Zhang Ruochen took out the dragon horn, held it in the palm of his hand, and said thoughtfully: "Since the four-winged earth dragon has refined its horn into a key, it must be sealing up something very valuable. What else can be better than a dragon?
Are relics more valuable?"
Zi Qian nodded and said: "Yes, I think so too. Therefore, even if Emperor Yi went to the Dragon Palace, he would not be able to obtain the dragon relics without the dragon horns. In this case, why should we go head-to-head with him?
?”
"Besides, the dragon relic may not be in the Dragon Palace yet."
At this moment, a faint layer of brilliance appeared on the surface of the dragon horn, flickering for a moment, and specks of light flew out.
Zhang Ruochen and Zi Qian exclaimed almost at the same time.
what happened?
"Could it be that... the dragon horn sensed something?" Zi Qian's beautiful eyes were fixed on the dragon horn, her pupils constantly dilating.
After a while, the surface of the dragon horn flickered again, and the light became more intense.
Zhang Ruochen said thoughtfully: "We may find something if we follow the direction of the dragon horn induction. However, we have to wait for a few of my friends."
After a while, Si Xingkong, Chang Qiqi, Huang Yanchen, Duanmu Xingling, Chen Xi'er, and Guoguo chased after them through the black fog. They were all very moved when they saw Zhang Ruochen still waiting for them.
They all know that Zhang Ruochen has a dragon horn that can unlock an important treasure in the Dragon Palace.
Originally, they thought that Zhang Ruochen left first because he wanted to monopolize the treasure.
It wasn't until this moment that they discovered that Zhang Ruochen was really just going to clear the way to help them eliminate danger, and was not abandoning them.
Chang Qiqi sighed: "I'm really ashamed. I told them just now that Junior Brother Zhang must have gone to get the treasure independently and left us alone!"
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Since six people are here together, it is natural for six people to search for treasures together. Our expedition will be considered a success only if all six people return with a full load."
Chang Qiqi was even more ashamed. She slapped herself hard, leaving a five-finger mark, and bowed to Zhang Ruochen three times in a row. She admired Zhang Ruochen in her heart to the point of admiration.
In the past, he only admired Si Xingkong, but now there is Zhang Ruochen.
If before, Chang Qiqi only regarded Zhang Ruochen as a pretty good friend, then now, he has regarded Zhang Ruochen as a brother who can share weal and woe.
It can be said that now, with just one word from Zhang Ruochen, he will not hesitate to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire.
When Chen Xi'er saw Zi Qian standing next to Zhang Ruochen, she immediately pulled out a brilliant ancient sword and stabbed Zi Qian with a swish sound.
Chen Xi'er's cultivation has broken through to the Tianji realm, her strength has greatly increased, and the speed of the sword is as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, the tip of the sword pierced Zi Qian's forehead.
Zhang Ruochen struck out with a palm, knocking Chen Xi'er's sword out of position.
At the same time, he moved his steps and stood in front of Zi Qian.
Chen Xi'er's murderous intent did not diminish, and the sword light on the sword edge became brighter, saying: "Zhang Ruochen, she is a killer in the black market, why are you protecting her?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "I know she is a killer in the black market, but she found the dragon horn in the Chikong Secret Mansion. I promised her that I would take her with me to find the treasure."
Chen Xi'er frowned, stared at Huang Yanchen, Si Xingkong, and Chang Qiqi, and said, "You also agree that a black market killer will accompany us?"
Chang Qiqi said: "I believe in Junior Brother Zhang and support his decision."
Although Huang Yanchen disliked Zi Qian very much, he still said: "It was indeed Zi Qian who found the dragon horn."
"But she is from the black market..." Chen Xi'er said.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes darkened and he said forcefully: "This matter has been settled. If anyone still has any objections, they can withdraw. Senior Sister Chen, if you really think that I have colluded with the black market, you can report it to the palace after you return."
The Lord reports.”
Chen Xi'er stared into Zhang Ruochen's eyes and felt that Zhang Ruochen exuded an unprecedented domineering aura, which made her unable to lift her head. Her legs were shaking slightly, and she did not dare to look Zhang Ruochen face to face.
Chen Xi'er finally chose to compromise. She had no choice but to make everyone present follow Zhang Ruochen's lead. Even if she strongly opposed it, no one would stand on her side.
These are true friends who share weal and woe. Even if they know that Zhang Ruochen's actions are inappropriate, they still support Zhang Ruochen without hesitation and stand on Zhang Ruochen's side without hesitation.
If it had been in the past, Si Xingkong and Chang Qiqi would have drawn their swords against each other after knowing Zi Qian's identity, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Zi Qian, held the dragon's horn in his hand, and quickly walked towards the northwest corner of the Dragon Palace according to the dragon's horn's guidance.
There are many killing arrays arranged in the Dragon Palace.
If you are not careful and break into the killing array, you will be dead.
Zhang Ruochen has a little knowledge of battle formations, so when he encounters a killing formation, he immediately takes a detour.
About half an hour later, a group of seven people came to the bottom of an underwater hill.
The light emitted from the dragon horn in Zhang Ruochen's hand became stronger and stronger, and even began to tremble slightly. Putting the dragon horn to his ear, he could even hear a low dragon roar coming from it.
"It should be right here."
Zhang Ruochen stopped and looked towards the underwater hill.
The hills are more than 500 meters high and are made of dark rocks and soil.
On the hill, there are plants of elixir growing, emitting colorful brilliance, giving people a feeling of jewels.
"Oh my God! This is simply an underwater treasure mountain. Look, that blood coral is actually three feet tall and is at least a thousand years old. If I can refine it, I will definitely be able to refine it within a year.
Break through two realms in a row and reach the late stage of Tianji realm."
Chang Qiqi was trembling with excitement. She kept rubbing her palms and was about to rush towards the hill.
Zi Qian's eyes also showed a strange brilliance, and said: "There are fourteen Purple Qi Dragon Grass growing on the hill. If I can get one, I can practice the Zixia Divine Light Gong to the seventh level.
In one fell swoop, we can reach the Heavenly Realm. If we can pick all fourteen Purple Air Dragon Grasses, we can even break through to the eighth level."
In Tianmo Ridge, not a single Purple Air Dragon Grass can be found. Here, there are fourteen plants growing on just one hill. How could Zi Qian not be excited?
Zhang Ruochen held down Zi Qian and Chang Qiqi to prevent them from breaking into the hill, and said with a solemn expression: "Don't worry, look at the ground."
Everyone looked towards the bottom of the hill, and saw that the bottom of the hill was piled with white bones, both human bones and savage beast bones.
Among them, there are also some fresh corpses. Apparently, some black market warriors went to break into the hill before, but somehow died at the bottom of the hill.
So weird!
Seeing those corpses, everyone's excitement immediately cooled down, and instead they all looked frightened.
"There is probably some kind of killing formation on the outside of the hill. Once you get close, you will be crushed by the formation." Huang Yanchen guessed.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said: "I just checked, and there are no traces of formation inscriptions on the outside of the hill."
"How is that possible? Those warriors and beasts couldn't have been killed on the hill, right?" Chang Qiqi touched her chin, showing a frown on her face.
"This is the weirdest thing. How did those humans and beasts die?" Zhang Ruochen frowned.
We have already arrived in Baoshan, but we can only watch. This feeling is not to mention how terrible it is.
Chang Qiqi tried to rush forward several times, but was dragged back by Zhang Ruochen and Si Xingkong.
"Perhaps you can try it with martial arts." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
Zhang Ruochen immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, secretly released his martial spirit, and cautiously approached the hill.
"Ouch!"
The martial spirit had just advanced a dozen steps, when suddenly, a dragon roar sounded from inside the hill, almost shaking Zhang Ruochen's martial spirit away.
Zhang Ruochen immediately withdrew his martial spirit, his brain went dark, his throat felt sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
What a terrifying power.
Zhang Ruochen's martial spirit was severely injured, and his brain was in pain. Fortunately, he attracted the resonance of the gods twice, and the phantoms of the gods in the Qi Lake helped him block part of the power. Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen would have just spit out a mouthful of blood.
Simple.
"Zhang Ruochen, what's wrong with you?"
Zi Qian immediately pressed her palms to Zhang Ruochen's vest, injecting a stream of true energy into Zhang Ruochen's body.
Huang Yanchen had already rushed over, but Zi Qian beat him to it.
Seeing Zi Qian being so close to Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen was naturally very unhappy. His eyes were filled with coldness. He walked over, grabbed Zi Qian's wrist, and pulled away Zi Qian's palm from Zhang Ruochen's back.
Pushing her aside, he said: "Your cultivation is too weak, I will help him heal."
As he spoke, Huang Yanchen sat cross-legged behind Zhang Ruochen, and the thick true energy flowed out from the sea of qi, carried to his palms, and pressed against Zhang Ruochen's vest.
Zi Qian clenched her hands and was very angry. Why is she such an unreasonable woman?
However, when she thought about Huang Yanchen's identity as Zhang Ruochen's fiancée, she immediately put away her anger. There was nothing she could do about it. Someone else is the fiancée, so what's your identity?
Moreover, Huang Yanchen has already reached the Tianji realm, and his martial arts cultivation is indeed much higher than hers. No matter from any aspect, she cannot afford to offend Huang Yanchen.
Previously, everyone only saw Zhang Ruochen sitting cross-legged on the ground, and they did not know that Zhang Ruochen released his martial spirit. They did not know that Zhang Ruochen was not actually physically injured, but that his martial spirit was injured.
The martial soul is injured and can only recover slowly. The infuriating energy delivered by outsiders has no effect at all.
After Zhang Ruochen suppressed the trauma of Wuhun, he opened his eyes. Except for the tingling pain in his head, there was no other discomfort.
"It seems that Wuhun will no longer be able to be used in a short period of time."
Being unable to use martial souls means that he cannot mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cannot exert his spatial domain. As a result, Zhang Ruochen's strength will be greatly reduced.
Although his martial soul was injured, Zhang Ruochen also gained a lot. He already knew how to enter that hill.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen wake up, Huang Yanchen was overjoyed. He immediately retracted his palms and asked with concern: "Zhang Ruochen, what happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly vomit blood?"
Chang Qiqi stared at the surroundings and said gloomily: "It can't be haunted!"
Zhang Ruochen stood up, smiled and said: "How can there be so many ghosts in the world? I just used a secret method to explore that hill, and I was injured because I was bombarded by a powerful force."
Duanmu Xingling asked: "What have you discovered?"
"Of course there was a discovery."
Zhang Ruochen looked at the hill hundreds of meters high, and kept making gestures with his fingers. After a while, he took his hand back, nodded gently, and said: "The master of the Dragon Cave is alive, but the energy of death is so high. What if?
I guessed right, this is not a hill at all, but a tomb."
"Grave? Who would build such a huge tomb?" Chang Qiqi asked.
