934 Splltting Up (2/2)
The originally-bright pseudo Crown Prince Seal in the Ninth Prince's hand was now only giving a faint glow. This was because they just used the providence within the pseudo seal to enter the Imperial Tombs.
”…which means we have to split up,” Old Ying said in a solemn tone.
Everyone also guessed that this would happen because they could feel how important draconic providence was. Without draconic providence, they would be restrained by the pressure of the ancient dimension, which would reduce their battle-power.
Under the strong pressure of the ancient dimension, they couldn't even fly. Only Sacred Lords would be able to barely fly. However, if one had enough draconic providence, they could use it to resist the pressure of the ancient dimension and momentarily fly in the air.
”We have eight people, so splitting into three groups would be best. Zhao Feng, Shen Jizi, and I will all lead one or two people. Who do you all want to go with?” Old Ying scanned over the group and suggested.
Su Qingling, Jing Kai, and Shi Yulei all paused for a moment. They had no disagreements with Old Ying and Shen Jizi leading a group since they were both experienced elders. Old Ying specialized in tracking and sensing, so he could avoid danger, while Shen Jizi knew divination and could guess where danger and misfortune were.
But why was Zhao Feng a leader as well? Was it because he was a beast tamer and needed protection?
”I'll go with Old Ying.” Jing Kai immediately went to Old Ying's side. After witnessing the fights for the positions, Jing Kai felt that his strength was only average amongst the members specializing in battle.
Old Ying was a Quasi-Sacred Lord, and he was very experienced. Following him would mean he would be safe, and he would also be able to learn some things.
The others looked at the Ninth Prince, who was standing next to Old Ying. This meant that Old Ying's team already had three people total.
”I'll go with Shen Jizi,” Shi Yulei and Su Qingling said at the same time and immediately walked over to Shen Jizi.
”I don't need a doctor,” Zhao Feng immediately said. Zhou Su'er was the only one remaining, but she was completely useless to Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng's body was extremely sturdy, and he had the Water and Wood of Wind Lightning to heal himself and recover his True Yuan. He also had the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Hundred Origin Fruit Juice. A healer was the last thing he needed; any other member of the team would be more useful than Zhou Su'er.
”You…!” Zhou Su'er's face went red with embarrassment.
She had witnessed the exchange between Zhao Feng and the black-robed person a moment ago, so she was confident in Zhao Feng's strength and thought that it would be fine to be his partner. She didn't expect Zhao Feng to suddenly reject her.
”All of you can go. I will be going with Zhao Feng today,” Zhou Su'er's voice sounded.
Just because Zhao Feng didn't want a healer, did that mean he wouldn't get one? If she just followed what Zhao Feng said, wouldn't that be an even-greater loss of face than being rejected? Zhou Su'er didn't want Zhao Feng to do as he pleased, so she immediately walked up to him, as if saying that she was definitely going to go with him.
The other members looked at Zhao Feng and Zhou Su'er and felt somewhat embarrassed. Although they had a bad impression of Zhao Feng and didn't really like him, it wasn't really suitable for the beast tamer and the doctor, who both had low battle-power, to go together. The beasts within the Imperial Tombs had all bathed in ancient auras and draconic providence, making them extremely fierce and deadly.
Old Ying spoke just as they were pondering what to do, ”If that's the case, then let's take action. This is part of the map for the Imperial Tombs, as well as some information regarding the trial.”
Old Ying gave everyone a booklet containing information.
”En. Let's go.” Shen Jizi also gave a faint smile as he took the booklet and got ready to move.
Shi Yulei, Su Qingling, and Jing Kai all faltered for a moment. Old Ying and Shen Jizi, who were both rather experienced, seemed to approve of this unbalanced duo.
What was going on? Were Old Ying and Shen Jizi not worried that a team comprised of a beast tamer and a doctor would die here? However, since the two of them had no disagreements about it, they had nothing to say either, so they took the booklets and started to remember the information.
Old Ying and Shen Jizi led their groups and left.
Before the Ninth Prince left, he looked at Zhao Feng; ”Brother Zhao, with your display in the Divine Illusion Dimension, the Imperial Tombs won't be too difficult for you. You will definitely be able to protect elder sister Su'er.”
Zhao Feng rolled his eyes and started to think. Old Ying and Shen Jizi had most likely discussed this already and purposely gave the doctor to him.
Zhao Feng looked over the information and instantly understood. Doctors were basically useless in the early stages and would only come into play later.
There was a lot of information within the booklet, including which areas had dangerous beasts and which places had inheritances that no one had managed to obtain yet.
However, Zhao Feng first needed to confirm his location.
Teng!
Zhao Feng leapt into the air and landed on the peak of a nearby tree. After jumping into the air, Zhao Feng then rose another couple meters and gazed down with his God's Spiritual Eye to see everything within a couple dozen thousand miles. Zhao Feng even saw some other figures about ten thousand miles away.
Zhou Su'er was dazed as she looked at Zhao Feng, who was floating in midair.
”You can fly here!?” Zhou Su'er asked in shock.
Her Dragon Jade hadn't absorbed any draconic providence at all yet, and she couldn't resist the pressure of this dimension. She found it hard to even walk, but Zhao Feng seemed like he was still in their original dimension. He could easily jump around and float in the air. How did Zhao Feng do such a thing without any draconic providence?
Zhao Feng didn't reply to Zhou Su'er. He simply waved his left hand, and a giant Yao bird appeared and flew into the distance. This Yao bird was the one that usually protected the Ancient Dream Realm fruits, and it was now a late-stage King.
Since it was a being from the Ancient Dream Realm, it was completely unaffected by the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Imperial Tombs, and it could actually fly even faster here. The ancient and desolate aura coming from its body scared away all the nearby beasts flying in the air.
