Leaving the city limits, all that was visible was a boundless forest.
After half a day, they arrived at a mountain fortress. Lu Wen said: "Direction, distance are correct, let's go down and ask if this is the Zhe Long Fortress."
The Flying Centipede lowered its altitude, directly appearing at the entrance of the fortress.
This era was not safe. The fortress had people observing and warning. As soon as the Flying Centipede appeared, they saw it, but they were so shocked that they froze in place.
Lu Wen and the others came out from the passenger area, arriving at the top of the centipede. They were spotted by the fortress's observer, who finally came back to his senses. He immediately rang the alarm, and the crisp "clang, clang, clang" sound spread throughout the fortress.
Lu Wen didn't rush, waiting for the leader of the fortress to come out.
It was already late, and they planned to rest at the fortress.
The alarm bell rang, and soon, fortress residents armed with weapons gathered on the fortress walls. Seeing the Flying Centipede, these residents were also stunned in disbelief.
They then recovered their senses and looked at Lu Wen with fear. To control such a large and fierce centipede, Lu Wen didn't seem like a good person at all.
Seeing these fearful glances, Lu Wen felt helpless. That's the way it was with esoteric techniques, using them made people feel evil and fearful.
The person in charge of the fortress arrived soon, having already learned about the visitors at the entrance. This was a powerful being that descended from the sky and could fly with passengers.
Moreover, this powerful being was still waiting at the entrance, not attacking the fortress directly, proving that they were here with good intentions.
Upon arriving at the entrance, the leader of the fortress immediately saw the imposing and fierce Flying Centipede. After a moment of astonishment, he shouted loudly: "Put down your weapons, open the fortress gate, and follow me to welcome our distinguished guests!"
He had no doubt about the strength of this enormous centipede. Could the fortress gate withstand a single charge from it?
Lu Wen and the others saw the fortress gate open, and a group of people quickly approached.
"The leader of this fortress is a sensible man. Let's go down too, and we'll rest here tonight," Lu Wen said, leading everyone off the Flying Centipede.
He waved his hand, sending the Flying Centipede out to play for a while, instantly scouting the surrounding area.
"Welcome, esteemed guests, to our humble Zhe Long Fortress. I am the clan leader. Our fortress is simple, I hope you will forgive us," the fortress clan leader apologized immediately.
Hearing the clan leader's words, Lu Wen and the others breathed a sigh of relief. At least they were in the right direction, and the Zhe Long Mountain King Xian Tomb was nearby.
Lu Wen and the others were not bullies, so they acted very kindly and wanted to stay at the fortress for the night.
The clan leader inwardly groaned, but on his face, he was full of joy as he agreed, welcoming Lu Wen and the others into the best house in the fortress.
After some small talk, a very lavish dinner was quickly arranged.
In this day and age, being able to eat your fill every day was enough to make many people satisfied. The clan leader had put a lot of effort into this table of food.
Still, the clan leader said: "Our hospitality is lacking, please forgive us, esteemed guests."
There were some fortress people serving the dishes. They looked at the dishes on the table with longing.
But the powerful image of the Flying Centipede made them afraid to act presumptuously in front of Lu Wen and the others.
Lu Wen saw the food on the table and knew that the clan leader had done his best to accommodate them.
Although there were many missing spices, many of the ingredients were excellent, and Lu Wen didn't intend to eat for free.
With a thought, he took out a few Essence Blood Pills and presented them to the clan leader. Lu Wen said: "These are not magical pills, but if someone is severely injured and their body is weak, taking one can replenish it. For those whose physical fitness has reached a bottleneck, taking one and exercising can break through."
Those around heard this and looked at the pills with longing.
Not only those serving the dishes, but also Chen Yu Lou, Zhe Gu Shao, and the others.
The clan leader was even more conflicted. He wanted these pills badly. They could be used to add a few more strong individuals to the fortress and kept in reserve just in case.
But he was also afraid that this was a trap set by Lu Wen. He would take these pills and bring disaster to the fortress.
This wasn't the clan leader being paranoid, but Lu Wen was powerful, and the Flying Centipede's intimidation was considerable. The fortress was extremely weak in front of Lu Wen, so the clan leader had to be cautious.
Lu Wen also sensed the clan leader's concerns. He casually tossed the pills over: "Take them with peace of mind. These are nothing to me."
Bai He Zi, as Lu Wen's spokesperson at this stage, also comforted the clan leader a few words, allowing him to take the pills without worry.
Under his guidance, Lu Wen's women had learned multiple languages, which would be useful for their future world travels.
After dinner, they rested for the night, and the next day, Lu Wen and the others left early.
They rode the Flying Centipede, moving forward through the air. They didn't need to go through the winding, intricate underground river channels filled with traps.
From the sky, Lu Wen's super-vision directly saw the King Xian Tomb environment where super-energy was concentrated.
This was a little trick he had learned from the cultivation system, which could directly see the existence of super-energy.
That's why Lu Wen didn't care about Feng Shui techniques. In a world with super-energy, he could see Feng Shui treasure lands directly.
In a world without super-energy, even if he learned Feng Shui techniques, it would be completely useless to him.
Moreover, Feng Shui techniques, in the end, were a set of secular burial customs that had been established throughout history. This set of things was only useful in a specific region under a specific culture.
Feng Shui techniques would be completely useless in the tombs of Western countries.
Lu Wen and the others rode the Flying Centipede to the King Xian Tomb. Standing outside the tomb, Lu Wen sensed the countless tiny poisonous fungi and 蛊蟲 in the air in front of them.
Without a solution, ordinary people entering such an environment would inhale a few breaths and have the 蛊毒 penetrate their bones, leaving them beyond saving.
But it wasn't a threat to Lu Wen. He extended his life magnetic field, enveloping everyone, directly isolating the poisonous fungi and 蛊蟲. He led everyone into the King Xian Tomb's perimeter.
At the same time, Lu Wen was also thinking about how to deal with those monsters.
Those cocoons and gallnuts were of no value to him. However, those Huo Family Immortal Worms' powerful survival ability was quite good.
"Before dealing with King Xian, I need to obtain some body tissue from the Huo Family Immortal Worms and integrate their powerful traits to enhance my own survival ability," Lu Wen decided.
Staying alive was the prerequisite for everything. Death meant the end of everything.
The King Xian Tomb covered a vast area and was covered with a maze and thick fog. Those who entered without the means or ability to discern direction would be lost in the outer perimeter of the King Xian Tomb and die.
Lu Wen rode the Flying Centipede, flying through the air. Many of the King Xian's remaining 痋术 were useless against him.
He could also accurately judge his direction in the fog, moving straight towards the center of the King Xian Tomb.
Chen Yu Lou was full of admiration for Lu Wen's abilities. Such a dangerous place full of crises. If the Xielei Sect were to come here, they would lose half of their people to the outer perimeter poisonous miasma and 蛊蟲 without knowing what was going on.
Zhe Gu Shao was also very excited. He was just one step away from the 雮塵珠, and the Zaglama clan's thousand-year wish was about to be realized.
