After completing the task, Xie Zhou happily put the parchment into her storage space. However, the system did not send any information about the completion of the task, which puzzled Xie Zhou. She frowned and asked the system.
"System, I said I've already completed the task, so why didn't I hear any notification?"
The system then replied, "Perhaps we'll have to wait a while longer!"
"oh…"
Xie Zhou gave a perfunctory reply.
Suddenly, Xie Zhou sensed another enormous monstrous aura around the formation.
Xie Zhou felt a sharp pain in his mental energy, realizing that the monster that appeared this time was not something that could be easily dealt with. Moreover, its aura was similar to that of the Mountain-Moving Ape, but even more powerful. Xie Zhou was momentarily tense.
She released her spiritual power, which covered the entire formation like a large net. She wanted to see what would come out.
Xie Zhou took a few steps back and looked around. She found that this huge aura was somewhat different. It seemed to be caused by the condensation of many smaller auras. It was a huge monster aura, and this idea was soon confirmed.
They discovered that many monsters had appeared around the formation. These monsters were covered in bloody energy, and they seemed to have suddenly emerged from the ground like demons and monsters. Xie Zhou was startled when she saw these faceless monsters.
It felt like I was in the underworld, and those vengeful ghosts were coming for me.
Xie Zhou assumed a defensive stance, holding the Peerless Sword tightly to the hilt as she fought the monsters. However, the monsters seemed to have undergone military training, raising their hands in unison and unleashing countless attacks upon Xie Zhou.
She watched as a dozen or so blood-red balloons hurtled towards her. Xie Zhou quickly raised his Peerless Sword in front of him, silently chanting an incantation and channeling his spiritual power into it. The sword's shape expanded continuously, blocking some of the blood-red balloons.
However, the impact of the blood balloon caused Xie Zhou to keep retreating, leaving scratches on the ground.
Seeing this, she increased her mental power once again, and when she had a spare moment, she instantly split the Peerless Sword into more than a dozen swords to continuously attack the monsters.
However, she was ultimately outnumbered and could not continue to attack, so she fought and retreated.
With the help of these attacks, Xie Zhou's strength was constantly being depleted, and she escaped to the deepest part of the ancient battlefield of gods and demons.
Seeing that the monsters had stopped chasing her, Xie Zhou felt much more relaxed. She put away her Peerless Sword, panting, and then casually found a place to sit down.
She then fanned herself with her hand, feeling extremely tired. She noticed beads of sweat on her forehead and said, "How can these things have so much stamina? They keep chasing me, it's so annoying. But where am I?"
Xie Zhou's escape was completely unconscious; she only knew there was an exit, so she ran inside.
At this moment, the system prompted: "Host, you have arrived at the deepest part of the ancient battlefield of gods and demons."
Xie Zhou immediately got up to observe his surroundings and see what was there. As he walked, Xie Zhou saw a coffin hanging in the air by chains, and there were indeed many animal-shaped stone statues around it.
Moreover, Xie Zhou could see that the patterns on the coffin were very ornate, and it was covered with a lot of moss.
Xie Zhou arrived in front of the coffin and looked at the coffin carved with the image of a blue dragon.
The system then said, "Host, this is the coffin of the ancient magical beast Azure Dragon."
"The Azure Dragon from Warcraft?"
Xie Zhou became interested and walked around the coffin of the Azure Dragon, her hands following the patterns on the coffin as she slowly explored it.
But suddenly Xie Zhou felt a dent in the ground beneath his hand, and by sheer coincidence, he had triggered a mechanism.
The coffin was changing, and the surrounding iron chains were rattling.
"Clang, clang..."
After a series of sounds, Xie Zhou arrived inside the coffin of the ancient magical beast, the Brothel.
Looking at the pile of dark blue stones around him, the surroundings were exactly the same as before, completely empty, without even a trace of a person. Xie Zhou could hardly believe that the world inside the Azure Dragon Coffin was truly too desolate, with dark stones scattered all around.
Xie Zhou looked around and muttered, "This place exudes a sense of deathly stillness and heaviness."
She thought she could find the Azure Dragon here, but found that it wasn't here at all. Did she need to summon it herself? But the Azure Dragon was dead, and even if its own consciousness still existed, she couldn't summon it.
Perhaps, just like last time, some mechanism will need to be triggered before the divine consciousness of the Azure Dragon can appear.
At this moment, the system reminded Xie Zhou, "The Azure Dragon is different from other divine beasts. Their world is built from certain desires, so it's understandable that this place has become like this. However, why would the Azure Dragon allow you to enter its space? It's really abnormal."
The system's words made Chou Chou feel a little confused. She thought that if what the system said was true, then all the accidents she had encountered along the way were very likely the work of the Azure Dragon, the magical beast, which was why she had come to its tomb.
Xie Zhou then tentatively shouted into the void, "Is anyone there? Azure Dragon? Azure Dragon?..."
With no one responding, Xie Zhou gave up and began to wander around the space at will.
After walking for a while, Xie Zhou saw that there was no movement here, so she decided to look for a way to leave this space.
Suddenly, a voice with a feminine quality came over.
"Please don't leave, benefactor!"
"Stay here... It's been a long time since I've seen anyone come here. Finally, there's a hint of human presence here. I am Azure Dragon, one of the Lords of the Demonic Beasts. You mortals, why don't you quickly salute me!"
Just moments ago, Qinglong was speaking with a joking smile, but unexpectedly, he turned serious afterwards.
Xie Zhou was almost startled by the sudden sound, and then he bowed slightly as the Azure Dragon had instructed.
After all, he didn't know whether the Azure Dragon was friend or foe. If he angered it, he would be on its territory and could be dealt with in no time.
Seeing her politeness, Qinglong appeared in front of her.
A pair of boots adorned with cloud-patterned decorations appeared before Xie Zhou. Following the hem of the cyan cloak, she saw a face that resembled neither a demon nor a monster, with cyan scales peeking out from the forehead and a pair of horns on the head. The person was tall and elegant, with an extraordinary air about them.
