Chapter 9: The Palace

Now, all of us are looking at Yihe.

Although each of us knows that Yi He is not a person who can ignore the safety of everyone for his own selfish desires, but out of human curiosity, everyone still can't help but want him to make his own answer.

After seeing everyone's eyes, Yi He naturally knew what everyone thought, and he spoke slowly in a calm tone, although he didn't say anything inspiring, but the confidence in his words was so obvious.

"If you can take it, you can take it, if you can't take it, you will abandon it, just a statue of the bones of the soil, it is not worth everyone to work hard here, although I am not talented, but I am confident, as long as it takes time, my achievements are by no means comparable to the bones of the earth!"

As Yi He finished saying these bold words, a trace of admiration and respect appeared on everyone's faces.

In these simple words, everyone heard Yi He's unspoken pride.

I don't need the mercy of my ancestors, I will surpass my ancestors!

How can a person who can have such pride not have corresponding achievements?

For such a person, it doesn't matter whether he can get the pity of his ancestors, and everyone will be happy if he can get it, but if he can't get it, he will never complain.

Because he himself is the greatest treasure in the world, as long as he is given time, he can achieve things that ordinary people can unimaginable without any help.

So we don't have to worry at all, Yi He will be resentful of us for not giving up on helping him get the bones of Houtu, because this is not something he has to get, and at best it is just the icing on the cake.

"Time is pressing, now that everyone has a consensus, let's get started."

Hearing what Yi He said, Chun Ting's face also showed respect, but he quickly restrained his emotions and returned to his usual calm appearance.

"Black Rock City is not huge, you might as well scatter and search in groups of two, but you must pay attention to safety, and if you find anything wrong, you will immediately report it to everyone, and you must not make your own decisions, so as not to trigger some deadly traps."

After Chunting finished speaking, everyone nodded yes, and then as he said, I and Qi Zhi, Chunting and Xue Nan, Ling Xuan and Shen Lang, Yi He and Juekong, the eight people were divided into four groups, and in this Black Rock City, looking for the mysterious Houtu bones.

It was only then that I was able to get a glimpse of the true face of the Black Rock City.

Chunting was right, Black Rock City was not as big as we thought, it was more of a palace than a city.

As soon as I found out about this, I heard that not far from us, Yi He was also aware of this and was asking Jue Empty Heart.

"Master, why is this Black Rock City called a city, but it is actually not huge, is this really a Black Rock City, is it a bit out of character?"

"This is indeed Black Rock City, and the reason why the donor has such an idea is actually understandable, because this Black Rock City is indeed very different from the other Nine Cities."

Regarding Yi He's inquiry, Juekong naturally did not hesitate at all, but replied to him seriously.

"There are ten cities in the land of the hidden capital, and the remaining nine cities are all built by Houtu, each city is a city in the true sense, the scale is extremely large, in the legend, there were even residents here in ancient times."

"And the tenth city is the Black Rock City, this city was built by the ancestral dragon himself after going to the netherworld, although it is called the city, but in fact it is just a palace, but because this is built by the ancestral dragon himself, so the descendants will call it a city out of respect for the ancestral dragon."

"Houtu originally built the city to be inhabited, and Zulong built the city here to hide something, so the two can't be generalized, although Blackstone City is only the size of a palace and not as large as the other nine cities, the danger here is far from comparable to other cities."

Hearing Juekong's explanation, I no longer had any doubts in my heart.

There is no doubt that although it is not a huge area, the dangers are far greater than any other place in the secluded capital.

Because this is the palace built by the ancestral dragon himself, and just now, even the Spring Pavilion felt a faint fear, which was enough to make us feel the existence of a crisis.

After relieving my doubts, I took Qi Zhi's hand and looked around, if I didn't consider the hidden dangers here, then this place could really be called the most solemn palace I had ever seen.

Although I call it a palace, the specifications here are completely different from what you see on a daily basis.

Perhaps because Zulong was not a person who was a great rejoicer, it was built very simply, but in this simplicity, it was full of a solemnity that could not be ignored, and people couldn't help but have an urge to worship him.

Simple, rugged, yet shocking.

After shaking his head and dispelling the inexplicable impulse in his heart, Qi Zhi and I continued to explore ahead, along the central axis of the palace, to the center of the palace.

In this central place, I suddenly noticed that there was an extra person's back!

In this extremely mysterious Black Rock City, there is actually a silent existence of one more person, and none of us actually found out!?

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly retreated the same way, looked around and found the Spring Pavilion that was exploring on the other side, and informed him of my discovery.

After hearing my description, Chunting turned pale, and then instructed me to lead the way, and led him back to the center, wanting to know who this person was!

And when I got back to him, I realized that it was nothing more than a misunderstanding.

What I saw was not a real person, but a statue with its back to me.

It's just that this statue is so lifelike that it looks like a living person when viewed from behind, which is why I have such a misunderstanding.

When I found out what had happened, the crisis was lifted, but my curiosity didn't diminish in the slightest.

We already know that the Black Rock City where we are now was built by the ancestral dragon himself.

And in the palace built by Zulong, whose statue can actually appear in the center of the palace in a grand manner?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help the curiosity in my heart, and strode to the front of the statue, wanting to know what kind of sacredness this statue was carved.

But once again, the results I saw were much more than I expected.
