Lord of Time: From a Five Elements Cultivator to a Master of All Daos

Chapter 288: Deep into the secret place, low-intelligence dragon beast

“Feather dragons are good at flying. They often grow feather wings and soar in the sky. They are fast and have magical abilities similar to our human race.

"The scaly sub-dragon has thick and strong scales on its body and strong defense, surpassing other species of the same rank.

“The claw-type sub-dragon has a tough body, great strength, and decent attack, not much different from our human body-refining warriors.

"The ones guarding this place are mostly sub-dragons of these three types. Everyone, be careful."

Cen Lianping reminded softly.

Wei Zhong saw that the dragon in the sky had mostly red feathers on its body and a black crown on its head. Its circling speed was not fast, but its movements were very agile and its direction was extremely sensitive.

The chirping sound from its mouth could be heard from several miles away, and Wei Zhong and others in the mountains could hear it.

"Are these birds good at fire magic?"

Cen Lianping nodded:
"Yes, this bird dragon is called the Burning Flame Dragon by our Jiuzhou. It is good at spitting fireballs and can also spray fire breath for a long time. One or two of them may not pose a threat, but if surrounded by a group of birds, it is no different from being in a sea of ​​hell.

"And his vision is sharp, and he can see small objects on the ground clearly. It would be best for us to go deeper on foot."

As they were talking, everyone was already running forward.

Wei Zhong saw the ruins around, which seemed to be the traces of the defensive city that Jiuzhou had tried to build before and was then destroyed.

There are quite a few charred spots on it, most likely due to the attack of this Burning Flame Dragon.

After travelling for several miles on the ground, Wei Zhong and the others finally approached the outskirts of the secret place.

What surprised Wei Zhong was that once he got closer, the number of dragon beasts in the forest in front of him suddenly increased.

Although there were some sparse dragon beasts in the place we just passed, they were far less dense than the ones in front of us.

Black scaly dragons, like small hills, were lined up not far in front of the crowd, like a solid city wall.

'The information from Kyushu seems to be a stone iron dragon, which is said to be some kind of scaly beast in the mountains, catalyzed by the unicorn totem.'

In addition, there is a kind of dwarf dragon that bends its body and stands on two legs. Its body is insignificant compared to the Stone Iron Dragon, but its front claws are sharp and its movements are agile. It is a type of claw dragon that is extremely difficult to mess with. It is called the Swift Shadow Dragon.

Like a patrolling soldier, he patrolled the mountains and forests.

"What a solid defense."

The three dragons worked together to almost surround the forest completely.

Wei Zhongzhen was really puzzled as to why Cen Lianping and others came to such a dangerous place.

Turning his head, his expression changed a little, and after a while he said:
"There are more dragon beasts!"

He seemed to be shocked by the scene before him and was speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, a cry was heard in the air, and everyone was covered by a huge shadow.

"A sixth-level Burning Flame Dragon? This is the outskirts, how could there be a sixth-level dragon beast patrolling?"

Fortunately, this sixth-order dragon beast did not discover Wei Zhong and others. It circled here for a while and then flew to other places.

According to Cen Lianping, in the past one could only see the figures of those sixth-order dragon beasts if one went deep inside, and there were not many of them, only one at most. But at this time, before anyone could enter, they encountered one.

It can be seen that changes have indeed taken place in this secret place that Wei Zhong and others are not aware of.

The oriole was a little afraid:

"Well, are we still going in?"

Huang Shuya shook her head:

"When the time comes, how can we back down?"

Touched his forehead and hair:
"Don't worry, you have the Yimu Heavy Armor to protect you. As long as you don't provoke those sixth-level dragon beasts, the other dragon beasts can't do anything to you.

"And if you follow me, how can I not protect you?"

There was a hint of smile in the latter's eyes.

Among the crowd, Huang Li was the only one who was not good at fighting. Most of what he learned were auxiliary methods such as treatment and trapping.

"Fellow Daoist Huang is right. When the time comes, we can retire from the army, but no matter what, we have to go in and see what is going on.

"If you're lucky, you might get more."

As he spoke, a layer of armor appeared on Cen Lianping's body. It was only about the thickness of a fist and did not increase his height much. Compared with the Lihuo heavy armor that Huang Shuya had seen before, this armor could only be considered a first-class light armor.

The other people made similar movements, and the armor they wore was of similar size.

"It turns out that this Kyushu heavy armor also has this layer of light inner armor."

The armor of everyone did not seem to be fully functional, and their combat power was overflowing. There were no fancy spiritual flames on their bodies, only dense spiritual patterns.

The light in front of Wei Zhong's eyes became distorted, and the figures of the four people gradually faded away. As they moved away from the viewpoint of the naked eye, they almost blended in with the surrounding environment.

Even the spiritual sense investigation was blurry and unclear.

"Does Brother Jie have any means of covering up?"

Wei Zhong nodded, and using the invisibility and breath-concealing techniques, his figure faded and disappeared like the others, and the same happened when his spiritual sense was used to investigate.

Such a method also made several people feel relieved.

“The realms of the dragon beasts guarding and patrolling the periphery are not very high, most of them are at the second or third level, with the occasional fourth or fifth level interspersed in between.

"As long as we are careful and maintain the secret method of concealment, we will be able to go deep inside.

"Even if we are discovered by a dragon beast of the same level, we must kill it with lightning speed and not give it a chance to tip off. Of course, the killing method must also be as secretive as possible."

Several people listened to the words, and then followed Cen Lianping along a rugged mountain road into the secret place.

Sure enough, these low-level monsters on the periphery had almost no chance of discovering Wei Zhong and others, and were easily infiltrated by them.

The same is true even for patrolling fourth-level monsters.

"Be careful, there is a group of Burning Flame Birds feeding in the forest ahead, many of them are level three or four."

Wei Zhong looked up and found that it was a small lake in the mountains.

Many Burning Birds stood in the water, their red hairs washed clean.

The bird lifted its beak and scooped up a silver fish from the lake. The fish's head was slightly raised, and its scales were shiny, looking like seven colors under the sunlight.

'In this world, even the fish in the lake are dragons!'

With a sigh, Wei Zhong shook his head, pushed away the red flowers in front of him, walked around the lake, and continued running forward.

Passing through this area, the surrounding forests gradually become sparse and turn into large areas of rocky mountains.

"We are gradually approaching the core area of ​​the secret place. The level of dragon beasts will also rise to a higher level. Everyone, be careful."

The five people walked along the forest and saw a strange dragon beast walking among the rocks.

Its head is huge, almost taking up one-third of its body, and its four legs are as thick as pillars.

There was a hint of doubt in Cen Lianping's eyes, but he still led Wei Zhong and others to avoid this strange dragon beast that they had never seen before.

But unexpectedly, the other party's eyes suddenly turned and looked in the direction where Wei Zhong and others were fleeing.

Such an action scared everyone.

Then he opened his mouth wide, as if he was about to roar.

"Oh no, we're going to be discovered!"

There was a flash of cold light in Cen Lianping's hand, and he was about to kill the dragon beast. His action was extremely swift, but Wei Zhong's reaction was even faster.

He threw the invisible sword in his hand, and a barely visible sword light flashed, penetrating deep into the dragon beast's head, and with a casual twist, it killed its life. Its mouth was half open, unable to close, and its body collapsed to the ground.

At this time, Cen Lianping's flying sword was still halfway.

Wei Zhong flew over to collect the beast's corpse, and returned with an invisible magic sword in his hand.

Cen Lianping looked at Wei Zhong's palm:

"Another fifth-tier magic sword. How much has this monk named Xie hidden?"

The sword in Wei Zhong's hand was the invisible sword he got from Mi Tian's clone.

It is forged from a material with partial void properties. In the human world, it is elusive and travels through the shattered void.

But after arriving in the demon world, the underlying rules of the world have become more powerful, and it is impossible to shatter space.

Now, its only advantages are invisibility, extremely fast sword speed, etc.

It is a fifth-level magic sword that can kill people without them being seen. It is much better than the one in Cen Lianping's hand.

The magic sword disappeared, and Wei Zhong had found the reason why everyone was exposed in the Demon Abyss Palace.

"Pollen, smell?"

This dragon has a very developed olfactory system in its head, and its lungs are larger than those of ordinary dragon beasts.

It was because they detected the smell of pollen on Wei Zhong and others that they issued the warning.

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered clean water to wash themselves.

"I haven't seen this dragon beast last time. It seems that it is a species that has only been added recently," Cen Lianping explained.

"If we continue to go deeper, we might encounter other dragon beasts. If we meet one we don't recognize, we'd better stay away from it and avoid it.

"Perhaps there are other dragon beast species with more sophisticated detection methods."

Several people nodded slowly, agreeing with what Wei Zhong said.

After this accident, everyone became more cautious, and after that, whenever they encountered several strange dragon beasts, they would quietly avoid them.

For this purpose, he even did not hesitate to get close to a large number of stone and iron dragons.

Fortunately, these stone dragons only have strong defenses and no other advantages, so the people who hid their whereabouts did not notice them at all.

"There are more and more fifth-level dragon beasts!"

As everyone went deeper, they found that the level of these dragon beasts had indeed risen to a higher level.

However, what surprised Wei Zhong was that the dragon beasts in this demon world did not seem to have much intelligence.

Take the monsters in the human world for example. At the third stage, they have some intelligence. At the fourth stage, they can communicate with humans just like humans. At the fifth stage, they are cunning by nature and know how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and survive in a miserable way.

However, most of the dragon beasts in this demon world have incomplete intelligence, and neither the fourth nor fifth level ones seem to show much wisdom.

Wei Zhong felt that it was more inclined towards animal instincts.

'Is it the underlying rules of the world, or is it the belief in totem poles that causes intellectual degeneration?'

Wei Zhong couldn't get an answer.

Suddenly, the mountains and rocks in front of my eyes changed, and large green areas, towering trees, and low bushes appeared again, as if I had suddenly traveled from one world to another.

"This spiritual energy?"

Wei Zhong raised his right hand and sensed that the spiritual energy here was extremely rich, almost the top level among the five levels.

"Could this be a sixth-level spiritual vein?"

Cen Lianping nodded:
“The spiritual vein here is indeed level six, but it only exists in the innermost core.

"We are currently in the fifth-level spiritual land. The number of dragon beasts inside is beginning to decrease, but the level will be greatly improved, and the lowest level is the fourth-level dragon beast.

“There are quite a few fifth-level dragon beasts, and there may even be sixth-level dragon beasts stationed there.

"In order to contact the strange dragon beasts in the core, we may have to conflict with the beasts in the periphery."

Cen Lianping glanced at a few people:
“If we are discovered later, I hope Fellow Daoist Jie can help attract the dragon beast’s attention. Huang Shuya and Chu Haoming will be responsible for assisting and sharing the pressure.

"I went deep into it with Huangli, trying to capture the dragon beast..."

After a brief division of labor, everyone continued to move forward.

Just as Cen Lianping said, the level of the dragon-type monsters has increased significantly.

Those at the third level and below cannot be seen at all, and the lowest level is the fourth level.

They are distributed throughout the mountains and forests, patrolling their surroundings vigilantly.

The roar of the Burning Flame Dragon in the sky above never stopped, and sparks came out of its mouth and nose from time to time, as if it was holding a furnace of magma.

After passing through a large area of ​​forests, Wei Zhong looked up and saw a mountain towering into the clouds.

It was obscured by clouds and mist, and was also obscured by the Burning Flame Dragon, so it was not discovered in time even from a distance.

Below the mountain, there were even more densely packed monsters, surrounding the foot of the mountain like a palm-leaf fan.

A little higher up, there is a Burning Flame Dragon hovering low in the sky.

"This is troublesome. The defense is so tight. What kind of abnormality has happened here?"

Cen Lianping looked a little anxious, and turned to look at everyone:

"The defense is too tight. It's impossible to avoid being discovered. I'll have to trouble you three to attract attention."

Wei Zhong nodded. This was the transaction condition that had been agreed upon long ago.

Huang Shuya and Chu Haoming looked at each other and both of them had already prepared themselves.

"In that case, let me lead the way!" Huang Shuya said so, and the armor on her body was replaced. The huge Lihuo heavy armor covered her body surface. Her tall body suddenly emerged, and flames erupted, attracting the attention of a large number of dragon beasts.

Two gun muzzles appeared on the arm armor, and two fireballs shot out, creating a violent explosion among the beasts at the foot of the mountain.

All the fourth-level dragon beasts were blown away, and only the fifth-level dragon beasts reacted, breaking through the smoke and dust and charging towards everyone.

Halfway through, a golden line suddenly appeared, wrapped in sharp golden energy, and cut through the body of a large dragon beast like a trap set in the void.

Wei Zhong's invisible sword shuttled through the air to help finish off the enemy. No matter whether it was the fifth-order Burning Flame Dragon or the Swift Shadow Dragon with sharp dragon claws, they were no different from ordinary pieces of meat under Wei Zhong's invisible sword.

It was easily swept away, and the broken limbs fell to the ground in an instant.

"There are different levels of fifth-level monsters. Obviously, the ones in front of us are far inferior to the dragon that Wei Zhong saw in the human world."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cen Lianping and Huang Li had already entered the mountain through the breakthrough created by the three people.

Only then did Wei Zhong see that there was a huge cave at the foot of the mountain.

Chu Haoming pulled with both hands, and a thin golden thread immediately flew back from the dragon beast and fell into his hands.

"It turned out to be such a strange magical instrument."

The other party practiced "Spring and Autumn Alchemy Art", but did not follow the traditional path of gold sword practice, but found another way.

"But the destructive power is quite impressive."

The blood color spread, and the strong smell of blood seemed like a catalyst that stimulated the dragon beast's madness.

There was a loud cry in the sky, and a huge burning dragon swooped down, its beak spread out, and its breath of fire swept across Wei Zhong and the other two...
