The giant snake's ability to transform into a dragon failed. The moment its inner elixir exploded, thousands of golden rains shot out in all directions. No one noticed that one of the golden lights flew into the distance.

The golden light penetrated countless trees and fell to the ground. A dazzling golden bead rolled down to Chen Nan's feet. He could see everything clearly. He squatted down excitedly and picked up the golden bead. The golden bead was shining.

The colors flowed, and the peaceful light emitted made him feel comfortable. Regarding the legend of dragons, Chen Nan knew very well, and the golden beads in front of him had no secrets to him.

Although the giant snake failed to transform into a dragon, it has reached the half-dragon state after all. The power contained in its body is half of the attributes of the snake and half of the attributes of the dragon. The exploding inner elixir was transformed by the essence of its body and concentrated

The essence of its body was half snake essence and half dragon essence. When the inner elixir exploded, all the snake essence dissipated in the air, but the dragon essence did not dissipate. The pure dragon essence gathered together to form the dragon ball.

"Dragon Ball, this is really a Dragon Ball!" Chen Nan exclaimed.

Although the Dragon Ball is small in size, it contains pure and powerful dragon power. It is a priceless treasure.

Chen Nan is very clear about the function of this bead. Within an hour, the dragon bead is activated. If it is swallowed at this time and withstands the strong impact of the dragon power, then the person who swallows the dragon bead can absorb the ten

The essence of three and four achieves supreme power. If the dragon bead is not swallowed by any person or animal within an hour, it will quickly lose its luster, and all the powerful dragon power will be concentrated into the core of the bead. The dragon bead will

The outer layer of the dragon ball will become extremely hard and cannot be broken by non-immortal treasure-level weapons, which means that the powerful dragon power in the dragon ball cannot be absorbed at will.

Thousands of years ago, Chen Nan's family background determined that he must become a strong man, but his cultivation level has never been improved, and his low skill is the source of his pain. He has always longed to gain powerful power, and now the opportunity is right in front of him.

But he hesitated, not because he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the powerful dragon force and explode to death. At this time, he remembered a conversation between his father and him.

Chen Zhan said: "The treasures of heaven and earth may allow a person to gain great power in an instant and become a peerless master. But with every gain comes a loss. When he gets the coveted skill, it also means he will lose it forever."

He is qualified to be the strongest. The power obtained from the outside world constrains the development of his own strength, and it is a shackle that he can never break through."

Chen Nan said: "Even if you can't become the strongest, it would be nice to have the opportunity to become a peerless master."

Chen Zhan said: "A person who can withstand the powerful spiritual impact of heavenly materials and earthly treasures must be extraordinary. In addition to having a superb physique, he must also have an unyielding heart. How can such a person endure forever?"

Suffering without hope will eventually lead to self-destruction.”

Chen Nan said: "It won't be so extreme, right?"

Chen Zhan said: "Strong people are not afraid of loneliness, but are afraid of being stagnant forever in the pursuit of strength."

Although Chen Nan did not fully agree with his father Chen Zhan's views, he also felt that they made sense.

"Swallow it, maybe I will become a strong person in an instant, or maybe I will explode and die immediately, but in either case, I will lose the qualification to become the strongest person."

Chen Nan laughed at himself: "For people like me whose martial arts have stagnated, maybe swallowing the dragon ball is the best choice. After all, this is an opportunity for a carp to leap over the dragon's gate."

"Is this a gift from God to me?"

Chen Nan looked down at the glowing dragon ball in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "But I am really unwilling! I, Chen Nan, don't need a 'gift'!"

Looking back on the past, Chen Nan felt a little disappointed.

Before he was sixteen years old, he was praised as a martial arts genius. His martial arts skills improved rapidly and he was called the "first person" among his peers. However, this was the beginning of his nightmare. No matter how hard he worked, his skills could no longer be improved.

He couldn't improve, and even his family's Xuan Gong fell from the Mahayana realm of the second heaven to the intermediate realm of the first heaven. Seeing his peers surpassing him one by one, he felt extremely disappointed and bitter.

.Although he vaguely guessed that the sharp decline in martial arts cultivation was related to some "external factors", he was troubled by his inability to find out the truth.

After the halo of genius faded, countless voices of ridicule came from behind, but he could not say anything. The public opinion of the outside world, the family's mission... the huge pressure was like a heavy mountain pressing on his heart.

His incompetent performance made him feel that he was a mediocre person and did not deserve to be born into such a family.

From the age of sixteen to twenty, he felt that life was very tiring, and even had the idea of ​​​​committing suicide. During this period, his heart was full of confusion. But there was always a belief in the deepest part of his heart. He firmly believed that sooner or later, one day

Being able to break through the shackles and break the current barriers to practice is what motivates him to continue practicing the mystical skills passed down from his family.

Reborn after ten thousand years, Chen Nan's martial arts skills have still not improved at all, but the heavy pressure from his family has completely disappeared. After a year of adjustment, he has integrated into the current society. He has been freed from the pain of the past.

, restored its original nature.

"Maybe I missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity today, but I will never regret it!"

The dragon pearl that originally had flowing brilliance gradually dimmed, and finally the light was completely restrained, and the color changed from golden to green, becoming an ordinary pearl.

Chen Nan put the dragon ball away and returned along the original road. He didn't want to stop for a moment, for fear of being entangled by the little devil princess behind him. He climbed up a high mountain and looked from a distance. The little princess and others were still at the crater.

He let out a long breath and said: "Huh~~ I finally get rid of this little devil's nightmare."

Chen Nan had been wandering around the mountains for three days. He found out to his embarrassment that he was lost. The endless mountains were endless. If he could not find his way back, he would have no choice but to become a savage in the mountains.

A wisp of light smoke curled up from the distant mountain forest. Chen Nan was overjoyed and moved forward to look for it. He stopped a hundred feet away from the light smoke. He did not dare to rush forward rashly, in case it was the little princess and her group.

, he will die without a burial place.

After careful investigation, he finally determined that this was a group of strangers who seemed to be trying to find their way to the mountain. For the next two days, he quietly followed this group of people.

But good luck always seemed to elude Chen Nan. On the afternoon of the third day, as he was following the group of people unhurriedly, seven or eight figures suddenly sprang out from all around him, surrounding him. From then on.

It can be seen from their sharp eyes that each of them is a master, and the cold murderous aura emanating from them can be imagined that each of them has experienced a life-and-death battle.

All the people in front turned back, there were about twenty people in total, the leader was a young man, he looked quite handsome, and there was a faint domineering air about him. He looked Chen Nan up and down, frowned and said: "

Who are you? Why are you following us sneakily?"

Chen Nan explained: "I am a lost hunter, and I want to follow you out of this mountain."

"How dare a hunter go into the depths of this mountain range?"

"I came here unknowingly while hunting a white deer, and I couldn't find my way back."

The young master pointed to a burly man next to him: "You, come on."

From the tone of his commanding his subordinates, it can be seen that he is a person who is accustomed to giving orders. Chen Nan guessed that this young master must be a person with a great background.

The big man held a big sword in his hand, which was wide and long. He walked over and slashed at Chen Nan. Chen Nan hurriedly dodged to the side, and the big man slashed the air with one sword. The second sword came again, and the sword body triggered a wave.

The light cyan light slashed diagonally at Chen Nan's waist and abdomen.

Chen Nan shouted in his heart: No way, the actual sword energy! Isn't this a master-level master! How can such a person be willing to be someone else's subordinate?

Shocked, he still dodged away as soon as possible.

"Chi"

The light cyan sharp edge carved a shallow groove on the ground.

Chen Nan felt very strange. The power of the physical sword energy could not be so small. Even the ordinary sword energy was much stronger than this sword.

"Is it the fighting spirit of the West?" He confirmed his thoughts after carefully looking at the big man's sword-drawing posture.

The big man's fierce chops came again, and Chen Nan was forced to fight with the big man. The fighting spirit increased one after another, and the light green edge put Chen Nan in danger.

The young man standing nearby sneered: "Do ordinary hunters have such good martial arts? If you don't tell the truth, you will die without a burial place after ten moves."

Chen Nan hurriedly shouted: "Stop, I said."

The young master clapped his hands and said, "Stop."

The big man put away his sword and stood up, and said to Chen Nan: "Okay, boy, you actually took more than twenty moves from me."

Chen Nan sighed softly in the mainland Chinese spoken thousands of years ago: "No matter which era, the strong are respected. After my martial arts skills decline, I am destined to experience all kinds of unpleasant things. I will be bullied by dogs when I fall flat!"

He thought quickly and said: "Sir, if I say that I am an ordinary hunter who has learned martial arts, you will not believe me, but I can prove it to you."

The young master said: "How do you prove it?"

"I am a hunter, and of course I prove it with my abilities as a hunter." Chen Nan bent down, grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, put it to his nose, smelled it, and said, "I'm sure there is only one within three miles.

Except for tigresses, there are no other large beasts."

"Oh, are you really sure?" the young master asked.

"I am sure."

"Okay, Yang Chong, take a few people to the area to have a look."

A young man responded: "Yes." He led a few people and searched deeper into the woods.

Just during tea time, a tiger roar came from the distance. After a while, several people dragged back a dead tiger.

The young man glanced at the dead tiger, smiled faintly, and said: "It seems like you are really a hunter, but I still have some questions. It would take three days at the fastest to get out of the mountains from here. Did you chase that white tiger?"

Does the deer live for three days and three nights?" After saying this, the young man's tone turned cold and he shouted: "Tie him up."

Several masters rushed forward and pressed their sharp blades against Chen Nan's vital points. If he wanted to fight against so many masters alone, it would undoubtedly be like a worm shaking a tree, so he did not resist. He smiled bitterly in his heart. The little princess had just escaped.

The claws of others have become the captives of others.

One of the young master's subordinates said: "Third... Third Young Master, why did you tie him up and just kill him?"

Chen Nan could already hear some "taste" from the incoherent words of "Third Young Master", and was even more certain that this person was by no means an ordinary person.

The young master said: "Let's take him into custody first. I feel that this man is unusual. Before anyone took action against him, I didn't realize that he was a warrior."

Chen Nan began his second life as a captive, but this time his "treatment" was obviously much better than the first time. At least no one treated him as private property and "expressed their excitement" to him from time to time. This group of people

He is very disciplined and has no unnecessary words. Only the young master occasionally whispers a few words to the people next to him.

Two days later, Chen Nan had to lament the magic of fate. He actually saw the little princess again. Now there were only ten people left in the little princess's group. A total of four guards and two trainee magicians died in the process of fighting the giant snake.

The survivors were all seriously injured and have not recovered yet.

When the little princess saw the young master and his group, she was startled. She frowned slightly, but immediately showed a bright smile: "Tianyuan Continent is so small. I didn't expect to meet His Highness the Third Prince here."

The young master also had a smile on his face: "Yes, I didn't expect to see Her Royal Highness Princess Yu here."

The little princess smiled and said: "The third prince is not enjoying the blessings in the imperial city of the Moon Worshiping Kingdom, so why did he come to the border of our Chu Kingdom? Do you want to go as an envoy to our country? It seems that you don't have to go to the mountains to be an envoy to our country."
