Chapter 487 The Mascot, Fang Ping
Chapter 487 The Mascot, Fang Ping
Outside the village.
Fang ping and the others stared at the village for a moment. Fang ping said softly, "I'll go in and take a look first. You guys guard outside. Let's see if we can get some information. "
"Alright," he said.
The few of them were not worried about Fang Ping's safety. It was just a village.
In the catacombs, there was a clear hierarchy.
In a village like this, having a rank-3 martial artist would be enough to hold out the heavens.
These two years, Tiannan's catacombs had been closed, which was why these villages had a place to live.
If it were any other catacombs, such a village would have long been abandoned.
After Fang ping said that, he suddenly glanced at Qin Fengqing and asked curiously,""Why didn't you snatch it this time?"
Qin Fengqing was speechless,"snatch what?" "In this poor place, can we even snatch three to five grams of cultivation-aiding energy stones?"
What was Fang ping thinking?
Do you think I'm interested in this little thing now?
If it was in the past ... He would definitely have snatched it.
However, even though he, Qin Fengqing, was poor now, his standards had also been set higher. Ordinary things really did not catch his eye.
Fang ping sneered and did not say anything else. He casually put on a long-hair hood and draped a catacombs martial artist's clothes over his shoulders. He stepped into the air and leaped, entering the village directly.
……
In the village, Fang ping had long sensed that the strongest person was only a rank-2 martial artist.
The entire village was not big, and the population was small.
When Fang ping entered the village, he did not hide much, but still, no one noticed him.
Very quickly, Fang ping entered a large courtyard.
The courtyard was a little boorish. It was one of the few places in the village that had Energy Lights on.
……
A moment later, Fang ping kicked the door open and entered.
In the house, a rank-2 old man suddenly burst out. Fang ping swept his gaze across him and immediately suppressed the other party until he could not move.
"Impudent! How dare you attack this commander!"
"Kneel down!"
Fang ping shouted coldly. At this moment, he had already released the mental suppression on the other party.
Even though he had released his restraint, the old man still knelt on the ground and did not get up. Not only that, the old man hurriedly kowtowed, causing the bluestone floor to make loud banging sounds!
"Your ... Your Excellency, please forgive me!"
The old man's tone was almost like he was crying.
Commander!
How was that possible?
A commander-level expert had actually come to his house?
At this moment, the old man was so scared that he almost peed his pants.
In the catacombs, commander-level powerhouses were high and mighty. In the royal city, they were all overlords.
Some of the commanders built their own cities and became the Lords of their cities, intimidating everyone.
A commander-level powerhouse had actually come to their run-down village!
The old man trembled. He didn't even have time to think about why his wife and children in the house were silent.
Fang ping sat down on the chair casually and did not let the other party get up. He sat down and said, "I'm not from Rose City. This time, the 11 Southern Territories and the land of rebirth are at war ... Forget it, there's no need to explain anything to you!"
The moment Fang ping said this, the old man immediately kowtowed, as if he had heard some great secret. He said in a trembling voice,"Milord ... Milord, please spare my life. This lowly one will not dare to reveal the slightest bit of information ..."
"Cut the crap. I saw a land of rebirth martial artist hiding in this area. Did you notice?"
"Land of ... Resurrection?"
"They're the martial artists from the abandoned city at the edge of the forbidden Sea ..."
"Martial artists from the South ..."
The old man immediately understood. He didn't know about the land of rebirth, but he knew about the abandoned Southern Heaven city.
The southern Heaven city had been established for several years, and the martial artists of the southern Heaven city had attacked everywhere, wiping out all the nearby villages.
This place had been abandoned for a long time. It was only two years ago when the southern Heaven city was destroyed that the vagrants returned to the original place and rebuilt the village.
The old man trembled when he heard that the Warriors of the southern Heaven city had returned and had come to kill him.
Was the great battle ... Here again?
Regardless of whether it was the catacombs or earth, once a war broke out, the ones who suffered were the lower-class citizens.
In a war between races, both sides would not care about anything. When they encountered each other, they would kill each other.
"A few years ago, countless ordinary people and weaklings have died in Tiannan catacombs.
……
A commander-level expert had come to hunt down a martial artist from the South and asked for information. The old man did not dare to hide anything and told him everything he knew.
In fact, from the beginning to the end, the other party did not even dare to look up at Fang ping.
The old man felt like he was a small boat that could be smacked to death by a huge wave at any moment. The powerful energy fluctuations that flashed past made him tremble with fear.
Furthermore, the other party was not from Rose Capital city, but a powerhouse from another capital city.
They belonged to the Rose Capital city, so the powerhouses here might not kill them wantonly. However, they did not have so many scruples when it came to foreign powerhouses.
Even if some of Fang Ping's questions had nothing to do with investigating the martial artists of Tiannan, the old man answered them one by one, not daring to hide anything.
Fang ping asked for a long time. He was also very detailed and asked a lot.
After he finished asking his questions, he let out a soft sigh and did not say anything. His spiritual power burst out and instantly shattered the other party's weak spirit.
The old man died instantly.
With a wave of his hand, Fang ping moved the old man to a chair. He did not look at him anymore and disappeared from the village. As for what the villagers would think when he found out that the old man was dead the next day, Fang ping could not be bothered.
……
Outside the village.
Fang ping stepped on the air and returned. Very quickly, he said,"Not many people know about this place, but ... There's a bit of information."
Fang ping saw Wang Jinyang's gaze and thought for a moment before saying,"Two years ago, after the southern Heaven city was destroyed, the catacombs was in turmoil for a period of time. At that time, teacher Zhang was not the only one who stayed in the catacombs ..."
"Yes, I know. We were in a hurry to evacuate and some people were not in the southern Heaven city. We didn't have time to wait and had to give up on these people. "
Fang ping nodded and continued."During that period of time, there were many sporadic battles. Rose City was the city closest to South Heaven city. Killing and capturing these people was also Rose city's main mission ..."
Wang Jinyang instantly caught the main point. He frowned and said,"Wait, capture? "When the catacombs martial artists fight humans, they never capture them. When both sides encounter each other, only one side will die!"
At the side, Qin Fengqing said,"I think it's normal. They were killed before, but our people have retreated. They're preparing to attack earth after the passageway opens. Isn't it normal to capture some people and ask for information?"
Fang ping nodded as well."We're not the only ones who want to understand the information. I'm afraid the catacombs are also thinking the same thing. However, even if they had captured each other's people, under normal circumstances, they wouldn't have been able to get anything out of each other.
However, the southern Heaven city had been destroyed and the passage had been sealed. The people who had stayed there had lost their way out and had no hope.
"Perhaps...The catacombs powerhouses feel that they can ask something at this moment.
To understand the other party's information was something that any superior would consider.
"The restricted zones in the catacombs might know more about humans, but powerhouses from small domains like this might not know much. It's normal for them to have such thoughts."
"Then, our people won't reveal the secret, right?" Qin Fengqing was a little uncertain.
Fang ping laughed,"it doesn't matter. So what if I know?" "Now, I understand why some information is not disclosed to the outside world. Even if everyone knows, how much do you know before you reach that realm?
How much do we know about the government's secrets?
We didn't know anything about the summit.
Even though we know a little now, how much do you know? How do you know what you know is the truth? It was all hearsay.
Therefore, even if a human is captured and some information is leaked, it doesn't matter. "
"What I'm curious about now is that since the martial artists from Tiannan catacombs have captured these people, does that mean that these guys have learned our language?" Fang ping said, smiling.
It was extremely difficult for an ordinary person to learn a language that they had never come into contact with before.
Powerhouses, on the other hand, had a strong memory. As long as both parties communicated more and learned each other's language, Fang ping did not think it would be difficult.
In the past, his teacher had told him that when the catacombs people and humans met, they would only fight each other. Both sides would not communicate.
Now, Fang ping knew that that was for the weak. Those Paragon powerhouses had guarded the mountain for hundreds of years. Did they not communicate with the other party?
If they didn't communicate, then there wouldn't be any human ancient martial art practitioners entering the restricted area for training.
Moreover, pudgy Jiang had also mentioned that there was actually a course in Star Town City, which was the study of the catacombs 'language. It had not only been available in the last two years, but had been available for a long time.
This meant that humans had actually learned the catacombs language a long time ago.
Why didn't they make it public a long time ago for humans to learn ...
Fang ping actually had some rather unfriendly judgments in his heart, which was to cut off the human's thoughts of peace talks with the other party.
Sometimes, it was true that there would be some trouble when the language was used.
Like ... Surrender?
"Now, the martial artists guarding the catacombs, no matter how strong or weak, will fight each other to the death when they encounter them. Both sides don't even have the mood to talk.
However, if both sides learned each other's language, they might not kill each other on sight.
"And now, he's starting to teach the catacombs language. It's probably because of the situation.
At this stage, the enmity between the two sides was as deep as the sea. They were both stained with each other's blood, and it was impossible to sit down and talk about peace.
"I'm afraid the higher-ups already know about the catacombs language. Mcmau isn't doing well, so they only found out now. "
Fang ping shook his head. This meant that in the eyes of the higher-ups, mcmau was still not the decisive core of combat strength.
However, this was also a fact. The strongest person in mcmau was only a rank-8. In the eyes of the human upper echelons, those who had not reached rank-9 would not be considered as strategic powerhouses.
Wang Jinyang was not interested in this. Instead, he immediately said,"So, some humans have been captured alive?"
"There are!"
Fang ping nodded."The person I asked just now said he saw it. The guards of Rose City captured human martial artists alive. However, they all entered the inner city. He didn't have the qualifications to enter. He didn't know what happened after that.
As for Zhang Laoshi ... Whether he was captured alive or not, that was something that he wasn't sure of.
He's just a nobody, and he doesn't know much. "
Fang ping continued,"and there was no news of those humans after that. Even if they were alive then, they might have been killed in the later stages."
Fang ping sighed. This was very normal.
On earth, some catacombs martial artists had been captured alive, but they were all used for experiments or to provide energy like mcmau's vitality pool.
These catacombs martial artists did not have a good ending.
"Similarly, when the catacombs humans capture human martial artists, they might also study them or ask for information. The probability of them being killed directly is not low.
As for imprisonment, Fang ping felt that the probability was not high.
When Wang Jinyang heard this, he sighed after a while. "That's true. Then let's look around again. The southern Heaven passage is now open, and the battle between the experts today has not stopped.
If his teacher was still alive, he might have rushed to the southern Heaven city.
If it was true ... Then it would be useless to continue looking.
If he was captured, given his teacher's personality, he would not reveal anything to the outside world and would most likely be killed.
Since he died in Rose City, there's no need to talk about returning. "
"How about ... I go to Rose City to take a look?" Fang ping said after some thought.
Wang Jinyang's expression changed slightly. He shook his head and said,"Forget it. There's no need to take this risk. Although you can hide your aura, it'll still be very dangerous if you encounter a high-ranked.
"Moreover, you're a stranger entering the city. You'll attract a bit of attention.
For the sake of my teacher, I've already taken a huge risk by letting you all come in with me.
If we were to enter the city again, even teacher wouldn't agree to it. "
At the side, Qin Fengqing yawned and said,"This guy, I think he wants to enter the city himself. There are huge mines in the city."
Fang ping frowned and said,"get lost!" I'm not even planning to enter the city this time ..."
"Then I won't go!" Qin Fengqing chuckled."Fang ping, let's look around the area. If we can't find it, are you interested in accompanying me to the boundary?"
"Get lost! You're crazy, but I'm not!"
Fang Ping's expression was unfriendly. A place where even a rank-9 Paragon could fall was much more dangerous than the royal city.
Rather than going to the precinct, it was better to go to the capital to mine.
Moreover, this place was too far away from the boundary, thousands of miles away. There were many dangerous areas in the middle. Fang ping felt that there was no need to make this trip.
After scolding Qin Fengqing, Fang ping turned to Wang Jinyang and said,"How about this, let's look for it again. If there's still no news ... I'll go to Rose City to take a look and ask about the situation.
Or ... He could go to the nearby big towns and capture some experts to ask.
"The guy inside is only a rank-2. Ask a rank-5 or rank-6 one. He might know more."
Before Wang Jinyang could say anything, Qin Fengqing immediately said,""Right, capture some experts and ask them! "While the battle at the southern Heaven city is not over yet, and those powerhouses are not here, we might be able to snatch some real cities. Not to mention the royal city, even those small rank-7 cities!
I've taken a look before, and there are three such small cities near Rose City.
The nearest one is only fifty miles away from us.
Let's hurry over and snatch it first, what do you think?"
Seeing that the others were silent, Qin Fengqing egged them on, "What's there to be afraid of? we'll just enter the catacombs and kill a few enemies to show off our presence, right? We're here to exterminate the catacombs. It's no big deal that we've destroyed a few small cities. "
The more he said, the more Qin Fengqing felt that it was reliable. His eyes were burning as he said,"The royal city probably won't turn out in full strength, but in a small city like this, there are rank-7s. They've probably been recruited.
Some of the people who were left behind were at most at mentality-vitality fusion!
And it wouldn't be much, so the danger wasn't great.
Mentality-vitality fusion was not something that could be easily dealt with. If they joined forces, they could kill a few of them.
Everyone, this kind of opportunity to destroy a city doesn't come often!
"Over here at Tiannan catacombs, there are quite a few types of energy fruits that can increase mentality. Now that we've cultivated to this stage, we'll soon face the weakness of having weak mentality and being unable to withstand the attacks of a rank-7 ...
I should take this opportunity to get some fruits that can increase my mental energy. This is a rare opportunity!"
Fang ping was a little moved by his words, but he immediately rebuked,"Shut up, we're here to find someone, not to cause trouble! "If the higher ranks in front of us return, we'll be in trouble!"
"What are you afraid of? just take it as relieving the pressure on us grandmasters."
Qin Fengqing's eyes lit up as he continued,"If the few of us come in and we can't even contain a high-ranked, wouldn't that be embarrassing? "If we lure one high-ranked away, we might be able to save one Grandmaster from being sacrificed!
Sacrificing oneself for others and preserving the strength and life of a Grandmaster is what martial artists of my generation should do!
"Fang ping ... If you really can't do it, you can go to the 11 cities and take a look. You might as well blow up their energy mines. Who knows, you might be able to hold back seven or eight rank-9s.
Then you're the great hero of mankind!"
Fang Ping's expression was dark, and he gritted his teeth,"you want me to die immediately?" "Not all the rank-9s in the catacombs are out. If we really lure seven or eight rank-9s back, I'll just wait for my death!"
Qin Fengqing shrugged his shoulders."Do as you wish then. You won't give it to me even if you snatch it. Why don't we go to the small city like we said before?"
Rose City has three small subsidiary cities. After snatching these three cities, I'll go to the precinct ..."
"Why do you have to go to the precinct?"
Fang ping was still a little confused. Why did this guy keep wanting to go to the boundary?
Logically speaking, if he really robbed a few small cities, there was no need for him to take the risk.
Qin Fengqing coughed drily and yawned,""Let's go and see if there are any other opportunities. "
Fang ping swept him a glance and said after a while,""Did pudgy Jiang say something to you? Or have you read some ancient records?"
Qin Fengqing was actually a straight-A student. This guy read a lot of miscellaneous books.
There were some ancient records that others might not know, but he did.
This was especially true in some of the legends. This guy had studied the catacombs deeply. He had once told Fang ping that some people had obtained great opportunities, some had consumed holy spring water, and became grandmasters in a day or something.
Back then, Fang ping did not believe in this.
In the end ... Fang ping believed it!
Take the life essence as an example. This thing was probably the Holy spring that Qin Fengqing had mentioned.
And a great opportunity or something ... Wasn't that what Zhang Tao was like?
Back at Hedgehog Ridge, Qin Fengqing had said that there was a hundred-tempering fruit, and Fang ping had indeed found one.
This guy was very sensitive to such information. He felt that there would be benefits there. Under normal circumstances, there would indeed be benefits.
He had wanted to enter the boundary right from the start. Fang ping suspected that this guy had hidden some secrets from him. Perhaps there was something in the boundary that attracted him to look for it.
"How could that be? I just wanted to go and take a look ..." Qin Fengqing said, his expression unchanging.
"After traveling thousands of miles, there are dangers everywhere, and you're just going to take a look? Or perhaps, you're doing this just for a few energy stones? "If that's the case, you might as well think of a way to mine the energy mine near Half Moon Lake."
Qin Fengqing said unhappily,"I'm really just looking ..."
Seeing the three of them staring at him, Qin Fengqing was a little embarrassed. He said helplessly,"Why are you looking at me like that? Alright, alright, alright, I'll explain, explain, alright! Pudgy Jiang said that he had gone to the library in star suppression city and found some records about the world.
The realmlands were different from the catacombs. If the catacombs only had a little more energy, then the realmlands would be the real ancient immortal world.
In the world, there were many heavenly treasures of all kinds!
For example, Saint fruits that could reconstruct meridians, Saint fruits that could reconstruct flesh and blood, and Immortal Fruits that could increase spiritual power ...
These were all worthless trinkets. There was still the eternal spring over there!
Do you know what the eternal spring is?
It was a pond made entirely of imperishable substances. F * ck, if he jumped in and took a bath, he might be able to form a golden body!
Besides, there were numerous relics there, some of which were left by Warriors from ancient times. It was said that there might be spiritual cultivation methods there. Of course, there might be some, but Star Town City didn't have them.
Also, pudgy Jiang said that it was very difficult for Paragon experts to be born, but the realm...Might contain the secrets of paragons.
Commander li might have entered the precinct back then!
In short, the world was very magical!
And ..."
At the end of his speech, Qin Fengqing said in a low voice,"Maybe ... Maybe those genius martial artists who entered the restricted area, including the geniuses from the catacombs, might have all headed to the precinct!
"You might think that you've gone to the restricted area, but in reality, you've just entered the world through the restricted area.
Of course, this is just a guess. I'm not sure if it's true or not.
In addition, there were many boundary lands. 108 regions, there were 108 boundary lands in total. In fact, not every boundary land had opportunities, but some boundary lands really had a lot of good things.
"I'm not talented enough. No matter how hard I cultivate, even if I drink energy stones like water, I can't possibly be rank-8 or 9 in a day.
However, in the realm, everything was possible!
This is also the only opportunity for me to quickly break through. Compared to the Forbidden Zone, the boundary is much easier.
There was no one guarding or watching over it. Although it was also dangerous, it did not mean that death was certain.
As for the restricted area ... I'm not you. If I go there, I'll definitely die. There's no way I can get past it. "
Fang ping stared at him for a long time, then said,"So that's how it is! "I was wondering why you kept insisting on going to the precinct. You came to Tiannan catacombs probably because these high-ranks have left and there's a big battle going on. You think your chance has come, don't you?"
In the Tiannan catacombs, a high-ranked battle was inevitable. Fang ping and the rest could guess that most of the high-ranked powerhouses would come to the Tiannan city.
And this was also Qin Fengqing's chance.
Otherwise, with high-ranked martial artists everywhere, it would be very difficult for him to travel a distance of a few thousand miles.
As he said this, Fang ping suddenly said,"you're thinking too simply. If the precinct really has countless benefits, would the catacombs just stand by and do nothing?" "The catacombs powerhouses are fools. If they won't go and get it themselves, why would they leave it for you?
You're definitely lacking some important information. If you go, you'll probably just be courting death. "
Qin Fengqing said indifferently,"I'm a rank-5 martial artist. It's the same whether I'm going to the precinct or the capital to die." Even going to those small subsidiary cities was usually sending themselves to their deaths.
I'll die no matter where I go, so I might as well go to a place with more benefits and die. If I don't die, then I'll make a big profit. "
"Then why did you ask me to go?"
Fang Ping's gaze was unfriendly. 'You're asking for death, and you're asking for me?
Qin Fengqing coughed drily. He saw Fang ping staring at him ... After a while, he said,"That ... Really, I think you're very lucky. You won't die. With you as my amulet, I don't think I'll die. You're just a lucky charm, and I feel much more at ease with you around. "
"Cough, cough, cough!"
At the side, Wang Jinyang and Li Hansong could not help but cough lightly.
These words ... Made a lot of sense.
In fact, they felt the same way.
Fang ping was indeed a lucky charm. He would not die no matter how much he courted death. Going down to the catacombs with Fang ping ... Was actually a relatively safe thing.
