The monsters that were chasing them ignored them completely and crashed into each other, which was exactly what Ziyue had expected. In order to avoid attracting attention, they had all suppressed their own energy when they entered the new space. Compared to the huge monsters that came in a big way and crashed into the other side's territory, it was normal for them to be ignored.
The monsters here are terrifying!
The countless hair-thin spikes erupted like a torrential rain of pear blossoms, each containing an exaggerated amount of toxins. The moment they pierced the octopus's flesh, they could cause a portion of the octopus's body to rot into a pool of black liquid, making Murong's heart pound.
The number of spikes was astounding, and their speed was incredibly fast. If I had targeted them earlier, I really wouldn't have been confident of escaping unscathed in this water.
After all, no matter how exaggerated one's movements are, it's impossible to remain completely dry in a downpour.
The monsters here are all incredibly terrifying and troublesome; if we're not careful, the three of us could very well end up here.
But just when the three thought the battle between the two monsters would be at a stalemate for a while, giving them a chance to find Chen Qing quickly, a strange change occurred. The terrifying octopus behind them let out a shrill roar after its flesh was melted into many pieces. Then, an extremely terrifying siphon force came and actually overturned the entire seabed beach, forming an extremely chaotic underwater storm.
Murong Yunji reacted quickly, her body flashing with light. Using her ultimate Wind King Body, she compressed the wind energy and swiftly escaped with Baiyu. Ziyue also used her space-jumping technique to quickly escape the siphon zone.
But the monster hiding in the beach didn't have that chance. The entire earth's crust was torn open, and an enormous, transparent jellyfish was forcibly sucked out, howling as it was swept away.
The rain of countless needles grew even more violent, but in the face of the massive, chaotic current, it lost its precision and failed to inflict as much damage on the enormous octopus as before. And so, the three of them finally saw the octopus's face.
It had thousands of giant eyes, and its size was indeed as Ziyue had guessed, almost the size of a prefecture. Its huge mouth opened, like an abyss that could swallow the heavens and the earth. It had hundreds of billions of teeth, and just one look at it would give you goosebumps.
No wonder there wasn't a single other living creature in that body of water. What could possibly survive there?
"Go!" Baiyu was startled and immediately ordered Murong.
Murong didn't dare to say anything more and prepared to continue his escape with Baiyu. But when he turned around, he saw Ziyue still standing there, and he frowned immediately. "What are you doing?"
"This monster..." Ziyue rarely showed a blank expression. With her Starry Sky Pupil, she could clearly see that after the monster devoured the giant jellyfish, its entire body visibly enlarged. This was something that could completely digest the energy of other living beings and could even graft it onto itself!
In just a few breaths, her body's energy had increased by a third, and it was rapidly converting the energy into her physical body. Ziyue had never seen such a terrifying rate of evolution before.
Now she finally understood why Chen Qing had hesitated to open the spatial gate at first. Even a ruthless and cunning leader would think twice before releasing such a monster, because you have no idea what kind of being it would become if it kept devouring things.
Will it grow indefinitely?
Ziyue instinctively felt it was impossible; such an illogical existence shouldn't exist. Yet, she couldn't quite grasp the question: what if... it really was possible?
If that were truly possible, wouldn't those ten thousand dragons outside be the best nourishment for this monster?
" Ziyue?"
Murong Chuanyin roared, "What are you staring at?"
"Huh?" Ziyue came back to her senses, a look of realization on her face.
In the end, they fled quickly Murong, but a growing unease kept rising in their hearts!
"Holy crap, we never won?"
Seeing this scene from a distance, Chen Qing frowned deeply!
He was forced into a corner and had no choice but to open the passage; otherwise, he would have exhausted himself inside and eventually died. The reason he hesitated for so long on the seabed was to choose a relatively strong opponent from the several connected spaces.
Actually, we were quite lucky; there were monsters like the Earth Fiend Jellyfish in the connected spaces.
This monster model was designed by Chen Qing himself. It belongs to one of the five most difficult demons to deal with in the Dragon Palace. Moreover, in Chen Qing's opinion, its attributes are very effective against the Heavenly Ghost Octopus. This is because the Earth Fiend Jellyfish's poison is quite domineering. It can dissolve the flesh of First Rank martial artist. A few milligrams can completely melt a Dragon Palace Cloud Whale. It is a master at hunting large prey.
Furthermore, the speed of the Earth Fiend Jellyfish's tentacles is far more refined than that of the Heavenly Ghost Octopus. In a direct confrontation, Chen Qing secretly calculated that his chances of winning were at least 70%.
But scheming is one thing, reality is another. This is not a game; without real data comparisons, the outcome is unpredictable.
Chen Qing hadn't expected that the Heavenly Ghost Octopus's siphoning power would be so effective against the Earth Fiend Jellyfish!
This is a big problem.
Although the Earth Fiend Jellyfish is smaller than the Heavenly Ghost Octopus, the energy contained within its body is of the same level. If it were eaten...
The next second, Chen Qing immediately felt a surge of energy brewing in the distance. The Heavenly Ghost Octopus was visibly expanding. Chen Qing immediately activated his Spirit Eye to check. Just as he had planned, this guy's talent for converting energy was exceptionally strong, almost like a direct graft. The energy he had just absorbed was immediately converted into physical replenishment as soon as it was digested. Not only did its strength increase, but its size also increased dramatically.
Chen Qing dared not delay any longer and immediately activated the link to the next space.
If this thing completely digests the Earth Fiend Jellyfish from before, it will be even more troublesome if it gets caught. Quickly opening the next one might give us a chance to temporarily seal it in this space.
If it really doesn't work
Chen Qing looked at a mark on his hand, a spell left by the eldest princess that allowed him to communicate with her. However, it was a one-time use spell that would disappear after one use, since long-distance communication was extremely energy-intensive in this world.
Looking at the mark, Chen Qing hesitated. This thing was left by that woman in a flirtatious way. They had agreed to meet up, but now it seemed he would have to use it ahead of time.
After all, if the Heavenly Ghost Octopus goes out of control, the South Sea is probably the only place that can stop this monstrous thing!
"Um?"
In the South Sea, in an extremely vast area, Xiao Mingxue and her companions were exploring aimlessly.
This place is larger than she imagined. Just as Chen Qing said, the true space of this Dragon Palace Mystic Realm will far exceed her expectations.
This piqued the princess's curiosity: if the secret realm opened, would this vast space within it eventually close off, or would it directly overlap with the outside world?
"What's wrong?"
Shen Laowu frowned behind him.
"The little one can't wait," the princess said, glancing at the mark on her arm, a rare, charming smile appearing on her bright face.
Seeing this, the Prince Consort Fei behind him frowned deeply. He had been married to the Princess for many years, and this was the first time he had ever seen such a charming smile on her face. For a moment, his heart felt as if he had drunk poison.
"Is something wrong that I'm contacting you at this time?" Shen Laowu, standing to the side, was much calmer.
"Yes, he gave me the direction to Dragon Transformation!"
"What?"
Both of them looked surprised, because logically speaking, it was impossible.
Chen Qing brought them here, most likely not out of kindness, but to bring everyone to a battlefield he was most familiar with, so that he could resolve the situation more effectively.
This was a consensus they had reached beforehand. The reason they still participated was not only because they were confident in their own abilities, but also because they couldn't resist the allure of the Dragon Palace's legacy.
Therefore, based on previous speculation, if Chen Qing wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of these people, he should at least give them as much information as possible, especially information about the so-called Dragon Transformation!
Although they hadn't been here long, they had already gained a general understanding of the area.
The palace here is ridiculously large and contains many treasures, but in reality, they mainly fall into three categories. The first is treasure. Here, treasure does not refer to gold and silver jewelry in the eyes of ordinary people, but rather secret treasures that are very useful to sorcerers and even warriors. These are artifacts that can obviously improve space and even the physical body.
Such items are not uncommon in the Dragon Palace, but they dare not touch them. The reason is simple: around most of the treasures, there is a sleeping monster. These monsters are all human-headed and demon-like, giving people a sense of extreme danger. Although their bodies are withered, they know in their hearts that once those treasures are touched, these monsters will definitely launch an attack.
The second category is the most valuable, belonging to the realm of inheritance. It contains various secret techniques of the Dragon Palace, concerning magic arrays, runes, and the refining of certain creatures. These are scattered throughout the Dragon Palace, containing all sorts of hidden treasures. They are not actually difficult to find, but the drawback is that most of these secret techniques are engraved on a peculiar jade that will not decay for ten thousand years. These jades are first embedded in the metal of the palace. To take them away without damaging them would require skilled craftsmen, or even better, to simply copy them. But where is there time for that now?
The third category consists of those species that were originally destined to Dragon Transformation!
These kinds of things are indeed the hardest to find. The princess and the others only managed to find two by relying on Shen Laowu's understanding of the hidden mechanisms. They were sealed in an extremely secret location in the Dragon Palace and frozen. They had the year, species, and dragon blood assessment of those Dragon Transformation creatures on them. Obviously, the Dragon Transformation ceremony would be carried out at the appropriate time to increase the bloodline of the dragon race.
Of the three types of inheritance, the third type is the one they most need to seize first. The reason is simple: seizing the first type now is extremely risky, and although the second type of inheritance looks very good, one is that copying it requires a lot of time, and the other is that even if they take it back, it will take time to convert those inheritances into combat power. At the current pace, even if they bring back enough inheritances, they may not have the time to digest them.
Therefore, the most useful one is actually the third type: find the species most suitable for Dragon Transformation and Fusion using secret techniques. In this way, even if the Dragon Palace is revived, they will still be considered the same kind and will not be targeted first. Once they successfully transform into dragons and have enough power, they will have the opportunity to occupy the Dragon Palace.
Once we occupy the Dragon Palace, can't we gradually acquire its hidden treasures and so-called Dragon Palace Inheritance?
Therefore, Dragon Transformation items should be the most important thing, and something Chen Qing would least be willing to give away. But unexpectedly, that kid would be so generous at this time?
Was it a trap? Or did something else happen?
