C370 Dragon Shadow
Under Zhao Jinbao's feet, the ground seemed to tremble intensely, as if it was about to split open. The entire space was instantly on the edge of collapse.
Zhao Jinbao looked around vigilantly at his surroundings. He never expected such a situation to occur, he thought that with the Dragon Pearl, he would be able to find the legendary great treasure safely.
The great treasure had not reached the point where it could show its true colors yet. It wanted to stealthily steal it away from the others, and take it as its own. This was something that would only happen in its dreams, so this time's exploration was fated to not yield any great rewards.
Due to the fact that space had collapsed, the inside of this current space was turbid and filled with spatial and temporal turbulence, and within these turbulence, was an extremely powerful energy. A few turbulent flows passed by Zhao Jinbao's face, and even though it did not touch his skin, Zhao Jinbao could still feel a sharp numbness, and strong wind sounds would occasionally come from his ears.
Clang!
The moment the mist dissipated, the turbulent space suddenly quieted down. A long voice with a deep meditation came out of it, soothing the emotions in the surrounding space.
Without the obstruction of the mist, Zhao Jinbao could finally see where he was.
It was a grand and towering palace. Inscribed on the walls of the palace was a totem of ten thousand beasts. On top of the carvings, a group of ten thousand beasts gathered, exuding a fearsome aura.
However, although these ten thousand beasts looked very fierce and powerful, if one looked closely, they would see that the heads of these ten thousand beasts were all facing in the same direction — toward the center of the hall.
And Zhao Jinbao, was standing on the table at the center of the hall!
Maybe it was because of the angle, but no matter which direction Zhao Jinbao looked at the sculptures of the ten thousand beasts, he felt that these beasts were looking at him.
At this moment, he was standing on the stage. Whether it was the giant or the small beast, none of the beast heads had reached his current height. All of their gazes were filled with admiration.
His goal was only to find a treasure, but the things that had happened so far didn't seem to have much to do with the so-called treasures. He actually felt that the reason the dragon pearl brought him here, was to let him know about something.
"A hundred thousand years. Finally, someone has set foot here!"
Just as Zhao Jinbao was deep in thought, a voice suddenly came out of nowhere. The voice seemed to come from somewhere far away, and no one knew where it came from.
Especially after the palace rang out, the sound lingered around the palace and echoes came from all directions, rendering the atmosphere extremely strange.
However, this was not the strangest thing. The strangest thing was that these words were not spoken in the modern language, but using a kind of bird language. Zhao Jinbao did not understand these languages, but he was able to understand the meaning of these words.
"Who is it? "Who's here?" Zhao Jinbao vigilantly surveyed his surroundings. Behind the hidden door, there was a strangeness that could not be described with words. Towards this voice, Zhao Jinbao had complete reason to believe that it was done on purpose.
"You don't need to look for me. You won't be able to see me, but I can see you!" The voice came again. Compared to last time, it sounded a bit more fake, giving off a hollow feeling.
"Who are you? Who exactly are you? " Zhao Jinbao's vigilance did not decrease, the strength in his entire body began to swell within his blood vessels, and he was ready to make a move anytime.
"Who I am is not important, and you don't need to know. You only need to know that the dragon bead in your body is mine!"
The moment his voice fell, the dragon pearl that had been silent within Zhao Jinbao's body once again flew out of his body without any warning. This time, the brilliance of the dragon pearl increased greatly, and the golden light halo was extremely dazzling.
At this moment, everything was submerged in the golden light.
And right in front of Zhao Jinbao, a faint shadow slowly formed under the contrast of the golden light.
The body of a horned snake with antlers and claws. Although it was only an illusionary image, the aura it emitted was one that could make all living things submit to it.
Zhao Jinbao looked at the image in shock. In his mind, he couldn't help but think of a living thing — a dragon!
Perhaps it was to confirm what he was thinking, but the dragon pearl floating above the palace suddenly dropped down at this moment. The shadow moved slightly, and the head of the horse and deer also rose up at this moment, directly swallowing the falling dragon pearl.
Weng! *
After eating the dragon bead, the golden figure instantly condensed quite a bit, and the faint pressure emitted from its body couldn't help but become a bit stronger.
Zhao Jinbao, who was already under immense pressure, now even his breathing became ragged.
"I thought that it would take a long time before anyone could enter this place. Young man, your arrival was slightly earlier than I expected!" The golden Loong Ying spoke out once again.2
"You … You knew I was coming here? " Zhao Jinbao began to collect his thoughts, trying to calm himself down as much as possible, and then replied while pretending to be calm.
"Of course, since you have already received the inheritance of this emperor's Pearl of Destiny, then you are the chosen successor of this emperor. This emperor's Pearl of Destiny will naturally bring you here. There is no doubt about this!" Loong Ying said.
"Pearl of Destiny?"
"Yes, it's the most precious treasure of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Pearl!"
Although he had expected it, but to hear it with his own ears, Zhao Jinbao still felt shocked. Indeed, this golden stone was the legendary Dragon Pearl.
"You … Are you really the legendary Divine Dragon? " Perhaps because he did not react in a short while, Zhao Jinbao actually asked this brainlessly.
"Otherwise? You think I'm lying to you? " Loong Ying's voice suddenly became gloomy, the pressure on Zhao Jinbao also suddenly increased.
Sensing the change in the other party's emotions, Zhao Jinbao hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, that's not what I meant. I just find it hard to believe, I am just a mere mortal, what qualifications do I have to receive the inheritance of the Divine Dragon?"
"Hehe, at least you know your own limits!" Loong Ying retracted his might, and his voice lightly transmitted over: "Human, in the eyes of our Dragon Clan, is indeed despicable. If it wasn't for the incident one hundred thousand years ago, I wouldn't have fallen to the point of choosing a mortal as my successor."
's body was covered in cold sweat, and he could faintly feel a faint killing intent coming from Loong Ying!
