I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

Chapter 821: The Guest Follows the Host's Will, Cangyu Holy City

"Gu kid, do you think there's some treasure in that pool?"

Gu Xiu's doubts were also Suixing's doubts, and he immediately gave the most reasonable speculation.

It's indeed reasonable.

Since ancient times, natural treasures are often guarded by extremely powerful monsters. This has almost become a convention. However, this convention does not mean that there must be monsters where there are natural treasures. It is because natural treasures will not only attract human cultivators, but also monsters.

The most suspicious thing that could make a powerful dragon that has already begun to transform stop here is that there are extremely precious treasures hidden here.

The dragon was reluctant to leave.

Even though it was extremely eager for the flesh and blood of everyone on this trip, even though it could have rushed out of the pool and killed the crowd, because the pool contained extremely precious natural treasures and the extremely important five treasures, the dragon gave up suppressing its desire for flesh and blood.

only……

"I used the Source Observation Technique on the pool of water and found that there was nothing special in it. The pool was empty." Gu Xiu shook his head, looking confused.

"empty?"

"Is this true or not? Are you sure?"

Broken Star was surprised.

Gu Xiu nodded. "At such a close distance, my source-observing technique couldn't be wrong. Furthermore, I didn't just observe the source; I also used my spiritual sense to investigate. This pool is indeed just an ordinary pool. This dragon has been living there. Aside from the traces left by the dragon itself, there's nothing else inside."

"That's strange. If it's not guarding a treasure, why would this dragon want to confine itself on the ground?" Suixing was puzzled.

This was also Gu Xiu’s doubt.

At this moment, he frowned and stared at the dragon in confusion:

"And I've made a discovery."

"This dragon's affection for me doesn't mean he likes me that much, nor does it mean he's really afraid of my strength and wants to submit to me. It's more like..."

"They treated me as an extremely important guest."

"Guest?" Broken Star was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"I can't explain it clearly, but I can sense that the change in its attitude towards me was extremely abrupt. Perhaps it was caused by the suppression of my cultivation after I entered the pool. It felt like... some kind of force had appeared, interfering with the dragon's decision."

"You mean, the dragon's master gave it an order not to attack you?"

"This is just a guess, I can't be sure." Gu Xiu nodded, his face solemn: "But... I do have this feeling."

"But this shouldn't be the case. With so many of us here, if someone was controlling the dragon up close, it's impossible for them to be completely unaware. And if they're far away, any sound transmission would definitely cause fluctuations. To cause such a drastic change in the dragon's attitude, even if it's just sound transmission, there would definitely be some clues left behind."

The art of sound transmission can indeed be achieved even if the distance is thousands or even longer.

However, this method mostly relies on communication magic weapons.

There is no such thing on this dragon, and there is not even such a thing in the pool. This means that if someone wants to communicate with this dragon, they can only choose to transmit the sound in secret.

but……

There are disadvantages to transmitting secret messages. It's fine if the distance is close enough, but if the distance is far, even if other people can't hear the content of the message, they can still sense that the other party is receiving the message. If there really is someone behind the dragon, that person certainly can't be too close. If someone wants to transmit a message to make the dragon change its attitude, it will definitely be noticed by others.

And seeing that the dragon had no means of communication, and secondly, no one present noticed any fluctuations in its breath that could transmit the sound.

If there is someone behind, where is that person and what is their purpose?

Shaking his head, Gu Xiu took another look at the azure dragon, and finally decided not to stay any longer. He turned around and walked out of the pool area.

This dragon is obviously not ordinary, so it’s better not to move it for now.

Even if I really want to move.

We also need to first see who is behind this dragon.

"This place is in no way inferior to a holy land or a divine dynasty."

“I never thought that in such a secret place, there would be such a magnificent city hidden.”

"It's a pity that this place has been destroyed for who knows how many years. Now all we can see are these ruins."

"..."

Just came over.

Gu Xiu heard everyone's discussion.

They walked out of the cold pond. According to common sense, the dragon would no longer pose a threat. Naturally, everyone began to pay attention to the situation ahead.

Gu Xiu took a glance.

At this moment, they have arrived in front of the ruins. Before, because they were not close enough, they could only see that this place was a damaged ruin. But when they really got close, they found that this was an ancient ruin that should have been extremely magnificent at least in the past, with an extremely vast scope.

You can't even see the border at a glance.

On the city wall that had mostly collapsed, one could still see the bricks engraved with array patterns. Upon closer inspection, one could see that they were all made of extremely precious refining materials.

Yuchi Chunlei was also standing in front of the ruins, sighing and lamenting:

"Good stuff, all good stuff!"

"What a pity, what a pity!"

"It's been too long. The original power of these materials has been completely lost. Now only an empty shell remains. It's a waste!"

Not only her, in fact most people's reaction at this moment is similar to Yuchi Chunlei's.

After all, all of them have entered the Canglong Secret Realm until now, except for Gu Xiu who got benefits from Su Zhenyue, everyone else has gained nothing. It can be seen from the collapsed city wall. If they can find this reversed brick before it completely loses its spirituality.

If you just take something, it’s considered a huge profit.

but now……

Because no one has maintained it for a long time and it has been damaged for a long time, the treasure has become an empty shell of little value, which cannot be repaired and is no longer of any use.

Anyone would feel sad.

However, despite their heartache, everyone was also excited and full of anticipation:

"This is just the outer periphery. This ruin is so vast. Back then, it was at least as valuable as a divine dynasty. We should hurry and go deeper. We might be able to reap great rewards."

"That's right, don't waste time, let's go in quickly."

"Let's get going!"

"Fellow Daoist Guan, should we set off now?"

Just a few brick walls made everyone look forward to this place. However, even though they were anxious, no one dared to leave the team and set off first.

because.

Realm suppression still exists.

No one was sure what dangers lay within the ruins, so they all subconsciously wanted to follow Gu Xiu, who was cultivating his body.

Fortunately, Gu Xiu did not hesitate and stepped out first, heading into the ruins.

Xiao Ping'an followed quickly behind.

But after taking two steps, she saw Su Zhenyue standing in front of her: "Little girl, you haven't forgotten our bet, right?"

Bet?

Xiao Pingan was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Of course I didn't forget."

"As long as you haven't forgotten."

Su Zhenyue nodded. "If that's the case, then let's continue our bet. Based on our previous experience, this ruin must also be protected by a powerful formation. So, let's stick to the old rules. Whoever breaks through the formation first and walks out will be the winner."

"No problem, sister, you are going to give me a treasure, I definitely can't refuse it." Xiao Ping'an nodded repeatedly.

These words made Su Zhenyue sneer:

"If you want to take my treasure, it depends on whether you have the ability."

The two men confronted each other, and then followed the team, moving forward in the city with extreme vigilance.

only……

After walking for a while, the two of them began to look confused.

"What's going on? Is this really just an ordinary relic?"

"I've been walking for so long, but I haven't found anything. Not only do I not find any useful treasures, but even the formations that used to exist here have been destroyed due to the depletion of spiritual energy."

"Let's go a little further."

They originally thought that such a magnificent relic would likely face extremely difficult tests.

The result was unexpected.

There's nothing in here.

There was nothing there except the damaged and unrecognizable walls.

There are no formations and no restrictions.

Even if everyone wanted to find some valuable materials, they couldn't put them together!

Without exception, all of them are buildings that have been damaged due to their age and are no longer useful.

After patiently walking for another two hours, and even seeing the way out of the city, everyone was completely disappointed.

No.

Nothing at all.

Apart from the buildings in the city, which show that this place was once extremely prosperous and magnificent, there is nothing here, not a single thing of value.

Of course, it’s not really a complete failure.

At least when they were communicating with the ruins in the city, they were able to see the name of the city through some things in the city.

Cangyu Holy City!

This is the first city that has never been recorded in any ancient book. Even though many of the people present are well-read Confucian scholars, no one said that they had heard of the name of this city.

The only thing I know is.

This city is much older than the ancient times.

As everyone was walking forward for a while, someone suddenly spoke:

"Do you feel..."

"It seems like something is staring at us?"
