True Immortal of the Netherworld

Since arriving at Jiaolong Bay, the Seventh Prince and his two confidants, Kemba and Bamu, have been working hard to find traces of the "Dragon Power". For several days, they searched all over Jiaolong Bay and found nothing. They decided to go up the mountain to have a look.

Kemba and Bamu are both generals of the family of the seventh prince's concubine and queen. Their family can only be considered average among the various forces in the entire Linjiao Imperial City. When the seventh prince was very young, these two men followed him every day as his personal bodyguards. Today, these two people are already at the second level of Yuanhun Realm, and they are also considered prominent figures in the Great Imperial City. But they still act like slaves in front of their master.

A winding stone staircase was built around the mountain. It was quite spacious. The three of them climbed up the steps.

Most of a day later, the three of them arrived at the mountainside. They climbed up and looked far away, and the East China Sea seemed even wider. It seems that no matter how high you stand, you can't see the edge of the East China Sea, just the sea and the sky.

In front of us, the mountain suddenly became steeper, and the wide stone steps turned into a narrow plank road, which could only accommodate one person walking alone.

The bald man Kenba looked at the plank road opposite and said: "Master, after passing this section of the plank road, there should be an altar above, and there is no way up from the altar."

The thin and thin Bamu said: "Maybe the power of the dragon is hidden on that altar."

The Seventh Prince with a serious face said: "People with the blood of the Scale Dragon Royal Family are born with the horns of dragon beasts. Logically speaking, if there is dragon power, as long as I get close, the horns on my head will react. But here we are. Here, there is still no reaction at all.”

The bald man slapped his forehead and smiled, as if he wanted to make his master happy, and then said: "Maybe the dragon power is sealed somewhere on the altar. Otherwise, after so many years, why has it never happened? I’ve heard that there is dragon power in Jiaolong Bay.”

Bamu on the side took over the conversation and said: "Perhaps Brother Kemba, you guessed it right. According to the guard Li Xiong, the altar on this mountain peak is only used by the Grand Palace every year when the Scale Dragon clan worships the sky. The priest was sent up to worship with a few priests. On weekdays, no one is allowed to enter. It can be said that this altar is the most mysterious place on the entire island, and it may also be the place where the treasure is hidden. "

Listening to the discussion between the two of them, the seventh prince finally forced a smile on his face, and then ordered: "Kemba, lead the way."

The bald man replied loudly: "Okay." After saying that, he became energetic and bumped all the way up the plank road.

Although the plank road is narrow, it is also strong. Neat red copper wood is nailed horizontally into the mountain below, and is fixed with iron chains and pads above. It's like a purple dragon coiling around the mountain. If you step on it, it won't sway at all.

Seeing that Kemba was fine, the seventh prince waved his hand and said, "Come up together."

Bamu smiled and said: "Let the little one lead the way for you, Master."

The Seventh Prince followed the two of them with his hands behind his back, walking easily and effortlessly. It was obvious that his injured leg had already recovered to be as good as before, or perhaps his leg had not been seriously injured in the first place.

After a while, the three of them climbed across the plank road, and the terrain in front of them suddenly became flat and wide.

An ancient altar stands halfway up the mountain.

The altar was built of bluestone, and there were many stone statues of scaled dragon beasts placed around it. Each of these stone statues was more than two feet high. They were wagging their tails, protruding their heads, baring their teeth, or dancing their claws... they were majestic.

The surfaces of these stone statues are mottled by wind and rain, and it is obvious that no one takes care of them on weekdays.

In the middle of the altar is a rectangular stone platform. The stone platform is about ten feet high. The four sides of the stone platform are carved with totems of scale dragon beasts, but the stone platform is empty. At first glance, it always looks a bit out of place, as if the stone platform was originally There should be something there, but it was taken away.

The seventh prince took Kemba and Bamu around the altar carefully. From time to time, he would pat and twist the various parts of the scaly dragon stone statues with his hands, trying to find the hidden mechanism.

After a while, the three of them found nothing.

The seventh prince's face became increasingly ugly, and Kemba and Bamu followed behind him without daring to say anything.

The seventh prince looked left and right.

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and then he punched out without any warning.

A gray fist flew out, like an angry scaly dragon rushing towards the opposite side.

"boom!"

The stone statue of a scaly dragon closest to him was knocked down by his punch. The large stone statue rolled down several times and hit the opposite rock wall before stopping. Traces were carved into the rock wall, and a horn on the stone statue broke off and fell to the ground.

Except for raising a large amount of dust, there was no so-called "dragon power" at all.

The seventh prince, who had found nothing, said viciously: "I demolished the entire mountain and drained the entire inlet to find the hidden dragon power."

After saying this, the Seventh Prince, with a look of unwillingness on his face, walked a few steps to the stone statue of the scaled dragon beast that he had just overturned, examined it carefully, and picked up the fallen horn of the stone statue.

After a moment, he threw it casually, and the stone statue's horn fell on the opposite rock mass, shattering into pieces with a snap.

Suddenly, the seventh prince's expression condensed, as if he had thought of something.

He stretched out a finger and flicked it on the sharp corner of his golden mask.

"Ding--"

There was a crisp echo, like a dragon's roar dispersed.

After a moment, the seventh prince's mouth showed a hint of joy.

"over there!"

Before he finished speaking, the Seventh Prince tapped his toes on the ground and jumped away, like a vulture that found its prey and pounced towards the square altar over there.

"Bang!" He landed firmly on the altar.

Then, he looked down.

There is an arc-shaped groove on the altar. The groove is smooth and shiny, obviously different from other parts.

When the Seventh Prince saw this, he took a deep breath and thought to himself: "What should have been placed here before? And this thing clearly left a trace of extremely weak dragon power. Judging from the traces, it seemed that it had been destroyed not long ago. Was it Li Xiong who took it away? Impossible? When he left, I used my dragon horn power to check carefully, and there was no trace of dragon power leaking out of his entire fleet. I and others covet this dragon power."

Thinking of this, the Seventh Prince turned around and ordered loudly: "Immediately go back and give the order to seal off the entire Jiaolong Bay. No one is allowed to enter or exit. Search every corner carefully. Someone else should have come here and taken away the altar on the altar before us." thing."

"yes!"

"yes!"

Kemba and Bamu, who had been holding back for a long time and did not dare to speak, answered in unison.

…

Above the clouds, at the top of the mountain, it is extremely dangerous.

But on the top of the mountain, a large circle of gravel was suddenly spread out. Lying among the rubble was a strange bird that had just hatched out of its shell. It opened its big mouth and screamed toward the sky. This strange bird has fledgling wings, but it has a lion-like tail behind it. The dense tuft of down on the tip of the tail is very conspicuous, and it sways back and forth from time to time.

At this moment, a shadow shrouded down, followed by a gloomy and fierce wind.

There was no fear in the cry of the chick among the rubble, and it even showed a bit of excitement.

The next moment, a gigantic lion-tailed fish eagle with wings spread over five feet descended.

The lion-tailed fish eagle, this rare spiritual animal, only exists in the East China Sea, and it is an extremely rare animal. It is said that this beast can easily fly ninety thousand miles away, fly freely on the vast sea, and hunt all kinds of fish and other weak sea animals for food.

The big bird returned to the nest, and the little guy struggled to open his mouth, even leaving a wisp of saliva at the corner of his mouth.

The big bird spit out the half-digested fish meat and put it into the little guy's mouth. The little guy wolfed it down and raised his head again to ask for more.

Several times in a row, the big bird could no longer spit out food, but it seemed that it could not satisfy the little guy's big appetite.

The big bird did not leave immediately, but turned around and looked at the edge of the pile of stones. Standing abruptly was a round egg with an appearance as rough as a stone.

The big bird stretched its head and gently rubbed the stone egg with its hook-shaped beak a few times, as if expecting the arrival of another little baby.

Then, the big bird used its beak to push the stone egg toward the center of the stone.

The chick that hatched first obviously didn't like its egg brother. It stretched out its sharp claws and flapped its hairless wings to prevent the egg brother from being with it.

Seeing this, the big bird stretched out its hook-shaped beak and pecked the little guy hard on the head. The little guy felt dizzy for a while before giving up.

After a while, the big bird spread its wings, and with a strong wind, it was already ten feet away. After circling around the top of the mountain, it headed towards the sea, probably to go fishing again. Its child is born with a big appetite.

After the big bird flew away, the young bird circled around the stone egg, its chirping sounds filled with all kinds of annoyance. It clearly remembered that it had pushed this egg brother out of the nest a few days ago. Could it be that the big bird had found it again? If he really allowed his egg brother to hatch, wouldn't he compete with himself for the food brought back by the big bird?

Killing brothers is just the instinct of the "Gelada" chicks. Their huge appetite determines that one big bird cannot feed two chicks at the same time. The eggs that hatch later can only be used as spare eggs, and will most likely be pushed out of the nest by the chicks that hatched first. One of the costs of survival for every "Gelion-tailed Fish Eagle" is to kill its egg brothers first. Perhaps the first thing they learn when they are born is cruelty and killing.

The chick had just eaten a lot of fish and seemed to have some strength. It flapped its featherless wings and kicked, pushing its stone egg brother little by little to the edge of the stone barrier.

Finally, it took a few steps, flew up and stepped on the stone egg.

There was a "click" sound, and the foot it kicked seemed to be broken.

"Zhizhizhi." A series of screams.

The stone egg swayed back and forth on the edge of the stone bucket like a tumbler.

"Snapped."

A crucial pebble slipped.

The stone egg, which had lost its balance, finally left the stone platform and went down the mountain. It encountered various raised rocks and was bounced high, but it did not break.

Soon, the stone egg disappeared.

On the rocks on the mountain peak, the only thing left was the scream of the chick with its broken leg, like a pig being killed.

"Zhizhizhi——"
