The mountain territory occupied by the Void Mantis Emperor is called the Void Mountains.
And its core peak is called Void Mountain.
The thousand-mile radius of Void Mountain is where its imperial cave is located. If foreign enemies enter the territory of Void Mountain, they will fight to the death, let alone Void Mountain, where the Imperial Cave is located. With the Void Mantis Emperor's ferocity and cruelty, he doesn't care whether the other party covets his royal cave, he will tear it into pieces first.
No emperor dares to approach, not even the poisonous rock giant centipede dares to enter easily.
But now, Ye Fan and Dahui slowly came to the foot of Void Mountain.
The other peaks around Void Mountain are different. The ground is full of reddish-brown soil and gravel. The rocks are scattered here and there, and they are also red, as if they have been soaked in blood.
What's even more frightening is that there isn't even a single flower or grass on the mountain.
Even though there are no strange grasses of earth or fire type, although there are few spiritual trees in other mountain peaks, there are always some.
Only this Void Mountain is completely bare.
Looking from a distance, there is a sense of eeriness, and there is a strong blood evil aura all over the mountains and plains.
It wasn't Ye Fan's first time here, but he still felt a chill in his heart at this moment.
As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, a blue figure flew down from mid-air. It landed on the ground with a muffled "bang" and let out its unique low-spirited laugh, full of cruelty.
"Your Excellency is really punctual, but are you really planning to seize an imperial cave? I have already reminded you that even if it is the lowest imperial cave, the emperor who occupies it is not easy to mess with. To seize the imperial cave, It must be a life and death battle!"
The Void Mantis Emperor's long and narrow eyes sparkled with cold light, as sharp as a mysterious knife.
"No need to say more. You and Emperor Centipede, just give me some advice!"
Ye Fan didn't talk nonsense to it and said directly.
"Okay, since you want suggestions, I and Emperor Centipede will give you some good suggestions."
The Void Mantis Emperor nodded without any dissatisfaction.
Now it has a rough idea of some of Ye Fan's plans, and also knows why the other party has had many opportunities before, but has never killed him.
To put it bluntly, the other party is interested in his strong combat power and the indigenous people's familiarity with local conditions. Only the natives know many things about the Candle Dragon Sacred Cave.
Perhaps by killing himself and Emperor Centipede, the other party would gain a lot.
But if you don't kill, you will probably gain more.
The emperors of Dragon Bone Wasteland were too cautious and could not easily trust others, let alone outsiders. It was not easy for the black-robed Ghost Emperor to gain the trust of those guys. Instead of going to the trouble of making friends with other emperors, it would be better to simply make friends with the two emperors of your own.
After all, he and Emperor Centipede have never known each other before, and they know each other's strength well.
The Void Mantis himself is also more inclined to form an alliance, although this alliance cannot be more fragile.
This was all calculated by it and Emperor Centipede these days.
Because of this, Emperor Void Mantis confidently and boldly invited Ye Fan and Dahui to Void Mountain, which it regarded as its lifeblood, to visit its royal cave. Let Ye Fan know more information about the Imperial Cave.
When Emperor Centipede heard that Emperor Void Mantis asked Ye Fan to visit the Imperial Cave, and even invited Emperor Centipede to come together to discuss the matter of capturing the Imperial Cave, Emperor Centipede almost stared out of his eyes.
"Isn't Emperor Centipede here yet?"
Ye Fan and Da Hui followed the Void Mantis Emperor and asked casually.
"It's not here yet. I don't know if it's coming. It's rare for me to invite other emperors to visit my lair. It's afraid of this and that. It's unreasonable to worry that I will join forces with you to snipe it!"
The Void Mantis Emperor curled his lips and spat disdainfully.
Hearing this, Ye Fan also laughed a little.
The Poison Rock Giant Centipede Spirit Emperor is not as confident as himself. It is only normal to have such worries. After all, I am here to discuss with the two emperors about seizing the imperial cave. What if I have my sights on Emperor Centipede's imperial cave?
Emperor Shun does not dare to take risks and act recklessly. He will act with caution.
A man and two beasts were walking slowly on the mountain peak. The higher they walked, the stronger the blood evil aura became, which made people feel awe-inspiring and made their scalp numb.
It wasn't until halfway up the mountain that Ye Fan saw a cave entrance.
The entrance to the cave is very large, several feet in diameter, and the inside is even deeper.
All he could see was darkness, and as soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, a fiery breath came out.
"Looking at this cave, it is undoubtedly the residence of an emperor of the Zhulong lineage."
Ye Fan looked at the entrance of the cave, his eyes shining.
The interior is extremely deep, but the winding path is so deep that it is difficult to see the bottom.
After a pause, he continued: "However, the evil spirit in this imperial cave seems to be a bit stronger. It wouldn't be like this if a Candle Dragon Beast King died, right?"
"There are only a few dead. This was once a candle dragon royal nest. The candle dragons living in this entire mountain range even had their dragon eggs broken inside. Think about how many candle dragons died on this mountain. This The Void Mountain is soaked in the blood of the Candle Dragon."
The Void Mantis Emperor said with a hint of trembling and excitement.
"The territory was defended, but it appears that it was not held."
Ye Fan nodded, glanced at the whole mountain, and couldn't help but sigh.
What happened tens of millions of years ago? All the elites of the Zhulong lineage disappeared. The old nest was also attacked by a mysterious force, unable to resist at all, and the entire clan was wiped out... Those who survived would probably have migrated away long ago!
"We tried to find any clues from every corner of the imperial caves, or even the entire forbidden area. But there were none. It seemed that all traces had been erased."
"Perhaps the big shots in the Sanctuary know about it, but no news has ever been spread."
Having said this, the Void Mantis Emperor also showed a trace of doubt and looked at Ye Fan and said: "Speaking of which, you are outsiders. Isn't there any information record about the destruction of the Candle Dragon Sacred Cave in the big world?"
Ye Fan frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
In Blackwater Bay, he really didn't see any relevant records. Zhulong Mountain has always been regarded as a fire-based mine. Not long ago, it was discovered that there is a void passage deep in the mountain that can enter the small world of Zhulong.
There may be records there.
However, there are too many records in Shang, and they are too vast, spanning ancient and modern times.
It was impossible for him to read through it bit by bit or finish it.
Only when certain information is needed will an inquiry be made.
"It seems that I will ask Shang to help me look for it later. See if there is any record of what happened to the little aristocratic family in the Zhulong Holy Cave. How did they perish!"
Ye Fan thought in his heart.
Shang has fallen asleep.
Through deep sleep, it is its normal state to save and restore vitality as much as possible.
It was such a dispensable matter and not urgent, so Ye Fan didn't bother to bother it. He would ask about it later.
"Let's go."
Seeing that he couldn't know anything from Ye Fan, Emperor Void Mantis couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment.
A group of people entered the cave and passed through the twists and turns, the deep and bottomless tunnel.
Finally, when they stepped out of the long tunnel, Ye Fan, Big Hui, and Void Mantis appeared on a vast and desolate land.
"There is such a large space hidden in a small mountain peak?"
Ye Fan and Da Hui were stunned.
This land is very vast, about a thousand miles in scope. It cannot be compared with the lava land and forbidden land outside, but it is still shocking enough.
What's even more shocking is that this piece of land is very dilapidated, with obvious signs of cracks.
There are even ravines still there, and the whole land is broken, full of desolation and death.
In the center of this land is a huge stone platform with a diameter of about a hundred feet. It is red in color, has an ancient shape and is covered with traces of time.
On this stone platform, a mysterious bead about the size of a fist, like a ball of hot magma, was spinning in the air. The red silk ribbons that spilled out were fluttering like skirts, drawing mysterious trajectories in the sky, soft and beautiful. And light.
The moment he saw this strange thing, Ye Fan suddenly felt an extremely mysterious, ancient, wild and fierce aura rushing towards his face, making him almost suffocated.
"This is..."
Ye Fan and Da Hui both stared wide-eyed, intuitively feeling that this thing was very extraordinary.
"Candle Dragon Orb!"
At this time, Shang, who was sleeping in Ye Fan's body, was suddenly awakened and said to him.
"This is Dragon Ball!"
The Void Mantis Emperor on the side also said, with a complacent look on his face.
"Tsk! What kind of dragon beads? Dragon beads are the main lineage of the orthodox dragon clan, so they are qualified to condense the dragon beads. This mysterious bead of the Zhulong lineage is not worthy of being called a dragon bead, it is just a Zhulong orb."
Extremely disdainful.
"Candle Dragon Orb, what is it?"
Ye Fan was very curious and thought to himself.
"It is something unique to the dragon clan. It contains the secret understanding of the rules of the dragon clan's life. It is something that will only be born after the dragon clan's lifespan is exhausted and natural death. Sudden death will not occur."
"Descendants of high-ranking bloodlines often experience an explosion of bloodline, leading to a sudden 'epiphany'. But this kind of epiphany is uncertain and cannot be sustained, and one can only try one's luck."
"But this Dragon Clan Mysterious Pearl is different. The secret of the rules is in it. You can understand it at any time and use it for your own use."
Shang explained.
After hearing this, Ye Fan frowned and thought to himself: "So, in this Zhulong Orb, there are rules and secrets that Zhulong has understood. Doesn't that mean that they are almost all secret rules of the fire system?"
Thinking of this, Ye Fan was speechless and shook his head.
He is not a fire warrior, so the Candle Dragon Orb is of no use to him.
"Is the Void Mantis Emperor a fire element?"
Shang was silent for a moment and uttered a word silently.
Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but glance at the Void Mantis Emperor.
Unexpectedly, this sudden and weird move caused a misunderstanding by the Void Mantis Emperor. It suddenly became vigilant and jumped dozens of feet away in an instant, staring at Ye Fan nervously.
"Isn't this guy just trying to kill me because of the treasure?"
The Void Mantis Emperor was worried, and suddenly regretted bringing Ye Fan in so impulsively.
Fortunately, Ye Fan just glanced at it and turned his head, seemingly lost in thought.
This made the Void Mantis Emperor slightly relieved, but he did not completely relax his vigilance and was still on guard against Ye Fan.
"If you are not a fire-based person, can you still understand the secrets of the rules through the Candle Dragon Orb?"
Ye Fan asked.
"If the Candle Dragon Orb can only comprehend a series of rules and secrets owned by the dragon clan, then its use is too narrow, and it is not worthy of the covet and desire of so many races."
"It is true that there are rules and secrets in this mysterious bead, but it is more of a medium. Through it, you can better understand the rules and secrets, and understand the nature of this world more and deeper."
"Of course, if it matches the type of the orb, it will be easier to comprehend. But even if it doesn't match, it won't have much impact. At most, the effect will be slightly worse."
Shang said.
