Infinite Fighting

Chapter 38 Leaving
After lying on the shore for a while, Zhang Ji recovered a little, stood up and looked forward.

Under the moonlight, the gurgling stream has now turned into a raging river.

This treasure spot is surprisingly connected to Lake Gerst. Once the moonlight cup is taken away, the mechanism will be triggered and the lake water will rush out through the cave.

I don’t know who designed all this and what the purpose was.

If it were a game, all of this could be blamed on the stupid game designer.

But in the real world, there must be a reasonable explanation.

Zhang Ji felt that this might be a test.

The boss who put down the wine glass probably felt a little unhappy about giving it to others for free, so he made it a little more difficult.

Only those who are not killed by the gushing flood are qualified to become the owner of the Moonlight Cup.

This kind of thing was not uncommon in ancient times in this world context.

And it’s not just Dongji Country, there are many in other countries as well.

After Zhang Ji had a good rest, he opened his backpack and checked the contents.

He had prepared a full set of field tools in advance, but most of these things were unusable at this moment.

It wasn't damaged by water, but it was damaged by a collision.

These things are waterproof, but not impact-proof!

The Moonlight Cup, however, was intact. This thing looked like it was made of gold, but it was much harder than gold. Zhang Ji had accidentally bumped it several times before, and he was hurt, but the cup remained unchanged.

Zhang Ji's body was completely wet at this time, but he was not panicked at all.

But Zhang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he saw the air and the moisture around him in his perception.

With a thought, a large amount of moisture in the clothes began to gather rapidly, and finally condensed into a ball and fell into his palm.

Zhang Ji flicked his hand and threw the water ball out.

The water ball automatically dispersed after flying three meters away.

This is the maximum distance that Zhang Ji can currently control.

His mental strength is limited, and the techniques of the [Liushui School] often require extremely high mental strength. Only with strong mental strength can one sense, utilize and drive the power of nature.

"I've finally gotten the hang of it. I can initially sense and control the flow of water. If I give it some more time, I should be able to get started!" Zhang Ji murmured.

Zhang Ji had been looking at the visualization picture of "Waterfall" for such a long time, but he still couldn't get the edge of it.

It was not until now that I was able to truly step into the threshold of the [Liushui School].

He felt that this was related to his introduction to the "True Qi Nourishing Spirit Technique".

The mental power attribute has reached the standard for practicing this skill.

However, for now, he can only roughly drive a little bit of water flow. He is not yet able to transform a large amount of water flow into an attacking means such as a high-speed impact metal blade like a water monster.

But in terms of life, it helps a lot.

Zhang Ji doesn’t have any good terminal equipment on him now, and has temporarily lost contact with the outside world.

He planned to rest here for a day and then go outside to find a way out tomorrow.

After finding a flat place, Zhang Ji picked up some firewood from the surrounding area.

The firewood was a little damp, but Zhang Ji easily removed the moisture.

Then he started a fire using a half-baked stick drill.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t bring the centipede meat with me, otherwise I might be able to roast two ounces of it and eat it now.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. The reality and the game are so different. What if it is poisonous?
Zhang Ji took out the Moonlight Cup and examined it carefully. The workmanship of this thing was indeed exquisite, especially the two blue gems inlaid on it. Zhang Ji felt that this should be the key to its ability to absorb moonlight and turn into the essence of the moon.

At this moment, Zhang Ji suddenly felt the light dim. It turned out that the bright moonlight shining down from above his head was attracted by the moonlight cup, gathered into a beam, and entered the cup.

Zhang Ji stood up and raised the moonlight cup above his head.

The gem in the moonlight cup shines brightly under the moonlight.

Zhang Ji discovered that a large portion of the moonlight within a radius of about five meters was affected by the cup and was attracted towards it.

After holding the cup for several minutes, a dark cloud passed over Zhang Ji's head, and the moonlight cup suddenly dimmed.

Zhang Ji put the cup in front of his eyes and looked at it. He found that there was not a drop of moon essence in it, so it became slightly moist.

You can only lick it slightly to moisten your tongue.

However, it also slightly relieved Zhang Ji's current fatigue.

He had traveled all the way out of the valley by floating on the water, and his energy was greatly exhausted. If he had not drunk half a cup of moon essence beforehand, he doubted whether he could hold on.

After moving the cup away from his lips with a feeling of unsatisfied desire, Zhang Ji muttered, "I'll get a drone later and throw this thing above the clouds. It should be less affected by the weather."

The drone technology of Dongji Country is very good, and it can easily reach the stratosphere.

Zhang Ji thought about it and found it very feasible.

At that time, we will definitely not be affected by the dark clouds anymore.

Achieving the freedom of the essence of the moon may still be a little bit away, but at least I don’t have to rely on God for my livelihood.

The time came to the next morning.

As the sun rose, Zhang Ji, who had already woken up for a while, pointed the moonlight cup in his hand towards the sunlight and tried it.

According to what he knew, moonlight was just a reflection of sunlight, so the moonlight cup should theoretically be able to absorb sunlight.

However, the Moonlight Cup remained indifferent.

"Is the moon in this world different?"

Zhang Ji couldn't understand, but he had no choice but to give up.

He carefully placed the moonlight cup close to his body, then put on his backpack and started off.

Without navigation, and with the lake water washing away his way last night, he could only vaguely remember a direction.

The only thing Zhang Ji was thankful for now was that Zhou Hao had brought him a few bags of compressed dry food, otherwise he would have to survive in the wilderness.

Although he was not unable to defeat those beasts, his food without salt or seasoning would probably be difficult to swallow.

Suddenly, Zhang Ji saw smoke rising in the distance. He quickly quickened his pace, and soon he saw the owner of the smoke.

They were a couple who were traveling nearby by car. They had made a fire and were cooking in the wild.

Seeing Zhang Ji coming, the man and the woman looked at each other, then took the initiative to step forward and contact Zhang Ji.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Ji. I am here for tourism. I encountered a sudden flood last night and all my belongings were damaged. Can I borrow my phone, please?" Zhang Ji said with a fist salute.

"No problem, Xiaoxue, give me the phone." said the man.

"okay!"

The woman quickly took out her cell phone from the tent and handed it to the man.

The man handed the phone to Zhang Ji, who took it and thanked him.

Then Zhang Ji called Wuxingmen and found Zhou Hao.

After explaining what happened, Zhou Hao told Zhang Ji not to wander around and to wait where he was. Someone would come to pick him up in two hours at most.

After ending the call, Zhang Ji handed the phone to the man and said, "Thank you for your help!"

"It's just a small matter. When we're out and about, we should help each other." The man took the phone and said to Zhang Ji, "My name is Yu Han, and this is my wife, Wang Xue. If you don't mind, let's eat together."

"That's annoying."

Zhang Ji had no intention of refusing. From yesterday till now, he had only eaten some dry food, and now he wanted to have some hot food.

Yu Han brought cutlery to Zhang Ji and served him a bowl of the food in the pot, which was fish soup. Zhang Ji took a small sip and found it very delicious.

"How is it?" Yu Han asked.

"Very good." Zhang Ji praised.

"It's mainly because the fish are good. I just caught them from Lake Gust last night." Yu Han said with a smile.

"Brother Yu, are you here specifically to fish?" Zhang Ji asked.

"I guess so. I like to travel around. It's hard not to get bored if I stay in one environment for a long time." Yu Han explained, and then asked Zhang Ji, "What about you, little brother Zhang? At your age, are you on a school trip?"

"I guess so." Zhang Ji said, "I've been studying for a long time, and I've been so quiet that I want to move around, so I came out for a walk alone."

“Your generation of young people are really courageous. When I was your age, I would never dare to go out alone. But the fact that society has become more convenient is also a factor,” Yu Han said with emotion.

Zhang Ji nodded in agreement.

Although Dongji Country has had some shortcomings in recent years, it has indeed done well in people's livelihood and has been making progress.

The two chatted and talked about all sorts of things. From time to time, Yu Han's wife Wang Xue would join in, and time passed quickly.

Suddenly, Zhang Ji heard the sound of a propeller.

I stood up and looked into the distance, and sure enough, I saw the helicopter flying over.

Yu Han's cell phone rang. After answering it, he handed it to Zhang Ji.

"Zhang Zhenchuan, I am Zhang Xiangyu, the core disciple of the Five Forms Sect. Are you okay?" Zhang Xiangyu asked.

"I'm fine. Sorry for bothering you with this trip." Zhang Ji said.

"It's not a problem. It's my duty to work for the sect." Zhang Xiangyu said politely.

Zhang Ji hung up the phone, handed the phone to Yu Han and said, "Thank you very much, I will give you the thank you money later."

Yu Han was a little shocked at this time, and was stunned by the helicopter that Zhang Ji called.

This place is different from other places. Coming here from such a long distance, you may not be able to get by without hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The helicopter dropped a rope ladder nearby. Zhang Ji walked quickly over, jumped five or six meters high, grabbed the rope ladder two or three times, and climbed into the cabin.

In the helicopter, he met his core disciple Zhang Xiangyu who came to pick him up.

This is a middle-aged man.

Like most of the inner disciples of the Five Forms Sect, they are the kind of people who are unable to make further progress in martial arts and can only focus on the affairs of the Five Forms Sect.

However, being able to become the core proves that he is at least a professional sixth dan and has a net worth of around 10 million locally.

"Zhang Zhenchuan." Zhang Xiangyu saluted to Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji nodded, said politely, and then said: "Contact the phone number just now and transfer 200,000 yuan to them. I will transfer it to you later."

Two hundred thousand was not a lot for Zhang Ji. The pocket money Wuxingmen gave him every month was two million, and he had no place to spend it.

Most of the time, the bill is paid directly through the sect.

Zhang Xiangyu did not ask any further questions, nor did he politely say that Zhang Ji did not need to transfer the money. Instead, he simply nodded in agreement.

Be efficient when you need to be efficient, and be worldly-wise when you need to be worldly-wise. You should have different attitudes towards different people.

When he saw Zhang Ji, he already knew what attitude he should have.

If he didn't have this much foresight, he wouldn't have reached his current position.

At the same time, watch the helicopter go away.

Wang Xue, who was beside Yu Han, suddenly said, "Hubby, he is Zhang Ji!!!"

"I know, what's wrong?" Yu Han asked puzzledly.

"The champion of this year's Dongji National Martial Arts Conference! Didn't we watch his video before?" Wang Xue said.

Yu Han finally reacted and immediately felt incredible.

These people who have nothing to do with each other could actually meet by coincidence in such a place.

Just as he was thinking about it, his phone suddenly rang.

The phone number showed to be a corporate number. After he answered the call, the person on the other end identified himself and asked him to report a bank card account, saying it was a thank-you fee.

After he tentatively registered an account, within a moment, he received a text message stating that the money had arrived.

Yu Han opened his phone and saw the few zeros, which made him raise his eyebrows.

Even though he himself was a high-income earner, the amount of this unexpected wealth still made him a little moved.

"I just treated him to a bowl of fish soup, which was more than a year's salary. If I had known earlier, I would have treated him a few more bowls." Yu Han said with emotion.
