Arcane Universe - Chapter9

Feng Chou did not hesitate to interrupt Qiankun Pagoda's words and said, "No!

The memories of my past life are not only useless in this world, but they will also become an obstacle for me to understand and adapt to this new world … "

Although his words were pleasant to hear, Feng Chou was actually thinking like this in his heart, "If I recover the memories of an old ghost who has lived for two to three thousand years, then wouldn't my memories become a drop in the ocean?

Would I still be me?

I'm afraid that "I" will become another person. "

Qiankun Pagoda said, "Although that is the case, my energy is about to run out. According to your orders, if a similar situation occurs, I must help you recover the memories of your past life."

Feng Chou said, "Isn't there still a few years left?

Maybe things will take a turn for the better. Even if there isn't, you can wait until your energy is completely exhausted to help me recover my memories, right? "

Qiankun Pagoda was silent.

Looking at Qiankun Pagoda's face that was not handsome, but was filled with a strange charm, he asked curiously, "Is your current appearance my appearance from my past life?"

The Heaven and Earth Pagoda Spirit shook its head and said, "No, you were so valiant in your previous life. How could you look like this? This is the image of Xiao Zi Yang, the rogue cultivator who forced you to commit suicide. You wanted me to transform into his appearance so that you could constantly remind yourself to never forget your revenge."

Feng Chou did not comment and curled his lips, saying, "Send me out."

Qiankun Pagoda did not say anything and waved his hand. Feng Chou only saw a blur in front of his eyes before he arrived at the dark cave.

Feng Chou did not even have time to look at the cave in front of him before he subconsciously inhaled a foul stench in his mouth, causing him to cough.

The more he coughed, the more he inhaled the foul stench. This incomparably strong stench caused him to cough and vomit at the same time.

Feng Chou endured the discomfort and pushed aside a rock under his feet.

The rock was one square foot in size and probably weighed close to a hundred pounds, but it was thrown five to six meters away by him.

Feng Chou did not care about the shocking changes in his body. He grabbed the white jade pagoda under the rock and turned around to rush towards the cave entrance. The air in this cave filled with corpses was too turbid and smelly.

Feng Chou rushed to the cave entrance like the wind before he stopped and gasped for breath. Although there was a foul stench here, at least it was not suffocating.

Feng Chou took a few deep breaths and looked at the white jade tower in his hand. When he looked down, he realized that the white jade tower had disappeared. He subconsciously looked at his chest and saw that the pagoda-shaped birthmark had appeared there again.

Feng Chou could not help but reach out to touch the birthmark. It felt no different from the rest of his skin. No matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary birthmark.

Looking at the birthmark and thinking for a moment, Feng Chou could not help but shake his head and laugh.

Putting aside the doubts in his heart, he walked to the entrance of the cave with his back against the wall. He looked at the Wizard Tower in the distance and shrank back.

Feng Chou looked down at his snow-white skin and could not help but feel a headache. He then looked back into the depths of the cave with a conflicted expression.

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Chou took a deep breath and quickly returned to the depths of the cave while holding his breath.

After a while, he ran out again and retched.

Feng Chou had never been a fastidious person, but he really could not put on the clothes of the dead that had been soaked in the decaying liquid of the corpses.

After a bout of retching, Feng Chou finally suppressed the churning in his stomach. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and thought for a moment. He squatted down and dug out some mud from the ground and began to smear it on his body. In this dusky city, his naked white skin was too conspicuous.

The mud at the entrance of the cave was a little dry and did not stick to his body.

He pressed on his stomach and felt the urge to pee.

Feng Chou hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and peed on the pile of mud that he had just collected.

After a big puddle of urine, Feng Chou frowned and began to smear it on his body.

He quickly covered his entire body with mud, and even his back was smeared with mud as he lay on the ground.

After making sure that all of his skin was covered with urine, Feng Chou carefully slipped out of the cave.

He stuck close to the stone wall and observed the Wizard Tower in the distance. He carefully crept along the stone wall in the opposite direction of the Wizard Tower.

The Wizard Tower had powerful surveillance capabilities. As long as the master of the Wizard Tower was willing, even the lowest level Wizard Tower could monitor an area of tens of square kilometers without missing a single mouse.

However, as a Wizard Apprentice, Feng Chou knew that this kind of meticulous monitoring would consume a lot of energy. Therefore, unless it was a state of war, the Wizard Tower would always only monitor a few key areas and the surroundings of important people.

Feng Chou was worried that his current position was too close to the Wizard Tower. He was within the range of the Wizard Tower's surveillance.

Feng Chou crept several hundred meters away, but the Wizard Tower still did not move. This made him let out a long sigh of relief.

What Feng Chou did not know was that before he walked out of the cave, he had already been monitored by the Wizard Tower's Tower Spirit. It was just that the master of the Wizard Tower had set the Tower Spirit's preset warning condition for the Tower Spirit to detect the infiltration of professionals of level 5 and above.

In the dangerous Underdark, only professionals of level 5 and above were considered a threat. Those below level 5 were just slaves and cannon fodder.

After the previous torment, Feng Chou's physical fitness was just barely close to that of a level 5 warrior. However, the strength of a level 5 warrior was not just the strength on the surface of the body. They had already begun to develop the potential hidden deep within the human body.

This inner potential was called 'Hydgar's Strength' by the warriors. It was said that this power was discovered by the 'God of War' of this world, Hydgar, and taught people how to use it …

Back to the main point, whether a warrior could advance to level 5 or not was not the physical fitness on the surface, but whether or not he had activated Hydgar's Strength. Once Hydgar's Strength was activated, the warrior would be able to activate 150% of their strength in a short period of time, or even more. This would undoubtedly cause the warrior's combat strength to increase by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Wizard Tower's Tower Spirit, Feng Chou was only a relatively strong level 4 warrior. A runaway slave was not worthy of its attention.

Far away from the Wizard Tower, Feng Chou let out a long sigh of relief.

He climbed along a crack in the wall to a high place, looking down and observing the underground city.

In the center of the underground city was a magnificent octagonal building. At the top of the building was a huge spider statue. Even with Leo's poor knowledge of the Underdark, Feng Chou could easily determine that this magnificent building should be the temple of the Spider Queen.

Surrounding the temple were six different sized, exquisite and sturdy castles. This meant that there were six Drow families in this city.

Surrounding these castles were some functional buildings, such as mills, defense towers, blacksmithing workshops, and so on …

Outside the castle area, there was a wall that was not too high. Outside the wall, there was a wide open area. Outside the open area, there was a messy slave area. The buildings in the slave area did not have any pattern. There was not even a proper street. It was very messy.

In fact, this slave area surrounding the city was also a defense of Drow's city. Once the enemy entered the slave area, the Drow warriors, who were known for their ruthlessness and agility, would fight with the enemy in this chaotic slave area.

Therefore, although the houses in the slave area looked messy and old, they were actually quite sturdy stone buildings.
