In the Nine Secluded Caves, it is no longer pitch black, but bright.

Entering the Nine Secluded Caves from the stone gate, it is an empty hall.

In the main hall, except for a stone chair carved in marble at the innermost, there are only stone lampholders around the main hall, and there are no other items other than that.

Not to mention some furniture that should be, even the most basic chairs, and there is no extra second.

At this time, Lin Tianhan was sitting on a stone chair carved from marble, while the Nine Nether Leopards and the Ice Crocodile Clan were standing respectfully in the main hall.

Maybe the little crocodile is more special at this time, but I don't know when, the little crocodile lay on Lin Tianhan's shoulder again, with small black eyes, looking around curiously.

When he found that everywhere he passed in front of him were black rocks, his dark little eyes were suddenly full of disgust.

Hey!

The Nine Secluded Caves were so deeply hidden, I thought there was some treasure! It turned out that there was nothing, just an empty hall.

At this time, I saw the black-clothed man Nine Nethers Leopard, saluting Lin Tianhan who was sitting on the top and said:

"Lord of the Realm, the Nine Nether Leopard Clan has been ordered to protect this place, and although it has been thousands of years, they dare not forget the will of their ancestors. ”

"You've worked hard. ”

Suddenly, Lin Tianhan seemed to remember something, and then hurriedly said to the Nine Nether Leopards: "You Nine Nether Leopard Clan, who are you ordering to guard this place?"

The Nine Nether Leopard shook his head and said, "This seems to be known only to the First Ancestor, and in our Nine Nether Leopard Inheritance, we have only explained that we must always guard this place no matter what, waiting for the new generation of Realm Lords to come." ”

Listening to the words of the Nine Nether Leopards, Lin Tianhan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Bing Jiao, the patriarch of the Ice Crocodile Clan.

It's just that without waiting for Lin Tianhan to ask, Bing Jiao spoke: "The same is true of our Ice Crocodile Clan, our ancestors only told us to guard this place no matter what, but did not tell us why, let alone who ordered us to guard this place. ”

didn't get the answer he wanted, and Lin Tianhan was very disappointed.

In addition to the loss, Lin Tianhan also had deep doubts in his heart.

What happened 10,000 years ago? Is it really just an invasion of the Upper Six Realms?

But the Primordial Realm is the Mother Realm after all, so why did the Upper Six Realms invade the Primordial Realm?

Unable to think of a reason for a while, Lin Tianhan shook his head, and then said to the Nine Nether Leopard: "Senior, until now, the junior still doesn't know what your name is?"

"Subordinate to the Nine Shadows. ”

Lin Tianhan nodded, and then spoke again: "Nine Shadows Senior, what about the rest of you Nine Shadows Leopard Clan? ”

Hearing Lin Tianhan's words, Jiuyou's eyes suddenly showed a look of dejection.

Think about how powerful and prosperous the Nine Nether Leopard clan was back then.

It's just that with the passage of time, the Nine Nether Leopard clan has gradually disappeared into the long river of history.

Thinking of this, Jiuyou couldn't help but sigh, no matter how powerful the race is, there will be a day when it will die.

"Senior Nine Shadows, what's wrong? Is there anything unspeakable?"

After a pause, Lin Tianhan continued: "If it's inconvenient to say, then forget it." ”

"Nothing. Jiuyou shook his head and sighed, "Now the Nine Nether Leopard Clan is subordinate to one person alone. ”

"What?

Listening to what Jiuyou said, Lin Tianhan, Bingjiao and the others all looked at Jiuyou in surprise, I really hope that Jiuyou is joking.

It's just that Jiuyou's expression at the end of the curtain has already explained everything.

What Jiuyou said is true, and there is really only one Jiuyou left in the Nine Shades Leopard clan.

Lin Tianhan wanted to comfort Jiuyou, but he just opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Compared to Lin Tianhan who didn't know what to say, Bingjiao was more direct.

I saw Bingjiao reach out and pat Jiuyou's shoulder, "Brother, it's really hard for you." ”

A very far-fetched smile appeared at the corner of Jiuyou's mouth, and then Du Lin Tianhan saluted again: "Lord of the Realm, now that ten thousand years have passed, and you have arrived, the mission of my Nine Nether Leopard Clan can be regarded as complete." ”

"Please come down with your lord, it's time to hand over the things that our clan guards to you. ”

As he spoke, Jiuyou came to the first stone lamp on the left side of the main hall, stretched out his hand and gently molded the stone lamp, and then heard a rumbling sound.

As the roar came, I saw that near the stone lampstand, a large stone slowly rose from the ground in the rumbling sound.

As the stone rose, a portal appeared in front of everyone.

Jiuyou stood by the door and made a gesture of please to Lin Tianhan.

"Lord of the Realm, please come down with your subordinates. ”

Lin Tianhan nodded, didn't say anything, got up and walked towards Jiuyou.

Seeing Lin Tianhan get up and walk, Jiuyou looked at Bingjiao again, signaling that Bingjiao could be together, and then took a step ahead of Lin Tianhan and entered the portal.

After receiving the signal of the Nine Shadows, Bing Jiao turned around and explained to the elders of the six Ice Crocodile clans, asking them to stay in the Nine Shadows Cave, and then followed Lin Tianhan's figure into the open portal.

In the originally dark portal, with the entry of the Nine Shadows, a bright light suddenly lit up.

With the appearance of the light, it is finally possible to see everything in the portal.

It turned out that this portal was not a stone chamber, but a long passage that winded downward.

On the stone walls on both sides of the passage, there are stone lampstands evenly distributed, and beams of flames rise from the lampstands.

Lin Tianhan and Bingjiao followed Jiuyou and walked in the passage for a long time.

Continuing down the passage, the temperature in the passage is gradually rising.

And as they continued to go deeper, whether it was Lin Tianhan or Bingjiao, they all clearly felt that Jiuyou's mood became uncertain.

I don't know how long it took, but it seemed like an hour had passed, and a stone chamber gradually appeared in front of the passage.

Looking at the stone room in front of him, Jiuyou took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "It's here." ”

Lin Tianhan glanced at Jiuyou, and then stepped into the stone room.

It's just that the moment Lin Tianhan stepped into the stone room, Lin Tianhan was stunned.

The scene in front of him was too much beyond Lin Tianhan's expectations.

At this time, Lin Tianhan finally knew why there was only one person left in the Nine Nether Leopard clan.

I saw that in the center of the stone chamber, there was a magma pool, and in the center of the magma pool, there was a fiery red egg floating up and down, and around the magma pool, there was a corpse with nine ghost leopards.

Underneath each corpse, there were faint imprints, which seemed to be a formation.

Everywhere Lin Tianhan's eyes went, there were formation imprints.

The formations were linked to each other and then spread into the magma pool in the center of the stone chamber.

Each corpse in the formation was facing the magma pool, as if it was performing some kind of ritual.

Seeing this, Lin Tianhan was shocked in his heart, this seemed to be the method of sacrifice in ancient times.

Lin Tianhan didn't expect that the Nine Nether Leopard Clan would actually sacrifice the lives of all the clansmen for the sake of their mission.

Seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Lin Tianhan looked at Jiuyou in a daze.

"Senior Jiuyou, what's going on?"

Jiu Yu took a deep breath, looked at the floating egg in the magma pool, and said, "That is the egg of the ancient true dragon, and the mission of our Nine Nether Leopard clan is to protect this egg. ”

"It's just that the egg, I don't know who sealed it. ”

"Therefore, in addition to guarding this egg, we of the Nine Nether Leopard Clan also have to find a way to break the seal. ”

"After thousands of years of research by our clan, and with all the strength of the Nine Nether Leopard clan, the seal has finally been unlocked. ”

Although Jiuyou said it very easily, it was so tragic in the ears of Lin Tianhan and Bingjiao.

Lin Tianhan turned around and bent down deeply towards the bones of the many Nine Nether Leopards in the stone room.

"Salute to all the ancestors of our predecessors. ”

Then Lin Tianhan turned around and bowed down deeply to Jiuyou.

"Salute to the heroes. ”

Seeing Lin Tianhan bowing to himself, Jiuyou hurriedly knelt down on one knee and praised loudly.

"We danced in harmony with this land......"

Seeing Jiuyou singing praises, Bingjiao also knelt down on one knee and sang loudly.

"Until the tyrant came and blasphemed everything. But when he breaks our wills, he leaves behind the sharpest fragments. We are the guardians of the land of birth, and the price of peace is unforgettable. ”

Hearing the words of praise from Jiuyou and Bingjiao, Lin Tianhan said in shock: "This is?"

Jiuyou and Bingjiao said at the same time: "Guardian's will." ”
