Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 173 Jonathan's Bizarre Adventure
Zhang Jie asked, "What other clever ideas do you have?"

Everyone also looked at Chu Xuan expectantly.

Everyone recognized Chu Xuan's wisdom. If anyone could break the impasse, in their opinion, it was Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and sneered, "A brilliant plan? There's no such thing. Reality isn't the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. There's no such thing as a brilliant plan that can break the deadlock with just one trick. Especially when the power gap is too huge, all I can do is plan the battlefield from a military perspective."

Everyone was a little disappointed.

Spells that can summon wind and rain, hundreds of thousands of lives, and an unknown number of powerful monsters. How can you win just by planning the battlefield?
Chu Xuan didn't care about what others thought and asked Wen Lie, "Besides, Wen Lie, do you have anything else to say?"

"Zheng Zha was captured by Dracula, but it's not a big problem. I threatened Dracula with Mina. Not only will Zheng Zha be fine, but he'll become our insider. Dracula is very powerful. Even if I try my best, I can only kill him ten times. The only way to defeat him is to lure him out of Demon Castle. This problem is not a big deal either. I exposed his feelings for Mina, and he will definitely come to London to take Mina away. Then we have to force him out of the Dead River..."

This is a bit of a big problem.

"Dracula must come to London alone to be forced out of the dead river. If he brings a group of dark troops with him, the difficulty of forcing him out of the dead river will increase dramatically."

Chu Xuan denied it, "This isn't difficult. If Dracula had normal intelligence, he wouldn't have sent his army to attack London so openly. As long as he still cared about Mina..."

After a brief thought, Chu Xuan continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you are being monitored by Dracula."

Wen Lie turned his head and looked around.

Not surprisingly, his eyes detected the aura of divinity and demoniac.

Just two miles away on the hillside, an inhuman aura lingered, although no human figures were seen.

"It's like the Grim Reaper is watching me."

Possessing both divinity and demonic qualities, when talking about Castlevania, the character that best fits this description is the Grim Reaper.

Chu Xuan continued, "For Mina's safety, Dracula will probably take her away in a more covert way. My suggestion is that you stay in Transylvania and create the illusion that you want to sneak into Devil's Castle and rescue Zheng Zha to confuse Dracula. This way, there's a high probability that Dracula will only bring a few helpers and travel to London in a low-key manner."

Qi Teng rubbed his hands and said uneasily, "Even if we only bring a few helpers, can we really win? Without Wen Lie and Zheng Zha, it's already difficult for us to fight Dracula's helpers. Does that mean that we have to ask Wen Lie to come back to help after Dracula sets off? But even with Wen Lie, we can't stop Dracula, and if Wen Lie can come back, Dracula's army can still come to London."

Chu Xuan glanced at Qi Tengyi strangely and said calmly, "You seem to have made a mistake. From the beginning, I never said we would definitely win."

Luo Gandao asked in a panic, "Wait, can't we win?"

Chu Xuan shook his head and said calmly, "Whether we can win or not, we have to fight to know. I just proposed a plan with the best chance of victory."

Dracula must be far away from Castlevania, and even from Transylvania, before Team Middle-earth has a chance to kill him.

As long as he stays away from Castlevania, Dracula will lose a lot of troops.

As long as Dracula stays away from Transylvania and destroys the soil of his hometown, his magical power will be greatly reduced.

At this point, London, which has been set up with a large number of traps, has become the best battlefield.

Chu Xuan said: "In short, we will contain Dracula in London, and you should also try your best to contain Dracula's army in Transylvania and destroy Demon City."

Wen Lie put down the communicator and showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Pin Dracula's army to Transylvania? And destroy Alcatraz?

Chu Xuan said it lightly. In order to increase the power to fight against Dracula and protect London, he did not plan to let Van Helsing and other characters come to Transylvania.

In other words, he has to destroy Demon Castle alone!
Destroying Castlevania is no easier than killing Dracula.

According to the monster setting of "Castlevania", even the demons of the demon world are in Castlevania, and there is suspected to be a passage connecting to the demon world in Castlevania.

Destroying Castlevania is equivalent to confronting a world full of monsters head-on.

Wen Lie couldn't help but grumble, "Triggering the Castlevania plot in Dracula is like stepping on a turtle and getting a main quest item."

Complaining was of no use, so Wen Lie immediately began to think about how to inherit the Belmont family's mission and tear down Castlevania.

Gradually, an idea emerged from his mind.

However, compared to that, it would be better to rescue Jonathan first.

Before leaving Demon City, Zheng Lan used mental scanning and mind chains to provide Jonathan's location to Wen Lie.

Jonathan was very lucky. When Wen Lie was fighting Dracula, he didn't pay any attention to him. However, he did not die in the aftermath of the battle, but escaped from the castle instead.

However, although he did not die in the aftermath of the battle, it does not mean that he was not affected by the aftermath. The shock wave blew him away and he fell into the river from a height of more than ten meters.

Wen Lie calculated and determined Jonathan's current location, and immediately went over.

It only took Wen Lie more than half an hour to find him.

When Jonathan was found, his injuries were so serious that there would be no point in finding him a few minutes later.

"The god Anubis."

"Yes!"

The god Anubis quickly completed the healing spell.

Thanks to the magic, Jonathan was out of danger within a dozen seconds.

"Where am I?"

After a long time, Jonathan woke up from his coma. He opened his eyes, his eyes were confused.

Feeling the severe pain in his body and the feeling of being wet all over, Jonathan quickly woke up with an ecstatic look on his face.

Seeing the sky without a ceiling, Jonathan shouted excitedly: "I escaped! I escaped!"

He supported himself on the ground with his arms, straightened his body, and looked around. Although it was still a desolate mountain road and the sky was unusually dark, the gloomy environment created an extremely depressing atmosphere, but in Jonathan's eyes, everything was so beautiful.

"Jonathan Harker, you seem to be happy too soon."

A calm voice came, startling Jonathan. It was only then that he noticed that there were other people around.

A tablecloth was spread on an unusually flat rock, and a strong and handsome man was sitting on it with his legs crossed. He held a box of drink with a strawberry pattern in his right hand and a piece of cream cake in his left hand, looking like he was having a meal.

His leisurely movements made Jonathan think this was a restaurant.

Jonathan asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

Wen Lie placed the cream bread and strawberry milk on the tablecloth, then he jumped up from the ground, leaped to a height of five or six meters, and landed in front of Jonathan.

"I didn't expect you to escape and not die in Dracula's castle!"

Wen Lie poked Jonathan's lung with a finger. Jonathan's eyes bulged and he couldn't help but open his mouth, like a fish left on the beach and unable to return to the water in time.

"Yes, exhale all the air from your lungs, not even a drop left."

Wen Lie withdrew his arm, turned around and walked back to the flat rock dining table.

"You'll be unable to breathe for a moment, but don't worry."

Jonathan clutched his abdomen, knelt on the ground exhausted, opened his mouth wide and tried to breathe, but it was extremely difficult. After a long while, Jonathan finally regained the ability to breathe.

"What is this? What's happening to my body... my bones..."

Jonathan felt his pain disappear.

Being hit, falling from a great height, and drifting with the current, the pain sustained in the process disappeared as if by magic.

Jonathan looked at Wen Lie in shock: "Unbelievable, you...what on earth did you do? Who are you?"

Wen Lie took a deep sip of the strawberry milk and flattened the box.

He raised his head and said slowly, "JO, ask the questions one by one. It's not what I did, but your breathing that eliminated the pain."

Jonathan asked excitedly: "Why are you doing this to me? Why do you know my name? Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"JO, didn't I tell you? Ask the questions one by one, and I will show you the answers. Follow me, and after you know who I am, your destiny will change again."

Wen Lie threw the box away, stood up and walked towards the river.

Jonathan hurried after him.

Wen Lie released ripples from his feet, sensing the surrounding life reactions, and said to Jonathan, "I just pressed your diaphragm with my fingers, allowing you to use a special breathing method."

Jonathan walked behind Wen Lie and asked in confusion, "Special breathing method?"

"Let me show you the energy generated by breathing."

Wen Lie walked towards the river, stepped on the surface with his feet, and created circles of ripples.

Jonathan's eyes widened in shock.

"What are those ripples? Why can I stand on the water? This is so abnormal!"

My feet stepped on the river surface, but they didn't sink!
Wen Lie walked on the water and came to a rock protruding from the water.

A frog was stimulated by the ripples and jumped onto the rock.

Wen Lie took a deep breath and raised his fist.

"What I am going to show you now is the same energy that just helped you eliminate the pain!"

Before he finished speaking, Wen Lie's fist had already hit the frog with a ferocious momentum, as if he was attacking some big devil.

Jonathan couldn't help but take a few steps back, for he was afraid that the frog's internal organs and blood would splash on him.

However, when Wen Lie's fist hit the frog, nothing happened to the frog, but the rock underneath was shattered into powder.

Jonathan cried out in astonishment: "Frog! Is Frog all right?"

Wen Lie walked on the water and headed towards the shore.

"This is ripple qigong. I generate energy through breathing. My ripple energy transformed the frog's flesh into ripples and conducted them out, shattering the rock. JO, I know about your relationship with Dracula. Dracula imprisoned you in his castle in order to obtain your fiancée."

Jonathan's face turned pale.

"What did you say? Dracula?"

Fear and anger rose in Jonathan's heart, and he clenched his fists, his anger at his fiancée being watched burning in his chest.

He had noticed before that Dracula's eyes looked strange when he looked at Mina's photo, and his behavior of asking him to tell Mina that he was safe was also very suspicious.

As expected, he fell in love with his fiancée?
Wen Lie asked Jonathan, "Dracula is not human, you should have noticed it?"

Jonathan nodded.

There's no way humans can crawl on walls or keep three monsters that eat babies.

Wen Lie explained to Jonathan, "Dracula is a vampire who feeds on humans. A hundred years ago, he led an army of demons to destroy human cities. He has done this many times in history, and each time, vampire hunters have defeated him. However, he is immortal darkness. No matter how he is defeated, he will be resurrected again after a hundred years. If no one can stop him, he will lead the demons to destroy humanity."

Jonathan's face turned grim.

He never imagined that he would be implicated in an event concerning the survival of mankind.

Wen Lie said: "Jonathan, you are destined to be an enemy of Dracula, unless you are willing to give up your fiancée and hand her over to someone else."

"hateful!"

Jonathan's fist slammed into the tree trunk next to him, and his eyes kept changing.

Soon, his eyes became firm.

Wen Lie looked at the dry tree in surprise.

The trees that had long been dry were slowly sprouting new branches.

"The ripple energy that healed his injuries still remains, giving the withered trees new life?"

Wen Lie knew that Jonathan’s talent was not bad.

The protagonist is one thing. In the movie, he was oppressed by three witches for a long time, but he was still able to escape from the castle.

It can be seen from that plot that Jonathan is at the top level in terms of both physical fitness and willpower.

What's more, Arthur Holmt, Quincy Morris, Jack Sheward, and Abraham Van Helsing have all become fierce men who have killed their way through the Death River.

Although Jonathan, the protagonist, was not mentioned by Acardo in Inferno, Jonathan also joined in the hunt for Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula. He may not have the strength, but his potential is not bad.

Jonathan steeled his resolve, leaned down to Wen Lie, and said loudly, "Coach! I want to learn Ripple!"

There is nothing wrong with being warm and fierce.

After all, he was here to recruit men. And Jonathan alone was far from enough.

Near the mountain where Demon Castle is located, Wen Lie began to train Jonathan. He not only trained Jonathan in the power of ripple qigong, but his more important task was to restrain and monitor Dracula.

Every day from early morning to dusk is Wen Lie's time to train Jonathan.

Once night falls, Wen Lie will go to Demon Castle. He will not enter the city, but will just walk around Demon Castle quietly.

Although he couldn't contact Zheng Lan inside the city from outside, all he had to do was let Dracula know that he had not left and had been keeping an eye on Devil's Castle.

Death never realized that he had been discovered by Wen Lie, and he faithfully reported Wen Lie's behavior to Dracula.

After Dracula learned what Wen Lie had done, he couldn't help but smile.

"He is indeed a descendant of the Belmont family. Although he speaks cruelly, he is not the type to hurt innocent people casually."
