Section 276
At this moment, Lu Qingxue and Liu Yan were sitting cross-legged on the ground to recover their soul power. After a long and fierce battle, the eight of them had killed all the warriors of the two teams.
Except for Yu Shan who was unconscious due to the huge consumption, Lu Qingxue and Liu Yan were not injured. At most, the soul power in their bodies was consumed a lot.
As for Leng Qianjue, Murong Qingqing and An Yilan, they did not suffer any harm because of the protection of Lu Qingxue and Yu Shan.
Except for An Yilan who was taking care of Yu Shan, Leng Qianjue and Murong Qingqing, who felt extremely guilty, were trying to clean up the battlefield.
This seemed to be the only thing they could do.
"Sister, how are you recovering?"
Coming to Lu Qingxue and the others, Lu Qingchen glanced at the people sitting cross-legged on the ground to recover and asked.
"It's almost done. After this battle, my soul power seems to have improved a bit."
Hearing the voice, Lu Qingxue suddenly opened her eyes and nodded to her brother.
"We are almost there."
Except Lu Qingxue, Long Xi and the other two also opened their eyes and answered.
"That's good." Seeing that the four people had recovered, Lu Qingchen's somewhat tense body relaxed a little. Turning around, Lu Qingchen waved to the two people who were still cleaning the battlefield and said:
"You two, don't think too much. Have you found anything in their storage rings?"
Chapter 343 Cleaning the battlefield, map
"Ah?" Leng Qianjue and Murong Qingqing suddenly heard Lu Qingchen asking them, and they were a little unresponsive for a while.
"Yes, yes, each of them has a map in their hands!"
Murong Qingqing was the first to react. She quickly picked up the last storage ring at the bottom and quickly came to Lu Qingchen with Leng Qianjue.
"Here, there are a total of 20 maps, but they seem to be the same."
After briefly talking about their findings, Murong Qingqing and Leng Qianjue handed all the maps and storage rings in their hands to Lu Qingchen.
"Really?" Lu Qingchen smiled at the two of them, and then spread out the first map.
Leng Qianjue and Murong Qingqing immediately leaned over. They just glanced at it casually before, and maybe they missed something.
Similarly, Long Xi, Liu Yan and Lu Qingxue also leaned over.
As the map in their hands slowly spread out, a wider area than the Flame Temple before suddenly came into the eyes of Lu Qingchen and others.
The map was very large, and the length and width were even close to ten feet. After it was fully spread out, it was a square with densely packed symbols and texts marked inside.
Lu Qingchen quickly glanced at it, and then found the marking points of about a dozen ruins of different sizes.
Among them, the four areas of southeast, northwest and northeast added up to about thirteen, while the most vast area in the middle surprisingly only had one.
Without bothering about the ruins in the most vast area in the middle, Lu Qingchen directly cast his eyes on the area where they were, that is, the southernmost area.
Like the map of the Flame Temple team, this map also marked two locations, an unknown relic (extremely dangerous), and a spiritual stone vein.
Apart from this, there were no other text markings.
After carefully scanning the other areas on the map again, Lu Qingchen found that except for the most vast area in the middle, the other areas were basically clearly marked.
Saint-level relics (explored), Saint-level relics (explored), Emperor-level relics (explored), Saint-level relics (unexplored)......
Quickly scanning the information recorded on the map, Lu Qingchen found that 90% of the dozens of relics marked in the east, west, and north regions had been explored.
And except for one Saint-level relic, there was only one Emperor-level relic left.
"Have all three regions been explored?"
Lei Xuan, who was standing aside, naturally saw this scene. After looking at the three major areas of the east, west, and north, he couldn't help but speak.
"That's right, but I can't be completely sure for now." Lu Qingchen nodded, rolled up the map and put it away, then he took out the next map.
"It's exactly the same."
After a quick glance, Lu Qingchen put away the second map, and then handed it to Murong Qingqing together with the first map,
"Put these maps away first, they may be useful later."
When Murong Qingqing heard what Lu Qingchen said, she quickly took the two maps from him and put them into the storage ring, and a touch of joy flashed across her pretty face.
She knew the captain very well. Since he said so, these two maps might be useful later.
And once they can really be useful, it naturally means that they have another opportunity.
When she thought about getting another opportunity soon, Murong Qingqing became excited.
Of course, it was not just Murong Qingqing who was like this, Leng Qianjue who was standing by was also like this when he saw this scene.
In the past few days since she came to the ancient battlefield, she has been deeply impressed by the young man in front of her, and finally understood why Long Feng made him the captain instead of Liu Yan, who had the highest cultivation.
Take the pool of dragon vein essence for example, if it was anyone other than Lu Qingchen on the field, would they definitely take it out and share it with the others after discovering it?
It's not that Leng Qian never trusts others, but that the value of the Dragon Vein Essence is too high. She has already broken through four small realms within a few days of arriving at the ancient battlefield. This is something she never dreamed of.
Besides, no one else in the entire team except Lu Qingchen seemed to know the Dragon Vein Essence. If Lu Qingchen didn't tell him clearly, wouldn't it be possible...
Thinking of this, she subconsciously glanced at the boy next to her who was still carefully observing the map.
"Put these away."
As if aware of Leng Qianjue's gaze, Lu Qingchen smiled at her, then picked up a stack of maps and handed them to her and Murong Qingqing.
"Oh, okay."
The two of them took the map from Lu Qingchen obediently, and then counted the number of maps very carefully.
The total is eighteen.
After counting the number of maps, Murong Qingqing and Leng Qianjue couldn't help but look at each other, and then brought their heads closer.
The number of warriors in these two teams is ten, and when added together, there are twenty warriors in total.
And Lu Qingchen still found nothing after reading eighteen maps. Doesn't that mean that the opportunity is probably hidden in the last two maps?
After all, among the trophies of the team that cleared the Flame Temple, the captain's map was different from the team members' maps.
They all seemed to have thought about this. Seven people crowded around Lu Qingchen, and several people even pressed directly against Lu Qingchen.
"I said, can you think about me for a moment?"
Various fragrances hit his nose, and Lu Qingchen rolled his eyes, thinking that although I am a gentleman, this can easily disrupt my thoughts, so he stopped slightly.
"Well......"
The girls who were tightly together couldn't help but look at each other, then their faces turned red, and they moved a little embarrassedly. Long Xi and Liu Yan tried their best to make some space for Lu Qingchen.
This move made Lei Xuan extremely excited. Due to the limited space around Lu Qingchen, he was completely squeezed to the other side and could only glance at the map information from a distance.
Seeing that the girls had made a not-so-wide space for Lu Qingchen, Lei Xuan seized the opportunity and leaned his head over with a smile.
Lu Qingchen didn't care about this scene. Anyway, it would be nice to have some space to breathe. He glanced at the excited people around him and quickly spread out the last two maps together.
The next moment, two big question marks came into view.
Chapter 344 Mysterious question mark, hidden opportunity
Liu Yan, Lei Xuan and the others only saw a huge question mark marking the area in the center of the two maps.
That is not a specific location, but the entire central area of the ancient battlefield, and this area is even larger than the combined area of the east, south, west, and north areas!
In an instant, Liu Yan and others looked at each other, as if they were all deep in thought.
...
"We seemed to be looking...lonely?!"
After a long while, Lei Xuan, who had been thinking hard, finally gave up. He didn't have many brain cells to begin with, so it was better to leave things like this that required brain cells to Lu Qingchen.
"Don't make any noise!"
When Liu Yan heard this, she couldn't help but glared at Lei Xuan, signaling him not to disturb Lu Qingchen who was thinking.
"Treat them differently..."
Due to Liu Yan's high level of cultivation, Lei Xuan had no choice but to shut up quietly, but he still couldn't help complaining in his heart.
However, complaints are complaints. Lei Xuan still admires Lu Qingchen in his heart. Since he met Lu Qingchen, his fate seems to have gradually deviated from the original route.
From Lu Qingchen gifting himself the soul seed, to absorbing the dragon vein essence and transforming into the top genius in Tianzu Realm, Lei Xuan was filled with gratitude to Lu Qingchen.
After glancing thoughtfully at Lu Qingchen, who was still bowing his head in thought, Lei Xuan sat down nearby, no more than five meters away from Lu Qingchen.
As expected, less than half a minute later, Lu Qingchen deduced some clues.
He pointed at the huge question mark marked on the map and analyzed to everyone:
"According to the most basic inference, this question mark only represents three meanings.
The first is that the warrior who drew this map has never entered the central area at all, so he knows nothing about the central area of the ancient battlefield.
The second is that the warrior who drew this map has entered the central area, but has not completed all the explorations and has not found any ruins. Therefore, as a last resort, he can only leave a question mark. "
Speaking of this, Lu Qingchen looked at the map in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly.
"And the last one is that the warrior who drew this map has explored all of the central region, leaving a question mark in the end."
After deducing all the possible meanings of this question mark, Lu Qingchen stared at the central area of the map and fell into deep thought again.
After listening to Lu Qingchen's words, Liu Yan and others nodded thoughtfully. Only Leng Xuanxuan spoke her truest thoughts without even thinking:
"The last situation you mentioned seems a bit wrong. Logically speaking, if the warrior who drew this map has really explored all the central areas, then he would at least mark the explored areas just like marking other areas. The ruins of the past!
And now the entire central area of this map has no relics marked, doesn't it mean that the warrior who drew this map didn't..."
Leng Xuanxuan said her inner thoughts while glancing at the central area of the map again.
This glance didn't matter. Leng Xuanxuan seemed to have discovered something suddenly, and the words she was about to say were held back.
"Don't stop, keep talking, your analysis makes sense."
A familiar voice came into her ears, and Leng Xuanxuan subconsciously raised her head and found that Lu Qingchen was looking at her with a half-smile on his face.
"Hehe, that, I, I seem to have made a wrong judgment..."
Leng Xuanxuan smiled a little embarrassedly and explained.
