Li Chonglou had already obtained a general understanding of the situation here from Shitou.
This so-called Lost Land was divided into three parts: the core zone, the inner zone, and the outer zone.
The outer zone was further divided into an inner layer and an outer layer, and outside the outer layer was a perimeter. Each area had different characteristics. The outer zone was primarily the area that the former various nations had fully explored, including the work areas, laboratories, and armories.
The inner zone was mainly the trial zone, and the previously seen gladiatorial arena was the core of the inner zone.
If Li Chonglou wanted to revive Fang Qian, he needed to go to the core zone, complete a trial to obtain something called 'Soul Returning Grass,' and then find Fang Qian's original body to administer it.
In addition, Shitou mentioned another piece of information.
There was another trial in the core zone. Upon its completion, one could obtain a Soul Bottle. If Li Chonglou could get it, he could bring the opportunity for release out of the Lost Land, meaning all of them, these soul bodies, would have a chance to leave.
This was also Shitou's ulterior motive; he wanted Li Chonglou to obtain the Soul Bottle and take him out so he could see someone.
However, entering the core zone was not without its price. Once Li Chonglou chose to enter, he would be entangled by a curse, and it was highly likely that even if he left the Lost Land, he would be unable to utilize his own power.
Shitou revealed all of this directly. As for the method to resolve the curse, he had mentioned it, but so far, no one had been able to truly use it.
But for Li Chonglou, as long as he could save Fang Qian, he would go regardless of the cost! After all, his life was bought with Fang Qian's own life!
As for Ge Li and Gao San, Li Chonglou naturally could not bring them to the core zone. The two had already told him about the mission assigned by Liu Feng, so Li Chonglou planned to take them to the armory first.
According to Shitou, all these main areas were not difficult to find; one only needed to follow the wide paths. Although there were no signposts along the way, all the main areas would have corresponding names outside them.
Just like the sign for the inner layer they had just seen.
As for the dangers along the way, they mainly came from hidden mechanisms.
At this point, Li Chonglou finally understood O'Neal's plan. He likely controlled the outer zone's central hub, but he didn't seem to understand the outer zone's situation, so he needed someone to scout for him and identify all the mechanism setups.
These scouts were undoubtedly cannon fodder, but that was for ordinary people like Ge Li. Although Li Chonglou had lost all his strength, his sensitivity to danger remained, making this task effortless for him.
"Detour."
At Li Chonglou's reminder, the two followed him with trepidation, bypassing a section ahead, which was already the fourth mechanism trap they had safely navigated.
Initially, they didn't understand Li Chonglou's actions, thinking he was wasting time or being redundant. Until one time, they accidentally encountered some living dead. After the three cautiously bypassed that area, the living dead charged forward, and in the next second, three living dead were cut in half by a laser beam!
From then on, the two placed their absolute trust in Li Chonglou's words!
"Big shot is truly a big shot! If it were us, we might have died hundreds of times already!"
The two looked at Li Chonglou with even greater admiration. While on their way, Li Chonglou did not forget to educate them about the place.
"Once we reach the armory, your survival will depend on yourselves."
The two initially held opposing views, as being by the side of a big shot was undoubtedly safe. It was only after Li Chonglou told them about the dangers of the core zone that they immediately backed down.
"Don't worry, big shot, we will definitely help you control the entire outer zone!"
Li Chonglou looked at the two with some confusion.
Ge Li then explained, "Don't judge us by our appearance, big shot. We were also soldiers. If there are enough weapons in the armory, we are confident we can hold our ground."
At this moment, the two seemed to have misunderstood Li Chonglou's intention, but he did not explain. In an unknown environment, it was good for people to have some drive. Since Ge Li and Gao Shan were full of confidence, he naturally would not dampen their spirits.
After all, Li Chonglou still had no idea how or when he would leave this place. His current goal was to handle Fang Qian's matters first!
As for future events, they would be dealt with when the time came!
Under Li Chonglou's guidance, the three encountered no major incidents and reached the so-called armory in just an hour.
"Damn! There are even laser guns!"
It was a vast space about the size of a basketball court. There was an electronic lock on the door, but it seemed to have been damaged. The door was now open, and the three entered directly.
Inside, various firearms were piled up. In the center was a glass room, clearly an elevator leading to the lower level.
"Then you stay here for now. I'm leaving."
With that, Li Chonglou turned and left directly. This was as far as he could help. If it weren't for the fact that they were both fellow countrymen, he might have already left them behind and headed for the core zone.
"I don't know why, but I feel empty now that the big shot is gone."
Ge Li looked at Li Chonglou's receding figure and said with reluctance.
At this moment, Gao Shan walked up to the glass room. He saw a handprint model on it and, under a strange impulse, subconsciously placed his hand on it.
"Weapon system re-activating."
"Manager identity confirmation in progress."
"Bound, system malfunction repairing."
Three sudden prompts startled Gao Shan. He quickly withdrew his hand and shouted to Ge Li.
"Damn, I think I've done something significant!"
Ge Li hurried over upon hearing this, and soon the two confirmed one thing.
It seemed that the armory was now under their control!
At the same time, in that dimly lit room.
O'Neal, who had been contemplating while staring at the screen in front of him, suddenly changed his expression and jumped up from his seat.
"Damn! Someone actually entered the armory?"
A furious look appeared on O'Neal's face, and he slammed his fist into the side.
Liu Feng happened to walk in and heard a loud bang, quickly asking, "Old Ao, what's wrong?"
