After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 303 Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom!

Catacombs.

While the clan was pacifying Yongyi, Shen Can and Zhihuo Luwu returned to the underground cave.

This time, he brought Kui Ling with him.

Although Shen Can had some doubts about whether the underground cave was the dwelling place of the Black Bird when he came last time, the cave was too mysterious inside for him to make an absolute judgment.

Kui Ling had previously stated that it could resonate with its mother's war drum.

When the idea of ​​coming to the underground cave came up, Chi Huo Lu Wu was quite happy to agree.

Since meeting Shen Can, a cultivation cave has been arranged for it. Although the source energy is not yet sufficient to support its daily cultivation, the source energy is increasing every day.

This visible increase made it very satisfied.

Not to mention, last time they even obtained half a fifth-tier spirit fruit from the underground cave.

Although I felt bloated for a long time after eating it, my cultivation level, which had been stagnant for a long time, also increased a little bit.

There is hope for spiritual practice!
As for getting beaten up in the underground cave, that's nothing. Before it was with Shen Can, it usually got beaten up for no reason.

Last time, we gained at least a considerable amount of resources and even severely injured a fifth-tier monster.

The Kui drum hung at Shen Can's waist, and the Kui spirit sat on his shoulder.

"How was it? Did you sense anything?"

Standing at the edge of the jungle outside the cave, Shen Can first asked Kui Ling a question.

"No." Kui Ling shook her head.

Then, Shen Can looked at Chi Huo Lu Wu and asked, "Should we go and take another look at that skull spot from last time?"

Shen Can spotted the skull spot immediately, but unfortunately, the monster guarding that area was too powerful and was detected on the spot.

"Forget it, there are too many spirits guarding the area. Why don't we go find some other precious medicines?"

Chi Huo Lu Wu shook its head. In its eyes, what use was a pile of bones? Before, it hadn't figured out what was inside that ball of light. It thought that the ball of light guarded by so many spirits was a good thing, which was why it took Shen Can there.

We already figured out what it was last time, and with so many monsters guarding the area, we might as well go find other fifth-tier medicinal treasures.

Once I've gathered more fifth-tier medicinal herbs and further improved my strength, I'll come back for that pile of bones.

The man, the beast, and the drum quietly entered the underground cave. The Crimson Fire Lu Wu also shrunk to about a foot in size and followed Shen Can's side.

After its previous adventure through the underground cave, it realized that Shen Can's spiritual sense was much stronger than its own, allowing it to detect danger in advance.

The dim forest, the chilly mist, and the sleeping spirits everywhere, some hanging directly from the trees and crawling on the hillside.

These spirits, fast asleep, absorbed the chilling energy within the cave.

Shen Can tried his best to control his aura. With the interaction of the five elements, he transformed his aura into the power of the wood element, trying his best to suppress the heat on his body.

Besides hoping to obtain some precious medicine, the goal this time is to explore as much of the underground cave as possible, which will also make it easier for the Kui Spirit to sense things.

This little idiot, although he can sense his mother, has no idea how far away she is.

Only by going as deep as possible into the underground cave can the Kui spirit sense more places.

The underground cave has a complete range of landforms, including towering mountains, lakes, and rivers, but everything is tinged with an inky black color.

When they arrived at the bank of a large, black river, there was not a sound at all, and Shen Can and the others could hardly see that the black water was flowing.

On the vast expanse of water, stretching as far as the eye can see, plumes of black smoke rise up.

"This is the farthest I've ever been before."

Chi Huo Lu Wu transmitted his thoughts to Shen Can.

This place is only a little over 100,000 miles away from the entrance to the underground cave. It is also the first wide black river we encounter after entering, which lies across our eyes.

Shen Can did not rush over, for countless monsters also lurked in the black water.

“This black river is very long, longer than the distance we came in from. I tried to find its source before, but I traveled tens of thousands of miles without reaching the end. Later, it was discovered.”

For Chi Huo Lu Wu, his experiences in the underground cave were mostly scenes of him getting beaten up, which was really hard to talk about.

Shen Can began to walk upstream along the winding river. The hazy fog grew thicker and thicker, and the smell of decay in the air became stronger.

Traces of a fight can be seen along the riverbank, though they have been there for quite some time.

At this moment, Kui Ling had already shrunk inside the Kui Drum, trying her best to sense her mother.

"I can't sense it."

After Shen Can had walked along the edge of the Blackwater for several days, Kui Ling said with a pout, "I can't sense anything at all."

"It's okay, let's look again."

……

The Black River meanders and branches endlessly. After more than ten days, Shen Can still hadn't found the end of the river after crossing dozens of tributaries.

That's for sure. Although they didn't cross the Blackwater River, in the process of searching for its source, they were actually heading deeper into the cave as the river meandered and twisted.

The danger they sensed along the way increased, and on one occasion they even saw three fifth-tier spirits lying in one place, breathing in and out yin energy.

"How about we step back a bit?"

The increasing danger made Chi Huo Lu Wu hesitate to retreat.

Not only Lu Wu, but Shen Can himself also had the idea of ​​retreating for the time being. Under these circumstances, continuing to move forward rashly would only trap them here.

Why not try a different approach?

Even now, Kui Ling still cannot sense her mother's presence.

Shen Can didn't expect that Kui Ling would find its mother as soon as it entered.

Of course, it wasn't a wasted trip. The roads we traveled and the sights we saw along the way could be made into maps for future reference.

Shen Can began to back away, retracing his steps. As he passed a small hill overlooking the water, he suddenly felt a jolt.

A series of black streaks of light shot towards the hill, then disappeared into different parts of the hill.

Black runes of witchcraft appeared in the corner of the hill.

Compared to other shamanic scripts that glow, these scripts are dim and blend perfectly with their surroundings.

Wu Wen appeared and formed a light shield about ten feet in size, then quickly disappeared again, as if nothing had happened.

Shen Can suddenly disappeared into the hillside.

Seeing this, Chi Huo Lu Wu's eyes lit up. Although it didn't understand, it felt very powerful. It followed Shen Can into the light barrier and disappeared as well.

Since leaving the underground cave last time, Shen Can has been pondering effective ways to hide and protect himself within it.

This is a concealment formation, which has the ability to use the terrain to hide one's figure.

Compared to the tortoise shell formation, the concealment formation is smaller and can draw on the power of mountains, rivers, and vegetation to make it difficult for living beings to detect.

Wow!

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the calm Blackwater River, and a fish fin, about ten feet in size, emerged from the black water.

Its fins were sharp as knives, cutting through the black water and quickly revealing dense black scales.

This was a monster over two hundred feet tall, with the head of a dragon and the body of a fish. Its aura caused the surrounding cold mist to condense in the air, and its dark red eyes were filled with chaos, ferocity, and bloodlust.

The terrifying aura caused the spirits on both banks of the river to tremble and bow their heads. Even the fifth-tier spirits on the riverbank prostrated themselves on the ground, some even pressing their backs to the ground to show their submission. The dragon-headed spirit let out a muffled groan and opened its mouth. The yin energy within a radius of hundreds of miles seemed to have found an outlet, and it violently swallowed it into its mouth.

Despite the thick fog inside the cave, the yin energy circulating within it, much like the primal energy permeating the void outside the cave, is present in wisps and strands.

As it absorbed the Yin energy, the enormous body of the dragon-headed monster was half-lifted from the black water.

Then you can see that, more than ten feet below its dorsal fin, a white jade tree branch resembling a deer antler is deeply embedded in its body.

The spot where the white jade tree branch pierced the monster's body was filled with an extremely dense yin energy. Soaked in black blood, black lines appeared on the branch.

However, the vast dragon power released spontaneously from the tree branches seemed to be the roar of a dragon's shadow.

This isn't a tree branch; it's clearly a dragon horn.

Streams of dragon power surged from the dragon horns into the monster's body, and the surging dragon power collided continuously with the yin energy within the dragon-headed monster's body.

Each collision sent up terrifying ripples.

The dragon-headed monster exhaled yin energy, and a halo of light emanated from its massive body from its head and tail, rapidly surging towards the white jade dragon horn.

Round and round it went, like waves crashing against the dragon's horns, to suppress the dragon power within them.

Half a month later, the dragon-headed monster fell back into the water and began to continue its journey along the river.

The lingering oppressive aura kept the spirits on both sides of the strait from moving an inch for several days after its departure.

Since the monsters didn't move, Shen Can, who was hiding, naturally didn't dare to move either.

Previously, the spirits each had their own location, but now they have all appeared on both sides of the river. If they move now, they will surely be discovered.

A few days later, the other fifth-tier spirits went into hiding first, while the other spirits below the fifth tier began to stir one after another. Some fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep, while others, sensing the lack of yin energy, began to leave into the distance.

……

"At the very least, it's a late-stage fifth-tier monster."

Chi Huo Lu Wu's ears drooped back. The pressure emanating from the powerful being didn't mean that his mind wouldn't be affected even if he wasn't afraid; his instincts would react.

Shen Can saw it more clearly than Chi Huo Lu Wu: this monster was absorbing Yin energy everywhere and refining the dragon power within the white jade dragon horn.

Its manifestation of a dragon-shaped head is mostly due to the transformation that occurred after refining a portion of the dragon power inside the dragon horns.

The dragon horn that could benefit a late-stage fifth-tier monster must have been created by an extraordinary dragon.

The two fought a great battle, and the loser was left with only dragon horns.

Even though the dragon-headed monster had been gone for several days, Shen Can was not in a hurry to open the concealment formation.

He could simply run away from a late-stage fifth-tier monster, but in this place, the sheer power of a late-stage fifth-tier monster was enough to kill him.

He doesn't want to be excrement.

After waiting for more than two months within the concealment formation, Shen Can quietly closed it.

The underground cave is far too dangerous.

Because the dragon-headed monster swam down from upstream, its route coincided with Shen Can's return journey, making their return trip even more cautious.

When the yin energy in a certain place is completely absorbed, the yin energy in other places around it will naturally gather again, which will make the yin energy in the overall area thinner.

However, the dragon-headed monster's ability to devour was too strong, and the yin energy that floated over on its own was clearly insufficient to sustain its cultivation.

This dragon-headed monster then embarked on this 'wandering' cultivation, patrolling while absorbing the yin energy from both banks of the great river.

On the way back, they passed a place of precious herbs guarded by spirits, and Shen Can saw that the precious herbs he hadn't picked before were gone.

"It's over, that big monster took it."

Chi Huo Lu Wu was somewhat unwilling. He had been thinking of taking it back when he returned, but now it was all gone.

Under the oppressive aura of the fifth-tier great spirit, the ordinary fifth-tier spirit guarding the precious medicine immediately offered it up.

As Chi Huo Lu Wu spoke, Shen Can once again took out the Concealing Breath Formation, landed at the spot he had previously observed, and hid inside by grabbing the tiger's tail.

Three hundred miles away, a fifth-tier great monster, having swallowed the precious medicine, swam on the surface of the water, its aura surging wildly towards the white jade dragon horn.

At this moment, the dragon power on the white jade dragon horn became even more dazzling, and a roaring dragon emerged from it.

Upstream of the great river, a three-foot-long dragon, its body shrouded in a layer of water vapor, darted left and right through the mountains and forests along the riverbank.

It has three dragon toes on its underside claws, and two dragon whiskers on its lower jaw that sway.

As they walked, they tried to detect the aura of dragon power.

As they continued their pursuit, they came across a fifth-tier great monster that was exhaling and exhaling yin energy.

Huang Miao stared intently at the white jade dragon horns on the monster's back, and dragon saliva instinctively dripped from his mouth.

Even a monster that obtains the dragon horn of a dragon general can transform into the form of a dragon.

If it manages to snatch it, after refining it, it may be able to advance to the late stage of the fifth rank and open up its own water palace.

Within the Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom, there are numerous types of dragons, and the number of dragon princes is so great that you could throw a stone and find eight of them.

Without developing their own water resources, they can only become vassals and food for others.

Grab it and run!

Huang Miao steadied himself and then unleashed his claws.

The dragon's three-foot-long body stirred up the surrounding water vapor.

Its scales were jet black, yet glowed with a rosy light, radiating boundless brilliance.

Gale, torrential rain, and thunder converged beneath its dragon claws, transforming into countless wind, rain, thunder, and lightning runes that flashed towards the white jade dragon horns.

The dragon claw, covered in witchcraft, grabbed the white jade dragon horn.

Upon seeing this, Huang Miao was overjoyed.

However, the white jade dragon horn that it had grasped with its claws shattered into pieces.

In an instant, Huang Miao was startled. The witch runes hanging on the dragon claw exploded rapidly, turning into a sky full of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. It swelled to a size of five hundred feet in the wind and rain, and slammed down with one claw.

Boom!

The dragon-headed monster opened its mouth and spat out a beam of black light, instantly scattering the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning that were descending upon the town.

The collision was deafening, and a blinding light exploded from the two objects, the violent energy transforming into a hurricane that swept in all directions.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The black water surged with enormous waves, and the monsters crawling on both banks were instantly transformed into a mass of energy by the impact of the energy.

An ordinary fifth-tier spirit tried to run away, but was sent flying by the energy impact. Cracking sounds came from its body as it crashed hundreds of miles away, its body broken and bones snapped.

The dragon-headed monster was thrown into the black water waves by the energy, while Huang Miao, with a bloody hole in his belly, was also sent flying.

Click!

Three hundred miles away, violent energy swept in like a hurricane, cracking and popping Shen Can's concealment array, causing it to explode in a burst of light.

"My mom's coming, run!"

The Kui spirit was so frightened that it shrank into the Kui drum.
