War Base.
After the battle, the base was bustling everywhere. Whether it was rebuilding or clearing monster carcasses, engineering machinery was at work all around.
Li Dawei personally sent off Yun He and Luo Feng, and the three of them walked side by side outside the base.
"How are the losses this time?" Luo Feng asked.
"Over a thousand warriors died, and nearly a thousand more were crippled."
Li Dawei shook his head and sighed, "This time is considered good; with the two of you here, you bore far too much of the pressure. The most threatening high-level lords were all dealt with by you as well, making it much easier for us to handle the rest. The two of you are worth hundreds of thousands of troops! Like in the past..."
The three walked slowly as Li Dawei spoke to the two about many matters.
The casualties of humans in the war against the sea monsters were too tragic, or else he wouldn't have intentionally utilized this gathering of War Gods.
Li Dawei finally smiled bitterly, "The sea monsters we killed this time are not even a drop in the bucket compared to the countless monsters across the entire ocean."
Luo Feng and Yun He both remained silent in response.
In the end, Yun He still declined the military's recruitment, stating that he only wanted to cultivate in peace and did not wish to join any faction. He merely accepted a military rank, indicating that if there was any place needing help, he certainly would not stand by idly.
This was because Yun He knew very well that these current disasters would definitely be resolved in the future. These monsters at best were merely ordinary mobs from a newbie village.
Earth humans would face greater threats in days to come.
Only by growing strong oneself could one have more confidence to face the crises originating from the universe.
A little past two o'clock in the afternoon on September 29th.
Yun He and Luo Feng wore SS-Rank Combat Sets purchased at favorable prices from the War God Palace. Luo Feng's was a blood-red combat uniform and an SS-Rank Blood Shadow Battle Blade.
Yun He's was a pure black combat uniform and an SS-Rank Longsword. Of course, it was paid for by Luo Feng, this wealthy tycoon.
The two stood before a deep-blue smart fighter jet at this moment.
"Mom, Dad, this time I'm going out, and the duration is hard to determine. Luo Hua, while I'm not home, take good care of Mom and Dad," Luo Feng said.
"Got it, big brother." Luo Hua, who had already regrown his legs, nodded in agreement alongside his girlfriend, Xiao Nan.
"You two be careful out there as well," Luo's father and Luo's mother both repeatedly urged.
Yun He and Luo Feng smiled slightly, turning to walk toward the nearby smart fighter jet. The jet hatch opened, the two entered, and the hatch closed.
Whoosh!
The deep-blue triangular fighter rapidly ascended, flying out of the Jiangnan Base City urban defense system zone, and then transformed into a stream of light, flying toward the Limit Martial Hall Global Headquarters.
In Hongning Base City, the Limit Martial Hall Global Headquarters was a massive building resembling an ancient giant spaceship.
Inside the giant spaceship building, as soon as Yun He and the two arrived, they were escorted into a certain lounge. Inside the spacious lounge, six people were already sitting there.
Judging by their appearances, a pair of men and women currently speaking were of Chinese descent, another person sitting there with closed eyes should be Indian, and the remaining three consisted of two Black people and one blonde white person.
"Hello, Luo Feng, Yun He. I am Tuoba Yan, from Kyoto Base City."
That Chinese-descended man walked over and said, "As far as I know, among the nine of us departing in this batch, the ones from China are just you two and me. The person who was just talking to me is Miss Li, a resident of Hongning Base City."
"Oh." Yun He and Luo Feng nodded, exchanged a couple of casual words with him, and then sat to the side to close their eyes and rest their minds.
With the entry into the Ancient Civilization Ruins imminent, they truly had no mood for idle chatter.
Even Yun He himself felt somewhat apprehensive in his heart; after all, he was a martial artist, not a Spiritualist.
These ruins were exceptionally friendly to Spiritualists, and no Spiritualists had ever died there, whereas martial artists had a casualty and disability rate of over 75%.
Although Yun He had some confidence in himself based on the description in the original novel, when the time came, he could not avoid some apprehension and tension.
They did not wait long before the ninth member also arrived.
The War Gods from the Limit Martial Hall heading to the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins this time were all fully assembled.
"Respected War Gods, please follow me."
Led by a man wearing a loose red robe, the nine of them, including Yun He, arrived in a quiet room decorated entirely with strange purple wood.
This purple wood not only possessed a peculiar fragrance, but could also make people's minds unprecedentedly calm.
The black-robed man Hong was standing inside the quiet room, his back turned to everyone.
"Master!" All nine of them, including Yun He, bowed slightly.
The black-robed man turned around, his gaze sweeping over Yun He's group, pausing slightly on Yun He before speaking indifferently, "Although the danger level of the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins is lower among all civilization ruins, the casualty rate is still very high."
"If any of you regret it now and want to quit, you can speak up now. Otherwise, once you enter the Ancient Civilization Ruins, it will be too late if you want to regret it."
Everyone remained silent.
"Very well," Hong said indifferently. "Yao Rao, come in."
Swish!
A hazy human figure condensed outside the door, revealing a mysterious female wearing a full suit of black robes, wearing a golden mask, and with a cascade of long black hair loose.
Because she wore a mask, only her eyes, nose, and mouth were visible. Yet based on this alone, one could determine this was definitely an peerless beauty. Especially that pair of eyes, which were simply soul-stirring.
This female was Yao Rao, one of the three personal guards. The three personal guards were all the most loyal subordinates of Master Hong.
"The nine of you will set out for the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins shortly, with Yao Rao leading the team," Hong instructed.
"Understood," everyone acknowledged the order.
"The No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins are a type of ruins from ancient times used for elimination-style trial selections. When you enter later, martial artists generally walk along the Type-A passage into the depths of the ruins, whereas Spiritualists take the Type-B passage..."
"Inside, everyone's encounters are not necessarily the same."
"The difficulty varies as well."
"Those who succeed can obtain the reward of the ruins: the Black God Set. Those who fail will either die or be crippled."
aboard the flying fighter jet, personal guard Yao Rao explained matters concerning the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins to everyone.
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
After Yao Rao finished explaining matters regarding the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, she stood up and spoke to the smart fighter jet control console, "Password: No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins."
Beep~
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Nine red beams of light shot out from the smart fighter jet control console, shooting toward the communication watches on the wrists of the nine War Gods, including Yun He.
Everyone felt a burst of confusion.
"Don't be nervous." The corners of Yao Rao's mouth curled up slightly, as if she were smiling.
"There are written languages inside the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, but they are completely different from any language or script on our Earth."
"If you cannot understand the language inside the ruins and cannot read the text, it will drastically waste your time. In the early days when we didn't understand these languages and scripts, there was once a War God who stayed inside for a full seven months before coming out."
"The communication watches I just gave you have translation software installed to help you translate the text and language inside the ruins. Once you come out of the ruins, I will uninstall them for you," Yao Rao explained.
Five minutes later, the translation software installation was complete.
"The No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins have arrived!"
