Chapter 140 Gu Long’s heart, Joey’s bloodline transformation!
After solving the dragon turtle guarding the black stone vein, the process of obtaining [Black Stone Essence] became extremely smooth.
Not long after, Xia En filled a bottle of [Black Stone Essence].
Different from solid black stone, the [Black Stone Essence] located at the core of the vein is actually a viscous, dark liquid with a deep luster.
This kind of potion material actually releases the secret power that dries up living things every moment.
Therefore, special containers must be used to hold them.
Fortunately, Xia En had made preparations before and asked for the isolation stone bottle from the Queen of the Sea Tribe, which happened to be used at this moment.
Looking at the [Crimson Reality] in the [Ring of Apocalypse], the bottled [Black Stone Essence], and the [Celestial Star Sea Star] in the box.
Xia En couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and raised the corners of his mouth.
“Finally, I got together the magic potion to advance to the third level.”
"Next, as long as the career compatibility is maxed out, you can try to be promoted!"
"Calculating the time, it should take three or four days."
No wonder Xia En is a little bit Excitement and anticipation.
After all, that is the third-level secret pather!
A third-level secret path practitioner can be regarded as a powerful man with a strong reputation in Qihai.
Off the coast, the Archon of an island is only a third-level person, from which we can also see the status of a third-level Mystic Pathfinder.
Xia En has already reached the threshold of the third level in less than half a year since he traveled through time.
If this kind of deeds spread, I don’t know how many people would be shocked.
“Take advantage of this time to explore this island again and let Joey complete the transformation of his bloodline.”
After making the plan, Xia En walked out of the depths of the mine. However, he saw several monkey monsters standing on both sides of the valley, looking around.
"Huh?"
Xia En protected Joey Hexiange behind him and looked at the monkey monsters with some vigilance.
At this time, the leader of the monkey monster noticed their figure, screamed, and ran over with all four limbs at the same time.
Xia En thought they were here to seek revenge.
When I was about to go on a killing spree to earn some experience points, I realized that the monkey monster headed by me seemed a bit familiar.
"Isn't this the guy I just let go?"
"It wants revenge, or..."
After hesitating, Xia En still didn't take action directly.
With his strength, there is no big problem in dealing with these dragon-turned-monkey monsters. It is better to see what the other party wants to do.
“Gahwu…Gahwu!”
After arriving at Xia En, the monkey monster pointed at the dragon turtle corpse not far away, then pointed at Xia En, and started dancing and shouting.
As a result, other monkey monsters also rushed over, jumping and screaming around Xia En.
Some monkey monsters even knelt down beside him, looking respectful and worshipful.
Judging from their attitudes, not only is there not much hostility, but there is also a sense of gratitude?
After a rather difficult exchange, Xia En finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
"Is this big guy a scourge to your tribe?"
"You have to send fellow tribesmen as sacrifices every once in a while, otherwise it will attack your territory?"
"Wait a minute , you want to invite me to be the king of your tribe?”
“Gahwu!”
The monkey monster nodded heavily and looked at Xia En with awe and expectation.
A primitive tribe like them has always followed the rule that the strong is king.
Although I don’t know why the people of the same species in front of me don’t have scales or hair.
But whether it was the coercion he exuded or his record of killing the terrifying dragon turtle, it was enough to prove how powerful the opponent was.
It is natural to be the king of the tribe.
Xia En had a strange expression.
He didn't forget that he had just killed a group of monkey monsters not long ago, and he didn't know whether these guys were unaware or didn't care.
However, Xia En has always been merciless when dealing with enemies who actively attack him.
But the monkey monsters showed such an attitude that it was hard for him to kill them.
Soon, Xia En rejected the request to become the Monkey King.
But under the kind invitation of the monkey monsters, the group came to the territory where they live.
This is a very primitive village. The monkey monsters live in wooden houses built in the trees. The furnishings in the village are quite simple, but at least there are some prototypes of primitive tools.
Seeing the arrival of the outsiders, the monkey monsters poked their heads out from the branches and looked curiously at the combination of two people and one dragon.
“Gahwuwu!”
The monkey monster that led the way earlier called out to his fellow humans several times, as if explaining the situation to them.
Subsequently, the other monkeys also shouted in surprise, looking at Xia En with awe and gratitude in their eyes.
Some monkey monsters also took out the picked wild fruits and presented them to Xia En.
At this moment, Xia En realized that this group of monkey monsters did not seem to be the same group as the monkey monsters that attacked him before?
They are not that aggressive, their character is not too violent, and they can even conduct simple communication.
“What’s going on?”
Xia En was a little surprised.
Judging from the description of the previous trophies, creatures contaminated by the blood of the profane dragon will become manic and irritable.
Not only do they have strong hostility towards outsiders, but they also fight among themselves.
The behavior of these dragon-turned-monkey monsters is obviously abnormal.
At this moment, Joey's eyes suddenly fell in one direction of the village, he raised his finger and pointed there, saying in surprise.
"Mr. Captain, look, look!"
Shane looked along her fingertips.
I saw, hidden among the dense vegetation, a small pond with crystal clear water.
And in the pond, there stands a statue as tall as one person!
The statue is obviously carved of a woman. She has a graceful figure, her head is covered with gauze, and a long skirt depicting many wave ripples hangs down.
Although the surface of the statue has been mottled and worn by the years, there are still many fine cracks.
She still carries an indescribable sense of holiness and presence.
As long as you look at the statue, you can feel a vague feeling of being washed and sheltered.
“This is... the Storm Goddess Statue?!”
Xia En’s heart skipped a beat.
He once got a small statue of the goddess, so he could see the true identity of the statue at a glance.
However, Xia En also quickly discerned that there was one obvious difference between this and the Storm Goddess statue in his impression -
The lower body of the goddess statue did not have human feet.
But a scaly fish tail like a siren!
"Sure enough, the Storm Goddess's siren theory is not groundless, but most likely the truth!"
Seeing this scene, the thoughts in Xia En's mind began to spin rapidly.
"Perhaps in the earliest times, the statues of the Storm Goddess were all in this state of human body and fish tail."
"And the later ones...may be believers of the Deep Sea Church, or other forces, in order to cover up The truth of history changed the statue into its current appearance."
It is not difficult to guess that the reason why the dragon-turned-monkey monster of this tribe did not become violent like other creatures on the island is. The protection of this goddess statue.
But the question is...
Why does this statue appear here?
Xia En looked at the smartest monkey monster from before, pointed at the Statue of the Storm Goddess, and tried hard to express what he meant.
“Gah?”
In the end, I don’t know if the monkey monster understood it. It thought for a moment, seemed to have made some kind of determination, turned around and walked towards the forest.
Xia En did not hesitate and followed behind the monkey monster with Joey and Xian Song.
This time, the monkey monster led the way with extra caution, as if he was afraid of disturbing some powerful being.
Xia En soon discovered that their route was exactly the direction leading deep into the island.
The surrounding woods are becoming more and more dense and tall.
The mountain road at the foot became steeper and seemed a bit rugged.
Several existences with powerful auras were wandering and patrolling in the mountains and forests not far away, exuding a faint pressure.
at the same time.
Even Xia En could smell it. There was an ancient, rusty smell of blood in the air.
This bloody smell contains the secret power of the ancient dragon, but there is also a strange and evil feeling that makes people instinctively feel uncomfortable.
After seeing the corpse of a dragon turtle covered with [Eye of Truth], Xia En has understood that this feeling of discomfort comes from the so-called "blasphemy of truth."
"Where does this little monkey want to take us?"
Xia En frowned slightly, but out of trust in the monkey monster's previous actions, he chose to continue to follow.
The strange thing is that although the powerful aura not far away from the forest is increasing, the group of people miraculously has not been attacked.
Xia En guessed that this was related to the path chosen by the monkey monster.
This forest path leading to the high mountains seems to be located at the border of the territory of dragon evil creatures.
These creatures were afraid of and wary of each other, so they did not attack Xia En and others.
In other words, only the local monkey monsters can lead the way to know such a "safe passage."
If Xia En were to explore by himself, he would probably have to fight his way out.
……
……
We walked through the mountains and forests for an hour.
Xia En and others were already at the high point of the mountain range. Looking back, they could see the dense woods below them.
If it weren’t for the fog, I might even be able to see the [Black Swan] on the coast.
At this time, everyone has reached the end of the mountain road.
Xia En looked forward intently.
Ahead, there is a platform on the top of the mountain.
The center of the platform is sunken downwards, forming a wide lake.
——This kind of topography is quite similar to Tianchi in the previous life.
However, unlike Tianchi, the color of this lake is dark red!
Everything you see is blood that smells like blood!
"Woo woo..."
Coming here, the monkey monster seemed to feel discomfort and fear instinctively. His body trembled slightly and pointed in the direction of the center of the lake.
Xia En looked up, his breathing stagnating slightly.
In the bloody lake, a huge dragon-shaped skeleton was standing there.
Even though there was no flesh and blood, even though it had been dead for a long time, the moment he saw it, Xia En still felt a kind of coercion coming from the depths of his blood.
In a trance, he seemed to see a terrifying giant dragon, staring at him with its cold vertical pupils, and making an earth-shattering roar!
roar!
Suddenly, a childish but equally majestic dragon roar sounded, dispersing the illusion in front of Xia En's eyes.
He turned around and saw Xian Ge, who was usually unreliable, suspended in mid-air, his wings flapping slightly.
The scales on its body shimmered with a faint light, as if it were covered with a layer of magical armor, and the ancient power was revealed on its body.
The eyes seemed to be burning with bronze flames, and they expanded with a majesty that was not inferior to the bones of ancient dragons.
"A member of the same race I have never met before, I am the bronze dragon, Xian Ge Maya!"
"I am here to free you!"
Perhaps the remaining consciousness of the ancient dragon understood Xian Ge's words .
Perhaps it was Xian Ge's dragon power that overwhelmed the corpse, and Xia En and Joey suddenly felt the pressure was relieved.
At this time, Xia En could also see that there were statues of the Storm Goddess one after another in the bloody lake.
Some of them were lying horizontally in the lake, and some were leaning forward.
Some bodies were broken into stones, while others still maintained their intact form.
So many broken statues of gods add an indescribably weird atmosphere to this blood lake, like a solemn cemetery or the scene of some evil ritual.
Obviously, the goddess statue in the monkey tribe came from this bloody lake.
But the problem is still the same.
Why do these statues of gods exist here?
"Mr. Captain."
Suddenly, Joey frowned slightly and said hesitantly and confusedly.
"I heard... something was calling me in the center of the lake."
"Huh?"
Xia En frowned slightly.
He noticed that the aura on Joey's body was a little restless, and the secret power in his body was slightly escaping.
Looking carefully, there is a faint blue halo flowing in the girl's red pupils, and some scales emerge from her body surface.
Xia En suddenly realized: "This bloody lake is the ancestral land mentioned by the sirens!"
The numerous storm goddess statues here may also be related to the one of the sirens! It’s about the ancestors!
As for the blood in the lake, it comes from the ancient dragon that died here.
But the ancient dragon happened to fall in the ancestral land of the Kraken. Is this really just a simple coincidence?
Xia En was skeptical.
But now that we are all here, there is no reason to back down.
After stopping for a moment, Xia En watched the monkey monster disappear, and then cautiously moved towards the depths of the lake.
The blood-colored lake is not deep, but it is unrealistic to walk across it on foot.
Xia En simply used the [Secret Technique of Blood Modeling] of [Power of Blood] to shape a medium-sized blood raft, and then rowed it towards the center of the lake.
Being on the blood lake, Xia En could more clearly sense the filthy and blasphemous smell.
If he guessed correctly, it was the water from this blood lake that flowed down the mountain, polluting the water sources in the nearby mountains, causing the creatures on the island to mutate.
In fact, there are many dangerous dragon-shaped creatures hidden not only under the mountains, but also in the blood lake.
Xia En could sense that there were many malicious peeks coming from all directions.
But this time, Xian Ge was reliable for the first time in a long time.
The majesty of the ancient dragon exudes makes those dragon-shaped creatures dare not approach.
Not long after, they arrived on the raft to the center of the lake, where there was a small platform.
A particularly tall goddess statue is located on a high platform.
And from her body, there was deep red blood dripping down the hem of her skirt and falling into the lake below.
The blood comes from the palm of the goddess statue.
There lies a huge, still beating heart!
“Is this?”
Xia En was shocked, but he hadn’t yet figured out the reason behind it.
The next moment.
Joy beside him had already walked under the statue of the goddess, and the illusive and blurry sound of the waves came from very far away.
A sacred, non-mortal gaze fell on the girl!
