Chapter 229: The Lord of Ten Thousand Feet

After a long while, the giant dragon beard worm finally emerged from the ground, flew to the cave entrance and looked at Shi Yan, "Human, follow me, our queen wants to see you."

"Queen?" Shi Yan chuckled. It must be the queen insect. He didn't expect to see the queen insect so soon. He smiled and replied, "Okay, please wait a moment. I'll be there soon." Then he turned around and said to Long Er, "You and Xiao Kong wait here for me. I'll be out soon."

Unexpectedly, Long Er refused, "No, I want to go with you, Brother Shi Yan. Wherever you go, I will go. It's boring to stay here alone. I want to go with you, Brother Shi Yan!" Shi Yan was speechless. He felt that Long Er thought he was going to play, so he said to Long Er seriously, "Long Er, it's very dangerous ahead. Please stay here and don't run. I will be back soon." But Long Er was very stubborn at the moment and refused to stay here. Shi Yan had a headache. Persuading women was what he was least good at. He had to say, "What if you encounter danger? If you encounter danger, it will be difficult for me to respond and it will cause a disaster."

Unexpectedly, Long Er proudly raised her chin, raised her pink lips, and smiled, "Don't forget, Long Er, my cultivation is not lower than yours!" Shi Yan patted his head. Look at her memory. Long Er is a cultivator above the Condensation Stage. Her cultivation is indeed not lower than his. Long Er has always looked small and pitiful, which aroused people's desire to protect her, making Shi Yan forget that she is a cultivator in the Condensation Stage. "It seems that Long Er is determined to go."

Long Er nodded heavily to indicate that it was correct.

Shi Yan pointed at the dragon beard worm and said, "I can't make the decision on this. I have to look at it."

The dragon beard worm stood up, two velvety whiskers fluttering on both sides of its face, and its slender body was about to sway. At first glance, it really looked like a dragon. People with poor eyesight might be fooled by this guy. The dragon beard worm shook its head and said, "The queen said that only he is allowed to enter." Shi Yan turned around and made a helpless expression, and turned his head with an expression of success.

Unexpectedly, Long Er refused to accept it. He looked at the dragon beard worm and asked word by word, "I can't go?"

The heavy knife at the side looked at the dragon beard worm with a look of pity, muttering in his heart, "This kid must have a problem with his eyesight. He even dared to stop..."

Just as he was speaking with great pride, a pleasant voice suddenly came to his mind, like the sound of a spring or a nightingale under a tree, clear and melodious. "Let this distinguished guest come down with us."

Shi Yan was dumbfounded, but Long Er was just the opposite, he was very happy.

"Well, since the Queen has said so, let's go together." Shi Yan had no choice but to say, "But girl, you have to remember, don't run around after you go in, stay close to me, Haoran, I will protect you, is there a passage?"

Long Er smiled sweetly, and returned to her shy girl-next-door look. She lowered her head, raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips, and smiled sweetly, "Yeah."

The group followed the dragon beard worm down, through the cave on the surface, and entered the next underground world. Behind Shi Yan, Chongdao rode on his horse, looking around vigilantly. This hell ghost general was very self-conscious and loyal to his duties. He was on guard without Shi Yan's instructions to prevent any unexpected situations. The same was true for Xiaokong. After the evolution, Xiaokong was much taller, so he naturally could not continue to sit on Shi Yan's shoulders. He was seen holding a stick and wearing golden armor at the moment, looking handsome. With two heavyweight bodyguards guarding him on the left and right, Shi Yan felt much more at ease.

In front of him was a mine, with countless red ores shining brightly. Shi Yan stared at these sparkling red ores in fascination. In his eyes, these were all spiritual stones!

"This is blood crystal!" Shi Yan said in surprise, "Blood crystal is an excellent mineral for forging? It is also a mineral neutralizer. Whether it is used as the main material to forge magic weapons, or as an auxiliary material, the products made are all fine products!"

"Do you like it?" a voice asked.

"Nonsense, who wouldn't like such a good thing!" Shi Yan nodded.

"Since you like it, I'll give you some later." The voice was like the sound of nature, making Shi Yan so excited that he was speechless.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small golden hill rising from a huge golden groove in the center of the mine. There were countless sharp golden spikes standing around the hill, and blue electric rays were entwined on the golden spikes. On the top of the hill, a woman was wearing a white chiffon dress. Her snow-white hair was so long that it was piled up high and finally fell down along her slender waist and long skirt. A pair of beautiful eyes with a little cherry red in the middle added a touch of charm to her beauty.

The giant dragon beard worm leading the way flew forward quickly, bowed its head and called out respectfully, "Queen, I have brought them here."

Shi Yan was surprised. Was this beautiful woman in front of him the queen of the thousands of dragon whisker worms? Was she also the queen worm that he wanted to subdue?

The queen nodded, "I understand. You can leave now." Then she turned to Shi Yan, but her eyes were looking behind him. Her expression changed slightly, but then it returned to normal. Shi Yan did not notice. She smiled and bowed, saying, "Welcome to my place, dear... friend." She felt the gaze coming from the front and quickly changed her words.

"Hello, Your Majesty, I am Shi Yan, and I am here to report a message." Shi Yan bowed slightly and went straight to the topic.

"Report the news?" The Queen frowned slightly, "Is what you and Qianzu said true?"

Qianzu? Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Qianzu should be the name of the giant dragon beard worm that brought him down. So he took out the mirage crystal and said, "That's right, words are not enough, Your Majesty, you should see it for yourself."

The crystal flashed, and the mirage stored in it was projected onto the rock wall. Pictures flashed on the rock wall, and the Dragon Beard Queen's brows sunk deeper and deeper. At the same time, Long Er behind Shi Yan also looked unhappy.

"This damn group of cunning and despicable humans, don't they know the importance of the dragon pillar!" After reading it, the queen was furious. She swung her slender arm violently, and a huge crack appeared on the ground. Shi Yan did not feel the fluctuation of spiritual power, which means that the crack was just the result of the dragon beard queen's casual wave, not a skill or magic. Shi Yan was dumbfounded. How could such a situation occur with just a light wave? How much power does this require?

The Dragon Beard Worm Queen looked at Shi Yan apologetically, "Of course, you are a noble human being, different from those selfish and despicable humans."

Shi Yan was sweating profusely. Although he felt a little unhappy, he was still his own kind, and now he was being told this by an alien. But Shi Yan could not refute it. Throughout history, humans are really a selfish group. For example, in the war of extinction, the army of the Great Dao creatures was already outside the gate, but we humans were still in internal strife, and finally sacrificed the Dragon God to survive in the Xuanlong Realm. And now, the dragon pillar that protects the Xuanlong Realm has been stolen by these selfish people. With these scenes in front of him, Shi Yan felt his face burning.

"First of all, I want to apologize for everything we humans have done." Shi Yan took a deep breath, "But it is not the most important thing to hold those responsible accountable right now. The most important thing right now is to check if there are any remnants of the dragon pillar."

Long Er stared at Shi Yan infatuatedly, his eyes looking very strange.

The Dragon Beard Worm Queen nodded, "Yes, let's go take a look together."

As soon as the words fell, the sky spun and the earth shook. The golden thorns beside the golden hillside retracted into the ground one by one, and the hillside shook for a while and was actually pulled out from the ground.

It turned out that the hillside was the body of the Queen Dragonbeard Worm!

A dazzling white light flashed, the hillside disappeared, and the dragon beard worm queen's pair of snow-white jade feet stretched out from her white skirt and floated in the air.

The Dragon Beard Queen laughed, "It's been a while since I transformed into a human form. I'm still a little uncomfortable with it."

"Transformed into human form..." Shi Yan felt that his brain had become dull. It took him so long to figure out one thing. "The queen insect is actually above the transformation stage!"

Long Er rolled her eyes at him and chuckled, "Of course, if someone is able to take on the important task of protecting the Dragon Pillar, how could his cultivation be low?"

It’s not that Shi Yan didn’t know, but when Shi Yan knew about the existence of dragon whisker worms, his mind was already occupied by his radio plan. He was so excited that how could he have the brain capacity to consider other things?

Shi Yan swallowed hard and murmured, "I want to recruit her for my own use. No, I want to invite her to come out of the mountains and go with me to find the missing dragon pillar!"

Long Er covered his mouth and smiled, "Brother Shi Yan has this important task in mind. I think this Wanzuzu will definitely assist you. However, it is obviously unrealistic to let her follow you out of the Dragon Cave."

Shi Yan's face was full of regret, "Of course I know."

Long Er hugged Shi Yan's arm, "My big brother Shi Yan, you are not like the you who protected me just now, and you are not like the you I know. The big brother Shi Yan I know is a good man who is responsible, confident, and knows how to protect me. He is not the dejected you now. I think if you show the real you in front of the Lord of Ten Thousand Feet, I think the Lord of Ten Thousand Feet will help you."

"real?"

"I promise you!" Long Er raised three fingers cutely and smiled playfully and mysteriously.

Shi Yan laughed, rubbed Long Er's head, and said with a smile: "Thank you for enlightening me, Long Er."

"What, you don't believe me?" Long Er said angrily.

"How could that be? I believe in Long'er very much." Although she said that, she didn't care much in her heart. After all, Long'er was just an ordinary girl, and the other side was the Lord of Wanzu. How could he be like what Long'er said?

"Hmph, you just don't believe in Long'er. Let's wait and see!" Long'er snorted lightly and flew forward towards the Queen of Dragon Whisker Insects in front of him, who was the Lord of Ten Thousand Feet in Long'er's mouth.

"Damn it, that's the Queen. If we go over there rashly, what if something dangerous happens?" Shi Yan shouted softly, but seeing that Long Er didn't react, Shi Yan had to call upon Chongdao and Xiaokong behind him to fly forward together.

Just then, they arrived at their destination. A dazzling white light made Shi Yan unable to open his eyes. After the white light passed, Shi Yan opened his eyes, but everything in front of him stunned him.
