C196 Hellhound
In the afternoon of the second day, Shen Lang returned to Kunlun Ruins and saw Shen Zhan in the study room of the ancient fortress.
It had only been half a month. Shen Lang felt that his grandfather had aged a lot compared to before. His face was full of fatigue and his eyes were bloodshot.
"About your father." Shen Zhan rubbed the bridge of his nose. "If you didn't tell me that you saw him, I would have thought that he would have already died …" He went to the Third Heaven to find your mother when you were very young. "
Shen Lang frowned. To him, his mother was even stranger than his father. He couldn't even recall his mother's appearance from memory.
"My mother in the Third Heaven?" Shen Lang asked.
Shen Zhan slightly nodded his head: "Your mother was already a person of the third heaven, but due to an accident, she came to Mortal World. At that time, she was heavily injured, and was saved and taken care of by your father. That's where you are. However, your mother is after all, a person of the third heaven, she did not wish for her family members to know that she had married and given birth to someone of Mortal World. In order to protect you and your father, she could only return. "
"So that's how it is …" Shen Lang muttered, "I thought she didn't want me anymore..."
Shen Zhan smiled helplessly: "You are a piece of meat that fell from her body, how could she not want you?"
Shen Lang thought for a while and asked again: "Why would my mother come to Mortal World? How did she get back? And also … How did my father get into the third sky? "
Shen Zhan rubbed his chin, "I'm afraid that we'll only know the answer to these questions if we find them."
Then, Shen Zhan opened the drawer in the desk, and took out an Origin Key and gave it to Shen Lang: "This is the Origin Key that Taotie swallowed, I'll give it to you now. I hope that one day you will be able to find another kind of small dimension that has source energy resources, and that will be of great use to you. "
Shen Lang solemnly caught the Origin Key in his hand. It was a small Origin Key that weighed a ton at the moment.
"Yes, grandfather." Shen Lang put the source key into his pocket.
Shen Zhan continued: "Also, I suggest you go to the space where Winged Dragon was buried and find her body."
Shen Lang immediately asked, "This …" How do I get in? "
Shen Zhan explained in detail:
"The place where the Winged Dragon is trapped in, is neither the Mortal World nor the Triple Layered Heavens, nor the other small independent dimensional spaces. It is a special dimensional space created by an accident in the midst of intense battles."
"This place is unlike the Three Heavens Passage, which is sealed by three levels of people. It's also not like those independent spaces with abundant source energy which were hidden by our ancestors and require the source key to be found and opened."
"You already know the location of where the Winged Dragon is trapped. You only need to use enough energy to open the tunnel inside. Our Kunlun Ruins can still do it. "
Shen Lang nodded: "If that's the case, then I'll go back and bring back the Winged Dragon's body for burial."
However, Shen Zhan waved his hand: "No, it would be too wasteful to bury the Winged Dragon's body. There was a secret technique within the Kunlun Ruins Tower of Encyclopedia. It was developed by a few tens of millions of years ago by an expert with the physique of the Ancient Desolation. Only the Ancient Desolation could learn and use it. This secret technique is called Ancient Desolation Body Forging Technique. Once you learn it, you can refine and absorb the Winged Dragon's remains for your use and further strengthen your body. "
Shen Lang's jaw almost dropped to the ground. Not only was he shocked that the Kunlun Ruins actually had such a secret skill, he was even more surprised that his grandfather actually wanted him to give the Winged Dragon's corpse to …
"Isn't this disrespecting her seniors too much?" Shen Lang's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Shen Zhan smiled as he said: "I've said it before, the ancestors of our Kunlun Ruins have never bothered with small matters. If we can get her body to be of use, she definitely won't have any objections. It would be disrespectful of her if her body were to be wasted or even taken by someone else with ill intentions. "
Shen Zhan's words dispelled Shen Lang's worry: "Alright then … "Then I'll do it according to grandpa's instructions."
Subsequently, Shen Zhan gave a piece of paper with dense text to Shen Lang: "This is the entire formula of the Ancient Desolation Forging Technique. You should memorize it as soon as possible and then practice it in detail later."
"Yes, grandfather." Shen Lang took the paper and cupped his hands.
The Ancient Desolation Body Forging Technique had a few thousand words, and the sentences were extremely obscure and hard to pronounce. Shen Lang had to memorize it for two whole days before he could memorize every single word of the formula.
On the afternoon of the third day after Shen Lang's reciting, Shen Zhan had someone prepare a rather sumptuous lunch and ate with Shen Lang.
Halfway through his meal, Shen Zhan glanced at the wall clock — it was already 12 o'clock.
"There isn't enough time …" Shen Zhan muttered to himself.1
Shen Lang was surprised, "Grandpa, what did you say?"
"Ah …" "It's fine, it's fine. Let's just continue eating." Shen Zhan smiled easily.
Suddenly, an inexplicable cold wind blew in this sealed city. The bone-chilling feeling made Shen Lang shiver. At the same time, the surrounding light also became a lot dimmer.
This extremely abnormal phenomenon caused Shen Lang to be on guard.
Immediately, Shen Lang heard a weird sound a few meters behind his grandpa like the growl of a wild dog. However, there was nothing there.
Shen Lang stared straight at Shen Zhan's back, "Grandpa …" Did you hear that? "
"Relax, they're looking for me." Shen Zhan had a relaxed expression.
"They?" Shen Lang rubbed his eyes and confirmed that he didn't see anything: "They... What is it? "
"They are here to take my soul away, in accordance with the contract. They are hellhounds." Shen Zhan said calmly.
The horrifying growl came from behind Shen Zhan again, and it sounded closer than before.
Shen Lang's expression turned dark, he picked up an empty bowl and threw it towards the direction of the sound.
With a "pa" sound, the empty bowl crashed into pieces about a meter and a half from the ground.
"Roar!" A terrifying roar sounded at the same time. Shen Lang heard it clearly, this roar was directed at him.
"Grandfather, I can't let it take you away!" Shen Lang stood up and stared at the source of the sound.
Shen Zhan smiled, "The deadline has arrived. It's not up to us to decide. However, I do not wish to leave for the time being." "Don't worry, I can still stall for time."
The moment he said that, an orange shadow appeared out of nowhere and jumped behind Shen Zhan like lightning.
"Taotie?" Shen Lang looked at the little thing in surprise.
"Awoo —" The Taotie that looked like a little kitten stood behind Shen Zhan and growled a few meters away.
The hell dog's terrifying sound disappeared.
Shen Zhan said to Shen Lang: "With the Taotie, you can help me block it for the time being."
Shen Lang frowned: "Can we get Taotie to kill this hell dog? "This way, you'll be fine."
"There's more than one hell dog. After I get rid of this one, there'll be even more coming. Endless, until my soul is taken away …" Shen Zhan smiled helplessly: "Listening to it, it's kind of scary."
Shen Lang glanced behind Shen Zhan from time to time, and asked Shen Zhan: "Grandfather, you said that the ones who signed the contract with the Overlord of Darkness and Saint Lord of Light were you, Grandpa Qin Yun, and ten thousand members of the Kunlun Ruins Knight Regiment. When the deadline is up... And it's all because of this... Did the hell dog take away the soul? "
