When he had nothing to do, Dachao's private life was very rich. He went up to the Ninth Heaven to pluck the moon, and went down to the sea to fish for turtles.
It liked the sea more than a pond, and the deeper, the better.
If it wasn't for the fact that the salt content of fish was too high, it would have already fallen in love with the taste of fish.
In less than half a month, it had already swept through the hundreds of kilometers around the Raging Tide City, defeated a massive octopus, and became the overlord of this ocean. Every day, it would summon the wind and summon the rain in this area, looking very awe-inspiring.
Amphibians could live in the water and on the ground, and Big Chao was even more amazing. It could live in the sea, on the ground, and in the air. No one knew how its ancestors had been nurtured, but it could be seen that the ancient civilization's biological research was simply too advanced.
Speaking of which, Big Chao's discovery of the whirlpool at the bottom of the sea was not a coincidence. Rather, it had been tipped off by a certain marine creature, as it had become the new overlord of the sea.
As such, when it brought Shen Lang and Chou Yao'er to the bottom of the sea, a group of marine creatures followed behind them, including the former overlord octopus.
Big Chao dived deeper and deeper. He had never thought that there would be such a deep ravine in this area. It was so deep that he could not see the bottom, and it was so well-hidden that Shen Lang's fleet had not discovered it even after going back and forth hundreds or thousands of times.
Fortunately, he had the Ancient King's Ring, or else he would not have been able to withstand the water pressure at the bottom of the sea.
After diving thousands of meters into the ravine, he saw a massive whirlpool.
Dachao suddenly became excited, because it had already tried passing through this whirlpool, it was very exciting. Of course, this was an extremely dangerous process. If not for Big Chao being so powerful, other marine creatures would not dare to enter.
It was because the whirlpool's devouring power was too great, and once one was devoured, one would not be able to come out.
"Whoosh …"
After entering the whirlpool, they continued to spin and fall, and fall, and fall.
After an unknown period of time, it suddenly reached the end and fell.
There was no longer any seawater here. Instead, there was a very ancient and majestic building, which was most likely a temple.
Shen Lang found that the temple's architecture was quite interesting. Not only did it have the architectural style of the ancient Eastern Empire, but it also had the architectural style of the Lost Kingdom Ruins and the Devil's Triangle.
Moreover, there was still air in the temple, but it was already very thin. Clearly, the energy core here was also about to be exhausted.
Shen Lang scrutinized the temple, trying to determine its age and function.
Once an ancient tomb was discovered on modern Earth, the first thing to do was to determine its era. Although they were all ancient tombs, they were probably built over two thousand years ago.
Just like the secret base where Shen Lang discovered Regret of the Dragon and the ancient ruins of Mt. King Kong, they were from a completely different era.
"It seems like someone has been here before." Chou Yao 'er suddenly said, "Although this person didn't leave anything behind, there are traces of his movements."
Shen Lang's eyes narrowed. Someone had been here?
In other words, this ancient relic had already been discovered? Then why not develop it? Was it because it was too close to Raging Tide City, or was there no value in developing it?
Next, Shen Lang began to search every corner of the temple, trying to find any entrances, secret laboratories, secret warehouses, etc. However, he found nothing.
It was just a lonely temple, and it was empty inside.
However, there was something strange. The ground of the temple and the pillars didn't feel like they were from the same era.
The pillars seemed to be older, but the rocks on the ground were slightly newer. Of course, this was a very subtle feeling.
Then, Shen Lang used his X-ray eyes to scan the ground of the temple very carefully.
In the end, he found some clues in the center of the temple. Under the thick layer of rocks, there seemed to be a trace of a special light.
"Dachao, here." Shen Lang pointed at the ground in the center.
Dachao walked over and began to condense and condense.
When condensed to the extreme, the ultrasonic energy suddenly shot out.
"Bang!" With a loud explosion, a hole was blasted out of the solid rock ground.
Dachao was simply an amazing ultrasonic stone crusher. Using it to dig a tunnel would definitely be amazing.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
The rocks on the ground were really special. Even with Dachao's amazing ultrasonic waves, it took him more than ten times to completely create a huge hole that was three meters deep and three meters wide.
This layer of rock had indeed been created later on. Below it was the real floor of the temple. It was the same age as the pillars, and the energy aura it emitted was similar. Even the sculptures were of the same style.
In the center of the ground in front of them, there was a huge circular door with a diameter of about 30 meters. There was a relief sculpture on the door that looked very familiar. It was a male with a human face and a snake body. It was exactly the same sculpture that they had seen in the temple in the ancient ruins of Mount Jingang.
This door should be the entrance, but it wasn't an energy whirlpool, and there were no hints.
Without saying anything, Dachao directly condensed an ultrasonic wave attack and blasted it.
"Boom!"
With a loud sound, the powerful ultrasonic wave energy slammed into the circular door in the center of the ground. However, it was not damaged at all, and the ultrasonic wave energy even bounced back.
This entrance was indeed amazing. Even Dachao's ultrasonic wave attack was completely useless.
"There's a switch here. It's a circular switch that can be turned," Qiu Yao 'er said. Then, she went forward and turned the switch.
Of course, it couldn't be turned. It couldn't be opened at all.
"You do it," Qiu Yao 'er said.
Shen Lang went forward and turned the circular switch.
It easily turned. It didn't even use a pound of strength.
Shen Lang was surprised. Could it be related to this Ancient King's Ring? So, he turned the circular switch with his left hand, but it was still easily turned.
Shen Lang said, "Why don't you try again?"
Qiu Yao 'er went forward and turned the circular switch again, but it still didn't move.
Then, a huge claw reached over. It was Dachao.
It grabbed the circular switch and used all its strength to turn it.
"Ga …"
But it still didn't move. So, it gave up and walked to the side to sulk.
Shen Lang made another move, and easily turned the circular switch to the end.
"Rumble …" The circular door with a human face and a snake body opened, revealing a deep staircase that seemed bottomless.
Shen Lang couldn't help but become excited.
Perhaps people had come to this temple before, but no one had ever opened the entrance to this ancient ruin. He was the first to open it, which meant that this was an ancient ruin that had never been explored before.
He didn't dare to imagine that there was an ancient ruin so close to Raging Tide City. He had gone back and forth so many times without finding it.
It's all thanks to Dachao. Shen Lang couldn't help but give Dachao a thumbs up.
"Dachao, do you want to come in?" Shen Lang asked.
Dachao suddenly stood up, gathered energy, and began to crazily spit again.
Because it had only spat out a hole that was three meters in diameter, this entrance was 30 meters in diameter. The outside was blocked by a layer of rock, so Dachao's body couldn't enter.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang …" Dozens of ultrasonic waves shot out.
The rock outside shattered, and after a few minutes, the entire entrance appeared in front of them. It was 30 meters in diameter.
Shen Lang, Chou Yao 'er, and Da Chao walked into the entrance of the Primordial Ruins and followed the stairs to the depths of the Primordial Ruins.
After walking for a few thousand meters in the completely dark tunnel, they finally reached the end.
A familiar thing appeared in front of them. It was an energy whirlpool, about 35 meters in diameter.
What was behind this energy whirlpool? Were there treasures? Was there a secret laboratory? A secret warehouse?
I want the Regret of the Dragon, I really need it.
Shen Lang reached out to touch the energy whirlpool, and with a thought, closed!
Immediately, the huge energy whirlpool closed.
This ancient king ring was still so amazing.
Shen Lang closed his eyes, filled with infinite anticipation. There must be treasures behind this energy whirlpool, and very precious ones at that. Maybe there were 100 Regret of the Dragon?
He first prayed in his heart, 100 Regret of the Dragon, 100 Regret of the Dragon.
Then, he opened his eyes, and he couldn't see his fingers in front of him.
He carefully took a step forward and entered the ancient ruin.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, the surroundings lit up, and the pitch-black darkness became as bright as day. Everything inside could be seen clearly.
What … what was this thing?
Shen Lang was completely shocked.
This ancient ruin was completely different from what he had imagined. It wasn't an ancient laboratory, an ancient warehouse, or even a temple.
This … this was a prison?
Because what entered Shen Lang's eyes was a cell, and a tightly shut one at that.
How many cells were there? There were five in total.
The smallest cell was about 100 square meters in area, and four to five meters tall.
The largest cell was tens of thousands of square meters, and 100 meters tall.
And in front of Shen Lang was the smallest prison cell of all.
Why was Shen Lang so sure that this was a prison? Because it was clearly written on it. The first cell had the words Jiang Clan's Traitors' Prison.
Shen Lang couldn't help but look at Qiu Yao 'er, and said, "Yao' er, in a way, we both have the surname Jiang."
Shen Lang arrived in front of the first cell and looked at the inscription on it.
The person locked in here is the greatest shame of my Jiang Dynasty, the greatest traitor of the entire eastern civilization. He was infatuated with the western Medusa's appearance, and told my Eastern Empire's greatest secret to Medusa. He was sentenced to imprisonment for all life, never to be pardoned.
It was the first time Shen Lang had seen such a clear narrative of the ancient civilization.
Moreover, the amount of information within was too great. First, this was indeed the eastern world's prison, and it was the Jiang Dynasty.
What did that mean? The ancient Eastern Empire's imperial family was surnamed Jiang? Where did the Ji Dynasty go?
The cell's door was tightly shut, and it was a cell made of a special type of black rock.
"Dachao, you come!" Shen Lang said.
Dachao condensed his power, then suddenly shot out an ultrasonic wave.
* bang * A huge sound rang out. The ultrasonic wave fiercely smashed into the wall, then … it actually bounced back.
Were the walls of this prison so impressive? Dachao's ultrasonic wave attack was still ineffective?
Dachao was doubting its life. The ultrasonic wave was its greatest pride, but in the end, it couldn't break this, couldn't break that, and now, it couldn't even blast open a small door. What was the point of my ultrasonic wave attack?
Therefore, it directly lay on the ground and buried its head under its chest, feeling sad.
Shen Lang ignored it. Instead, Chou Yao 'er went up and stroked its neck to comfort it.
Shen Lang looked at the cell's door. Locked inside was the greatest traitor of the ancient Jiang Dynasty, and at that time, the ancient Eastern Empire was indeed at war with the Western Lost Empire.
Because the person inside fell in love with a certain Medusa, he betrayed his own race and his own empire. Could it be that he leaked the relevant secrets to the Western Lost Empire?
Shen Lang really wanted to know what the traitor looked like.
Shen Lang didn't do anything. The history of this ancient prison was a bit earlier than the Vajra Peak Ancient Ruins.
According to Shen Lang's understanding, there was a large-scale war between the ancient Eastern World and the Western Lost Empire. In the end, no one knew who won. However, this war shouldn't have a final ending. At least, the ancient Eastern Empire wasn't occupied by the Medusas, because there were no traces of the Medusas in the known ancient ruins.
After the war between the ancient Eastern World and the ancient Western World, who knew how many years had passed before the Great Destruction of the ancient civilization occurred.
No one knew what kind of secrets were hidden within.
However, speaking of adultery, as a member of the Jiang Kingdom's royal family, Shen Lang seemed to have a small adultery with a certain Queen Medusa from the Lost Empire in the West. In fact, there was even a powerful aura of Queen Medusa's energy on his body.
How could he open the door of this prison? Shen Lang pressed his palm on the door.
"Whoosh!" Instantly, a light appeared on the door, and a word appeared.
The ancient Eastern Empire loved this word so much. Their strategic weapon was named Dragon's Regret. Now, there was also a word on the door of this prison.
Shen Lang noticed that the last point of the word was indented. He put the Ancient King Ring on it.
* whoosh *
The door disappeared and became an energy whirlpool. An energy whirlpool with a diameter of two meters.
"Close!" Shen Lang wore the Ancient King Ring and gave the order.
Instantly, the energy whirlpool closed, revealing the prison room of around a hundred square meters.
The prison room was empty. There was only one person kneeling on the ground, not moving.
Shen Lang slowly walked in and arrived in front of the prisoner.
He was the greatest traitor of the ancient Jiang Dynasty? He looked a bit familiar.
Qiu Yao'er said, "He … He's a pretty boy like you. And he doesn't seem to know any martial arts. "
Oh, no wonder he looked familiar.
Shen Lang looked at him even more carefully. This ancient Jiang Dynasty was definitely the number one handsome man back then. He was so handsome that it made people feel suffocated.
It also seemed to have become a fossil, but it was vivid and lifelike. It wasn't like the other ancient human fossils, which were just rocks and didn't have their original skin color.
The prisoner in front of him, no matter if it was skin or hair, was still vivid and lifelike. He looked the same as he did tens of thousands of years ago.
However, when he reached out and touched them, they were all fossils.
Others were human fossils, but he was human jade.
Not only that, there was a mark on his face, a mark of a woman's lips. Someone kissed him on his face.
The kiss mark also became a bright red fossil. Who was it that kissed him? Was it the Medusa that he loved?
The prisoner was still talking before he died. Shen Lang used the brain to record his scene and analyzed it. He seemed to be saying, "I don't regret it?"
The clothes of the other ancient human fossils also became stone, completely fusing with the fossil body.
The clothes of the prisoner in front of him were still complete. It was just a simple robe. It wasn't luxurious at all. It was simple and elegant.
Without saying a word, Shen Lang immediately tore off the clothes on his body.
Chou Yao 'er's mouth trembled slightly, but she had nothing to say. She was a man who had no respect for ancient humans, and her first thought was to get rich.
Of course, Shen Lang wanted to get rich. He had already entered three ancient ruins, but what was the result?
A temple, a plaza, and a prison.
The ancient ruins that other people found were either libraries, huge cities, or countless secret warehouses and laboratories.
The ancient ruins that he had discovered were completely empty.
After taking off the prisoner's clothes, his white jade-like body was revealed. As expected, he wasn't strong at all. He was even fairer than a woman. If he dressed up as a woman, he would definitely be prettier.
Shen Lang landed on his chest, where his heart was. What was that?
It looked like an ornament. Was it a breastplate? There were beautiful gems embedded on it, and it looked very exquisite. Moreover, it was embedded directly into his body. It looked like the energy reaction center in Iron Man's chest.
This was a treasure, this was definitely a treasure.
The traitor of the ancient empire in front of him was a pretty boy, and he also seemed to be powerless. The device on his chest was definitely very important to him.
Shen Lang tried to take it off, but he couldn't.
"Yao 'er, come help," Shen Lang said.
Chou Yao 'er went up, grabbed the device, and tried to pull it off. But she also failed. She couldn't take it off.
"I can't take it off. If I use more strength, there might be huge consequences," Chou Yao 'er said.
What should he do?
Shen Lang had a premonition that this thing was definitely a treasure that would be very useful to him.
They were both pretty boys, and this Jiang clan prisoner relied on it to travel the world. He even hooked up with Queen Medusa. That meant that this treasure was most suitable for Shen Lang.
Then, Shen Lang tried everything he could, but he couldn't take the device off. Even the Ancient King Ring was useless.
What should he do? Should he give up? Return empty-handed? Absolutely not.
Shen Lang closed his eyes and observed the entire body of the traitor of the ancient Jiang Dynasty. His gaze landed on his finger.
Indeed, there was a mark on the ring finger of his right hand. It was the mark of a ring, but it was empty.
This … What did this prove?
This person was once the crown prince of the Jiang Dynasty? He betrayed his own empire for Medusa, was imprisoned, and was stripped of his position as crown prince? But when he was the crown prince, he didn't have the right to wear the Ancient King Ring, right?
Then what was his identity when he was imprisoned?
Shen Lang suddenly had a thought. He took off his Ancient King Ring.
The Ancient King Ring was very strange. If he wanted to take it off, a thought must appear in his head. Otherwise, it was as if it grew on his finger and he couldn't take it off.
After taking off the Ancient King Ring, Shen Lang was going to put it on the ancient prisoner's finger.
Chou Yao 'er said, "Think carefully. This is very risky. If you put it on and you can't take it off, it'll be troublesome."
Shen Lang nodded, and then directly put the Ancient King's Ring on the ancient prisoner's finger.
Instantly …
The special device on the ancient prisoner's chest lit up, emitting a dazzling light.
Shen Lang stretched out his hand again, gently twisted it, and directly took it down.
This … this was definitely a treasure.
It was indeed a Nightmare Stone equipment, and a very, very high grade Nightmare Stone crystal at that.
Not only that, but it also had its own energy core, and it was not the kind of energy core of metallic hydrogen, but … the energy core of dragon blood marrow. Through the crystal, Shen Lang could see that the dragon blood marrow was flowing inside, and it was reacting and continuously releasing energy.
This was truly a treasure, and a super ancient treasure at that.
There were two types of ancient equipment that Shen Lang had seen so far. One completely relied on metal hydrogen energy cores. The other was an independent ancient equipment. This ancient equipment had a very high grade Nightmare Stone device that could store energy. Thus, it could produce battle power without the ancient energy core. It was like carrying a battery on his back.
The device in front of him was equivalent to a nuclear power core.
The Dragon Blood Marrow was a material used to create the Dragon's Regret. Using it to power this small device, the energy would be almost endless.
Shen Lang was currently starting the Doomsday Plan in order to create the Dragon's Regret. However, he didn't even have the slightest bit of theoretical knowledge. He had no direction at all. As long as he thoroughly researched this small device, he would be able to make a huge breakthrough in the principles of creating the Dragon's Regret.
So, such a small device completely represented the peak of the ancient civilization.
Why did the traitor of the ancient Jiang Dynasty bring it with him at all times? It definitely had a huge use, and even had shocking power.
Then, how should he name it?
The strategic killing weapon was named Dragon's Regret, and the launching device was named Dragon's Power. Then, this thing should be named Dragon's Heart, or Dragon's Core.
Shen Lang tried to put the Dragon's Core where his heart was, but there was no reaction at all.
"Ancestor, I've brought this ring back," Shen Lang said.
Then, he removed the Ancient King Ring from the Jiang Dynasty prisoner's finger. Indeed, there were no obstructions.
Shen Lang once again put the Ancient King Ring on his finger.
Instantly, the Dragon's Core flashed with light again. Then, several needles drilled out and fiercely smashed into Shen Lang's chest.
It didn't hurt, but it looked very horrifying. And it seemed like it was still drawing blood?
The Dragon's Core continuously drew blood from Shen Lang's chest. It drew a whole dozen milliliters of blood, then poured into the core and started to react with some of the liquids inside.
"Bang!"
Shen Lang felt a sharp pain in his chest. The Dragon's Core fiercely embedded into his chest and started to spin. In the end, it was as if it had completely grown into his body.
This wasn't the end.
After it was embedded into Shen Lang's chest, it continuously released all kinds of energy aura, which surged into Shen Lang's brain, into Shen Lang's veins, and into his blood vessels.
In an instant!
The energy aura was too strong. Shen Lang's mind went blank, then … he fainted.
Sigh ~!
Fainting every time? Is there any meaning in that? Is your body so fragile?
But this time, before he fainted, Chou Yao 'er directly hugged him and made him sit on the ground. Her body leaned into his embrace.
And during this entire process, Shen Lang's body was trembling slightly.
The Dragon's Core on his chest and the Ancient King Ring on his finger were all emitting a strange light. Even Shen Lang's entire body was glowing.
To be more precise, it wasn't his body that was glowing. Rather, a ray of light was flowing from his brain to his blood vessels, through the Ancient King Ring, and finally back to the Dragon's Core on his chest.
Was this like signing a contract?
Or was Shen Lang fusing with the Dragon's Core?
In other words, was he installing a system?
Just like that, Chou Yao 'er hugged Shen Lang, not moving in the slightest. Her eyes, however, were staring unblinkingly at the Ancient Jiang Dynasty traitor in the prison. It wasn't because he was too handsome, but because he was turning into stone inch by inch.
Before, he was very lifelike. He had his original skin color, his hair color, and his eyes were like gemstones.
But now, after losing the Dragon's Core, his body was gradually turning into stone like everyone else. A stone of pure color.
… … …
After who knew how long, Shen Lang and You You woke up. Realizing that they were lying in Chou Yao 'er's embrace, they couldn't help but rub their faces in happiness.
Then, Shen Lang sat up from Chou Yao 'er's embrace. He looked down at the Dragon's Core on his chest, then at his hand.
"I feel like I've changed. I've definitely become stronger," Shen Lang said. "I can feel powerful energy in my body. I've definitely become stronger."
Chou Yao 'er said, "Why don't you give it a try?"
Shen Lang said, "I can clearly feel the change. I've definitely become very strong."
Then, Shen Lang began to do push-ups.
Ten, thirteen, fifteen, sixteen …
Ugh! He had reached his limit.
His power hadn't increased at all. He still didn't have the strength to truss a chicken.
What was going on?
But Shen Lang clearly felt that he had become stronger. After the Dragon's Core had fused with his body, it had brought him some sort of powerful power.
He had definitely become stronger. But … how was he strong?
"Yao 'er, I have a feeling that I've become very strong. You might not even be able to defeat me, really," Shen Lang said with a serious expression. "But I don't know how I'm strong."
Shen Lang wasn't joking. He truly felt that there was some sort of power in his body. It was very strong.
He didn't know what it was, and he didn't know how to use it. This is really f * cked up!
