Liz estimated that the system intended to use the players to locate the secret realm; however, the fact that the players lost most of the system’s support functions indicated that the system’s plan had failed. As part of the system, could it tolerate being harvested by them—or rather, by someone—for barbecue? The green dragon is a remarkably beautiful creature, undoubtedly the most attractive among the five great dragons. Upon seeing its usefulness, Shen Lun continuously wielded the Moon God Spear, unleashing one cascading waterfall after another into the sky, like waves engulfing the golden light that filled the air. Each surge swept away some golden needles, dimming the radiance bit by bit. Even the three Knights of the Round Table who once sought the Holy Grail faced the same fate; rumors said their wishes were never fulfilled, with some claiming the Grail was an evil artifact that consumed them. Youhuo sat on the floor, hands tied behind her back, bound to the pillar supporting the roof. At that moment, Shen Lun’s seemingly kind gesture actually rescued her from the wolf’s den only to thrust her into an even darker inferno. All the robed figures were stunned at once—they finally understood the source of the rumbling and shaking: a massive claw had pierced through the mountain where they stood, creating a huge hole. Mengmeng’s real name is Lu Ling, the same age as Xiao Ruoguang—12 years old. When Lu Ling’s fire broke out at age ten, she topped the monthly and even annual charts with a cute song. No matter how many professional singers objected, today’s society values cuteness above all. In our world, there are no truly powerful elves or divine beasts; the few formidable ones live almost in isolation, such as Silverwind and Baize. So I said no more and forced myself to relax, cautiously observing the danger while calming my mind. “Uncle, uncle, it’s me! I want to sue these unruly peasants!” Qian Duoduo angrily pointed at Gou Dan and the others.

People say that the old healer Zhang owns three treasures, one of which is the Jade Regenerating Ointment that removes scars and promotes skin growth. “Someone, serve tea to our guest, and bring some of the new style pastries as well,” Princess Duan Su Yingxue said with a friendly demeanor, a graceful and appropriate smile gracing her face. Ling Yao did not hesitate, picking up her chopsticks directly to take a piece of fish, which was richly coated in red chili and oil. Kong Xian pondered that since Yaohui had so easily terminated the contract with Tang Fei, wasn’t he giving up a rough jade that, with a little polishing, could become a money tree? This was a pit-style cave dug downward; due to long-term abandonment, it had no electricity. Pei Yizhi also spotted Duanmu Xuan; since their two companies had business dealings, he recognized the man at a glance. Like Yun Qingyue, upon seeing Duanmu Xuan's actions, he remained silent. Now, pedestrians gradually began to appear on the streets, and some shops prepared to open. You Jingyan quickly changed the subject; his loud question was merely a formality. As for how the injuries occurred, that was none of his concern. Yet at this moment, the middle-aged man's stern gaze softened considerably when it fell on Monica, tinged with a hint of indulgence. Hearing this, Li Yong felt relieved and quietly left Yuanhao Peak on his sword. He belonged to the Qianji Peak sect, which was hostile to Yuanhao Peak. If anyone noticed, trouble was inevitable. The bodies soaked in adrenaline and dog blood trembled incessantly, then soon collapsed stiffly to the ground, black smoke rising from both corpses. In the past, even after surviving life-threatening ordeals, he had never experienced this sensation—as if he had truly touched the edge of death itself.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuanhao regularly sent out a sliver of spiritual awareness to probe the cave’s anomalies. Since his promotion to the Foundation Establishment stage, his spiritual perception range had expanded from just over nineteen zhang to more than twenty-four—an increase of five zhang—allowing him to detect disturbances from farther away. To avoid attracting government attention, the ships built in Mingzhou were not fitted with any weaponry; instead, they reserved spaces for future installation. The crossbows intended for the ships would be manufactured at Liangshan and assembled at sea. Jiang De nodded, saying, “Exactly. Though the northwest is vast, much of it is unsuitable for farming, but this cotton doesn’t require fertile land, so it can be utilized.” The former became famous overnight, even more astonishing than before. Nearly every sect had a portrait of Ye Chen hanging for disciples to recognize him—warning them never to provoke him. The burly man was still stubbornly silent, which left Yu Xu momentarily at a loss. Yu Qing kept urging from outside, and in a sudden impulse, Yu Xu forcefully pinched the injured spot on the burly man’s body. Unable to endure the pain, the man begged, “Good man, spare me! I’ll talk, I’ll talk.” Thus, the two said nothing further as they slowly traveled for dozens of miles. In the distance, a vast expanse of golden light shimmered, casting a rosy glow across half the sky. “Master asked me to run an errand,” he said at the doorway, putting on his shoes without looking back. The phrase “Julu Zhe Julu Shizha” refers to the northern Indian kingdom of Gandhara, used here to denote Gandhara and all regions north of India. Late at night, the sky resembled a piece of washed, coarse blue-black cloth, with stars scattered like sparkling fragments of gold. However, as Tang Yi glanced back at the large wolfdog’s glaring eyes, the animal suddenly froze as if seeing a ghost and immediately stopped barking.
