Roar!
Not long after, the golden crocodile let out a deafening roar. However, this time, the roar was laced with pain.
At this moment, the golden crocodile was being entangled by the ancient tree's branches. It struggled madly as though it was being tortured by something inhumane. However, no matter how hard it tried, it could not break free from the ancient tree's shackles.
Moreover, the golden crocodile's body was shrinking at a terrifying speed. At the same time, the ancient tree's branches were frantically extracting the energy from the golden crocodile's body.
Five hundred feet, three hundred feet, ten feet, five feet …
Under everyone's astonished gazes, the golden crocodile's life force kept draining away. Its body became smaller and smaller, and in the end, it became a shriveled crocodile skin.
"It's dead. That big golden crocodile is dead!"
"That Bodhi Tree saved us!"
"I don't know if it can understand us. It would be better if it could send us back to Earth."
"Our crisis is not over yet. Those small crocodiles are still here."
…
Everyone looked at the scene in the sky. Their faces were filled with excitement at first, but when they looked at the hundreds of small crocodiles around them, a worried expression appeared on their faces again.
However, to their surprise, the small crocodiles did not attack them again. Instead, they were staring at the ancient tree in the sky with their beady eyes. There was fear in their eyes.
Swish!
Swish! Just as the small crocodiles were about to escape, the ancient tree swayed its branches, and slender branches swept over. Each branch brought with it a sharp, ear-piercing sound. Along with it, the small crocodiles turned into wisps of black mist and dissipated.
Seeing that the small crocodiles around them had been cleared away by the ancient tree, everyone cheered, "This time, the crisis is really over!"
Then, one by one, they put their palms together and prayed devoutly. They were all praying for the tree to send them back to Earth.
Swish!
The Bodhi Ancient Tree swayed its branches again. With a buzzing sound, it suddenly turned into a dazzling ball of golden light.
"The Bodhi Ancient Tree disappeared!"
"There seems to be someone in the golden light!"
"Is it Shakyamuni? It's him. It must be him! "
…
Within the dazzling ball of light, a figure faintly appeared.
The figure was shrouded in dazzling golden light, as if he had put on a thick layer of golden armor. It was extremely dazzling, as if a golden divine fire was burning. It was very imposing, as if a god had come to the mortal world.
Seeing this figure appear, Lin Jia, Li Xiaoman, and the others were instantly overjoyed, their eyes filled with excitement.
As far as they knew, anyone who had anything to do with Buddha was a good person. They were saints who saved all living beings and saved them from danger.
However, as the golden light flashed, the appearance of the figure gradually became clearer.
Almost at the same time, Ye Fan, Lin Jia, Pang Bo, and everyone else's expressions changed. Curiosity, anticipation, surprise, shock, and finally, their expressions stiffened!
"Con … con artist!"
A chorus of surprised exclamations reverberated throughout the world.
At this moment, the expressions of Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the others froze as if they had been struck by lightning. They stared blankly at Chu Bei as if they had lost their souls.
Their mouths were wide open, and they were dumbfounded. Their brains seemed to have lost their ability to command, and they stood motionless like wooden blocks.
The appearance of the deity-like figure was too sudden and unexpected, and they were all caught off guard!
"No … Impossible, my eyes must be playing tricks on me!"
"How could it be him? Didn't he get dragged into this place with us? "
"I knew this con artist was abnormal and full of mysteries. Now it seems that he really has many secrets!"
"Could it be, could it be that he is Sakyamuni?"
"It can't be, aren't Buddhas all fat and bald?"
…
Pang Bo, Lin Jia, and the others reacted one after another. They gasped and stared at Chu Bei, who was slowly descending, in shock.
"Who the hell are you? No, are you still human? Is the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin related to you? Were you the one who brought us here? Is all of this related to you? What have you done to us? "
Ye Fan could no longer treat the mysterious man in front of him as the con artist who had tried to sell him the ring on the mountain. His eyes were full of fear.
"Little brother, don't look at me like that."
Chu Bei took a step forward and instantly crossed several dozen meters to appear beside Ye Fan. He patted Ye Fan's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's not just you. Everyone here has been chosen by the heavens. A great opportunity is waiting for you, and this opportunity is the final destination of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. "
At this point, Chu Bei glanced at Lin Jia, Li Xiaoman, and the others. "If you can seize this opportunity, not only will you be able to return to Earth, but you will also become as powerful as those in your myths and legends."
He was also shocked by the power displayed by the Bodhi Tree. Even the powerful crocodile ancestor was no match for it.
As for the withered Bodhi Tree, after it was obtained by the other party, he did not hear the System's notification that his cultivation speed had increased.
Obviously, from the System's point of view, it did not count as his gain.
"Even if the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin has nothing to do with you, you still haven't told us who you are! We don't believe that you are that Shakyamuni Buddha. Your clothes don't look like one at all, "Pang Bo stepped forward and said.
"Of course I'm not Shakyamuni."
Chu Bei smiled knowingly and then waved his hand. His robe fluttered even though there was no wind. He said, "I'm a businessman who travels the sea of stars and the heavens. You can call me Boss Chu."
"Travel the sea of stars? Do you think you are a deity? "Li Xiaoman looked at Chu Bei suspiciously. The others were also in disbelief.
"After everything you have experienced, do you still believe in the so-called science of Earth?"
Chu Bei asked and smiled. "As for whether there are deities or not, you can find out the answer yourself in the future."
"Con artist … No, deity, since you are so powerful, can you send us back to Earth first?" Ye Fan immediately said.
"You have been chosen by the Heavens. This is an irreversible path. There are only two choices in front of you. One is to die here, and the other is to return to the Ancient Bronze Coffin and seek the opportunity that belongs to you. "
Chu Bei glanced at Ye Fan. Everyone here could return to Earth except him. After all, his "ruthless sister" was still waiting for him.
"Whether he is telling the truth or not, we can't stay here any longer. Let's return to the Ancient Bronze Coffin first. "
Li Xiaoman's lips moved slightly. Everyone nodded in agreement and then hurriedly ran toward the Ancient Bronze Coffin.
"Little brother, we are fated to meet. Are you going to drip your blood on this ring? If you do, you will be my proxy and will be under my protection. "Chu Bei pulled Ye Fan and took out the proxy ring again.
"Why did you choose me out of so many people? Why are we fated to meet? "
Ye Fan was still not in a hurry to take the proxy ring. He looked at Chu Bei warily.
"Because you are different from them."
Chu Bei said calmly. He really wanted to beat up the main character in front of him. Was it so difficult to drip his blood on a ring?
Thinking about Xiao Yan and Tang San, it was so easy to become a proxy!
"Different? What's the difference? "Ye Fan asked.
"Forget it, let's go to the coffin first." Chu Bei shook his head and sighed. The other party was too cautious. He was difficult to deal with!
Everyone returned to the Ancient Bronze Coffin one after another.
Time passed by. Nine loud dragon roars resounded through the sky. The Ancient Bronze Coffin was pulled by the nine dragon corpses and set off again.
Chu Bei sat cross-legged and examined the Bodhi Ancient Tree in his Sea of Consciousness. Perhaps it had swallowed the withered Bodhi Ancient Tree in front of the Great Thunderclap Temple, or perhaps it had swallowed the crocodile ancestor, but the Bodhi Ancient Tree's branches and leaves had become greener. However, it was motionless at the moment, as if it was in a state of deep sleep.
As for Ye Fan, Lin Jia, and the others, they gathered around Chu Bei. Their eyes were wide open as they curiously sized up the so-called All-Heavens Merchant who traveled through the universe.
"If you have the time to study me, why don't you study the carvings on the bronze wall and look at the ancient words? Studying them is far more useful than studying me. "Chu Bei's mocking gaze swept over everyone, a playful look on his face.
Hearing that, everyone stood up and looked at the carvings around them again.
"Ye Fan, come and look. The starry sky carvings are flashing!" A female student noticed that something was wrong and immediately shouted.
Hearing the voice, the crowd immediately gathered around the female student. The picture in front of him was the largest of them all. It was a picture of a vast starry sky. At this moment, all the stars on it were shining brightly.
"This line is flashing. Could it be the path that the nine dragons pulling the coffin took us?" Pang Bo guessed.
"These seven stars are exceptionally bright. Look at their layout. It seems to be the Big Dipper."
Looking at the end of the flashing line, Ye Fan tilted his head and looked at Chu Bei who was sitting cross-legged not far away. "Could the Big Dipper Constellation be the destination of this bronze coffin?"
"I guess so." Chu Bei nodded his head noncommittally.
Rumble!
Not long after, the bronze coffin shook violently again. It was as if the heavens and earth were shaking.
At the same time, the light on the vast star map finally stopped at the Big Dipper Constellation.
"We seem to have reached the destination. Could it really be the Big Dipper Constellation?"
"What kind of place is the Big Dipper Constellation? Could it be the legendary Celestial Realm? "
"Could it be that this is a world of cultivation, just like in the novels? We didn't cross over physically or spiritually. Instead, we were brought here by the Ancient Bronze Coffin. "
"Now that you've mentioned it, it seems like this is a great opportunity. Could it be that we'll all be like the main characters in the novels? Exuding a domineering aura all the way to the peak of life! "
…
Unknowingly, the atmosphere in the Ancient Bronze Coffin became lively.
On the other hand, Chu Bei could not help but raise the corners of his mouth into a smile when he heard these fellows' complaints. These fellows were really big-hearted idiots.
