After hearing Zheng Changrong's explanation, Lu An also felt relieved. If he could pass just by passing the test, it would be much simpler. Since he wanted to go to a deeper level to gain experience, he naturally could not keep hiding his strength.
At this moment, Zheng Changrong suddenly asked, "Brother Lu wants to go to the second level?"
Lu An was surprised, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "I'm very unfamiliar with this place. I always have a feeling that I don't belong here. Maybe going to the second level will remind me of something."
"So it's like this …" Zheng Changrong thought about it as he walked, and after a while, he said seriously, "Actually, our Zheng family also has people on the second level. If brother Lu wants to go, I can take you there."
Lu An was startled when he heard this and said, "Wouldn't that be too troublesome?"
"It's not troublesome. I also want to go to the family to report the situation here." Zheng Changrong shook his head and said, "Our Zheng family is also a big family. It is said that we even have people on the third level. There are many clans on this level, but most of them are scattered. We belong to one of the groups. Every clan has a token that leads to a deeper level. I can take you there. "
Lu An thought about it for a moment. He could go there himself, but if he went with Zheng Changrong, it would save him a lot of trouble and he would not need to communicate with others. He could even take the opportunity to sneak into the Zheng family.
"Okay." Lu An nodded and said, "Thank you, brother Zheng."
Along the way, Zheng Changrong explained general knowledge to Lu An. Time passed quickly, and they finally arrived at a village. This village was very simple. Not to mention a city wall, there was not even a fence. There were only twenty houses built on the ground without any rules. The people inside were busy with their own things.
In fact, Zheng Changrong and his group of eleven people were the main force of this group. They were responsible for solving the food problem for everyone. When they saw Zheng Changrong bring back three strange beasts, they were so excited that they jumped up and cheered. This amount of food was enough for them to eat for a long time.
Zheng Changrong introduced Lu An to everyone, and Lu An quickly integrated with everyone. After Zheng Changrong's introduction, everyone knew that Lu An had amnesia. However, many people were even more curious about this matter. After all, amnesia was not common. They volunteered to explain things to Lu An about this world.
From big to small, he explained everything to Lu An in detail. What Lu An needed the most now was to replenish his knowledge of this world. After listening to these people's explanations and descriptions, Lu An also understood that in this world, humans were not the strongest race like on the surface. In fact, there were many races that were stronger than humans, even on the fifth floor. Humans could only be considered a powerful race, but they still had to risk their lives to protect themselves at all times.
At the same time, very few people in the higher realms of the fifth layer would go to the lower realms to live, because it was against the rules. In the underground world, rules were very important, and no one would easily violate them. People in the lower realms could borrow other people's tokens to live in the higher realms. This was allowed by the rules, but there was also a limit to the number of people allowed. People in the higher realms were absolutely not allowed to disturb the order of the lower realms unless it was an extremely special situation.
Moreover, Lu An also confirmed something very important. That was that this world did not have spatial storage items like spatial rings. They did not even know how to use teleportation arrays, and it was the same for people in the higher realms. In that case, the people in the underground world did not know how to use spatial energy. This was undoubtedly a huge advantage for Lu An, and also a powerful means of self-protection.
As for combat skills, under Lu An's request, many people were willing to take out their own combat skills. The combat skills that they possessed could only be considered as low-grade in the Zheng Family. They were not worth much at all, and even if they showed it to outsiders, it was fine. Lu An looked at the contents of the book. It was indeed a combat skill that he had seen before!
However, although Lu An could understand most of the words in the book, there was a considerable portion that he could not understand. The words used in the aboveground world were very different from the words here. There was a huge difference in complexity. The words in the underground world were more complex, but the content could be confirmed through careful consideration.
There was no Heaven's Origin Force or Fate Wheel. The power that was cultivated here was called "Qi". It was a pure power without any attributes. This kind of power had its advantages and disadvantages compared to Heaven's Origin Force. Qi was purer and more powerful. It could be poured into the whole body and at the same time increase strength, defense, and speed. It could be developed in all aspects. Heaven's Origin Force could be changed through attributes and use abilities that Qi could not use. However, according to Lu An's judgment, even if Qi and Heaven's Origin Force had their advantages and disadvantages, Heaven's Origin Force was undoubtedly stronger.
No matter whether it was the variety of uses or the degree of using the power between heaven and earth, Heaven's Origin Force was undoubtedly superior. It was far superior to the use of Qi. Qi was like the most superficial level that humans summed up with their experience when they first cultivated and wanted to obtain power. This did not mean that it was pure. It only meant that the level of understanding was far from enough.
However, in this way, Lu An could not use any special powers in the underground world. Deep Ice, Ninth Heaven Sacred Fire, Immortal Qi, or Death Energy could not be used. He could only rely on his physical strength to fight. In terms of pure physical combat, Qi was ordinary, but these people's battle skills could make up for it.
As for elixirs and weapons, there were only weapons in the underground world. There were no elixirs, and no one knew how to refine elixirs. Plants were extremely rare in the underground world. They were very scarce resources. At the same time, no one knew how to refine elixirs. Once injured or seriously ill, they could only rely on acupuncture and recuperation to heal. However, although there were no elixirs, there were many weapons.
Lu An borrowed the weapons of others and weighed them in his hands. Although these weapons were crude, they were definitely at the level of refiners in the aboveground world. Zheng Changrong was holding a fourth-grade weapon. However, these people could not control flames. How did they refine weapons?
Lu An voiced out his doubts. Zheng Changrong smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Lu really doesn't remember anything. When forging weapons, you have to go to the lava river to let it melt, and then go through a lot of tempering."
"Is the temperature of the magma high enough?" Lu An asked, puzzled.
"Of course." Zheng Changrong nodded and said, "The deeper you go, the higher the temperature of the magma. The magma is a huge treasure. Many races, including us humans, live next to the magma river."
Lu An frowned slightly. It seemed that the temperature of the magma in the underground world was completely different from that of the aboveground world. He felt the hardness of these weapons. They were definitely not something that the magma of the aboveground world could melt. This made him even more curious about the underground world.
As for other customs, they were similar to humans. They had their own surnames and names, and they were also divided according to family. However, there were no human cities on the first level. There were only cities on the second level.
"Brother Lu, when do you want to go to the second level?" Zheng Changrong asked.
"The sooner the better." Lu An said seriously, "I want to go quickly."
Zheng Changrong saw that Lu An was in such a hurry. He thought that Lu An wanted to quickly recover his memory. He said, "Then wait for me to have a meal. After that, we will set off!"
"Okay." Lu An nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Zheng."
"What are you thanking me for? It's just a small matter. You saved eleven of our lives!" Zheng Changrong laughed and said, "Brother Lu, are you hungry? Let's eat together?"
"No." Lu An shook his head slightly and said, "I want to rest for a while. Brother Zheng, call me when you leave."
"Okay, no problem!" Zheng Changrong nodded and helped everyone cook this strange beast. Soon, the whole group of people gathered together and roasted the strange beast's meat over the bonfire. Their life was very simple and primitive.
Zheng Changrong did not delay for long. After half an hour, he picked up his knife and took out the token from the house and said to Lu An, "Brother Lu, let's go!"
Hearing this, Lu An got up and immediately followed. The two of them ran at full speed in the dark world, heading north.
