642 The Feathered Serpent and the ruins
Although he had long known that there were ruins of buildings overseas, Tang Zhen did not expect that he would actually encounter one so quickly!
After all, according to what situ Yuanzhi had said, the ruins of buildings in the overseas region were extremely rare, and most of them had already been destroyed by the barbarians. There were not even any broken walls left.
And according to the report of the Holy Dragon City soldiers, the ruins of the City Tower discovered this time were extremely complete, and there were not many traces of destruction!
After Tang Zhen learned of this news, he immediately had the impulse to investigate.
Tang Zhen had many doubts in his heart regarding this overseas region. He had a faint feeling that the answers were most likely hidden within these building ruins.
Although Tang Zhen already had a guess in his heart according to the information he had collected, he would not easily come to a conclusion before he found clear evidence.
After all, this kind of matter was not child’s play. On the contrary, it was of great importance. It was understandable for Tang Zhen to be a little cautious.
Ten minutes later, Tang Zhen and ten other cultivators from the Holy Dragon City Base boarded the plane and headed straight for the ruins of the building.
During the flight of the plane, the figures of various monsters could be seen from time to time, many of which were in groups.
There were a lot of monsters in the ocean. The barbarians had been fighting with them for countless years, but they could only maintain a relatively balanced state. This showed how difficult it was to deal with these monsters.
It was also the existence of these monsters that limited the development of the Barbarian race. The population had always been maintained at about a million.
It sounded like a large number of people, but the land under their feet was vast and rich in resources. Even if the number of barbarians was several times more, it was enough to support them easily.
In the end, it was because of the existence of the monster that the Barbarian race did not develop and grow without restraint. It also reduced a lot of resistance when Tang Zhen was conquering the overseas lands.
The plane flew rapidly across the vast sea of Trees. From time to time, it would fire its cannons and kill the flying monsters that tried to block its way!
When they passed by a mountain peak, an incomparably huge three-headed feathered snake suddenly charged straight toward the plane that Tang Zhen was on. It seemed as though it wanted to swallow him in one gulp.
This three-headed Feathered Serpent was a three star horde leader and could definitely be considered an Overlord!
It was a pity that this fellow deserved to die. He actually dared to attack the plane that Tang Zhen was in. He clearly didn’t realize that there was another two-star King tier on the plane!
In the end, the monster had yet to approach the aircraft when it was firmly captured by the large hand that Tang Zhen had conjured with his mental energy. After which, it was ruthlessly smashed into the dense forest below.
With a loud bang, the three-headed Feathered Serpent fell heavily to the ground. Countless trees were broken under its body, and some even pierced into the body of the Feathered Serpent, revealing the bloody broken branches.
The heavily injured Feathered Serpent did not show any anger or unwillingness. Instead, a human-like expression appeared on its huge head. It was filled with fear, and panic flashed in its cold eyes.
It suddenly jumped up from the ground, ignoring the injuries on its body. It let the blood ooze out from its scales as it charged straight into the depths of the dense forest.
Unfortunately, before it could escape far, a saber with black flames floating around it was shot directly at its head.
It was as if the blade was not hindered at all. It easily pierced through one of the feathered snake’s heads and nailed it to the ground.
The remaining two snake heads had different expressions. One of them was filled with sorrow while the other was filled with rage. They both looked up at the sky.
It revealed its huge poisonous fangs. It seemed to have realized that it could not escape and decided to fight to the death.
As a result, this was the last thing the feathered snake saw when it was alive. Then, it felt the world spin around it, and two huge heads rolled and fell into the dense forest.
“A few of you, come here and collect the useful materials from this three-headed Feathered Serpent.”
Following Tang Zhen’s orders, a few Holy Dragon City cultivators quickly came forward and began to deal with the huge corpse of the three-headed Feathered Serpent.
With Tang Zhen’s current strength, the corpse of this three star horde leader level monster was already of no use to him.
However, to the Holy Dragon city’s cultivators, the giant snake’s skin, teeth, brain, and gallbladder were all precious items worth thousands of gold. Any one of them was worth everything an ordinary lord cultivator had.
Therefore, Tang Zhen would kill some similar monsters from time to time and send them to Holy Dragon City.
On one hand, it could reduce the Holy Dragon Legion’s danger and obstacles. On the other hand, it could be treated as a benefit and provided to all the cultivators in the Holy Dragon City.
According to the rules of the Holy Dragon City, as long as the cultivators in the loucheng had enough points, they could exchange for the body materials of these Lord-tier monsters with only a small amount of money.
The purpose of this clearly unprofitable business was to stimulate the Holy Dragon city’s cultivators so that they would continue to cultivate and improve.
These Holy Dragon City cultivators were all Lord-ranked, and their speed was extremely fast. Dealing with monsters was a piece of cake for them.
After dealing with all the gains, everyone boarded the plane again and headed straight for the ruins of the building.
This was an area with lush forests. Compared to other places, the trees here were taller, and from time to time, some rugged and ferocious rocks could be seen between the giant trees.
Huge vines drooped down from the boulders and then spread to the trees, forming a scene similar to a tent canopy.
There were some cute macaque-like animals living here, picking the fresh red fruits on the vines for food.
As the plane flew across the sky, these creatures shrieked in fear and quickly hid among the branches and leaves of the vines. They looked around in horror.
The location that Tang Zhen was heading to was a giant mountain peak that was similarly covered with vines. It was only over ten kilometers away from here.
The plane was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived near the giant mountain. Then, under the guidance of the ground personnel, it quickly landed.
As Tang Zhen’s figure appeared, the Holy Dragon City Army’s members who had been waiting for a long time immediately cast their gazes over. Their eyes were filled with respect.
After saluting, the team leader of the Holy Dragon City cultivators did not wait for Tang Zhen to ask and began to report the specific situation to him.
It turned out that the Holy Dragon city’s search team had found traces of barbarian activity by a small stream when they passed by this place in the early morning the day before.
They immediately laid low and waited. Sure enough, it didn’t take long for several barbarians to appear and collect water to catch fish.
According to the experience he had accumulated during this period of time, whenever such a situation occurred, it meant that there must be a barbarian tribe nearby.
The Holy Dragon city’s soldiers did not beat the grass to scare the snake. Instead, they continued to wait patiently. They were prepared to follow the vine to the melon and find the old nest of these barbarians. Then, they would call for fire support and blow up their hiding place.
However, no one had expected that a monster would suddenly appear by the river when these barbarians were about to leave. At the same time, it treated these barbarians as food.
One of the barbarians was so flustered that he ran into the hiding place of the Holy Dragon city’s soldiers. Naturally, he also discovered the helpless Holy Dragon city’s soldiers.
In the end, the monster was shot dead after a fierce battle. Other than a severely injured barbarian who managed to escape, the rest of the barbarians were all killed on the spot.
The Holy Dragon City soldiers pursued relentlessly, but they soon discovered the ruins of a building hidden behind a mountain, following the trail of blood on the ground.
After a simple investigation, the loucheng Kingdom Warriors felt that the ruins were very dangerous, so they didn’t continue to explore. Instead, they immediately reported to the command center and waited for further orders.
This was the whole story. Other than the injured barbarian, who was not found, it seemed that the appearance of the ruins of the building was just an accident.
However, after listening to the Holy Dragon City cultivator’s introduction, his brows furrowed slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
