I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 551 Penglai Islands

"Tianlong, this matter..."

Just as Tianlong was about to continue, Shishu, who had been wary of Jiang Yuan, interrupted him.

"The path to godhood is just a legend; we don't need to waste our time on it! Our goal this time is simply the elixir of immortality and the legacy of the ancient Qi cultivators!" the Rat-Eating Smile said with a forced smile.

Although Tianlong was somewhat displeased at being interrupted, he understood the meaning behind Shishu's words. Before the cataclysm, this would have been just a joke, but after the cataclysm, this news alone would attract the covetousness of all parties, not only the human race, but also the incomparably powerful Holy Spirit race. This in itself was a fuse for disaster, and the fewer people who knew, the safer they would be.

"The path to godhood is just a legend!" Tianlong repeated, then solemnly added, "The more important purpose of this trip to the ruins is to inherit the legacy of the ancient Qi cultivators. Furthermore, the ruins contain books that can unlock some of the secrets of the catastrophe, something that the human race must obtain."

"Dragon Master, we're almost at Penglai Islands! Shall we descend now?" Sleepy Sheep's voice came through the loudspeaker.

"Release the drone swarm, prepare to land in three minutes!"

Tianlong quickly issued the order, and several drones with wingspans of several meters flew out from the tail of the aircraft. These drones not only played a reconnaissance role, but also shouldered the mission of covering the main aircraft in critical moments. If a powerful monster appeared, these drones would be the most effective guarantee for their landing.

The cabin was completely silent. Tianlong and the others were waiting to land, while Jiang Yuan was pondering what kind of opportunity might exist within this so-called ruin.

The elixir of immortality? Or perhaps the ambiguous path to godhood mentioned by Tianlong?

Despite his many thoughts, Jiang Yuan finally made up his mind. No matter what opportunities came his way, the safety of Ning Yanlan and the others was the most important thing. As long as they were alive, no opportunity mattered.

As the plane began its descent, Jiang Yuan could see the previously calm sea gradually boiling as it descended from the clouds, with all sorts of aquatic monsters leaping out of the water, seemingly fighting over something.

"Hey, are you nervous?" Yu Tu gently nudged Jiang Yuan's arm with her elbow.

"Are you asking me?" Jiang Yuan asked calmly.

Yu Tu looked helpless upon seeing this, "That's right, someone as abnormal as you wouldn't be afraid even if surrounded by thousands of beasts, so why would you be nervous!"

"Do you come here often?" Jiang Yuan asked, pointing downwards.

Yu Tu frowned, spread his hands, and said, "I don't come here very often! I came here once before the cataclysm, but at that time there were only the Penglai Islands, and I didn't find Penglai Island, which hides ancient ruins! If it weren't for the cataclysm, I think Penglai Island might never have appeared in the eyes of the world."

"So, you used to be in the military too?" Jiang Yuan asked with a hint of doubt in his voice.

"What, doesn't it look like it?" Yu Tu was furious. What kind of eyesight did this guy have?

"It really doesn't look like it!" Jiang Yuan had nothing to hide, so he said it directly.

"Don't judge me by my previous appearance, it was just my body's instinctive reaction, so don't blame me!" Yu Tu said guiltily, then added indignantly, "Besides, I only looked casual, I wasn't really casual."

"So, stay away from me! I have instincts too, and if I hurt you, don't blame me." Jiang Yuan stepped back, and in just a few words, the lustful rabbit got closer and closer. He now understood why Tianlong Suma and the others called her the little demoness.

Yu Tu gave an awkward smile and quickly took a few steps back. Ever since she activated her talent, she had become increasingly unable to control her behavior, but she could swear that it was not something she wanted to do, but just pure instinct!

The screeching sound, drawn out to the point of being ear-piercing, was everywhere, but the people in the cabin were not bothered at all; on the contrary, they all looked relieved.

"What great luck! We didn't encounter a single monster!" The Rabbit was beaming with joy, but her laughter carried a seductive quality that left the other Zodiac members speechless.

"We were really lucky!" Tianlong nodded.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tu's smile deepened, and she said, "Of course! Didn't you know that girls who smile a lot are always lucky?"

"If she can still laugh despite her bad luck, then she's probably not a cheerful person!" Jiang Yuan gave her a knowing look.

"Haha, she might just be a lovesick fool!" Suma immediately chimed in.

Yu Tu: "Su Ma, are you in such a hurry to take Mom here?"

"Stop fooling around, let's get off the plane first and not keep the Xu family waiting!" Tianlong was used to the bickering of the group, so he didn't take it seriously. However, this time the Xu family from Haicheng had joined them. The trip was already delayed because of the Holy Spirit Pavilion, and it wouldn't be good to keep them waiting any longer.

The group disembarked one after another, and Jiang Yuan followed. Once on land, he felt a long-lost sense of security. Sailing at sea inherently gives one a sense of loneliness, not to mention that the ocean is now full of mysterious and powerful sea monsters. This feeling of apprehension cannot be ignored.

A salty sea breeze blew in their face. Jiang Yuan looked into the distance. The place where they landed was an island of more than ten square kilometers. Not far from the island, there were faint green lights. Clearly, there was more than one island here.

"There are many islands in the Penglai Islands, but only four are truly large islands, and our target this time is the fifth island!" Tianlong told Jiang Yuan as they walked, introducing the Penglai Islands to him.

"There are only four large islands, so why do we need to go to a fifth island? Could it be that these ancient ruins are on some other small island?" Jiang Yuan asked, puzzled.

“No, the Fifth Island is also a large island! It’s just that this island rose to the surface after the cataclysm and has never appeared before the world before! Of course, even now, the Fifth Island of Penglai will not easily appear before ordinary people,” Tianlong explained.

"So, it's because of his talent?" Jiang Yuan turned his gaze to the sniffing dog. The sniffing dog had been in a state of overflowing energy since it got off the plane, a state that only occurs when fighting at full strength.

Tianlong nodded, but he had no intention of revealing the dog-sniffing talent to the public. After all, everyone's talent is the foundation for survival in this chaotic world. As a team, it would be extremely detrimental to the Zodiac team to expose the secrets of any member.

Jiang Yuan smiled faintly upon seeing this. The sniffing dog's talent had long been detected by the Heavenly Eye. It was a high-level auxiliary talent called "Tracing Across Thousands of Miles." It was because of "Tracing Across Thousands of Miles" that the sniffing dog was able to find Shangguan Ya's location by relying on her scent, thus determining the true location of Penglai Island.

"Tianlong, your Zodiac Squad has quite the airs, actually making the Xu family wait for you. You're really getting more and more disrespectful to the Xu family!"
