Chapter 402: Leading the dragon out of the cave and taking the treasure from the dragon's nest [Subscription required]

Lin Hongyu is out of confinement!

When Zhou Chun heard what Zhou Daoyi, who was visiting, said, he was delighted.

Lin Hongyu had said before that she wanted to go into seclusion to practice a life-saving escape technique.

Now that she has come out of seclusion, it means that she has mastered the art of escape and can help seize the Millennium Dragon Grass.

How could Zhou Chun not be happy?

You know, Zhou Chun has been waiting for this day for a long time.

But when the time came, he became a little nervous and asked in a low voice: "Since Senior Lin has come out of retreat, can we start that matter?"

"Haha, it's rare to see you like this, Zhengchun. It seems that you care about your pet as much as your own path."

Zhou Daoyi laughed and nodded immediately, saying, "Of course, if Hongyu hadn't been ready, I wouldn't have come to find you."

"I am obsessed with this. I will go and explain this to the Grand Elder right away."

Zhou Chun smiled awkwardly, and immediately went to find Zhou Mingde to explain the matter.

Helping Zhou Chun's pet Silver Lightning Thunder Python to transform into a dragon was a major event that the Zhou family had already decided on.

Now that Lin Hongyu, the key figure, is ready, there will naturally be no problems on Zhou Mingde's side.

So he and Zhou Chun immediately rushed to the Caiyu Mountain stronghold in the wilderness, leaving Zhou Daoyi in charge of Tuyunling.

This was a plan that had been decided long ago. When plotting to find a fourth-level dragon's lair, Zhou Daoyi's green dragon was not only not a help, but instead a hatred attractor, which could easily trigger an endless hatred between the fourth-level dragon and the Zhou family.

So Zhou Daoyi cannot participate in this big event this time.

By the time Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun arrived at Tuyunling, Lin Hongyu had already made all preparations.

Before setting off, Zhou Mingde suddenly took out an object and handed it to Lin Hongyu, saying, "Take this spiritual crystal, Fellow Daoist Lin. If you get lost in the wilderness, this object can provide you with a lot of help!"

"Oh, the Zhou family still has this kind of good stuff."

Lin Hongyu's eyes lit up and she quickly took the spirit crystal and examined it.

For a Jindan-stage cultivator like her, there are not many things that can be of great use, but spirit crystal is definitely one of them.

A spiritual crystal that can replenish a large amount of mana at any time during outdoor expeditions can often allow a Jindan stage cultivator to accomplish something that would otherwise be impossible, or even save his own life.

Zhou Mingde had obtained three spirit crystals from the relics of Han Yuan, a Jindan-stage insect cultivator.

Although these three spirit crystals are not as big as the ones he used when he participated in the Southern Expedition, they are half of their size. When one of them is filled with spiritual power, it is enough to restore most of the mana of an early Jindan cultivator like Lin Hongyu.

After playing with the spirit crystal for a while, Lin Hongyu nodded with satisfaction and said, "It is indeed a spirit crystal. With this in hand, I will be more confident this time!"

Then he flipped his palm and put it into the storage bag.

This spiritual crystal was obviously a gift from the Zhou family to her through this operation, as a reward for her willingness to take risks for the Zhou family.

She knew all this in her heart, so she felt at ease accepting it.

Giving her a treasure like the spiritual crystal before leaving was obviously also to enable her to do her best to delay the fourth-order dragon and create an opportunity for Zhou Chun and others to seize the Millennium Dragon Grass.

Everything was ready. Zhou Daoquan was left at the Caiyushan stronghold to provide support. The three of them immediately rushed to the dragon's nest where Lu Ran had led Zhou Chun and the others.

A few hours later, the group of three stopped in a water grass forest a hundred miles away from the dragon's lair.

Zhou Mingde then raised his hand and pointed forward and said, "It's right in front of us. If you go over there, Fellow Daoist Lin, you should be able to attract the dragon out. Then you just need to leave a mark to guide us, and then lead the dragon away!"

"Okay, but you have to be careful too. There must be servants guarding the dragon's lair. You won't be able to get the Millennium Dragon Grass easily!"

Lin Hongyu nodded slightly and also gave instructions to the two of them.

"Don't worry, Senior Lin. We have already prepared for this. All you have to do is hold back the dragon!"

Zhou Chun said with a firm look in his eyes.

After this brief communication, Lin Hongyu immediately fled in the direction of the dragon's lair.

Just as Zhou Mingde said, although she did not intentionally release the aura of provocation, she was still sensed by the dragon after entering the dragon's nest within dozens of miles.

However, the dragon was very cunning. After sensing Lin Hongyu's presence, it did not directly expose itself and expel her, but quietly came out of the dragon's nest to attack her.

If she hadn't been well prepared, with her consciousness on high alert, and her sensitivity to the aura of dragons, she might have really fallen into the dragon's trap.

Suddenly, a ball of intense fire erupted from the bottom of the water, and a black dragon more than twenty feet long suddenly revealed its true form in the water.

It’s a fourth-order intermediate-grade black dragon!
Lin Hongyu's heart tightened and she pretended to be panicked and quickly fled towards the water.

Although the black dragon was surprised that she was able to discover its sneak attack in advance, it was even more angry at her attack on itself, and immediately chased after her with a roar.

The water is the black dragon's home turf, and its cultivation is even higher than Lin Hongyu's.

In just a distance of several hundred feet from the bottom of the water to the surface, Lin Hongyu encountered its attacks several times and almost failed to break through the water.

Even after escaping to the surface of the water with some minor injuries, the black dragon still did not give up the pursuit.

This is Longyuanze, the direct territory of the Jiaolong clan. When fighting here, the Black Jiao has nothing to fear.

Even though Lin Hongyu had companions to support her, it was not afraid at all.

Just after the black dragon chased Lin Hongyu away, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde quickly rushed towards the black dragon's nest from the bottom of the water.

Lin Hongyu had already marked the approximate location of the dragon's lair, so they just had to follow the marks.

Time was running out, so the two of them rushed to the dragon's lair as quickly as possible and soon discovered the dragon's lair through their spiritual sense.

Just as Lu Ran had said at the beginning, just outside the deep nest, there were many hundreds of years old dragon grasses and many dragon blood grasses growing.

But normally Zhou Chun would try to snatch these spiritual objects upon seeing them, but now he and Zhou Mingde didn't even bother to look at them.

The two of them used their self-defense weapons to protect themselves and then rushed directly into the deep nest.

This dragon's lair was an underwater cave that opened toward the sky. The space inside was very large and very dark. As soon as Zhou Chun and the others entered, in addition to the remaining breath of the black dragon, they sensed several other breaths.

Apparently, as Lin Hongyu said, the dragon's lair was guarded by its subdued minions and servants.

"One third-level upper-grade monster and two third-level middle-grade monsters. Don't waste time with them!"

Zhou Mingde quickly determined the grades of the monsters inside, and then decisively used a talisman to attack the third-grade top-quality monster.

The talisman he used also came from Qinglian Temple. It was a reward to the Zhou family for offering the prescription for exterminating the "Thousand Ants and Crickets". It was a flying sword talisman with fire attributes.

With his cultivation base at the middle stage of Purple Mansion, activating the talisman was enough to pose a fatal threat to a top-grade third-order monster.

Therefore, when the aura of the talisman was released, the third-grade top-grade monster, the dragon-scaled black fish, immediately focused all its attention on defending against the talisman's attack.

At the same time, Zhou Chun also offered up the "Golden Light Bowl" talisman bestowed upon him by the abbot of Qingweizi Temple.

After this talisman was activated, it immediately formed a golden bowl upside down on his head, releasing a rich golden light to protect him.

The spells cast by the other two third-level middle-grade monsters fell on the golden light, but only caused it to shake slightly.

Zhou Chun did not get entangled with the two monsters, and rushed directly into the depths of the dragon's lair.

This action immediately attracted the full attention of the two third-level intermediate-grade monsters. They hurriedly appeared and tried their best to stop Zhou Chun.

These two third-level intermediate-grade monsters, one is a black dragon turtle with a single dragon horn, and the other is a one-horned dragon python with a single horn like Baibai.

Seeing that their innate spells were useless against Zhou Chun, the two monsters simply rammed their huge bodies into him, trying to stop him from moving forward in this way.

But how could Zhou Chun let them do as they wished?

Zhou Chun raised his hand and slapped the storage bag on his waist, and four "Sky Frost Cold Bees" that were close to maturity were released by him. Then, two by two, they spit out white "Sky Frost Cold Air" towards the two monsters.

Suddenly, four white ice chains appeared in the water wherever the four cold air passed.

After the two monsters were hit by the cold air, their huge bodies were quickly frozen.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Chun collected the four "Sky Frost Bees", quickly flew past the two frozen monsters, and dived deep into the dragon's lair.

Deep within the dragon's lair is a water vein, from which gushing water contains traces of evil spirits.

The Kuishui evil spirit is an extremely pure water-attributed spiritual power, but its nature is too heavy and destructive, so it is not suitable for improving magic power. However, it is very suitable for tempering the body and enhancing the power of magic tools and magic treasures.

The reason why the black dragon built its nest not far from the mainland is because it took a fancy to the existence of the evil spirit of Kuishui. It usually stays here to absorb the evil spirit of Kuishui to temper its dragon body.

For a pure water-attributed dragon like the Black Flood Dragon, the stronger its body is tempered, the more its own bloodline will be passively tempered and purified. In the long run, the speed of its cultivation will naturally increase, and the probability of breaking through the fifth level in the future will also increase slightly.

Therefore, such a precious land will definitely not be left easily before it breaks through to the fifth level.

It is precisely because this black dragon has been entrenched here for many years and is nourished by the evil spirit of Kuishui that there are so many dragon blood spiritual objects near the dragon's nest, and they are so old.

In the area around the water vein spirit eye, Zhou Chun saw at a glance several thousand-year-old dragon grasses, as well as dragon scales, dragon teeth, and other rare treasures dropped by the black dragon.

He looked as if he had discovered a special barrier in a corner, and it was obvious that there might be more treasures hidden there.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chun couldn't help but sigh: "This is the real dragon's nest!"

He had no doubt that if he could get everything in the dragon's lair, his wealth would surpass that of many Jindan stage cultivators.

But if that happened, he would probably be targeted by the black dragon and would be hunted down without end.

So after a moment of shock, he quickly suppressed his greed and did not touch those treasures that looked extremely precious. He just quickly picked three thousand-year-old dragon grasses and left two for the black dragon.

To the black dragon, the thousand-year-old dragon grass should be the least valuable thing, because it is completely useless to it and is just a reward for its minions and slaves.

Perhaps some will also be handed over to the Elders' Council of the Jiaolong clan to be used to train new Jiaolongs.

In short, the two plants Zhou Chun left behind should be enough for the black dragon.

After taking a look at the other things, Zhou Chun did not pick up the dragon scales and dragon teeth that had fallen off the black dragon, nor did he touch the pearls and gems that looked very precious. He just took a black ore as big as a millstone, a black turtle shell, and a blue unicorn horn.

Originally, he wanted to see if he could pick up some other spiritual objects that would not continue to anger the black dragon, but at this time, the frozen turtle and python had already rushed over with injuries, leaving him no time to continue choosing.

Zhou Chun, who had already achieved his bottom-line goal, didn't want to get caught in the dragon's lair by the black dragon that had been killed back because of his momentary greed.

After all, no one knows how long Lin Hongyu can hold back the black dragon.

"Go away!"

Zhou Chun let out a low shout, his mind moved, and the "Golden Light Bowl" above his head emitted a stream of golden light that swept forward.

Suddenly, the black dragon turtle that blocked his retreat by relying on its huge size was swept away.

However, this beast had thick skin and flesh, and even had hard dragon scales on its abdomen, so it was not seriously injured.

Zhou Chun didn't want to get entangled with these beasts, so he used the power of the talisman to blow them away and quickly broke out.

At the same time, he did not forget to send a message to Zhou Mingde: "Grand Elder, the things have been obtained, we can withdraw now!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde immediately replied, "Okay, Zhengchun, don't worry about me, we can just go back to Caiyu Mountain and meet up!"

It is always safer to escape separately than to escape together.

At least even if someone is caught, they won’t be caught in one fell swoop.

So after Zhou Chun got his answer, he did not linger any longer and rushed out immediately.

Perhaps knowing that Zhou Chun had stolen the treasures in the dragon's nest, the turtle and python behind him only chased him relentlessly and did not help the black-scaled dragon fish.

So not long after Zhou Chun rushed out of the underground cave, Zhou Mingde also escaped.

What’s interesting is that after they came out, they both seemed to have telepathic connection and picked up a large handful of the hundreds of years old Dragon Grass outside.

This hundreds of years old dragon-transforming grass is certainly not enough to transform a dragon-born monster into a dragon, but it is still of great help to some low-level monsters to evolve into mid-level monsters.

The Zhou family has now domesticated a large number of dragon-born monsters. Once these dragon-transforming grasses are given out, they will surely be able to cultivate a lot of intermediate-level monsters.
