Starting from the Dragon Tribe

In front of the endless Hades Mountains, Chenhuang stopped at the foot of the mountains and looked at the mountains and terrain.

It has been many years since he came to Jiutian and Ten Lands, but he has not yet visited all three thousand states. This is because he has been stationed in the borderlands all year round, fighting against foreign lands.

In this era, the Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths jointly fought against the invasion of foreign lands, with mixed success and failure. Many of the Immortal King giants in the Immortal Realm would send their children to gain experience, and Chenhuang was one of them.

For the Immortal Territory, foreign lands are not yet a serious concern. What makes them even more fearful are the powerful beings in the sea of ​​​​world who do not know when they will return.

Chenhuang should have arrived here long ago, but due to the outbreak of the war, it was delayed for some time.

At this time, he looked at the Hades Mountains and thought thoughtfully, "There is indeed some mystery. Perhaps more than just a true immortal died here."

Before coming to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, an elder in his clan told him that although the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were the lower realms, they were actually not simple. If one traces the source, many of the most powerful people came from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

And even if the environment of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths makes it difficult to become an immortal, it does not necessarily mean that there are no masters.

Although Chenhuang is the son of the Immortal King, he is never arrogant and leads others with humility. He fights against foreign armies in the borderlands, and the officers and soldiers in the army admire him very much.

He came here to investigate the cause of the big event a month ago, but he acted very low-key and did not turn the Hades Mountains upside down as soon as he came up, which would affect the people's livelihood here.

It was rare that the king granted him a few years' leave. He planned to slowly investigate here and relax.

The king said that he could only fight and fight, but he would not be able to achieve greatness. Sometimes, he might calm down, wash away his brilliance, and transform into a new person, so that he can move towards a higher realm.

Otherwise, even if he is one of the fastest cultivators among the true immortals, he will still be stopped when he reaches the threshold of the Immortal King.

"Is this... the breath of a true dragon?"

After entering the Hades Mountains, Chenhuang sensed carefully and was a little surprised.

Then he frowned again, "No...it doesn't look like it. It's a dragon, but it's a little different from what I'm familiar with."

Chenhuang comes from the Immortal Realm, so he has naturally seen the Immortal King Clan in the Immortal Realm, which is the Dragon Clan.

The True Dragon Clan is extremely talented and blessed by heaven and earth. As long as they grow up, they will almost certainly become Immortal King-level existences when they reach adulthood. Therefore, in the fairy world, the True Dragon Clan is also called the Clan of Immortal Kings.

Every true dragon will eventually become a fairy king when it grows up, and many races can evolve towards true dragons. However, even if dozens of them coexist in the world, only one will be able to obtain the unique true name in the end.

Therefore, true dragons are a large family, but they are the only ones that can be called true dragons.

As the heir of the giant Immortal King, Chenhuang was of course fortunate enough to visit the True Dragon clan. He had also sparred with the True Dragon's young son when he was young, and was quite familiar with the True Dragon's aura.

He now feels the dragon's aura, but it's a little strange, like... it's mutated.

He looked solemn and said to himself: "It's very strong. It seems that the reason why the Qianji Mountain Range disappeared before has been found."

He did not sense the ominous aura of foreigners, but he was confused in his heart. Why did he see a real dragon in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?

You must know that those guys are very proud and usually do not go down to the lower world. Maybe one day in the future, when the war is extremely tragic, the True Dragon Clan will choose to take action.

Could it be that the fish from the lower world jumped over the dragon gate and transformed into a dragon?

Chenhuang cautiously explored the Hades Mountains with doubts. He walked among the mountains and rivers like a mortal, but many beasts fell to the ground after seeing him.

He had no intention of starting a big fight. As long as he was not a visitor from a foreign land and had not committed any murders before, he thought that it might not necessarily be the dragon hero here, and some exchanges might be able to help him.

…………

"Hey, silly girl, why don't you understand how dangerous the mountains are?"

Outside Zhangjia Village, a send-off team was lined up. Zhang Hu frowned as he looked at his daughter.

He only had this daughter, and even if he lost to his daughter in the competition last night, he still didn't want her to go.

Without him, Zhang Ling'er was too young and had little experience in surviving in the mountains, so it would be easy for her to suffer a loss.

But he also admired in his heart that she was worthy of being the daughter he gave birth to. Even though she was strong, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old and she couldn't beat her.

The village elder once said that Zhang Ling'er might be a special kind of barbarian. If he hadn't been born in such a ravine, he might have been a genius among cultivators.

But they will never be able to leave the mountains in their lifetime, and the people in Zhangjia Village will never see a monk in their lifetime, let alone let Zhang Ling'er go out to become a disciple?

"Dad, don't worry. I'm the strongest person in our village now. Leave it to me and I'll be back within ten days!"

Zhang Ling'er patted her chest and promised.

"Sister Ling'er, you have to be careful. You must come back safely."

"Sister Ling'er, I'll wait for you to come back and wrestle."

"..."

A group of young children also shouted with worried faces. Some of them were one or two years older than Zhang Ling'er, but they also called her sister, which shows her power among the children.

It was all a display of prestige. From childhood to adulthood, there was no child in the village who had not been beaten by Zhang Ling'er, but she was loyal and took good care of her little brother.

Moreover, it is normal for children to fight and fight, and it does not hurt feelings.

"You still have to wrestle, just have that little strength and go back and practice for a few more years."

One child smiled at the young man who had spoken before, causing a burst of laughter, because Zhang Ling'er could knock him down with one hand.

The young man blushed, "Who said that, I can also lift a three hundred kilogram millstone. In a few years, I will definitely win!"

Zhang Ling'er smiled and did not quarrel with the other children. When she saw the village chief's grandpa coming from behind the crowd, she said seriously: "Everyone, I'm leaving. If I don't come back in ten days, we will start migrating."

She also knew that this matter was not a joke. She wanted to go into the mountains to have a look, go on a long journey alone, and see the world farther outside. But she also knew that this was a matter of life and death in the village.

She didn't just want to do this because she knew that her father's body had hidden injuries and he was no longer suitable to be a hunting captain.

She doesn't want her father to carry out this dangerous mission. She is thirteen this year and will be an adult in two years. She is considered a young adult and should shoulder her own responsibilities.

Since she is the strongest person in the village now, she should carry out this task.

"Hey, you girl, say something auspicious!"

Zhang Hu raised his hand to greet his daughter and patted her on the head. This time Zhang Ling'er didn't hide, she just giggled after being patted.

"Hey, kid, take this bone knife. This is the best knife in the village."

The village elder took a bone knife holding an animal skin. This was picked up by the village in the mountains hundreds of years ago. It was speculated that it might be a weapon left behind by escapees from other large tribes who died in this mountain range.

Because this bone knife contains runes and has considerable power, it is not polished from the bones of wild beasts.

Generally speaking, if the village encounters a beast whose skin is difficult to scratch, this bone knife will be used to break it down. It is definitely the sharpest.

Zhang Ling'er solemnly took the bone knife and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief. I will definitely complete the task."

In this way, with the worries of his parents and the expectations of the villagers, Zhang Ling'er embarked on a journey into the Hades Mountains.

After entering the mountains, she discovered that strength alone was not necessarily effective, because there would be beasts stronger than her in the mountains and forests.

At this time, she had to use the experience taught by her father. Although many things were sharpened last night, it also gave her some help and avoided a lot of trouble.

In this way, she walked forward for four consecutive days and went deep into the Hades Mountains.

It can be said that the hunting team of Zhangjiacun has never been so deep into this place. Because of the terrible legend of the Hades Mountains, they have always returned to the village before sunset.

And Zhang Ling'er also knew why there was such a terrible legend. Whenever night fell, the wind in the Hades Mountains would become very scary.

She saw with her own eyes that a group of translucent things with unclear shapes were wandering in the mountains, passing by the beasts that were paralyzed on the ground due to inexplicable pressure.

Those beasts that were not dead were unaware of being scratched, as if they had not seen anything. However, after being scratched, as if their attention had been slightly diverted, they were not so scared and would stand up after a while. , quickly ran into the depths of the mountain forest.

As for those dead beasts, some hazy things will be taken away by those translucent objects.

Seeing these for the first time frightened Zhang Ling'er.

After all, she is a girl. When she was a child, her parents used these stories to scare her and tell her to stop crying and go to sleep.

It is said that there are evil ghosts in the Hades Mountains that seduce souls and seek life. They come out and wander around at night, and when they encounter disobedient children, they will devour their souls.

Zhang Ling'er climbed up the tree, covered her mouth with both hands, and looked at the green translucent beings walking through the gaps in the dense leaves, not daring to make a sound.

As a result, she seemed to be unlucky. A group of translucent ghost-like things floated towards her. They lined up and walked in the void as if they had two feet.

Zhang Ling'er was so frightened that she trembled. She didn't dare to move for fear of being discovered. In the end, those ghost-like things seemed to be climbing up the slope and walked up to her.

At that time, Zhang Ling'er was so scared that she wanted to jump off the tree and escape, but she couldn't react.

She could only close her eyes tightly, but in the next few seconds, she only felt a chill in her body, but her soul was not taken away.

She boldly opened her eyes and found that those "ghosts" just passed through her body, as if they didn't see her.

It wasn't until those guys were gone that Zhang Ling'er lay slumped on the tree, breathing heavily and looking at the green spots in the distance.

After this first experience, Zhang Ling'er became more experienced in the following nights. She no longer dared to spend the night in an open place outside, looking for a place where there were no traces of wild beasts or dead creatures.

"When will it end...has that terrifying existence not left yet?"

Zhang Ling'er was dejected. He had been walking for four days, and water and food were not available everywhere in the mountains.

The food was not bad at first, because she brought a lot of dry food, and there were also many beasts that were limp or simply scared to death. She could just take the local materials and roast them.

But there is no water in some places. The mountains and plains are covered with rocks, and even plants cannot be seen. Where there is no water and plants, there will naturally be no animals.

Since she passed through the jungle in front of her, a long stretch of the road has been empty stone mountains. If she hadn't been agile, climbing the mountain would have been difficult.

She didn't want everyone in the village to take the risk of crossing the mountains to find a new settlement, because many people would starve to death along the way.

But if she wanted to continue to stay here, she had to make sure it was safe first. She decided to go deeper and see if the beasts in the distance were normal and did not appear in that abnormal limp state. As long as they returned to normal, it would mean It seems that the unknown terrifying existence may have gone far away and was just passing by at that time.

On the sixth day, Zhang Ling'er had not drank water for three days, and the mountains and plains were covered with rocks. She saw the fallen bird on the ground, and regardless of her manners, she picked it up and bit the bird's throat, hoping to drink blood to quench her thirst.

But the flying bird seemed to have been dead for a few days. The temperature here was unusually high, and there was also little moisture in the body.

Finally, with willpower, she climbed another mountain and saw the green jungle again. She had never felt that the vegetation looked so friendly. It was really life-saving.

With hope and strength, she rushed down and ran into the jungle.

Perhaps it was God's favor. Although the sun had begun to set and her vision was not very good, she heard the sound, which was the sound of spring water.

Judging from the volume of the sound, I'm afraid it's a large waterfall, and it's definitely fresh, living water!

Zhang Ling'er's desire for water made her walk in the dark regardless of her fear of those ghostly things in the night. She must drink water tonight and then find a way to go back.

Getting here was already her limit. This was because there were no threats from large beasts on the road. Once she found an active beast in front of her, she would be sure that the terrifying existence was gone, and she would hurry back to the village.

Otherwise, if the large beasts on the way back recover, her way back will be very dangerous.

She stumbled through the jungle, and her eyes suddenly opened up. The air became moist, and the cool night wind blew away her face, seeming to sweep away some of her fatigue.

The waterfall is not far away. It is a wide waterfall with a height of a hundred feet. The splashing water can be felt from a distance.

But before she had time to rejoice, she felt a chill in her soul, and she covered her mouth with her hands in fear.

what is that! ?

She saw what seemed to be a figure sitting cross-legged on a big rock under the waterfall, and there were countless green lights around it. They were all ghost-like things, gathering together and seeming to kneel in front of that person.

Thousands of ghosts were kneeling there, and the green light illuminated the area, allowing Zhang Ling'er to see the man's existence clearly.

Dad, I may not be able to go back, your daughter and I have met the Ghost King!

Mom, I was wrong. It turns out that the stories you told are true. There really is a ghost king here!

Zhang Ling'er was trembling and didn't dare to say anything. She just hoped that the other party wouldn't notice her.

However, the next moment, the man turned his head...
