An Sheng came to fetch Zhou Wen. There were more than ten people with him, but apart from Zhou Wen, they were basically all Epic experts.
Although most of them were older than An Sheng, they were respectful to him and didn't dare to slight him in the slightest.
However, most of them didn't look like soldiers. There were men and women, young and old. They looked very strange, and it was unknown where they came from.
They weren't interested in Zhou Wen, and Zhou Wen didn't want to know who they were. Therefore, he enjoyed the peace and played games in the car.
Tiger Cage Pass was guarded by the black-armored general, so Zhou Wen couldn't rush in. However, he recalled what the Wu siblings had said. There seemed to be a secret passageway that could enter Tiger Cage City, but he couldn't find it despite searching for it in-game many times.
Could it be that there's no secret passageway in-game? Or is there some mechanism to the secret passageway? Zhou Wen was momentarily unable to guess.
"Lad, is the game fun?" Sitting opposite Zhou Wen was a man with white hair, but he looked like a middle-aged man. He looked at Zhou Wen and asked.
They were riding in a large military truck that had extremely strong off-road capabilities. However, it was a little shaky, so it wasn't too cramped for more than ten people to sit in.
"It's fun," Zhou Wen answered casually.
"It's very rare to see young people like you who like to play games these days. Back when I was your age, everyone played games. There were all sorts of gaming competitions. After the dimensional storms, not many people play anymore. How nostalgic," the man said.
"Have you experienced the dimensional storms?" Zhou Wen looked at the man in surprise. From the looks of it, he didn't look that old.
Before the man could say a word, a middle-aged man beside him curled his lips and said, "You don't even know Lord Alcohol's name. Young man, you still have a lot to learn. Take your time."
However, Lord Alcohol smiled and said, "I was originally ranked ninth in my family. People used to call me Old Nine, but as I grew older and liked to drink, I gradually became Lord Alcohol. It's just a nickname. Young man, how should I address you?"
"My name is Zhou Wen," Zhou Wen answered. These people clearly didn't know his origins. They only knew that he had been brought here by An Sheng.
"Zhou Wen." Lord Alcohol repeated it twice as though he was recalling the information related to this name. Unfortunately, he didn't gain anything. Hence, he said, "Are you going to the ancient battlefield in Zhuolu this time?"
"I'm still a student. How can I have the ability to go to such a place?" Zhou Wen said.
"Oh, then why are you going to Zhuolu?" the middle-aged man pressed.
"Learning to broaden my horizons," Zhou Wen answered. He wasn't familiar with these people, so he was just responding casually.
"Traveling ten thousand miles isn't as good as reading ten thousand books, especially in this era. It's not bad for young people to come out and broaden their horizons," Lord Alcohol said with a smile.
"I'm just afraid that I won't be able to learn anything and will lose my life in the end," a woman in her thirties who looked very cold suddenly said.
"That's right. A place like Zhuolu isn't a place you can casually visit. Even the Federation reconnaissance team is trapped inside. It's a land of death with a high chance of survival. Lord Alcohol, how confident are you this time? "The middle-aged man wasn't interested in Zhou Wen. After saying a few words, he directed the topic at Lord Alcohol.
"It's hard to say. The situation in the ancient battlefield isn't clear. I can't tell anything with the little information I have. I'll take a look when I get there," Lord Alcohol said indifferently.
While they were talking, the truck suddenly came to a halt.
"What happened?" Lord Alcohol looked at the driver's seat.
"Something's blocking the way." An Sheng, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, had already opened the door and jumped out.
Lord Alcohol and the others also came out of the trunk. Indeed, they saw that the road ahead was blocked by something, but it wasn't something like a rock. Instead, a plant's vines had grown onto the road and wrapped around the trees on both sides of the road, blocking the road.
Everyone could see that the vine seemed a little strange. It was a purple vine with dark green leaves, and there were a few fruits on it.
However, the fruits were somewhat strange. They didn't look like ordinary fruits. They looked like purple copper bells hanging on the vines.
The bells weren't the round kind, but they looked like small copper bells. When the wind blew, the purple copper bells swayed slightly on the vines and actually made a metallic clanking sound.
However, everyone could clearly see that the bells were clearly growing on the vines. How could they be made of metal?
"Adjutant An, shall I lead the way?" a muscular middle-aged man walked out and said to An Sheng.
"Be careful." An Sheng nodded slightly.
The middle-aged man responded and summoned an elephant-like dimensional creature. He made the elephant charge at the vines. The elephant's body burned with flames as it charged at the vines like a meteor.
With the flaming elephant's size and speed, it looked like it would be easy for it to smash through the vines. Furthermore, it had terrifying flames on its body.
However, when the flaming elephant slammed into the vines, it seemed to have fallen into a swamp. The vines wrapped around its body and it couldn't move an inch.
It unleashed its strength, hoping to use flames to burn the vines that wrapped around its body. The flames spread across the vines and soon, the entire vine was set ablaze.
However, the vines weren't burned. Instead, the flaming elephant's body shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye as though it had been sucked dry by a vampire.
Bam!
In just a short while, the flaming elephant's body was sucked out of shape as it collapsed and turned to ashes.
Everyone's faces revealed solemn expressions. The muscular man was somewhat moved as well. Although the flaming elephant was only a Legendary Companion Beast that he had used to scout the way, it had been easily killed by the vines. The vines were probably not simple.
The flames on the vines gradually extinguished. Just as the muscular man was about to take action again, he saw the bells suddenly shake violently.
In the next second, a few purple copper bells spewed out a large amount of flames, sweeping towards the group of people in an overwhelming manner.
The cold woman summoned a white fox. The fox opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of cold white mist towards the flames. Immediately, the flames were extinguished. The white mist continued to float towards the vines.
Soon, the cold fog enveloped the vines, causing frost to appear on them as though they had been frozen.
"Snow Fox indeed lives up to its reputation," the muscular man praised.
But just as he finished speaking, he saw the frost on the vines quickly melt, and the few purple copper bells shook a few times, and actually spat out a large amount of white fog, which swept towards the group.
