The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 27: Pig Transforms into Dragon

"An arrow? Judging from the marks and length, it's something from the Later Jin Jiannu. How did it get here? Isn't the Later Jin going to invade southern Liaoning next year?"

On a hill, Shen Yuanliang, who was about to go home, accidentally found an arrow about three feet and three inches long in the jungle. He frowned, very confused.

It is now the middle of winter and the weather is cold, which is not suitable for a large-scale advance. Even if the Later Jin army wants to invade southern Liaoning, it will have to wait until next spring.

In order to figure out the connection, Shen Yuanliang, who was usually cautious, had to postpone his return home and explore everywhere along the traces left on the ground, not missing a single corner.

An hour later, Shen Yuanliang, who had been wandering in the mountains and forests with a bow and arrow in his hand, quietly came to an unfamiliar valley and saw the tent of Manggurtai and his group from afar.

In front of the tent, on a three-meter-high flagpole, a blue flag with a dragon pattern fluttered in the wind, but the entire camp was silent, with no one in sight.

"In front of us is what people call the Death Valley. It is said that the Death Valley is extremely dangerous and you can't get out once you enter it."

"They actually entered Death Valley. Does Death Valley have some 'unspeakable' secret? Or did they just get in accidentally?"

Looking at the surrounding environment, Shen Yuanliang found the memory of Death Valley in his memory, and suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

Starting thirty years ago, that is, in the 17th year of the Wanli reign, strange things began to happen frequently in this valley, and there were even rumors of ghosts and demons haunting it. Since then, it has become a forbidden area among people.

This is where the name "Death Valley" comes from!

"Just one look, one glance."

Shen Yuanliang squinted his eyes and kept walking back and forth at the entrance of the valley. It is said that curiosity kills the cat. After thinking for a moment, he slowly walked into the Death Valley.

Along the way, the slightly eerie Death Valley was littered with animal corpses, which was similar to the description of the Lion Camel Ridge Skeleton Forest in "Journey to the West", except that one described animals while the other described humans.

"Is this Jiannu, the elite of the Later Jin army, Bai Bayala?"

After walking a few dozen steps, Shen Yuanliang saw a recently dead Later Jin soldier in the dense jungle. Only skin and bones were left under the three layers of armor, and his flesh and blood seemed to have been devoured by the legendary monster.

When I got closer, I saw an irregular hole quietly appearing on the sturdy armor, as if it was pierced by some sharp object. It was extremely terrifying.

You have to know that this is three layers of armor: cotton armor, chain mail, and iron armor. Even if you practice the highest level of "Iron Shirt", it will not have such strong defense.

“Sasha!!!”

Walking in step by step, Shen Yuanliang discovered the corpses of nearly a hundred Later Jin Jiannu soldiers one after another. They all died in the same way, killed by one blow, without any struggle.

Half an incense stick later, Shen Yuanliang crouched down and came to the center of the Death Valley. He saw a pale-faced noble of the Later Jin Dynasty and a vine that was about a hundred feet long, as crystal clear as jade and looked like a ruby.

"Whoa!"

Without saying a word, Shen Yuanliang drew his bow and aimed at the neck of the Later Jin noble, shooting arrow after arrow until all the arrows in the quiver were shot out.

The appearance of the Later Jin Jiannu in the Death Valley was already unusual. All the other white-armored soldiers were dead, but this Later Jin noble was still fine. Anyone could see that there was a problem.

In order to eliminate the threat or avenge his father, Shen Yuanliang adopted the simplest and most direct method: destroy the enemy's physical body.

"Ah! It hurts me so much!"

Seeing that his spiritual mark was about to be imprinted on the core of the Abyss Demon Vine, a sharp pain spread from his body to the depths of his soul, and Manggurtai's mind suddenly returned to his body. He opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw a Han boy with a kind face holding a bow and arrow a hundred steps away, shooting arrow after arrow, without missing a single arrow.

The sharp arrow tore open his flesh and ruthlessly cut his blood vessels. Manggurtai was in a trance, covering his throat and saying "hehe". He wanted to say something, but no word came out.

Not even forty years old, the young Manggurtai has an extraordinary talent in martial arts. After obtaining the training method bestowed by the Abyss Porcupine Clan, he made rapid progress and is now already a third-grade martial artist.

"Whoa!"

Shen Yuanliang did not immediately go forward to check on Manggurtai's injuries, but turned back and retrieved a quiver from the dead white-armored soldier.

Standing a hundred steps away, aiming at Manggurtai's eyes, he continued to attack until he showed no reaction. Only then did Shen Yuanliang feel relieved that he was not pretending to be dead.

Be cautious. Shen Yuanliang has always been cautious in everything he does throughout his life!

[Ding! You killed one of the four great beiles of the Later Jin Dynasty, Heshuo Beile, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, Manggurtai, and intercepted a portion of the blue luck! ]

"Buzz!"

The bronze tripod in his mind was buzzing, and a deep blue pillar of luck and fortune that stretched from sky to earth above Manggurtai's head suddenly collapsed and turned into debris that poured into the tripod.

Manggurtai was a beile of the Later Jin Dynasty and the leader of the Zhenglan Banner. He was covered in blue luck and had great luck, second only to the emperor and the crown prince.

If Manggurtai had not been so ambitious and wanted to refine the Abyss Demon Vine, which resulted in his luck being suppressed, he, a third-grade martial artist, would not have been shot to death by Shen Yuanliang.

At the same time, a vast and ancient shadow emerged from Manggurtai, with a pig's body and a dragon's head. This was a wisp of dragon energy from the Later Jin Dynasty.

People call the Later Jin Jiannu "wild boar skins", but they don't know that pigs were also regarded as dragons in ancient times, and dragons and pigs are one and the same.

In the distant Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han's name when he was a child was "Zhi", which is another name for pig. Later, his name was changed to Liu Che.

"go with!"

Seeing that the mysterious shadow was about to disappear, a voice in the dark told Shen Yuanliang that this thing was very important to him, and then commanded the "cauldron" in his mind.

The bronze tripod swelled in the wind. Enshrouded in bronze light, the mysterious shadow struggled hard, but to no avail. Eventually, it was taken into the tripod.

"Use one hundred thousand of your luck as the furnace fire and refine it for me!"

True gold is not afraid of fire. In order to know the secret of the mysterious shadow, Shen Yuanliang followed the instructions from the unknown and continuously tempered it with the fire of luck.

Wisps of black smoke drifted away, and the mysterious shadow was tempered into a pure "Dragon Totem" under Shen Yuanliang's will, with a dragon head and a snake body.

Looking at the "dragon totem" emitting a hazy glow in front of him, Shen Yuanliang seemed to have entered the ancient times. From drilling wood to make fire to weaving nets to catch fish, from the Three Sovereigns to the Five Emperors, the origin of civilization was presented before him one by one.

A spirit of perseverance and self-improvement quietly thrives deep in the blood, combining with the strength of the tiger, the physique of the bear, and the speed of the leopard.

With both form and spirit, Shen Yuanliang completed the transformation from the inside out and officially awakened his innate supernatural power "Dragon". A giant green dragon hovered over his body.

The pillar of luck and light above his head gradually changed from white to green, like a pillar of the sky, shining brightly with the Azure Dragon in the East.
