It was a valley, not large in area, but filled with a myriad of plants of countless colors. Sunlight filtered through the colorful poisonous clouds above, and different spiritual lights shimmered on the countless unique plants. Anyone who saw them at a glance would notice their extraordinary nature.
And at the center of these extraordinary plants was a lake divided into red and white colors. The icy white side emitted cold white mist, while the fiery red side was so hot that the air itself was distorted. In An Zhen's perception, an endless aura of Life seemed to emanate from the lake.
"Oh my god!"
Tianmeng Iceworm exclaimed, "The concentration of heaven and earth energy here is at least five times that of the Star Dou Great Forest's core circle!"
There was such a treasure land in this World!
However, recalling what that boy said earlier, the situation here was probably inextricably linked to the existence he mentioned, one not weaker than the Ice God.
"In ancient times, there was a Dragon who called himself the Dragon God, the ancestor of all Dragons on the Douluo Plane. His strength was enough to be called the King of Gods. He had nine sons, and each Dragon King was also a leader among the Gods. During the Dragon God War, the Dragon God was defeated, and those Dragon Kings either died or were sealed. Now, this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is the fallen ground of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King."
An Zhen's divine soul voice echoed in Huo Yutong's mind.
"Dragon King!"
Tianmeng Iceworm exclaimed.
True Dragons, they were undoubtedly existences that transcended many Spirit Beasts, and Dragon Kings…
"You intend to have Yu Tong absorb the Ice Dragon King's divine soul?!"
"Correct, but there's no prize."
"Whew~"
The golden-haired otaku Tianmeng Iceworm took a deep breath nervously, her enormous evil form heaving, creating surging waves.
This was simply too audacious.
"Humans and Spirit Beasts are mortal enemies!"
"Then why did you choose to help Yu Tong achieve her goal?"
Under Electrolux's protection, An Zhen strode forward.
"There are two decent divine souls in here."
Electrolux said.
An Zhen grasped the key point.
"Are they divine souls, not just souls?"
"They have some divine soul characteristics, but overall, they have fallen to the level of souls."
The dead spiritual light in his gray eyes reflected everything in the World. Electrolux explained in detail, "Their souls were oppressed and dissected by the laws of heaven and earth. The power of their bodies and souls was extracted to create this treasure land, this entire World."
"If these powers could be recovered, they could indeed return to the God-level. But their power has already been assimilated by this World. What remains below are treasures, but what originally belonged to them now belongs to this World."
To put it simply, the game character's seven divine artifacts were stripped away.
"It seems the situation is even better than I thought."
This way, Huo Yutong would most likely not need Ice Emperor as a backup.
As the saying goes, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Even after ten thousand years, having lost their sentience and only retaining their instincts, the quality of the Ice Fire Dragon King's souls would likely still be superior to the Ice Emperor's soul.
"Who's there!"
A clear female voice rang out, carrying a hint of heroism. A wave of heat rushed forward, and the temperature in the valley instantly rose.
It was a plant entirely fiery red, very tall, shaped like a cabbage, as if carved from rubies.
"Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product Youyou, Blazing Apricot,嬌疏 A Jiao, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass Octagonal, you three are the bosses here, right?"
Under the gaze of many plant-type Spirit Beasts, the handsome young man slowly spoke out the scientific names of the three one-hundred-thousand-year Immortal Herbs, as well as the names they gave themselves.
"Who are you? How do you know Youyou's name?"
A gentle female voice sounded, asking with the curiosity of a child.
"Allow me to introduce myself." An Zhen felt it necessary to leave a good impression on his future subordinates. The young man showed what he believed to be a charming smile, "My name is An Zhen, and I'm here to rob you!"
All the plants: "?"
"Huh? Robbery? Are you a bad person?!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product finally reacted.
"Boom!"
The handsome gray-clad youth raised his hand, and the gray, dead spiritual power transformed into seemingly infinite chains that emerged from his palm. The ominous chains were pure to the extreme in their spiritual power.
In the blink of an eye, before many plant Spirit Beasts could react, countless gray chains precisely appeared above each of their plants.
Danger!
For the first time since their consciousness was born, the many plant Spirit Beasts felt the threat of death.
Looking at those gray chains, it felt as if their souls would be seized in the next second. The ominous spiritual power was like an innate nemesis to them.
"Just some food."
If it weren't to protect An Zhen and Huo Yutong, Electrolux wouldn't have paid these plants any mind at all.
His gray, deathly eyes turned towards the red and white lake. Ancient words from another World were uttered by Electrolux, and the spiritual power sealing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well began to operate in a specific way. A gigantic illusory array slowly condensed in the sky.
He was going to "capture" those two fellows underground.
"You… you…"
The pink large flower trembled slightly, seemingly very afraid of the spiritual power. Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product now looked like a weak woman who had been bullied, "How can you be so bad!"
"I warn you, this place was left behind by that person ten thousand years ago!"
Blazing Apricot,嬌疏's voice rang out, a powerless threat, "There are rules here."
"Ridiculous."
An Zhen, holding Huo Yutong, surveyed the Immortal Herbs around him, "Humans hunting Spirit Beasts still have so many rules and regulations, not to mention, why should I abide by others' rules?"
An Zhen was puzzled, why were there so many rules for taking an Immortal Herb?
When he killed Spirit Beasts, the Spirit Beasts didn't say there were any rules. It was just the law of the jungle, unless you could bring out a stronger one to suppress him.
Did the Immortal Herbs have owners?
Dugu Bo? He had been dead for who knew how long, and besides, these grasses weren't planted by him.
Tang San? Just sticking a sign makes it yours? I stick a sign on the Douluo Continent, and it doesn't mean the whole Continent is mine.
If it really came down to it, it should be the Ice Fire Dragon King. After all, these guys were raised by the energy transformed from the Ice Fire Dragon King's corpse.
But he was here to "hunt" the Ice Fire Dragon King.
I'm going to lock the souls and extract the bones of the owners here, so what are the grasses in the courtyard?
"You'll suffer divine retribution!"
Blazing Apricot,嬌疏 let out an unwilling roar.
"Then that divine retribution will also be mine."
"…"
You really are a bandit! You want to snatch everything!
Many plant Spirit Beasts, whether one-hundred-thousand-year or ten-thousand-year, were helpless at this moment. They could only watch An Zhen search for things among them, praying in their hearts that it wouldn't be them.
An Zhen found what he wanted.
It was a completely emerald green, unassuming grass. In the middle of the herb were three white leaves, and on the leaves were some crystal-clear liquids, like morning dew.
Look Through Autumn Water Dew.
He pulled it out.
"Yu Tong, open your mouth."
The girl obediently opened her cherry-like mouth.
The dew-like liquid dripped into her mouth, and the herb withered rapidly in one or two breaths. A few tiny, seed-like objects fell into An Zhen's hand.
"Go."
An Zhen threw the seeds beside Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product, instructing, "Find a good spot and plant the seeds."
"Huh? Oh."
Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product was stunned for a moment, then obediently took action. Purple light lifted the seeds, and they disappeared into the soil.
"Youyou!" Blazing Apricot,嬌疏 felt like she had a pig teammate, "Why are you listening to him?!"
