upon seeing Li Xuan frown slightly, Jiang Hao hurriedly said, "Brother Xuan, don't worry. We will do our best and guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
"That's good." Only then did Li Xuan nod slightly.
Xu Miantu was just about to say something when he saw someone walking over.
The four of them turned around and saw that the person who came was a tall beauty. Their eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Zhou Wen, it's great that you found a team," Fang Ruoxi walked in front of Zhou Wen and said with some relief.
Zhou Wen smiled and said, "I have to thank Li Xuan. Thanks to him, I was able to participate in the combat test."
Fang Ruoxi didn't know Li Xuan, much less Xu Miantu or Jiang Hao. However, the fact that Zhou Wen was able to participate in the combat test was a weight lifted off her shoulders. She said with a smile, "I originally wanted to vie for first place, but since you are here, it looks like there's no hope of getting first place."
Xu Miantu was somewhat unhappy when he heard that. Fang Ruoxi made it sound as though they were taking advantage of Zhou Wen by teaming up with him.
