Lu Li was indeed in the Dragon Horn Mountain. Blood Fairy had cracked a corner of the rune on the ground, which enabled Lu Li to enter the Dragon Horn Mountain from the dragon head mountain.
However, after entering the Dragon-horn Mountain, Lu Li could not move forward even an inch. The Dragon-horn Mountain was full of Divine Glyphs, and they were natural-born Slayer's Divine Glyphs.
Lu Li sensed a fatal danger. If he dared to move, he would be smashed into pieces.
"Divine marrow!"
Lu Li smelled a special scent, like the scent of an elk. It was lingering and lingering.
The smell of divine marrow was special and easy to recognize. Qin Zhan also said that there was a piece of divine marrow in the Dragon Horn Mountain. It must be up there.
Lu Li was excited. If he could get his hands on this piece of divine marrow, his divine body would have a breakthrough. He might not be able to fight against warriors at the peak of the third tribulation, but he could at least defeat average warriors of the third tribulation.
This was one of the ten treasures of body refinement!
Lu Li let Blood Fairy out and said, "Blood Fairy, you don't have to crack it completely. Just crack a corner and let me go up. There is divine marrow on it, which is of vital importance to me."
"Understood!"
Blood Fairy went to check. Cracking the runes was good for her. She could verify the runes she had learned and experiment. In this way, her knowledge of runes could be improved quickly.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Eleven warriors came, four to each team. Young Master Qin's team had eleven people because Lu Li was not there.
The eleven came to the Dragon Horn Mountain, which was not guarded by any monsters. There was only a formation of confusion.
The Dragon Horn Mountain was protected by powerful runes. Not even the powerful ones could go up. They had to wait for the Black Tortoise Fruit to ripen before they came down. Therefore, they did not set up an army here, just a formation of confusion.
The formation of confusion was simple. The eleven cracked it easily and went up to the Dragon Horn Mountain.
The Dragon Horn Mountain was two miles high. The entire mountain was like an icicle, crystal clear. Looking from the distance, it looked more like a dragon's horn.
They had just climbed up to a thousand feet when none of them dared to move. All of a sudden, cold air came out from the Dragon Horn Mountain. The coldness enveloped the Dragon Horn Mountain. The Black Tortoise Tree at the peak was faintly visible, which was quite strange.
"What a terrifying divine inscription!"
The expert from the Mu Clan, Mu Yuan, drew in a breath of cold air. He had studied Divine Inscriptions for many years, and the one he saw now was the most terrifying one he had ever seen. Not only that, it was a naturally formed Divine Inscription.
This cold Qi made him shudder. If he rashly went up, he would be frozen into an ice sculpture, and his life source would be erased in an instant.
The others all felt the danger and didn't dare to move. The Black Tortoise Fruit was only nine hundred zhang away from them.
Normally, they would be able to rush over and grab all the fruits in the blink of an eye. However, at this moment, they could only watch from afar.
"Xiu!"
One of them suddenly flew up into the air and rushed towards the top of the mountain. He stretched out his hand to grab a Black Tortoise Fruit.
"Rip!"
The Black Tortoise Tree at the top of the mountain suddenly trembled slightly, and then a white stream of air shot out from the Dragon Horn Mountain, instantly enveloping that person.
"Hiss, hiss ~"
The ten people below were filled with shock, and they sucked in cold breaths. After the person above was enveloped by the cold Qi, he instantly died, and countless small cracks appeared on his body. In the end, he turned into dust, and not even his bones were left.
"So horrible!"
Some people even had the thought of retreating. How could they pick the Black Tortoise Fruit with such horrible Divine Glyphs?
Getting the Black Tortoise Fruit was a great achievement, but staying alive was more important.
"Buzz!"
Muyuan took out a magic tool, which was a bronze mirror. He activated the bronze mirror and shot out beams of yellow light.
The yellow light penetrated into the cold Qi and actually melted it slowly. Although the speed was as slow as a snail, there was some progress.
A warrior of the Zhu Family next to him took out a brown wooden stick. That wooden stick pierced into the cold Qi, but it was not destroyed by the cold Qi. Instead, it began to absorb the cold Qi slowly.
The others took out their own magic treasures and methods, trying to break the Divine Glyphs.
They had no other way. Since they couldn't get the Black Tortoise Fruit quickly, they could only break it bit by bit, hoping that Qin Zhan and Young Master Fu could buy enough time.
"This speed is so slow. I guess it will take at least two or three days to get up."
Muyuan murmured and looked back. Listening to the roars behind him, he was not so sure.
If they could not withstand the Divine Glyphs and had to retreat, then the ten of them would all die. They couldn't even run away.
The others were complaining to themselves. The entire Dragon Horn Mountain was covered with Divine Glyphs that could weaken the warriors' divine energy. Inside, the loss of divine energy was even more serious.
If Qin Zhan and the others could kill some powerful beasts, then it would be fine. If they could not, then it would be difficult for them to survive for two or three days.
At this point, there was no other way out!
They made up their minds and continued to work on the Divine Glyphs. Bit by bit, they climbed up the mountain.
Lu Li sat with his legs crossed. He also realized that his divine energy was losing rapidly. But he was not worried because he had the Divine Liquid. He could replenish his divine energy by consuming a few drops.
What he was worried about was the Divine Glyphs. The Divine Glyphs here were so strong. Could Blood Fairy make a way out?
"Master!"
After the time for three incense sticks to burn, Blood Fairy finally said, "I cannot. The Divine Glyphs here are too complicated. They are all formed naturally.
The Divine Glyphs here are too strong. It will be hard to solve them. "
"Eh …"
Lu Li was disappointed. The treasure was right in front of him, but he felt it was so far away. He could smell it but not touch it. It was painful.
"Master, don't be hasty!"
Blood Fairy said again, "I will take another look and see if I can find a way."
While waiting, Lu Li thought about it. Should he use the Divine Metal to force his way up?
The Divine Metal was likely to be a fragment of a Holy Emperor's Divine Weapon. The Divine Metal could be so powerful that it could stand the Divine Glyphs.
The problem was that the Divine Metal was too powerful. All the disciples here were from major families. They might be able to figure something out based on the Divine Metal.
If someone could tell that he had a Holy Emperor's Divine Weapon, then there would be no place for him in the entire Second Heaven.
As a matter of fact, Lu Li did not know the value of a fragment of a Holy Emperor's Divine Weapon. However, when Young Master Fu held a fake fragment of a Holy Emperor's Divine Weapon, many people were drooling with envy.
Lu Li's fragment might be more valuable than a fake Holy Weapon.
After all, it contained the mark of a Holy Weapon. The value was immeasurable.
"No, I cannot use the Divine Metal unless it is a matter of life and death!"
Soon, Lu Li made up his mind. He could not take the risk.
Unless it was a fatal situation, he could not use the Divine Metal. Otherwise, once the outside world learned about it, he would be hunted down by all the forces at the Second Heaven. Even … the Demon King might come after him.
By then, not only would he be unable to ascend to heaven, but the Divinity would also be implicated. Many people would go to the Divinity to capture his family and force him to give up the Divine Metal.
If he could not get the Divine Marrow, he could find another way. Or, after several years, when Blood Fairy's attainment in Divine Glyphs improved, she could come back with Young Master Qin.
Once the Divine Metal was exposed, he would be doomed eternally.
"What?"
