Gods: Start with Goblins

.But they also believe that as long as they unite as one,
If you keep going forward, you will be able to overcome all difficulties.
Achieve your dreams and goals.

"No way, he could survive after self-detonating, and he escaped without dying? How is this possible!"

Pei Sheng had an unbelievable look on his face, with anxiety and confusion flashing in his eyes. He hurried forward to catch up,

But he was stopped by Luo Dan.

Luo Dan looked solemn, but his tone was unusually calm:
"Why are you in such a hurry? Nothing has happened yet. We don't have to rush."

Pei Sheng stamped his feet anxiously:
"But if he runs away, it will be difficult for us to find him again!"

Luo Dan shook his head gently and looked into the distance with deep eyes: "Don't worry, he can't run far.

Moreover, look at that guy, no matter how strong he is, he is just that strong. The reason why he was able to escape after the self-destruction was entirely because he used a secret method. "

"Secret method?" Pei Sheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "So that's why he was able to survive. But, this secret method must have some side effects, right?"

Luo Dan narrowed his eyes, a glimmer of wisdom flashed in his eyes: "Yes, you asked the key point. Although this secret method is powerful, the backlash effect will be even more severe if it is used forcibly. I guess he is suffering from the backlash of the secret method now."

Pei Sheng felt a little relieved when he heard this, but he was still a little worried: "What should we do now? We can't just watch him run away, right?"

Luo Dan smiled and said confidently, "Don't worry, he can't escape. I have sensed his presence, and he has hidden in a nearby cave. Let's go over there now and see how long he can hold on."

After that, Luo Dan took Pei Sheng and Jiaolong and quickly rushed towards the cave. Along the way, they passed through dense forests, crossed the turbulent stream, and finally arrived in front of the cave.

Outside the cave, Luo Dan stopped and concentrated on sensing the atmosphere in the cave. His brows were furrowed, as if he sensed something unusual.

"The situation inside is a bit complicated, we have to be careful." Luo Dan reminded in a low voice.

Pei Sheng nodded, holding the sword tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any emergency at any time. The dragon hovered nearby, making a low roar, as if preparing for the upcoming battle.

They entered the cave carefully and went deeper along the winding passage. It was dark inside the cave, with only the torches in their hands lighting the way ahead.

After walking for a long time, they finally came to the depths of the cave. They saw a figure curled up in the corner. It was the man who had escaped by self-detonation. He was pale and weak, and was obviously suffering from the backlash of the secret technique.

"Hmph, you are hiding here indeed." Luo Dan snorted coldly and walked forward.

The man heard the sound and raised his head with difficulty, with a trace of fear and despair in his eyes. He knew that he had nowhere to escape and could only silently wait for the judgment of fate.

Luo Dan looked at the man and spoke slowly: "You used a secret method to self-destruct and escape. Now the backlash is too much for you to bear, right? I advise you to surrender obediently. Perhaps you can suffer less."

The man gritted his teeth, holding back the pain and said, "I...I will never give in to you!"

Luo Dan sneered: "Humph, you are stubborn. How long do you think you can hold on? The backlash of the secret technique will only become stronger and stronger, and you will eventually be devoured by your own power."

After saying that, Luo Dan took out a pill from his arms and handed it to the man: "This is a pill to strengthen your vitality. It can temporarily relieve your pain. However, if you still insist on your wrongdoing, I will not show mercy anymore."

The man looked at the pill in front of him, hesitating. He knew that if he took the pill, it might temporarily relieve the pain, but it would also mean that he would have to surrender to Luo Dan.

However, under the severe pain, he finally chose to compromise. He took the pill with trembling hands and swallowed it in one gulp. The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm current flowed through his body, and the pain seemed to be relieved a lot.

Luo Dan watched the man's transformation, feeling proud in his heart. He knew that he had taken the initiative. Pei Sheng sighed, "I didn't expect the backlash of the secret technique to be so fierce. Fortunately, Luo Dan, you were prepared."

Luo Dan smiled slightly: "Of course. I sensed that he used a secret method before, so I specially prepared this pill. However, this is only a temporary relief, and the real pain is still to come."

After saying that, Luo Dan turned and looked at Jiao Long: "Watch him, don't let him run away. If he makes any unusual movements, notify me immediately."

The dragon nodded, and its huge body coiled around the man, staring at him vigilantly. It knew that if the man ran away, it, a spirit beast, would also be implicated. Therefore, it had to make sure that the man would not leave its sight. The man sat on the ground silently, his heart filled with helplessness and despair. He knew that he had lost his freedom and became a captive of Luodan. However, he was not willing to succumb to fate. He secretly swore in his heart that he must find a chance to escape this cage and regain his freedom.

In the following days, the man spent his time under the surveillance of Luo Dan and Pei Sheng. They were always vigilant about his movements to prevent him from escaping or doing other dangerous things. The man silently endured the pain of the backlash of the secret method and the torment of imprisonment.

However, as time went by, Luo Dan and Pei Sheng gradually discovered the secrets and potential of the man. They began to re-examine this man, perhaps he was not a simple character...

"What are you still dawdling about here? Don't you have the blood of a dragon? Give me some quickly so I can use it to consolidate my strength. During this time, I plan to rest and recover my strength on the edge of this monster forest. There are many monsters nearby, and you, as a descendant of a dragon, have a natural blood suppression against them. Go and take care of some of them, and by the way, find some spiritual treasures from heaven and earth to help me heal my wounds." The man spoke hurriedly while looking around vigilantly. After confirming that Luodan had not caught up with him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He fled to the edge of the monster forest, leaned against a huge old tree, and gasped. Sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the soil, which was out of tune with the tense atmosphere around him. There was both relief and anxiety in his eyes. He was relieved that he had temporarily escaped from Lordan's pursuit, and he was anxious about the unknown and dangers in the future.

"Okay, I'll go right away." The dragon's voice rang in the man's mind, with a hint of helplessness but also determination. It slowly stretched out its huge claws and gently scratched its scales. A drop of crystal clear blood containing powerful power slowly dripped down and was carefully caught by the man.

For the dragon, this blood essence is precious, but it increases every year, so this loss is nothing to it. Moreover, it has a special connection with the man, which makes it willing to lend a helping hand at the critical moment.

The man took the blood essence and immediately swallowed it. Suddenly, a warm and powerful force surged in his body, and began to repair his damaged meridians and internal organs. He closed his eyes, immersed in the comfort brought by this power, and silently thanked the dragon for its help.

At the same time, after Luo Dan dealt with the man, he turned and looked at Elder Tianji who was not far away. Elder Tianji's face twitched, and his eyes revealed deep doubts and uneasiness. He doubted the real purpose of Luo Dan's trip, whether it was really to hunt down the man, or whether he was actually coming for him.

"Luodan, you...what do you want to do?" Elder Tianji's voice trembled a little. He tried to read the answer from Luodan's eyes, but only saw depth and indifference.

------

Luo Dan smiled slightly, his tone was calm but with unquestionable majesty: "Elder Tianji, you worry too much. I am only here to hunt down the fugitive, it has nothing to do with you. However, since you are here, you might as well do me a favor. There are many treasures hidden in this monster forest. If you can help me find some, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

Elder Tianji was relieved when he heard this. Although he still had reservations about Luo Dan's words, at least for now, Luo Dan did not have any hostility towards him. So he nodded and reluctantly agreed: "Okay, I will do my best. However, this Monster Forest is full of dangers, so you have to be careful."

Luo Dan nodded to express his gratitude. Then, he turned and looked into the depths of the Monster Forest, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. He knew that there were countless dangers and opportunities hidden in this forest, and he came here for these opportunities.

In the following days, the man rested at the edge of the Monster Forest, and quickly recovered his strength with the help of the dragon's blood. The dragon often went out, relying on its blood suppression of monsters, easily eliminated some powerful monsters, and brought back some precious treasures for the man to heal his wounds.

Luo Dan and Elder Tian Ji began to search for the treasures of heaven and earth in the Warcraft Forest. They encountered various dangers and challenges, but also gained a lot. Whenever night fell, they would return to where the man was and share their gains and experiences with each other.

As time went by, the man gradually recovered his strength, and Luo Dan and Elder Tianji also found a lot of precious treasures of heaven and earth. The relationship between them also quietly changed in the process, from initial suspicion and vigilance to tacit understanding and trust later.

However, just as they were about to leave the Magic Forest, a sudden crisis broke the peace. A group of powerful magic beasts suddenly attacked them, intending to snatch the treasures of heaven and earth from them.

Faced with this group of crazy monsters, the man, Luo Dan and Elder Tianji had to join forces to fight. Relying on their own strength and wisdom, they fought fiercely with the monsters. In the end, after paying a huge price, they successfully repelled the attack of the monsters and protected the heaven and earth treasures in their hands.

After this crisis, they realized the importance of each other more deeply. They knew that only by uniting as one can they survive in this dangerous monster forest. So they decided to continue to move forward hand in hand, explore this mysterious forest together, and find more opportunities and challenges.

Pei Sheng stood beside Luo Dan, the sunlight shone through the sparse leaves, and his face was mottled. The corners of his mouth could not help but rise, outlining a proud arc. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes flashed with confidence and provocation. He looked directly at the elder Tianji not far away and spoke slowly: "Old man Tianji, your strength is indeed very strong, and it is unfathomable. We never deny this. But, have you ever thought that no matter how strong you are, without the sharpness and wisdom of us young people, you are still a step behind. In this unpredictable world, strength alone is not enough, and it depends on who can laugh last."

Elder Tianji frowned slightly when he heard this, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure. He knew that Pei Sheng's words were thorny, but they were also reasonable. After witnessing Luo Dan's shocking strength, he felt mixed emotions. Luo Dan stood there, as if surrounded by an invisible pressure, which made people feel in awe.

Elder Tianji took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality. He knew that a head-on confrontation with Luo Dan would only end in a crushing defeat like before. So, he retracted his hostile gaze and turned to look at Luo Dan, with a barely perceptible compromise in his tone: "Luo Dan, I admit that your strength is extraordinary, which is rare in my life. I have a map of the God's Treasures here, and I believe you should be very interested. This map of the God's Treasures was prepared by me long ago, and it is very important to me. It not only contains the secrets of countless treasures, but also hides the opportunity to improve cultivation and break through bottlenecks."

Hearing this, Luo Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He knew that the Shenzangtu mentioned by Elder Tianji was definitely not an ordinary thing, which could arouse his interest. So, he smiled faintly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "Oh? Shenzangtu? It sounds quite tempting. However, Elder Tianji, why do you think I would be interested in your Shenzangtu? Or, why do you think I would believe you?"

Elder Tianji had expected Luo Dan to ask this question. He smiled and slowly took out a yellowed blueprint from his bosom and unfolded it gently. The blueprint was covered with intricate runes and lines, like an ancient map or a mysterious puzzle.

“Luodan, look at this map of the divine treasure. The runes and lines on it are all the results of my years of research. They point to a forgotten ancient relic where amazing treasures and secrets are hidden. I believe that with your strength and wisdom, you will be able to unlock the secret of this map of the divine treasure, find the relic, and get everything you want.” Elder Tianji’s voice was low and alluring, as if he was telling an ancient legend.

Pei Sheng was dazzled by what he saw. He could not help but move closer to see every detail of the Shenzang Map. (End of this chapter)
