The giant snake's ability to transform into a dragon failed. The moment its inner elixir exploded, thousands of golden rains shot out in all directions. No one noticed that one of the golden lights flew into the distance.
The golden light penetrated countless trees and fell to the ground. A dazzling golden bead rolled down to Chen Nan's feet. He could see everything clearly. He squatted down excitedly and picked up the golden bead. The golden bead was shining.
The colors flowed, and the peaceful light emitted made him feel comfortable. Regarding the legend of dragons, Chen Nan knew very well, and the golden beads in front of him had no secrets to him.
Although the giant snake failed to transform into a dragon, it has reached the half-dragon state after all. The power contained in its body is half of the attributes of the snake and half of the attributes of the dragon. The exploding inner elixir was transformed by the essence of its body and concentrated
The essence of its body was half snake essence and half dragon essence. When the inner elixir exploded, all the snake essence dissipated in the air, but the dragon essence did not dissipate. The pure dragon essence gathered together to form the dragon ball.
"Dragon Ball, this is really a Dragon Ball!" Chen Nan exclaimed.
Although the Dragon Ball is small in size, it contains pure and powerful dragon power. It is a priceless treasure.
Chen Nan is very clear about the function of this bead. Within an hour, the dragon bead is activated. If it is swallowed at this time and withstands the strong impact of the dragon power, then the person who swallows the dragon bead can absorb the ten
The essence of three and four achieves supreme power. If the dragon bead is not swallowed by any person or animal within an hour, it will quickly lose its luster, and all the powerful dragon power will be concentrated into the core of the bead. The dragon bead will
The outer layer of the dragon ball will become extremely hard and cannot be broken by non-immortal treasure-level weapons, which means that the powerful dragon power in the dragon ball cannot be absorbed at will.
Thousands of years ago, Chen Nan's family background determined that he must become a strong man, but his cultivation level has never been improved, and his low skill is the source of his pain. He has always longed to gain powerful power, and now the opportunity is right in front of him.
But he hesitated, not because he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the powerful dragon force and explode to death. At this time, he remembered a conversation between his father and him.
Chen Zhan said: "The treasures of heaven and earth may allow a person to gain great power in an instant and become a peerless master. But with every gain comes a loss. When he gets the coveted skill, it also means he will lose it forever."
He is qualified to be the strongest. The power obtained from the outside world constrains the development of his own strength, and it is a shackle that he can never break through."
Chen Nan said: "Even if you can't become the strongest, it would be nice to have the opportunity to become a peerless master."
Chen Zhan said: "A person who can withstand the powerful spiritual impact of heavenly materials and earthly treasures must be extraordinary. In addition to having a superb physique, he must also have an unyielding heart. How can such a person endure forever?"
Suffering without hope will eventually lead to self-destruction.”
Chen Nan said: "It won't be so extreme, right?"
Chen Zhan said: "Strong people are not afraid of loneliness, but are afraid of being stagnant forever in the pursuit of strength."
Although Chen Nan did not fully agree with his father Chen Zhan's views, he also felt that they made sense.
"Swallow it, maybe I will become a strong person in an instant, or maybe I will explode and die immediately, but in either case, I will lose the qualification to become the strongest person."
Chen Nan laughed at himself: "For people like me whose martial arts have stagnated, maybe swallowing the dragon ball is the best choice. After all, this is an opportunity for a carp to leap over the dragon's gate."
"Is this a gift from God to me?"
Chen Nan looked down at the glowing dragon ball in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "But I am really unwilling! I, Chen Nan, don't need a 'gift'!"
Looking back on the past, Chen Nan felt a little disappointed.
Before he was sixteen years old, he was praised as a martial arts genius. His martial arts skills improved rapidly and he was called the "first person" among his peers. However, this was the beginning of his nightmare. No matter how hard he worked, his skills could no longer be improved.
He couldn't improve, and even his family's Xuan Gong fell from the Mahayana realm of the second heaven to the intermediate realm of the first heaven. Seeing his peers surpassing him one by one, he felt extremely disappointed and bitter.
.Although he vaguely guessed that the sharp decline in martial arts cultivation was related to some "external factors", he was troubled by his inability to find out the truth.
After the halo of genius faded, countless voices of ridicule came from behind, but he could not say anything. The public opinion of the outside world, the family's mission... the huge pressure was like a heavy mountain pressing on his heart.
His incompetent performance made him feel that he was a mediocre person and did not deserve to be born into such a family.
From the age of sixteen to twenty, he felt that life was very tiring, and even had the idea of committing suicide. During this period, his heart was full of confusion. But there was always a belief in the deepest part of his heart. He firmly believed that sooner or later, one day
Being able to break through the shackles and break the current barriers to practice is what motivates him to continue practicing the mystical skills passed down from his family.
Reborn after ten thousand years, Chen Nan's martial arts skills have still not improved at all, but the heavy pressure from his family has completely disappeared. After a year of adjustment, he has integrated into the current society. He has been freed from the pain of the past.
, restored its original nature.
"Maybe I missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity today, but I will never regret it!"
The dragon pearl that originally had flowing brilliance gradually dimmed, and finally the light was completely restrained, and the color changed from golden to green, becoming an ordinary pearl.
Chen Nan put the dragon ball away and returned along the original road. He didn't want to stop for a moment, for fear of being entangled by the little devil princess behind him. He climbed up a high mountain and looked from a distance. The little princess and others were still at the crater.
He let out a long breath and said: "Huh~~ I finally get rid of this little devil's nightmare."
Chen Nan had been wandering around the mountains for three days. He found out to his embarrassment that he was lost. The endless mountains were endless. If he could not find his way back, he would have no choice but to become a savage in the mountains.
A wisp of light smoke curled up from the distant mountain forest. Chen Nan was overjoyed and moved forward to look for it. He stopped a hundred feet away from the light smoke. He did not dare to rush forward rashly, in case it was the little princess and her group.
, he will die without a burial place.
After careful investigation, he finally determined that this was a group of strangers who seemed to be trying to find their way to the mountain. For the next two days, he quietly followed this group of people.
But good luck always seemed to elude Chen Nan. On the afternoon of the third day, as he was following the group of people unhurriedly, seven or eight figures suddenly sprang out from all around him, surrounding him. From then on.
It can be seen from their sharp eyes that each of them is a master, and the cold murderous aura emanating from them can be imagined that each of them has experienced a life-and-death battle.
All the people in front turned back, there were about twenty people in total, the leader was a young man, he looked quite handsome, and there was a faint domineering air about him. He looked Chen Nan up and down, frowned and said: "
Who are you? Why are you following us sneakily?"
Chen Nan explained: "I am a lost hunter, and I want to follow you out of this mountain."
"How dare a hunter go into the depths of this mountain range?"
"I came here unknowingly while hunting a white deer, and I couldn't find my way back."
The young master pointed to a burly man next to him: "You, come on."
From the tone of his commanding his subordinates, it can be seen that he is a person who is accustomed to giving orders. Chen Nan guessed that this young master must be a person with a great background.
The big man held a big sword in his hand, which was wide and long. He walked over and slashed at Chen Nan. Chen Nan hurriedly dodged to the side, and the big man slashed the air with one sword. The second sword came again, and the sword body triggered a wave.
The light cyan light slashed diagonally at Chen Nan's waist and abdomen.
Chen Nan shouted in his heart: No way, the actual sword energy! Isn't this a master-level master! How can such a person be willing to be someone else's subordinate?
Shocked, he still dodged away as soon as possible.
"Chi"
The light cyan sharp edge carved a shallow groove on the ground.
Chen Nan felt very strange. The power of the physical sword energy could not be so small. Even the ordinary sword energy was much stronger than this sword.
"Is it the fighting spirit of the West?" He confirmed his thoughts after carefully looking at the big man's sword-drawing posture.
The big man's fierce chops came again, and Chen Nan was forced to fight with the big man. The fighting spirit increased one after another, and the light green edge put Chen Nan in danger.
The young man standing nearby sneered: "Do ordinary hunters have such good martial arts? If you don't tell the truth, you will die without a burial place after ten moves."
Chen Nan hurriedly shouted: "Stop, I said."
The young master clapped his hands and said, "Stop."
The big man put away his sword and stood up, and said to Chen Nan: "Okay, boy, you actually took more than twenty moves from me."
Chen Nan sighed softly in the mainland Chinese spoken thousands of years ago: "No matter which era, the strong are respected. After my martial arts skills decline, I am destined to experience all kinds of unpleasant things. I will be bullied by dogs when I fall flat!"
He thought quickly and said: "Sir, if I say that I am an ordinary hunter who has learned martial arts, you will not believe me, but I can prove it to you."
The young master said: "How do you prove it?"
"I am a hunter, and of course I prove it with my abilities as a hunter." Chen Nan bent down, grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, put it to his nose, smelled it, and said, "I'm sure there is only one within three miles.
Except for tigresses, there are no other large beasts."
"Oh, are you really sure?" the young master asked.
"I am sure."
"Okay, Yang Chong, take a few people to the area to have a look."
A young man responded: "Yes." He led a few people and searched deeper into the woods.
Just during tea time, a tiger roar came from the distance. After a while, several people dragged back a dead tiger.
The young man glanced at the dead tiger, smiled faintly, and said: "It seems like you are really a hunter, but I still have some questions. It would take three days at the fastest to get out of the mountains from here. Did you chase that white tiger?"
Does the deer live for three days and three nights?" After saying this, the young man's tone turned cold and he shouted: "Tie him up."
Several masters rushed forward and pressed their sharp blades against Chen Nan's vital points. If he wanted to fight against so many masters alone, it would undoubtedly be like a worm shaking a tree, so he did not resist. He smiled bitterly in his heart. The little princess had just escaped.
The claws of others have become the captives of others.
One of the young master's subordinates said: "Third... Third Young Master, why did you tie him up and just kill him?"
Chen Nan could already hear some "taste" from the incoherent words of "Third Young Master", and was even more certain that this person was by no means an ordinary person.
The young master said: "Let's take him into custody first. I feel that this man is unusual. Before anyone took action against him, I didn't realize that he was a warrior."
Chen Nan began his second life as a captive, but this time his "treatment" was obviously much better than the first time. At least no one treated him as private property and "expressed their excitement" to him from time to time. This group of people
He is very disciplined and has no unnecessary words. Only the young master occasionally whispers a few words to the people next to him.
Two days later, Chen Nan had to lament the magic of fate. He actually saw the little princess again. Now there were only ten people left in the little princess's group. A total of four guards and two trainee magicians died in the process of fighting the giant snake.
The survivors were all seriously injured and have not recovered yet.
When the little princess saw the young master and his group, she was startled. She frowned slightly, but immediately showed a bright smile: "Tianyuan Continent is so small. I didn't expect to meet His Highness the Third Prince here."
The young master also had a smile on his face: "Yes, I didn't expect to see Her Royal Highness Princess Yu here."
The little princess smiled and said: "The third prince is not enjoying the blessings in the imperial city of the Moon Worshiping Kingdom, so why did he come to the border of our Chu Kingdom? Do you want to go as an envoy to our country? It seems that you don't have to go to the mountains to be an envoy to our country."
Chen Nan, who was not far away, heard clearly and couldn't help but feel a little bit. In the past few days, in the vast mountains, a princess and a prince actually arrived.
The third prince said: "Princess Yu's words are still so sharp. I can't bear the big label of 'intruding into the borders of other countries at will'. If I remember correctly, this mountain range in the central part of Tianyuan Continent should not belong to any country."
Bar."
The little princess said: "His Royal Highness, the Third Prince, has so many things to do, why would he come here for no reason? After all, this place is close to the border of our country of Chu, which makes people suspicious."
The third prince laughed, "Haha, Princess Yu is overthinking. In fact, the main reason why I came here this time is because I heard that a Qilin beast appeared in the Luofeng Mountains. I wanted to try my luck to see the legendary beast.
.”
The little princess said: "Oh, that's it. I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. Even the third prince in the Moon Worshiping Kingdom knew about it."
The third prince said: "It is said that the Qilin appears, the saint appears, and the divine beast appears, which has shocked the world. This matter has been spread all over the mainland."
The little princess sighed: "Oh! I really want to see what that unicorn looks like, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance."
The third prince wondered: "Why did Her Royal Highness say this?"
"We met my master on the way to the Luofeng Mountains. He said it was too dangerous and drove me back. What a disappointment!" The little princess looked indignant.
A gleam flashed in the third prince's eyes and he said, "Could it be Senior Zhuge Chengfeng?"
"That's the old man."
"Senior Zhuge is famous all over the world, and his martial arts skills are extraordinary and holy. He is one of the senior masters I admire the most."
"Really, if that old man hears it, he will definitely be very happy, and he might even accept you as his disciple."
"If that's the case, I can't ask for anything more."
The little princess smiled and said: "Maybe this old man has heard it and is now hesitating whether to really accept you as his disciple."
A look of surprise flashed across the third prince's face, and he said with a smile: "Haha, how could it be possible? Senior Zhuge has already rushed to the Luofeng Mountains, hasn't he? Even if senior has martial arts skills, he can't hear anything hundreds of kilometers away.
words?"
The little princess angrily said, "This old man is worried. He is afraid that I will sneak back again. He has been following me on the road."
"Oh, it seems that the old man really cares for you and is afraid that something might happen to you." The third prince smiled.
"You clearly don't trust me."
The third prince looked at the little princess's bodyguards and said, "Princess Yu, are your men injured? Why are they all so pale?"
"Yes, we met an ancient giant on the way to the Luofeng Mountains. Fortunately, the old man arrived immediately, otherwise it would have been really dangerous." The little princess looked scared.
"What a blessing! Well, this mountain range is often infested by monsters. You can't do it without some experts to protect you. Otherwise, I will escort you out of the mountain." The third prince looked sincere.
A cold light flashed in the little princess's eyes, and she said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, Third Prince. No need to trouble you. My old ghost master will take good care of us."
"Your Highness Princess Yu, there is no need to be polite to me. If something like this happens, I will escort Her Highness out regardless of circumstances. Besides, Senior Zhuge may not really follow you."
"I appreciate the Third Prince's kindness. We really don't need you to escort us. This place is already at the edge of the mountains, and there are almost no monsters."
"No, I must escort you out, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
Seeing that she could no longer refuse, the little princess showed gratitude on her face and said, "Then there will be Prince Lao."
"Princess Yu, you are too polite."
Chen Nan saw all this clearly and secretly sighed that the two of them deserved to be born into a feuding imperial family. In just a few moments, they had completed a "heart battle".
When the little princess led a group of seriously injured guards to meet the third prince of the Moon Worship Kingdom, she felt quite uneasy. She did not believe that this was a chance encounter. The most likely possibility was that the other prince had already been guarding him here. In order to protect herself, she first took the initiative to attack in an aggressive manner.
, which made the third prince confused about her reality, and then unintentionally brought Zhuge Chengfeng out, which made the third prince feel quite fearful. However, the third prince was by no means an ordinary person. Although he was frightened and doubtful, he did not back down.
, but wanted to follow along and further explore the truth. These two people can be said to be "full of lies" and "nonsense."
The third prince and the little princess walked together to the outside of the mountain. Chen Nan walked behind the team and secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, the third prince entangled the little princess so that the little princess did not notice that he was hiding behind the team. But the good times did not end.
Long, the guards under the little devil quickly discovered his bound prisoner, and one of the guards ran forward and whispered a few words to the little devil.
At that moment, Chen Nan felt that darkness enveloped the earth and the sky lost its color.
The little princess was full of excitement and walked towards Chen Nan with a smile. There was no doubt that this was the most real expression she had seen since meeting the third prince, but Chen Nan would rather see her fake smile than see her.
A smile from the heart at this time.
He shouted in his heart: The demons of hell will take your descendants away!
At first, the third prince couldn't understand why the little princess of Chu suddenly became excited. He couldn't help but secretly wonder if Zhuge Chengfeng had arrived not far away. Later, he followed the little princess's gaze and finally found Ling Xiao.
The "source" of the princess's excitement turned out to be the prisoner captured the day before yesterday.
The third prince was shocked and began to have random suspicions about Chen Nan's identity. He coughed and said: "This man has been following us sneakily on the road. Later, he was caught by my men. Your Highness the Princess knows this man."
?"
"I know you, of course I know you." The little princess gritted her teeth and said, "He is the little eunuch who was brought out from my palace. He came out to serve me. Unexpectedly, when he met the ancient giant, he ran away first. Little Lizi
You didn’t expect to see me so soon, did you?”
Chen Nan almost fainted, being called a eunuch.
The little princess stared at him fiercely, the meaning of which was obvious, threatening and intimidating him to cooperate.
People were under the eaves and had to lower their heads. Chen Nan hesitated for a moment, and finally said helplessly: "Your Highness, please punish me."
The third prince smiled and said: "Since you are Princess Yu's slave, please let Your Highness take care of yourself." After that, he turned and left.
"Hehehe..." The little princess looked at Chen Nan with a smile on her face.
Chen Nan's body felt chilly, and he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, let's make a deal."
The little princess remembered Chen Nan's dirty words before, and her body trembled with anger, and she screamed: "Made a deal with me? Why do you want it? You can just dream."
"Zhuge Chengfeng is actually not here, and the third prince wants to deal with you." Chen Nan said this quickly before the little devil's palm fell.
The little princess put down her raised palm, looked at him carefully, and said: "It seems that I really underestimated you. I didn't expect that you, a stinky thief, still have some brains. But————
I’m very unhappy right now, the transaction has been delayed, and now I want to vent!”
"Ah..." Chen Nan's miserable cry rang out in the forest, mixed with the proud laughter of the little devil princess. The third prince and others in the distance looked at each other, gaining a better understanding of this rumored little witch.
A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the bright moonlight shines in the forest in large areas like white feathers. The night wind blows, blowing the fragrance of flowers and plants, and the entire mountain forest is shrouded in the water-like moonlight. Looking from a distance
Plain, hazy, harmonious and tranquil.
Chen Nan, who had a bruised nose and face, was exchanging opinions in a low voice with the little devil princess in a tent. The two of them had determined that meeting the third prince and others in the forest was no accident. All of this was premeditated. These people had already been waiting on this road to leave the mountain.
on the way.
The little princess said: "I had an intuition from the beginning that they were going to do something bad to me, but I didn't understand why they had such a motive."
Chen Nan said: "What is the relationship between the Moon Worshiping Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom?"
The little princess said: "The relationship between the two countries has been relatively good in recent years, and nothing unpleasant has happened."
"That's weird. If that's the case, why do they want to do harm to the princess?" Chen Nan pondered for a while, then laughed and said, "I understand, they want to rob her here."
"Go to hell." The little princess punched Chen Nan hard on the head.
Chen Nan was in pain and cried out in a low voice: "Aren't I helping Her Highness analyze it? How could Her Royal Highness be so excited? Besides, it's not impossible."
"You don't have to think about this aspect. Everyone knows that this third prince is not a person who lives a corrupt life."
Chen Nan said: "Maybe... maybe he wants to give Her Royal Highness the Princess as a gift to others."
Hearing Chen Nan compare her to a gift, the little devil princess widened her eyes angrily and said in a cold voice: "You scum are so unpleasant to talk to. Don't you know who you are talking to?" But then she quickly calmed down.
, pondered for a moment, and said: "The possibility is almost zero."
"This is strange. Apart from Her Royal Highness, what else can make the Third Prince take risks? Wait..."
"Hou Yi's bow!"
"Hou Yi's bow!"
Chen Nan and the little princess shouted together, and they woke up at the same time.
"When Her Royal Highness the Princess shot the giant snake with Hou Yi's bow, the third prince must have seen it when the golden arrow pierced the sky."
"No wonder this guy always glances at the box behind me. He's actually thinking about our national treasure, Hou Yi's bow. Damn it." The little princess clenched her fists and said, "You scum, you haven't figured it out yet.
A countermeasure?"
"You can't blame me. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw. Her Royal Highness's bodyguards have all been seriously injured. Now there are no available soldiers. What can I do? I think it's better to give Hou Yi's bow directly to the third prince. This is called knowing the current affairs.
That's why...hehe." Seeing a sneer on the little devil princess's lips, Chen Nan quickly stopped talking and started laughing.
"You're a scumbag who kept talking so loudly during the day that you wanted to make a deal with me, but in the end you couldn't help me with anything. Hehe, that's fine, I can take care of you without any worries. You don't know how hard it has been for me to find you in the past two days.
, I wish I could skin you right away."
Looking at the evil smile of the little princess, Chen Nan couldn't help but shudder, "Your Highness, I didn't mean to peek at you when you... came out of the bath..."
After hearing these words, the little princess's eyes almost burst into flames, "Ah, you damn scum, you dare to mention... I will kill you!"
