It was early in the morning when we arrived near Pearl Falls.

Zhu Sidong, the repeated battles of the Earth Immortal Temple made Zhu Xia, who had just woken up, tired, and rode a mountain leopard through the mountain road, with her eyebrows and eyes lowered, in order to seize the time to recover her strength.

"Try this, it's good for recovery."

Controlling the mountain leopard to approach, Yan Jing handed over the juice he had prepared in advance in this life.

Compared to the low-quality recovery potions sold in the torch space, the spirit juice squeezed out of the Spirit Extraction Glove has a more significant effect.

"Thank you...... You weren't like this before. ”

Taking a sip of the juice, Zhu Xia looked at Yan Jing, memories of the past flooded into her heart, and she muttered in a low voice.

"Can you tell us about my predecessor?"

After a brief silence, Yan Jing asked.

"You weren't a human at that time, just a wild monkey."

The corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, which disappeared in an instant, and Zhu Xia said in a muffled voice,

"Stubborn but upright, unreasonable but empathetic, at that time, you thought you were the destiny of heaven, and you thought about defeating the demons in Zhongshan City all day long, awakening the candle dragon, and turning this world eroded by extraterritorial demons upside down......"

"Why did I fail then?"

Yan Jing half-narrowed his eyes and asked.

He distinctly remembered the spider spirits calling themselves Destiny Man.

This also means that the predecessor of this body is likely to indeed bear the hope of this heaven and earth.

Yan Jing wanted to know the reason for his failure and prepare in advance.

"I just remember the rumors that you broke into Zhongshan City alone and killed several big demons, and ordinary demons were bleeding in your hands, as for why you failed...... Hyakmu said that he had never been able to wake up the candle dragon or find its sleeping place, and died of exhaustion. ”

At first, Zhu Xia didn't know about Yan Jing's predecessor going to Zhongshan City alone, and the latter deliberately concealed it, and Peng An was not a short distance away from Zhongshan City.

By the time she knew what was happening in Zhongshan City, the battle was already over.

"Baimu just told you that the demons in Zhongshan City are looking for the candle dragon is only a little progress, and it doesn't need to lie to you when it is about to start, which means that my predecessor really didn't find the place where the candle dragon was sleeping at that time, otherwise it shouldn't be in this state."

Yan Jing referred to the previous Heavenly Mandate as the "predecessor", even if he didn't know whether the other party's claim was true or false, and he didn't know if his identity arranged by the torch was really the reincarnation of the other party, or just similar in appearance.

"You're right...... He's just a wild monkey, a man of destiny, a man! ”

Zhu Xia didn't notice Yan Jing's thoughts, but her unintentional words made the latter startled.

Whether it is Yan Jing or the predecessor of his appearance, if the identities of both are true, they are the prophesied Mandate of Heaven.

Yan Jing never believed that this heaven and earth would care about the race of the Heavenly Mandate people.

It's just that Zhu Xia's words made Yan Jing realize that the identity of the Heavenly Mandate was not enough, and he couldn't meet the conditions for awakening the Candle Dragon.

Hmmm~mph~

The sound of running water was heard in the woodland ahead, and it was very clear.

As the leopard moved forward, the sound grew louder and louder, even suppressing other sounds in the woodland.

Jump up a steep slope and step on a carpet of moss and weeds.

A hazy mist greeted them, spreading over the bodies of the two of them, obscuring the vision ahead.

"There's Pearl Waterfall in front of you!"

Because the sound of running water was too loud, Zhu Xia had to raise her voice.

Yan Jing raised his hand and waved lightly, and the mist in front of him suddenly quickly retreated to both sides, clearing a way forward.

The whole picture of Pearl Waterfall is also displayed in front of the two of them at this moment.

On the mountain wall up to hundreds of meters, the waterfall with a diameter of more than 100 meters hangs down, the moonlight shines like Yinchuan, the majestic water flows over the lush vegetation between the mountain walls and falls in the deep pool, occasionally some smash on the surface of the boulder on the shore, scattering and splashing, like a pearl.

"Can this deep pool hide the old turtle?"

Yan Jing walked to the edge of the deep pool under the waterfall, looked at the secluded pool, and asked without looking back.

The water flow of Mingzhu Waterfall is really not small, but this does not mean that the waterhole under it is so wide, Yan Jing looked around and confirmed that the total area of the entire waterhole is only 100 meters, except for the part that connects to the river.

How can the old turtle say that he is a demon king, can this kind of waterhole be fed?

"Turn ** as the new master of the Tongtian River, since the old turtle has been defeated by it, whether it is the cave or a group of subordinates, it will also be plundered, plus it is seriously injured, it is dead if it stays in the Tongtian River, and it is also dead if it loses the nourishment of the water vein, and this is one of the few places that is not only connected to the Tongtian River, but also hidden enough, and there are two demon king caves near Zhusi Cave and Dixian Temple."

Compared to Yan Jing, Zhu Xia was very clear about the battle between the demons and the possible consequences, and opened her mouth to explain.

Don't look at the two demon kings in the Peng'an realm, the premise is that Zhu Xia and the hundred-eyed centipede are commensurate with their brothers and sisters to the outside world, and they belong to old acquaintances, plus the former usually has no intention of competing for power and has no conflict of interest, so they can be safe.

However, Tongtian River can't accommodate two demon kings.

Not to mention that the Ichthyosaurus Passage brings rich rewards to the demon king who controls it every year.

Wealth touches people's hearts.

In the past, Lao Yuan relied on his own strength to subdue the Quartet Water Tribe, and no one dared to rob it, but what he got was the promise of the Demon King in Zhongshan City, to divide the victory or defeat with Lao Yuan, life and death, and never let the former leave easily.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Xia can deduce that as long as the old turtle does not die, it will find a place close to the water veins of the Tongtian River and hidden enough to hide and recuperate.

To put it mildly, you can die and live in peace.

"Old Yuan, I'm Zhu Xia, if you're still alive, come out and meet!"

Stepping on the water to the center of the deep pool, Zhu Xia shouted while releasing her demonic energy.

Waited for a while, but there was no response.

"I have a way to get rid of evil energy, Yuan Gang was resurrected by the mandate of heaven, he can save you!"

Yuan Gang was obviously the name of the previous Mandate of Heaven, and he had some friendship with Lao Yuan, and Zhu Xia tried to make the latter appear.

The result is the same as before.

The only sound of the waterfall could still be heard around.

Yan Jing, who was standing in the back, breathed a sigh of relief, and strengthened his perception with Tongxuan, looking for abnormal aura that might exist nearby.

"Except for the two of us, there is no demonic breath nearby, and the old turtle is also a demon king, even if he is injured and lurks here, he will not become no different from ordinary flowers, plants, birds and beasts."

After scanning back and forth a few times and not finding the target, Yan Jing raised his eyebrows and asked again,

"Is there any other place besides Pearl Falls?"

"That's all I know...... The old turtle knows how to breathe, maybe it is hiding in the dark and observing. ”

Zhu Xia, who returned to the shore, lowered her voice to remind that in her opinion, Mingzhu Waterfall was the most likely hiding place for the old turtle.

"Then there's only one way left."

Bypassing Zhu Xia, Yan Jing flew to the top of the Pearl Waterfall.

Maybe the predecessor Yuan Gang did have a friendship with Lao Yuan, but the current Yan Jing has no memory.

There was only one way he could prove his identity.

Dragon Tiger Yama Statue!

The golden light of faith spread in a rippled manner centered on Yan Jing.

Spread over the mountains, forests, grasses, waterfalls and deep pools.

In order not to cause the surrounding monsters to move, Yan Jing deliberately controlled the range near the Pearl Waterfall.

Even so, the spread of the power of faith could easily wipe out the evil energy in the area.

There is no more direct and effective way to prove yourself.

Almost at the same time as the power of faith spread, a pair of dark blue eyes suddenly opened between the mountain walls behind the Pearl Waterfall shrouded by the majestic water!

The waterfall cut off in the middle, and a figure burst out of the water and fell on the rocks by the waterhole.

Zhu Xia hurriedly stepped forward to check.

I saw an old man with a hundred beards lying on his back on the stone, with a fist-sized flesh hole in his chest, and the inside was full of wriggling rotten flesh whiskers, and the rich evil energy was confronting the old man's own demonic power at the edge of the wound, and it was about to roll over at any time.

The fragile balance can be upset at any moment.

The old man's body was like a candle in the wind, declining, his left eye was clouded, and his face twitched uncontrollably, as if he would be completely transformed into madness and evil in the next second.

Before Zhu Xia could make any move, Yan Jing came first, and pointed his sword with his right hand, pointing at the old man's eyebrows.

The power of faith poured into the old man's body, dispelling all the evil energy.

The flesh and blood of the wound on his chest returned to normal, the rotten flesh and black blood were washed away by the power of faith, and even the old man's face improved.

The old turtle slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Yan Jing, his expression was also incredulous, and he said in a trembling voice,

"Yuan Gang, you are still alive...... No, you're not him, the breath is still the same as the ...... just now Humans, Destiny? ”

Hearing the old turtle speak, Yan Jing and Zhu Xia glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether you can reach Zhongshan City in a short period of time, I hope it all depends on the old turtle in front of you.

Fortunately, it caught up before it completely alienated into an evil spirit.

Half an hour later.

A bonfire is set up on the hillside near Pearl Falls.

Wash and peel the venison on a rack on the fire, and roast it with oil.

Yan Jing took out a few bottles of juice from the space again and handed them to Zhu Xia and Lao Yuan beside him.

After a busy night, I was able to take a break.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Jing and Zhu Xia informed Lao Yuan of the current situation, hoping to get some advice from it.

"Now that I think about it, I calculated well at the time, Yuan Gang's fate shows that he is the prophesied Mandate of Heaven...... It's just that the time has not yet come, and this is the time to fold in Zhongshan City, and after nearly a hundred years, you have appeared! ”

The old turtle, who had just recovered from a serious injury, stroked his long beard, frowned tightly in thought, paused, and turned to look at Yan Jing,

"But the prophesied Mandate of Heaven should have a birthmark on his chest that looks like a dragon, but you don't have it, can it be said that even you are worse?"

】

The old turtle is one of the few beings that has survived for hundreds of years before the world was polluted, and it can be said that it was a first-hand witness to the catastrophe back then, and there is no doubt that there is a better understanding of the prophecy about the candle dragon.

"You mean I haven't met the conditions to wake up the candle dragon?"

Yan Jing had speculated about Yuan Gang's defeat before, and now Lao Yuan's confusion also verified his idea.

"There is this possibility, the ability to dispel evil energy that you just showed is certainly something that Yuan Gang did not have at the beginning, correspondingly, its demon body that can stand up to the sky and the earth, and can fight and kill hundreds of high-level demons, is also what you lack...... Zhu Xia and your predecessor are old acquaintances, and you should be able to see that you are much younger now than Yuan Gang when you went to Zhongshan City! ”

In the eyes of the old turtle, Yan Jing's body was indeed extraordinary, but compared to Yuan Gang, it seemed to be a little worse.

Yan Jing knew the problem in his heart, the golden body had not yet been fully cast!

Although he has been reborn, he has not yet been able to break through the most critical shackles.

The problem was that it was impossible for Yan Jing to complete a breakthrough in a short period of time, let alone in this other world.

"Regardless of anything else, the most important thing now is to go to Zhongshan City immediately, this heaven and earth can only cover my whereabouts for five days, after this time limit, the extraterritorial heavenly demons are very likely to take action in person."

Tearing off a deer leg, Yan Jing said in a deep voice,

"Old turtle, we came to you this time to be able to ride the fish dragon."

Yan Jing told Lao Yuan the urgency of time in another way, regardless of whether the conditions could be met or not, it was always right to go to Zhongshan City first.

"I can control the ichthyosaur, but the premise is to kill the ** first, and you can't hide the matter of killing the centipede for long...... I know where it is, but in my current state, I'm afraid it's hard to win in Tongtian Hanoi. ”

Lao Yuan's injuries were stabilized with Yan Jing's assistance, but it was obviously unrealistic to recover in a short period of time.

"Find a way to lure the ** out, and when it comes to land, we will be able to win the battle with three against one!"

Not only Lao Yuan, but Zhu Xia also didn't want to fight in Tongtian River, and her ability was difficult to exert in the water.

"I'm afraid it's a little troublesome, turning ** is the Tongtian River that I only seized after receiving a task, and I have not been found in this Pearl Waterfall for so long, and there is also a reason for this."

The implication of Lao Yuan's words is very clear, turning ** will not easily leave Tongtian River, on the other hand, they do not have chips in their hands that can lure each other out.

"Don't bother, I'll go with you and solve it in Tongtian River!"

Nibbling on a piece of venison, Yan Jing said as he chewed.

It was one thing for the World Origin to be polluted, making it difficult for Yan Jing to mobilize water spiritual power.

The enhancement of Yan Jing's strength by the hegemony trait is another matter.

This Tongtian River is also Yan Jing's home field.

The old turtle glanced at Yan Jing in surprise, and then turned his gaze to Zhu Xia.

Seeing the latter nodding, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, the old turtle was originally a mortal situation, but now relying on Yan Jing to pick up a life, it is willing to fight for the future of this heaven and earth.

After discussion, Yan Jing decided to wait for dawn and set off for Tongtian River.

First, considering that Lao Yuan and Zhu Xia need time to cultivate, and secondly, at this point in time, the fish dragon is still on the way back from Zhongshan City, even if he kills the **, he can't go, and it is easy to cause other troubles.

The barbecue was quickly served.

Zhu Xia meditated on the side, and Yan Jing used the medicine and talisman prepared in the space to heal the old turtle's wounds, and let the latter recover as much as possible.

"The battlefield can be the Tongtian River, but it's best to find a hidden place to make sure that the news of being killed doesn't spread."

Sending the healing talisman to the wound on the old turtle's chest, Yan Jing pondered.

"Can I find out why?"

The old turtle asked with some confusion.

It's not easy to make a demon king die silently.

"You'll understand then."

Rubbing the Spirit Ring on his index finger, Yan Jing said in a deep voice.
