Chapter 4, Teammates

Damn! Is that Lynch's golden finger?

The young man, whose sunken cheeks seemed to have been hollowed out by the effects of alcohol, bore a countenance of righteous indignation: "As scholars of the sages, how can we be deceived by these strange forces and chaotic spirits?"

As soon as Wu Ming finished speaking, the other four fell silent for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed in succession, their expressions resembling those of someone who had seen a ghost

Ah!

The mountains are clear and the waters are beautiful, with wisps of smoke curling up from cooking fires. Not far away, there seems to be a small village situated on the plain, yet Wu Ming's pupils slightly constricted.

Because that wisp of blue smoke in the sky is strikingly still

At this moment, a voice that was even more mysterious than before resonated directly in Wu Ming's mind, mechanical and rigid, yet imbued with a sense of vastness and grandeur

There is an increasing concern about whether this mission can succeed and whether we can survive

Yet now, both the calluses and the scars have completely vanished!

Kang Shouli snorted, displaying a disdainful attitude towards engaging in a confrontation with Wu Ming, while Xiaoyu looked at Wu Ming with a face full of innocence

Hmph! A vulgar warrior

The yellow oriole, true to her origins in the world of pleasure, smiled gently, instantly captivating Kang Shouli to the point of losing his bearings, appearing as if possessed by the spirit of desire

This ... ...

Your appearance and attire have been fine-tuned, automatically equipped with situational language, allowing for seamless communication with characters in the scene. You will disappear after the task is completed... Note: It is strictly forbidden to disclose information about the Main Temple and the real world to the characters in the scene. Violators will be eradicated!

The Main Temple? As long as one completes the tasks, any wish can be fulfilled? What a joke! It must be a joke! What equipment? Titles? This is simply playing tricks and conjuring illusions!

Wu Ming glanced at his attributes and felt a strong urge to complain: "Is it really this simple? What about muscle strength? What about reflexes? Even just a bit of strength and constitution would be more intuitive..."

A terrifying sensation of falling enveloped him, as if he were trapped in a nightmare, his body feeling weightless and devoid of any support. Wu Ming struggled to open his eyes, only to realize how difficult it was to command his body with his will.

The yellow oriole gently shook her head: "I have fallen into the world of dust and have sold smiles for many years. What I excel at is merely in receiving and sending off guests, yet I possess not the slightest skill in martial arts or sorcery..."

I indeed feel that... given my status, no one would go to such lengths to play such a grand joke on me

The world of rivers and lakes is fraught with danger; therefore, I have never left my name behind

The dust-laden woman in a pale yellow dress let out a bitter smile and said: "I am but a humble servant residing in Donghai County, where within a radius of one hundred miles, there is no such vast plain, as if in the blink of an eye I have traveled from the south to the north..."

Hmm, at least I can still be considered calm... Wu Ming nodded in his heart, just about to respond, when the young man next to the girl in goose yellow also stood up, his expression panicked

Wu Ming suddenly coughed, immediately attracting the vigilant gazes of the other four people

At that moment, a sharp scream from a woman pierced the air. Wu Ming turned his head and saw several people who had been lying down slowly getting up. He couldn't help but roll his eyes in his mind: "According to the rules of the infinite flow, the stronger the ability, the earlier one wakes up. Does that mean... they are even worse than me... worthless?"

Qin Hu! Third level of the Flesh Body Realm!

Eh?

Wu Ming cast a disdainful glance, saying, "In your current state? I fear that the lofty spirit of Confucianism is perhaps cultivated on the bellies of women"

All reincarnators confirmed! Commencing this mission!

Ah... what is happening? Wasn't I just enjoying myself in the tavern? How did I suddenly end up here? Who are you? Kidnappers? My uncle is the county lieutenant...

Indeed, we have all spoken, but you have yet to say anything. There is nothing that cannot be shared with others; do you still have any secrets?

Wu Ming carefully examined the light screen several times, especially the last two blood-red words of obliteration, which truly gave him a feeling of shock and fear

This young gentleman, may I ask where this place is

Alright! At this moment, we find ourselves in a wondrous realm, and it is all the more important for us to work together. How about we introduce ourselves to one another, sharing our names, cultivation levels, and special skills

The mechanical, rigid, and resounding sound continued to echo, yet Wu Ming found himself surrounded by darkness, losing consciousness in an instant

Welcome, reincarnators, to the Main God Temple

Not only the cooking smoke, but also the ancient trees nearby, the flowers and grasses along the road, and the birds and beasts, all remain motionless, as if the world has paused, resembling a vividly lifelike specimen

Boom

Including Wu Ming, there are three men and two women, and fortunately, the main temple did not madly drag in the elderly and children as well

This is the main god space! It is said to be the main god world where hell mode, the mutual destruction of raising gu, task failures, and insufficient points can lead to direct annihilation

Wu Ming asked with his last hope

Kang Shouli turned his eyes and said loudly

At this moment, the other four individuals were absolutely taken aback, with the short-tempered Qin Hu nearly rolling up his sleeves to take action

The last girl, however, had a voice that was soft and sweet, with two watery, bright eyes gazing at Wu Ming

Qin Hu's pupils slightly constricted, yet he did not advance further; Wu Ming's martial arts cultivation was even slightly higher than his, who had just entered the Bone Refinement Realm.

A woman dressed in pale yellow, with an elegant demeanor and a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth, exuding a hint of worldly charm, stood up and suddenly bowed gracefully to Wu Ming, softly inquiring.

The previous generation of young people were even more astonished: "I never expected that within Donghai County, there would be such a stunning beauty as you, my lady. I shall certainly pay a visit another day... I am Kang Shouli, my father is a wealthy gentleman from Hedong City, and my uncle is the county magistrate. The Kang family is somewhat renowned in Hedong City. In my youth, I hired a martial arts master and trained in two levels of martial arts."

Ding! The reincarnator is scanning, information collection, number in progress...

In an instant, a luminous curtain fell before Wu Ming, revealing ancient characters imbued with a mysterious aura. They resembled seal script or inscriptions, yet Wu Ming understood their meaning at a glance

But now, having fallen into the main temple, it is likely that even surviving this mission has become a problem

Wu Ming instinctively touched his chest, where the jade pendant that had caused his imprisonment still remained. Apart from that, it was completely empty, devoid of anything, which caused Wu Ming's expression to change slightly. He then glanced at his unscathed right hand, his eyes narrowing even further.

It seems that Wu Ming's previous actions have somewhat eased the concerns of others. A woman named Huang Ying spoke candidly, but when it came to discussing her specialties, her face was filled with embarrassment

He let out a bitter smile, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands, making an effort to display his innocence: "Actually... I came in with you all, and I am still completely in the dark. At this moment, the situation is strange; we should unite and work together to overcome this difficulty. I can share a few discoveries first; if I carefully recall and listen, some information seems to have already been etched in our minds..."

The man in black was currently sparing with his words, his eyes anxiously scanning the surroundings.

Name: Wu Ming

Although confidence alone may not be sufficient, he glanced at the few people around him and then paused again

Wu Ming did not pay attention to him, but instead looked at the other two individuals. One was a girl who appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands. The other was a robust and sturdy man, with a fierce expression and a somewhat thuggish demeanor.

Wu Ming rolled his eyes: "A stagnant world... It seems to really be the 'Lord God'! Damn it! Why did I have to be so reckless and pick up that piece of jade?"

After all, he had previously worn that talisman ring, and even because of a momentary surge of overwhelming power, he had burned his own hand.

Even if one is truly unsuitable for the path of cultivation, one can still pursue martial arts, Confucianism, or even the ways of shamanism and poison masters, as there will always be a glimmer of hope for longevity

Here is the sky, the earth, the six realms of reincarnation, and everything! Anything you desire can be found here! Any unattainable wish can be fulfilled here! As long as you can complete the tasks of the main temple, you will gain the entire world!

Wu Ming's lips curled into a slight smile as he glanced thoughtfully at the girl named Xiao Yu: "I have no name or surname, so you can just call me 'Nameless'!"

Your sister!

Reincarnator Number: Gengshen Sixty-Nine

Based on his foundation in the Great Zhou world, he can completely remain in obscurity and develop gradually

I am a yellow oriole, hailing from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion in Donghai County. As for my specialties... does playing the guqin, chess, calligraphy, and painting count?

The expression on the man's face, resembling that of a gang enforcer, grew even more grim.

I... I am called Xiaoyu, what about you, brother?

At that moment, the grand voice of the main temple seemed to resonate directly in everyone's minds

Suddenly, as if falling from a great height, Wu Ming's whole body trembled, and he opened his eyes

just ... ...

I am, however, a person from the Qin Border Prefecture! It is a journey of several months to travel from here to the southern and northern regions of Donghai Prefecture, even with a fast horse and urgent pace

Power penetrates the bones, threefold peak

As for the cultivation? It has also reached the third level of the physical body realm, with bones resonating in unison

Heaven have mercy, Wu Ming is basically satisfied with the world of the Great Zhou, he just wants to touch the corpse to see if there are any good bargains to pick up, but he absolutely does not want this

The girl in the final plain white dress timidly said: "I... I have heard... Father once said that in this world there are paradises and secret realms, and once one enters them, the vast sea turns into mulberry fields, distances become indistinct, and all phenomena become bewildering, making it impossible to reason about them as usual. Are we perhaps encountering such a situation?"

Cultivation: Fourth Level of the Physical Body Realm

Wu Ming was quite surprised as he glanced at the young girl; her knowledge seemed to surpass that of the previous dandy, Wu Ming himself.

Having the resources of a small family, along with a sister who practices the Dao, coming into contact with Daoist teachings in the future is certainly not a dream

Wu Ming smiled, and with a flick of his right hand, a powerful force surged through in succession, producing a series of sounds reminiscent of firecrackers.

... ...

Do you possess martial arts skills? Or perhaps Taoist abilities?

The Main Temple is opening! Please, reincarnators, be prepared!

Equipment: Jade Pendant (Unknown Artifact, requires identification at the Main Temple)

Although this woman comes from a humble background, her ability to candidly express the truth without changing her expression has caused Wu Ming to regard her with a measure of respect

Title: None

The flavor represented here made Wu Ming involuntarily have some thoughts

Cough cough ... ...

So it is Young Master Kang, Young Master, you are most courteous

A circle of white light surrounded the area, and several people were lying on the ground.
