Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar - Chapter 278 - 136: Strange Xiaopang Cat, God-Defying Jianbing
Wu Jianqing shouted, “Violent Dragon, calm down! If we charge straight into their main base, that’s basically asking for death, isn’t it? They have many A+ level powerhouses!”
Though the Divine Dragon Tribe has been somewhat declining over the past few centuries, their ancestors were genuinely prosperous and well-informed about both new humans and the overall continent situation.
Even though the inheritance of Divine Protection Continent has skipped generations, each tribe can barely maintain the crippled cultivation system relying on the Clan’s Sacred Artifact, they are still using the old “Celestial,” “Earth,” “Mystic,” “Yellow” levels.
Corresponding to players’ “S,” “A,” “B,” “C” levels.
As for the ordinary people here…
Lu Wenwu and his team felt it before; even women, children, and the elderly are at D Tier level.
Since the Old Dragon King went all in with a big gamble year ago, which wiped out the top combat power and top resources of the Divine Protection Continent, the overall level of the continent has shown a continuous downward trend over the past ten thousand years.
Not only does this reflect on the Ancient Remnants of the Divine Protection Continent finding cultivation increasingly difficult, making it hard for top powerhouses to emerge.
It is also the case for exotic beasts and new humans.
The once flourishing state where Celestial level was as common as dogs and Earth-level as prevalent has now vanished, and there is even doubt if there are any Celestial-level powerhouses left on the continent.
At least according to Peak of Earth-level Long Wensheng, within tens of thousands of miles nearby, whether Ancient Remnants, new humans, or exotic beasts, the strongest is at his level.
So actually, Lu Wenwu’s idea wasn’t a rash decision.
At least it was a conclusion reached after a few minutes of heated reflection.
Self vs. Long Wensheng, overwhelming victory.
Long Wensheng = Top combat power of the continent.
Self = Overwhelming victory over top combat power of the continent.
Self = A little Invincible.
The logic is quite clear!
If killing them could drop attribute points, then could I take this as an opportunity to reap a wave?
So, after confirming his idea wasn’t problematic, Lu Wenwu confidently replied, “If they come, we’ll fight; if we can’t win, we’ll run!”
“When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy camp, I disturb; when the enemy is weary, I strike; when the enemy retreats, I chase. These are the sixteen-character secret sayings of strategy, mastering them allows for free maneuvering on the battlefield.”
Xu Changjiang pensively noted, “But over in New City, there are at least a dozen A+ level new humans. Can we really get away?”
“Yes.”
Lu Wenwu and the pretentious AC Little Milk Cow simultaneously nodded.
Wu Jianqing thought it over and slowly nodded, “Seems we can!”
Xu Changjiang: “?????”
Alright, alright, turns out I’m the useless one.
“So, what’s the plan? Fight them?” Lu Wenwu flashed a warm smile, “We can’t just sit here waiting to die, and you don’t want to settle with such a lame hidden task and a side quest, right?”
The pretentious AC Little Milk Cow was the first to respond, “Fight them!”
Wu Jianqing burst with Sword Intent, “Fight them!”
“Damn, what a bunch of monsters I’ve gathered. Not satisfied with a hidden task and a side quest…” Xu Changjiang sighed deeply, “Alright, I’ll risk it all with you, let’s fight them!”
“Alright, alright, unanimously agreed.” Lu Wenwu laughed increasingly happily, “I’ll cook up the lamb head we slaughtered earlier and make some other dishes, let’s have a hearty meal today, and tomorrow we set off!”
…
Lu Wenwu is the type to act immediately upon deciding.
If not for considering the physical strength and mental state of the teammates, he might have already led Mao Mao to head towards New City to fight them the night he decided.
The next day, Long Yuanhai was shocked to learn of their plan to head towards New City.
This nearly five-hundred-year-old gentleman almost lost his breath, trembling and terrified, immediately asking if it was due to poor hospitality from the Divine Dragon Tribe that made the Young Master angry, etc.
Lu Wenwu strongly opposed being called Young Master.
It sounded too much like a cannon fodder role in a fantasy novel.
But no one else cared besides him, so Lu Wenwu’s protest was ineffective.
The three teammates were busy explaining to the alarmed Divine Dragon Race that they were not dissatisfied with them…
An hour later, the team heading for New City gained Long Yuanhai as a guide.
Lu Wenwu initially wanted to refuse.
Fewer people are more convenient for guerrilla warfare, it’s not like they want to pull together a gang for a decisive battle; having more people means more to take care of.
But Xu Changjiang persuaded him with reason and emotion, suggesting Long Yuanhai could offer great convenience to the group, so he reluctantly agreed.
The group marched towards the Northern Central Realm, traversing the mountains full of valleys and rocky ridges.
Originally Lu Wenwu thought they would all fly there together, simple, convenient, and fast.
But Long Yuanhai’s strong dissuasion stopped him.
According to him, the battles among the Divine Spirits thousands of years ago shattered the skies, earth, and seas, causing the whole world to change.
The Sea of Absurdity and Chaotic Mysterious Realm emerged during that time.
The continent’s center was disconnected from the entire land, becoming like an island in a lake.
Additionally, the sky has become chaotic ever since, even Celestial level powerhouses face inexplicable death while flying.
Over time, the sky became a taboo for all creatures.
Even the flying species of exotic beasts were forced to live on the ground or outright went extinct.
Lu Wenwu looked up at the sky.
Though it’s clearly daylight, the sky was like shattered glass, with black patches suddenly flashing, plunging the entire earth into a night-like darkness.
