What could I do even if I didn't want to? I wasn't a person who liked to take risks. Compared to the danger of encountering the Heavenly Master, the sense of loss in my heart was nothing.
Han Wennan and the others were the proud sons of heaven. Their current achievements were destined. As for me, I was lucky to have survived until now. I didn't need to compare myself to them.
If I had a chance, I would go there and have a share of the magic energy. If I didn't, I wouldn't be angry. If I couldn't find a chance, there was still the Tai Sui in Thailand. There was always a safe way.
I quickly put my thoughts aside and walked forward. I cut the soft tube and helped the spirit serpent swallow the liquid inside.
Along the way, the density of the terracotta warriors with magic energy increased. Later on, all the terracotta warriors had magic energy.
In the following day, we had only moved twenty meters forward. Every time we dug a terracotta statue, we would encounter the black aura's restriction. Everyone was in a state of tension. Han Wennan's goal of delaying had been achieved. Regardless of whether it was Chen Yangting or Miao Jue, neither of them had the time to sense the True Dragon Vein's aura, let alone discover it.
Han Wennan and I had the same interests. In the morning, we had dug out more than ten terracotta figures. I had to cut off the flexible tubes on each terracotta figure.
Yesterday, the sword was stained with a drop of liquid. Today, I purposely slashed my sword against the mountain wall, leaving as many flexible tubes as possible on the terracotta statue's side. Correspondingly, the amount of liquid that could be obtained would be greater.
According to my estimation, the spirit serpent had swallowed dozens of drops of liquid from each terracotta warrior. There were more than ten terracotta warriors, so they had swallowed several hundred drops.
The concentration of the liquid was much lower than the True Dragon Saliva. However, several hundred drops were equal to half of the True Dragon Saliva I had swallowed last time. I estimated that if the spirit serpent swallowed more than ten terracotta warriors, it would have the same amount as the True Dragon Saliva I had swallowed last time.
As I thought about this, I became suspicious. The Spirit Snake had only swallowed a small portion of the liquid left in the body after the soft tube was cut off. Moreover, there were only twenty of them, yet they were equivalent to the drop of True Dragon Saliva that I had swallowed.
If the size of the True Dragon Vein was the same as the True Dragon Saliva, then wouldn't the True Dragon Vein in front of them be hundreds of times larger than the one in the jade bracelet?
Although the true dragon vein in the jade bracelet had been used by the Metaphysics Association for many years, it was inevitable that it would become weaker and smaller. However, I still found it hard to believe that there was such a big difference.
If I was a descendant of some aristocratic family, I might have to fight for it. Unfortunately, I wasn't, so I could only let the Han Clan take advantage of it.
At noon, when we stopped to rest and eat, I purposely chose a place far away from everyone to sit down. I secretly called out the Spirit Snake and asked him about his current situation, how far he was from transforming into a dragon and how much of that liquid he needed.
The Spirit Snake excitedly scuttled around on my back. If it wasn't for my repeated reminders, this fellow who couldn't keep his cool would have laughed out loud.
After he excitedly scuttled around for a long time, he finally stopped and told me that he had stored more than half of the True Dragon Blood that he needed to transform into a dragon. As long as he could dig out a dozen more terracotta warriors in the afternoon, it would be enough for him to transform into a dragon.
I became excited. After the Spirit Snake transformed into a dragon, it would be equivalent to the Celestial Master realm. Although he was always crazy, unreliable, and liked to take advantage of others, his loyalty wasn't a problem. When he successfully transformed into a dragon, he would be a great help to me.
While I was calculating whether or not I could dig out enough terracotta warriors in the afternoon, Han Wennan suddenly walked towards me from afar. I quickly asked the Spirit Snake to go back and eat a few mouthfuls of rice. When Han Wennan arrived in front of me, I smiled and asked him, "What's up?"
Han Wennan had always been a serious person. At this moment, he wore a smile on his face. After he sat down next to me, he lowered his voice and said, "Our Han family has arrived. I'm here to inform you that you don't have to deliberately slow down in the afternoon."
At first, I was stunned. Then, a warning siren sounded in my head. I turned my head to hide the panic on my face and asked him, "Your family has arrived in Shenzhen so soon?
The True Dragon Vein should be not far from here. If we don't slow down in the afternoon, won't Miaojue and the others find us? "
The Han family had arrived too quickly. According to my original estimation, they would arrive at night at the earliest. At that time, I would have gathered enough liquid to avoid them. As long as I stayed far away from them, I wouldn't have to meet the Celestial Master. As for this case, the Han family would have discovered the problem when they were dealing with the True Dragon Vein. It was highly likely that they would have taken care of it.
But now that the Han family had arrived, it had completely disrupted my plan.
He said that it would be fine if they arrived in Shenzhen, but if they were already here, it would be over. It would be impossible to avoid meeting them. Once my identity was exposed, I would definitely die today.
Han Wennan smiled mysteriously at me and shook his head. "Of course, it's not just in Shenzhen. The direct descendants of the Han family have a special magical tool. When they are very close to us, we can sense it.
The person who came is my Fourth Uncle. He should be in this cave by now!
As for Miaojue and Chen Daozhang, it's already too late for them to find the True Dragon Vein. "
It's over!
These two words popped up in my mind. My face instantly paled. If it wasn't for the dark cave, I wouldn't have been able to conceal my expression.
I didn't say anything for a long time, but Han Wennan didn't suspect anything. He said to me excitedly, "This time, it's all thanks to Brother Zhang. Don't worry. Our Han family always knows how to repay favors. After this matter is over, if Brother Zhang needs anything, you can tell us. As long as we can do it, our Han family won't hesitate."
At this moment, I finally recovered from my desperate thoughts. My brain was spinning crazily. The Celestial Master of the Han family was about to arrive, but I wasn't willing to give up. I immediately said to Han Wennan, "Brother Han, it's not the time to celebrate yet. We can't be careless.
Although the Celestial Master of the Han family is here, it's best if we can keep this a secret. Why don't we wait until we return and let the Han family secretly take over this place? We won't leak any information. Isn't that better? "
The only thing I could fight for now was Han Wennan's attitude. I hoped that he could influence the Celestial Master of the Han family and persuade him to return before he found me.
It was the only way I could escape with my life.
Unexpectedly, Han Wennan smiled and said faintly, "My Fourth Uncle has arrived. It doesn't matter if Chen Yangting and the others find out. Moreover, my Fourth Uncle just sent me a message. He told me that we don't need to hide this matter. It's better to let Chen Yangting and the others spread the news.
In the afternoon, we should speed up. We don't need to worry about Professor Liang's terracotta warriors anymore. We should move forward and find the True Dragon Vein first. "
His words were completely out of my expectations. However, after thinking about it for a while, I instantly understood what he meant.
It wasn't a secret that the True Dragon Vein of the Metaphysics Society had been lost. The Young Phoenix Gathering that was held once every three years was approaching. At that time, the Metaphysics Society would definitely be at a loss. At such a crucial moment, the Han family suddenly obtained a True Dragon Vein. It didn't matter if they wanted to use it to attract the youths of the Metaphysics Society to join them or use it to help the Metaphysics Society overcome this crisis, it would greatly increase their power and prestige.
Thus, not only did the Han family not want to hide it, they even wanted to publicize it with great fanfare. Under such circumstances, Chen Yangting and Monk Miao Jue were the best publicity tools. There was indeed no need to hide it.
The pitiful excuse that I had racked my brain to come up with wasn't of any use at all.
I panicked and tried to struggle, but I couldn't think of any good excuse. I could only ask him when Fourth Uncle would meet up with us.
However, Han Wennan shook his head. He seemed to have some doubts as well. He said, "Just now, he sent a message saying that he discovered something in this cave and is preparing to investigate. He told us to go ahead and search for the True Dragon Vein on our own. He will naturally appear when we find the True Dragon Vein."
His words made me puzzled. There were many strange things in the cave. It was understandable that Han Wennan's Fourth Uncle would go and investigate it if he discovered something unusual.
However, Nan Gong had told me that all the Celestial Masters had to kill me on sight. There was no reason for Han Wennan's Fourth Uncle to let me go and investigate something else. Could it be that he still hadn't discovered my existence?
