"Good brother, are you kidding? If my sister is so powerful, why would she be caught here to do hard labor?" Ye Manjiao smiled, her eyes flickering slightly.
"Senior Sister Ye Man, were you really captured and brought to this ancient Immortal Crystal Mountain to work as a coolie?"
Chu Chen calmly continued his excavation work.
"Of course it's true. What's there to lie about, sister?" Ye Man's smile was a little unnatural.
"Well, I always feel that Senior Sister Ye Man's true strength is limited for some reason, even when she is not wearing crystal cuffs."
"Which... there is no such thing. My strength is only half of Tianhe. Let's not talk about it."
Ye Man chuckled and forcibly changed the topic, "By the way, good brother, how did you discover the secret of this earth energy node?"
Chu Chen actually noticed that she said "just half a step to Tianhe", which was obviously the tone of a strong person, but since she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't expose her.
"Senior Sister Ye Man, I discovered this secret by chance."
After Chu Chen responded lightly, he turned back to look at the monks, "I think you have heard it. If you are willing, use this method. It can save a lot of effort."
Only then did Ye Man realize that Chu Chen was explaining to her on the surface, but in fact he was taking the opportunity to teach everyone to improve the efficiency of the team.
This guy is really awesome, he gets things done calmly and calmly.
The monks around him all followed the method taught by Chu Chen and began to sense the location of the torrent of earth energy.
Sure enough, after sensing which earth energy nodes, everyone's digging speed suddenly accelerated.
Large areas of thick black soil were dug up.
As time passed, the speed of digging increased greatly, and more and more of the strange black rocks at the bottom of the pit were exposed.
In fact, the monks were getting more and more frightened!
The black stone became thicker the deeper it was excavated. After a full week, the stone dug out was already a hundred feet high.
Everyone finally saw the true face of this black stone.
It turned out to be a black horn!
It is impossible to describe the majesty of this horn, which is hundreds of feet tall, has a flat head and a slightly curved shape.
This horn looks like a cow's horn as a whole, but there are some strange branches on it, making the whole horn look like a huge rune, containing strange secret power.
When the entire black horn appeared in front of everyone, even Chu Chen's calm attitude couldn't help but feel shocked.
"What kind of creature's fossilized body is this?"
"One horn alone is over a hundred feet tall. How big must that giant beast be? Even king-level ancient beasts don't have such a size!"
"Maybe it's not a real ancient beast, or maybe it's a huge stone sculpture."
While the monks were speculating, the old man in green robe looked at the huge horns rising to the sky, exhaled a long breath, and gave his own judgment.
"How did senior know?"
Qian Hao seriously asked the old man in green robe for advice.
"I have seen murals of a special kind of ancient beast statues around the ancient stone temples. In those murals, this ancient beast actually feeds on the king beast and has the magical power to swallow the sky and the earth. I doubt that this giant horn I’m afraid it belongs to that ancient giant beast, but it’s hard to tell based on just one horn.”
As the old man in green robe spoke, he glanced at Chu Chen who was already digging in the soil.
So everyone continued to explore the great cause with strong curiosity. It was not until the sun set in the west and the bloody sunset filled the sky that they made new gains.
"Huh? This is... a huge scale!"
When an orthodox monk wearing a blue robe dug out a hoe, he screamed in surprise, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone quickly came to his side, and sure enough they saw a black scale appearing at the bottom of the giant horn.
The scales were pentagonal in shape, about the size of a carriage wheel. The scales were entirely made of stone, covered with layers of mysterious patterns.
"It is indeed a scale. Let's speed up and see what this is!"
The constant discovery of new clues stimulated everyone's curiosity. No one planned to take a break that day. Everyone was digging non-stop in the super giant pit, covered with stars and moon.
The crystal hoe in everyone's hands was waving like a strong wind, and the sound of "ping ping ping ping pong" as the crystal hoe kept digging up the black soil or hitting the black stone continued.
A few days later, after a late night, when the sky was about to dawn, under the pale light of dawn, half of a huge head several hundred feet high had been dug out from the bottom of the huge black horn.
This small half of the head is hundreds of feet long, and the whole head is at least a thousand feet big!
This is no ruins, it is clearly a big mountain!
"This... this is a dragon head!"
A young monk in black who stood a little further away exclaimed in low voice. He was the first to react and was shocked in his heart.
Chu Chen also walked a little further with the crystal hoe in his hand, and found that under the hundred-foot-high horn was a huge and ferocious head. The head looked like some kind of dragon beast, but it was different from the real giant horn. Dragons are very different.
It has only one single eye, its head is slightly triangular, and its mouth is huge. Rows of staggered fangs cover the entire mouth, making it look particularly ferocious.
Its head is covered with scales, but there are sharp bone spurs growing in the middle of the scales.
At first glance, this head seems to combine the characteristics of a dragon and a demon!
"This is not an ordinary giant dragon, but an ancient dragon species that existed in ancient times, the Mountain Swallowing Dragon. It has long since become extinct and only exists in legends."
After all, the old man in green robe was well-informed, and he sighed softly, "What a great gesture. There is such a big sculpture of a mountain-swallowing dragon on an ancient building. This ancient ruin is incredible!"
"The ancient mountain-swallowing ghost dragon?" The young man in black was suspicious, "What kind of dragon is that? I seem to have never heard of it."
"The mountain-swallowing ghost dragon is said to be born from the evil intentions between heaven and earth. Looking at the mural carvings in this crystal gorge, it should be feeding on ancient king-level beasts."
The monks were shocked. Although what they had dug up now was just a statue of a mountain-swallowing dragon, it turned out to be a powerful creature that could feed on king-level ancient beasts.
The meaning contained in this statue is also extraordinary.
Chu Chen was thinking in his mind that maybe the legendary mountain-swallowing ghost dragon could feed on most king-level ancient beasts, but some king-level ancient beasts might not be unable to fight with it.
King-level ancient beasts also have differences in strength. King beasts as powerful as the giant whale in the sky can be defeated by one enemy without any effort.
At this time, the old man in green robe sighed softly again, "It is said that the places where the swallowing mountain ghost dragon exists are places of great danger, and unknown things will definitely happen."
