Chapter 13: Xanadu?
Yan Jie staggered forward in the slight wind all the way, and the wounds on his chest and arm made Yan Jie grit his teeth in pain with every step, and a large amount of blood loss made Yan Jie stay in a state of dizziness, so he could only hold on to the stone cave wall tightly and grope forward, the cold water continued to wash Yan Jie's right hand along the stone wall, and the biting cold kept Yan Jie awake.
"Hold on, Yan Jie, you can't die here for no reason. Yan Jie kept cheering himself up in his heart.
In this way, step by step, Yan Jie didn't know how long he walked, the originally wide karst cave became narrower and narrower, and finally became a passage that could only accommodate one person.
After walking for about half an hour, Yan Jie's eyes suddenly opened up, and a wide cave appeared at the end of the passage, which was different from the stalactite cave before, this was obviously a huge cave formed entirely of marble granite, the stone wall was unusually smooth, and the whole cave was vertically upward, and the top could not be seen at a glance.
"Strangely, this place doesn't look like it was formed naturally, it looks like it was dug up by man, and it's more like a huge square than a cave. However, there is no exit here, so check it out first, or you will have to go back the way you came. Yan Jie kept observing this cave and thought in his heart.
The cave is very large, Yan Jie is exploring along the stone wall and moving forward, if this place is really artificially excavated, to build a square of this scale, it will take a lot of manpower or overwhelming strength, Yan Jie has a hunch in his heart, he will definitely find something in this somewhat strange cave.
It's a pity that it backfired, Yan Jie spent more than an hour to carefully explore every stone wall and every ground here, and found no special place, if there is only anything different, there is a protruding stone in the center of the cave, more than three feet high, and it is special in this stone cave in Ma Pingchuan. Yan Jie also stared at the stone and kept knocking and observing, and finally reluctantly admitted that it was really a stone.
"It seems that the adventures after crossing over are really just the plot of the novel, hey, forget it, let's go back after the break, and we have to find a way out quickly. Yan Jie dragged his weak body and sat on the stone, the tragic battle and running all the way had already exhausted Yan Jie, and he fell asleep unconsciously at this time.
When Yan Jie was asleep, he saw a drop of blood on his chest sliding down his body and onto the small stone pier where he was sitting, and the blood droplets were swallowed instantly, and then the small stone pier began to emit a dark red light, from shallow to deep, and finally the whole body was blood red. Suddenly, the entire cave began to shake violently, pulling Yan Jie back from his sleep all of a sudden, and Yan Jie, who hurriedly got up, thought that he had encountered an earthquake and wanted to run towards the exit. But the inconspicuous small stone pier under the original itself emitted a red-golden light at this time, enveloping Yan Jie in it, Yan Jie was shocked in his heart and wanted to struggle, but a powerful force firmly imprisoned him, unable to move at all, and the next second the light flashed, Yan Jie disappeared into this cave out of thin air, as if he had never appeared.
A strong vibration filled Yan Jie's body, followed by a powerful tearing force, Yan Jie's limbs seemed to be torn apart, and the dizzy Yan Jie seemed to have fallen into a whirlpool.
But fortunately, this strong feeling of discomfort quickly passed, a huge force supported Yan Jie's body, and then directly threw it into the air, Yan Jie, who was already full of meat and eight vegetarians, could not resist at all, and could only spin and fall in the air like a kite with a broken string.
Yan Jie's body fell heavily to the ground, and the dust raised made Yan Jie cough violently, and finally calmed down the internal organs that felt that they had been displaced, Yan Jie endured the pain in his body and grinned to observe the changes in the surrounding scene.
"Where is this?"
Yan Jie rubbed his eyes with his hand, but when he opened it again, the scene in front of him still did not change, the original cave had disappeared, replaced by a quiet but ancient valley, with lush willow branches and leaves, a gentle breeze, and the willow branches flying in the air, which was very beautiful.
A clear stream runs through the valley, the stream laps against the gravel on the bank, making a pleasant sound of water, the grass is long, and the spring is full of joy, a peaceful scene.
Yan Jie really had no direction now, he was obviously asleep in the cave, how did he come to this valley all of a sudden, although this valley was peaceful, but there was no trace of animals, except for the sound of wind and water, there was no other movement, it seemed a little weird.
"If you come, let it be safe. Yan Jie scratched his head and decided to rest here now, and then see if there was a way to get out of this valley.
Yan Jie, who had made up his mind, found a willow tree and sat down, and began to adjust his body, wanting to adjust his body to the best state.
"Teenager. Suddenly, an old voice sounded in Yan Jie's ears, making Yan Jie, who had just adjusted his breathing, jump up in fright.
I didn't know when a white-bearded elder appeared beside Yan Jie, he was dressed in a pure white robe, holding a bright red staff, with a childish face, looking at Yan Jie while brushing his long beard.
Yan Jie's pupils shrank, as if he had seen a ghost, and he couldn't even speak for a while.
"You... You.. Who are you? Not a ghost, right?" After a long time, Yan Jie finally asked the identity of the old man in a trembling voice.
"What the hell is it? The old man has a name and a surname, you can call me Gaia. The old man looked at Yan Jie with a smile and said.
"Oh. Okay, old man, do you know where this is?" asked Yan Jie politely.
"I'm Gaia, Gaia. The old man didn't seem to be very satisfied with Yan Jie's reaction, and kept repeating.
"I know your name is Gaia. Grandpa, you see that I am injured, tired and hungry, do you live here, can you find me some food?" Yan Jie said as he touched his rumbling stomach.
"No, my name is Gaia, don't you have any reaction to this name?" the old man said to Yan Jie excitedly.
"Uh. Grandpa, I really don't know your name. Yan Jie replied embarrassedly, Yan Jie, who is a traverser himself, is a stranger to this world, let alone the name that this strange old man said.
The old man suddenly felt decadent, and his original appearance of the fairy wind bones was gone, looking at Yan Jie with a loveless expression.
"Grandpa, it's actually because I was injured before, so I have amnesia, so I don't remember your name. Yan Jie had an idea and said to the old man.
"I say, my dragon god Gaia, the founder of the Holy Dragon World, has been worshiped by the world for tens of millions of years, how can you not know. When the sad old man heard Yan Jie's words, he instantly became active again.
"Yes, yes, wait, what are you talking about? You say you are the dragon god?" Yan Jie smiled at the old man, and when he heard the words of the dragon god, he was excited.
"That's right, I am the Dragon God, 80 million years ago, I single-handedly created this Holy Dragon World with the strength of the Creation Realm, and raised the Holy Dragon World to the level of the Great Plane, under my protection, all things were created and multiplied for tens of millions of years. It's a pity that later. I also.. The old man seemed to be stuck in a bad memory, and began to mumble to himself.
Yan Jie had a rough understanding of the history of this different world from the old priest of the Black Flag tribe before, and only knew that the dragon clan was once the king of this world, but after the catastrophe of destruction, the pure dragon clan disappeared without a trace, and going back to history, the founder of the dragon clan was the peerless powerhouse who was replaced by the dragon god, the old priest did not tell Yan Jie the name of the dragon god, and maybe no one in this world knew the name of the dragon god, after all, the dragon god was the same as the Jesus of Yan Jie's original world, no one had ever seen it, and most of them only existed as myths and stories passed down by everyone。
"Goo. Yan Jie's stomach rang again at this time.
"No matter, let's just treat him as a real dragon god, and then find him to fill his stomach first. Yan Jie adheres to the attitude that people are iron, rice is steel, and to do things, eat first and eat first.
"Lord Ryujin, do you have anything to eat here?" Yan Jie said respectfully to the old man.
"Of course not, my body has been destroyed, and a trace of remnant soul has survived to this day with the help of the seal, it has been 100,000 years, where will there be anything to eat. The old man replied with his hands outstretched.
Hearing this, Yan Jie was dumbfounded all of a sudden. Yes, the bamboo basket was empty, Yan Jie stopped talking, and began to look around, trying to find a way back.
Seeing that Yan Jie no longer paid attention to himself, the old man suddenly became anxious, blew his beard and glared at Yan Jie and said, "You know that I am the Dragon God, don't you have any requirements to mention to me? Although I only have a wisp of remnant soul, I still have the strength of Nirvana Realm, aren't you impressed at all?"
"Lord Ryujin, you used to be in the Creation Realm, can't you see that if I don't eat something again, I may soon have only my soul left like you. Yan Jie said to the old man angrily.
"That's it, you are the first person to enter the dragon god space in 100,000 years, which means that you are destined for me, and my current state really can't ask you to keep bowing to me, you come with me." Seeing that Yan Jie was still doing his own thing, the old man had to put away the shelf he was holding, said to Yan Jie with a decadent face, and then walked to the depths of the willow forest.
"Let's follow first, whether he is a dragon god or not, since he lives in this strange space, he should always know something. Yan Jie thought to himself, and hurriedly followed the old man.
