'Absorbed Realmwind Insect Crystal. Attained wind-elemental Primordial Energy Skill, Returning Wind.'
Isn't it Realmwind? Zhou Wen was somewhat disappointed. He had already witnessed the power of Realmwind. He had originally hoped that it would be Realmwind, but to his surprise, it wasn't.
He carefully looked at Returning Wind's information and saw that it was a wind-elemental passive Primordial Energy Skill. It couldn't be used actively and could only be used when certain conditions were met.
Returning Wind: Requires a saber aura-type Primordial Energy Skill to trigger, producing a returning wind effect.
Zhou Wen didn't know what the Returning Wind effect meant, but he did know a saber aura-type Primordial Energy Skill. It was the Astral Slash Blade that he had obtained from the Mutated Demonized General. However, Zhou Wen had combined the three skills into one, fusing them into the Demonic Astral Wheel. Now, Zhou Wen didn't know if it was still considered a saber aura-type Primordial Energy Skill.
Since I've already learned it, I'll give it a try. Zhou Wen continued walking forward and arrived at the hiding spot of a Realmwind Insect. As he drew his saber, he used the Demonic Astral Wheel Primordial Energy Skill. A sanguine beam slashed out from the Bamboo Blade, forming a ring of sanguine light. Like a saw blade, it sliced the stone pillar into two, killing the Realmwind Insect inside.
Zhou Wen sheathed his saber and was about to walk over to check the Realmwind Insect's corpse to see if there were any crystals inside when he saw a sanguine beam flash. The Astral Wheel that Zhou Wen had previously slashed out flew back. Thankfully, Zhou Wen reacted quickly enough to dodge; otherwise, he would have been struck by his own Primordial Energy Skill.
Crack!
The Demonic Astral Wheel slashed at the stone wall behind Zhou Wen, splitting it into two before vanishing.
This Returning Wind is rather interesting. Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised. Typical Primordial Energy Skills couldn't be controlled after being slashed out.
However, Returning Wind allowed the slashed Demonic Astral Wheel to have the possibility of being controlled.
"Young Master Wen's saber aura is very strange. It seems to be somewhat similar to the legendary spiraling saber aura, but it's not quite the same. The spiraling saber aura wins with technique. The saber aura follows an arc, making it difficult to predict, but it lacks destructive power. Young Master Wen, your saber beam is extremely domineering, but it's also extremely strange. It's impossible to guard against it. If I hadn't seen this saber strike before, I would never have imagined that the saber beam could return. There's a high chance that I would be severely injured or even die, "Lu Yunxian said.
"I haven't been learning for long, so I haven't mastered it yet. Sorry for the embarrassment," Zhou Wen said.
"Then you really have to practice it properly. This kind of technique will often have miraculous effects on the battlefield." However, Lu Yunxian said seriously, "A battle on the battlefield is all about a one-hit kill. Everyone is fighting with all their might, but if a saber were to suddenly slash at them from the back, I'm afraid not many people can dodge it."
"Alright." Zhou Wen nodded. "We'll talk about it in the future. It's more important to find An Sheng and company now."
Zhou Wen was rather familiar with the ruins' interior. Previously, he had deliberately taken a detour to kill the Realmwind Insect. Now that he had obtained the Wind Crystal he wanted and absorbed it, he didn't take any detours. He headed for the entrance of the underground tunnel.
"Young Master Wen, could that be the underground entrance that Liu Chengzhi … No … Mei mentioned …" Lu Yunxian said as he pointed at a dilapidated building.
The building was squarish like a stone box. Only one side was empty. From the empty side, one could see a stone staircase that led underground.
On both sides of the stone steps, one could see two strange stone statues. The one on the left was like a tiger, but it had wings on its back. The one on the right was like a bird, but it had two bull-like horns on its head.
"It should be here." Zhou Wen obviously knew that this was the entrance to the underground tunnel. He had come here many times in-game, but he had never entered.
Not seeing An Sheng and company here left Zhou Wen, who had expected it, somewhat disappointed. In that case, he could only enter the tunnel to find them.
I wonder if this thing can replace the effects of stone artifacts? Zhou Wen glanced at the stone egg in the chaos space and felt somewhat depressed.
"Young Master Wen, I'll go in and take a look first," Lu Yunxian said.
"Don't go in yet. It's dangerous here. It doesn't matter if we get trapped, but if we lose the stone artifact, it won't be worth it," Zhou Wen said.
"Then what should we do?" Lu Yunxian asked.
"Let's wait a day or two. If An Sheng hasn't come out by then, we'll go in." Zhou Wen needed time to understand the situation in the underground tunnel. Otherwise, he would be sending himself to his death.
After all, he was only at the Legendary stage. His cultivation level wasn't strong enough, so he couldn't forcefully barge in like An Sheng and Ouyang Lan. If an accident happened, he might not be able to deal with it due to his lack of strength.
Lu Yunxian followed Zhou Wen's lead. Since Zhou Wen had said so, he had no objections.
"Stay here and wait for An Sheng and company to come out. I'll clean up the worms in the ruins to prevent them from encountering trouble after they come out." As Zhou Wen spoke, he was about to leave when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the underground tunnel.
Zhou Wen listened attentively. The sound resembled the sound of a train running on the tracks. Clang … Clang … It was very rhythmic, as though there was a train running underground. Furthermore, the sound was getting louder and louder. Looking at the pitch-black stone steps, it was as though a train would rush out at any moment.
It's a pity that Truth Listener is evolving. Otherwise, with its ability, it would be able to figure out what's going on inside. Zhou Wen was already beginning to miss Truth Listener's ability. It was just too versatile and could solve many problems.
If I remember correctly, there wasn't a railway here in the past. There shouldn't be a train here. Could it be that there's something similar to a train in myths and legends? Lu Yunxian listened for a while and also felt that the sound resembled a train.
Zhou Wen shook his head in silence. In this era, he wouldn't find it unbelievable that a spaceship would come out from underground.
The two of them stared warily at the stone steps. It was pitch-black inside, like the huge mouth of a monster from hell. They couldn't see anything, but they could hear the clanging sounds getting louder and louder. It was as though a train was about to come out.
Zhou Wen and Lu Yunxian looked at each other and took a step back. They stood on both sides of the stone passageway. If a train really rushed out, it wouldn't directly hit them.
As the sound got closer, Zhou Wen felt that a train was about to rush out. In the darkness, Zhou Wen seemed to see a train's headlights flickering.
"There's really a train down there?" Lu Yunxian also saw the light and couldn't help but say in surprise.
"I don't know if it's a train, but that thing is about to come out. Be careful." Zhou Wen summoned Doctor Darkness and made him possess him in his soul form. Then, he used Doctor Darkness's Light of Penetration to look into the dark tunnel.
