Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Chapter 182 The Second Divine Stone

"Everyone be careful, this is the Centipede King!"

Bixi led everyone back, and Longqing and Longsha split into two groups, ready to meet the enemy. The real dragon took off into the air as the centipede emerged, hiding under the dark clouds.

The centipede king was tens of meters long, covered in a thick carapace that shimmered with a green light. Its head had a pair of enormous antennae that fluttered constantly, as if sensing its surroundings. Numerous pairs of legs moved rapidly across the ground, stirring up clouds of dust.

Long Qing and Long Sha exchanged a glance, unleashing their unique skills simultaneously. Long Qing blasted a stream of blazing flames from his mouth, charging straight at the Centipede King. Meanwhile, Long Sha swung his claws, unleashing a fierce sword energy.

The centipede king felt threatened, opened its mouth, and let out a shrill cry. Then, countless small centipedes emerged from its body and rushed towards the crowd like a tide.

Everyone hurriedly cast spells to resist, but the small centipedes were so numerous that they kept pouring in. Seeing this, Bixi formed seals with her hands and cast the earth-based spell she had learned from Wushuang, building an earth wall in front of everyone and temporarily resisting the attack of the small centipedes.

However, the earthen wall could only hold out for a moment before it was quickly gnawed through by the tiny centipedes. Just then, a true dragon descended from the sky, spewing blazing flames from its mouth, incinerating the tiny centipedes to incineration. Seeing the situation was dire, the centipede king turned and attempted to flee.

How could Long Qing and Long Sha let it go? They attacked from both sides, launching a joint attack. Several of the little ones cooperated with Yun Fei and He Shan to effortlessly chop off its legs! In the end, the centipede king was killed.

After the battle, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, they discovered a strange aura permeating the nearby mountains and forests...

"Senior Zhenlong, the forest ahead is so strange. These two centipedes seem to be just appetizers. There are greater dangers waiting for us ahead!"

"I, an old man, have not left the barrier for thousands of years. I didn't expect the outside world to be full of evil spirits. Now I am out of date and I am just an old man. Young man, I listen to you! You make the decision!"

"Senior, you are too modest. I will definitely give it my all!"

Bixi respectfully replied to Zhenlong's words, knowing in her heart that the senior was just being polite. In Guiyuan and Huncao's memories, this senior brother was no weakling.

"Long Qing, Long Sha, you two go explore the way first. Remember, you must go one in front and one behind. If something happens to the people in front, the ones behind will be too late to support them, or they will not be able to support them. Call for reinforcements quickly, don't rush in recklessly. Your own lives are the most important, understand!"

Seeing that Bixi was so serious, Long Qing and Long Sha knew that the road ahead was full of dangers, but they were not afraid.

"Don't worry, we won't embarrass ourselves!" The two of them took the lead and walked towards the forest ahead, while Bixi led the others to follow a little behind! Everyone looked around cautiously!

Not long after Long Qing and Long Sha entered the forest, they felt a chilly wind blowing. They looked around warily and saw a pile of shrunken corpses hanging from the branches in front of them.

Suddenly, a massive black hand emerged from the ground and grabbed Longsha's ankle. Longsha struggled, but couldn't break free. Seeing this, Longqing rushed to help, but the black hand was so powerful that it dragged them both underground.

Bixi and the others heard the noise and rushed over. They saw a big hole in the ground, which was pitch black and led to nowhere.

"Oh no! They must be in danger." Bixi said, "We can't move forward rashly. We have to think of a way."

Just then, a melodious flute sound echoed throughout the forest. The sound was sometimes mournful, sometimes passionate, refreshing and soothing. Only Bixi and the other children knew it. Mona had arrived!

Bixi was delighted and shouted to the others, "Everyone, don't move. My partner and brother are here."

Before he finished speaking, a beautiful figure descended from the sky and stood in front of everyone.

Mona held a flute in her hand, her beautiful eyes looking around, finally landing on Bixi, and she smiled slightly. Her arrival instantly eased the tense atmosphere.

"Na, why are you here?" Bixi walked forward, put her arms around Na's waist, her eyes full of joy.

Mona gently stroked the flute in her hand and smiled, "I sensed that you had trouble in the polar vortex, so I asked the giant whale leader to help send us here. As soon as we arrived on this continent, we noticed a strange aura, so we followed you all the way here to take a look. But it seems that you have encountered some trouble."

Bixi nodded and told Mona what had happened. After listening, Mona pondered for a moment, then pointed to the big hole in front and said:

"Then let's go down and find out. But everyone, be careful, there may be unknown dangers hidden down there."

"Wait, little female, don't be willful!" A real dragon appeared and stood next to Mona.

Mona looked him over and said, "Senior! What's this?"

"Na, he is Elder Guiyuan and Soul Grass's eldest brother, Senior Zhenlong!"

Mona was even more surprised and excitedly grabbed Zhenlong's hand.

"Senior, please wait a moment. Soul Grass and Gui Yuan will be here soon!"

Joy flashed in the True Dragon's eyes. If it weren't for his character, he would have jumped three feet high! Not long after, footsteps were heard from outside the forest, and two figures descended from the sky. Huncao and Guiyuan burst into tears upon seeing the True Dragon.

"Brother!"

"It's really you, Brother!"

Zhenlong also shed tears and hugged the two of them tightly.

"Okay, stop crying. We'll get together later. Or you can hurry up and find Long Qing. Long Sha is important." Mona reminded.

Everyone gathered their composure and entered the cave. It was dark and deep, filled with a lingering stench of decay. They moved forward cautiously, alert to everything around them.

Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in front of them, and a divine stone emitting a powerful aura appeared before their eyes. Everyone was shocked. This was the divine stone they had been searching for.

However, the artifact seemed to have its own consciousness. It flickered with light and seemed to be testing everyone.

"This divine stone has developed intelligence and is testing us. Everyone must be careful!"

The True Dragon reminded everyone, tightening his grip on the Divine Stone in his palm and swallowing dryly.

"They're both divine stones. Mine is as black as charcoal and shaped like a finger. And the other one, it's full of intelligence and even has its own aura! What a rip-off!"
