Chapter 461: Missing Again
That golden dragon is not a real dragon, but a condensed true meaning of the Dao inspired by Shi Lin's practice of the dragon clan's kung fu. Moreover, because Shi Lin has been practicing the technique for a short time after all, although the golden dragon already has its shape, it is obviously still in the form of a golden light that seems to be real or illusory. Therefore, when the golden dragon swallowed the golden elixir master in one gulp, he could still see the faint figure struggling in the golden dragon's body.
However, as the figure struggled, it could be faintly seen from the outside that the figure's body was constantly disintegrating, as if turning into light spots and being assimilated into the golden dragon's light. In other words, the Golden Core Grandmaster was being digested by the Golden Dragon, and the speed of digestion was so fast that the figure disappeared completely almost in the blink of an eye.
Originally, a person being swallowed by a golden dragon is actually not that scary, but being able to see a person being digested bit by bit in this way, although the reason is that the golden dragon is not solid enough, is obviously more terrifying than not seeing the process. That Golden Core Grandmaster surnamed Huang stood far outside the gate of the palace, watching his companion being swallowed by the golden dragon, and then watching his companion being digested by the golden dragon, an uncontrollable chill gushed out from the bottom of his heart .
Just now, the golden elixir master surnamed Huang was afraid that Ye Zan would be killed by his companion with a sword, so he sacrificed his flying sword and wanted to stop his companion. But he never expected that before his flying sword flew over, his companion was already digested by the golden dragon. Faced with such a change, especially the horror brought about by his companion being digested by the golden dragon, he only had one word "run" left in his heart.
That's right, it means "run"!
As a casual cultivator, talent is not the most important thing to be able to cultivate all the way to the Golden Core realm. The living environment of casual cultivators is much more difficult than those of sects. All kinds of cultivating resources have to be fought for by themselves, and the process of fighting requires knowing how to assess the situation. In many cases, it is not that you have the courage to risk your life, you will definitely get more benefits than others, and it is more likely that you will really take your own life.
This Golden Core Grandmaster surnamed Huang, when he saw that his companion was swallowed by the golden dragon, he knew that he was definitely not the opponent of the wild boy, or to be precise, he was not the opponent of the golden dragon. Although, he also knew that the other party had such a change, obviously he had obtained some great opportunity, but no matter how great the opportunity was, he had to have his life to take it.
There is no way, looking at the current situation, it is obvious that he cannot take down that kid with his own strength, so he can only find other companions to come with him. Although in this way, the final chance may be shared equally by several people, but it is better than putting one's life on the line. Thinking of this, the golden alchemy master surnamed Huang hurriedly summoned Feijian with a sword formula, and almost at the same time Feijian came back, he turned around and ran towards the distance.
Even though he is a master of golden elixir, if he really walks with the sword, the distance of a thousand meters is just the blink of an eye. But, don't forget, there are restrictions everywhere in the Dragon Palace. The Golden Core Grandmaster surnamed Huang wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible, but under the influence of those restrictions, he couldn't run much faster than a mortal.
Looking at the palace again, the golden dragon digested the golden elixir master surnamed Wan, circled over the palace, and then swooped down towards the stone forest below. Shi Lin stood on the ground, still in an unconscious state, but he started to face the swooping golden dragon, and opened his mouth to let out a roar like a dragon's chant. Seeing that Daoyi Golden Dragon, while falling, its body size became smaller and smaller, and it rushed into Shi Lin's mouth all at once.
Immediately afterwards, a loud "boom" was heard, and for a moment it seemed as if the sun had fallen into the palace, and infinite golden light filled the entire palace. When the golden light faded, he looked at the stone forest standing there, surrounded by golden flames, as if wearing a suit of armor. At the same time, a terrifying aura emanated from Shi Lin, as if he had transformed into a ferocious beast from ancient times.
At this time, the golden elixir master surnamed Huang hadn't run a few hundred meters away due to the restriction outside the palace. And Shi Lin, who was surrounded by golden flames, turned his head to look outside the palace blankly, but there was a cruel and strange smile on his face.
Then Shi Lin raised his right arm, bent his fingers into claws, and grabbed the figure who was hundreds of meters away from the gate of the palace. Immediately, the golden elixir master, who was under the restriction and tried his best to leave, escaped all the influence of the restriction, and shot back to the palace like a sharp arrow.
There was a "poof".
The golden elixir master surnamed Huang looked down, but saw a small hand wrapped in golden flames protruding from his dantian, holding a golden elixir in his hand. Is that my golden elixir? The golden alchemy master surnamed Huang only felt that his whole body had no more strength, and the eyelids of his eyes were unprecedentedly heavy. Finally, with his eyes closed, his consciousness also returned to the endless darkness.
Following the death of the Golden Core Grandmaster surnamed Huang, the golden flame exploded on the arm that pierced through his dantian, covering the entire body in an instant. Under the cover of the golden flame, the corpse, and the golden pill in his hand, disintegrated into countless particles like being digested by the golden dragon, and merged into the golden flame.
Seeing this scene, even Ye Zan was startled, and really couldn't figure out what happened to Shi Lin. Of course Ye Zan knew that there was something wrong with the cultivation techniques of the Dragon Clan, but the situation in Shilin was obviously not caused by this reason. After all, if the Dragon Clan started to cultivate, there would be obvious problems, then the ancient fairy court would really treat the Dragon Clan as fools.
Another possibility is the changes caused by practicing the Dragon Clan's skills in person. After all, the difference between the human race and the dragon race is too great, and it is difficult to say what kind of consequences the conflict between these species will cause. However, when Shi Lin killed the second Golden Core Grandmaster, what was the strange expression on his face? Could it be that not only his body would mutate, but his spirit would also mutate?
It's a pity that Ye Zan can't rush to Shi Lin's side now, and it's impossible to give Shi Lin a detailed physical examination, everything can only be guesswork.
At this time, the Golden Core Grandmaster surnamed Huang had completely disappeared in the golden flames. As for Shi Lin, it was as if nothing had happened, and the expression on his face returned to calm. He turned around and walked towards the stone tablet. One step, two steps, three steps... Finally, he stepped into the stele with one step, as if the stele was just a holographic image. But the stone forest didn't come out from the other side, but with another step, the figure completely disappeared into the stone tablet.
After a while, two figures appeared in front of the gate of the palace, with flying swords hanging beside them, and stepped cautiously into the gate of the palace with full faces.
"Zhang Daoyou, this is Wan Daoyou's flying sword." One of the golden core masters found the flying sword that was broken by the golden dragon shadow in the palace, and immediately said to his companions who were on guard.
"There's also fellow Huang Daoist." The Golden Core Grandmaster surnamed Zhang who was in charge of guarding came over with another flying sword in his hand.
Of the two flying swords, one was broken and the other looked intact. However, the owners of these two flying swords did not know where they all went. Although, unlike a sword cultivator, there is no such thing as the death of a sword, but for a casual cultivator, a flying sword cannot be easily discarded, for no other reason, but because of the word "poor".
But now, two flying swords were abandoned here, and one of them was completely useless. Obviously, their two companions must have encountered a strong enemy here. Although no corpses were seen, not even obvious bloodstains, but I'm afraid it's all bad luck.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, do you think there is any mystery in this stele?" the Golden Core Grandmaster surnamed Zhang said standing in front of the stele. In fact, from the moment they entered the palace, they noticed this stone tablet placed in the middle of the palace. After all, although the stele was not very tall, it stood so abruptly in the center of the palace that it was hard not to notice it.
"What kind of writing is on this stele, I don't seem to have seen it before." Jin Dan Grandmaster surnamed Luo touched his chin, looked at the stele with a puzzled face and said.
"Where is this place?" The Golden Core Grandmaster surnamed Zhang asked a seemingly silly question.
"Dragon Palace, isn't it written on the outside!" The Golden Core Grandmaster surnamed Luo was full of strangeness, he glanced at his companion like an idiot, but then he reacted, staring at the stone tablet in surprise, and said: "Is it true? Say, is the text on it the fairy court text from ancient times?"
Of course, the dragons also have characters, but the characteristics of the characters of the dragons are more obvious. Even if no one can translate the characters of the dragons, they still know what the characters of the dragons are like. As for the writing on the stone tablet in front of him, judging from the cognition of the two Jindan masters, it is obviously not the writing of the Dragon Clan, so there is only one possibility left. Everyone knows that the ancient fairy court has a history of subordinating the kings of the dragon clan, so the characters that appear in this dragon palace, apart from the dragon clan's own characters, are naturally only the characters of the fairy court.
"Is it the inheritance of the Dragon Clan, or some kind of Taoism of the Immortal Family?" The Jindan Grandmaster surnamed Luo looked at the words above with great eagerness, as if he wanted to engrave the contents in his mind. Although, he didn't know what the words written on it meant, but who knew that in this world, no one could translate them.
"Bring it down and take it away, it can be regarded as an explanation for this matter." The Golden Core Grandmaster surnamed Zhang spoke, and began to take things out of the treasure bag. If you don't know the meaning of the inscription, it is difficult to memorize it, and it is not easy to move the stele directly. If any restrictions are triggered, it will be troublesome. Therefore, the easiest way is to rub down the inscriptions with paper and ink.
The treasure bag of casual cultivators is the real treasure bag, it really has everything in it. After all, casual cultivators are looking for opportunities everywhere, and they will always encounter various situations. If they miss the opportunity because they did not bring the necessary things with them, it will definitely make people vomit blood with regret. Moreover, Sanxiu doesn't trust other people very much, and likes to carry everything with him, so almost all of his wealth will be put in the treasure bag.
The Jindan Grandmaster surnamed Zhang took out the rubbings of the inscription and immediately started working on the stele. However, there is nothing complicated about rubbing the inscription, so the rubbing of the inscription was quickly printed. However, just when he was about to roll up and put away the paper with the inscription on it full of joy, he suddenly felt a huge pain coming from his back, and a flying sword protruded from his chest.
"You..." The Jindan Grandmaster surnamed Zhang turned around with difficulty, and looked at his companion. There were only two of them in the palace, and the sword was obviously the opponent's hand.
The Jindan Grandmaster surnamed Luo didn't have a trace of shame on his face. Instead, he said with a bit of pride, "Daoyou Zhang, I'm really sorry, I have never had the habit of sharing opportunities with others, so this inscription is still a give it to me."
Why do you say it is not easy for casual cultivators to survive? Stabbing in the back like this is really not uncommon for casual cultivators. It's not that no matter what the benefits are, people will make people do this kind of thing. The key is to see if the temptation is big enough. Apparently, in the eyes of the Jindan Grandmaster surnamed Luo, the inscription written in the ancient fairy court script is enough for him to attack his companions.
In fact, the Golden Core Grandmaster surnamed Zhang, doesn't he have other ideas? Really just thinking about rubbing this inscription, and then obediently taking it back to the organization? He just didn't have time to do it yet, in fact, he might not have other plans in mind. This is the so-called "strike first to be strong, and strike later to suffer disaster". The Jindan Grandmaster surnamed Luo chose to strike first, and this inscription will only belong to him.
"Don't worry Zhang Daoyou. The other fellow Daoists must not have gone far. You won't be lonely on the road to Huangquan." The golden alchemy master surnamed Luo said this, and the sword formula in his hand changed accordingly. The flying sword on the opponent's chest immediately exploded with dazzling sword light, cutting the opponent's body in two pieces. As a casual cultivator, he knew very well what the other party would do at this time, so he would not give the other party a chance to explode his golden core.
After beheading his companion, the Golden Core Grandmaster surnamed Luo put away the inscription rubbed by the other party, and then took the other party's treasure bag. After all, in the treasure bag, there is likely to be the entire net worth of the Jindan Grandmaster surnamed Zhang. Although it is not a great wealth, mosquito legs are also meat.
The Golden Core Master surnamed Luo did not stay in this palace for a long time after all this was done. After all, the stone forest is obviously not here, not to mention there may be masters hiding in the dark. In his opinion, getting this inscription is enough, and he doesn't want to support himself to death with as much food as he has in his stomach.
At the same time that Luo's Jindan Grandmaster was walking towards the outside of the Dragon Palace, Ye Zan had already let the detector out of the Dragon Palace. The stone forest has disappeared, the Dragon Palace has obviously been moved very clean, and the detectors left here are of no use. The detector flew to the square outside the Dragon Palace, connected with the detector on the dome, and was then recovered by the shuttle into the cabin.
"Qianjun, when the shuttle comes out, you can drive the shuttle back to the sect." Ye Zan also sent a message to Qi Qianjun who was waiting by the lake.
Hearing Ye Zan's message, Qi Qianjun was startled, and quickly asked, "Uncle Shi, what about Junior Brother Shi?"
"Your junior brother Shi has a chance, you don't have to worry." Ye Zan said helplessly. He was really helpless, Shi Lin was his apprentice, but now he couldn't do anything for Shi Lin at all, everything could only depend on Shi Lin's own luck.
