Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

Because Luo Qianqiu allowed the Crocodile Ancestor's Divine Embryo to erode his sea of ​​consciousness, the voice in his mind grew louder and louder, carrying a seductive and captivating quality.

In other words, he had a strong will. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have already actively merged with the divine embryo and become an external incarnation of the Crocodile Ancestor.

"The objective has been achieved, it's time to fight back. We can't let the divine embryo continue to erode us." Luo Qianqiu thought sadly.

Immediately, a powerful will focused, protecting himself and blocking the divine embryo that was invading his mind.

That frenzied "thought" was suppressed and could no longer have a negative impact on Luo Qianqiu. Under the expulsion of a powerful will, it gradually receded.

However, this process is very slow and cannot be accomplished overnight. The crocodile ancestor's fetus is also resisting and is not sitting idly by waiting for its doom.

Luo Qianqiu was not surprised by this. It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. He had already thought of this consequence when he allowed the divine embryo to erode his mind.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the erosion of the divine embryo doesn't continue to worsen, he won't become the Crocodile Ancestor's puppet.

Once he begins his cultivation, his power will gradually increase, eventually allowing him to steadily suppress the Crocodile Ancestor Divine Embryo.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, the bronze coffin began to shake violently, and everyone felt dizzy, but they did not panic.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. When the Nine Dragons Coffin descended to Mars, it shook violently just like this time, suggesting that it has arrived in a new, unknown land.

"Boom!"

With a final, deafening roar, the lid of the bronze coffin shifted, opening like a massive bronze gate slamming open to both sides.

The light shone in so brightly that those accustomed to the darkness of the bronze coffin couldn't help but reach out and shield their eyes.

After a while, when everyone's eyes had adjusted to the brightness, they put their hands down and excitedly walked out of the bronze coffin.

"Light! It's like the sun's rays!"

At this moment, many people inside the bronze coffin became excited, like a taut string finally being released for a moment.

When people stepped out of the bronze coffin, they were greeted by a vibrant world, not like Mars, where there was only reddish-brown earth and rocks.

The air here is exceptionally fresh, making it irresistible to greedily inhale the fragrance of flowers and plants, and even the fresh scent of the earth—all things that evoke fond memories.

Even though only a day and a night had passed, people felt as if they had lived through another world.

Luo Qianqiu did not cheer. After stepping out of the bronze coffin, he immediately began to observe the surroundings.

Knowing the original story, he knew that in terms of danger, this place was no less dangerous than Mars, and perhaps even more so.

Like Luo Qianqiu, Ye Fan also felt that this place might not be safe.

The two exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts. As they followed the group, they cautiously scanned their surroundings.

After leaving the bronze coffin, the group hurried uphill for nearly a hundred meters to reach the summit of the mountain, where they looked out into the distance.

The distant mountains, like dark eyebrows, are naturally beautiful, lush and verdant, full of vitality.

However, just one glance was enough to leave everyone stunned, because the ancient trees that came into view were all like canopies, each one over a hundred feet tall, and it would take dozens of people holding hands to encircle them. They covered the ground like wild grass, and there was no end in sight.

Even at the far end of the line of sight, people could see several large trees, nearly a thousand feet tall, with numerous branches, which looked like a divine tree palace.

"This is magnificent! What kind of world is this?"

"What a beautiful and sacred land! We have finally escaped the darkness and danger and no longer have to live in fear."

Many people were cheering, as if celebrating the joy of surviving a disaster.

"Don't be too happy yet. The more beautiful something is, the more likely it is to harbor terrible dangers." A calm voice, like a bucket of cold water, extinguished everyone's excitement.

"Brother Luo, what do you mean?" Pang Bo asked, his smile fading, with a hint of curiosity.

If someone else had said this, he might not have paid much attention, but Pang Bo had a deep understanding of Luo Qianqiu's observational skills. Since the other party said this, it must not have been without reason.

The others shared similar thoughts, their smiles quickly fading as they looked around with some concern, as if afraid that something like the little crocodile might rush out.

"Because the vegetation is too lush," Ye Fan said thoughtfully.

"Indeed, everything has its own growth pattern. It's impossible for one thing to stand out. There are countless trees that are hundreds of feet tall, but what about other creatures? What do they look like?"

Luo Qianqiu's voice was calm, but his words sent chills down everyone's spines.

Yes, this world is clearly extraordinary. If trees can grow so robust, there's no reason why other creatures wouldn't evolve.

"Boom!"

Just as everyone was deep in thought, a loud noise suddenly came from behind them. The Nine Dragons Coffin was slowly sliding down the cliff, and the bronze coffin was also being pulled forward.

The rumbling sound was incessant, like thunder exploding in the sky, or like thousands of ancient chariots driving across the earth, causing the ground to shake.

Upon seeing this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, they had already left the bronze coffin, otherwise they would probably have fallen off the cliff by now.

"We were fine when we came here, but we can't go back." At that moment, Pang Bo said with emotion.

They were brought to this strange world by the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, and now that the ancient coffin has fallen off the cliff, their hope of returning has vanished.

"Don't think too much, just focus on the present." Luo Qianqiu, holding the vajra, left the crowd and walked towards a certain place.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed, having already lost their own judgment.

After walking several hundred meters, Luo Qianqiu stopped in front of a cliff covered with old vines. Before anyone could react, he raised the vajra in his hand and cut off some of the dried vines, revealing a broken stone tablet.

"These are words, what do they say?" someone exclaimed.

Ye Fan stepped forward, ready to identify it, when Luo Qianqiu's voice rang in his ears again: "The Ancient Forbidden Pass only has three characters. The stone tablet is broken, so there should be more to it than meets the eye."

"Forbidden? Restricted area, or forbidden zone?"

Upon hearing this, everyone began to speculate. One person directly substituted the first three words, saying, "Ancient Forbidden Zone? Ancient Forbidden Land?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed. Whether it was a restricted area or a forbidden zone, it proved that this place might not be safe.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, a piercing cry, sharp enough to pierce through metal and stone, rang out, causing a sharp pain in the eardrums.

In the distance, a golden roc soars through the sky. Even from a great distance, its splendor can still be felt. It is as if it were cast from gold, its entire body shimmering with golden light.

Then, as if it had spotted a target, the golden roc swooped down towards the mountains below, its two sharp claws gripping a prehistoric giant elephant as it took flight.

Everyone was stunned, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

Luo Qianqiu's words were proven true; not only the vegetation here was extraordinary, but the other creatures were as well.

"The most urgent thing now is to find out what's going on here. You two stay put and wait. Brother Ye, Brother Pang, we'll walk around and see if we can find any clues."

Luo Qianqiu took the initiative, preparing to bring Ye Fan along to search for the Sacred Fruit. As for Pang Bo, he was just an afterthought; even if he didn't invite him, Ye Fan would have.

Rather than doing that, he might as well just call him directly, saving the intermediate steps.

This preemptive move was extremely well executed. He went from needing to benefit from Ye Fan's success to becoming the one who invited him, and thus naturally joined the group that was sharing the Sacred Fruit.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo readily agreed and walked to Luo Qianqiu's side. The three of them broke away from the group and walked away into the distance.
