Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 704 Re-exploring Ancient Ruins (2)

Ye Qing was startled upon hearing this.

He quickly jumped back and hissed, "Who!"

Just then, a figure jumped down from the tree trunk where he was!

This was a man, over 1.8 meters tall, with an extremely upright posture. However, at this moment, he had a lewd smile on his face that Ye Qing only ever saw on Qi Ping'an. He was sizing Ye Qing up with a grin and said, "Brother, you've been hiding under the tree where I was hiding for so long, and you didn't even notice me!"

Ye Qing shook her head.

"Don't be nervous!" the man smiled. "I'm all alone, and I won't kill you. I don't work for any of the seven major powers; I only represent myself. I have no interest in points or rankings or anything like that. I'm mainly here to look for some opportunities!"

At this point, he smiled and said, "I see you're acting alone, and this place looks dangerous. How about we team up, and I'll lead the charge for you? It'll be a win-win situation!"

During the conversation, a hint of cunning flashed across his eyes.

“Great!” Ye Qing was just worried that no one would pave the way for him.

"Alright!" The man chuckled and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm from Xuan Chen Star. My name is Chen Xuan. What's your name, brother?"

"Ye Qing!" Ye Qing said, "From Xuan Yue Star!"

"Xuan Yue Star?" Chen Xuan glanced at Ye Qing with slight surprise and said, "I've heard that place is quite chaotic, but unfortunately I've never been there."

"Yes!" Ye Qing nodded and said.

"Did you also get in here through connections in search of an opportunity?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

"No, I work for someone else!" Ye Qing said.

"Working..." Chen Xuan looked at Ye Qing strangely and said, "Brother, you're quite interesting. Shall we go?"

"Let's go!" Ye Qing said.

However, although they talked, neither of them moved, as if they both wanted the other to go first.

"Didn't you say you'd send me ahead to scout out the way?" Ye Qing asked.

“This place looks relatively safe. I’ll let you take this safe route first, and I’ll scout the next part!” Chen Xuan chuckled.

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded.

Then he walked forward!

"Damn it!" After walking a few steps, Chen Xuan looked at the huge Blue Cloud Tree and said, "Such a big Blue Cloud Tree, it must have at least a dozen Blue Cloud Fruits. I wonder which bastard picked them all. I'm so envious!"

Ye Qing was speechless, but gritted her teeth and said, "Yes!"

As he spoke, he carefully stepped across the area riddled with arrows.

Because three people had climbed up from here, he wasn't too scared, but he still carefully made his way up!

They didn't encounter too many troubles along the way, and finally, after a while, they arrived at the nearest building!

The building is made of some unknown material, it looks a bit like wood, but despite the passage of time, there are no signs of decay!

It looked dilapidated, but there were many signs of activity inside. It seemed that the three people hadn't stayed in this place for long.

"I reckon the first group has already looted everything here. Shall we waste our time and continue deeper?" Chen Xuan's voice came from behind.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Okay, why don't you go first this time?"

Chen Xuan chuckled dryly and said, "That works too!"

As he spoke, he continued walking forward.

No one has been here for who knows how many years. Although there are buildings, they are surrounded by overgrown weeds. So when someone passes by, they always leave some traces. The two of them tried to persuade each other to go first, but they both followed the traces.

"Brother!" Chen Xuan said after walking for a while, "If we just follow the path they took, we probably won't find anything! Any treasures ahead have probably already been looted by those who went in first!"

Ye Qing thought that made sense.

The mountain range stretches endlessly, with some buildings on each peak. It's not necessary to follow the paths others have taken, but... taking other paths is very risky, and both of them are cunning and shrewd, unwilling to take the risk!

Ye Qing looked at Chen Xuan and said, "Then, in Brother Chen's opinion, what should we do?"

"I took a look!" Chen Xuan said, looking at the continuous mountain range ahead. "The building over there is the largest, and that mountain peak is in the middle of all the peaks. If I'm not mistaken, that direction should be the largest inheritance site in this area. Why don't we go there?"

"Sure!" Ye Qing said, then stared straight at Chen Xuan! He didn't intend to move an inch!

Chen Xuan also remained still, and for a moment, an awkward expression appeared on both of their faces.

Chen Xuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Forget it, let's catch up with those people first. It'll be safer that way!"

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded in agreement.

The two continued their journey, following the trails left by others.

It took about ten minutes to walk!

Ye Qing and Chen Xuan's pupils both contracted slightly!

They saw an ancient stone tablet in front of them, but in front of the tablet, two figures lay on the ground.

"Ok?"

The two men's expressions shifted, and they quickly moved closer!

There were no injuries on either of them. After checking themselves over, Chen Xuan said, "They're dead!"

Ye Qing also carefully examined the corpse in front of him, then nodded and said, "Dead too!"

“There are no injuries whatsoever!” Chen Xuan frowned and said, “It doesn’t seem like he was poisoned either. This death is too damn bizarre. Could it be that his soul was bewitched by this stone tablet?”

Ye Qing looked towards the stone tablet!

On this stone tablet, in the center, are two large characters: Sword Peak!

These two words have transcended countless years and still exist there, giving Ye Qing an incomparably profound feeling. At a glance, he even seemed to feel the mighty sword energy coming from ancient times!
