Chapter 679: Dragon Roar
Boom boom...
Violent tremors came from the bottom of the valley.
"That's... Dragon's Roar!"
Soon, Jiang Chen noticed an unparalleled force erupting from below.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely huge monster appeared in the center of the valley.
This is a giant snake covered with scales. Each scale shines with a black gold luster, giving people a feeling of toughness and heaviness.
What surprised Jiang Chen the most was that it had a pair of horns on its head, emitting a cold and chilling light.
"This monster is not simple."
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, revealing a cautious light.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he found that the monster opened its eyes and shot a cold gaze at him.
"It's so cold." Jiang Chen couldn't help but shiver.
"The strength of this monster should not exceed the True Dan stage."
"However, it has a strange power, as if it has intelligence, and is not easy to deal with."
Jiang Chen pondered.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the giant monster seemed to be mocking him.
"Since brute force is not an option, then use formations."
Jiang Chen said in his heart.
Immediately, he took out the talisman pen and talisman paper, ready to create an illusion to confuse the monster.
Whoosh~
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Chen made a move, the giant monster suddenly jumped up.
The snake's tail, as sharp as a knife, swept over at an extremely fast speed.
With a bang, Jiang Chen was swept away unexpectedly.
Fortunately, he practiced the Dragon Soul Technique, and his physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Even so, several ribs were broken and blood was oozing from his mouth and nose.
"hiss!"
Seeing this scene, the giant monster became even angrier.
The snake's tongue flickered in and out, its eyes were red, and it locked its eyes on Jiang Chen.
"Evil beast!"
Jiang Chen's face was gloomy, and he swung out with the sword in his hand, fierce and domineering.
This sword was of excellent quality, and combined with his talent in swordsmanship, a single strike of the sword carried a destructive aura.
However, the giant monster's snake tail slapped over just as fiercely.
With a ding, sparks flew.
The sword almost broke into pieces. Jiang Chen's palms shook and his body flew back.
"This monster is much stronger than I expected. I am no match for it."
Jiang Chen frowned.
He originally thought that he could deal with this fifth-level monster with his own strength.
Now it seems that the idea was too naive.
"This place is protected by a formation. If you act rashly, you will easily be strangled by the formation."
After thinking it over, Jiang Chen gave up the idea of a head-on confrontation.
He turned and walked towards Tianya Valley, intending to find an opportunity to escape.
The giant monster roared angrily, but after hesitating for a moment, it did not attack again.
Jiang Chen successfully entered Tianya Valley, where the environment was very beautiful, with green grass and gurgling streams.
"The medicinal materials here should be quite abundant, right?"
Looking around, Jiang Chen thought excitedly.
He was not in a hurry to pick herbs. After all, the dangers in Tianya Valley were unknown, so he had to figure out the situation first.
However, after walking for a few minutes, he heard the voices of two disciples talking.
"Brother, is it possible that the incident at Tianya Peak was fake?" asked one of the disciples.
"What do you mean?"
The disciple called senior brother asked doubtfully.
"I heard that the sect's ancestor has been in seclusion for many years and has never come out. Tianya Peak has long been abandoned. How could there be treasures?" The disciple said, "I suspect that this is a rumor deliberately spread by the people of Tianya Ridge."
"Um."
The man called Senior Brother nodded and said, "It is indeed possible that it is a rumor, otherwise why would Tianyaling make this matter public."
"Haha, no matter if it's true or not, we ."
The disciple said with a smile: "You know, that is Tianya Mountain, a place that everyone dreams of, especially women. It is said that there are many fairies in Tianya Mountain."
When the fairy was mentioned, an obscene look appeared in the eyes of the senior brother.
"Once you get the treasure, I will accompany you to enjoy a night of love." The senior brother said evilly.
"Brother is really elegant."
The disciple flatteredly said: "But Junior Brother still has a concern."
"What worries?"
"If you offend the fairies in Tianya Mountain, you will be in big trouble." The disciple said cautiously.
"That's true."
The senior brother nodded and said, "Then let's hurry up and search for medicinal herbs. Don't forget, we still need to rush to Cangqiong Academy to register for the assessment."
After saying that, the senior brother took out the formation flag and struck a mysterious pose.
"A spirit gathering array?"
Jiang Chen was secretly surprised.
The Spirit Gathering Formation was set up by warriors and is specifically designed to target the vital energy of heaven and earth.
This type of spirit gathering formation is very powerful and can absorb the free vital energy between heaven and earth.
Jiang Chen looked at the spirit gathering formation, his eyes rolling around, planning to break it.
The spirit gathering array is a mysterious thing, and it is not easy to destroy it even for a warrior at the Saint Venerable level.
Although Jiang Chen has reached the peak of the sixth level of the Mortal Realm, it is still extremely difficult to achieve this.
He tried to integrate his spiritual power into the world.
The vital energy of heaven and earth here is relatively rich, so it can be sensed.
However, it is impossible to use mental power to guide the vital energy of heaven and earth.
"I don't understand the formation, so I can only rely on external help this time." Jiang Chen shook his head and decided to give up for the time being.
"There are a lot of herbs here, enough for me to practice the Dragon Soul Technique and strive to break through to the Condensation and Spinning Realm."
After thinking about it, he started to take action and began to collect medicinal herbs.
In Tianya Valley, all kinds of flowers are everywhere, some are in bud, blooming with a fragrant scent.
Jiang Chen smelled the refreshing fragrance, his heart calmed down, all the pores on his body dilated, and he greedily breathed in the vitality in the air.
This situation lasted for about three hours. Jiang Chen felt that his whole body was filled with strength and he was about to step into a new level.
"Um?"
Suddenly, he noticed something unusual.
Looking up, I saw a stone platform not far away.
The stone platform is semicircular, with a crystal clear stone placed on it, as if it was carved from white jade.
"Could this be a spirit stone?" Jiang Chen asked in astonishment.
Spiritual stones contain pure vitality of heaven and earth and are extremely valuable, even comparable to spiritual veins.
Jiang Chen's heart started beating rapidly.
Spiritual stones are born from heaven and earth and are extremely scarce.
Even in the Tianyuan Continent, it is difficult to obtain spirit stones.
Now, Jiang Chen actually encountered a spirit stone!
"Ha ha."
Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
He hurried over, took the spirit stone in his hand, looked at it, and carefully felt the surging vitality in it.
This spiritual stone not only contains vitality, but also spirituality.
In other words, this spiritual stone is a living stone.
"I'm so lucky. I can find a spirit stone anywhere I go."
Jiang Chen smiled and put the spirit stone away.
"wrong……"
Suddenly, Jiang Chen felt something was wrong.
The spirit stone contains a huge amount of vital energy. According to common sense, it is impossible to store it for so long.
Unless... someone used some secret method to seal the spirit stone.
