Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 377: Exploring the Ruins Again!

Lin Xuan hadn’t explained how he scared off the Blackwater Mystic Snake before, and he didn’t explain now either.

Seeing Lin Xuan smiling without speaking, the Qingshan Dragon General was taken aback. Seemingly having realized something, he waved his hand and said, "Champion Marquis, please come over here with me."

The three Dragon Generals escorted Lin Xuan out of the Martial Arts Arena and led him to a large hall. Upon entering, the Qingshan Dragon General brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Lin Xuan.

"Champion Marquis, can you tell us now?" he asked.

Lin Xuan took the teacup and sipped it. He mulled it over for a moment. I have to keep my identity as a Dragon Warrior a secret, he decided. It’s far too astonishing. He quickly thought of another excuse.

"You know that I practice a Fist Technique called the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist, correct?" he said. "This Fist Technique has a move called World-Ending Dragon’s Might. Once executed, it carries a powerful Dragon Dao Power capable of intimidating everything in the vicinity, and it is especially effective against snakes."

As he spoke, Lin Xuan stood up and threw a punch, unleashing the World-Ending Dragon’s Might. A radiant light burst forth from his fist as the image of a great serpent coiled in the air above them. The terrifying aura made the Dragon Generals’ faces pale.

So this is the legendary World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist? That Dragon’s Might is truly frightening! No wonder the Champion Marquis could scare off the Blackwater Mystic Snake. It turns out he was relying on such an Ultimate Skill.

The Dragon Generals finally understood.

In reality, the World-Ending Dragon’s Might wouldn’t necessarily be enough to scare off the Blackwater Mystic Snake. At least, if anyone else were to use it, they would not be able to achieve the same effect. Lin Xuan succeeded because he was a true Dragon Warrior.

Retracting the Dragon’s Might, Lin Xuan sat down again, took another sip of tea, and said, "Previously, I heard Elder Chen say that Blackwater Mystic Snakes usually appear in places with a Dragon Vein. However, those ruins are quite far from any Dragon Vein, in a very remote location. It’s strange for a Blackwater Mystic Snake to appear there. We later analyzed it and concluded that the ruins couldn’t be a Dragon Vein, but they might possess something related to one. So, I plan to explore those ruins."

Lin Xuan made his intention clear. He was determined to enter a Dragon Vein and obtain the Serpent Soul, and now that an opportunity had presented itself, he naturally wouldn’t miss it.

Hearing Lin Xuan’s plan, the three Dragon Generals were taken aback. Explore the ruins! They were about to mention the danger, but then they recalled that Lin Xuan could intimidate the Blackwater Mystic Snake. With him present, the ruins would no longer be a Life Forbidden Land. An exploration might actually be possible.

The Blackwater Mystic Snake was a peculiar creature, rumored to be related to the Candle Dragon. Perhaps the ruins truly held some Treasure related to the Candle Dragon. It was definitely worth a look.

"Yes, and if we could find the Candle Dragon Key, that would be even better!" the Flying Dragon General added excitedly.

The Qinghu Dragon General shook his head. "It’s not that easy. The Candle Dragon Key is the core of the Dragon Vein Array. Finding it would allow us to control the entire array. We’ve been searching for so many years without finding it. How could it possibly be in some remote ruins?"

"That’s not necessarily true. What if the Marquis gets lucky?"

The Dragon Generals began to argue, but in the end, they all agreed that an exploration was worth a shot. They decided to prepare for it thoroughly.

The Qingshan Dragon General announced, "Once this round of testing is complete, we’ll select a group to form an expedition team to head to the ruins."

「Two days later」

The tests were finished, and the Qingshan Dragon General and the others began selecting suitable candidates.

「Five days later」

An expedition team of thirty people was assembled. Lin Xuan was among them and was appointed as the team leader. For one, his strength was superior to that of an ordinary Centurion. For another, he could intimidate the Blackwater Mystic Snake. The expedition would primarily rely on him; otherwise, no one else would be able to enter the ruins.

The team included many familiar faces, such as Song Yan, Lu Xiu, and Elder Chen. In addition, there was one person who greatly surprised Lin Xuan: Duan Lingtian!

Duan Lingtian had lost to Lin Xuan before, but instead of feeling resentful, he was genuinely convinced of Lin Xuan’s superiority. In other words, Lin Xuan had beaten him into submission. So this time, he also wanted to follow Lin Xuan to the ruins.

Lin Xuan nodded, and with a wave of his hand, declared, "Let’s go!"

Soon, the thirty-person team set out.

「A few days later」

They arrived at the ruins once again. Gazing at the dilapidated structures ahead, Elder Chen and the others wore solemn expressions. This was the territory of the Blackwater Mystic Snake, a Life Forbidden Land for them. A single misstep could mean death.

"I’ll go first."

Lin Xuan strode forward and reached the edge of the ruins. He stomped his foot, and the ground quaked. Suddenly, dozens of black snakes charged out from all directions. These snakes weren’t particularly long, but their eyes were extremely sharp, and their pitch-black scales exuded a chilling aura. Wherever they slithered, black frost formed on the ground. These were the Blackwater Mystic Snakes.

They had appeared. Elder Chen and the others grew tense. It was the first time for Duan Lingtian and the new arrivals, and seeing so many Blackwater Mystic Snakes made their scalps tingle and their hearts leap into their throats.

Can the Champion Marquis really withstand this? If he can’t, we’re all done for.

Lin Xuan, however, remained unfazed. He took a step forward, unleashing the power of his Myriad Dragon Body. A surge of Dragon’s Might enveloped the area.

"Retreat at once," Lin Xuan commanded coldly.

The bodies of the Blackwater Mystic Snakes trembled again. They turned and fled, instantly disappearing into the depths of the ruins without a trace.

"They really ran!" Duan Lingtian’s eyes widened in utter shock. Although he knew Lin Xuan wasn’t bluffing, witnessing it firsthand was still unbelievable. These are legendary Exotic Beasts, and they were scared off that easily? This is truly heaven-defying!

The other warriors were equally flabbergasted, their eyes filled with awe. The Champion Marquis’s methods were practically godlike.

"Alright, you can come over now," Lin Xuan said with a wave, beckoning them forward.

The group cautiously walked over and entered the ruins. They dispersed and began their search, but it wasn’t long before they regrouped.

Duan Lingtian reported, "No discoveries. These ruins are desolate, with nothing of value."

"I didn’t find anything either," Song Yan said, and Lu Xiu echoed the sentiment. The other warriors had also come up empty-handed.

At this point, Elder Chen spoke up. "This place is indeed peculiar. Just because we haven’t found anything doesn’t mean there’s nothing here."

Elder Chen was an expert at treasure hunting. While people like Song Yan and Lu Xiu were skilled warriors for the battlefield, Elder Chen had spent years leading a team to explore Ancient Relics and seek treasures across the Dragon Moon Ancient Land. In this regard, he was the expert.

Hearing him say this, everyone grew curious and looked at him.

"Then where could it be?" someone asked.

Elder Chen stomped his foot. "If there’s nothing on the surface, what about underground?"

Everyone was taken aback and looked down at the ground.

"My subordinates happen to specialize in terrain exploration," Elder Chen explained. "If we let them investigate, they should be able to find an entrance to a passage leading underground."

Upon hearing this, everyone grew excited.

Lin Xuan smiled. "In that case, we’ll be counting on you, Elder Chen."

Just as they were preparing to find a way underground, another group of people arrived near the ruins. They were from the Hidden Moon Country. The Hidden Moon Country had previously sent four Centurions to this area, and all of them had died. They were furious and had sent these powerful individuals to investigate. No matter who was responsible, they would not let them off.

Upon arriving near the ruins, they were shocked to see people inside.

What’s going on? the people from the Hidden Moon Country wondered. If we remember correctly, this should be the territory of the Blackwater Mystic Snake! This is a Life Forbidden Land! Who would dare to enter?

"Let’s go take a look!"

The group from the Hidden Moon Country quickly rushed over. As they got closer, they discovered that the people inside the ruins were from the Longming Legion.

The people from the Hidden Moon Country sneered. Hmph! Those idiots from the Longming Legion actually dared to come to these ruins! Just watch, they’ll be bitten to death by the Blackwater Mystic Snakes soon enough!

They were determined to witness the members of the Longming Legion being sent to hell with their own eyes.
