At this moment, Chen Qing dared not even breathe a sigh of relief, let alone use his credibility.
At this moment, the hidden palace in the West Sea was already fraught with danger, with countless terrifying auras swirling around it. Clearly, those human-headed dragonflies that had been lurking for ten thousand years had found this place full of high-quality Dragon Transformation fossils.
Chen Qing dared not underestimate these monsters. Those who had survived to this day were all ancient sorcerers. Not only were their minds twisted, but their strength was also definitely not bad. After all, although the Dragon Palace was a power that rose in the late ancient period, those who were able to attach themselves to the Dragon Palace at that time and be allowed to live to this day by relying on the power of the Dragon Palace were naturally extremely outstanding beings back then.
In today's terms, they would probably be at the level of heads of major ancient families.
Ancient sorcerers possessed more forbidden techniques and a wider range of methods. Moreover, having received secret teachings from the Dragon Palace, they might also have access to some mysterious techniques from ancient forces. In this case, any one of them could potentially become a powerful force, or even a top-tier expert.
Chen Qing had no intention of provoking them at this time.
As for the situation in the North Sea, Chen Qing received the news and his expression was quite interesting.
Because the news is getting more and more explosive.
The Duke of Wei successfully transformed into a dragon, freezing the North Sea and directly forcing Xu Hu and his men to send troops to rescue people, something he never expected.
The ability to freeze the North Sea must belong to the Dragon King Breed. To be honest, among the various forces, the one he is least at ease with is actually the Duke of Wei!
Although the eldest princess and the one from the West Sea are dangerous, they both have their own ambitions. After obtaining power, they will most likely lie low and recuperate, only taking action after their power has grown stronger. Relatively speaking, they still have a buffer period. But the Duke of Wei is different. Don't be fooled by the fact that he seems to be the least ambitious one. The one behind him is not.
Although the Duke of Wei rebelled, everyone knew that he was most loyal to the emperor from the Xiao Household!
A real dragon—if the Xiao Household emperor were to make use of it, just thinking about it would send chills down Chen Qing's spine.
Although it was a bit harsh, Chen Qing actually breathed a sigh of relief after hearing about the blood sacrifice of the Duke of Wei.
Admiration is admirable, but to sacrifice his hard-won dragon body for the people of the Northern Lands, frankly, Chen Qing believes that 99% of people in the world would not do such a thing. This old man deserves the title of hero.
As for the matter of coercing Xu Hu to save people, he didn't care.
Originally, if he could get out earlier, he would have taken Xu Hu with him to rescue people. The essence of Divine Path Style is people; the more living people he preserves, the more solid the foundation he can lay for the future.
Why is the Divine Path Style so powerful, yet since the update, virtually no players on any server have been able to complete it to the end?
The reasons are varied. Besides the difficulty in getting started with this gameplay, mid-game operation is also challenging. The game's version iterations in this world revolve around the human race facing peril, the Earth Spirit Revival, and the rapid increase in demonic power, which the human race cannot sustain.
This led to the near extinction of the human race, which had finally multiplied to hundreds of billions of people, in the later stages of the game. After many version iterations, it became common for vast areas to be deserted.
Humanity will suffer massive losses and deaths, especially in the early stages of the Earth Spirit Revival. The world will become a hellish place, with less than one in a hundred people surviving!
This will not have a significant impact on individual players. Whether they are warriors or sorcerers, they can quickly grow and surpass those scions of noble families during this period of Earth Spirit Revival by utilizing the various new inheritances, thus becoming top-tier combatants.
However, Divine Path Style players are different. Unlike ordinary players who only need to focus on themselves, Divine Path Style players suffer losses when their overall power is damaged. Such a large group is extremely vulnerable to such turmoil. Many Divine Path Style players lose a large number of people in the early stages, and their strength decreases rather than increases. Even if they have various inheritances to improve their overall strength, how can they compare to ordinary players who pursue individual strength?
Moreover, the large number of people in various places were devoured by demons, making it extremely difficult for Divine Path Style players to implement their plans to increase the population. In fact, in the later stages, they even had to spend a lot of resources to buy population from ordinary players, and they were completely controlled by them!
When the game reached its latest version, none of the game's content creators on major platforms could truly master the Divine Path Style, causing many Divine Path Style players to abandon it and switch to new servers to play solo builds. At that time, Chen Qing had also gathered a team to try to improve it, but before the new version could be discussed, he was transported to another world.
Therefore, Chen Qing was very clear that population was the guarantee of the Divine Path Style. In order to stand firm in the future era of the rise of demons, ensuring the safety of the people of Jiangnan in the early stages of chaos was of paramount importance, but bringing in as many people as possible from the outside was also of paramount importance.
With the Northern Lands suffering such a calamity, the southward migration of a billion people is a rare and precious opportunity that cannot be missed!
But since he wasn't leading them himself, he was still somewhat uneasy. Now he could only hope that Xu Hu and the old Master Shen San would be more reliable.
" Chen Qing, how much longer will that guy Yuchi?"
The lowest level of the ground was freezing cold, yet Murong Yunji was covered in cold sweat. The pressure from the monsters on the upper level was simply too terrifying. It seemed that, in order to intimidate their kind, the monsters that had acquired good Dragon Transformation artifacts would use their trump cards, some kind of terrifying defensive spell, or some other means, in any case, their intimidation was at its maximum.
There are quite a few Dragon Transformation creatures in this palace. Many of the dragonflies, upon seeing the intimidating presence, are unwilling to fight to the death and instead seek out suitable Dragon Transformation for themselves. This has resulted in a strange balance being maintained on the first floor of the palace for a short period of time.
However, this balance obviously won't last long. As the number of monsters increases and there aren't enough Dragon Transformation items to go around, a major fight is bound to break out.
Not to mention the behind-the-scenes figures, such as Shen Laoda and the Third Prince of the West Sea, who may have already arrived in secret.
Murong was communicating with his mouth, not daring to make a sound. He clearly knew that if the two of them were discovered, as normal humans, they would become outcasts among the monsters and would definitely be the first targets to be attacked!
Chen Qing glanced back at Yuchi, who was inside a huge blood pack, and frowned.
The Dragon Palace's equipment is excellent. This ancient power is not only top-notch in terms of formations, but also in terms of artifacts. The massive energy conversion process of Dragon Transformation did not result in any energy fluctuations, which shows how stable the equipment is!
Among the Four Seas Dragon Palace, the East Sea Dragon Palace excels in magic arrays, the West South Sea West Sea Dragon Palace is good at investigating objects, the South Sea Dragon Palace is good at runes, and the North Sea Dragon Palace is skilled in various secret arts. Now it seems that the artifacts of the West Sea Dragon Palace are more powerful than expected. Among the major ancient forces, the Dragon Palace is definitely top-notch in these aspects. As long as he can digest them, Chen Qing is confident that he can cope with the opening of any ancient realm next.
The key is to quickly take away the Four Dragon Palace Inheritance, which must be done before the nobles awaken and before the ghost octopus arrives. Chen Qing sensed that the monster had been tracking him and was probably already heading towards the West Sea!
"It won't be long." Chen Qing forced a smile at Murong. He was even more anxious than Murong, but he had to remain calm.
Squeak
Just as Murong was about to ask something, a slight creaking sound made the hairs on both of them stand on end!
That was the sound of the underground palace door being opened.
Something's coming down!!
Chen Qing's face instantly turned extremely ugly. Logically speaking, the quality of the Dragon Transformation items on the second floor was lower, and logically, the quality on the third floor should be even lower. Why not choose from the first floor instead of the third?
Is the first tier already full?
That shouldn't be the case. If the quota were full, the second layer should have seen a massive influx of human-headed crickets. But judging from the senses, only a small number of human-headed crickets briefly appeared on the second layer. After confirming that the quality was worse down there, they quickly went to the upper layer to select their own. Otherwise, if they were a step too late, other crickets would have taken them all, and they would have suffered a huge loss!
It's clear that the first level isn't full yet, after all, there are hundreds of excellent Dragon Transformation creatures there.
But Chen Qing could clearly sense that the monsters that entered were cautious and concealed their presence. After several monsters entered, they immediately closed the palace gates!
Are you sure this is the place?
The hoarse voice sounded like fingernails scraping on a blackboard, giving you goosebumps, yet it was the language of humans.
Chen Qing and Murong quietly retreated to the equipment area where Yuchi Dragon Transformation being trained, holding their breath as they listened to each other's conversation.
"There's no mistake," one of the hoarse voices replied. "That dragon maiden was controlled by my Gu poison technique; she won't lie. The third floor of this palace hides the most precious and dangerous bloodline. Although the probability of Dragon Transformation is the lowest, the quality is the highest. Plus, we've bathed in dragon blood; this time, we're guaranteed to succeed!"
Upon hearing the voice, Chen Qing's heart sank to the bottom. These guys clearly hadn't come here by chance; they had a premeditated purpose. This completely extinguished any last shred of hope in his heart—they weren't going to leave!
And the Ancient Insect control the Dragon Girl?
What's going on?
I'll start adding extra chapters tomorrow, hehe. The last four chapters will be released this week. It's been a bit long, so please forgive me, dear readers.
