Inside the old dragon's cave.
The old dragon beast was now covered with fine sword wounds and charred burns. It lay flat on the ground, barely breathing.
With the three of them working together, they defeated the old dragon in four to five breaths of time.
Mo Yan's left hand was burning with the Cold Spirit Strange Flame. It was extremely close to the old dragon's abdomen. The terrifying temperature from the strange flame made the old dragon wriggle its body instinctively.
"Where is the dragon's cave located?" Mo Yan's voice was extremely cold.
The old dragon did not respond immediately.
Mo Yan did not ask a second time. His gaze was cold as he placed the strange flame on the old dragon's abdomen.
Sizzle!
The sound of burning was extremely ear-piercing. A burnt hole appeared on the old dragon's abdomen.
The intense pain from the wound made the old dragon cry out in pain.
Moo! Moo! Moo!
The old dragon cried out weakly.
"It said that its position is not high and it has never seen the king before. Therefore, it does not know the exact location of the king's cave. It only knows the general direction." The Western Rat King consciously acted as a translator.
This was the demonic beasts. For demonic beasts, the law of the jungle was an unchanging principle since ancient times. Beasts that had yet to understand human nature rarely had the concept of loyalty in their cognition. In other words, they were only loyal to the strong, and only loyal to strength.
Therefore, with just a little pressure, the old dragon began to speak frankly without any moral shackles.
Whoosh!
Mo Yan retracted the strange flame in his hand. He looked at the old dragon's dim eyes and asked coldly, "Which direction is it?"
Moo!
The old dragon replied.
After getting the answer, a cold light flashed in Mo Yan's eyes. He did not show any mercy. With a wave of his left hand, the Cold Spirit Strange Flame burned the old dragon into ashes.
There was no reason to show mercy to the dragon.
"Let's go. Since we know the general direction, let's go in that direction." Mo Yan decided.
…
The three of them walked for a long time according to the direction the old dragon pointed. Along the way, the number of times they met the dragon gradually increased. However, under the effect of the cloak and the Concealing Spirit Pendant, their journey was not affected at all.
After walking for about an hour, Lu Qingshan and the other two finally stopped their lazy footsteps once again.
This was because a fork in the road had appeared in front of them.
The two forked roads were extremely long and winding, and no one knew where they led.
Mo Yan frowned.
"Lu Qingshan, what do we do now?" Hidden Sword stared at Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan's eyelids sank as he fell into deep thought.
This wasn't easy to handle. Could it be that he had to capture another Flood Dragon Beast and interrogate it?
…
"Have the three of you encountered some difficulties?" An extremely cold female voice suddenly sounded, startling Lu Qingshan and the other two.
Lu Qingshan raised his head slightly and saw that a woman had appeared at the previously empty fork in the road.
The woman was facing a flowering tree at the fork in the road. She had a slender figure and wore a light and elegant palace dress. The fiery red dress was as hot as a raging fire. It fluttered in the absence of wind, creating faint ripples.
Her long hair fell from her shoulders to her vest and was gently tied up with a silver ribbon. There seemed to be a mist around her, and her temperament was ethereal.
"Who are you, Your Excellency?" Mo Yan's hair stood on end as he asked vigilantly.
It was no wonder that Mo Yan was so sensitive.
Seeing such a woman in the Dragon Pool that was occupied by the Flood Dragon Beasts was too strange. It made people feel bewildered.
The woman turned around, and the three of them saw her extremely beautiful face.
Her face was as smooth as snow, and her eyes were like dots of lacquer. She was as dazzling as a piece of jade, and her body was as radiant as a willow in spring.
"Oh, you can call me … Qin Yitian." The woman's voice was very soft.
"Brother Lu, there's something wrong with this woman," Mo Yan whispered to Lu Qingshan. At the same time, he cupped his fists at Qin Yitian and asked, "I'm Mo Yan. Greetings, Miss Qin. May I know who you are and why you're here?"
Qin Yitian bowed slightly but did not answer Mo Yan's question immediately. Her phoenix-like eyes looked at Lu Qingshan, who had yet to speak, and asked, "How should I address you?"
Lu Qingshan raised an eyebrow. Although he was surprised, he quickly replied, "Lu Qingshan."
"My name is Hidden Small Sword." Hidden Small Sword, who was standing beside Lu Qingshan, came over and introduced himself.
Qin Yitian nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. She asked again, "You seem to be looking for something. Perhaps I can provide you with some help … I'm quite familiar with this place. "
This time, it was a formal inquiry.
Lu Qingshan's face lit up. He said solemnly, "We're human cultivators. Because the Flood Dragon Clan has been doing evil in human territory, we're here to find the Flood Dragon Demon King's cave abode. We want to create some trouble for him.
But this place is huge, and there are many forks in the road. The terrain is strange, so we don't have any leads. "
Qin Yitian thought for a moment, then murmured, "The Flood Dragon Demon King … he must be talking about that little snake …"
"What did you say?" Lu Qingshan seemed to have heard Qin Yitian mumbling to herself.
"Nothing." Qin Yitian shook her head. "I think I know where the Flood Dragon Demon King's cave abode is, but the terrain here is strange, and it's not convenient to talk about it. Why don't I take you there?"
Lu Qingshan thought for a moment, then nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Qin."
Qin Yitian nodded slightly. "Mm, it's no trouble at all. Let's go then. "
Qin Yitian didn't waste any more time. She turned around and started to lead the way.
"Hey, wait." Lu Qingshan stopped her.
The woman turned around, puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"Flood Dragons are circling around here. If they find us, we'll be in trouble." Lu Qingshan pointed at Qin Yitian's red palace dress. "You're too conspicuous."
"I see." Qin Yitian frowned, troubled. "But I only have this set of clothes …"
It was only then that Lu Qingshan noticed that there was nothing on her slender fingers. There was no storage ring.
Lu Qingshan thought for a moment, then took off his Spirit-Concealing Pendant and cloak. He handed them to Qin Yitian. "I'll lend you mine for now. Otherwise, you'll be too conspicuous."
Qin Yitian was surprised, then accepted the Spirit-Concealing Pendant and cloak. She bowed and thanked him. "Thank you, Mr. Lu."
"Lu Qingshan." Mo Yan looked at Lu Qingshan strangely. Ever since he saw Qin Yitian, he seemed to have changed into a different person. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he had no choice but to take out a green jade pendant and cloak from his storage ring. He handed them to Lu Qingshan. "Just to be safe, I've prepared an extra set as a backup …"
"Master Mo is indeed thoughtful," Lu Qingshan praised. He took the Spirit-Concealing Pendant and cloak happily.
The group of three expanded to four people. The leader was now Qin Yitian. Under her lead, the group moved forward quickly.
"I'm sure Fellow Daoist Lu understands that this Young Lady Qin's background and behavior are all very strange. Her appearance was also very sudden and unreasonable.
Why do you trust her so much? Is there something I missed? "Lu Qingshan suddenly received Mo Yan's voice transmission.
Mo Yan was indeed very doubtful and worried. From his point of view, a person like Lu Qingshan would definitely not trust a stranger so easily. Moreover, it was on such an important matter.
What if this Miss Qin wanted to frame them and lead them into a trap? What should they do then?
"If she wants to harm us, there is no need for her to come into contact with us. She can just lure the Serpent Tribe over. Why does she need to go through so much trouble …" As Lu Qingshan spoke, he suddenly stopped and sank into deep thought.
That's right. No matter what, this was not a reason for him to trust a stranger so easily.
And at a time like this when danger was everywhere and he was much more alert than usual.
What's wrong with me? Am I confused?
Lu Qingshan was confused.
"Hidden Little Sword, why are you so close to Miss Qin?" Lu Qingshan asked Hidden Little Sword. He was troubled and could not think of a reasonable explanation.
He could see that the little girl was also very enthusiastic about Qin Yitian. Perhaps Hidden Little Sword's thoughts would give him some inspiration.
Hidden Little Sword was stunned. He blinked and replied naturally, "It's just my intuition. My intuition tells me that she means us no harm.
Apart from that, there's also a very strange feeling lingering around her body. How should I describe it … "
Hidden Little Sword thought for a while and finally found a suitable analogy. "I feel like she's a good friend of mine for many years. For some reason, I want to get close to her."
After hearing Hidden Little Sword's explanation, Lu Qingshan fell into deep thought.
This was because he and Hidden Little Sword felt the same way. It was this feeling of being a good friend that made him trust Qin Yitian so much.
"What do you think of Miss Qin?" Lu Qingshan asked the Western Rat King.
The Western Rat King seemed to have caught Lu Qingshan's weakness. "Lu Qingshan, have you taken a liking to her? I've never seen someone like you who would lend their only concealment item to someone you've just met!"
After confirming that the Western Rat King was fine, Lu Qingshan ignored the Western Rat King and glanced at Qin Yitian who was leading the way from the corner of his eye.
Qin Yitian was wearing a large cloak that covered her entire body. It also covered her gorgeous dress. Under the cloak's illusion effect, the four of them moved without making a sound.
Was she under some kind of strange Spirit Art or Illusion Spell?
Lu Qingshan thought of this possibility.
But why was it that only he and Hidden Little Sword felt this way? Mo Yan and the Western Rat King were not affected at all.
Could it be that this Spirit Art only targeted him and Hidden Little Sword?
