"If it wasn't for my identity, why do you think An Sheng got you to take care of me?" Seeing that Xu Wen was still hesitating, Zhou Wen went against his conscience and said, "I have a very good relationship with Ouyang Lan. We're like biological mother and son. My concern for her is no less than the An siblings. Can you tell me what happened?"
Xu Wen hesitated for a moment and felt that it wasn't a secret, so she recounted the situation to Zhou Wen.
After Zhou Wen heard that, he turned around and walked out of the camp.
Although Lu Yunxian was also an Epic expert, he didn't have any capable subordinates. The low-level officers he brought were basically at the Legendary stage. With their abilities, it was too difficult to deal with the dimensional creatures in the ancient battlefield.
Their lives had nothing to do with Zhou Wen, but if he couldn't retrieve the stone artifact, Ouyang Lan might die. It was even possible that the former principal was in the underground stone tunnel. Therefore, Zhou Wen had to retrieve the stone artifact no matter what.
"Hey, where are you going?" Xu Wen hurriedly chased after Zhou Wen when she saw him walking out of the camp.
"I'm going to help Commander Lu and the others retrieve the stone artifact," Zhou Wen said.
"Stop fooling around. You're a student. Why are you causing trouble?" Xu Wen hurriedly stopped Zhou Wen. Lu Yunxian had asked her to watch Zhou Wen, so she couldn't let him do anything rash.
"Head Nurse Xu, you are the medical team's highest-ranking officer and the best doctor. Why didn't you participate in this operation?" Zhou Wen asked Xu Wen.
Xu Wen snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it because of you? If it weren't for me staying behind to take care of you, I would definitely have gone. Therefore, you should stay here obediently and stop causing trouble."
"Then are you really not going? The ancient battlefield is fraught with danger. As the best doctor here, you actually stayed behind and watched indifferently as your comrades sacrificed themselves. A comrade who could have survived died because you weren't there. Can you really feel at ease? "Zhou Wen stared at Xu Wen and enunciated each word clearly." That's right. You're right.
Xu Wen's expression changed slightly, but she still said, "Whatever you say is useless. You have to stay in the camp and not go anywhere. Otherwise, I won't be able to answer to Commander Lu, Adjutant An, and Madam Lan."
"Commander Lu got you to protect me, right?" Zhou Wen said after some thought.
"That's right." Xu Wen nodded.
"He didn't say that I can't leave the military camp, right?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"This …" Xu Wen hesitated.
"Since he didn't say that I'm not allowed to go out and wants you to protect me, you have to go wherever I go, right?" Zhou Wen asked again.
Xu Wen was slightly taken aback as her expression turned odd.
"Then, do you want to go?" Zhou Wen stared at Xu Wen with a burning gaze.
No, I can't let you take the risk … Xu Wen struggled inwardly.
"Let's just go to the blood river to take a look. We won't cross it. Waiting here is just too torturous. You also want to wait at the nearest spot, right?" Zhou Wen said sincerely as he looked at Xu Wen.
"This …" Xu Wen was still very hesitant.
"Anyway, I have to go take a look. It's up to you whether you want to go or not," Zhou Wen said as he circled around Xu Wen and walked towards the camp's entrance.
Xu Wen gritted her teeth and didn't stop him. She chased after him out of the camp.
Xu Wen felt that a pampered fellow like Zhou Wen definitely wouldn't have the guts to enter the ancient battlefield if he stayed in the military camp all day gaming and eating supplements.
The main reason was that she was equally anxious. If she continued waiting in the military camp, she would feel uneasy. In fact, she wanted to go more than Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen's words had already made her waver.
"How long will it take you to walk? Come on up." Xu Wen summoned a white lion. The lion was extremely majestic and taller than a horse.
Zhou Wen originally wanted to summon a mount, but his mount wasn't very fast. It wasn't even as fast as he ran, so it was useless.
Seeing that Xu Wen's white lion was running rather fast, Zhou Wen jumped up and sat behind her.
Xu Wen ordered the white lion to run at full speed as it chased after Commander Lu and company.
"Don't run too fast," Zhou Wen suddenly said to Xu Wen.
Xu Wen was slightly taken aback before she understood what Zhou Wen meant. If they ran too fast and caught up to Commander Lu and company, they would definitely be chased back.
Xu Wen snorted. When she saw the army from afar, she slowed down a little.
Xu Wen drove the white lion in front while Zhou Wen sat behind and continued gaming. Ghost Bride had also found the tunnel and stone steps in the ruins.
However, there seemed to be some terrifying power inside that made Ghost Bride hesitate.
Zhou Wen knew that Ghost Bride must have sensed something, but unfortunately, she couldn't express it. Zhou Wen could only vaguely sense from her consciousness that she seemed to be afraid of something and didn't dare enter the tunnel.
Since Ghost Bride didn't dare enter, Zhou Wen could only think of a way to enter himself. Ouyang Lan and the former principal might be trapped inside. Even if he didn't enter in the future, An Sheng would definitely enter. If he could know what danger was inside ahead of time, he could warn An Sheng ahead of time, reducing their sacrifices and giving him a greater chance of rescuing Ouyang Lan and the former principal.
What is the power that severed a person's head in the ruins? Zhou Wen had already restarted the game a few times and thought of many methods, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of power it was.
Even Doctor Darkness's Light of Penetration didn't see any problems in the ruins.
Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment before getting Doctor Darkness to transform into his companion form. Doctor Darkness's body transformed into a beam of light that attached itself to the blood-colored avatar like a phantom.
Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback when he realized that in the blood-colored avatar's skill column, there were three additional skills — Scalpel, Fight Poison With Poison, and Light of Penetration.
Doctor Darkness's soul form actually attached his power to his owner, allowing the owner to use his powers.
Zhou Wen was delighted as he controlled the blood-colored avatar to head for the ruins again. Soon, he encountered a Wangliang.
Zhou Wen knew how Doctor Darkness had killed the Wangliang, so he activated Light of Penetration. His eyes shot out beams of light at the Wangliang's body.
Under the effects of Light of Penetration, the Wangliang's body seemed to turn transparent. The various meridians and organs inside could be seen clearly. Zhou Wen immediately saw a tiny black bead rapidly flowing in the Wangliang's body. The bead was only the size of a rice grain and was extremely inconspicuous. It flowed very quickly, jumping around like a heartbeat. Furthermore, it didn't have any pattern, making it difficult to capture its trajectory.
Zhou Wen immediately came to a realization and knew how to kill the Wangliang.
Activating Ghost Steps, Zhou Wen instantly appeared behind the Wangliang and activated Scalpel. A white light condensed into a scalpel that instantly stabbed into the Wangliang's body, hitting the beating bead.
Bam!
The moment the bead broke, the Wangliang's body immediately turned into a pool of black water that scattered to the ground. A notification popped up in-game that he had killed an Epic creature, the Wangliang.
As long as I can figure out the abilities and weaknesses of Epic creatures, it's not impossible for me to kill them with my current abilities. Zhou Wen increasingly felt the importance of knowing himself and his enemy.
