Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

In the gloomy waters dotted with blue light, a group of five people swam slowly forward.

Except for Ning Yan, who was leading the group leisurely, Duan Haishan and others behind him all had serious expressions and were extremely alert.

All around, a large number of blue rays were shuttling back and forth.

It just makes your scalp tingle.

This is just like an ordinary person walking carelessly in front of a wild beast.

Once the enemy notices them, given the distance they are traveling at the moment, they will definitely be wiped out.

When he thought of this, Ji Dinghuang's liver was trembling.

I always feel that after meeting Ning Yan, life is getting more and more exciting.

Just as he was thinking about it, a huge blue-striped manta ray, nearly two meters long, rushed straight towards him.

"wrong!"

"What's going on with this guy?!"

Ji Dinghuang was a little flustered for a moment, and his breath fluctuated slightly.

According to Ning Yan's previous suggestion, they only need to disguise themselves as dragon descendants to safely pass through this area of ​​water.

Considering that the blue-lined rays feared the Dragonborn because of their blood and aura, Ning Yan specially provided them with a set of secret camouflage methods. After practicing, they could disguise themselves as Dragonborn to the greatest extent, and even possess the aura of atavism.

Even if a real dragon was placed in front of them, it would look extremely fake.

The content of the secret method is very simple. After practicing it, there is no need to even deform the appearance. After all, for aquatic monsters such as blue rays, there is no difference between having vision and not having it. They rely purely on perception to explore the surroundings.

Therefore, after using the secret method to break in, just as Ning Yan expected, the blue rays around them did not react to them at all. They continued to do what they had done before, as if they had long been accustomed to them passing through here.

But now, what about that blue-lined manta ray that was rushing straight towards him?

Could it be that because he had not practiced enough, there was a deviation or error in his aura?
Ji Dinghuang was very panicked.

The other person was nearly two meters long, which was rare in the entire water area.

If he was electrocuted at close range, he would be killed on the spot without even the strength to resist.

I can't die in a place like this!
Before he could decide what to do, he saw Ning Yan, who was originally swimming in the front, suddenly turned his head and swung his right hand forward violently. Halfway through, it turned into a huge dragon arm and dragon claw, and easily slapped the rushing blue-striped manta ray to the side, crashing into another group of blue-striped manta ray.

The other party crashed into the school of fish, shook its head as if a little dazed, and then swam away from them quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, not only Ji Dinghuang, but even Qi Ruyue and others were stunned.

"Is this blue-lined ray... so cowardly?"

"Or has the Dragonborn tamed them too well?"

In any case, one result that cannot be ignored is that Ning Yan's disguise is far more real than they imagined. Even a blue-lined ray of this size cannot be distinguished, let alone other small and medium-sized individuals.

Everyone felt a little relieved and continued to swim forward. Finally, they passed this enclosed water area without any danger.

After leaving the water, looking at the blue light behind him, He Qianyan couldn't help but sigh:

"I didn't expect there is such an easy way to sneak in. If Brother Ning wasn't here this time, there might have been a big fight here."

"A big battle doesn't matter. The key is not to alert the Dragonborn. If we let them escape again, this operation will be a joke."

Qi Ruyue shook her head and looked forward.

Ahead was a gradually narrowing mountain gap, but it was much wider than when they came here, enough for two people to enter side by side.

Arriving here, everyone did not delay at all and immediately used various exploration methods to check whether there were other traps or guards inside.

Not long after, they found a large area of ​​silver fishing nets. It was made of unknown material, and there were sharp metal caltrops at the joints, which seemed to be used to block the blue rays.

Two small mesh doors were specially opened on the edge of the fishing net. The silk screen on the door was slightly different from other fishing nets around it, and some warning spiritual patterns were secretly engraved on it. If an outsider accidentally opened the door, the dragonborn inside would definitely be alerted.

Instead of moving forward along the deliberately opened portal, the crowd sank directly into the water, dug a hole through the fishing net, and easily crawled through.

After that, there were no more extra warning items.

The group had no obstructions and finally arrived at a pool of water following the complex mountain gaps.

After coming out of the pool, there was a dry cave. The top was carved with knives and axes, which must have been opened by humans. There was a purple fluorescent stone on the top, but it was not bright enough, but instead covered the whole cave with a layer of weird color.

Soon after entering the cave, they could already hear the faint sound of conversation coming from inside:
"…How is the situation at the Sun Palace?"

"According to the information from the goggles, there were three waves of people breaking in one after another."

"Three waves of people? How could there be so many? Even if the Sun Palace was destroyed by those people in the third realm, the remnants of the formation left inside are not so easy to deal with. At least one needs to have the energy to break in. Where are there so many people with energy around here?"

"We are not very clear about the first and third groups. They all seem to have used secret techniques to conceal their identities. The only exception is the second group, which only has one woman. According to the information we received earlier, she should be the one who killed the third brother and his men at the peak of silk power."

"Humph, a bunch of cowards who don't even dare to show their faces and bodies in public. They must have been sent by those sneaky forces of the Yindu Cult.

As for that woman...it looks like we don't need to do anything, the revenge of the second and third brothers can be avenged by the trap inside."

"Since they were able to get through the remaining formation, could it be that they also have mastered the safe path to the Pole Star Palace?"

"A safe route to the Pole Star Hall? What a joke! How many years have we been operating here? There are exploration notes left by our ancestors, but even so, we can only barely pass through the Sun Hall and Moon Hall and explore the perimeter of the Pole Star Hall.

Moreover, whether you can get in on weekdays depends on the weather and other conditions.

Although now is the best time to travel through the palaces, they don't have a map. Even if they can enter the ruins of the Sun Palace and rely on their trump cards to force their way through the remaining formations, they will ultimately only stop at the Moon Palace.

Don't forget who destroyed the Moon Palace."

"Brother is right. Even those third-level experts who came to search for secret treasures didn't dare to break into the Moon Palace, let alone these guys who haven't even touched the edge of the third level. Forcing their way in would only bring trouble to themselves and lead to their destruction."

"Haha, if those people really dare to force their way in, that would be great. We don't need to do anything. The remaining traps inside can keep them all there forever."

……

Wait until the voices of agreement and flattery die down.

The deep voice of the Dragonborn leader sounded again:

"Did you call me here just to report this?"

"Of course it's more than that." A young voice immediately replied respectfully:

"In addition to finding out that the three groups of people broke in, we also detected that the corpses nearby seemed to have undergone an unknown change and are now moving inward. This situation is likely to affect the safe path we dug with great difficulty before."

"Dead bodies..."

The Dragonborn leader seemed a little hesitant:

"Those guys are almost all the remnants of the mutation. They have no rationality and are difficult to communicate with. Over the years, we have been able to control them with some external objects at best, but they are limited to the third level of energy. Even if we have fallen down now, it is almost impossible to control them.

How about this, you guys take the Sky Cloud Disk and go over there, if you find the path is blocked by them, try to knock on the Sky Cloud Disk to drive them away."

"But won't the knocking sound attract the attention of those intruders?"

"It will naturally attract their attention. It would be best if they could come. After all, the violent undead will always vent their anger."

"I see. So when things are over over there, will you come with us into the Polaris Palace?"

"I have something else to do here. I need to go to the underwater cave first. Although I have led Duan Haishan and the others in, and the corpses have returned according to the rules, I am worried that there will be some accidents in the meantime. I have to keep them buried under the water."

"Brother, you are worrying too much. If Duan Haishan and the others hide in Fulong, it will be fine. We can't do anything to them. But once they enter here, won't they be at our mercy?
One corpse is enough to kill them all. There is no need for you to waste time on them. Instead, the three groups of intruders are very worthy of attention. We can't plan here for so long and end up being disrupted by them."

"I have made up my mind. You go first."

"Okay, big brother, we'll leave first. Once you've dealt with the remains of Duan Haishan and the others, you must come here quickly."

"Ah."

……

As the conversation ended, the sound of footsteps in the cave gradually faded away.

Ning Yan and the others turned to look at Duan Haishan, their faces showing questions about the next arrangements.

Duan Haishan thought for a moment and then said in a concentrated voice:

"Let's make our move later."

Ji Ding's yellow eyes flashed:
"You don't want to alert the dragonborn who left?"

Duan Haishan nodded:

"After all, this is their lair. Even if those Dragonborn are not strong, they may know how to activate some traps. The fewer people we have, the safer we will be, and the higher the possibility of killing their leader.

And you also heard just now that those Dragonborns should be taking the Sky Cloud Disk to the Polaris Palace. Putting aside the treasures in the Polaris Palace, it may not be a bad thing for us to let them use the Sky Cloud Disk to mobilize the corpses to fight those intruders.

If any changes occur in the Shinra ruins, the closest Fulong will often be the first to be affected.

If we can eliminate all the dangerous factors here, we will only have to deal with the remaining few dragonborns in the end."

Everyone thought about it and found no reason to object.

So the next question is how to choose the battlefield.

They had finally sneaked into the cave, and it would be most appropriate to ambush the Dragonborn leader here, but this cave was the opponent's lair, and no one knew how many backup plans he had prepared. If it was difficult to destroy him in a short period of time, unexpected changes would likely occur.

Therefore, everyone chose to return along the original route, erase all traces of their existence, and place the battlefield outside the opponent's lair.

Fortunately, they did not cause any signs of damage along the way, including the caves previously dug underwater, which could be easily restored to their original state.

When they came out of the mountain gap, they would wait quietly nearby and lie in ambush.

After a while, the faint sound of flowing water came from the crevices in the mountains.

Hearing that voice, Ning Yan's heart couldn't help but lift slightly.

But he couldn't release his perception to observe, because the other party was an extremely cunning dragon leader who had practiced for many years and had experienced countless risks. He had easily avoided the encirclement and suppression organized by the Jian Ji Sect and other organizations. He would never believe that the other party didn't have any skills.

What's more, this place is near the enemy's lair, and they might have some tricks up their sleeves, so we must be extremely careful.

As he waited quietly, not long after, a majestic figure swam out from the crevice in the mountains.

He was wearing a simple black suit and looked to be around sixty or seventy years old. He had a strong body and well-defined muscles that held his clothes up high. His face was extremely thin, with sunken cheekbones on both sides. His long and narrow face looked like a dragon beast, and he even had a deliberately long mustache that kept swaying in the water.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the pair of dragon horns on his head. The dragon horns are not long or wide, but extremely complex, as if dense jungles are intertwined on top of his head, and the blood looks extremely thick.

At this moment, the other party just left the gap in the mountain, but slowly stopped where he was.

He looked around, his pupils filled with suspicion.

Did they discover their ambush?

Ning Yan's heart skipped a beat.

It shouldn't have happened. They had already made extremely careful preparations, and even their energy had been restrained to the limit at this moment.

Come here quickly.

Come here quickly and let me love you.

Ning Yan suppressed the violence in his heart, slowly lowered his eyes and stopped looking at the other person.

After stagnating for a while in front of the cave entrance, he finally seemed to have not found the problem. He waved his hand and floated towards the direction of the underwater cave.

He had walked less than a hundred feet when two whistling sounds came almost simultaneously, like the sudden appearance of thunder. Two rays of light, one black and one silver, suddenly shot out from the ground, splitting to the left and right, and all came towards him fiercely with lightning speed.

This extremely sudden attack instantly made the dragon leader extremely frightened and angry.

He did not dodge. His left and right hands suddenly turned into huge and heavy dragon claws and fiercely slapped down at the swift light.

Amid the loud explosion, the dragon scales shattered and the dragon leader couldn't help but retreat seven or eight steps.

Before he could stand firmly, Ji Dinghuang, who was sticking to the reef, shouted loudly and chopped down with an axe.

The calm and heavy water flow was split on the spot, and the ferocious axe force swept towards the dragon leader like lightning, causing him to change color in an instant.

He raised his hand and ejected a simple small shield covered with countless patterns. It became three feet long in the wind. He chopped the shield with the force of the axe, directly splitting it in half. The force contained in the axe even chopped it away fiercely.

Just as he staggered back, a monument as heavy as a mountain came crushing down on his head! (End of this chapter)
