Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

After trying various methods without success in uncovering the secrets of the cave, Chief Hesei had no choice but to resort to his trump card—

Regardless of.

At this moment, the edge of the abyss was right in front of us.

General Hongyan looked at the explosives piled up around the cave and secretly marveled at Chief Hese's extravagance.

He looked around and found that the detonation arrays were not only diverse in type, but also made of extremely luxurious materials.

Some formations even use "blood and tears ore" as filling material, which is estimated to weigh at least 100 kilograms!

The value of this thing transcends price; the key is that the mineral deposits have long been exhausted, and every gram used is one less gram available—where did this come from?

Has the Hercyn discovered a brand new Blood and Tears mine?

Or did they upgrade their smelting technology to extract blood tear stone from "waste ore"?

Sensing General Red Rock's confusion, Chief Hese spoke up, "In the underground palace we entered, there is a Blood and Tears Mine. The entire tribe has been mining day and night, which is why we have so many materials... The only pity is that the conditions for entering the Mysterious Underground City are too harsh, everyone's lifespan is too short, and there are too many things to do, otherwise we would have finished long ago."

During these three months, the Herse family racked their brains to plan.

They divided the people into groups: some were dedicated to mining, some to transportation, and others to orchestrate the destruction of the central island.

After more than 100 days of continuous effort, this "final moment" has finally arrived!

"Currently, we have the capability to destroy the Central Island. The only thing we need to be wary of is whether the Celestials will resurrect after the Central Island is destroyed."

"Just in case, I want to set up the 'Four Phases Sealing Array'."

"As a descendant of the 'God of Fire and Bronze,' you should understand..."

Chief Hese looked at General Red Rock.

He looked excited.

"Back then, the four gods joined forces to seal the celestial being in the golden jar! Now it's our turn. We, the descendants with divine blood, should reclaim the glory of our ancestors and once again stuff the celestial being into the jar and sink it to the bottom of the sea! Only in this way can we restore our former glory and sit on the throne in the sky once more!"

General Hongyan smiled and nodded, saying, "It is my duty to restore the glory of our ancestors. However... what about the descendants of the Earth God and the Wind God? The Four Symbols Seal cannot be accomplished by the two of us alone."

"It's here!"

Chief Hesse pointed, and General Red Rock turned to look—

He saw that two people were already waiting on one side.

One is young, and the other is old.

……

……

"Wake up, wake up!"

A splitting headache.

Zuo Chang tried to breathe, but his mouth was filled with sand as soon as he opened it. He twisted his body and felt hot all over.

And it seemed like someone was slapping him in the face.

"What the hell is going on? Hey you, give him a Torrent Burial."

boom!

A large flow of water rushed towards him, and Zuo Chang shuddered, opening his eyes.

What comes into view is a resolute face.

The man in front of him was fully armed, with his hair and beard neatly trimmed, looking quite imposing.

He looked at Zuo Chang with disdain in his eyes: "Awake?"

Zuo Chang frowned: "Who are you?"

"I……"

The resolute man's face showed a hint of impatience as he cursed, "This lowly commoner! Are you out of your mind with the heat? You don't even recognize me!"

Having said that, he ignored Zuo Chang and shouted, "Line up! Line up! These petty bandits are not worth mentioning. We must fulfill His Majesty's expectations. Now, listen to my command—set off immediately!"

The people around immediately regrouped and prepared to set off.

"??"

Without a doubt, Zuo Chang was completely bewildered.

The scene before him was far removed from his memory. He didn't know where he was or what kind of army was standing beside him.

Didn't the potion-making witch say she was going to send him to "Central Island"?

Is this desert the central island?

Zuo Chang stood up, utterly bewildered. He tried to communicate with the war demon, but found that he could no longer sense its presence.

He then attempted to use the "Moonlight Guidance" technique—

The list of summonable followers is empty.

Zuo Chang's heart immediately tightened. He thought to himself, "Have I been tricked? The potion witch has ill intentions?"

Only then did Zuo Chang realize that something was amiss.

He raised the back of his hand, looking at his dark skin, not understanding why his hands had become so rough!

Do not……

It's not just the hands.

He drew his sword with a backhand motion, and through the gleaming blade, he saw a completely unfamiliar face.

Zuo Chang no longer looked like the previous man; he looked like a weathered Arab!

What on earth is this...

What is the situation?

"Adventurer, there's no need to draw your sword; you're out of danger."

An adjutant wearing half-body armor stepped forward.

With an air of arrogance, he continued, "Keep leading the way! Which direction is the 'entrance to the ruins' you mentioned?"

Zuo Chang discovered that the man was speaking a language he had never encountered before.

But strangely enough, he could understand it.

"W-what ruins?"

Zuo Chang cautiously opened his mouth, and then he discovered that he could communicate with others in this language he had never used before.

The adjutant frowned: "Did you hit your head on a rock and go crazy? It was because of the treasure you presented that we came here on His Majesty's orders to take this risk! Ah, damn it... where are your companions? Where have they gone?"

Zuo Chang blinked, looking very innocent.

The next instant, a summoning panel appeared before his eyes—

Please select the teammate you wish to summon: 0/1

Ok?

Is this the interface for selecting your summoned followers in the game?

Zuo Chang's heart immediately calmed down.

Chapter 274 Distance 1355

Chapter 274 Distance

Very similar, extremely similar.

In the game "Become Zero", there are some side quests that Zuo Chang needs to complete.

More specifically—

Zuo Chang can choose his attendants to play a role and enter the story to act out the plot.

The interface for selecting followers back then was very similar to that now.

The list of available followers appears before you. From the weakest to the most powerful, they are all included.

Subconsciously, Zuo Chang moved his finger to Bai Lin's portrait. This Exemplary Knight was the most capable fighter among Zuo Chang's most trusted retainers, and the most trusted fighter among all of them. Since he could only log in with one retainer, choosing him was the most reliable option.

but--

At the last moment, Zuo Chang hesitated.

He thought to himself, "The situation is unclear right now, and we can't be sure if this is a 'side story,' can we? Besides, even if it is, it's hard to predict what will happen if we fail..."

Zuo Chang has already been infected; whatever happens, he can only accept his bad luck.

The man, Bai Lin, was perfectly healthy; he should not suffer this undeserved calamity.

Zuo Chang's finger moved to the image of the War Demon: "Let's keep the War Demon. It's just as powerful in combat, has a lot of experience in prison, and most importantly, it's immortal and indestructible. No matter what, it retains the possibility of seeing the light of day again. It's very suitable."

Selected!

The next instant, a small black and white spotted dog suddenly appeared at Zuo Chang's feet.

The adjutant was slightly taken aback. He looked at the puppy, his pupils dilating in shock!

Zuo Chang clearly saw the astonishment on his face slowly fade, replaced by an expression of taking it all for granted.

He seems to have accepted the premise that Zuo Chang's companion is a dog.

"Isn't this...isn't it here?"

The adjutant bent down, meeting the war demon's dog-like eyes: "Hey! I'm asking you, where is the entrance to the ruins?"

"?"

Even the devil of war felt a genuine sense of doubt at this moment.

Regardless of its sudden summoning and lack of understanding of its current situation, what is this human in front of it, and what is he doing...?

Ask a dog for directions?

The war demon looked up at the Arab beside him: "Excuse me, sir, could you perhaps be—the Heavenly King? I can sense a connection between us, a connection that should only exist between me and the Heavenly King General."
