Chapter 33: The Limit

According to his cousin, Wang Shitang went to other places some time ago to run errands, but just three days ago, his phone was suddenly turned off and he couldn't get through.

And over the years, no matter where he goes, he has never been disconnected from his family, and this is the first time this has happened.

So my cousin was very anxious.

"Do you know where he went?"

Li Mian frowned slightly.

Although Wang Shitang is a bit utilitarian, it is a fact that he has always taken great care of him, and now that he knows this kind of thing, it is naturally impossible to ignore it.

"I only know that he went to Tiannan, but I don't know where Tiannan is." My cousin replied on the phone.

Wang Shitang often goes out to pour antiques, sometimes several times a year, she has long been used to it for so many years, and every time she goes out, she will not ask in as much detail as before.

Who knew that this kind of thing had happened.

Li Mian couldn't help frowning a little, Tiannan was a province next to their southern province, and it was one of the three southern provinces, and it was a big province in the entire empire.

Knowing this is almost useless.

"Xiao Zhang told me that he just received a courier from your cousin in the store a few days ago, and your cousin arranged for him to send it to your house, so I thought you could know something...... Then I'll ask someone else. ”

My cousin hung up.

Xiao Zhang is the clerk in Wang Shitang's antique shop.

The courier sent back by my cousin...... That ivory comb?!

When Li Mian thought of this, his heart suddenly sank!

The ivory comb was one of the most evil remnants he had ever encountered, and it even gave him hallucinations that night.

Wang Shitang must have also touched the ivory comb.

He only had contact with it for a short period of time before he had that weird hallucination, so how long did Wang Shitang come into contact with it, and where did he get that ivory comb?

Li Mian's brows tightened, and he realized that Wang Shitang might have encountered some unexpected trouble.

He opened the address book, flipped all the way to the bottom, found Yang Yan's number and began to dial.

Wang Shitang has a wide range of friends, and he has a lot of friends in Linhai City, but there are not many who can really be regarded as deep friends, among which Yang Yi, who has known him for more than ten years, can be regarded as one.

There may be some clues from him.

After the phone was dialed, about ten seconds later, the other side was connected.

"Uncle Yang, there's something I want to ask you." Without waiting for the other party to speak, Li Mian took the lead in speaking: "Do you know where my cousin went?" ”

"Wang Shitang? What happened to him? ”

Yang Yan immediately heard that something was wrong in his tone and asked.

"I'm missing, and my family hasn't been able to get through to him for three days." Li Mian said in a deep voice.

"Lost contact for three days? Wait a minute, I want to think about it......"

Yang Yan's tone changed slightly.

Compared with ordinary people, it is not long to lose contact for three days, and it may be just that the mobile phone is out of battery or similar accidents caused by the inability to contact.

But they are different, if they want to make huge profits in this business, they have to deal with all kinds of people, such as tomb robbers like the fifth master, and the risk is also quite large.

The loss of contact for three days means that there is very likely to be an accident in Wang Shitang.

"I remember, Wang Shitang went to Zongyang." Yang Yan quickly remembered.

"Zongyang?" Li Mian immediately asked, "Where is Zongyang?" ”

Zongyang is a third-tier city in Tien Nam Province, almost 200 kilometers away from Linhai City, and can be reached by car in up to four hours, which is not too far.

"I don't know the specifics, I only know that he went to Zongyang for a tomb ......"

Yang Yan explained it to him in detail.

Three months ago, there was a very old suburb in Zongyang that was about to be demolished and developed, and in the process of preparing to demolish a hospital, it was unexpectedly found that there was an ancient tomb underneath, so the demolition was forced to stop halfway.

But I don't know why, after the discovery of the ancient tomb, the local government just blocked the news and did not send cultural relics workers to carry out further excavation work.

But as time went on, the news spread.

"He should go with someone else, but I don't know who I am now, I have to call and ask, and I will inform you immediately if there is news."

Yang Yan said.

At that time, Wang Shitang called him to go over, but he was not in Linhai at the time, so he didn't make it.

"Then it's troublesome Uncle Yang."

Li mourned Yang and hung up the phone.

There is an ancient tomb under the hospital...... Didn't anyone find out when the hospital was built?

He frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that the whole thing was not so simple.

However, what should be done still has to be done, Wang Shitang's current situation is unknown, he still has to find Wang Shitang first.

Although I still don't know where Wang Shitang is in Zongyang, it is much easier now that I have the clues provided by Yang Yan.

……

Time flickered, and it was already past six o'clock in the evening.

Li Mourning, who was still in Linhai City in the morning, had already come to Zongyang City in Linhai Province at this time, and if it weren't for the fact that there was no online car-hailing willing to take orders so far away that he could only buy tickets from the station, he could have come a little earlier.

On the way from Linhai City, he had already found out where the old suburb that had been demolished was.

When he arrived at Zongyang Station, Li Mian first found a random place to have dinner, and after eating, he called a taxi and went directly to the old suburb.

Zongyang has also developed rapidly in recent years, because the urban area has been expanding, and the old station has just been demolished a few years ago and a new station has been built.

The new station is no longer built within the city limits, but in the southern suburbs, which makes the journey to the old suburbs longer.

In addition, it was more than six o'clock in the evening, which happened to be the rush hour for getting off work, and the road was congested, and it took nearly forty minutes to get there.

By the time we arrived at the old suburb, it was already past seven o'clock, and it was getting dark.

Most of the houses here have been knocked out of their doors and windows, leaving only empty roof trusses, and some of the weeds in those empty houses have grown to adult-height quickly, apparently sitting idle for a long time.

"Because of an unknown ancient tomb, the demolition of such a large area has been suspended...... And even the intersection is closed. ”

Li Mian looked at the scene along the way, and felt more and more that something was wrong.

Even the intersection was stopped with something, and a sign saying "Demolition site, idlers are not allowed to enter", and the taxi could not drive in, so he walked in by himself.

He hadn't heard of any road closures for demolition, and there were no high-rise buildings of the kind that were tens of meters long.

It can't be the haunted tomb, right?

Even though he is strong now, when he thinks of those unclean things, Li Mian can't help but be a little panicked.

"No...... Be on the safe side. ”

He took a look at the attribute information, and he had absorbed it from the morning until now, and now he had 330% potential.

Originally, he planned to keep the potential and use it in the new martial arts later, but now that the situation here is so weird, he is not ready to keep it anymore.

After looking at several attributes for a while, Li Mian was still ready to add to his strength.

Because the strength attribute not only refers to the size of the strength, but also represents the strength of the muscles and bones, which strengthens the strength, and he enhances not only the strength, but also the comprehensive strength of the body.

To put it simply, it is more resistant to beating, and you can save your life when you encounter danger, and you can burst out faster even if you want to run for your life.

As his mind moved, his potential quickly diminished, quickly turning from 330% to 230%.

And the power has also changed from 2.6 to 2.8.

Li Mian suddenly felt a stream of heat gushing out from the depths of his body, quickly walking all over his body, and his whole body was filled with a sense of numb comfort.

By the time the reinforcement was over, he had obviously felt that his strength had increased a lot.

Although the direct enhancement attribute is not as cost-effective as strengthening martial arts, the process is much gentler, and there is no such pain.

He didn't stop and continued to strengthen!

It was the same stream of heat, but it produced a peculiar itching sensation, like countless ants crawling in the body, and there was a crackling explosion in the body.

It was the grinding sound of the bones stretching and growing in his body.

After the second reinforcement, Li Mian felt like a hidden volcano in his body, which could erupt with devastating and terrifying power at any time.

He knew that this was an illusion created after a sudden increase in strength, so he ignored it and prepared to continue to improve.

But at this moment, he was stunned.

His stats are now 2.9 Strength, 2.4 Constitution, 1.6 Agility, 1.7 Intelligence, and 180% Potential.

According to the rules of adding points, he has undergone a second enhancement, and now his strength should be 3.0, and his potential is only 130%.

Not only that, but the plus sign after the strength has also turned gray, indicating that it cannot be promoted.

[The limit value has been reached, and it cannot be further improved]

When Li Mian focused his attention on the gray plus sign, such a piece of information appeared in his mind.

"We've reached the limit of the human body."

Li Mian frowned slightly, he had also expected to reach the limit of the human body, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and the limit value was much lower than he expected.

"The strength can no longer be improved, so which attribute will the remaining potential be improved......"

He pondered for a moment and decided to make up for his shortcomings first, that is, agility.

Agility represents the speed of nerve reaction and the coordination and balance of the body, and strengthens agility and will react faster when encountering danger.

"There is still 180% potential, less than two points, I don't know if I can add it all."

Thinking so, Li Mian had the idea of trying, and as his mind moved, he saw that his potential was decaying wildly, and it soon decayed to 0%.

At the same time, as if he had been electrocuted, his body suddenly went numb, and a strange feeling spread throughout his body.

It only lasted for a brief moment, and the feeling was gone.

Agility went from 1.6 to 2.0.

Li Mourning only felt that the world at this moment had become different from just now, everything seemed to be much slower, the light breeze blowing, the swaying weeds, and the chirping of birds......

Even the body seems to be a little lighter.

He threw a punch at random!

Boom!!

The huge force directly blasted the air, and in the astonishing explosion, a circle of transparent ripples visible to the naked eye swept away and quickly annihilated.
