Chen Nan stumbled back to the inn in the middle of the night. He was seriously injured by the powerful swings from the water monster. After entering the room, he began to meditate and adjust his breath. He did not stop until the sky was almost bright.
Although his injuries were not completely healed, they were mostly healed. The pain in his chest and abdomen was no longer as painful as before. He fell on the bed and fell asleep due to fatigue.
It was already past noon when Chen Nan opened his eyes again. He went down to the ground to wash up and then exercised and adjusted his breathing again. After a long time, he opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
"I didn't expect that the bottom of the lake would be so dangerous. There would be evil monsters, ginseng mushrooms, and fairy grass. It's just that there would be spiritual beasts guarding them. There would also be monsters appearing next to dead objects such as sacred bones and precious jade. It's really unreasonable!"
He took off the jade Ruyi from his neck and looked at it carefully in the palm of his hand. The small and exquisite jade Ruyi was crystal clear and extremely delicate. There was a tiny hole at the end of its handle, and a transparent silk thread passed through it, making it a
Pendant accessories can be carried with you.
"What a top-quality gem! How can I exchange it for tens of thousands of gold coins when I have no money to spend?"
If these words were heard by the old man in the jade shop, he would be furious. Such beautiful jade is absolutely priceless in the eyes of connoisseurs.
"This is a treasure that two ancient gods died for, but I don't see anything special about this jade Ruyi?" Chen Nan turned it over and looked at it. In addition to confirming that it is a jade treasure, Chen Nan
, and did not find any mystery in it.
"Things that can be favored by gods are definitely extraordinary, but what is so strange about it? This transparent silk thread is also weird. It has been soaked in water for thousands of years and has not rotted. It's strange!" He pinched the thread with both hands.
He tried to apply more force to the silk thread, but it did not change at all in the process. In the end, he used Xuan Gong to tear it hard and could not break the thread.
"You're so good, even this thread is a treasure." Chen Nan held Yu Ruyi in his hand and squeezed it a little harder. A holy light suddenly came out from between his fingers, which really shocked him.
, he hurriedly let go of his hand, and Yu Ruyi returned to her original appearance after falling on the bed.
Chen Nan tried to hold it in his hand again. This time he applied force bit by bit, and little rays of light suddenly appeared between his fingers. At the same time, he felt that the power in his hand was being sucked away by Yu Ruyi.
When he used all the power in his body to hold Yu Ruyi tightly, the light in the room shone brightly, and it was like a small sun in his palm. At the same time, he felt that all the power in his body surged towards Yu Ruyi like a tide, and he broke into a cold sweat.
, and hurriedly stopped the operation of Xuan Gong.
"What a strange piece of jade, it can actually attract people's skills!" At this time, he was sure that the exquisite jade Ruyi was definitely an extraordinary thing. He then studied it for a long time, but found nothing else strange.
"Strange, last night I felt a call even though we were so far away. Why can't I feel it now that I'm so close?"
Chen Nan had vaguely guessed last night that it might be because he was resurrected from the cemetery of ancient gods and demons, and his body was somewhat contaminated with the aura left by the gods and demons, so he was able to interact with the jade Ruyi left by the ancient gods.
He had always suspected and guessed the reason why he could be resurrected, so he wanted to find out everything about the ancient gods. But no matter how hard he tried to sense it, Yu Ruyi no longer had the slightest fluctuation, and there was no trace of yesterday.
He called out intermittently late that night.
Echoing all the experiences last night, Chen Nan was a little confused. When he relaxed his mind, he seemed to vaguely hear a woman's voice calling intermittently.
He vaguely remembered something like: "I...want...to...see...the sky...sun..."
Chen Nan looked at Yu Ruyi, with a look of surprise on his face. He was no longer sure whether it was his hallucination or whether he really heard a woman's voice.
In the center of the ruins of the War of Gods, the previously dry lake valley was rippling with blue water overnight. This news quickly spread back to the Sin City, causing a sensation throughout the city. Not only did all the cultivators in the city rush there, but even many civilians couldn't bear it.
I was curious and rushed to see the "miracle".
Kamikaze Academy also dispatched a large number of masters, hoping to gain something from the ruins of the Divine War.
After hearing the news, the only guy who could keep calm touched Yu Ruyi in his clothes and laughed. He walked into a restaurant calmly and had a big meal.
After dinner, Chen Nan went to a teahouse and opened a private room. He lay on the wicker chair and narrowed his eyes comfortably. He quietly listened to the conversations of the tea guests outside the private room.
Traveling from south to north, no matter the wind or grass, this kind of place is the most well-informed, and all the big and small things in Sin City will be spread here as soon as possible.
"Do you know that something big happened in the Ancient God battlefield fifty miles north of the city? The dry lake valley turned into a swamp overnight."
"I found out early in the morning. The news was out of date. I also knew there was a water monster in that lake."
"What's going on? Let me tell you."
"Not only are there water monsters, but there is also the broken left hand of the ancient god..."
"Hey, let me tell you, you're trying to whet our appetites, so tell me quickly."
"I have a brother who came back from the ruins of the God War. He said that the pot is about to boil over there. The light at the bottom of the newly appeared small lake flashes. It is speculated that it is the left hand of the ancient god and an unidentified mysterious treasure. Many people rushed to jump
Go down, but no one can resurface."
"Ah, what's going on?"
"Those people were all eaten by the water monster. What a terrifying water monster! It has the body of a snake and a fish's tail. It has a single horn on its head. Each one is three feet long and as thin as a bucket. After opening its bloody mouth, it can even swallow pigs and sheep.
It’s scary to think about going down there.”
"No one can deal with it?"
"It's hard to deal with. Those cultivators may be strong on land, but when they get to the water, they are at a loss and cannot display their abilities. Besides, the water monster is no ordinary thing. It is extremely powerful and as ferocious as a snake, and
It also discharges electricity, making it unavoidable in the water. Many practitioners who jumped into the lake were first stunned and then eaten by water monsters."
"What a scary water monster!"
"Yes, I have only killed six water monsters so far, but it seems that there are countless water monsters in the lake."
"Why are there so many water monsters? Did that small lake really appear out of thin air?"
"Of course not. According to the experts at the scene, there may be an underground lake under the original valley. This time the valley collapse exposed the underground lake. There is a secret passage between the underground lake and the river not far away. Those water monsters are very powerful.
It may have sneaked in from the river over the past thousands of years and used it as a nest."
"horrible……"
…
After this group of people left, another group of tea guests came not long after, and everyone was talking about the small lake that appeared overnight.
Chen Nan learned the latest news from these people's mouths, and he was aware of every change in the ruins of the God War.
From the conversations of those people, it can be heard that it is not that no one can sneak into the bottom of the lake to retrieve the sacred bones and mysterious treasures, but everyone is waiting and watching, fearing that if they succeed in fighting the water monster and successfully retrieve the treasures, they will be besieged by others and fail.
The news from the subsequent groups of tea guests was similar to the previous groups, and there was not much difference. It was not until the sun was about to set that another shocking news broke: several dragon knights teamed up to trap and kill more than a dozen water monsters.
Then seven powerful magicians joined forces to cast a powerful magic, completely freezing the small lake. Every drop of water turned into solid ice, freezing all the creatures in the lake.
This is undoubtedly shocking news. Seven powerful magicians worked together to kill all the water monsters, which made all the practitioners surrounding the small lake excited. This is equivalent to breaking the biggest problem of obtaining the left hand of God and the mysterious treasure.
obstacle.
Freezing an entire lake is a feat in the eyes of ordinary people and practitioners. Of course, the seven magicians also paid a heavy price for this. They used up all their magic power and could no longer do anything for a short time.
This makes it impossible for the lake to be unsealed quickly.
Although there are still many powerful magicians in the crowd, everyone is waiting and watching, and no one comes forward. In fact, everyone is gathering strength, waiting for the lake to thaw, and then snatching the mysterious objects left by the ancient gods. As can be expected.
, a chaotic war is inevitable!
After hearing that the seven magicians had cast a powerful magic, Chen Nan was shocked and secretly sighed that the magic was indeed amazing and unique.
After dark, he left the teahouse and returned to the inn. According to his guess, even though it was hot summer, the small lake frozen into ice would not melt in a short time.
Chen Nan kept running the Xuan Gong to heal his injuries that night, and when he finally finished it, he had basically recovered. He was secretly grateful for the wonder of the Xuan Gong passed down in his family. At that time, he asked Chen Zhan more than once what the name of this skill was. Although Chen Zhan was in martial arts,
He told him everything he knew, but he didn't reveal the name of this set of exercises, so he still doesn't know what he practiced.
The next day, Sin City was in a state of excitement, and an even more shocking news was spread in the city:
Many cultivators had been waiting from day to night yesterday, and finally waited until the ice melted. Countless people jumped into the lake and frantically fought for the mysterious treasure left by the ancient god. However, they only found the broken left hand of the ancient god, and did not find anything else.
Something special.
Then everyone became suspicious of each other and finally started fighting. Blood dyed the lake red, and countless people died. There was chaos around the small lake, and the fighting continued.
After Chen Nan heard about it, he hurried there slowly. If anyone knew that this guy had already taken the treasure that the ancient gods fought for into his arms, he might have been trapped in an endless pursuit.
Looking from a distance, a dozen flying dragon knights were fighting in a melee above the small lake, and several sub-dragon knights and giant dragon knights were watching eagerly. The huge dragons were like a few dark clouds, blocking the sun in the sky.
It’s daunting.
The ground is even more lively, with sword lights, sword shadows, lightning, flames... There are magicians and warriors, everyone is fighting, and the scene is chaotic...
Hundreds of people were fighting in the melee, and thousands of people were watching. Dozens of injured were lying on the ground and wailing. Nearly a hundred corpses were floating in the small lake. The water of the lake had turned scarlet. Although the scene did not get out of control, it
It's already tragic enough.
Thousands of years ago, two ancient gods fought over a mysterious treasure and both died. Thousands of years later, the mysterious treasure once again caused countless practitioners to fight for it in bloody battles.
The cry of killing, the sound of weapons clashing, the roar of dragons...the chaotic sound was deafening.
chaos!
Evil comes from desire. If everyone could restrain their evil thoughts, there wouldn't be so many tragedies happening in this world. But unfortunately, everyone in the room is full of greed, and they all suspect that the other party has obtained it.
The treasures left behind by the ancient gods all want to be their own.
Just when the scene was about to get out of control, and thousands of onlookers were about to join in the shopping, a huge dragon roar came from the distance, and the sound was like rolling thunder, surging over the ruins of the God War.
The dozens of second-order flying dragon knights who were fighting in the air suddenly changed their faces when they heard this. The flying dragon they were sitting on was so frightened that it lost control and ran away in panic. And the seven third-order dragon knights and five fourth-order giant dragons who were watching the battle nearby
The knights also changed their colors at the same time, and the dragons they sat down also showed a look of fear.
The warriors and magicians fighting on the ground were also shocked. This huge dragon roar made everyone tremble with fear. People all looked in the direction where the dragon roar came from, and the chaotic scene temporarily calmed down.
Everyone in the field already understood that the roar of the dragon definitely did not come from a dragon below the fourth level.
It wasn't until the huge dragon roar stopped that all the dragons returned to normal. The name "Holy Dragon" flashed in everyone's mind. Only the fifth-level holy dragon can make all dragons fearful. There is no doubt that there is something in the distance.
A holy dragon knight, a peerless strong man!
In a sense, the dragon knight is a fighter among cultivators. In the confrontation between cultivators of the same level, he has a huge advantage.
The mount of the dragon knight is of the same rank as the dragon knight, which is equivalent to the combination of two strong men. Of course, after the dragon is tamed, it mainly acts as a mount to assist the dragon knight in combat, and cannot fully exert its strength. But even such a combination cannot
The superposition of the two's strength will make the combat effectiveness higher than that of other cultivators of the same level.
Generally speaking, in a confrontation between cultivators of the same level, three dragon knights can withstand four cultivators of other categories. Of course, nothing is absolute. In a confrontation between cultivators of the same level, the dragon knights are defeated.
Examples are not uncommon.
Based on the above reasons, how could everyone not be alarmed when they guessed that there was a Holy Dragon Knight in the distance? He was definitely a super powerful and terrifying existence, the best among the peerless strong men.
While everyone was shocked, they were also secretly looking forward to it. After all, Holy Dragon Knights were as rare as a phoenix. Almost everyone had only heard of it but had never seen it. Everyone wanted to see the Holy Dragon that surpassed the giant dragon.
At this moment, Chen Nan's heart was filled with desire, eager to see the Holy Dragon of the West.
However, after a thundering dragon roar came from the distance, there was no more movement.
Just when there was about to be another commotion in the field, three figures appeared in the sky in the distance, and three magicians flew towards here at a staggering speed.
The three magicians are all in their fifties. All three are wearing orthodox magic robes, and each of them has four golden stripes embroidered on their sleeves. This signifies that the Magic Guild recognizes that they have reached the fourth level of great magician.
realm.
Three fourth-level men with terrifying strength stood together, giving people an invisible pressure. One of them said: "Dear heroes and friends, please allow me to introduce you. The three of us are teachers from Shenfeng Academy. Come here."
I just want to advise you to stop fighting and avoid causing more casualties."
Someone in the crowd sneered: "Stop when you say stop? This is a world where strength speaks for itself. Although the three of you are already fourth-level masters, there are far more than three fourth-level masters here. The fourth-level dragon knight alone is
There are five people."
A magician said: "The three of us are indeed not worthy enough, but I think if the holy dragon knight just stood up and spoke, it would be enough, right?"
The crowd roared. No one thought that the Holy Dragon Knight just now was from the Divine Wind Academy. Everyone couldn't help but marvel, the thousand-year-old academy is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!
While everyone was sighing, an old man with loose clothes and long flowing sleeves came from a distance with a flying sword. The old man had an immortal demeanor and a childlike face, just like a fairy.
Everyone was shocked again. The person who came turned out to be the most mysterious cultivator among cultivators, and he was a cultivator who had reached the fifth-level Nascent Soul realm, a peerless master!
In just a few moments, two peerless masters suddenly appeared in this ruins of the divine war, and everyone's heart was filled with shock.
Chen Nan has already recognized the old man who wields a sword and flies into the sky. When Kamikaze Academy admitted new students that day, this peerless master once made a stunning appearance in the third test.
Flying closer, the god-like old man stepped on a flying sword and stood in the air. He smiled slightly and said: "That old dragon asked me to drive back. He has a too bad temper and can only do bad things but not achieve anything."
Of course, everyone knew who the old dragon was referring to, and I am afraid that only a peerless master of his level would dare to jokingly call him the Holy Dragon Knight.
The three fourth-level magicians from Kamikaze Academy looked respectful and floated behind the old man.
"Dear friends, I have no ill intentions in coming here. I just want to ask all the heroes to stop. Kamikaze Academy does not want major bloodshed to occur near the Free City."
The same meaning was said by a peerless master, but the effect was completely different. This time, no one made any voice of dissatisfaction, not even the fourth-level experts in the crowd spoke up.
It is rumored that there are many unknown masters in Kamikaze Academy. At this time, two peerless experts have appeared. Who knows if there is a third or fourth one?
The old man said: "Who wouldn't be tempted by the mysterious object left by the ancient god, but who of you has seen that ancient god's treasure?"
Everyone was speechless.
"Everyone is suspicious of each other, and they all think that the other party has obtained the magic treasure, but who has seen it? No one! If we continue fighting like this, what will be the result? Thousands of people will probably die more than half, and those who are lucky enough to survive will end up with it.
It’s all in vain, you get nothing.”
Everyone was silent for a while.
"Everyone who has ever entered the lake to look for the ancient god's treasure has probably become a fool and has received the 'search treatment'. Since nothing has been found, why do we still fight? Why do we still doubt each other?"
There was silence in the place.
"It is recorded in the ancient sheepskin scrolls that two ancient gods once fought fiercely in this mountain range. One ancient god's left hand was cut off. The broken god's hand held a shining unknown object and fell into the mountains. The last two ancient gods exploded.
Thousands of years have passed, who can guarantee that the left hand of the ancient god and the relic will always be together? There is no doubt that the river not far away is connected to the underground lake by a secret passage, and the left hand of the ancient god must be
It was washed into the underground lake through a secret passage, but who can guarantee that the sacred treasure was also washed into it? It might have been washed away by the river."
After the silence, the crowd started talking, and then some people began to leave...
The peerless strong man who had reached the fifth level patiently persuaded these thousands of cultivators. More and more people left, and fewer and fewer people were present. The reality is cruel. No matter when and where, strength means everything. Likewise.
If the fourth-level expert said it, the effect would not be very good, but after the fifth-level peerless master patiently explained it, it achieved a completely different effect.
In the end, thousands of people gradually dispersed, and the crisis was resolved. The old man walked away with his sword, followed by three magicians.
It wasn't until everyone left that Chen Nan slowly walked towards the City of Sin. What he saw and heard today had a big impact on him. Magicians, dragon knights, and monks were free in heaven and earth. In comparison, Eastern warriors
It seems a little weaker.
He sighed: "If Eastern warriors can fly, why should they be afraid of other types of practitioners!"
Chen Nan was shocked, and turned around to look. His heart skipped a beat, and he realized that the person coming was an old monster.
The old monster who had gained new life was like a monk, with an aura that floated out of the dust. He put his hands behind his back and said: "Oriental warriors are by no means inferior to other types of cultivators. Do you still remember the ancient tomb in the underground tomb of Chudu Palace?"
A substitute master? He has a mortal body, but he can destroy immortals with just one hand. How many people in the world can do that?"
Chen Nan said: "I know that after cultivating to a certain level, warriors can also fly in the air. No matter from which aspect, they are not weaker than other types of cultivators. I just felt a little emotional."
The old monster nodded and said, "Do you know who the peerless masters among all types of cultivators are most afraid of meeting?"
"have no idea."
"They are most afraid of meeting the top masters among Eastern warriors."
Chen Nan was shocked and asked: "Why?"
"This is what various cultivators in the past have summarized from countless classic battles. In any battle involving the top masters of the East, other cultivators will rarely be able to win. After reaching a certain level, the Eastern warriors will be able to develop some special magical powers.
, if you can reach that state, you will naturally understand."
Of course, Chen Nan knew that some great magical powers would appear when warriors reach the highest realm, but he did not know much about those legendary magical powers. He only knew some secrets such as clairvoyance. He asked: "Why do so many people
Do you think Eastern martial arts is gradually declining?"
"The masters among Eastern martial arts are too low-key, which will naturally lead to the misunderstanding that Eastern martial arts is gradually declining. In fact, there are many earth-shattering figures in some ancient sects. If these people jump out, hehe..."
Chen Nan firmly believed in his words, because the old monster himself was such a person. Maybe he was once all-powerful when he was young, but now I'm afraid no one will remember him.
