Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 485 Is it that simple?
"Yes, just go ahead and do it!"

Tu Fei and the others burst into laughter, patting their chests as they assured Ao Bing.

Ao Bing felt a warmth in his heart, and immediately nodded with a smile, taking steps towards the valley.

Soon, he stepped into the valley under everyone's gaze, thus attracting the attention of many snow apes.

These snow apes are the same kind and descendants of the founders of the Ice and Snow Palace. They are born with immense strength and can be said to be able to contend with cultivators with their physical bodies alone.

Upon seeing Ao Bing arrive, the snow apes became alert, some climbing tree branches, others scaling high places, baring their teeth and glaring menacingly at the young man's figure.

Facing the gazes from all around him, Ao Bing took a deep breath, then grasped the city entry token. With a thought, he quietly released a wisp of pure dragon energy.

A dragon aura, comparable to that of a real dragon, spread out and swept across the entire snow valley.

The six spiritual herbs in the center, nourished by the dragon's energy, shone brightly and unfurled their leaves.

The source dragon fruit that it touched also trembled, its dragon body shimmering with golden light, and it turned slightly as if it were alive, staring straight at the seemingly tiny dragon boy.

At the same time, the hundreds of snow apes in the valley also trembled, their eyes widening as they stared blankly and in astonishment at Ao Bing as he stepped into the valley.

As they watched, the hostility in their eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by awe, excitement, and even a deeper level of fanaticism and affection.

"Squeak!"

"Ow!"

"Coo-coo-quack!!"

After a brief silence, various monkey cries rang out.

Hundreds of snow apes leaped down from the treetops and cliffs, excitedly pounding their chests and howling at Ao Bing.

Seeing this, Tu Fei and the others tensed up and prepared to act at any moment.

But Ao Bing didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and waved to them gently.

Seeing this, the snow apes became even more excited and immediately leaped and climbed the rocks, rushing towards Ao Bing.

Soon, hundreds of snow apes surrounded Ao Bing, enjoying the dragon energy emanating from him while making joyful noises at him.

Ao Bing smiled and reached out to stroke the snow ape closest to him.

The snow ape was flattered and immediately knelt down obediently so that the 'short' Ao Bing could stroke its head.

As she knelt down, the little ape on her back, blinking its eyes, came into Ao Bing's view.

"...and it's a female monkey?"

Ao Bing was slightly taken aback, then stretched out his arm and picked up the little monkey with a smile.

Seeing this, the surrounding snow apes became even more excited, howling and gazing fervently at the little monkey held in Ao Bing's arms as if electing a king.

"……It's that simple?"

Outside the valley, the people from the Immortal Palace looked at each other, all with strange expressions.

Pang Bo glanced at the Holy Prince beside him, carefully considered his words, and asked in a low voice:
"If you were in charge, would you be able to make these snow apes bow down in worship?"

"..."

The Holy Prince smirked, glanced at him speechlessly, and shook his head, saying, "Hard to say!"

Tu Fei couldn't help but complain, "Is Brother Ao a real dragon or a real monkey?!"

The Black Emperor gave him a disdainful look: "You've been beaten silly by me, haven't you? There's no such thing as a real monkey in this world!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Fei flew into a rage and immediately glared at Hei Huang, saying, "You damn dog, you want to fight again?"

Black Emperor was equally enraged: "Who are you calling a dead dog?"

Tu Fei arrogantly declared, "Whoever calls the name should call the name!"

Seeing that the man and the dog were about to fight again, Ye Fan was exasperated and was about to intervene when he received a telepathic message from Ao Bing.

"Let's hurry and get the Source Dragon Fruit while we have the chance!"

"Remember to leave one for them. Nourished by my dragon energy, this one plant is as effective as six, so it's not a loss for them!"

Upon hearing Ao Bing's telepathic message, Ye Fan and the others were overjoyed.

Ji Ziyue sighed, "As expected, Xiao Bing is the kind-hearted one!"

As she spoke, she glared at the crowd, saying with exasperation, "Look at you all, so heartless! You only think about taking treasures from the Dragon Nest, and you don't even consider the feelings of the local residents!"

The way you're saying that makes it sound like you weren't planning on making a move at all!
Everyone rolled their eyes and wisely refrained from refuting.

"Alright, let's not delay any longer and get the treasure!"

Ye Fan smiled and spoke, then took the lead and flew towards the Source Dragon Fruit.

Before long, Ye Fan and his companions had taken all six fruits and five spiritual herbs.

During this time, the snow apes surrounding Ao Bing did express their dissatisfaction, but Ao Bing simply took out a dragon scale and handed it to an old ape with a powerful aura, which made the group of apes instantly forget about the Source Dragon Fruit. They cheered and jumped for joy, excitedly howling around the dragon scale.

Seeing this, Ye Fan and the others marveled, marveling at the power of the true dragon.

Just then, Ao Bing walked over carrying the little monkey, followed closely by a large group of snow apes, and seven or eight powerful old apes kept pace with him.

The one in the lead gripped the dragon scales tightly, watching the group warily; it had clearly become Ao Bing's personal bodyguard.

Feeling the hostile gazes of the snow apes, Ye Fan couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

The people around looked at each other in disbelief, completely unprepared for things to turn out this way.

Ao Bing, however, didn't care at all. Holding the little monkey, he said happily, "Brother Ye, I've already talked to them. They're willing to give us the Source Dragon Fruit and even plan to lead us to a place with a denser dragon vein!"

"Oh?"

Ye Fan's eyes lit up.

The people around them exchanged glances, all somewhat surprised.

Without hesitation, they quickly made way, allowing Ao Bing and the snow apes to pass by in a grand procession, all the way to the cave in the valley, entering the depths of the mountain's interior. As the group progressed, the surrounding dragon energy became increasingly dense.

When the dragon energy became sufficiently concentrated, the snow apes suddenly became tense, stopped in their tracks, and refused to continue forward.

Ao Bing frowned slightly and whispered to the old ape beside him.

A short while later, Ao Bing nodded, returned the baby monkey to its mother, and turned to walk towards the crowd.

"I've inquired, and their ancestors live in the area ahead; it's a forbidden zone they cannot trespass upon."

"ancestor……"

Tu Fei frowned in thought, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be the old ape who created the Ice and Snow Palace ten thousand years ago?"

Ye Fan and Xiao Yan knew the plot, but facing the people from the Immortal Palace, they still nodded and said, "It's possible!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go take a look!"

Everyone glanced back at the snow ape, and Ao Bing smiled and waved goodbye before continuing onward.

Before long, they came across an ancient well, with a block of ice sealing the wellhead. Inside the well was a lifelike old ape sitting in meditation with its eyes closed.

It was tall, covered in long, snow-white fur, and had a peaceful expression, as if it were still alive.

"It's that old ape!"

Tu Fei exclaimed in surprise, his tone extremely certain.

Ye Fan gazed at the ancient well, pondering whether or not to go down into it.

In the original story, they were worried that there was a great terror sealed by the old ape who had passed away in the ancient well, so they changed their route and did not go deep into the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest from the ancient well.

But now, with the Dark Jade Pendant in his hand, he is confident that he can contend with any truly terrifying being.

"move!"

Ye Fan steeled himself and gritted his teeth, saying, "Since we're already here, we should at least see what's down there!"

"Are you sure?" the Holy Prince frowned. "The founder of the Ice Palace passed away here, clearly using his own remains to suppress something."

"Moving it rashly might be inappropriate; let's take another route!"

Xiao Yan laughed and said, "Don't worry, since Brother Ye has said so, he must be absolutely sure. We just need to carry it. If anything goes wrong, someone else will take the blame!"

"..."

The group looked at each other, and after a moment's thought, decided to trust Ye Fan.

The Holy Prince and Pang Bo exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and together moved the piece of ice away.

The moment Xuanbing left the well, the ground beneath her feet suddenly trembled violently.

Everyone was startled and retreated rapidly, moving away from the area within a hundred meters of the ancient well.

The next second—

"boom!!"

An incredibly dense dragon aura gushed forth from the wellhead, like a reversed waterfall, instantly spreading in all directions and filling the entire interconnected cave.

No one dared to be negligent, and they all activated their divine power to protect themselves.

Ye Fan stared in astonishment at the soaring dragon. He saw that among the surging dragon energy were countless source particles, which shimmered with a crystalline luster in the vast white ice and snow cave.

"This is the aura of divine power!"

Black Emperor exclaimed in surprise, "Good heavens! The divine source particles have all been brought up by the dragon energy. There must be a large amount of divine source down there, and definitely more than one piece!"

Everyone became excited.

Only Ye Fan and Xiao Yan frowned, wondering, "If it's just dragon energy and divine source, why would this great being from ten thousand years ago choose to pass away here?"

After calming down, everyone looked at each other and realized the problem as well.

Just then, Ao Bing, the only one who hadn't retreated, raised his hand and whispered:
"Well, I might be able to guess a thing or two..."

"Oh?"

Everyone turned their attention to Ao Bing, only to find that he was still standing near the ancient well, surrounded by dragon energy that seemed to have solidified into a long, menacing dragon that was visible to the naked eye.

"This is... the aura of a dragon vein?!"

Everyone was shocked to see this, and then realized that the dragon vein energy they saw was only a part of it. More of the dragon energy had been attracted by Ao Bing at the very beginning of the surge and had condensed around him.

Ao Bing reached out, stroking the dragon energy around him, and explained softly:

"This wellhead seems to be the only outlet of a dragon vein. If it were not sealed by the Xuanbing ice, it would gush out from here and submerge the entire valley."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Ice and Snow Palace is not the most powerful force in the Northern Region."

"If this dragon vein energy were to break free of its restraints, it would not only attract much attention and cause disaster for the Ice and Snow Palace, but it would also destroy the habitat of these snow apes, leading to the extinction of the entire race..."

Hearing Ao Bing's words, everyone seemed to be deep in thought.

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "That makes sense!"

Ye Fan agreed, saying, "The Ice and Snow Palace is unaware of the Myriad Dragon Nest. It is likely that this senior deliberately concealed it, not wanting his descendants and clansmen to be burdened by its treasure and bring about their own destruction."

At this point, Ye Fan paused, then looked at Ao Bing with amazement and said:
“Brother Ao, your true dragon bloodline is indeed domineering, even the dragon vein energy is so docile.”

"With you controlling the dragon energy from the side, is it possible for us to enter from here and step into the deeper part of the well?"

Ao Bing sensed the dragon vein in the well and nodded, saying, "It should be fine!"

Ye Fan smiled and said, "That's good!"

Ao Bing continued, "However, I have a suggestion. Before we go down, it would be best to reseal the Xuanbing (mysterious ice) to prevent us from going too far at the bottom of the well and causing the dragon energy to break through the valley, attracting attention..."
