Long Chen knocked the bone on the ground with the handle of the knife. A pit was made on the bone, and white powder appeared on it.
"Even the most powerful creatures cannot withstand the erosion of time. The hardest law in the world is time." Long Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Through percussion, he thoroughly confirmed that it was a huge bone, but it was too old and weathered, without any energy.
Originally, Long Chen had the idea of this ancient giant corpse, thinking that if this ancient giant corpse still had a certain amount of energy left, and put it into the chaotic space, it might be possible to make the Jianmu Sacred Tree blossom and bear fruit directly.
If Jiang Yuhe and others knew what Long Chen was thinking, they would definitely be frightened crazy. Long Chen's courage is really not ordinary.
So Long Chen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw that there was no energy left in the bones. His plan failed.
However, through knocking, Long Chen roughly knew that the size of this bone was about ten thousand miles in radius. He didn't know which part of the corpse this huge bone belonged to.
Long Chen led everyone along the mountain, all the way forward, but found a straight mountain range in front of him. After climbing for a long time, Long Chen silently remembered the path he had walked, and suddenly stopped and said:
"Don't go any further."
"What?" Bai Shishi couldn't help asking.
"This should be the sole of a creature's foot. It is somewhat similar to humans, but it has four toes and a bump on the arch of the foot. I have never seen such a creature in books.
We need to go back, towards the head, and first measure the basic outline of this huge monster."
Long Chen took the people back and walked for a while. Everyone repaired on the spot, because in such a dark world, the agitation of demonic energy will cause a great burden on people's physical and mental strength, and people will feel
Fatigue, resulting in inability to concentrate.
Especially Long Chen, whose spiritual consciousness was scattered along the way, consumed more than others. While others couldn't bear it, he himself also needed to rest.
After everyone took the elixir and recovered their spirits, they continued on the road. They walked for an unknown distance and could not feel the flow of time here. Everyone just followed Long Chen and prayed not to encounter any scary monsters.
Long Chen took everyone around, resting when they were tired, and continuing walking after resting. During the rest, Long Chen took out a piece of paper to draw.
Soon, the outline of a monster appeared on the screen. It was a monster with two wings on its back.
Its arms were above the knees and had sharp claws. It had more than thirty ribs, two of which were very short. Long Chen looked at the picture he had drawn and remained silent.
"Boss, why does this monster have no head?" Bai Xiaole asked curiously.
"We haven't gone to the head position yet. If I guessed correctly, it's probably the dragon's lair there, so we'll go there last." Long Chen said.
"The dragon's lair? Then let's not go there. It's too dangerous." Jiang Yuhe suggested:
"Little brother, that magic dragon is too scary. How about we go back first and come to help you when we are promoted to the Spiritual Immortal King?
In fact, it won’t take long, at most a hundred years. For us, a hundred years of retreat will pass in a blink of an eye. There is really no need to continue taking risks.”
She was scared. Not only her, but also the powerful men from the Dragon Realm who came with them were all afraid. It was just that they had no choice but to follow them.
"Yes, I think this matter should be discussed in a long-term manner and then decided upon, so that the chance of winning is greater." Zhao Qinglong also agreed.
"You want to take back the Seventh Branch, but in this situation, if it weren't for me to attack you, let alone you, even if you and the entire Lingxiao Academy use the strength of the whole academy, it would be impossible to change this place at once.
Therefore, I think you should report the situation here to the academy and let the seniors of the academy make a decision. Maybe they know the origin of this giant corpse." The leader of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group also advised.
"Indeed, it's not that we are afraid of death. After all, we have lived for so long and have experienced everything.
But you are different, there is still a great future waiting for you, the risk is really not worth it." The leader of the Blood Alliance also joined the persuasion group to persuade Long Chen.
However, Long Chen didn't pay attention to them. He still looked at the picture in his hand and thought about it. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Long Chen, I also think that if we can do this to this extent, it's enough.
What they say makes sense. If it is true as you said, the position of the head may be the dragon's lair, so you really shouldn't take the risk.
We already know so much useful information now, if we fail, all our efforts will be in vain." Bai Shishi also advised.
The academy did not have any information about this area. Long Chen and others knew so much that returning to the academy was a great achievement. The academy would never blame them, but would encourage them.
After all, in such a dangerous place, let alone them, a group of rookies in the Four Realms, even a strong man of Bai Zhantang's level would be helpless if they came.
At this time, Long Chen put the piece of paper away and said with a slight smile: "As for listening to others' advice and eating enough, since you all want to go back, then I have decided..."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"...Keep going." Long Chen's tone changed, and everyone almost lost their breath. This turn was too sudden.
"Long Chen, now is not the time to joke." Bai Shishi said angrily.
"I'm not kidding. If I don't go to the Dragon's Lair to see it, I will definitely feel uneasy.
Moreover, I feel that the ruins of our academy must be near the demon dragon's lair. How can we be willing not to go and take a look?
Okay, let’s go, we’re just going to have a look, I didn’t say I was going to slay the dragon today.” Long Chen said with a smile.
Hearing what Long Chen said, everyone's worried hearts were slightly relieved. Bai Xiaole suddenly said:
"What if we encounter a dragon egg?"
"Then it must be taken." Long Chen responded very simply.
As soon as Long Chen said this, Jiang Yuhe and others felt that their hair was about to stand on end. They had secretly sworn countless oaths. If they could get out alive this time, they would never cooperate with Long Chen in this life. This guy is
A madman.
In the darkness, everyone followed Long Chen and almost held their breath, fearing that if they made any noise, they would disturb the terrible creatures.
As I walked, the space in front of me gradually became brighter. Standing on the mountain, I could vaguely see the outlines of some things around me.
"Boss..."
"Shh..."
Long Chen made a silent gesture. He had already discovered that this place was in ruins. Some traces of human buildings could be seen. It seemed that this was the ruins of the Seventh Branch.
Everyone continued to move forward, and Long Chen finally saw the outline of this huge head. Its head was somewhat similar to the outline of the human head. There were two horns on the head, but the two horns had disappeared. I don't know if they were cut off by someone.
Yes, it broke on its own under the erosion of time.
At the position of its eyes, there were two huge holes. Long Chen and others quietly approached the hole, and suddenly a dragon roar sounded, and a huge black dragon flew out of the hole.
