Chapter 1: Deep Pool Shock

Next Chapter

"No, that dragon...... I'm afraid it's over!"

Luo Xiao stood on the high watchtower, looking at the misty distant mountains in disbelief. Just a moment ago, he was practicing archery at the temporary training ground under the tower, when he saw a meteor heavenly fire smashing towards Longyuan Mountain, and the earth shook immediately, and the beasts were frightened. Look at the direction, it is the legendary Jiaolong deep pool.

As a disciple of the Xiuwu Hall, Luo Xiao's task is to patrol Longyuan Mountain, and once he finds any changes, he will report immediately. Now it's not just a change, it's a sensation!

Since a month ago, the legendary dragon swallowed day and night, and the dragon mirage spread for hundreds of miles, causing a commotion among the beasts in Longyuan Mountain, and the county government was worried about the formation of a beast tide and endangering the living beings, so it ordered Xiuwutang to send disciples to build towers to lookout, take turns to monitor, and once there is a change, it will be summoned immediately.

It's just a sentry, and it doesn't require much good skills, so the martial arts hall is characterized as a third-level task, and the people sent are all low-level disciples below the martial arts triple level, and Luo Xiao is one of them. And today is his shift, but he didn't expect that there was no movement for a whole month, but such a drastic change occurred when it was his turn to be on duty.

Luo Xiao, who woke up from the shock, was full of excitement, and pulled out a special arrow with red paint from the quiver hanging from his waist, put it on a stone bow in his hand, and shot the bow quickly, the arrow soared into the sky, bursting out of dazzling light in mid-air, and it could be seen clearly within a radius of ten miles. It is believed that the stronghold ten miles away will send people back to the city on fast horses to inform Xiuwutang and the government and send reinforcements.

In fact, even if he didn't shoot an arrow, with this huge movement, it would be difficult not to hear it within a radius of tens of miles. It's just that the responsibility lies, and what needs to be done must be done.

The warning signal was issued, and Luo Xiao was faced with two choices next: wait for reinforcements and then enter the mountain, or investigate first?

How dangerous Longyuan Mountain is, as a child of Orion, Luo Xiao knows better than anyone else, he really doesn't want to go into the mountain alone to find out what this earth-shattering movement is about, but he has no choice. Because it's already afternoon, and if you wait for reinforcements to arrive, it's already dark. As soon as it was dark, no one dared to enter Longyuan Mountain, and after a night, no one dared to say what new changes would happen to the situation.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to find out what happened in the mountains first, assess whether it will cause a tide of beasts, and then report to the authorities, this is his duty, otherwise it is a dereliction of duty. It seems that once a low-level disciple like him is found to be derelict in his duties, the result waiting for him is to be expelled from the Martial Arts Hall, and his cultivation path will be broken. And in order to let him study martial arts, his grandfather, who changed his fate but gave away his life, will also die blindly.

Luo Xiao turned his heart sideways: "No matter, fight hard, just go into the periphery to have a look, at least the patrol deacon will have an explanation when he asks." Even if there is danger, with my familiarity with Longyuan Mountain, it will not be difficult to escape. ”

In fact, in addition to his duties, Luo Xiao has a strong curiosity. What was that meteor fire? What was going on in the valley? Why did the dragon's groans disappear after the earthquake? Reason kept him away, but a strong curiosity drove him to find out. After all, he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and that was when his curiosity was at its strongest.

His character is resolute, and since he has decided, he will do it, and he will never look ahead or backward. Put a bow on your back, bring a knife, carry a spear, and then pull out all the arrows and even the practice arrows on the arrow target, make two pots of arrows, and just like that, you will run towards Longyuan Mountain.

When Luo Xiao cautiously entered the mountain, he was surprised to find that there were no beast attacks along the way, and occasionally encountered a few beasts that were panicked, and drilled towards the nest one by one. It seemed that the power of that huge vibration was too great, and the beasts of the entire Longyuan Mountain and even the higher-level spirit beasts hid in their lairs and did not dare to come out.

He has been hunting with his grandfather since he was a child, and for nearly ten years now, he has never been able to go around the periphery, and he has not dared to go deep at all.

Longyuan Mountain is both a dangerous place and a treasure mountain, and if you enter the treasure mountain, how can you return empty-handed?

Luo Xiao heard that there are many places in the depths of the valley guarded by spirit beasts, and strange flowers and plants grow, each of which is a natural treasure for martial artists to cultivate. On weekdays, he didn't have the ability to steal herbs from the claws of these powerful spirit beasts, and now that almost all the beasts were shocked back to their lair, it was a godsend!

So, Luo Xiao went all the way deeper. The depths of Longyuan Mountain are inaccessible, except for the jungle in front of you, it seems to be endless, even if the sun is basking all day, it is still foggy and gloomy.

Luo Xiao wielded a knife all the way to cut through thorns and open up a way, at the cost of his clothes being hung into strips of cloth by thorns, and his skin, especially his arms, were also covered with blood. However, Luo Xiao was full of joy, because the price he paid was rewarded tenfold. Although he didn't encounter the heavenly and earthly treasures guarded by the most wanted spirit beasts along the way, he collected a lot of spiritual elixirs with great cultivation value and stuffed his waist full of cloth bags. He had already emptied some of the scraps of copper and two days' worth of dry food in the cloth bag, and even if he had an extra elixir, it was worth far more than that little money. As for dry food, Luo Xiao, who has rich experience in surviving in mountains and forests, can easily find alternative food to solve the problem.

At dusk, Luo Xiao, who was almost exhausted, walked out of the mountains and forests, and finally saw the legendary deep pool in the deep valley of Longyuan Mountain.

There is a legend in the west from generation to generation, there is a deep valley in Longyuan Mountain, there is a deep pool in the valley, the pool is unfathomable, there is a dragon hidden in it, and it is the king of all beasts in Longyuan Mountain. No one knows if it's true, but I heard from those who had sneaked in that the pool was bottomless and chilling.

And the so-called "dragon chant" that Luo Xiao heard during this period of time is only the speculation of the strong people in the county, whether this strong and coercive voice is from the legendary Jiaolong has not yet been confirmed.

However, Luo Xiao, who saw the scene, was already certain and certain - this is a dragon! a dragon that was broken into slag!

He was horrified to find that the legendary bottomless pool had been dyed blood-red and became a pool of blood. At the same time, the pool water seemed to be evaporated by an incomprehensible special force, and the eyes were full of hazy mist, filling the entire valley, this mist was scorching hot, and it only took a moment to make Luo Xiao's face red and sweaty, as if he had walked into a giant bathhouse.

Luo Xiao hurriedly mobilized the little wisp of vitality in the dantian, and traveled all over the body, where the vitality passed, the muscles and veins were connected, and the five organs were ironed, which made him feel better.

The edge of the pond was full of large areas of blood, muscles and flesh splashed, broken bones all over the ground, most of them were charred black, as if they had been burned by strong fireworks, only a small section of the tail like a giant fish was still intact. And a strange tusk the size of ivory, with a circle of gold patterns on it, is enough to prove that this is the king of the beasts of Longyuan Mountain, the powerful top spirit beast Jiaolong!

Luo Xiao was short of breath, both because of the suffocation of the air, and because of the inexplicable fear of the inexplicable death of the powerful dragon in front of him. He just wanted to get out of here now, who knows if there was a second extraterrestrial meteor? But before that, he had to take the benefits he deserved, and this kind of great opportunity was not something that could be encountered casually.

The teeth, scales, tails, and a section of the tendon that has been melted off most of them are all treasures! Luo Xiao was very happy to receive it with the package, the package could not be filled, and he took out the only piece of clothing used for washing and changing to continue packing. The fangs are too long, so they can only be tied with straw rope and carried on their backs. It's a pity that most of the remaining three huge fangs have been shattered, in addition to some fine broken fangs, as well as the skin, tendons, and toes of the claws are all broken to the point of being unusable, which makes Luo Xiao feel a pity.

At this time, Luo Xiao had a big bag and a small bag, and he was really full of harvest.

Just as Luo Xiao was about to leave, his feet slipped and he almost fell. Looking closely, the ground revealed a hemispherical thing, like an inverted sea bowl, the color was bright white, emitting a hazy glow, causing his dantian vitality to be faintly disordered.

Luo Xiao was surprised, took a few steps back, and ran his vitality, although he was a little sluggish, he didn't feel the damage, and then he was relieved. After relaxing, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: "Could it be Jiaolong's Neidan?"

He had seen some low-level spirit beast inner pills in the pill shop in the city, and he had also explained several characteristics of the inner pill in the martial arts cultivation class: first, it was very hard, the higher the rank, the stronger it was, and it would not crack if it was hammered; And the things on the ground fit the above two characteristics very well.

Luo Xiao used a knife as a shovel at the moment, dug a circle along the hemisphere, and picked up a bead the size of a sea bowl, crystal like jade, the tentacles were warm, and there seemed to be brilliance circulating in the bead, like a glowing miniature dragon - not to mention the vision in the bead, but the appearance of the bead was exactly the same as the illustrated book of the spirit beast Neidan in the classroom, but it was bigger and more exquisite. There is no doubt that it is Nedan, and it is now developed!

Wait, what's in the pit under Nedan......

Luo Xiao put his hands into the pit, slowly took out an egg-shaped meat membrane about the size of Neidan, smelled a wonderful fragrance, and pressed it hard, it was full of elasticity and very leathery, and he really couldn't see what it was. Judging from the strange superposition of the inner dan and the egg-shaped flesh membrane, it seems that the inner dan protects the egg-shaped flesh membrane with its own super tenacity.

"Could it be an egg?" Luo Xiao thought, but didn't he see another dragon? Forget it, put it away.

Two big eggs, uh, big beads, there is really no place to hold them all over the body, Luo Xiao's eyes stopped on his pants...... After loading the two big beads, it has been delayed a lot, Luo Xiao's breathing is getting worse and worse, and it's time to leave.

Just as he turned around, something suddenly appeared in front of him, floating gently in mid-air - Luo Xiao could swear that when he walked over before, there was absolutely no such thing, because it was so dazzling, if it had existed before, he would never have seen it.

It's a fist-sized, non-gold-not-jade ...... Stone. Yes, it looked like a stone door or a shattered corner of a stone monument, smooth and jagged at the same time. Such a stone should be inconspicuous, so ordinary that no one will pick it up if it is thrown on the ground. However, at this moment, this stone is not on the ground, but suspended in mid-air, just the difference in position, it clearly tells you that it is not ordinary!

Luo Xiao stood still and observed carefully for a while, the stone was still slightly sinking and floating, and there was no change, nor did it release danger.

Luo Xiao stared at the strange stone while groaning, his eyes gradually revealed decisiveness, and he stretched out his hand and grasped the strange stone. When he slowly opened his palm, he found that the strange stone had undergone strange changes: one would show the real stone, and the other would turn into nothing, and when the essence was displayed, the entire surface of the stone emitted a colorful light, hazy and dazzling but not dazzling, and when it turned into nothing, it was completely transparent, completely invisible, just like invisible. After a while, all the brilliance converged and turned back into an inconspicuous stone.

I see, it seems that this strange rock has always been there, but it was invisible just now, so I can't see it.

Luo Xiao was amazed, with his poor knowledge, he really couldn't see what kind of strange thing this was, but he could be sure of one thing, this was definitely a treasure! Very suddenly, a thought jumped out of his mind, the meteor that he had seen that day before, it couldn't be this strange stone, right? Immediately he shook his head with a smile, leaving this absurd idea behind, such a small thing, killing an extremely powerful dragon, almost no bones remained? It is completely impossible!

Just as he was out of his mind, he faintly heard a voice from the other side of the valley: "Hurry up, it's coming." ”

Luo Xiao was startled, and suddenly remembered that it was not only their Yishui City that set up an observation post, but also two other neighboring cities surrounding Longyuan Mountain: Yanshan City and Xiuyan City. Judging from the direction from which the voice came, it should be someone from the observation post of Yanshan City in the northwest.

The three cities under the jurisdiction of Heshuo County: Yishui, Yanshan, and Xiuyan, the competition for the cultivation halls in the three cities is fierce, and conflicts break out from time to time because of the distribution of cultivation resources.

Luo Xiao couldn't be clearer, if he was seen by the patrol deacon of the city's Xiuwu Hall, at most he would be asked to hand over part of the harvest in a certain proportion, and he would be able to leave a lot. And once it is seen by the deacon who patrols the Xiuwu Hall in the other two cities, I am afraid that there will not even be any scum left, and even in order to avoid being pursued by the Yishui Xiuwu Hall, it is not impossible to kill the mouth.

Luo Xiao immediately turned around and ran in the direction of Yishui City, and as soon as he rushed out of the valley, he found that a few people also appeared in the direction of Xiuyan City, and farther away, several figures also flashed in the direction of Yishui City. At this time, if he rushed out of the valley, the first person he would hit would be the people of Xiuyan City, with the strength of the patrol deacon at least the samurai-level, a low-level martial artist like him who was just a martial arts double condensation Yuan realm, he couldn't hold on to the Yishui City patrol team to come to pick him up, and he was directly killed in seconds. Don't say that the city's martial arts hall will seek justice for him, no one in this world will seek justice for a dead person, and a dead person with a low status.

You can only survive on your own!

At this time, he thought that if he could just jump into the pool, he could avoid such a crisis, but it was too late to run back to the deep pool, because the exclamation of the Yanshan City patrol team had already been heard from the direction of the deep pool, obviously seeing the bloody scene by the pool, and running back at this time was to throw himself into the net. The two sides of the valley road are smooth and steep and difficult to climb, and there is no shelter, there are really wolves in front and tigers in the back, and they are sandwiched in the middle.

Luo Xiao was in a hurry, he was still holding a strange stone in his hand, and in a hurry, his palm naturally tightened, only to feel a pain in his palm, but it was pierced by the sharp edge of the strange stone, oozing blood. Luo Xiao, who was anxious, didn't notice that a hazy colorful light burst out from the wound......

At this moment, Luo Xiao couldn't care about this little injury at all, he was so anxious that a picture couldn't help but flash in his mind, which was the picture of the strange stone being invisible just now.

"If only I could disappear like this strange rock......

Before Luo Xiao's thoughts were finished, the strange stone in his hand suddenly shone brightly, bursting out of circles of colorful glow, and the layers of halo that were conjured up enveloped Luo Xiao's whole body, turning his whole person into a white and dazzling luminous body. At this time, if someone on the side sees it, I am afraid that they will bow down and exclaim "God-man".

Luo Xiao's eyes were hard to open, and before he could feel it, his body tightened, and a strong force sucked in, and the whole person was sucked into the strange stone at once.

The strange stone that had lost its support was suspended in the air, and suddenly fell to the ground with a click, mixed with the rocks of the valley, inconspicuous. The texture becomes more and more transparent, and finally disappears completely.

The hollow valley was silent, as if no one had ever set foot on it, only the chaotic and hurried footsteps from the mouth of the valley were getting closer and closer......
