Chapter 80: Where is the Dragon Palace and the Charm of the God of Plague?

Woo——!
Woo woo————!
Woo woo woo——————!
Three trumpet blasts were heard, each louder and longer than the last.

Following the sound of the horn, I saw a water monster at the source of the Baishan River, holding a conch shell in her hand and blowing this magnificent horn sound.

The Baishan River has many sources, and this is the largest source, which is a lake. It has left the border of the Divine Dynasty and is no longer within the scope of the Divine Dynasty.

The lake itself is already outside Cangzhou, and the source of the lake is even farther away.

It seemed to come from a snow-capped mountain in the far west of the Divine Dynasty. The melted snow formed a big river and flowed to this place. Coincidentally, the terrain here is low, so the water accumulated day by day and became this magnificent lake before our eyes.

This is also the origin of the name "Baishan River", because the huge snow-capped mountain in the far west is called "Baishan". It can be said that more than 50% of the water in Baishan River comes from the melted snow from the other side.

It is said that the lake is twenty miles deep at its deepest point and covers an area of eight hundred miles in radius. In Gao Jian's opinion, it is not an exaggeration to call it an "inland sea".

But this is an extraordinary world, so it can only be called a 'lake'.

He rode on a walking dragon, full of vigor and vitality, with the horse and the man standing tall and straight, and arrived at the edge of the lake amid the sound of trumpets.

But suddenly, light emanated from the bottom of the water.

The light is dense and the shadows are heavy.

The water surface suddenly shook, as if the tide was rising, and the light under the water gradually became brighter, as if there was a ball of fire under the water.

The light made the world red, and fire trees and flowers blossomed under the water. After a while, as bubbles slowly emerged, golden lotus petals emerged on the water surface.

Then, a ball of fire appeared on the water surface.

The waves are rolling!

In an instant, Gao Jian intuitively felt what it meant to "turn the rivers and seas upside down."

It was so majestic, but the other party had only floated above the water. Suddenly, there was wind and rain, thunder and lightning, smoke and clouds, and floods!

The next moment, a divine turtle came out to sea!

A gigantic turtle emerged from the water, hundreds of feet long. Huge waves followed its emergence. The 'fire' that had been under the water before was actually its eyes!
This is the true body of a fifth-level great demon!

It is really bigger than a small mountain. Such a huge beast is simply too big to look at!
However, Turtle Prime Minister's eyes were glowing red. Although he had a turtle face, he had a very human expression, which was "gritting his teeth"!
"Long time no see, Gui Cheng." Gao Jian rode on the horse's back, clasped his hands, and performed a martial arts salute: "Last time we said goodbye, it was still the last time, Gui Cheng will not forget a small person like me, right?"

Baishan Jiangguicheng looked at Gao Jian.

The enemy is right in front of you, and you can bite him to pieces just by opening your mouth.

However, the young master of the Shui family came in person and wrote a visiting card on behalf of the other party.

...He really gained a foothold in Cangzhou and even bit back at the Zuo family.

The Zuo family is now in trouble, being forced by other families and has no time to spare.

Moreover, I heard that this person broke through to the second realm half a month after arriving in Cangzhou, and then killed a person in the third realm.

A person of the second realm killed a person of the third realm, was promoted by the Shangshu, and was looked at differently by the Cangzhou noble families. He also had some treasures in his hands. No matter how much they investigated, they could not find out who was behind him.

It was as if this person had fallen from the sky.

But can a person who falls from the sky have such things?
This person's background is absolutely unfathomable.

If you take this bite, maybe even the Baishanjiang water tribe will be buried with you.

As the grandson of the clan, the bloodline of the Golden Turtle is certainly important, but Prime Minister Turtle still knows what is important.

If he died in the wild or was assassinated by Yan Ge, then it would be easy to explain.

But if the other party publicly sent a visiting invitation and finally died in the Baishan River Dragon Palace, then it would be a big deal.

Therefore, Gui Cheng was silent for a while, and finally he managed to pull up the corners of his mouth and said, "Welcome, Captain Gao, why did you suddenly think of visiting the Dragon Palace?"

"Hi, I just came to take a look. Haven't I just arrived in Cangzhou? I've been wandering around the state capital, which is boring. Now that things in the state capital have come to an end, I came here to take a look and visit the Dragon Palace. I would like to offer you a small gift. I hope you can stay in the Dragon Palace for a while and take a look at the surrounding scenery." Gao Jian said, taking out a gift box from his bag.

The gift box contains a night-shining pearl, which must be very expensive, at least dozens of gold coins.

This was left behind by the shaman from one realm who brought tiger demons and snake demons to stop Gao Jian when they broke into the mass grave and were surrounded by the Zuo family. Gao Jian used this thing as a flashlight at the time.

Later, when he went to Jinyouzhai to sell the stolen goods, he kept this thing.

It just comes in handy now.

It must be said that when you visit someone, it is never good to go empty-handed. You should always have something to cover your hands.

But Gui Cheng’s eyes twitched.

This is really a big deal...

These things are used as street lamps in Baishanjianglong Palace, and there are hundreds of thousands of them.

But Gao Jian's heart was bleeding when he sent it out.

This time, dozens of gold were spent.

It’s enough to pay the dock’s annual salary.

Oh, should I fold a thousand paper cranes and send them over? The gift may be small but the thought is great.

Gao Jian was thinking about this when he saw the old turtle sticking its head out. "Please get on my back, Captain Gao. I will take you to the Dragon Palace. The dragon grandchildren have long wanted to meet you, a genius who has risen to fame."

"Okay, thank you, Turtle Prime Minister." Gao Jian nodded, rode his horse to the back of Lao Ao, and then suddenly thought of something and slapped his head: "Oh, I can't swim! Turtle Prime Minister, what should I do?"

One could clearly feel that Lao Ao took a deep breath, and the wind around him became much stronger. Then, a thumb-sized pearl flew out from the water under him.

"These are water-repellent beads. After wearing them, you will feel like you are on land and your clothes will not get wet in the water. As for the captain's horse, just leave it on the shore. Someone will take care of it. You don't have to worry." Lao Ao said.

It will be difficult to escape if the man and the horse are separated.

However, Gao Jian didn't seem to be worried about this at all. He just smiled and said, "Okay, then don't let him get thin from starvation."

After saying that, he dismounted and patted the horse's legs: "Go, there is something delicious for you. The Dragon Palace is rich and will not treat you badly!"

Zoulong walked away happily, and there was already a human-shaped maid waiting beside him. However, Gao Jian saw that the maid had scales on her body, so she must be a fish monster.

He himself followed Gui Cheng and gradually entered the water.

Gradually coming into the water, Gao Jian felt only the cool and clear light all around him. Although it was daytime, being in the water felt like being in a moonlit night. His mind and courage were clear. The sun was above his head, and under the refraction of the clear water it looked like a beautiful bright moon.

Standing on the back of the turtle, you can clearly see countless beautiful fish swimming around, as well as the azure water and various colorful rocks.

Many fish were swimming nearby, even darting around Gao Jian, like flocks of birds in the water, shuttling back and forth among the trees made of seaweed.

Flying from one branch to another, there are many crabs or other crustaceans with sharp scales, large carnivorous fish, and monofin fish, all swimming or walking comfortably in the water.

Gao Jian had admired the scenery of the Divine Dynasty before, both on the shore and in the air, but now in the water, he felt a different kind of beauty.

In addition to these mortal creatures, you can also see some mermaids, clam girls, fish spirits and the like, walking in groups in the water, just like ordinary people.

There are mermaids herding fish, just like humans raising chickens, driving the fish to swim in the water, feeding them and guiding the direction of the fish.

There are clam girls sowing pearls, throwing grains of sand into the pearl oysters, allowing them to form pearls.

Rows of pearl oysters, like crops, are neatly arranged at the bottom of the water, with the same beauty as the rice fields that have been cultivated by humans with great effort.

The golden spots of sunlight on the fish scales sparkled in the whirlpools of the waves. Some mollusks and jellyfish turned and turned like kites fluttering in the wind, drifting with the waves.

It is noon now. The sunlight is projected onto the water surface from above. Due to the refractive effect of the water surface, the light is decomposed like in a prism, and bunches of rainbows appear under the water.

As Gui Cheng continued to dive deeper, he gradually saw the Lingshi Reef below, the flower-like anemones on the seabed, the rocky underwater cliffs, plants, and shells. The intricate interweaving of all the light and dark colors formed a natural colorful kaleidoscope.

This is a scene that only creatures living in water can see.

However, as we continued to dive, slowly, the light began to disappear and the surroundings gradually became dark.

The beautiful shallow waters gradually disappeared.

Darkness and gloom began to replace the previous scene.

Dead spirit stone reefs, shipwrecks, and giant monster skeletons began to appear on the bottom of the deep sea.

But this is far from the deepest point.

Gui Cheng is still diving.

In the deep sea, all light disappeared. The only light was Gui Cheng’s eyes. Those red eyes, like flames, illuminated the way ahead in the darkness.

Gao Jian couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Going further down, you should reach Baishanjiang Dragon Palace.

The water pressure around him gradually increased, but with the water-repellent beads, Gao Jian did not feel the pressure for the time being.

After swimming for about a quarter of an hour...

The original darkness suddenly dissipated!

A magnificent palace appeared in the center of the darkness.

As if it was an illusion, the darkness around disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a translucent palace under the water.

Gao Jian didn't know how to describe it.

But he thinks the most appropriate adjective is 'Crystal Palace'!
A gloomy and spiritual place, with water spirits and strange monsters.

The ceremonial guards are lined up in a dense formation, and their cold eyes are intimidating.

The buildings are green and red, and the scales are shining.

The water mirror dances and the palace is majestic.

The magnificent palace is dazzling with its crystal light. It is supported by spiritual stones and contains a dazzling array of things, such as pearls, white jade flowers, and agates.

The five-colored crystal light was dazzling, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

It was only then that Gao Jian discovered that Gui Cheng had transformed into a human form at some point. He was an old man who looked very normal, except that he was a little hunchbacked.

Turtle Prime Minister extended his hand and said, "Captain Gao, please. Longsun has prepared a banquet and is waiting for you to come."

"Okay, then please come in." Gao Jian stretched out his hand and motioned the other party to come in front.

After all, Gao Jian didn't know the way.

When Gao Jian came to visit, Baishan Jianglongjun would definitely not come to receive him in person. The many dragon sons were of noble status and obviously would not lower themselves to greet Gao Jian.

But Gao Jian's status is not too low after all, and there is a visiting card personally presented by the young master of the Shui family. It would not be appropriate to let any water monster come to receive him.

So, Longsun is the most suitable one.

According to the official statement, Gao Jian was here for tourism and happened to come to this place, so he came to Longgong for a visit. He just wanted to visit when he had nothing to do, just like a celebrity who would visit the local wealthy families while traveling.

As for the Baishanjiang Water Clan, since it was obvious that someone of high status came to visit, they of course had to play the role of host and bring the two sides closer to each other, in order to show the magnanimity of the Baishanjiang Water Clan and their friendly relations with the human race.

But everyone actually knows it.

Gao Jian has a bad relationship with the Baishanjiang tribe.

But here, there is a very crucial point, that is, Gao Jian actually does not have any special conflicts with the dragons who are the actual controllers of Baishan River.

His conflict was with Baishan Jiang Guicheng. Whether the golden turtle died or not was probably not important at all to the dragons.

Therefore, for these dragons, they are likely to want to reconcile the two sides and let each side take a step back.

Therefore, Gao Jian felt that the other party must have had this consideration in mind when asking Longzi to meet him in person.

But...

Only Gao Jian himself knew that he had no favorable feelings at all towards the Baishanjiang water tribe.

Nowadays, all over Cangzhou, the Baishanjiang water tribe is enjoying incense, blood and food. Their alliance with the Zuo family is the source of Cangzhou's current situation.

The Baishanjiang Water Clan and the Zuo Family were doing this completely in the open. They manipulated the weather and controlled the rain and snow in order to manipulate ordinary civilians to voluntarily sacrifice themselves as blood food in exchange for the cooperation of the Baishanjiang Water Clan and other demon gods.

In this way, the Zuo family could gain the upper hand in the struggle among the aristocratic families and become more and more influential.

The dragons may feel that they have no grudge against Gao Jian and that any minor conflicts can be resolved, but Gao Jian does not think so.

He came this time just to see what the Baishanjiang water tribe looked like.

On the way in, Gui Cheng led the way. He spoke very little and did not introduce the rare treasures around. He just led the way.

When passing by, there were many shrimp soldiers, crab generals, turtle generals, snake generals, fish spirits, clam girls and the like, as well as many water monsters, each with its own form, mainly depending on the level of transformation.

If the transformation is not good, it looks like a monster. If the transformation is good, it looks like a human.

As for Gui Cheng, he transformed into a human, an almost invisible monster, and his form was completely that of an old human.

Gao Jian was very curious about this. What exactly is the shapeshifting technique? Why does the monster have to turn into a human? Even the Crystal Palace was built according to the specifications of the human race.

If Gui Cheng turned into his original form, he would definitely not be able to enter the Crystal Palace.

What exactly is the reason that makes the dragons transform into humans on their own initiative and build their palaces in the architectural style of the human race?
Thinking about this, Gao Jian finally came to a side hall in the palace complex.

Here, a handsome young man was sitting in the main seat: "Captain Gao, I have admired you for a long time."

"Gao Jian, meet the Dragon's grandson." Gao Jian also bowed and looked at the Dragon's grandson Bai Shanjiang in front of him.

Baishan Jianglongsun looks almost the same as those young masters of the human race.

He was wearing a golden robe with auspicious patterns on it, exquisite embroidery and elegant tailoring. He had a handsome face, dark golden eyes with a hint of divine light, and he sat upright, looking calm and elegant.

Gao Jian could see that the other party should have reached the third realm.

"Greetings, Dragon Grandson." Gao Jian stepped forward and bowed.

"No need to be so polite, please take a seat. The Dragon Palace has been a little chaotic recently, and the welcoming ceremony has been neglected. I hope Captain Gao will forgive me." Long Sun raised his glass and drank a penalty drink.

"With such a beautiful scenery, how can it be deserted? I am flattered to receive such hospitality from the Dragon Palace." Gao Jian responded immediately.

"Hahaha, then please invite Captain Gao to drink with me. After the banquet, I will send two mermaids to lead the way with Captain Gao to travel around the mountains and rivers. What can we do without someone to accompany us?" Long Sun suggested.

Gao Jian sat down and shook his head: "That's not necessary. I like to go out alone. I appreciate Longsun's kindness. This sudden visit is already rude. How can I trouble the Dragon Palace again?"

"Let's not talk about those things, let's drink first, drink!" Long Sun smiled and didn't say much. He drank another glass and then clapped his hands.

However, there were many beautiful dancers and singers with traces of unsuccessful transformation on their bodies, and their original forms could be seen.

There are jellyfish, mermaids, clam girls, and all kinds of beauties, all with slim figures and outstanding singing voices.

But I saw them playing music. When the music started, many instruments sounded at the same time, and the girls sang in unison.

In water, the sound changes naturally, producing a variety of different vibrations, which in turn gives rise to another music system based on water.

Similarly, because the dance takes place in water, it presents a three-dimensional appearance. Coupled with their fish tails and other things, it is also quite eye-catching, as if a dolphin is leaping into the sky from the abyss.

The beauty floats lightly over the water, and her green shadow soars high into the sky

The silver toad appears in the sea, fish leap in the waves, and its charming figure is enchanting and beautiful.

Sing while singing, dance while dancing.

The clam girl and the fish spirit sang and danced.

A feast of tortoise shells, a beautiful wine

There is wine like a river and meat like a mountain.

The prosperity of the Dragon Palace is fully displayed there.

Gao Jian and Longsun were drinking and having fun. Longsun even used magic to perform a miracle of making flowers appear in the water, which amazed Gao Jian. Gao Jian then told Longsun the origin and history of his magic, which made Longsun admire Gao Jian's broad knowledge.

Longsun then introduced these dancers, saying how they were picked from thousands and could even dance on the tip of a knife, and asked Gao Jian if he should pick two to take back.

Gao Jian declined politely, saying that he couldn't afford it.

After the banquet, both the guests and the hosts were happy. Everyone was laughing, drinking and eating, and having a great time.

After the banquet, Gao Jian said goodbye with a smile.

Longsun stood up and saw him out.

The two finally said goodbye at the gate of the Crystal Palace and left.

Just after Gao Jian left, Long Sun returned to his palace. The smile on his face completely disappeared, and the banquet scene had already been cleaned up.

Turtle Prime Minister stood beside him and said, "Prince, what do you think of this man?"

"If it were just my impression today, I would only think that this person is very kind, easy to get along with, knowledgeable, and has solid cultivation. I think he must have a deep background and can be a friend rather than an enemy." Long Sun said.

"What about the previous impression?" Gui Cheng asked calmly without showing any expression.

“Terrible.” Long Sun blinked, put his hand to his forehead, and leaned back. “He killed the assassins from Yan Ge, killed your Jin Ao, and slaughtered hundreds of gods. He also killed thousands of people in the outer city of Cangzhou. He tied up the leaders of those forces and let the boatmen and laborers beat them to death. They were not allowed to resist.”

"Everyone knows that this man is not a good person, but he didn't show any viciousness in front of me, not even the slightest intention to kill. Moreover, when he looked at those mermaids and clam girls, his eyes were clear, and he really didn't have the slightest intention of taking them away. This man is so cunning that I'm afraid he can catch up with you, Prime Minister Turtle." Long Sun said.

Prime Minister Turtle immediately bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, you are joking. My Da'ao clan has served the Dragon King for generations. The Baishan River has flowed for so many years and has never had any second thoughts. How could there be any cunning mansion to speak of?"

"I'm not pointing at you, I'm just describing it. I know what happened to Jin Ao. I would definitely not be able to endure it if it happened to me." Long Sun said.

Jin Ao is a rare atavistic bloodline, so Gui Cheng specially asked the Qingshui River, which is very close to the capital of Cangzhou, to become the River God for him, and told him to be careful, not to provoke mortals, and not to go back to the Baishan River Dragon Palace.

This was all to help him avoid disaster.

All of this is to allow the Golden Aoraki to grow. Once the Golden Aoraki breaks through the spiritual barrier and achieves the status of a great demon in the physical body, the future of the Baishanjiang Ao clan will not only be to serve the Dragon King.

But it's useless to say that now.

With the help of Lao Ao, Jin Ao avoided the internal strife of the Dragon Palace and was not killed by the noble families of Cangzhou. However, he was beheaded by Gao Jian who passed by.

Maybe it's destiny.

Longsun seemed to be talking to himself, "Back to your opinion, there is a saying: A pearl from a thorn bush, a jade that shines in the dark, when recommended to a duke or a king, must be hidden in a jade box, sealed in a box, and not shown to others. The more you like to show off, the more trouble you will have. Sometimes a small thing changes its nature once it goes out. People in the world spread rumors, and they all make a big deal out of small things, and take wrong as right. The more it spreads, the more unreasonable it becomes, and the more false the name is, the more contrary it is. For example, a dog that looks like a human turns white into black. There are countless examples of dogs that look like humans turning white into black."

"It's normal for the opinions spread by outsiders to conflict with the opinions we have seen with our own eyes. I'm not sure what kind of person this person is. Let's wait and see. He is very brave to come to visit Bai Shanjiang this time. If it were an ordinary person, he would never dare to come. But he actually came, which means he must have some purpose."

"Observe his purpose. If it is harmful to Baishanjiang, let him die on the way back. If it is harmless to Baishanjiang, Jinao is already dead, so why bother to sacrifice yourself?" Longsun said.

"Thank you, Prince." Da'ao nodded, but did not make any other movements.

"No need to thank me. Don't ask about this matter. Once his purpose is exposed, if there are any problems, then please ask Prime Minister Gui to take action." Long Sun said.

Gui Cheng nodded again, then turned and left.

He had almost anticipated this outcome.

But he had no choice but to accept it.

If he didn't have the support of the Baishanjiang Water Clan, he didn't think he could withstand the revenge from Gao Jian behind the scenes.

The knowledge, behavior, and confidence displayed by Gao Jian all hint that his origins are by no means simple. If one wants to withstand the revenge and investigation after Gao Jian's death, one can only rely on the Baishanjiang water tribe.

The old man is short of breath, but the turtle is good at endurance.

The old turtle was naturally short of breath and good at endurance.

Even if it was something like this, he could bear it.

It all depends on what Gao Jian wants to do.

As long as Gao Jian has the slightest flaw, the turtle's bite will be very painful.

At the same time, on Gao Jian's side.

Gao Jian has already left the Dragon Palace. After all, he has no reason to stay in the Dragon Palace any longer.

At this point in time, he also knew that he would definitely be monitored by the Baishanjiang water tribe, and most likely by the old turtle himself, but with his own cultivation level, it would be difficult to detect.

After all, the other party is in the fifth realm.

But it is enough.

Just by walking around and attending a banquet, Gao Jian had already realized the profound background and brutality of the Baishanjiang water tribe.

“Those dancers all started at the first realm, and it seems that the practice they are doing is not the conventional practice method… The entire demon practice is just for dancing, this is really…” Gao Jian thought to himself and shook his head.

Based on his knowledge, he has deduced the situation, and this matter is also recorded in the Xuanhua Tongmen Dao Song.

What is the purpose of practice?
Of course it is not possible just for combat, as practice can actually improve almost everything, which is essentially another technology tree.

Different methods of practice, different techniques, and different martial arts can achieve different results, including but not limited to chefs like those in the Eight Treasures Restaurant, as well as dancers and singers.

There are also some paintings with more normal styles, such as refiners and alchemists.

In fact, there are many categories of alchemists and refiners. Those who refine armor may not be able to make swords, those who learn casting may not be able to forge iron, and those who specialize in healing medicine may not be very skilled in refining pills to increase cultivation. Everyone has their own specialties.

This is because the practice method itself has tendencies. No matter what kind of practice you use, the order and position of the acupoints you open will affect your foundation and cause you to have different degrees of compatibility with different techniques.

Just like Bai Ping's practice of cultivating a breath of pure air, it would be difficult for him to achieve results with poison or evil spirit skills, which was contrary to his practice method.

Cultivation methods are usually used in conjunction with magical techniques. Different cultivation methods are matched with different magical techniques. This is the meaning of "master's school".

Therefore, for experts and knowledgeable people, they can guess your background and what types of things you are good at just by looking at your moves.

Your future is also closely related to these.

Therefore, Gao Jian also saw what these mermaids and clam girls were good at, and also saw their "future".

They have already reached one state, but the entire direction of their practice is to make them look prettier and have more flexible bodies. They have transformed themselves into 'tools'.

They exist purely as tools, and... for every dancer like this, there are a thousand discarded "garbage" hiding behind them.

After all, only a few people can achieve a certain level and become dancers in the Dragon Palace. What will be the fate of those little demons who have practiced these skills but failed to break through?

Of course, there is no need to even think about it. It is completely ruined. The foundation has been laid, and it is impossible to repair it. There is no possibility of practicing anymore, and the entire human potential is strangled.

How many singers and dancers were there just now? Gao Jian simply counted them and found that there must be dozens of them.

Behind that is the fact that tens of thousands of little demons have forever lost the possibility of practicing for the sake of such a singing and dancing troupe, and in this kind of world, this undoubtedly means a miserable and hopeless life.

It's like he didn't study since childhood, practiced dancing wholeheartedly, took the art exam, studied in an art school, became a trainee after graduation, and finally failed to debut.

What else can be done? I don’t know. I haven’t experienced it.

Another fact can be easily deduced from this incident, that is, even being a dancer in the Dragon Palace is extremely tempting to these little demons. The best of the best must be selected, and a large number of little demons are scrambling to sign up.

“In that case…there’s actually no difference between the Dragon Palace and the aristocratic families. No, there shouldn’t be any difference.” Gao Jian shook his head.

But he soon put these things behind him, because after he left the Dragon Palace, he was standing on the bottom of the sea.

Uh...how do I get up there?

After thinking for a while, Gao Jian came up with an idea. He found some seaweed next to the Dragon Palace.

Although I don’t know why there is seaweed at this depth, perhaps the Dragon Palace uses it as decoration.

Then, use a knife to break open the inside without damaging the outer skin, leaving only an opening to inflate with your mouth.

The water-repellent beads have the function of allowing underwater breathing. In that case, just exhale some bubbles and you'll be fine.

Holding the seaweed leaves in one hand, he blew air downwards. Soon enough buoyancy was generated, and he slowly floated upwards with Gao Jian.

This is normal for Gao Jian. If he wants to float to the surface, then using something to blow bubbles is definitely the fastest way. This is the principle of submarines.

However, this move caused laughter to be heard from all around, as if one couldn't hold back the laughter.

Gao Jian immediately turned his head and looked around.

Then, he discovered that a pretty little loach had appeared next to him, out of nowhere.

"Loach turned into a spirit?" Gao Jian stretched out his hand with some curiosity.

It's a bit strange that there are loaches at this depth. Aren't loaches native to shallow waters? We are in the abyss here, right? It's estimated to be about five miles from the surface.

But the loach seemed very angry, and bit Gao Jian's finger with a "whoosh".

Gao Jian felt the pain and pulled his hand back.

The loach immediately took the opportunity to dive into the surrounding darkness and disappeared.

Gao Jian shook his head without any hesitation.

Although it was a bit painful, actually the skin was not broken. It was just a little goblin. It was probably just awakened to spiritual intelligence and had not yet practiced, similar to an old cow.

Gao Jian is in the second realm after all, and his body is now very tough. Ordinary people cannot cut his skin even with a kitchen knife.

Ignoring the little loach, Gao Jian slowly floated up with the seaweed in his hand.

Soon, they left the bright range of the Dragon Palace and entered into the "darkness".

At this moment, Gao Jian suddenly discovered that this darkness... seemed a little wrong.

His senses seemed to be completely obscured.

This is not just the darkness caused by the deep water, but it also comes with some kind of strange "suppression", suppressing all senses, not just the absence of light.

Gao Jian didn't feel anything when he was brought down by the old turtle just now. But when he floated up and fell into the darkness on his own, he realized that there seemed to be something hidden in it.

He has a sense of... charm.

In this darkness, there is hidden the charm left behind by the strong!
Gao Jian tried to sense what this charm was all about.

Every practitioner can comprehend the spirit through the five senses. Gao Jian has opened the Niwan, and this perception will be sharper than without opening the three acupoints of the spirit.

When he began to sense...

In just a moment, Gao Jian's eyes suddenly widened and his chest felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer!
Two words popped into his mind!

God of Plague!
