Perhaps because of the temptation of the elixir, or perhaps because of the threat of the three centipedes, the gold-swallowing beast stood on Chen Yuan's shoulders without much resistance.
The little beast with a tiger head and a tiger brain is as big as a puppy, and its soft fur feels very comfortable and soft when touched with your hands.
"Although you are a gold-swallowing beast, you look very much like a tiger. From now on, I will call you Little Tiger."
Chen Yuan stroked the gold-swallowing beast's fur with his hand. He liked it very much. He threw a few Huanglong Pills to the opponent and walked towards the glowing stone.
"Be careful. The gold-swallowing beast is the most cautious and vigilant. It always watches without moving, which shows that there is still danger in this place."
Demon Lord Bai Zhenshan reminded him in time, and Chen Yuan's footsteps stopped two feet away from the luminous stone.
The stone was very ordinary. It was placed in the gap between two boulders. It was as big as a fist, golden and emitting golden light.
His consciousness dispersed, and Chen Yuan tried to find potential dangers. However, there was nothing abnormal around him, only the healing breath of Ouyang Tianyin and others.
"Senior can't sense it too?" Chen Yuan asked doubtfully.
"There is indeed nothing abnormal. However, looking at the behavior of the gold-swallowing beast, there must be potential dangers here."
After being reminded by Bai Zhenshan, Chen Yuan observed the gold-swallowing beast again. He saw the little beast lying on Chen Yuan's shoulder, its eyes widened, and its angry voice whining, as if it was intimidating some hidden guy.
"Letting out another four-winged centipede, which is less alert, may inspire the danger."
Although Chen Yuan was worried that the four-winged centipede he had just learned about would die due to potential danger, he had no choice but to drive a centipede with the lowest strength to get closer to the glowing stone.
Sudden……
A gust of wind quickly swept across the luminous stone, causing the surrounding area to be instantly filled with black mist. A small rotating cauldron could be vaguely seen floating in the black mist, and the black mist in space was ejected from the small cauldron.
Although Chen Yuan was not an expert in using poison, he often used poison to increase his combat power, so he avoided the black mist by three feet the moment it appeared.
"It turns out to be this little thing."
After successfully avoiding the black mist, Chen Yuan reached out and grabbed the small tripod floating in the black mist.
"Senior, what is this? It is not a magic weapon, let alone a magic weapon, but it can store poisonous mist."
Chen Yuan turned the small palm-sized cauldron in his hand. The cauldron was completely black and had no trace of a magical weapon. It looked like an ordinary object in the world.
"This thing is called a storage tool. It has the function of a storage bag and is a prototype of some kind of independent space. The small tripod in your hand is the lowest-level storage tool. The internal space is extremely limited. It is less than the size of a walnut. There is no It’s so useful, if you like it, you can use it as a toy.”
When Chen Yuan heard the word "storage" for the first time, he didn't take it seriously. However, the small tripod was exquisite in style and suitable for preservation.
The small mechanism set up by the black-robed monk was finally broken, and the black mist released from the small cauldron quickly disappeared.
The golden stone was only the size of a fist and was not considered a rare material. The gold-swallowing beast liked it, so Chen Yuan threw it into its mouth.
After successfully eating the golden stone, the gold-swallowing beast was completely conquered by Chen Yuan. Its furry head rubbed against Chen Yuan's face, which was very soft.
"How are your injuries?"
Chen Yuan was very satisfied with the gold-swallowing beast and planned to return to the Beast King's Palace temporarily. He did not believe that the monks in the world would give up the search for the Beast King's Palace.
But when he saw Ouyang Tianyin and others, he was still a little worried. Although he was not very familiar with Shi Yangming, he always admired him for his justice.
"With the help of Fellow Daoist Chen's elixir, our injuries have improved quite a bit. We can return to the sect smoothly."
Kang Xicheng's words reassured Chen Yuan and said: "Everyone, you should return as soon as possible. The danger of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain has not been completely eliminated. If the Blood Demon Sect can set up a trap here, there will definitely be other arrangements. With your current situation, state……"
Chen Yuan did not say what he said next. He believed that Kang Xicheng was not a fool.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen, for your help. We will return now."
The trapped beast array might be able to trap Zhuo Xiaowu and the gold-swallowing beast, but for the current Yan Yuan, they can be broken with the movement of his hand.
"move!"
After breaking the formation, Chen Yuan turned around and flew towards the Beast King's Palace.
"Chen...Brother Chen, don't you want to return with us? The Luoxia Sect is recruiting new disciples."
Ouyang Tianyin shouted to Chen Yuan, she really didn't know how to keep Chen Yuan by her side.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Miss Ouyang. I have important things to do, so I won't bother you anymore."
After separating from the Luoxia Sect monks, Chen Yuan originally planned to return to the Beast King Palace, but when he was less than ten miles away from the Beast King Palace, he discovered a group of uninvited guests.
Zhang Cheng, the Ninth Prince, and his subordinates.
It is understandable for Chen Yuan that the Ninth Prince chose to stay in Ten Thousand Beast Mountain for the sake of his position as emperor. It was just the appearance of Zhang Cheng that made Chen Yuan a little surprised and confused.
Zhang Cheng, the son of Zhang Changqing, calls himself a member of the God Clan. Does his appearance next to the Ninth Prince mean that the Gods have also joined in this dispute over the emperor?
The situation seems to be getting more and more serious, beyond the imagination of ordinary monks.
"They want to discuss something more."
Hiding in the dark, Chen Yuan tried to listen to the conversation between the two, but their voices were so small that they could hardly be heard. He vaguely heard the words 'Ancestor Summoning Ceremony'.
"Senior Bai, is this ancestor summoning ceremony some kind of sacrificial activity? They seem to have mentioned the Beast King Mountain."
Chen Yuan asked Bai Zhenshan.
"The Ancestor Summoning Ceremony? You mean that the Beast King Ceremony is going to be held in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains? Boy, the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains are in trouble, and you have to help them."
Hearing the four words "Ancestral Summoning Ceremony", the Demon Lord suddenly shouted loudly, with surprise and helplessness in his voice.
"What exactly is the Ancestor Summoning Ceremony? Why are seniors so excited? Judging from the performance of seniors, this Ancestor Summoning Ceremony is very important to Beast King Mountain."
Chen Yuan asked again, but only received a rebuke from Bai Zhenshan: "Don't ask anything now. When the day comes, you will understand everything. Now you only need to do one thing, return to the Beast King Palace as soon as possible. Whatever happens in the outside world has nothing to do with you. Until I let you show up, everything will be revealed."
Chen Yuan followed Bai Zhenshan's orders obediently, but at this time, the Ninth Prince and others were very restless and actually tried to break into the Beast King's Palace again.
"close the door!"
After receiving the Demon Lord's order, Chen Yuan quickly executed it and locked the door of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace tightly.
Outside the Beast King's Palace, the Ninth Prince, led by Zhang Cheng, stood on the top of the mountain again.
"Your Highness Ninth, I have been ordered by my father to show you the treasure map. Although it is only a part, it also represents the sincerity of our clan. Do you think we can cooperate?"
Zhang Cheng is much more mature than he was more than ten years ago. He doesn't feel awkward standing next to the Ninth Prince. He is no longer the young man who fled with his family.
"My Highness has also heard about the treasure of Beast King Mountain. But are you really sure that you will find the treasure? You must know that His Highness's affairs are much more important than the existence or absence of treasures. If you delay His Highness's affairs, even if you Even the gods can’t afford it.”
Although Zhao Xinghan's words were threatening, it could be heard that he was very interested in the treasures of Beast King Mountain.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Although our clan has declined in the past few hundred years, it must still be a branch of the Qili clan. Back then, we were the same masters of this mountain range as the Beast King Mountain. And this half of the treasure map was left by our ancestors. , absolutely nothing wrong.”
After listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Zhao Xinghan nodded slightly and said, "What does your clan want His Highness to do?"
"It's very simple. After the Ancestor Summoning Ceremony at Beast King Mountain is completed, please Your Highness to unite some forces to jointly suppress Beast King Mountain and ask them to hand over the other half of the treasure map. Then we will hunt for the treasure together, and any treasure we get will be ours. As for the share, Your Highness will get 80%, and our clan will only get 20%."
The Ninth Prince did not object to Zhang Cheng's opinion, but he did not object either. He just frowned slightly and said: "Beast King Mountain is a monster sect that has been passed down for a long time. Why do you think that the current Beast King Mountain has declined and is no longer your opponent? .”
"Your Highness doesn't know that there are no golden elixir stage monsters in the Beast King Mountain now. Even the current mountain lord Yan Qingcheng is just a fox around the elixir stage. As long as your highness can unite with the Shenlong Sect or other forces, By sending one or two golden elixir experts, we are 80% sure to completely suppress Beast King Mountain. By then, let alone half a treasure map, we can even get them to leave Beast King Mountain."
After listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Zhao Xinghan finally understood the plan of Zhang Cheng's family. They just wanted to use half of the treasure map and the identity of the gods to get part of the treasure in vain.
It was really a perfect empty-handed plan, but the Ninth Prince didn't care much. As long as it was beneficial to him in seizing the throne of the emperor, having more strength was nothing.
"Isn't there a Lihuo tribe in your branch of the God Clan? That Man Tong's strength has also reached the Golden Core stage. Why did you come to His Highness?"
Zhao Xinghan did not object to Zhang Cheng's help, but he still raised his own questions.
"The disintegration of the Qili tribe is no longer a matter of a day or two. The Lihuo tribe, the Black Earth tribe where Mantong belongs, and our Tianshui tribe are all small tribes formed after the Qili tribe fell apart. And we are not in harmony with each other, and even often A melee. Even if the Black Earth Tribe is the most powerful of all the small ethnic groups, we will not ask for help. Even if our tribe puts aside its ethnic prejudices, the Black Earth Tribe will not agree to help."
"However, what is certain is that the Lihuo Clan and the Black Earth Clan are also interested in the treasure of Beast King Mountain."
Zhang Cheng's explanation was basically clear, so the Ninth Prince didn't ask any more questions.
The most important thing now is, among those powerful people in the Golden Core stage, who will be interested in the treasures of Beast King Mountain.
With his brows furrowed, the Ninth Prince planned to send people to the three major divine sects first. Even if he could not invite the powerful people from the Golden Core Stage of the Goddess Sect, he would at least invite the powerful people from the Divine Dragon Sect.
However, what the Ninth Prince didn't know was that the treasures in Beast King Mountain were not only of interest to him, but also to all powerful people in the world, including his father and eldest brother.
