Chapter 402: Five Elements Escape Technique

There was a fierce battle at the foot of the mountain for several years. Although Zhang Chen did not see it with his own eyes, he knew that the situation at the foot of the mountain seemed not good based on the decreasing number of figures in the mountain.

The blood fountain in the crystal core rolled and created waves. An obscure and gloomy air filled the air between heaven and earth. Zhang Chen seemed to be able to smell the bloody smell even when he was standing in the deep mountains and forests.

However, all this had nothing to do with Zhang Chen. Because his cultivation was too low, he could not even enter the eyes of the master. Instead, he quietly hid in the mountains to escape the disaster without having to go out into the world.

"In recent years, I have been studying the Five Elements Escape Technique day and night, and now I seem to have made some progress in the Water Escape Technique. The Five Elements Escape Technique is a whole. If I get started with the Water Escape Technique, it should be reliable to add some points to the other escape techniques." Zhang Chen was thinking about the escape technique.

For him, the art of escape is the most important means. No matter how dangerous the situation is, if he has a skill of escape, his hope of escaping is always greater than that of ordinary people.

Zhang Chen put his hands in his sleeves, looking into the distance with a cautious look in his eyes. He turned around and returned to his house, where he saw a desk with a basin on it, which was filled with clear water.

Zhang Chen looked at the basin of clear water, and the next moment he turned into a drop of water, fell into the basin, and merged with the clear water in the basin.

The drop of water that Zhang Chen turned into merged with the entire water flow, and there was no discernible difference. At this time, Zhang Chen's soul turned into a small drop of water and merged with the basin, constantly sensing the changes in the water vapor in the basin and the rhythm of the water flow.

After several years of studying the Five Elements Escape Technique and feeling the rhythm of water, Zhang Chen felt that he had mastered the laws of water. Today he formally tried to practice the Water Escape Technique to see if he could master it.

Zhang Chen's magic power was running in his body. He silently recited spells in his heart and urged the magic power silently. He saw the energy of the drop of water he turned into began to change, emitting waves, causing the clear water in the basin to ripple continuously. Then the next moment, the drop of water that Zhang Chen turned into actually disappeared out of thin air and merged into the entire basin in a very unique way.

"It's done!"

At this moment, an idea flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, and he had mastered the water escape technique.

Zhang Chen only felt that he seemed to have turned into an inexplicable energy that could quickly shuttle through the water and reach any corner of the water flow.

However, the water escape technique has too many limitations. It can only be used in places with water. Once it leaves the water, it becomes a useless magical power.

Then the next moment Zhang Chen turned into mist again, floated in the void for a while, and then fell to the ground again, revealing his body.

Zhang Chen looked at the Gold Finger page, and sure enough, he saw that the Gold Finger page had already included the Five Elements Escape Technique:
[17th Skill: Water Escape Technique (0\10000000)]

[Note 1: You can quickly shuttle through the water, but once the water is attacked, your escape technique will be interrupted and your original form will be revealed.]

"Ten million experience points? What a joke!!! Isn't this a ridiculous price?" Zhang Chen looked at the number on the Gold Finger page, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Wait, something's wrong! Something's very wrong! Water escape technique has no levels?" Zhang Chen stared at the Golden Finger page carefully with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. This was the first time Zhang Chen saw an escape technique that had no levels but could be upgraded.

Fortunately, he had picked up 10 million experience points at the place where the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror fell. After a little hesitation, he chose to add points directly, wanting to see what changes would occur after adding points to the Water Escape Technique. With a thought in Zhang Chen's mind, 10 million experience points evaporated directly, and then the Gold Finger screen changed again:
[17 skills: Water, Wood Release Technique (0\10000000)]

Then a warm current flowed out from the golden finger page and poured into Zhang Chen's soul. At this time, Zhang Chen had inexplicably mastered the Wood Release Technique. He just recited the mantra in his heart and disappeared in the house the next moment.

The house Zhang Chen lives in is built with trees, so of course he can perform wood escape techniques.

Zhang Chen could feel that he seemed to have abandoned the constraints of his physical body and turned into a stream of energy that wandered among the trees and around the house. As long as there was wood, he could wander around freely.

You should know that the entire Wuzhuang Temple is a huge palace built entirely of wood. The houses are connected to each other according to the terrain, and there are few places in the entire Wuzhuang Temple that cannot be reached.

"I understand. As long as I keep upgrading, I can master all escape techniques smoothly. Right now I have only mastered water escape techniques and wood escape techniques, as well as gold escape techniques, fire escape techniques, and earth escape techniques. I will probably need another 30 million experience points before I can fully master the five elements escape techniques." Zhang Chen was secretly happy.

If he could master the Five Elements Escape Technique, he could go to most places in the world. "I need points now, lots and lots of points." Zhang Chen appeared in the room, thinking about where to get the 30 million points. The most important thing was to master the Earth Escape Technique. The Earth Escape Technique was the most important because there was land everywhere and the Earth Escape Technique could be used anywhere. There was no limit to its use.

"Where should I go to collect points?" Zhang Chen began to think.

If you want to collect points, you need to look for mysteries, such as the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth. Originally, the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth could drop points continuously, but since Zhang Chen sacrificed and refined the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth, it has no longer dropped points.

"According to common sense, those ten ancestors' deaths should have resulted in some skills or points dropping, but why is there nothing?" Zhang Chen remembered the first time he fought with the fox spirit. As long as he hit the fox spirit, the fox spirit would drop points. But why did the ancestors drop nothing this time?

"If there is only one difference, it is probably that I used the light of the righteous god back then, and now I use the formation. The difference between the two is that one is my power, and the other is a borrowed external force." Zhang Chen scratched his head and felt that this was not quite right. The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation also belonged to his power. This explanation did not make sense. There must be some key factor that he overlooked.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Chen came up with a very reasonable answer in his mind: "That is, although the ancestors have achieved success in cultivation, they have not mastered the mysteries. The fox spirit did obtain the mysteries, such as the mystery of transformation from nothingness."

After all, this is probably the only reliable explanation.

"But I wasn't the one who killed the Bashen back then, so didn't I drop some skills? Could it be that the Bashen is a pure-blooded innate creature, while the ancestors are just acquired creatures with innate divine blood?" All kinds of thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, with a hint of thought in his eyes.

"Forget it, I won't worry about it for now. I still need to think of a way to find a new source of skill points, so that I can master all the Five Elements Escape Techniques as soon as possible. I wonder if there are any natural treasures in the temple that I can swallow!" Thinking of this, Zhang Chen suddenly had an inspiration in his mind, and he looked into his own swallowing space, which was storing a lot of mysterious energy. He only needed to keep a small part to preserve the Golden Wind Flower, and it would be fine to swallow all the rest of the energy.

"I'm such a clever kid!"

Zhang Chen secretly praised himself. Although his devouring space could not digest that huge amount of energy, his devouring skills were good enough.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen said nothing and threw the innate mosquito's mouthparts directly into the devouring space, and then a large number of points were continuously transformed.

Even if he had the innate mosquito mouthparts, it would take time for Zhang Chen to devour and transform it, so Zhang Chen was not in a hurry, but waited slowly.

Zhang Chen was happy that he had mastered the art of escape. He opened the door and walked out of the yard, and saw Xu Erniu sitting in the yard eating grapes.

"You have such a leisurely life these days." Zhang Chen looked at Xu Erniu's posture, slowly walked forward, picked up the grape and took a bite.

"Zhang Chen, our Wuzhuang Temple is in big trouble. I heard that a large part of the territory of Wuzhuang Temple has been lost. Dozens of brothers have died down there. More than 20 countries under our Wuzhuang Temple have been destroyed." Xu Erniu lowered her voice and said, "I think we can't save Wuzhuang Temple. We need to make plans early."

Zhang Chen was surprised when he heard this: "Where did you hear this news?"

"The plants and trees told me!" Xu Erniu said, "Every plant and tree in this world will pass on messages to me from afar, but the spirituality of plants and trees is limited, and the messages they pass on are also vague, all intermittent fragments, and I need to deduce and organize them myself, which is really troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen looked at Xu Erniu in astonishment. He never expected that this girl had such means.

"Your method is really incredible. The battlefield is probably thousands of miles away from here. You can actually transmit messages through plants and trees. It's too sensational." Zhang Chen's voice was full of horror. He was really scared.

"You don't understand, I've recently gained a lot of power, I can communicate with plants and trees, and even with the help of the connection between plants and trees, I can barely see some blurry images from the front line." Xu Erniu said proudly, "I heard that all the big monsters of the monster race have come out in full force, and they seem to want to fight with my Wuzhuang Temple to decide who is better, and who lives or dies. We still need to make plans early, if Wuzhuang Temple is occupied by those beasts in the future, I'm afraid we two will be doomed."

At this point, Xu Erniu's eyes rolled around a few times, and she leaned forward and lowered her voice and said, "Anyway, we have learned real skills now, so why not escape from the mountain as soon as possible to avoid being implicated by the robbery. With our skills, we can survive anywhere. At worst, we can sell fruits at the foot of the mountain and have enough food and clothing."

Zhang Chen looked at Xu Erniu in surprise: "You don't want to see your father anymore?"
