Chapter 426: Everything in One Palm (Part I)
I have to say.
Some things are just full of coincidences.
After looking at the map outlined by Chen Jing with energy, the mouse named Jerry immediately decided that the "treasure house of the old days" marked on the map was the location of the dungeon.
"When those old people chose to build a city there, would it have anything to do with the treasure trove of the old days?"
"I don't know."
"Could it be that they have already found that treasure trove, so they have the ability to unite and expel the polluting species?"
"If they do find that treasure trove, I'm afraid it's not just the pollutants who will be expelled, maybe they would have started conquering this continent thousands of years ago, and organizations like the Council would not have a chance to rise."
……
On the way to the River Styx, Chen Jing has been chatting with "him" about the dungeon, especially the connection between the Elysium and the old treasure house.
No matter how you think about it...... Chen Jingdu felt that those old descendants must have found something underground, and the ancient gods of the Western Continent were also summoned from the coordinates of the old treasure house.
"Good grandson, you said that the old gods didn't want us to go to the dungeon, saying that it was its lair...... Could this have something to do with the treasure troves of the past? ”
Sitting on Bai Aji's back, Chen Bofu stared intently at the undulating mountains in the distance, only to feel that the surface of the Western Continent seemed to have turned into a liquid state, like the tide in the sea.
This is a vision caused by the appearance of the old gods.
When he and Randolph and others broke into the Western Continent, he had seen this kind of chilling picture, but he didn't expect it to be like this after so many years, and ...... This old god seems to be much stronger than before.
The last time I came to the Western Continent, the vision caused by the ancient gods covered an area of about hundreds of kilometers, and in that area, everything merged with the ancient gods, and almost every loess sand stone became a part of the ancient gods.
But this time.
At least thousands of kilometers of land have been "alienated" by it.
"It should know about the treasures of the old." Chen Jing calmly stared at the mountain range in front of him, and said softly, "So it doesn't want us to go, it's as simple as that." ”
"Then will we ...... if we go now," Chen Bofu frowned.
"Before I went to negotiate with it, I left a mark on you of the deep space, and it was proof that you could enter the deep space......"
When Chen Jing said this, a vague golden totem appeared on everyone's chest, including the Jerry Mouse.
That was the mark of the Yellow King.
But now it belongs to Chen Jing.
"That's why you went to negotiate with it?"
"Sort of." Chen Jing scratched his head with a smile, and said helplessly, "To be honest, I'm quite afraid of this ancient god of the Western Continent, although it is said on the surface that if you don't violate its rules, you won't be attacked by it, but who knows if it will suddenly change its hexagram?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Bofu couldn't help but nod.
In fact, this is what he has been worried about.
The rules of the ancient gods are not necessarily rules, they are just some kind of "rules" that have been passed down from generation to generation on this continent, and for those tribes who have lived here for a long time, it is like you must hold your breath when you jump into the water, otherwise you will drown and suffocate......
Yes.
It's just a rule.
So who can guarantee that the ancient gods can "speak their minds" and always follow this law?
"Grandpa, when I heard you tell me that there was an ancient god living here, I didn't feel quite right......"
Chen Jing said in a low voice, thinking of the treasure map found in the two-dimensional space, his brows couldn't help but furrow.
"This kind of old creature that can be called a 'god' is definitely not comparable to the old descendants of the current era and the polluted species, it has lived here for thousands of years, and it is impossible not to know that the treasure is stored in ......"
According to the annotations and hints in the treasure map, Chen Jing could be sure that the treasure house was not in some hidden space.
It's underground.
Maybe hundreds of meters.
Maybe a few thousand meters.
In short, it must have been buried deep underground, not separated and placed in an extradimensional dimension.
Therefore, nine times out of ten, "Xi" knows about its existence.
Chen Jing wanted to negotiate with it because of this.
Everyone is in the light, but the old god is in the dark.
Rather than letting both sides temporarily pretend to ignore each other's existence and watch out for each other in the shadows, it is better to knock the mountain and shock the tiger directly.
Perhaps this deterrence is useful, or it may only be superficially useful.
But it's always good to give it a try.
If it's useful, it can save you a lot of trouble, but if it's useless...... At least he will be prepared to be attacked by the ancient gods, and he will no longer have any other thoughts about the so-called rules of the Western Continent.
In fact, Chen Jing has always had a backup plan.
However, he didn't mention it to anyone, because he couldn't be sure what the success rate of the plan was.
"If I keep jumping in deep space to get to my destination, after finding that treasure house, I will send everything in the treasure house directly into deep space, and then pat my ass and leave......"
Chen Jing was still talking to "him" about this before, and "his" views were also consistent with Chen Jing's thoughts.
Let's see what happens.
Since there is no way to determine whether those things can be "moved", or even whether the deep space jump method can enter the inside of the treasure house, this is destined to be a backup plan.
Only when the face is completely torn apart with the ancient gods, it is almost the same as taking the risk of doing so in the process of running away.
"Here we are."
When Chen Bofu stood up with a cigarette in his mouth, Chen Jing also saw the huge ring that appeared on the surface in front of him.
It is the so-called "River Styx", a dark ring-shaped river.
From a distance.
The River Styx fell to the ground like a giant ring, the land in the center had become muddy like a swamp, and the surrounding ring river was as silent as stagnant water.
It's windy in the wasteland.
But the waters of the River Styx have always been as calm as a mirror.
The blackened water was filled with strange colors, like a film of oil left behind by someone pouring gasoline into the water, and the sticky water emitted a foul smell......
"I remember Jerry saying that the entrance to the dungeon is a vertical downward staircase passage that can only be seen by outsiders when it floats up in the River Styx."
As he spoke, Chen Jing shrugged helplessly.
"Looks like we're unlucky, that passage didn't float......"
"Wait!" Jerry was wearing a miniature tuxedo and a top hat on top of his head, standing on Chen Jing's shoulder and looking at the River Styx, "Maybe the passage will appear soon!" ”
"Wait for the farts to eat! Let's just think of another way to go down! ”
Chen Bofu climbed on top of Bai Aji's head and looked down, and a crazy smile suddenly appeared on his old face.
"If Lao Tzu had known that the dungeon was hidden in this stinky ditch, I would have broken into it eight lifetimes earlier......"
