By examining the armadillo's memories, Long Chen discovered that this was a treasure land, filled with countless rare medicinal herbs, and the location where Long Chen was was only on the outskirts of this treasure land.
Deep within the treasure land, countless rare herbs were stored, but these were guarded by even more terrifying beings.
With the armadillo's strength, it could only secure a place in the outer regions. Now that Long Chen had given it the Purple Leaf Orchid Heart Fruit, its injuries had fully healed, and it was filled with gratitude toward Long Chen.
Even if Long Chen planted a slave mark on it, it wouldn't refuse. But Long Chen didn't do so; instead, he let it go.
This armadillo had spent a long time with the Purple-leaf Orchid Fruit and had developed intelligence, making it very different from ordinary magical beasts. Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone against the beast's instinct to protect its child.
The armadillo left with four cubs. Long Chen organized his thoughts, took out a piece of paper, and sketched a sketch on it.
"By the way, senior, do you know what's inside?" As Long Chen was drawing, he suddenly spoke.
He suddenly felt foolish. The Qiankun Cauldron knows everything; if it investigates, wouldn't it have everything? Why bother with such foolish effort?
"You have to eat your meal bite by bite, walk the road step by step, and some things are destined not to be shortcuts." The Qiankun Cauldron clearly already knew what Long Chen was thinking.
Well, it was pointless to ask. After all, masters always say things that are hard to understand, so Long Chen didn't press further.
However, Long Chen vaguely felt that the Qiankun Cauldron had drawn him here for a complicated reason.
Long Chen quickly drew a sketch. This sketch had no directional coordinates, because the beast couldn't tell east from west; it only knew the inside and outside, danger and safety.
The armadillo's memories had once penetrated deep into the area, but when it encountered a terrifying creature, it didn't even see its appearance before being scared off by its aura.
Later, he drove away the original guardian of the purple-leaf orchid fruit and stayed behind. Not long after, another armadillo arrived, and this time it was male.
At first, the two armadillos fought over each other, then they shared purple-leaf orchids, and later, they even began to mate.
Just hundreds of years ago, when a living being came to compete for the Purple Leaf Orchid Heart Fruit, the male armadillo was killed, leaving only the male armadillo behind. Just as it was giving birth and its strength was depleted, a powerful demon clan member attacked.
If this armadillo were at its peak, these demon experts would surely have to pay a heavy price to take it down.
This armadillo had lived here for a long time, but its range wasn't very wide. However, Long Chen knew that hundreds of places around it had powerful beings, and where there were powerful beings, there were surely treasures.
Long Chen only needed to know the general direction, spread his thunderous wings, and sped toward the depths.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a furious roar came from ahead. A divine light pierced through the sky, and a figure was smashed to dust by that divine light.
Ahead lay the territory of a wild wolf. A powerful fighter, relying on his powerful stealth skills, approached the wild wolf's side, about to strike at the treasure, but was discovered by the wild wolf and killed him in one strike.
The man's actions enraged the wild wolf. It immediately spotted the speeding Long Chen, and regardless of whether Long Chen was with the man, it suddenly opened its huge mouth wide.
"Buzz!"
A wind blade tore through the void, like a divine blade, fiercely slashing toward Long Chen.
"Boom!"
Long Chen swung his large hand and struck the wind blade with a palm. The massive wind blade exploded with a roar, and the violent wind force swept in all directions, shattering countless rolling stones and trees.
Long Chen smashed the wind blade with a single slap, stepped on the void, and appeared before the wild wolf like a ghost, delivering a fierce kick to its head.
"Boom!"
The wild wolf's head suddenly sank down, crashing hard into the ground. The earth shattered, and Long Chen forcefully kicked out a large pit.
The wild wolf no longer had its former might, replaced by endless terror. Its body trembled uncontrollably because Long Chen was now surrounded by blood energy, his dragon might erupting, making it too afraid to move.
"If you weren't a wolf, you'd already be a corpse." Long Chen stood atop the wild wolf's head and said coldly.
As he spoke, Long Chen walked down from the wild wolf's head. Long Chen was right—if any other magical beast attacked him, Long Chen would never hold back.
But seeing this wild wolf, Long Chen thought of Xiaoxue. Even if it attacked Long Chen first, it would be hard for him to take it down.
The wild wolf trembled terribly at Long Chen's aura, not daring to move at all, lying there obediently.
Long Chen looked toward the territory guarded by the wild wolf, where a strange tree over ten zhang tall stood. Its leaves were long and narrow like curved blades, bearing more than a dozen fruits.
The fruit contained powerful wind energy, but it wasn't ripe yet and couldn't be used as medicine. Long Chen directly took a branch from the tree and moved it into the chaotic space. After finding it quickly root, he left immediately.
The wild wolf thought it was doomed, or that Long Chen would take all the fruit, but unexpectedly, Long Chen only took a section of the branch. After Long Chen left, it stared at Long Chen's back, stunned in place.
"Whew"
When Long Chen arrived at a treasured spot in Armadillo's memories, he found the entire mountain covered in bloodstains, clearly from a bloody battle, and some severed limbs could still be faintly seen.
However, judging by the fluctuations in blood energy, the attacker was not human, and the living beings guarding the area had disappeared. However, judging from the battlefield traces, they were not killed but rather escaped.
Long Chen arrived at the core area and found a deep pit in the ground. Clearly, the treasure had been dug up.
However, the marks of the crater were extremely chaotic. It was clear that after a bloody battle, although these powerful figures had driven away the guardian being, they themselves had paid a terrifying price.
This group must have suffered heavy casualties, fearing a double-crossing attack. In their haste, they snatched the treasure and fled immediately, not daring to linger.
Long Chen crouched in the pit, searching the soil. When he found a root about the thickness of a pinky finger in the soil, a smile appeared on his face as he tossed it into the chaotic space. Soon, it sprouted tender shoots.
Although Long Chen hadn't obtained the complete treasure, nor even seen what it looked like, having this root was no different from obtaining a complete treasure.
Here, there's no need for any knowledge of distinguishing things; wherever there are living beings guarding it, there will definitely be rare treasures.
"Damn humans, hand over the treasure, and we might consider leaving you with a whole corpse."
Just as Long Chen was about to leave, a large horde of murderous beings surrounded him tightly.
