Hua Li smiled and said, "There are arrows lying in ambush all over here, as well as these invulnerable vines. All you need to do is come in, find the switch, and turn it off."
The group exchanged glances, and Yin Han was the first to walk in.
Swish, swish, swish!
Arrows rained down on him from all directions. Hei Xiangling and Ji Jiuying joined the battle, but the group, though drunk, were not really interested in the wine; their eyes were constantly scanning their surroundings.
At this moment, Hei Xiangling exclaimed, "Watch out, something's getting close!"
The group looked and saw that it was indeed those vines. While dealing with the rain of arrows and vines, Ji Jiuying approached the edge to look for the switch. At this moment, a vine attacked from behind and she was caught off guard and tied up. Arrows rained down on her from all sides without mercy.
Yin Han's heart sank, and he quickly flashed to Ji Jiuying's side to help her block the rain of arrows. The vines in the mist surrounded the two of them, and Yin Han was clearly struggling to keep up.
"Xiangling, quickly find the mechanism," Ji Jiuying said.
"good."
With a hiss, Yin Han's arm was pierced by a hail of arrows, blood gushing out and sweat beading on his forehead, but he dared not relax for a moment, enduring the pain in his arm to protect Ji Jiuying.
Yin Han gritted his teeth, gathered his spiritual energy, and a barrier appeared, surrounding the two of them. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a cracking sound rang out.
A bad feeling crept into my heart.
With a snap, the barrier shattered, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. At that critical moment, Hei Xiangling found the switch to the mechanism and successfully pressed it. The rain of arrows and vines vanished instantly, Ji Jiuying landed steadily, and Hua Li's blue crystal also fell down. When the crystal touched the ground, it instantly turned into a puddle of water, but Hua Li inside remained completely dry.
Ji Jiuying took out gauze and bandaged Yin Han's wound, but Hua Li came over and said, "Thank you."
Yin Han frowned and said, "You're thanking the wrong person. It wasn't me who saved you."
Hua Li's gaze fell on Ji Jiuying, but in her opinion, apart from Yin Han, who had the strength, she didn't take the others seriously.
Hei Xiangling slowly walked over from behind: "Hey, this mechanism was found and activated by me... I, the young master. You should thank me."
Hua Li was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses. "Then thank you very much, young master."
Although Hua Li said that, the fleeting sarcasm in her eyes did not escape the notice of Hei Xiangling and Ji Jiuying.
Hei Xiangling was about to say something when Ji Jiuying stopped her.
With a clear expression in her eyes, Hua Li said to Yin Han, "I didn't expect you to come in too."
Hei Xiangling snorted coldly and laughed, "If we hadn't come in, you'd probably still be hanging up there on those vines!"
"you."
Hua Li frowned, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes. This young man's repeated rudeness was truly an eyesore, yet Yin Han remained unmoved, even claiming that the young man was also a member of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace.
Thinking of this, Hua Li dismissed the idea. Impossible. She knew all the high-ranking people in the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, but she had never seen this young man before.
Seeing that something was off between the two, Yin Han quickly said, "Didn't you say you were looking for Qinglong? Then let's hurry up and leave."
The two snorted and walked forward separately. After walking about thirty meters, a huge pool appeared in front of them.
The pool was filled with white mist, but everyone could still clearly see the enormous creature inside – a green dragon made of stone.
A look of surprise flashed in Hua Li's eyes, "This is the pool where the Azure Dragon resides."
Several small beasts in the space looked into the pool through the space. Xuanwu said in confusion, "Master, the aura of the Azure Dragon here is so strong, but there is no trace of the Azure Dragon in this pool."
Ji Jiuying frowned upon hearing this, her gaze falling on the stone dragon in the pool: "Is that stone fake too?"
Xiao Huang'er and Xuanwu nodded. Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes. Could it be that Qinglong wasn't here?
Hei Xiangling also began to feel confused, and whispered in Ji Jiuying's ear, "Girl, although there is a strong aura of the Azure Dragon here, I can guarantee that there is no Azure Dragon in this pool."
Ji Jiuying looked around. She was surrounded by tall rocks and there was no other way. But the aura of the Azure Dragon was so strong here, and with the obvious shadow in the pool, she suddenly felt that this place was being used as an illusion.
The dense aura might indicate that the real Azure Dragon is also here, but they just can't see it.
Hua Li took out the Azure Dragon Ode and cast a spell on it. Instantly, the Azure Dragon totem emitted a golden light, magnified in front of the group, and finally covered the pool.
Suddenly, the earth trembled violently, and the horned dragons far away in Dragon Valley immediately became alert. This was... a commotion coming from the forbidden area. Could it be that they had reached the center of the forbidden area? A bad premonition rose within them.
Feng Che, who was leaning against the coral, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. A look of worry appeared in his eyes. He wanted to leave, but his gaze fell on Feng Qingxue. He sighed. He had to believe in Xiao Jiu.
——
After the violent shaking, an ancient pressure instantly assaulted everyone. Hua Li and Yin Han immediately knelt on the ground and coughed up blood, while Hei Xiangling and Ji Jiuying stood unharmed behind them.
Excitement flashed in Hua Li's eyes. She had succeeded! She had succeeded! But her gaze fell on Hei Xiangling and Ji Jiuying, and she was immediately stunned. How could the two of them be unharmed? Even her master would probably be injured by the ancient dragon's pressure. How could the two of them, with their weak spiritual power, be unharmed!
Disbelief flashed in Hua Li's eyes, and finally her gaze fell on Ji Jiuying. She remembered what happened at the Dragon Palace gate. Those stone men didn't attack him, and now he was completely unaffected by the Azure Dragon's pressure. They had secrets. Thinking of this, the excitement in her eyes disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, the horned dragon felt the pressure from the azure dragon. Its lantern-sized eyes flashed with terror, and its body instantly went limp to the ground. What on earth had those humans done in the forbidden area?
Feng Qingxue and Feng Che were also forced to vomit blood by this oppressive force. Feng Qingxue frowned, a trickle of bright red blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she let out a soft moan.
Feng Che turned around and looked at Feng Qingxue, who seemed to be showing signs of going astray. He frowned and quickly came behind her to protect her.
——
At this moment, a dragon's roar resounded, like thunder, seemingly piercing everyone's eardrums. Immediately afterwards, wisps of white mist spread out from the cracks in the rocks.
More and more mist slowly engulfed their bodies. Ji Jiuying frowned, realizing something was wrong, and waved her hand to put the Black Fragrant Feather into her spatial storage.
Surrounded by thick white fog, so thick that one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face, Ji Jiuying cautiously surveyed her surroundings.
