After taking a long breath to calm myself down, I slowly descended the stairs in the whirlpool.

As I walked, there was a sudden roar overhead, and when I looked up, I saw a huge curtain of water in the sky, completely obscuring the entrance to the whirlpool.

In this way, it was as if we were in an inverted funnel, completely covered in water on all sides.

Through the barrier formed by the whirlpool, I could even see that there were many monsters of different shapes, like fish and not fish, swimming by from time to time, opening their mouths at us, and shooting greedy light in their eyes.

Too lazy to look at those monsters, I just kept my head down and walked for I don't know how long, until I finally came to the deepest part of the whirlpool, which was also the bottom of the funnel.

It was very narrow, less than two or three square meters in circumference, with only a huge rock in the middle, and nothing else.

I stood on the steps of the previous floor, carefully examined the boulder, and when I looked at it, I noticed that there seemed to be a tiny crack in the boulder, and a faint light was radiating from the crack to illuminate the surroundings.

Could it be that this is the real entrance to the dragon vein?

I pondered for a moment, and soon an idea came to mind.

"Brother Bai, do me a favor."

I called Bai Ze to come over, and the two of them came to both sides of the boulder, centered on the crack, and dragged them vigorously to both sides.

As we continued to exert ourselves, the boulder made a clicking sound, and the crack continued to expand, and in a short time, it cracked to half a meter wide, forming a hole.

Dazzling light shone out from the cave, illuminating the entire bottom of the water as if it were day.

"Let's go!"

I beckoned to the crowd, and before I did, I slipped into the cave and crawled towards the source of the light.

As we progressed, the passage in the cave became more and more wide, and after about half an hour, we finally reached the exit and came out of the hole.

In front of me is a rolling Gobi, and a splendid palace stands in it.

The ray of light we saw earlier was emanating from the palace!

"Li Xia, do you think this is a ghost road?"

I turned to Lixia and asked.

"I—I don't know."

Li Xia was also full of doubts: "Mr. Cheng, why don't we go in first and have a look." ”

"Okay."

I nodded, and then walked into the palace with the others.

The palace gate was empty, and we pushed open the gate and walked smoothly into the main hall.

The main hall occupies a very large area, the walls around it are carved and painted, and on both sides of the main hall, there are six stone statues arranged in each place.

Each of these stone statues is five or six meters tall, wearing armor and holding a giant sword, and they look like the guardians of this palace.

The most surprising thing is that the heads of these stone statues are not human, but all carved in the form of animals.

Looking forward from the left, there are rats, cows, rabbits, dragons, and snakes......

Wait, these stone statues seem to be the zodiac!

Who built this palace, and why are the 12 zodiac statues carved in the palace?

All this, for us, is a mystery and does not know.

Passing through the middle of the stone statue, the stone steps in front of you gradually ascend, and there is a throne at the highest point, which is placed in it.

The throne was made of pure gold, and although it was empty, I could still feel how powerful and domineering the master who sat on this throne was!

After a few more steps forward, when I looked up again, I saw a figure on the throne.

The figure in a golden robe, with a majestic complexion, stared at me motionlessly.

I was shocked, and quickly rubbed my eyes, and when I looked up again, I found that the figure on the throne had disappeared.

What was the situation just now, could it be that I was dazzled?

"Did you just see a figure on that throne?"

I hurriedly turned around and asked Bai Ze and them.

"No, I didn't feel the breath of any living creatures from here, not even a ghost, Brother Cheng, you must have read it wrong."

Bai Ze said indifferently.

"Maybe......"

Without much explanation, I took a stride and took a closer look at the throne.

I don't know what age this throne was made, it looks like a complicated workmanship, and a swimming dragon starts from the place where it landed and extends to the top of the throne.

The dragon's head was right in the middle of the throne, glaring at all outsiders who broke into the palace.

I was looking down at the dragon tattooed on the throne when I noticed a drop of blood spilling from the dragon's open mouth.

Tick, tick......

Blood continued to drip from the dragon's mouth, and the throne was instantly stained with blood, turning a red color.

"Mr. Cheng, hurry up and find a bottle to collect those dragon essence blood!"

I was full of wonder, Li Xia appeared next to me at some point, and said with a hint of anxiety.

"Why, do you know what this blood is for?"

I turned to Lixia and asked.

"No, I don't know."

Li Xia hurriedly said: "I just feel that the essence blood in the mouth of this dragon should not be an ordinary thing, if it is collected, it will definitely be of great use in the future." ”

I thought about it, and thought it made sense, so I asked Lonnie if she had a bottle with her.

Lonnie shook her head, indicating that she didn't bring it, but quietly but volunteered to walk over and take out a clear bottle.

"This is what our Great Elder used to refine Gu before, you can use it."

I thanked him, took the bottle, put it under the dragon's mouth, and put all the dripping essence blood into the bottle.

Strange to say, this bottle looks not small, but just after a few drops, the essence blood has already overflowed from the mouth of the bottle.

And the dragon seemed to cooperate with me, seeing that the bottle was full, and there was no more blood dripping from the dragon's mouth.

I screwed the cap on, lifted the bottle, looked at the essence blood inside, and found that the blood inside was shining and constantly swimming on its own.

What Li Xia said just now is right, it seems that this dragon essence blood is indeed not a mortal thing, and when he goes back, he will hand it over to the third master Hu, he is an old man who is well-informed, and should know the use of this thing.

I was about to put the bottle away, when suddenly a dark shadow flashed in front of me and snatched the bottle.

When I reacted, I saw Li Xia standing not far away, holding the bottle tightly with both hands, and a look of crazy joy flowed from his eyes.

"Hahaha, after a lot of hard work, this dragon essence blood is finally in my hands!"

It happened suddenly, and I had long regarded Li Xia as my own person, and I was defenseless against him, so he easily snatched the bottle.

Not only me, but Lonnie, Bai Ze, and Jingjing were all stunned, and everyone didn't react, why did Li Xia do this.
