Long Chen walked ahead, not looking back and said, "There's no need for that." "
The leader of the Ironblood Mercenary Group's expression changed, but before he could speak, Long Chen continued:
"Everything here belongs to no one. Whoever gets it belongs to them. I already know the general direction. If you find the treasure in front of you tempting, you can stop cooperating."
Anyway, half the reward has already been paid to you. You can choose to search for treasures here or continue with us. "
Who is Long Chen? Just by looking at his eyes, you can tell what he's thinking. Clearly, if Long Chen had gotten the dragon egg just now, he would definitely be upset. He wanted to negotiate how everyone would distribute the treasure in the future."
Long Chen refused outright. From what he learned along the way, he already knew the general direction of the Seventh Branch Ruins, and the leader of the Ironblood Mercenary Group, who had never been there, only knew the general direction.
Long Chen had no reason to get hung up on such trivial matters. If it weren't for being afraid of finding a spot, he wouldn't have worked with them at all.
Hearing Long Chen say this, the four were instantly tempted. Long Chen was trustworthy; bringing them here meant they had completed half the task, free to come and go. These two Spirit King Pills were actually quite easy to earn.
But letting them leave was a bit unwilling. They could tell Long Chen was a terrifyingly deep person, and following him was probably the safest option.
Moreover, Long Chen had also said that whoever obtains treasures in this area will have them, which reassured them.
So Long Chen walked ahead, and in the end, they obediently followed behind. After walking for an hour, more and more dragons lurked ahead, forcing everyone to be cautious, constantly taking detours to find a relatively safe path.
This valley was vast. Long Chen and the others had been traveling for three days and nights before only covering halfway, which made Long Chen somewhat impatient.
Because dragons were everywhere, they didn't dare to move too fast. However, over the past three days, everyone had gained something: Jiang Yuhe had stolen a dragon egg, the deputy leader of the Ironblood Mercenary Group had obtained an Immortal King-level dragon corpse, and the others had also gained some rewards.
The aura here was special, with some rare spiritual herbs growing and even strange minerals. Bai Shishi had obtained a fist-sized golden ore containing violent gold power, which was quite useful to her.
The most abnormal was Bai Xiaole, who used spatial techniques to steal six dragon eggs in total, making the eyes of the Evil Dragon Domain's experts red.
If Long Chen weren't here, they would probably have wanted to kill and seize the treasure. But now, they could only feel jealousy and dared not show greed.
As for Jiang Yuhe, who had stolen a dragon egg, she was in a great mood along the way and seemed to become more easygoing, even actively trying to please Bai Shishi. However, her words often contained traps, trying to get information about Bai Shishi's background.
She could tell that although Bai Shishi was extremely powerful, she lacked experience. Unfortunately, Bai Shishi ignored her, and Bai Xiaole, Qin Feng, and the others didn't say anything. She didn't dare to get Long Chen to know anything, so in the end, she could only keep quiet.
"This won't do, it's too slow. There's not enough time to waste. Xiao Le, I'll catch a pterosaur for you, we'll fly over." Long Chen said.
Although this was a bit risky and they didn't fully understand the place, this was really not a solution.
"Alright,"
Bai Xiaole was extremely excited.
Long Chen fixed his sights on a giant dragon with outstretched wings and lying on the ground. When he got close enough, he formed hand seals, and an invisible, tangible force shot straight at the dragon's head.
That was a soul assault. Long Chen was not a soul cultivator; he could only use the clumsiest, most primitive methods to break through.
At the very moment Long Chen unleashed his soul impact, the leader of the Ironblood Mercenary Group, Jiang Yuhe, and the others felt their minds grow dizzy and their minds blur, startling them in shock.
Long Chen's soul assault was aimed at the giant dragon, and they were caught up in the shock as well. A look of terror appeared in their eyes. The aftershock was so terrifying. If Long Chen had attacked them directly, at the moment their souls were struck, he would have had countless opportunities to take their lives.
This was the first time they had ever seen Long Chen make a move, and the moment he did, he scared them completely.
At the very moment Long Chen unleashed his soul attack, the dragon's body trembled violently. At that moment, Bai Xiaole formed hand seals, and as the dragon opened its eyes, a three-flower pattern appeared in its massive pupils.
At the moment the dragon's soul was impacted, Bai Xiaole activated his ocular technique, instantly controlling the dragon.
"Whoosh!"
The giant dragon suddenly stood up, opened its bloody maw, and lunged at everyone. The Ironblood Mercenary Group leader and others turned pale in fright. Just as they were about to attack, Long Chen cursed, "
Stop messing around!"
The dragon opened its mouth wide and stopped before everyone. Only then did the Ironblood Mercenary Group leader realize that Bai Xiaole had deliberately scared them, which made them extremely angry. They had indeed been startled earlier. They weren't afraid of this dragon, but they were afraid of alerting others.
Bai Xiaole wore a mischievous grin, clearly startling them and making him feel good. This guy was still a kid at heart but didn't realize that scaring people can really kill them.
Long Chen took out the flying boat, and everyone boarded it. The pterosaur held the vessel in its mouth, then spread its wings and sped away with the vessel.
Bai Xiaole controlled the giant dragon to speed away, instantly speeding up. After an hour of flight, it was almost as if the end of Evil Dragon Valley was near.
"Watch out!"
Long Chen suddenly cried out in alarm, opening his massive jaws and biting down. His pitch-black teeth bit through the dragon in one bite, blood splattering everywhere.
At that moment, Long Chen saw a huge black head that bit through the pterosaur. It was another giant dragon, jet black and ten times larger than the dragon Bai Xiaole had controlled.
"It's a demon dragon,"
Long Chen's expression changed slightly. The aura on this black dragon was completely different from other evil dragons. It carried the aura of the demon race, somewhat similar to the evil dragon, but different from the aura of a magical beast. The aura of a demon dragon was unique and easy to recognize.
Long Chen had previously discussed the history and knowledge of the dragon clan with Longgu Xie Yue, but in the academy's scripture pavilion, Long Chen understood the Dao: demon dragons are beings of the demon realm—how could they appear in the Immortal Realm?
"Don't move!"
Long Chen saw the Ironblood Mercenary Group leader and Jiang Yuhe preparing to act. Long Chen shouted coldly and extended his bone blade outside the flying boat.
"Pfft"
Long Chen severed the dragon's head from within, detaching from the body and falling from the void.
At that moment, the black dragon had already swallowed the pterosaur's corpse in several bites, ignoring the fallen head and instead pouncing on other dragons resting.
Long Chen and the others took the opportunity to retract their flying vessels and escape from the dragon's head, finding a place to hide. When they looked at the black dragon again, everyone wore expressions of shock.
