Chapter 2285
Before he fell asleep, Zi Chen had a very new bedding on and under him, but when he woke up, he found that there was nothing on his body, only a light sand-like dust fell on his body.
His whole body was completely naked, and even the clothes on his body were gone.
He hurriedly took out new clothes from the space ring and put them on. After he got up, he saw that the luminous pearl on the table beside him yesterday was gone, and there was some gravel and dust there.
Next to the luminous pearl, the tableware that Zi Chen did not clean up yesterday and the food that he had not finished eating were all turned into gravel and dust.
Zi Chen felt the flow of time from the gravel and dust, as if these things had suddenly passed through thousands of years.
Obviously, all of this was not done by the old man, but by the environment here.
He looked not far away, and the tattered clothes that were sewn with many patches and did not fit very well were still there. He was deep in thought.
After that, he felt hunger, a kind of hunger that made his stomach rumble. He clearly ate something last night.
Moreover, he usually did not need to eat.
"You're awake."
Just when Zi Chen was puzzled, an old voice sounded from behind him. He saw the old man walk out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of black porridge like last night.
Putting the porridge on the table, the old man said, "You must be hungry. Drink this first, and then you can ask."
This time, Zi Chen did not refuse. He nodded, sat down, and began to eat the porridge in big mouthfuls.
This porridge did not seem to have any nutrition, and the taste was not very good, but it was filling. After a few mouthfuls, Zi Chen's previous hunger disappeared.
After finishing the porridge in the bowl in one breath, Zi Chen put down the bowl, thanked the old man, and asked, "May I ask, where is this place?"
"You came here by yourself, and you still don't know where this place is?" The old man looked at Zi Chen and said calmly.
"This is the deepest part of the Star Path, known as the most mysterious place on the Star Path?" Zi Chen was shocked.
"A powerful cultivator turned into a mortal. Is the mystery of this area not enough?"
"Isn't this a test?
As long as I complete the test, won't my energy be restored? "Zi Chen asked with his eyes wide open.
"That's true.
If this place is really a test, then this old man has been here for a long time. It seems that I have no hope of completing the test in my lifetime. "The old man shook his head and sighed.
"Since I can't complete the test, can't I leave?"
"Those who enter cannot leave. They will never be able to leave!"
The old man clearly didn't want to continue this topic. He said directly, "This is a new space, and it has its own order.
Most of the things in the outside world cannot withstand the erosion of time. Just like what you saw in the morning, they will turn into sand and disappear under time.
This world only recognizes what it recognizes. "
"What kind of world is this?" Zi Chen asked again.
Obviously, this question was the one that really hit the nail on the head. The old man said, "It is said that this is a world created by the strongest Protoss. It has its own order and rules."
"Is the strongest of the Shen Clan a Heavenly God?" Zi Chen was shocked.
The old man shook his head.
"If it's not a Celestial God, could it be an existence even stronger than a Celestial God?"
"That's just a rumor. I don't know either." The old man shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
"Has Old Mister been staying here all this time?
Then Old Mister, do you know where I can find a Holy Weapon?
I came here mainly for the Holy Weapon! "Zi Chen said.
The old man looked at Zi Chen with a strange look in his eyes. "No matter what your purpose is for coming here, the first thing you need to do is to survive and be self-reliant."
Zi Chen was puzzled.
"First, you need to rely on your own labor to obtain food to survive.
Right now, you are no different from a mortal. You need to eat every day. Food is the most basic thing. If you don't get food to replenish your strength, you will starve to death.
After that, you can build your own residence. It's not safe here at night. No one dares to spend the night outside.
Once you have food and a place to stay, you can think about the Holy Weapon.
Even if you meet the requirements and obtain a Holy Weapon, you can't leave. "
"Why?"
"Because none of the people who came here have ever walked out alive.
Not a single one! "
The old man waved his hand and said, "Even if I tell you this now, you won't understand. After you get used to this place, you will know more about it.
I can provide you with a place to stay for now. But you have to earn your own food. I don't keep idle people. "
"Old Mister, you said I'm a mortal. Are you from the life star?" Zi Chen was startled. He suddenly asked.
The old man looked at Zi Chen one more time, his face odd. "If I'm not from the life star, why would I care about you?
In this place, people are working hard to survive. Who has time to care about other people? "
The old man came from the life star. This surprised and delighted Zi Chen. According to Jia Tu and Huang Tu, this old man in front of him should be at least a Holy King Realm expert. He immediately bowed respectfully. "I'm Zi Chen. Nice to meet you, Precursor. May I know which planet you're from? Please tell me your name!"
"I've long forgotten my name. I only remember that my family name is Zhan Wu.
It's all in the past. No need to mention it. "The old man waved his hand.
"So you're from the Zhan Wu Family?
When I was in the Zhan Wu Continent, I met a friend from the Zhan Wu Family. "Zi Chen was a little surprised.
"Alright, we don't have much time. Today, I'll take you to familiarize with this place."
The old man stooped to pick up the pickaxe by the wall. He carried it on his back, turned around, and walked to the door. It seemed like he wasn't interested in Zi Chen's words.
He gently pulled the wooden door that Zi Chen had to use all of his strength to close the day before opened.
Zi Chen followed him, asking curiously. "Precursor, what should we do next?"
After knowing that the old man came from the life star, Zi Chen looked at the old man more warmly.
"First, we'll go to the mine. See if we can get some high-quality black iron."
While walking out of the village, Zi Chen met some other people. However, they didn't greet each other as if they were strangers.
Some of them were holding pickaxes, while others were holding sickles. They looked hurried.
Several miles away from the village, there were some mountains that weren't too high. The two of them walked one after the other.
"When you walk, watch your step. Be careful of the insects. The insects here are very poisonous. Once you're bitten, if you don't get treated in time, you won't be able to keep your life.
It's windy at night. In the wind, there are some ants and mosquitoes that can fly. They're very dangerous. Usually, if you meet them, you'll die! "
"Don't underestimate these insects. They're not ordinary insects. Before their names, there's a god. Divine Ants, Divine Mosquitoes, and so on. They have magical powers.
Since you're new here, you haven't adapted to the environment yet. If you get bitten, you'll die for sure because I don't have the antidote! "
Listening to the old man, Zi Chen looked around cautiously. At the same time, he was a little scared. "If it's so dangerous, why didn't you make any preparations?"
"Healing medicine is too expensive. I can't afford it.
Moreover, I'll be very careful. I won't let them come close, "said the old man leading the way.
"What if I get bitten?" Zi Chen asked cautiously.
"If that 'what if' happens, I'll have fifteen minutes to seek help. After fifteen minutes, if the antidote isn't cured, then there's no need to cure it."
"Ah?"
When Zi Chen heard this, he was shocked. They had already walked out of the village for more than a quarter of an hour. If what the old man said was true, then wouldn't it mean that if they were bitten, they would die? Even he would die.
"Three meters to your left, there's a green snake. If it sneaks up on you, it'll take your life immediately," said the old man without turning his head.
Zi Chen turned his head. Sure enough, under a green leaf, he found a very secretive green snake. The other party's eyes were fixed on him. The snake's body was curled up and its head was slightly raised, as if it could attack at any time.
Zi Chen could kill such a small thing with a thought in the outside world. But in this world, it could take his life.
It had to be said that this world was very mysterious.
After walking for a few miles, Zi Chen saw a mine. From the mine, there were clanging sounds from time to time. Someone was mining.
The old man took the lead and walked in.
The entrance of the mine was very small, but the space inside was very large. There was a large open space inside, and there were many stones on the ground.
During this period, there were also some small mines, and the clanging sounds came from these small mines.
"Be careful. In this mine, there's a kind of black snake that likes to hide in the gravel to sneak up on you."
He led Zi Chen to a small mine. The mine was blocked by three large stones, and it wasn't very tight. The old man pointed at the mine and said, "This is the mine we need to mine next. Move these waste stones away."
Zi Chen nodded and bent down to pick up the large stone. After exerting force, Zi Chen found that the large stone didn't move at all.
In the outside world, with Zi Chen's current strength, picking up a mountain was no problem.
But now, he couldn't even pick up a stone.
It was because this stone was too heavy. Just one stone weighed more than a mountain.
"Hurry up. If we don't get anything today, we'll have to starve." The old man urged.
"Ha!"
Zi Chen roared, and the veins on his arms bulged. He picked up the stone with difficulty and threw it to the side.
Zi Chen, who was sweating profusely, followed the old man into the slightly damp mine after throwing out the three stones.
After about a hundred meters, they reached the end of the mine. The old man began to work with a pickaxe.
Zi Chen, on the other hand, was in charge of transporting the useless rocks out of the mine and throwing them outside.
It had to be said that these waste stones were very heavy. Zi Chen's strength was quickly consumed.
At the same time, Zi Chen found that his physical strength was also increasing.
This speed was much faster than when he was in the outside world.
To be able to increase his physical strength so quickly, was this something special?
"Clang!"
At this moment, a clear sound accompanied by the old man's laughter rang out. Zi Chen took a few steps forward and looked forward.
