Chen Fan suddenly felt like the world was spinning, as if he was being sucked into a black hole. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was in a mysterious space.
In the gray sky, endless gray clouds filled the entire void like a rough ocean. Everything you can see is vast and boundless, making people feel insignificant. This is a fantastic space whose vastness is immeasurable.
In this space, a ferocious-looking giant weighs thousands of feet, as if connected to the power of heaven and earth. He stands under the sky, as stable as a rock, and seems to have been unswerving for hundreds of millions of years.
From this giant, an ancient aura suddenly burst out, carrying endless vicissitudes and heaviness. At this moment, every acupuncture point on his body was like a bright star, shining with light.
Those lights were as brilliant as a meteor shower, illuminating the entire space. Every acupuncture point contains the power to destroy the world, just like a small world. In these acupuncture points, one can faintly hear the mournful wails of hundreds of millions of creatures.
There are mountains of corpses and seas of bones everywhere in the space. The earth is dyed red with blood, and corpses of various shapes are piled up like mountains. Some of the corpses were as tall as hills, and they were the remains of some mysterious creature.
Among the mountains of corpses and seas of bones, Chen Fan saw creatures of various shapes. Some have three heads and six arms, some have the body of a dragon, some have three eyes, some are covered in scales... Their figures in this desolate land form a shocking picture.
All creatures prostrated themselves on the blood-red earth, their heads buried deep in the soil, and worshiped the majestic giant as if he was the only god in their hearts.
That giant body with a ferocious face suddenly had a dazzling light shining in its eyes!
His right eye is like a bright sun, shining brightly, bringing light to the world and vitality and hope to all things. The left eye is like an unfathomable black hole, filled with endless darkness and filled with negative forces such as destruction, killing, death, madness, and resentment.
In that left eye, you can only see the darkest side of human nature.
One side is full of vitality, and the other side is lifeless. The ancient gods stand between heaven and earth, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, the ancient god's two pupils stared closely at Chen Fan.
A mysterious force instantly connected them together like an electric shock.
In this strange space, the ancient god let out an earth-shattering howl, like the collapse of the sky, which made people feel awe.
At that moment, his eyes seemed to turn into mysterious whirlpools, and countless strange light symbols flew out of his pupils. These light spots were like stars in the sky, shining with mysterious light, pouring into Chen Fan's disembodied body. Suddenly, Chen Fan's body seemed to turn into a bright star, and every acupuncture point was as bright as a star, shining brightly.
However, in this bright light, a heartbreaking pain burst out from every acupuncture point in Chen Fan's body. It was as if countless sharp knives were raging inside his body, causing him death. His brain felt like it was being torn apart, and the pain suddenly woke him up from his dream.
When he woke up, Chen Fan was still sitting on the third floor of the stone building. The blood streak on his chest, the originally bright rainbow light gradually dimmed in the child, and he sat cross-legged with a pale face. He looked a little dazed, as if he was still recalling the painful dream.
If an outsider breaks in, they will find a little strange light flickering in the depths of his left and right pupils. Those strange lights were like tiny elves, constantly jumping in the depths of his eyes. …
Xia Xinyan, Chi Xiao, and Zuo Xu walked hand in hand into the spacious backyard of the Chen family. Suddenly their eyes widened and there was a look of surprise on their faces. They all looked at a stone building five hundred meters away, with confusion in their eyes.
"Why is there such a strange power emitting from there?" Xia Xinyan couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes full of confusion, "This power is both mysterious and ancient, as if it originated from the distant prehistoric era. However, such a The appearance of power here is really... unusual."
Chi Xiao's eyes were dull, and he was also staring at the stone building, and he said to himself: "What a strange feeling, that power makes the martial spirit in my body tremble. What kind of power can actually make the martial arts in my body tremble?" Soul resonance?"
Xia Xinyan frowned and asked Zuo Xu thoughtfully: "Master Zuo, is that stone building the residence of Chen Jian? I thought he was just an ordinary person, but now it seems that this person must be hiding What made me underestimate him..."
Zuo Xulian shook his head and said with a strange expression: "No, the owner of that stone building is not Chen Jian, but his grandson Chen Fan. That kid is obsessed with the study of ancient literature and monuments. He is a... strange little guy."
"Chen Fan..." Xia Xinyan silently recited the name in her heart, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she nodded: "In that case, let's go see the head of the Chen family first."
"Yeah." Zuo Xu agreed. With doubts and expectations in their eyes, the three of them walked towards the main courtyard of the Chen family.
…
In the secret room, two brothers, Chen Jian and Chen Tie, were discussing how to deal with the Yan family's challenge. Suddenly, they felt an abnormal fluctuation from within the family.
Chen Jian's expression changed slightly, and he shouted in surprise: "That strange movement seems to come from that boy Chen Fan's stone building! Is there any secret hidden there?"
That aura was quietly sensed by masters who had reached a certain level of cultivation, and they couldn't help but become curious about Chen Fan's stone tower.
After a startled shout, Chen Jian anxiously pushed open the stone door of the secret room and walked out quickly. Chen Tie also followed closely behind.
The two of them hurriedly came out of the secret room and went straight to Chen Fan's stone building. However, before they approached the stone building, they saw Zuo Xu, Chi Xiao and Xia Xinyan standing there.
Chen Jian suddenly looked stunned, and his face looked a little strange. He stopped and asked from a distance: "Brother Zuo, are you here so early? Is there something wrong?"
He recognized Xia Xinyan at a glance, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Like Zuo Xu, he also thought with a guilty conscience that Xia Xinyan came to them to ask questions.
"Master Chen, can we find a quiet place to talk in detail?" Zuo Xu invited in a calm tone, with a hint of sincerity in his eyes.
Chen Jian frowned. He originally planned to check out the changes in Chen Fan's stone tower, but Zuo Xu's invitation made him hesitate for a moment. Finally, he decided to take Zuo Xu, Xia Xinyan and others to the main hall to discuss.
Soon, brothers Chen Jian and Chen Tie brought Zuo Xu and Xia Xinyan to the main hall. After they sat down in the main hall, Zuo Xu cleared his throat and conveyed Xia Xinyan's intention.
"Cooperation?" Chen Jian repeated in surprise, feeling secretly relieved. He thought for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "If I can join hands with Miss Xia, I really want it. Only if the treasure map is complete can we obtain the position of Tianmen. My Chen family has no monopoly ambitions. Miss Xia can put aside the past grudges. , is truly a magnificent work.”
Without hesitation, Xia Xinyan took out half of the fragmented picture in her hand, placed it gently on the stone ground, and said in a calm tone: "Master Chen, you can take out your half of the fragmented picture now."
Chen Jian looked at Zuo Xu and saw Zuo Xu nodded slightly, so he took out half of his fragmented picture and placed it gently next to Xia Xinyan's fragmented picture. A strange yellow light suddenly shined from the connection between the two people's broken pictures.
That yellow light seemed to be alive and full of strange stickiness. It perfectly blended the two residual images together, and not even a single seam could be detected. The yellow light shines like magic, blooming from the complete treasure map.
On the dark yellow treasure map, the lines outlined one after another seem to come to life. They twist and roll on the treasure map, like wriggling earthworms. Surprisingly, the patterns on the treasure map are gradually undergoing earth-shaking changes.
As time went by, the treasure map became clear from blur, and soon a lifelike scene of the valley appeared in front of everyone. The valley is filled with a strange gloomy atmosphere, and beyond the valley is a green swamp, where every water bubble can be clearly seen.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jian, Chen Tie, Zuo Xu, and Chi Xiao were so surprised that they could not speak. Their faces were full of surprise. Only Xia Xinyan looked normal and said calmly: "Four of you, I am not familiar with this place. Although this picture is very clear, I don't know where it is. Do you know this place?"
"Dead Silence Swamp, Jueyin Valley!"
Chi Xiao's expression was uncertain, he was silent for a moment, and finally said seriously: "That's right! It's definitely Jueyin Valley! The Dead Swamp there is a mysterious place. The yin energy in the sky and the earth is extremely strong, and it has given birth to many rare yin wonders. Jane.”
"It's good to understand clearly." Xia Xinyan nodded in agreement, "In this way, we can start preparing to go to Jueyin Valley. There can be no delay for a moment, I will arrange the affairs of the Treasure Pavilion as soon as possible, and then we will set off."
"But Jueyin Valley is the lair of Yamata no Orochi?" Zuo Xu took a deep breath and turned to Chi Xiao beside him to ask.
When Chen Jian heard this, his expression changed slightly.
Chi Xiao nodded slowly and said in a serious tone: "Yes, the Yamata no Orochi is entrenched in Jueyin Valley. This trip may not be easy."
"Yama no Orochi?" Xia Xinyan was still calm and composed, "Judging from the name, it should be a very ferocious monster, right?"
"That's right, Yamata no Orochi is a level seven monster!" Chi Xiao replied.
Xia Xinyan frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "In this case, it is indeed a bit troublesome. But there is no need to worry, the seventh-level monster is just a warrior equivalent to the heavenly realm. Together, you and I can definitely Beat it."
After hearing these words, everyone felt a little calmer, but it was still difficult to hide their inner worries.
"Yes, the Yamata no Orochi is indeed a seventh-level monster, but it is the overlord among the seventh-level monsters. It has eight heads, each with unique wisdom and amazing attack power. Facing it, I would rather deal with three ordinary seventh-level monsters than easily provoke them. Alas, I have to return to the Yunwu Mountains during this trip and carry some precious secret treasures with me, just in case." Chi Xiao said in a heavy tone said.
"As for the treasure map, just keep it. In a month, we will meet at the entrance of the Dead Swamp."
Xia Xinyan stood up without hesitation and said calmly: "I hope you won't keep me waiting too long. I don't have much time to waste." As soon as she finished speaking, she left the room lightly.
Zuo Xu smiled bitterly and said to Chen Jian: "Brother, today Yue City is in chaos, and the Chen family and the Yan family are at a critical moment. Can you really get away?"
Chen Jian shook his head and said: "It is indeed not easy. But with Mr. Chi Xiao here, it doesn't matter whether I go or not. I will arrange additional manpower to deal with it. Oh, then Chen Fan likes to take risks, so let him follow Chi Xiao this time Sir, maybe you can accumulate some experience for him." As he said that, Chen Jian turned his eyes to Chi Xiao.
"Yes." Chi Xiao nodded slightly, with a hint of agreement in his eyes.
"I can't leave Tianyue City at the moment, otherwise Nangong Shang will definitely become suspicious. Let's do this. I'll let Xiao Shi go, and then arrange for two families to accompany me. This operation doesn't need to be overly focused on the number of people. What's more important is to keep it secret. ." After careful consideration, Zuo Xu also agreed to Chen Jian's proposal.
"Master Chen, I need to return to the Yunwu Mountains first. In a month, I will arrive at the Dead Swamp on time. Your people can stay away and let them go to the Dead Swamp with Xiao Shi, so that I can move alone faster." Chi Xiao arranged things in an orderly manner.
"Okay, I will let Han Feng follow that guy Chen Fan and leave the city secretly with Zuo Shi. It should be enough in a month." Chen Jian nodded in agreement, put away the treasure map and handed it to Chi Xiao, saying sincerely : "Mr. Chi Xiao, please take care of Chen Fan and don't let him have any accidents."
"Don't worry, I will definitely pay attention." Chi Xiao took the treasure map and put it away without hesitation, showing his trust in him.
