- Men are always bored, making a bunch of childish looks for the sake of a little thing that doesn't matter.

Zhan Lan's gaze shifted slightly, as Zheng Zha and Zero Dian pulled Chu Xuan away. She keenly caught a certain color of schadenfreude from Jiang Yu's body.

It's on the body, not on the face.

It's the color, not the look.

Ever since he exchanged the Heart Eye, Zhan Lan's vision was no longer limited to one side of reality or spirit. Rather, at all times, the double vision is reflected on her perception.

The unreal and the real overlap each other, and the real and the false are indistinguishable from each other. Much of what you knew in the past can be seen more clearly at this moment. And more things that have not been touched in the past are now revealed.

She knew a lot of things—Zhang Jie's hidden powerful power like a mountain hanging in the air, and Chu Xuan's hidden heart like mechanical steel. Jiang Yu hides a bottomless secret fountain like a starless night sky. Compared with these, the nostalgia and sorrow in the depths of Cheng Xiao's thoughts, the dazedness and helplessness floating in Zhao Ying's hollow heart, and the remorse and self-blame that are tormenting him all the time in the depths of zero-point consciousness...... It's just little things that don't matter.

The entire Zhongzhou team, just Zheng Zha, who gave up thinking, and Mu Gang, who has already seen it, can live a relatively easy life. Li Shuaixi is an exception, he completely closes himself off, more like a machine than a human. Zhan Lan wasn't quite sure if he could see him as a member of the Middle-earth team, and he himself didn't have the heart to ask for help at all.

Everyone is tired - that's a fact. Who can come to the world of reincarnation who is not physically and mentally tortured, so as to touch the door that has been called by the Lord God?

But even everyone who is very tired still works hard to be active. Help each other and support each other. And then back to back, fighting to the end towards a common crisis.

- In this team, at least for now, there are very few people who will really make friends with other people.

- But more than half of our people, if necessary, would die for the sake of others.

That's good.

A confidant is not the same as a friend of life and death after all. Even if you are a loved one, there are some secrets that you can't pry on.

And in the open and secret battle between Jiang Yu and Zheng Zha, she is actually more optimistic about Zheng Zha.

- Jiang Yu is always calculating something, scruples, and being wary of something. He's not as smart as he seems. But he was always able to make the right decision at the right time. He is like a thunderbolt in the clouds, inscrutable but capable of bringing victory.

- And Zheng Zhe is not as stupid as he appears...... He just trusts his companions and trusts that they won't harm him. He was always one or a half beat slower than Jiang Yu. But even if it was a little slower, he was still able to deal with the unexpected variables that Jiang Yu was not able to calculate. It's like a warm sunshine, even if it can't be finalized, it will reassure those who follow it.

Those who can bring victory, and those who can bring peace of mind.

Historically, the former is the general, while the latter is the phase. If the two can be combined into one, then there is no doubt that the emperor is the king. Unfortunately, this is not the case at the moment.

- Chu Xuan?

- No, Chu Xuan can't be the captain. He's really strong, but he's ...... Forget it, anyway, he has already shown his attitude to break away from the competition between the captains. I don't need to do anything unnecessary and make things worse.

- I'd better wait quietly for the results.

Zhan Lan's thoughts flowed. Indeed, she is more optimistic about Zheng Zha. But it doesn't mean that she will support Zheng Zhe in a clear and unambiguous manner. In the absence of an overriding '100', the difference between 96 and 97 is not much. She would only wait for the results, and would not take the initiative to adjust the scales that were already tilted in favor of Jiang Yu. And whether it was before or after the decision was made, she would follow the guidance of these people.

Like, now.

"Zhan Lan." Jiang Yu seemed to be thinking—he was always thinking, thinking about some secrets that others didn't know and that he didn't want to reveal directly, or voluntarily. "Try to contact the leader of the grave keepers, we need to find out how the situation in this world is changing. But be careful, don't have direct contact with the hero and heroine, now that it's the Year of the Scorpion, even scanning them may directly trigger the side plot of the second part. By the way, take a look at the Hamna Tower and see if anything unexpected happens there. ”

"Understood." Zhan Lan nodded and accepted the commission.

- Excuse, you don't really care about the current situation.

- You're more concerned about that 'by the way'. Do you care about Hamnata...... Yes, you paid special attention to the Resurrection Altar when you were targeting the Tower of Hamna...... But the role of that altar is only to allow Immorton to resurrect Ansuna, at most, it is only to count the content of the second part, to be able to spy on Ansuna's fate.

INTERVIEWER Does it really have a big effect on us...... Do you think that we need to cooperate with the Golden Sutra of the Sun, which can only be used to cast spells, in order to have the effect of resurrecting the dead? But in the original book, when Immorton resurrected Ansuna, he obviously used the Black Sutra of the Undead.

Thoughts turned.

Even if he could clearly see the suspicions, Zhan Lan had no intention of delving into the roots, or disobeying the yang. Jiang Yu's decision is reasonable, as for his words...... It was his own problem, and that of his language teacher.

Zhan Lan's spiritual power stretched in all directions.

At the same time as exchanging the Heart Eye, her bonus points that were abundant due to team battles also got a suitable place - most of them turned into her mental power attributes, pushing her to a full fifteen hundred points in one of the six dimensions.

It's not a lot, according to the way mental power is converted. The limit of her mental power scanning is about 1,500 kilometers.

But after opening her heart eyes, her mental strength and quality have been greatly improved. Even if she couldn't use it completely, the breadth of the mental power scan doubled.

Fifteen hundred kilometers turned into three thousand kilometers. It's still not enough to cover Africa, but it's not much of a stretch if you include only North Africa.

- Let's go and see the place Jiang Yu cares about first.

The first place that the spiritual power locked on was the Hamna Tower, which Zhan Lan remembered and so arrived at it. And when her gaze fell from the heights of the Hamna Tower. She noticed some subtle changes.

Around the Tower of Hamna, there are traces of battles - not the city where the reincarnations fought, but the desert beyond the city of the dead. There are powerful forces that have once created conflicts here. They have turned kilometers of desertification into the Gobi Desert and opened up a not small fissure canyon.

It's a very powerful force, and if you don't rely on props, I'm afraid the reincarnators won't be able to do it.

But in the end, it should be the Grave Keeper's side that wins, as the outer shield of the Tower of Hamna has been re-laid. And in a hidden mountain not far away, she saw a black-clad sentry of the grave keeper stationed there.

Approximate to the beginning of the second part.

- Sometimes, I really can't figure it out...... At the opening of the second part, the grave keeper apparently discovered the excavation of Hamna Tower by Ansuna and his party. But they still let them dig out Immorton, resurrect the Demon Scorpion Emperor, and then bury all the unknown number of companions in the confrontation with the Reaper Legion...... Are their heads pumped? Or have they forgotten about their own Hamnata grave keepers, not Immorton's executioners and jailers?

- Or is there some kind of hidden external force in this?

Zhan Lan glanced at the traces of war outside the City of the Dead. I feel that my conjecture is very reliable. It seems that the three background board forces did not do nothing after the reincarnation left. And if the guess is true, then in this trip to the Scorpion King, the reincarnators may not be lonely.

- More intelligence is needed.

She glanced at the interior of the Hamna Tower, and as always, she couldn't see the deepest place where the resurrection altar was placed. But since the shielding area of spiritual power still exists here. That means that the treasures hidden inside the temple have not been lost.

It's okay to get here first.

Zhan Lan's spiritual power jumped, and soon, she was able to locate the stronghold of the tomb keeper. After a little search, Eddie, the leader of the grave keepers, who happened to be not out, came into her eyes.

She politely knocked on the door of Eddie's heart.

In the reality of the leader of the grave keepers, Zhan Lan's form, which only existed in his cognition, also appeared inside the heavily defended fortress. The door to the chief's office.

"Long time no see, Mr. Addy." Zhan Lan's phantom walked up to him and sat gracefully in the chair of the guest. "Judging by the look on your face, you don't seem surprised by my visit."

"I'm not surprised." The leader of the grave keepers nodded, a friendly smile. "This year is the Year of the Scorpion. And you took the Spear of Osiris eight years ago, and inherited the fate of the Spearbearer—fate will guide you to the right test at the right time. And I'm glad you didn't choose to run away. ”

"We have a lot of things that we want to know." Zhan Lan's figure leaned forward slightly. "Moreover, we may not really face the Demon Scorpion Emperor."

"But you're already paying attention to it, aren't you?" The grave keeper smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhan Lan. "Everything you want to know, I can tell you."

"After all, you have already carried the mission of the gods on your shoulders."

……………………

Jiang Yu stared at the roughly formed temporary camp in front of him, and felt very satisfied in his heart. The project is still secondary, but the use of Thor's power has become more proficient. Shaping out of the body or something, as long as you work hard, it's not impossible to do that kind of thing.

- Sure enough, I'm gifted in the field of superpowers.

- Then, then, you just need to hone a little in this side quest......

And there was some movement. Jiang Yu turned his head and saw Zhan Lan's face cloudy—it didn't look like something bad had happened. On the contrary, it is as if I have encountered some kind of major problem, and it is difficult to decide for a while.

"Zhan Lan?" He subconsciously asked. "...... over there"

“…… Well, I'm in. The gloom on Zhan Lan's face dissipated. I've found the grave keeper. The communication was also smooth. Merely...... It seems like something unexpected. ”

She raised her head and looked at Jiang Yu. "We might be going to participate in the Divine War in this world."

"What!?" Jiang Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Zhan Lan with a shocked expression!
