Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 165 - We're All Wooden People

Chapter 165: We’re All Wooden People

Wei Huo had already asked System Number Two about it. System Number Two did not know what was in the Dragon Lock Well. There might be a True Dragon locked in it. System Number Two had said that if there was a True Dragon, Wei Huo would not be able to handle it with his current strength.

The True Dragon’s strength was terrifying. It was much more terrifying than the winged lizards of the west. The Dragon Qi it spat out could make an empire rise or fall.

System Number Two even made a bold prediction. “If it’s a True Dragon, it’s definitely an existence stronger than a Mythical creature. In that case, the chains won’t be able to lock the True Dragon. The Dragon Lock Well might only be locked by Dragon Qi.”

Wei Huo pulled the old monk back and repeatedly told him that he was really there to learn the Taiji Fist. The old monk tried to persuade him again. “The Dragon Lock Well is very dangerous. It’s best if you don’t step into it casually. A young reporter with a camera barged in and became chief editor when he returned.”

Wei Huo was speechless.

Master, you have no intention of stopping me.

System Number Two said, “These people might have obtained a wisp of Dragon Qi and the power of wind and water. Their lives and fates are irreversible. Luck and water can change a person’s future.”

Wei Huo looked at the tree by the temple and thought of dragons. He suddenly felt that the tree trunk was like a dragon’s body, the tree top was like a dragon’s head, the leaves were like dragon scales, the branches were like dragon horns, and the fruits were like dragon eyes.

This was not a Bodhi Tree. It was a Dragon Head Tree that had mutated due to the Dragon Qi!

The tree in the center of the temple was a Dragon Head Tree. It was a tree that had grown there because of the Dragon Qi. No wonder the fruit produced by the tree was extraordinary.

After Wei Huo’s multiple explanations, the old monk finally stopped trying to persuade him. Wei Huo had wanted to learn the Taiji Fist, but the old monk was practicing the Form Fist today. He first stood on a round pile and, without saying a word, he put on the Trisolar Form and threw a Half-Step Collapsing Punch.

Wei Huo was confused.

Why did you change your fist technique?

Wei Huo asked, “Master, why are you practicing the Form Fist?”

The old monk said, “Not long after I came to this mountain, the government asked us to promote martial arts. They wanted us to strengthen our bodies and protect ourselves. Someone even came up the mountain to teach me. That’s why I learned it.”

Wei Huo was speechless. You’re not studying martial arts at the Shaolin Monastery, but you’re quite good at learning martial arts from other sects.

Wei Huo followed the old monk’s example and practiced for a while. Soon, he acquired another skill called Form Fist (Basic).

The old monk continued punching and meditating.

At that moment, Wei Huo told System Number Two, “I heard you say that there is another inheritance in this mountain apart from the Instance Dungeon.”

System Number Two replied, “That’s right. There’s a heritage in the mountain. It’s in the middle of the temple hall. One has to knock open the seventh and eighth row of stone slabs. There’s a secret pa.s.sage that leads to the middle of the mountain. There’s a cave in the middle of the mountain, and a heritage is hidden there.”

Wei Huo arrived at the palace and opened the stone tablet. Indeed, he saw a dark cave. He leaped down the cave and landed on wet ground.

That was the fifth cave that Wei Huo had encountered. According to tradition, there should be a small game in each cave. Based on the scores of small games, the completion rate of the heritage was different.

Wei Huo was ready to play a game. However, after a few steps, he arrived in front of a stone wall. The stone wall emitted a chilling vibe.

Wei Huo walked forward and touched the stone wall. It was smooth and cold.

However, there were no images on the stone wall. Wei Huo took out System Number Two and asked, “How can I enter?”

There was no reaction from System Number Two. The screen was pitch-black, and there was no image. It was like a phone that had been turned off.

Soon, the screen of System Number Two emitted a blue light. This blue light shone out and turned the stone wall blue.

Why was the screen blue?

Wei Huo frowned. He suddenly felt a chill penetrate his body and attack the Golden Core in him. However, when the Golden Core turned cold, that coolness instantly shattered.

Wei Huo realized that the blue light could freeze souls!

System Number Two had said that he did not have a CPU, but he had a soul. Unfortunately, his soul was not strong. He could not resist the low temperature, which could freeze his soul. In the end, he was frozen.

Wei Huo looked at the stone wall and wrapped his Domain Force around his fist. He threw a punch and the terrifying fist smashed into the stone wall. The terrifying force cracked the stone wall instantly. Wei Huo finally saw what was behind the stone wall.

It was an extremely huge blue ice crystal.

The ice crystal kept emitting a blue light. This blue light did not lower the temperature of the surrounding air, but it could freeze souls. Epic-ranked creatures would be affected, and Rare-ranked beings would be slowed down by two-thirds. Only Wei Huo, who had reached the Legendary rank, was not afraid of the blue light.

Wei Huo shattered the stone wall and walked forward. However, the huge ice crystal suddenly emitted a childish voice. “We’re all wooden people. Don’t speak or move!”

As soon as he finished his sentence, Wei Huo frowned slightly. A blue light shot toward him. It was a blue light that could freeze souls. However, Wei Huo lifted his hand and unleashed his domain to block the blue light.

This was the small game. This time, it was a game of ‘We’re All Wooden[1] People’!

A childish voice came from the ice crystal again. “We’re all wooden people…”

Wei Huo walked forward, but the ice crystal immediately shouted, “Don’t move!”

Wei Huo did not stop in his tracks. He continued moving forward. An even stronger blue light attacked with the power of an imposing aura. It was enough to freeze the soul of a Rare-ranked expert. However, Wei Huo was fearless. With a slap, he made the blue light disappear.

The ice crystal spoke faster. “Don’t move!”

It skipped the first sentence and shouted, “Don’t move!” Regardless of whether one was a wooden person or not, no one was allowed to move!

A chill that could freeze an Epic-ranked expert’s soul attacked. The blue light attacked from all directions with the power of a domain. It could freeze all souls below the Legendary level.

Wei Huo’s domain spread out and blocked the blue light. He strode forward, not giving the ice crystal any chance to speak.

At that moment, Rule Power flowed on the ice crystal. Wei Huo felt it and stopped in his tracks. This time, the ice crystal did not say a word. The blue light carrying the Rule Power spread out.

However, the blue light did not attack Wei Huo this time because he did not move.

This was a game called ‘We’re All Wooden People’. As long as he did not move, nothing would happen!

At that moment, Wei Huo was only one meter away from the ice crystal. However, countless Rule Power surrounded him. As long as Wei Huo moved, the low temperature of the Rule Power would freeze his soul!

[1] A game where a person counts as others sneak up on him. When the counter turns around, everyone else has to freeze and act like wooden people.
