Chapter 1126: Breaking the Formation and Entering the Hell Dragon's Lair
Chapter 1126: Breaking the Formation and Entering the Hell Dragon's Lair
Even though it is a hundred meters above the ground, it is still the root part of the World Tree.
Because the World Tree is ten thousand meters high and has broken through the clouds, the diameter of its roots can easily reach dozens or hundreds of meters. Its roots are intertwined above and below the ground, like a maze, forming densely packed passages under the tree, where many creatures live.
Among them, the cave under the tree discovered by Chen Yang was invisible to the naked eye. It was actually set up with concealing formations and blocking formations. Just like the cave of Xuanhuang Patriarch in the depths of Yunwu Mountain, it was blocked by formations and invisible to the naked eye. Even if it was discovered, it would be difficult to break.
Although Chen Yang's golden eyes could not see through the World Tree because of the obstruction of divine power, this hidden formation could not escape his sight.
He could even smell a hint of the Hell Dragon's scent from within the hidden formation barrier, and was certain that it was most likely the Hell Dragon's lair.
The hell dragon just now must have rushed out from this formation barrier, and suddenly attacked the three people without anyone noticing.
There were also vibrations under the tree roots, indicating that the Hell Dragon's lair was connected to the underground.
According to legend, the Hell Dragon gnawed the roots of the World Tree underground, absorbed the World Tree's divine power, and eventually gnawed the World Tree to death. At present, it seems very likely that this is really the case.
As long as Chen Yang enters the lair of the Hell Dragon, he will know everything.
However, this is a Jindan-level formation, very powerful. Chen Yang placed his palm on the formation barrier and infused it with magic power. He could clearly feel the thickness of the formation barrier, like an indestructible wall of steel.
He casually swung out a dark yellow air blade, which was powerful enough to cut through the main armor of the tank. It hit the formation barrier, but only made a crisp sound like the collision of metal, and splashed a string of brilliant sparks.
The formation barrier did not move at all, not even a trace appeared.
boom!
Then he punched out again, exerting a force of ten thousand tons, but it still didn't work. Only ripples like water waves appeared on the formation barrier, without any damage at all.
Chen Yang observed that this formation barrier had more than a dozen layers and was extremely complex. It was extremely difficult to break and would take at least ten days or half a month.
The fact that he could set up such an array showed that the person who set it up was no ordinary person, at least he must be a great Jindan master.
Maybe the ancestor of the Hell Dragon that was just killed was really Nidhogg. And this array barrier was set up by Nidhogg, and inside it was his lair.
This made Chen Yang very excited, because Nidhogg was an ancient god who could be compared with Odin, and it was possible that there were many treasures hidden in his lair.
For others, ten days or half a month is not long at all, and they can even wait for a year or two. But for the impatient Chen Yang, he simply cannot wait that long.
He wanted to go into the Hell Dragon's lair and take a look now.
Since it is too slow and difficult to crack the formation layer by layer, why not just smash it with a hammer and use brute force to break it open.
Just now he swung out a beam of Xuanhuang Qi and blasted out a Heaven and Earth Domination Fist. Although it had no effect, he already had a rough idea of the solidity of the formation barrier.
Since it is difficult to break it with your own strength, you can use the existing weapons.
Thinking of this, Chen Yang immediately swung up Thor's hammer.
Buzz!
Under the infusion of surging thunder magic power, Thor's hammer continued to expand. First, thunder emerged from the cracks of Thor's hammer, and then the entire hammer was covered with thunder.
He did not obtain the authority over the Spear of Eternity, but the authority over Thor's Hammer was in his hands. He couldn't say that he could exert 100% of its power, but 80% to 90% was certainly within his reach.
His only worry now was not to break the hammer.
After several great battles, more and more cracks appeared on Thor's hammer, and it might break at any time.
He had the idea of reforging Thor's hammer, or reforging Thor's hammer, the Eternal Spear, and other weapons into a new weapon, but it would take time.
When his skills have greatly improved and he has more time, he will use the existing materials to refine a great weapon that truly belongs to him.
Buzz!
Under the infusion of surging thunder essence, Thor's hammer soon expanded to the size of a truck tire and weighed dozens of tons. Countless lightning bolts jumped out like a huge thunder ball, emitting a light that was difficult to look at directly, which was more dazzling than the sun at noon on a hot summer day.
Feeling that the amount of Thunder Essence he had injected was almost enough and it was almost reaching the endurance limit of Thor's Hammer. If he continued to inject more, Thor's Hammer might shatter. So Chen Yang stopped injecting Thunder Essence.
Chen Yang did not dare to get too close to the formation barrier, because some of the violent energy would definitely bounce back and cause damage to himself.
For safety reasons, he even asked Qiao Wanjun and a group of magic wolves to leave the ancient killing formation and hide outside.
Afterwards, Chen Yang stood a hundred meters away from the formation barrier. He swung his right arm suddenly, making a 360-degree turn. When the speed reached its extreme speed, Thor's hammer flew out of his hand and shot towards the formation barrier like a meteor.
A dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and in an instant, Thor's hammer collided with the formation barrier.
First, there was a flash of light bright enough to blind a person's eyes, and then a shock wave visible to the naked eye expanded rapidly in all directions, accompanied by terrible thunder, like a sea of thunder, causing a disaster.
Boom!
It was not until this time that the earth-shaking roar reached his ears. Even Chen Yang's eardrums were buzzing.
Fortunately, this is the World Tree, which contains divine power and is indestructible. Although it was injured in the explosion, the damage was limited.
You know, the handle of Thor's hammer is taken from the world tree and is indestructible.
If it were an ordinary tree, even if it was dozens of meters in diameter, it would be shattered or even reduced to ashes.
Soon the smoke dissipated, and the formation barrier was covered with cracks. In the middle there was a hole as big as the mouth of a water tank. It should be the place where Thor's hammer collided. The force was the greatest, and a hole was smashed out.
Sure enough, great force can bring about miracles!
As long as the force is strong enough, even the strongest wall can be broken.
Chen Yang was delighted. Through the hole in the formation barrier that was the size of a water tank mouth, he could easily enter the space inside and find out what was going on.
However, the power of his attack, which was almost like a nuclear explosion, only created a hole and some cracks in the formation barrier, and did not cause the formation barrier to disappear completely. One can imagine how strong this formation barrier is, it must be at least at the Jindan level.
What’s even more amazing is that this broken formation barrier is still healing and repairing itself at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Wait for me outside, I'll go in and take a look." Chen Yang shouted to Qiao Wanjun.
For safety reasons, he went in to take a look himself and did not bring Qiao Wanjun with him.
In mythology, Nidhogg's lair is hell, so he is also called the Hell Dragon.
Even if it is not a real hell, it must be dark, damp, and bloody... and girls will definitely be traumatized after seeing it.
"Then you should be careful." Qiao Wanjun said with concern.
Indeed, the place where the Hell Dragon, such a terrifying creature, lives is definitely full of danger and filth. For her, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, she really doesn't want to go there.
"I will be careful."
Chen Yang replied, and then dived into the hole in the middle of the formation barrier.
hum!
As soon as he entered the formation barrier, Chen Yang suddenly felt a different breath. There was darkness in his vision, without any light. It was an empty and dead place, much more empty than Chen Yang had imagined, like an underground world.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that the Hell Dragon’s body is as huge as an Airbus A380, so the nest it lives in definitely cannot be small.
But what surprised Chen Yang was that despite the darkness and coldness, the vitality here was far more vigorous than that of the outside world, and the concentration of spiritual energy was far beyond what the outside world could compare to.
If there were sunshine, this would definitely be a vibrant world with singing birds, fragrant flowers and lush vegetation.
"Is there really a spiritual vein underground? The Hell Dragon is not gnawing on the roots of the World Tree, but on the spiritual vein?" This thought suddenly came to Chen Yang.
Buzz!
Chen Yang opened his golden pupils of clairvoyance, and his two eyes were like two light bulbs, emitting two beams of light, so that his eyes were not completely dark.
On the contrary, he saw it clearly.
Within the field of vision, there was a huge underground space as empty as a palace. It was completely deserted and there were no rare treasures or spiritual stones.
On the contrary, Chen Yang saw a lot of tree roots. The roots of old trees were intertwined, crisscrossing, like a tangled mess.
Moreover, there are teeth marks on many tree roots. It is obvious that those huge tooth marks were not left by humans, but were caused by the gnawing of the Hell Dragon.
Many tree roots have died, but some still have a hint of life, with crystal clear juice dripping from the bite marks.
Chen Yang took a drop and tasted it. It tasted the same as the holy spring water from the outside world.
Chen Yang suddenly realized that the legend was indeed true. The Hell Dragon feeds on the roots of the World Tree because the roots of the World Tree can secrete divine liquid.
The pool of divine spring water on the ground is not the divine spring water transformed from the underground spiritual veins, but the divine liquid secreted from the roots of the World Tree.
Chen Yang gazed at the ground with his golden eyes, and indeed he did not see any spiritual veins.
It’s just that the World Tree is dead, and the shallow roots are also dead, so it can only secrete very little juice.
In order to absorb fresh sap from the World Tree, the Hell Dragon had to dig its nest deep underground, because the roots deep inside had not yet died and could still secrete fresh sap.
So Chen Yang saw a cave leading deep underground.
Sending his spiritual thoughts outward and sensing, Chen Yang discovered that the cave leading to the deep underground was not straight up and down, but was dug downwards along the roots of the trees, crisscrossing like an underground maze, but overall it tended to lead deep underground.
Looking at these maze-like underground passages, Chen Yang really doubted whether the World Tree was eaten to death by the Hell Dragon, because too many roots had been eaten, and the deepest part of the cave even reached an astonishing depth of several thousand meters.
This discovery shocked and disappointed Chen Yang.
What is shocking is that the Hell Dragon’s teeth are so powerful that it is simply an expert at chewing tree roots, a legendary foodie.
A foodie destroyed the world. Who would believe it if I told them?
Chen Yang was disappointed that the Hell Dragon's lair was empty, without any natural treasures. At least his divine sense did not sense any divine power or spiritual power fluctuations.
Of course, there are treasures here, namely the fresh roots of the world tree.
But he obviously couldn't bring himself to let Chen Yang gnaw on the tree roots and suck the divine liquid inside.
Besides, he didn't want to do such a thing that would cut off his lineage.
The World Tree is the spiritual root of heaven and earth. Eating the roots of the World Tree is an act against heaven and will not have a good end.
Chen Yang was disappointed that the treasure he had thought it would be did not appear.
Boom boom boom!
Just as he was about to leave, a faint vibration sound suddenly reached his ears.
If you listen carefully, the sound is like a heartbeat, very rhythmic and has a certain frequency.
"Oh my god, could there still be a living Hell Dragon in this lair?" Chen Yang was suddenly shocked.
Come to think of it, if there is only one Hell Dragon left, how can it reproduce?
Where there is a male, there must be a female!
There is probably other hell dragons in this nest.
The sound came from deep underground, and Chen Yang followed the sound.
He is also a man of great skill and courage, and is not afraid of anything.
Hundreds of meters underground, in a complex maze passage, Chen Yang indeed saw the figure of a huge western pterosaur.
Although this pterosaur was huge, it was much smaller than the one killed by Chen Yang just now. Its size was roughly the same as a medium-sized passenger plane. Its body was covered with black scales, its head and horns were ferocious, and its two large scarlet eyes, like two lit blood lamps, stared at Chen Yang.
Those eyes were filled with anger, hatred, and a hint of fear.
Whoohoo!
As the Hell Dragon breathed, wisps of black smoke emerged from its nostrils. The black smoke was extremely smelly and obviously contained a deadly poison.
This should be a mother dragon from hell, because there are three giant eggs beneath its body, each of which is more than one person tall.
Apparently, the mother dragon was incubating eggs.
Chen Yang even suspected that this female Hell Dragon already knew that he had killed the male Hell Dragon, otherwise there would be no hatred in her eyes.
The male hell dragon he killed was most likely a pair with this female hell dragon.
Chen Yang held the Thor's hammer, which had been infused with magic power, and the hammer head turned into a thunder ball as big as a basin.
To cut the weeds, we need to get rid of the roots!
Chen Yang originally wanted to kill the mother hell dragon with a hammer, but when he saw four giant eggs under the mother dragon's body, he suddenly softened his heart.
This is a female dragon who is about to become a mother!
Mother's love is the purest and most selfless in the world.
If it weren't for the four eggs, Chen Yang believed that the mother dragon would have already pounced on him, and he would have definitely smashed it with a hammer.
"Forget it, for the sake of the four eggs, I will spare your life today. I hope you take care of yourself and don't make mistakes!" Chen Yang said coldly, looking at the mother dragon.
After saying that, he turned around and left.
However, just as he turned around, an earth-shaking roar suddenly came from behind him.
With this roar, a stream of pale green venom gushed towards Chen Yang like a flash flood.
This mother dragon of hell was not going to let Chen Yang go after all.
