Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Dragon Palace.

Deep in the hall.

The old dragon was coiled on a stone chair, holding in his hand a crystal clear, lustrous ice jadeite.

This is the most proud piece among his many collections.

This is the nature of dragons.

When you see something like a glowing elixir bead, you will do whatever it takes to get it.

However, this one was not obtained through scramble, but was found from a shipwreck.

Through the ages.

Countless large and small ships sank in Dongting Lake.

Whenever Lao Jiao has free time, he will patrol the lake, actually searching for treasure in shipwrecks.

You're welcome to say that.

With its strength.

You can easily go to any antique shop in the provincial capital and become a master appraiser.

However, there is still an insurmountable gap between humans and monsters.

Into the secular world.

Or you can’t fit in.

Or they will be slain by the monks and Taoists.

so……

It would be better to hide in the Dragon Palace and watch the dynasties come and go and the world change.

Played with it for a while.

A hint of satisfaction appeared in the old dragon's amber eyes. He opened his mouth and swallowed the jade bead into his stomach. Then he raised his head and looked outside the door of the hall. The dark lake water was flowing slowly. There was silence and no movement at all.

See this situation.

A trace of impatience flashed across the old dragon's face.

How long has it been?

The old turtle has not returned yet.

If it wasn't for the old man who had followed it for many years, anyone else would have been swallowed by it in one bite.

"Somebody come!"

Think for a moment.

The old dragon's eyes became more and more restless. He raised his claws and slapped them heavily. In an instant, a huge force of water surged and swept out in all directions like a wave.

The neatly arranged objects in the hall were scattered all over the floor in an instant.

Simultaneously.

A figure covered in black, like a snake or python, came in from outside the door.

It turned out to be a rare water centipede.

It's one or two meters long.

The shell seemed to be cast from molten iron, and under the illumination of the night pearls around it, it emitted a chilling faint glow.

"Has the old turtle come back?"

"To answer your Majesty, no."

The water centipede is also an old monster. It was enlightened by the old dragon and turned into a monster by chance. Unfortunately, its strength is a little weak, and it has been doing the job of closing the door.

"How long have you been there?"

"Master Old Turtle set out yesterday at midnight. Now... now, it has been almost a day and a half."

"One and a half days!"

Hear the words.

The old dragon's eyes narrowed slightly.

This took longer than it expected.

Junshan Island is right in the lake, and it can be reached in half a minute at most. No matter how powerful Taoist Li is, the seal should have loosened long ago after two or three hundred years.

More than a day.

Not done yet.

What a glutton.

Feeling its sudden rage.

The water centipede felt as if it had fallen into an icy cave, and it lay on the floor tiles shivering. The dragon is the leader of all scaled insects, and it was just an aquatic insect, and it was lucky enough not to faint on the spot after being rushed by the old dragon's momentum.

"A bunch of trash."

"Alright, get out!"

See what it looks like.

The old dragon was even more furious.

The Dragon Palace is so huge, but no one can use it. This feeling is even more painful than killing it.

"Yes……"

Although being scolded, the water centipede felt relieved.

He didn't even dare to raise his head and ran away quickly.

Only after it got out of the Dragon Palace gate did it breathe a sigh of relief.

After a while.

Inside the Dragon Palace, deathly silence returned once again.

The old dragon lay on a stone chair, the long beard on the side of his neck swaying back and forth with the water, but the coldness in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

call!
I don’t know how long it will take.

Those motionless eyes suddenly flashed a few times.

Subsequently.

A wisp of demonic consciousness appeared out of thin air from the Niwan Palace.

Since there is no one available, it has to take action itself.

His eyes slowly closed, and the old dragon uttered a very strange word. It sounded extremely obscure, as if it came from his belly.

But, almost at the moment when the word was uttered.

The demon's consciousness seemed to be pulled by something invisible.

Break the water.

Head straight to the lake.

This secret method is considered one of the innate magical powers of the dragon. However, it is ultimately inferior to the primordial spirit and can only vaguely sense the location of things such as life essence and blood.

Yesterday, in order to open the seal of the Dragon Locking Well as soon as possible.

It specially bestowed a scale armor on the old turtle.

It is of use now.

The demon's consciousness broke through the lake and headed straight for Junshan Island. He sat cross-legged on a stone chair, and felt that everything in front of his eyes was blurry, and he could vaguely see the picture constantly changing.

at last.

The demon consciousness stays.

The scene in front of its eyes also froze.

It seemed to be a quiet spring, with clear water surging back and forth. Behind it was a cliff with lush green vegetation, but...

Deep under the water.

It felt an extremely familiar breath.

One bright and one dark, two faint lights intertwined and flickered.

Scale armor!

It was its scales.

What the old dragon didn’t understand was why the scales given to the old turtle appeared in the depths of a mysterious spring.

Subconsciously, the demon saw through the spring water and went deep into it.

We were less than three or five meters in.

The old dragon's pupils dilated instantly.

It clearly saw through its blurry vision that deep under the water, Wu Yi was sitting there with scales hanging above his head. A demonic aura was slowly coming out of his mouth and was being refined back and forth.

And the other light was slightly dimmer.

It comes from its back.

The old dragon recognized it immediately. It was the one it gave to Wu Yi at the Dragon Palace ceremony many years ago to protect his life.

did not expect.

Now, after many years, it can be seen again.

only……

Why did even the one in the old turtle's hand fall into its hands?

And look at its incredibly skillful movements.

It was obvious that he intended to completely refine the scales and take them for himself.

and so.

Sitting on the stone chair in the main hall, the old dragon shook his head slightly, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing an indescribable cold indifference.

The cold air surged out from its entire body.

The lake water that was originally flowing seemed to be completely frozen in an instant.

How could it not understand at this moment?

The reason why the old turtle had not returned yet was obviously because he was killed by that rebellious son, and even the scales and armor that he had given him were taken away.

Treason!
It's simply courting death!
Bang!
The old dragon let out a low roar.

A huge body walked out from the stone chair, and in an instant, the heavy ice blocks in front of him shattered into countless pieces with a bang, and cracks spread out in all directions like a spider web.

Wait for it to leave the stone chair.

The ice has turned into lake water again.

The old dragon moved, broke through the lake like lightning, and appeared outside the Dragon Palace.

The water centipede sitting on the ground couldn't bear its anger at all. Its whole body was rolled up directly, and it had no power to resist. It was not until the dragon left that it was smashed down and hit the ancient wall of Dragon Palace.

"This……"

"Who is the plague again? Why offend it?"

The water centipede struggled to get up from the ground.

Looking at the direction where the old dragon disappeared, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Looking at the uncontrollable murderous intent, it was obvious that someone was going to be in trouble again. However, the fire in the city gate affected the fish in the pond, and it, a small fish, was also dragged into it, which was really annoying.

call--

Deep in the spring.

Wuyi, who was refining his scale armor, suddenly opened his eyes and looked upward.

For some reason, it always felt as if someone was spying on it.

But now look carefully.

There is nothing again.

"Strange thing..."

Wu Yi curled his lips and was about to continue refining the scales, but the next moment, a tremendous pressure as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was breaking suddenly enveloped him.

There is an indescribable feeling of palpitations.

It seems like a disaster is about to happen.

Birds and beasts have an instinctive sense of danger.

It only encountered it twice in its life.

This is one time.

The last time was not too far from today, just over half a month ago, when the phoenix swooped down from the sky and its sharp claws broke through the tortoise shell behind it like cutting paper, which made Wu Yi's heart palpitate even more strongly.

It even smelled death.

This situation is by no means unusual.

The only possible danger.

"It's... Old Jiao!!"

An extremely terrifying thought emerged in Wuyi's mind.

Came so fast!

How long has it been since last night?

I thought I could at least refine the scales, but I didn't expect its sense of smell to be so sensitive and it reacted so quickly.

Therefore, the feeling of being peeped just now was not an illusion.

But the old dragon actually appeared here.

dong dong dong-

Think of this.

Wuyi's heart couldn't help but pounding wildly and he couldn't sit still any longer. He opened his mouth and swallowed the scales in one gulp. Then he quickly escaped from the Youquan Ancient Well, identified the direction briefly, and headed towards Chashan Island.

but……

Before I could take a step.

A calm voice came into my ears.

"Why are you panicking?"

"Go back and sit tight."

Mr. Chen?!

Hearing that familiar voice, Wu Yi's pupils widened.

It had long guessed that Mr. Chen was incredibly powerful, but it only realized at this moment that it seemed to have underestimated how powerful he was.

This place is at least two or three miles away from Chashan Island.

Only then did he emerge from the bottom of the water.

Mr. Chen's instructions have already arrived.

There is only one possibility.

That is, every blade of grass, every tree, and every move on the entire Junshan Island are all under his control.

and so……

The old dragon couldn't escape his sight either.

Moreover, hearing Mr. Chen's tone so calm and composed, perhaps he had already set up a large formation in a place that he could not see.

Just like what I said last night.

Just waiting for the old dragon to fall into the trap.

Thinking of this, Wu Yi's mind suddenly calmed down. He lowered his head and responded, then sank into the deep spring water again.

Waiting quietly.

On top of the cliff of Chashan Island.

Chen Yulou stood with his hands behind his back. His aura was as gentle as water, without any fluctuations. He just looked calmly towards the lake.

The sky is clear today and the lake is calm.

From time to time, you can see a few large ships sailing slowly past with their sails hoisted, breaking through the waves.

wow-

Suddenly.

Dark clouds suddenly rose.

The lake, which had been clear all of a sudden, became dark, and the calm water began to surge, with waves crashing against the shore, hitting the islands, rocks, and the large ships.

"what happened?"

"Why did it suddenly get dark?"

"The weather has changed. Damn it, this is really weird. It's not June, how can it change so suddenly?"

"Don't go out, kid. Didn't you hear the strict order that Master Jiu gave yesterday? Lock yourself in the room for the next few days and don't leave at all."

"It's obviously going to rain heavily, why can't we go out?"

"It's up to you. Jiu Ye said that anyone who disobeys his orders will be expelled from Changsheng Mountain. As long as you can bear the consequences, then go ahead."

"Well, forget it. It's so hard to find such a good job without worrying about food and clothing these days."

"Speaking of which, I feel like something is wrong with the weather today. It seems like there are dark clouds over the lake."

"Never mind. It's better to sleep when it rains."

Similar scenes are constantly played out in Dongting Temple, Junshan Temple, and many small courtyard stilt houses in Qianshan.

As for the boatmen and fishermen who were sailing on the lake, they were even more panicked. They all stepped on the rudder and increased the speed to the extreme, just wanting to get to the shore quickly and hide.

This wave is too powerful.

There is a risk of capsizing.

A shipload of human lives and cargo, even if you gamble their lives, you can't afford to pay.

"It's not right that it's dark."

"Brother, have you noticed that there seems to be a demonic fog approaching the lake?"

"It must be that old dragon."

"So what are you waiting for, brother? Let's go dragon hunting."

"Don't worry. Since Brother Chen didn't send any message, it means that we should continue to wait. If you go there rashly, what if you alert the enemy? Wouldn't that ruin everything?"

"Right……"

Outside the ancient cave.

Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner stood side by side with their hands hanging down.

With their level of cultivation, it was not difficult to see the clues. Moreover, the old dragon had no intention of hiding his body from beginning to end, and his anger almost overturned Dongting Lake.

"coming!"

The front yard of Junshan Temple.

Kunlun, who was sitting by the ancient well, was wiping the halberd bit by bit.

Suddenly.

He slowly raised his head and said in a deep voice.

Not far away, Yang Fang, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground meditating and regulating his breathing, suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at the sky that suddenly darkened.

There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

“This is quite a big deal.”

"What, are you scared?"

Kunlun glanced at him sideways, put down the cloth strip, and instead wrapped the black scarf placed aside around the handle of the halberd.

"afraid?"

"I, Yang Fang, was born without this word."

Hear the words.

Kunlun couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

It only takes a few seconds to wrap up the halberd.

Unfortunately, the dragon-scale heavy armor was no longer there, but was left in Shijun Mountain and handed over to Li Shuguo for repair.

The group from the ancient city of Jingjue are fighting against the snake god.

The heavy armor was broken in several places.

but……

As long as he has the halberd, he will dare to charge into battle even if it is just a flood dragon or a real dragon.

Monkey Cave.

As the sky suddenly darkened.

A group of monkeys who were busy brewing wine in the cave raised their heads, rushed to the cave entrance, looked outside curiously, and chattered about something.

but……

soon.

They felt a terrifying force like breaking the sky coming towards them.

The pressure was so great that they could hardly breathe.

"return."

"Hide in the cave."

They had never felt such a terrifying situation.

They were so frightened that they all stood there, trembling.

It was not until a hoarse and old voice was heard that the monkeys felt relieved and fled back to the depths of the cave. They crowded together and looked at the figure sitting cross-legged on the bluestone.

It was actually an old ape with a snow-white body.

But he was wearing a long gown, just like everyone else.

"That's the old dragon in the lake. It's very likely to transform into a dragon in the future. You guys should just stay away from it and don't wander around."

Yuan Hong reminded with a smile.

Then he picked up the iron rod next to him and put it on his back. Feeling its heavy weight, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This iron rod.

Although it took a long time to get it.

But it is rarely used.

This time, since the master wants to hunt dragons and surround dragons, it naturally has to put in some effort.

Bamboo shoot mountain.

A building on stilts.

Hua Ling and Hong Girl were leaning against the window on the second floor.

Looking at the rising waves on the lake, the two girls did not show any signs of panic or fear.

Just waiting with a smile.

It's like a big drama is about to begin.

Rumbling--

Not long after.

There are dark clouds overhead.

The scorching sun disappeared completely.

A burst of thunder suddenly sounded, and fiery lightning flashed back and forth in the dark clouds, followed by heavy rain pouring down.

The moment when the rain curtain spread across the lake.

The old dragon also broke out of the lake and dragged its body onto Junshan Island.

"Everyone, the big fish has been hooked. Concentrate your energy and surround and kill them."

"Tonight... we're eating roasted dragon meat!" (End of this chapter)
