Jin Wu swallowed hard, his voice filled with undisguised shock and awe:
"You...you are the...Master Tian Shu from Longhu Mountain?!"
Zhang Tianyi ignored his fuss.
He casually kicked the charred stone at his feet and found a cleaner spot to sit down.
"You're not so bad, kid. Now that you're awake, tell me what's going on."
Zhang Tianyi pointed to the gray-clad foreigner in the distance who had been electrocuted:
"These foreign trash, instead of sleeping in the middle of the night, they insist on setting fire to the mountain to ambush you. What kind of treasure are you carrying?"
Jinwu took a deep breath as he looked at Zhang Tianyi's casual attitude.
He knew that in the presence of this powerful being, any lies or concealment would be meaningless.
Moreover, the other party had just saved his life.
Jinwu gritted his teeth and carefully pulled open the blood-stained inner layer of his underwear with his hand that had just regained feeling.
From inside, they pulled out an object tightly wrapped in a waterproof tarpaulin.
He peeled back the layers of oilcloth, revealing a half-roll of a tattered scroll made of some unknown material.
"Master, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace."
Jinwu held the half-scroll of the incomplete map in both hands and solemnly handed it to Zhang Tianyi.
"These foreigners came specifically for this. Now, I'm giving it to you."
Zhang Tianyi glanced down at it.
The fragment of the drawing was covered with distorted, even illogical, lines and bizarre patterns, resembling the graffiti of a mentally ill person.
"What kind of mess is this drawing?"
Zhang Tianyi raised an eyebrow, not rushing to take it: "Is this thing worth all that trouble for those foreigners?"
Jinwu gave a bitter laugh, his eyes revealing a hint of lingering fear and dejection.
“This is real, this is no ordinary graffiti.”
"This thing was made by my grandfather in a dilapidated mountain god temple."
"That dilapidated temple is said to have been a place where a man named Gu Qiting once stayed."
Upon hearing the name "Gu Jiting".
Zhang Tianyi, who had been sitting lazily, instantly straightened up.
A master of the Great Luo Cave Observation?!
I witnessed this amazing skill and its stealthy methods a while ago, and today I actually came across related clues?
"Yo ho."
A strong interest flashed in Zhang Tianyi's eyes.
Without any hesitation, he reached out and snatched the half-scroll of the incomplete map.
"Then I'll have to take a good look at what this old fellow has drawn on it, whether it contains some kind of secret technique..."
As Zhang Tianyi spoke, he began to completely unfold the tattered map, focusing his gaze on the distorted lines.
"It's real! Don't look!!!"
Jinwu was terrified when he saw Zhang Tianyi's actions.
He scrambled over and grabbed Zhang Tianyi's wrist.
"Don't stare at this picture too intently!"
Jinwu was so anxious that he was covered in sweat, and his voice became distorted:
"This picture is incredibly eerie! It can directly damage a person's mind! Staring at it for too long will completely ruin your brain!"
Zhang Tianyi paused.
He turned his head and frowned slightly when he saw Jin Wu's ghostly expression.
“My grandfather was also a sorcerer who devoted his life to studying Qimen Dunjia.”
Jinwu's eyes were red, and his voice was filled with deep sorrow:
“He passed away last month, and I found this tattered map while sorting through his belongings.”
“My grandfather wrote in his diary that he originally wanted to use this picture to learn that unique skill, but... he only looked at it a few more times and his mind went haywire. He was often insane for the rest of his life.”
"Before I could even burn this unlucky thing, these foreigners somehow got information and chased me all the way to the capital like mad dogs."
After listening to Jinwu's hurried explanation.
Zhang Tianyi's wrist suddenly twitched.
He glanced at the tattered, incomplete map in his hand, as if he were holding a hot iron.
Holy crap!
Zhang Tianyi swore and quickly closed the half-scroll of the incomplete map.
He even wrapped himself up in the oilcloth in three layers, looking quite disgusted.
"Why didn't you say so sooner?!"
Zhang Tianyi glared at Jin Wu with lingering fear.
If it were just my curiosity that got the better of me and I glanced at it a couple more times...
If I were to fall victim to this and turn into a drooling madman, what would become of my reputation as a peerless master?!
Although the possibility is very small.
Without saying a word, Zhang Tianyi stuffed the package into the bottom of his personal food pouch.
"Let Xiao Wang or Xiao Zhuge worry about this. They're both smart enough that even if they were crazy, they wouldn't be able to figure it out." Zhang Tianyi irresponsibly decided the fate of the incomplete map in his mind.
After putting his things away, Zhang Tianyi took a closer look at the man in front of him.
"Your name is Jinwu, right?"
Zhang Tianyi stroked his chin, a hint of admiration appearing in his eyes:
"Since your grandfather was a sorcerer, how come you don't even know how to set up a Qimen Dunjia divination?"
"However, to be able to hold out for so long against those five foreigners wielding alchemical weapons with just a broken knife, you've certainly built a solid foundation."
“Those foreign trash weren’t just random cats and dogs on the street.”
Jinwu was a little embarrassed by the praise.
He scratched his head, a simple, honest smile appearing on his rugged face.
"You flatter me, Master. I lost both my parents when I was young, and my second uncle raised me in the deep mountains and forests."
"My second uncle said I don't have the brains to be a sorcerer, but my body is the foundation of a naturally gifted person, and I'm very resilient."
"So from a young age, I was made to run around with wild boars in the mountains and learn some farming skills. I couldn't understand the things on this incomplete map, so I never learned them."
"A naturally gifted individual? Grown up in the mountains?"
Zhang Tianyi nodded.
No wonder this kid has such a wild, tenacious spirit.
There are no fancy spells or techniques; they fight entirely based on instinctive combat instincts.
This straightforward approach suited Zhang Tianyi's taste quite well.
The two were sitting on the ruins chatting.
"Shh...shh..."
A series of crisp footsteps, the sound of military boots crunching on ashes, came from the thick smoke not far away.
Several blinding beams of tactical flashlight swept over and struck the two men.
"This is...it's practically a human demolition machine..."
A chorus of exclamations filled with astonishment rang out.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Si, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, led a dozen fully armed company special agents.
He emerged from the ruins.
Chapter 242 The Innate Mighty Man Jinwu, the All-Knowing Cleanup Special!
Xu Si looked around at the core area of the chemical plant, which had been completely leveled.
Those huge storage tanks and crisscrossing steel pipes have now all been turned into piles of twisted scrap metal that are indistinguishable from the real thing.
In some places, the cement floor even has a high-temperature, vitrified sheen.
"San'er, you said..."
Xu Si took the cigarette out of his mouth, flicked off the ash, and looked at him with a complicated expression.
"How much power must it have taken to suppress a toxic gas fire that was on the verge of triggering a chain of explosions into this state?"
"This is even more effective than the most advanced fire extinguishing bombs."
Xu San looked at the white-clad figure sitting on the ruins, chatting leisurely with someone.
His tone revealed a deep sense of helplessness and awe.
"Scientific instruments can't explain his power. Chairman Zhao is right, we have no choice but to treat this guy with respect."
The two men, leading the special operations team, quickly approached Zhang Tianyi and Jin Wu.
"Sir, you've worked so hard so late at night."
Xu Siyi put on his signature roguish smile and greeted everyone from a distance.
He glanced quickly at the four deep pits on the ground.
His eye twitched involuntarily twice.
