Yue Yang walked through the underground anthole for a long time, but he still hasn't reached the place marked with a volcano.
Of course, his speed could have been faster, but the anthole that was more labyrinthine than the maze made Yue Yang feel dizzy and confused. What made Yue Yang Khan die the most was that many of the marks left by those mercenaries along the way were repetitive and wrong, taking many wrong paths. Yue Yang didn't care about time, but he was afraid that Yue Bing would be worried if he waited outside for a long time. She must not venture in to find herself, otherwise it would be dangerous.
In the underground world, I don't know how long I walked.
Finally, after hearing the sound of gurgling water, a dark underground river appeared in front of Yue Yang.
According to the map, Yue Yang went upstream on the shallow river bed and walked for nearly half an hour before he found the traces left by the mercenaries on the rock wall.
Leaving the river bed, entering a small cave, and advancing hundreds of meters, he found that the heat had increased significantly, and the air was also filled with the smell of sulfur. Yue Yang stepped out of the small cave at a faster speed, and found that in front of him was a very large underground world.
In the distance, there is a low lava volcano, still exuding blazing heat.
Below the hill, there is a slightly steaming hot spring lake. On the surface of the lake, there are many small islets in the shape of an island chain, with various strange plants growing on them. vitality? Yue Yang has read the book, the dragon fruit with a hard shell is completely different from the common dragon fruit in the desert. Its leaves are thinner and harder, and they are dark green, as hard as a steel plate. They penetrate from the shore and go deep into the hot spring At the bottom, it absorbs the energy of the earth to store the fruit, and it will take thousands of years to surface. At that time, the hard-shelled dragon fruit will gradually detach and start a new reproduction... Usually it is impossible to pick the hard-shelled dragon fruit. The only time is to wait for it When it is ripe, use special medicine scissors to cut it off.
Shuanglong scissors is a kind of medicine scissors, and it is the signature of the foundry master Jiang's family.
There are many plants in the world that cannot be cut by swords, such as obsidian dianthus, iron-skeleton star grass, hard-shelled dragon fruit, etc., are all invulnerable to swords.
But a small pair of Ssangyong scissors can easily cut them off...
Of course, the great casting masters of the Jiang family will never deny that although it was designed by their ancestor Jiang Qiaoer, the first Ssangyong scissors was made by Yue Gong, a ghostly talent of the Yue family. This pair of dragon scissors is the love gift given to Jiang Qiaoer by the ghostly Yue Gong. The original function is not to collect herbs, but to be a female celebrity planting scissors. Yue Gong and Jiang Qiaoer were the most talented people in the world, but because they were both weak and sick, they didn't even have time to get married, so they both died young. However, their touching love story has been passed down for hundreds of years.
The Jiang family, the great master of casting, engraved the words "ingenious workmanship" on each of the molded Ssangyong scissors to commemorate the ancestors.
"No wonder you made such small and exquisite scissors, which are so convenient for MMs to use!" Yue Yang picked up the scissors with his big hand, and felt that the Ssangyong scissors were very small. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that this was specially designed by the ghostly Yue Gong for Jiang Qiaoer's small hands, but he didn't know the great master of casting Jiang Family, why not improve it and make it bigger
After searching the entire hot spring lake, Yue Yang found that there were two hard-shelled pitayas at the bottom of the lake.
But none mature.
Yue Yang frowned slightly, he discovered that there were two other different notches, could it be that someone had already made it before him
This notch is completely different from the one that animals devour and chew with their teeth, and it is also different from the notch of Ssangyong's scissors, which proves that someone has been there, and the mercenaries know nothing about it. Yue Yang discovered even more suspicious points, the mercenaries heard the roar of the dragon, but now, they have searched the entire hot spring lake and crater, and found no trace of the dragon. The only suspicious thing is that the gold hunter found some kind of energy in the water, but it is dissipating...
Did a big battle happen in the water here
Who the hell knows that there is a hard-shelled dragon fruit under the anthole, and also knows that it is just ripe, so come here to pick it
Where did the 'dragon' who was guarding the dragon fruit with a hard shell go
For a moment, Yue Yang was full of doubts. There must be something wrong with him, but he couldn't think of what it was. Just as Yue Yang was sorting out the clues and thinking carefully, suddenly, a black figure appeared silently behind Yue Yang, and asked with a unique magnetic voice: "Are you looking for me?"
"Huh?" Yue Yang was shocked.
He has never tried to let the enemy approach less than five meters behind him, but he still has no feeling in his heart.
Who is this man
When he suppressed the shock in his heart, he looked back and found that there was nothing behind him, and there was no sign of anyone's existence, as if the words just now were his own illusion. Yue Yang's body froze, he didn't use his eyes, but he could feel that the enemy was behind him, and he stretched out a hand close to the back of his head. If he moved a little, that hand might explode and shatter the back of his head...
A cold sweat slipped down from Yue Yang's forehead.
This person was really the strongest enemy he had encountered for the first time in his life.
"Are you scared?" The man's voice was full of contempt, as if teasing a small bug.
"You, who are you?" Yue Yang turned around quickly, and found a middle-aged man in front of him who was tall, imposing, and mighty like a god. Looking at himself, there was another shock in his heart.
This strange middle-aged man is definitely not under Jun Wuyou in any aspect.
Moreover, his murderous intention is hidden deeper.
The middle-aged man frowned slightly after hearing Yue Yang's rhetorical question: "You dare not know me?"
Yue Yang sweats profusely, is this guy the father Yue Qiu who died in the legend of the cup boy? No, others say that the ugly man looks like his father, and Yue Qiu shouldn't be like this... This guy is the ugly man's uncle? Or other relatives? Or the murderer of the muggy man? For a moment, Yue Yang's heart was like lightning, and countless thoughts came to the bottom of his heart, but none of them could be confirmed. But Yue Yang can be sure that this man has hidden deep murderous intentions towards him, no matter what his identity is, he is an enemy and not a friend!
"Everyone calls me Marquis of Zijin." The middle-aged man called himself Marquis of Zijin.
"What?" Yue Yang turned pale with shock when he heard it.
In the three kingdoms of Daxia, Tianluo, and Zijin, there are countless strong people. No matter the emperor of Daxia, Jun Wuyou, the emperor of Tianluo, Hua Xuri, or the emperor of Zijin, Chu Tianxiao, they are all strongmen above the seventh-level overlord, and their own strength is very terrifying. , It can completely deter all parties.
Among the royal family, the three emperors' military strength was almost unmatched by anyone.
However, the only exception is Marquis Zijin in front of Yue Yang, who is recognized by the world as a strong man whose strength ranks above the three emperors.
Thirty years ago, he once challenged his elder brother Zijin Emperor Chu Tianxiao to fight for the Zijin throne... The entire Longteng Continent was shaken, and countless warriors in the world were watching him, and the Zijin Emperor also agreed to this challenge. However, one month before the challenge, the arrogant Zijin Hou was disrespectful to Tianluo Emperor Hua Xuri when he was on an envoy to Tianluo Kingdom. He was seriously injured... Afterwards, Marquis Zijin challenged his elder brother with his injuries, fought hard for three days and three nights, and finally lost.
If it wasn't for the serious injury that hasn't healed, it's hard to say who will win this battle.
Because of this, Zijinhou became famous in the first battle and became the most powerful vassal king in the hearts of the world. Even the Zijin Emperor Chu Tianxiao deliberately set up a seat for his younger brother nine steps under the dragon chair to show his respect for Zijinhou .
Everyone in the world felt that his older brother Chu Tianxiao might be more suitable to be the emperor, but in terms of strength, Marquis Zijin was more powerful.
Marquis Zijin turned out to be the sixth prince of the Zijin Kingdom.
But after the first battle for the throne of Zijin, the emperors of the three countries jointly named him the unique 'Marquis of Zijin' in the world!
Yue Yang doesn't think it's a good thing for such an awesome character to appear in front of him! Especially by the hot spring lake where the dragon fruit with a hard shell grows, meeting such a person... Yue Yang's vigilance reached the limit, he was a little confused whether this guy followed him, or ambushed early. If Marquis Zijin came to snatch the hard-shelled dragon fruit, he should leave after he got it. Why would he stay here
If it came after him, then when did it happen
In an anthole, or just recently
"You heard my name, shouldn't you salute me? Don't say that I am a prince, even if you are a senior, a strong man, you should show due respect, right?" Marquis Zijin said with his unique arrogance. Looking at Yue Yang, his eyes were as sharp as a spear.
"You want to reach out and smash my head when I bow my head to salute!" Yue Yang tried his best to make a natural look. At this time, he must not let the enemy see through his full strength, otherwise it will be dangerous.
"Well, I really think so. I don't want to see a young man who can't see his strength grow up slowly." Zi Jinhou actually nodded and admitted. Before I die, I can give you three choices. You can choose three different ways to die. You can resist, and then my bones and internal organs will be crushed by my heavy hands, and you will die miserably; or you can not resist, and let me kill you instantly. , die without even pain; in the end, you can escape with all your strength, let me catch up, peel your skin and cramps, then soak in this hot spring, and die of pain alive... You think carefully, and if you make a choice, I will do it!"
Yue Yang has never seen such an arrogant person in his life.
He thought he was arrogant, but compared to this Marquis of Zijin, he seemed to be far behind.
My own arrogance is arrogance, I never thought of reasoning, this guy is good, he takes arrogance as a matter of course!
Yue Yang smiled when he heard it: "Can I choose to commit suicide?"
Marquis Zijin ruthlessly shook his head and refused: "Without my permission, it is impossible for you to commit suicide!"
"I don't care if you are Zijinhou or Zijinhou, it's just nonsense to talk about it. Do you think that if you live two years longer, you can control other people's lives carelessly?" Yue Yang raised his middle finger in front of Zijinhou. : "It's okay to pretend, but don't pretend to be a fool!"
"It seems that you have already made a choice!" Zijin Hou was not angry, but asked calmly, "Now, are you ready to die?"
"What about you? Are you ready to die?" Yue Yang asked back.
At the same time, the Ash Demon Blade in his hand slashed out like lightning, and slashed at the face of Marquis Zijin.
The fireworks exploded, shaking the heavens and the earth, the whole underground world trembled because of Yue Yang's slash, the water of the hot spring lake was split into a deep crack by the sword energy, and a two-meter-high wave was set off, spreading to both sides...
But a second later, Yue Yang's eyes froze.
Because he saw that Zi Jinhou's two fingers caught his long-prepared slash.
The powerful and thunderous ashes magic blade, which can completely split gold and crack stones, was caught by Zijinhou's middle finger, unable to penetrate an inch...
