Dragon's Origin

Chapter 156: Never Do What You're Told Not To Do (Part 1)

Wang Sheng didn't tell them how to prepare, but merely described the limited deaths of those experts who had followed him into the Thousand Absolutes Land. This was enough to make the ten guys, who thought they were fully prepared to enter, realize that they were actually completely unprepared.

It was a long time after Wang Sheng left that the people present slowly began to take action. Including the head steward, they were truly frightened by the terrible situation inside the Thousand Absolutes Land as described by Wang Sheng.

None of them had ever ventured deep into the Thousand Absolutes Land, so they didn't know what it was like inside. From Wang Sheng's few words, everyone managed to glean a little bit of information. But this was far from enough, only the tip of the iceberg.

What Wang Sheng said at most made people understand that the preparations they had made before were very incomplete, from food and water to clothing protection to weapons to pills, and even psychological preparation, none of it was up to par.

After understanding this, all parties immediately sought out experienced old hunters from various channels to consult on wilderness survival experience and re-prepare.

When buying some necessities at Baoqing Yu Tang, people occasionally heard the shopkeeper mention that Wang Sheng had once used Baoqing Yu Tang's channels to invite a grandmaster from Linglong Pavilion to make a complete set of clothes and boots. As soon as this news spread, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone.

All parties approached Baoqing Yu Tang, wanting to know what Wang Sheng had customized at the time. Baoqing Yu Tang did not hide anything, and after receiving a small consultation fee, Wang Sheng's complete set of protective armor design was exposed to everyone.

Outer clothing and pants made of sturdy sixth-level monster beast skin, boots made of fifth-level monster beast skin and bone plates, a design that could completely seal the body. Although Wang Sheng didn't customize the head and neck protection, his helmet, goggles, and hard mask had been seen and described by others.

In fact, Baoqing Yu Tang was fully authorized by Wang Sheng to dare to make these things public. Part of the revenue was to be shared with Wang Sheng.

All parties were ecstatic, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of Wang Sheng's equipment. There was definitely not enough time to rush it out in the next few days, so they could only buy it from Baoqing Yu Tang at a high price.

What was strange was that Baoqing Yu Tang made a lot of business, but Yu Bao Zhai didn't seem to have any movement. Even Wang Sheng was a little surprised. He had greeted the shopkeeper of Yu Bao Zhai before, and it seemed that the shopkeepers of Yu Bao Zhai and Baoqing Yu Tang had come to his door together.

Wang Sheng had already nodded, but Yu Bao Zhai did nothing, so it was not Wang Sheng's problem. Wang Sheng wouldn't pay attention to these things. He just had to wait until the time came, then take people and leave, ignoring everything else.

I must say, what Wang Sheng had explained to those ten people before was a bit appalling. During these five days, in addition to preparing equipment that met Wang Sheng's requirements, all parties invited some old hunters with rich mountain forest experience to teach everyone how to survive in the jungle.

It's true that you don't know until you learn, and you're shocked when you learn. It wasn't until they learned many taboos from the old hunters that all parties, from top to bottom, realized how wrong and outrageous their previous idea that as long as their cultivation was high, they could enter and exit the Thousand Absolutes Land.

If they had known this earlier and paid attention to these things earlier, perhaps the experts who had entered the Thousand Absolutes Land to explore for generations would not have died so many, maybe one or two of them could have been lucky enough to enter and exit, and so on, maybe a lot, but everyone understood that there was no 'what if' in this world.

"Boy, aren't you afraid that they will learn something from those old hunters and then ditch you?" The old eunuch was waiting to see the results, so the royal family didn't arrange any manpower at the beginning. Now that he knew a lot of news, he talked to Wang Sheng while drinking.

"Think you can enter and exit the Thousand Absolutes Land after learning a few tricks from the old hunters?" Wang Sheng clinked a cup with the old eunuch and laughed disdainfully: "How many of them go in and how many can't come out, do you want to bet?"

Did they really think that they could ignore the Thousand Absolutes Land with a little bit of old hunter's skills? Others dare not say, but take Wang Sheng himself as an example. He had scientifically received wilderness survival training and had good cultivation, but if there was no combat awareness villain to warn him in the Thousand Absolutes Land, he would have died many times.

Wang Sheng couldn't wait for those people to imagine the Thousand Absolutes Land to be simpler, so that they could highlight their importance in the future. Unfortunately, there are no fools in this world.

With Wang Sheng's promise and already collected reward for leading the way, why would all parties blindly explore? Wouldn't it be better to follow Wang Sheng in and out for a round first? Anyway, they had already waited for five hundred years, so they didn't care about a few months sooner or later.

Five days passed quickly. When Wang Sheng arrived at the City Lord's Mansion on the morning of the sixth day, he saw ten people wearing almost the same equipment as Wang Sheng. There were no zippers, but several layers of buttons, and the boots also used laces, all high-top with excellent protection.

"Very good!" Wang Sheng was finally satisfied, at least satisfied with the clothing protection.

Everyone carried a two-foot-long jungle knife, which Wang Sheng requested, and they also carried small knives. Long weapons and their own handy weapons were not placed outside, either stored in their respective storage rings, or abandoned in favor of handy short weapons.

They must have brought enough food and water, and as much wound medicine and detoxification pills as they could carry, eating and drinking utensils, salt, rope, fire knives, flints, and fire tinder were not left out by anyone. They dared not say that the equipment was sophisticated, but at least it looked like it was.

"Next, we will simply adapt to the ten-mile radius outside the city." Wang Sheng had said this before, and now that he repeated it, no one refuted it. It was also a good thing to adapt in advance, and all parties were not so foolish as to not know what was good for them.

The people in the team were from different forces. After a few days of simple running-in, they dared not ask to reach the level of tacit understanding of Wang Sheng's combat team on Earth, but at least they had to understand the division of labor and cooperation.

"I reiterate again, you don't have to do what I want you to do if you don't want to." Wang Sheng said this again in front of many people on the city wall outside the city gate: "But you must never do what I don't want you to do, did you hear that?"

"Understood!" Several uneven responses sounded, and Wang Sheng could hear that some people were still unconvinced.
