Chapter 176 Melting Rock Layer

Zhang Chen felt that it was unlikely that he could convince this kid to cooperate with him actively.

Moreover, he felt that if he released the ban on this kid, who possessed some unreasonable things like the Heart of a Qilin, it would be troublesome if he ran away.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t cooperate. There are ways to not cooperate.

This kid possesses mysterious powers such as the Heart of a Kirin. Once he suffers a fatal attack, he will burst into scorching fire and melt the magma. At worst, I won't stab him in the fatal place later and will just give him a few more stabs.

"I actually have another idea. If this guy is stabbed in the throat by me, can he be considered dead? Can I mark him?" Thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind.

Chen Xu went to look for dragon veins and find the location of the main tomb chamber, while Zhang Chen and Zhong Xiang waited there.

In the evening, Chen Xu returned: "Now the magnetic field between heaven and earth is in disorder. It is almost impossible to find the location of the main tomb chamber. Unless the power of the magnetic field between heaven and earth stops, I can search for dragons and determine the veins again."

"How long will it take for Feng Shui to stabilize?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Before, I thought it would only take ten days or half a month, but now it seems it will take at least three months." Chen Xu said.

"No! I don't have that long to wait. And you can see, now that the Feng Shui energy has been leaked, I don't know how many old monsters will covet it secretly. We don't have much time left." Zhang Chen rejected Chen Xu's words.

Although he has the skill of seducing souls, that is only what he says when facing an old guy whose life is about to end. If he is blocked by those beings in the Yang God realm, he will have no chance of winning at all.

"Then we can only try to enter from the entrance of the tomb!" Chen Xu said, "But you have also seen the entrance of the tomb. According to my calculations, that is the entrance, but who knew that it was all bluestone. I really can't find a second entrance..."

"We'll know if that's the entrance if we try. Don't we have a ready-made tool?" Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang.

Zhong Xiang ignored him!
"Do you know the secret technique to crack the Feng Shui pattern?" Zhang Chen asked.

To enter the tomb from the entrance, there were countless traps and mechanisms that one would have to go through. Zhang Chen felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it. He had witnessed with his own eyes the means by which the god had changed the world in the past. If his small body were to fall into them, he would probably be dead in the first place.

But he couldn't wait for a month for all the old guys to arrive.

"You think too highly of me." Chen Xu smiled bitterly helplessly.

Zhang Chen had no other choice after hearing this, so he had to bring up Nan Qilin and said to Chen Xu: "At this point, we can only start from the entrance. Let's start tonight and try to dig directly into the tomb of the imperial daughter."

Zhang Chenti grabbed Nan Qilin's shoulders and carried him on his back like a pig, which made Nan Qilin so angry that tears started flowing again. Unfortunately, he was immobilized at this time and could not speak.

He had wanted to remove the spell that had fixed his body and let him walk on his own, but now he changed his mind. What if this guy left a mark along the way? It would be hard to guard against! It would be better to work harder, which would save him a lot of trouble.

"Your Majesty, why don't you hand him over to me? I will carry him for you." Chen Xu looked at the tearful Nan Qilin, especially the other party's eyes staring at him. His heart trembled suddenly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Can you carry him?" Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu sideways.

Chen Xu took a look at Nan Qilin's body shape. Nan Qilin was still a teenager, about 1.6 meters tall. Although he was thin, he was definitely not light.

It was difficult for him to climb the mountain by himself, let alone carrying someone?
But looking at the look in Nan Qilin Zhong Xiang's eyes that was staring at him, did he dare to say that he couldn't carry it?
"I can carry it! Your Majesty saved my life, and I have no way to repay you. How can you ask Your Majesty to do the job of carrying people? Just leave it to me." Chen Xu groaned in his heart, gritted his teeth and replied.

Zhang Chen patted Zhong Xiang's butt upon hearing this and said, "I say, you bunch of dog nobles really deserve to die. Look at what you have done to the common people."

Zhang Chen's eyes showed a trace of emotion. He couldn't change the world as it was. People were in the midst of a rolling red tide. Unless there were great men like Ma and Mao, even if you knew the drawbacks of the times, you couldn't make any changes. The power of an individual was nothing more than a tiny wave in front of the torrent of the times, and it would be destroyed in an instant.

People are in the tide of the times. Even if hundreds of millions of people are awakened, it will still be of no avail.

In the tide of the times, ordinary people have no other options except shouting and cursing incompetence.

Everyone says that people in ancient times did not know how to resist under the rule of the old bureaucracy, but if there were no great men to lead, who could have blazed a new trail?
It is never ordinary people who overthrow an era, but rather one force overthrowing another force.

Zhang Chen patted Zhong Xiang's butt. He himself was not a great man, he was just an ordinary person and could not change the trend of the times. All he could do was to make his life bearable and not be bullied.

It seems that he has already embarked on this path.

"Master Chen Xu, do you think these nobles should die?" Zhang Chen walked in front and asked.

Chen Xu smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, you are joking. The noble lords are born nobles, born noble, and should rule everything in this world. We, the lowly people, should always be lowly people. This is fate! If you want to blame someone, you can only blame us for not being born into a good family."

Zhang Chen paused when he heard that and turned to look at Chen Xu. This guy is hopeless, his slave character is in his bones.

Or maybe it means that the people of this era are beyond salvation!

“If you want to change the minds of this group of people, you have to use the strategy of keeping them ignorant and suppress their fear of royal power with their faith.” When Zhang Chen thought of this, he suddenly felt that this was what Huang Tiandao was doing now.
"This Huang Tiandao is quite interesting." Zhang Chen muttered to himself, but he did not have the urge to make decisions for the people of the world. It was already difficult for him to stay out of it, and his small shoulders could not bear such great power.

But as Zhang Chen walked along the mountain road, he felt heavy in his heart for some reason, as if a huge rock was pressing on him.

Arriving at the pit, Zhang Chen looked towards it and was about to throw Zhong Xiang into it, but was stopped by Chen Xu: "Sir, are you going to bury the nobleman alive? This is unacceptable! Absolutely not! If the Zhong family investigates, this matter will definitely not be concealed, and by then our nine clans will not be enough to kill."

Zhang Chen glanced at Chen Xu and ignored his words. He directly threw Zhong Xiang into the pit, splashing up clouds of dust.

"Sir, please let him go, I beg you." Seeing Zhang Chen throwing Zhong Xiang into the pit, Chen Xu was so scared that he fell to his knees with pleading eyes.

He can't afford to offend Zhang Chen, and he can't afford to offend Zhong Xiang even more.

"Look at you, you coward." Zhang Chen scolded angrily, "Just watching from the sidelines, how could I bury him alive? I just want to ask this noble nobleman to do something for us."

"Not buried alive? That's good! That's good!" Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, and patted his chest with lingering fear.

Zhang Chen came into the pit, took out a torch and shone it towards Zhong Xiang. He saw that Zhong Xiang was covered in dust and his hair was disheveled. The jade crown had fallen somewhere and there were two tear marks mixed with mud on his cheeks, which was quite funny.

"You're a grown man, why are you crying all the time?" Zhang Chen took out a pickaxe and dug a hole to prevent fire in the wall next to him. Of course, the pickaxe was brought by the vixen.

After Zhang Chen finished digging the cave to prevent fire, he looked at Zhong Xiang, who was crying like rain:

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's useless even if you cry. You have to be a tool today." Zhang Chen hid the pickaxe head, then came in front of Zhong Xiang and checked and reinforced his immobilization talisman and suppression character again.

The immobilization talisman is used to immobilize his body, making him unable to move. The suppression character is used to suppress all his strength, making him unable to attack the seals of the immobilization talisman and the suppression character, or at least delay the speed of attacking the seals.

“This guy has the Heart of the Qilin protecting him. Once he encounters a life-and-death crisis, the mystery in his body will surely burst out to protect him.” Zhang Chen took out a dagger from his waist and stood opposite Zhong Xiang. He was a little hesitant. After all, the space here was narrow. What if the fire erupted by Zhong Xiang was too strong and burned him?
"Let's upgrade the skill of the Fire-Repelling Talisman first. It's always better to be prepared." Zhang Chen thought about it and felt that this was still a little unsafe. He was afraid that Zhong Xiang's flame would be like his own Light of the Righteous God. Its power had already reached its peak, and the increase in level would only strengthen its application means.

Zhang Chen looked at the Gold Finger page:
[12th skill (first level): Fire-proof Talisman (0/4000)]

[Completely immune to first-level flames, with a slight chance of reducing burns from higher-level flames]

【Points: 119400】

"upgrade!"

I still have 100,000 points left. When should I use them if I don’t use them now?
[12th skill (second level): Fire-proof Talisman (0/8000)]

[Completely immune to second-level flames, can slightly reduce the burns caused by high-level flames]

"The points required are not too many, but they just increase in multiples?" Zhang Chen showed a hint of surprise. You know, this is an entry-level skill.

However, considering that the Fire-Repelling Talisman was just an ordinary auxiliary skill that had no other function other than warding off fire, he could understand why the points required were so few.

[12th skill (Level 0): Fire-proof Talisman (16000/)]

[12th skill (Level 0): Fire-proof Talisman (32000/)]

[12th skill (fifth level): Fire-proof Talisman (0/64000)]

[Completely immune to fifth-level flames, reducing burns from high-level flames by 10%]

【Points: 27400】

"Can it only reduce the power of fifth-order flames? I don't know what order Zhong Xiang's flame is, but it is definitely not an ordinary flame."

Zhang Chen pondered in his heart.

It was a bit of a waste to spend tens of thousands of points to upgrade the Fire-Proofing Talisman, but when he thought of the Heart of the Qilin, Zhang Chen thought it was better not to waste it.

The power of a flame that can instantly melt stone into molten lava can be imagined.

Moreover, Qilin is a creature as famous as the real dragon. Zhang Chen felt that this guy's flame was at least at the ninth level.

After the upgrade, Zhang Chen felt unsafe again, so he pumped out the groundwater again and filled the fire-proof house he had built with water. Then, looking at Zhong Xiang's pitiful appearance, his eyes finally fell on Zhong Xiang's butt.

He didn't dare to stab Zhong Xiang's throat. What if the threat of death was too great, causing the eruption of fire to be too strong and break through his immobilization talisman and suppression talisman? Wouldn't he be playing with fire and getting burned?

If you only stab the opponent's butt, there will not be such a strong danger, and the power of the fire erupted by the opponent will not be that strong.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen stabbed Zhong Xiang's butt with the dagger in his hand without thinking.

Seeing Zhang Chen stabbing his butt, Zhong Xiang's eyes were bulging with anger, and he wished he could kill someone.

Then Zhang Chen stabbed directly with his knife. In an instant, the dagger melted into liquid iron, and Zhong Xiang's body was surrounded by a fiery red, and a ball of flame emerged.

It was strange that the flames flickered all over the bell elephant and the rocks melted into magma in an instant, but Zhang Chen's two talismans actually resisted the burning of the flames. Although the power of the immobilization talisman and the suppression talisman was eroded by the burning of the flames, the speed was extremely slow, as if to prove the saying that real gold is not afraid of fire: "The gold talisman can at least last thirty breaths in the flames, and the silver talisman can last twenty breaths."

"It's worthy of being the gold and silver talismans." Zhang Chen praised inwardly.

"You are dead, untouchable! When I have refined your abilities, I will cut you into pieces! I will pull out your tendons, peel off your skin, and burn you to death! I will grind your bones and scatter your ashes!" As the power of the immobilization talisman was invaded, Zhong Xiang finally regained the strength to speak, and now he angrily scolded Zhang Chen in a crying voice.

"Haha, you idiot, since I dare to take action, how could I not be prepared? Do you think I only have this one talisman?" Zhang Chen smiled coldly.

As he spoke, Zhang Chen took out the gold talisman and the silver talisman, ready to replace them at any time.

As for how to replace it?

He had already made preparations. As he thought about it, water surged around his body, wrapped him up and turned into ice.

The law of causality of Zhang Chen's water control technique: all water within two meters can be turned into ice.

As the flames burned, a stream of scorching hot air burst out in the narrow space. Fortunately, Zhang Chen was prepared and activated the fire-proof talisman. At the same time, the water flow wrapped around it and turned it into a series of ice barriers.

The temperature of the flame was indeed very high. The ice in front of Zhang Chen melted and evaporated at a speed visible to the naked eye. The terrifying temperature even penetrated the ice and invaded Zhang Chen's body, but was blocked by the fire-proof talisman.

Although the opponent's flames were scorching enough to burn mountains and boil seas, they could not withstand Zhang Chen's incredible water control skills, right?
The ice melted and evaporated into water vapor, but was instantly captured by Zhang Chen and turned into ice again.

Ignoring the laws of heat and energy, it turned directly into ice.

"This flame has definitely reached the tenth level or above. Thanks to my unreasonable water control technique and my upgraded fire-proof talisman, otherwise I would have been in trouble today."

Zhang Chen was secretly shocked.

The ice melted very quickly, or more precisely, it vaporized directly. The heat from the flames radiated onto the ice, causing it to vaporize directly. Thanks to Zhang Chen's ability to restrain the water vapor and gather it back together, it condensed into ice again.

But even so, there was still a terrifying heat that shone through the ice onto Zhang Chen's body, causing Zhang Chen to be enveloped in a layer of red light and then melted by the fire-proof talisman.

"I only stimulated a tiny bit of the power of the fire on Zhong Xiang's body. Fortunately, I stabbed his buttocks. If I had stabbed his throat, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to cope with the power that would be unleashed." Zhang Chen felt very lucky.
