Chapter 421 - 421 Old Fox
After that, Qin Chen spoke to the true dragon and expressed his thoughts. He wanted to use some branches and leaves of the ancient tree of life to exchange for the dragon’s blood essence.
The true dragon had just completed its dragon transformation and breakthrough. It did not expect Qin Chen to have thoughts about it so quickly. It seemed that Qin Chen’s respect for it hadn’t grown although it had become stronger. Instead, the human had become bolder.
The true dragon couldn’t help but narrow its eyes. It seemed that this human cultivator couldn’t be underestimated and would definitely have extraordinary achievements in the future.
His suggestion seemed pretty good. Either way, the true dragon only managed to break through and transform into a dragon thanks to the tree branch and leaves that Qin Chen had given it.
It could not deny Qin Chen’s contribution, so it did not mind giving the latter some of its blood essences. After all, with the branches and leaves of the ancient tree of life, its blood essence could be restored in a short time.
As such, the true dragon nodded.
With a wave of its hand, a small ball of blood essence flew out from its body. This ball of blood was its most precious blood essence, and there were twenty drops in total.
The 20 drops of blood essence turned into a ball of blood that shone with golden light. This was the true dragon blood essence.
It was even more precious than the blood essence that Qin Chen and the others had obtained in that small world. Qin Chen quickly thanked the true dragon and kept the twenty drops of true dragon blood essence.
Then, he took out ten branches and a handful of leaves from the ancient tree of life and gave them to the true dragon.
“Brother dragon, thank you!”
The true dragon shook his head. Having lost twenty drops of blood essence was equivalent to being seriously injured. As such, its face was pale and weak.
After putting away the ten branches and a handful of leaves Qin Chen handed over, the true dragon wanted to leave.
Qin Chen hurriedly asked, “Brother dragon, where do you want to go now? ”
The true dragon that had transformed into its human form looked at the endless fog outside the ancient planet and said, “I want to leave the Tranquil Land and return to the cosmic. The opportunity to become an ancient great emperor only appears once every era has arrived. I can sense it. Whoever is able to grasp that thread of opportunity will definitely become a supreme character on the level of the ancient great emperors.”
Upon hearing the true dragon’s plan, Qin Chen sighed slightly and said, “Brother dragon, if you want to leave the Tranquil Land, you must first pass through the fog. Unfortunately, this fog isn’t easy to pass through. In the fog, there’s a kind of power of order that can instantly kill people, and it’s extremely terrifying.”
The true dragon’s eyes were filled with eagerness, “No matter what, I’m already a true dragon now. How can I be afraid of a mere fog?”
The big scorpion said calmly, “Brother dragon, you don’t know this, but even a quasi-emperor-realm dragon has fallen in this fog, and its corpse is still floating in the endless fog. If you don’t have the ancient lamp, you may lose your way in the fog. Even with the ancient lamp, you may not be able to get out. Rather, you may even fall into various dangers.”
With that, the big scorpion accidentally exposed the existence of Qin Chen’s ancient lamp. He immediately realized that he had said something wrong and quickly shut his mouth.
Unfortunately, the true dragon had heard it and its interest was piqued. An ancient lamp?
“What’s the ancient lamp?” The true dragon asked Qin Chen, “Do you guys have a magic item that can help you leave this place? ”
Qin Chen cursed the big scorpion in his heart for touching a sore spot. In this way, it was equivalent to exposing the treasures he had. Although he had many treasures, he still needed the power of the Mystic Gate Lamp if he wanted to leave.
Who knew if this true dragon who had just broken through had some ideas about his ancient lamp?
No matter how perfunctory Qin Chen was, the true dragon simply looked at him with a fake smile as if it was adamant to see what the treasure looked like today.
The true dragon had obviously followed its master to this ancient planet and passed through the fog. It knew that there were many dangers in the fog, but it did not expect the human to have a magic item that could help one pass through the fog.
If it wanted to leave, its chances of success would be one or two times higher with the ancient lamp. At the same time, it also had heard that a true dragon of the quasi-emperor realm had died in the fog. All of a sudden, even the true dragon had some concerns in his heart.
However, the treasure had aroused its interest as well. After all, that was a magic item that could help one pass through the fog and leave the Tranquil Land. Who wouldn’t be tempted by it?
Qin Chen finally spread his hands helplessly, “Brother dragon, it’s not that I’m trying to hide it from you, but that I’m the only one who can activate this treasure. No one else can. It’s already been refined and fused into one in my body. Even if I want to give it to you, I can’t. How about we advance and retreat together? With you by our side, we’ll be much safer. At the same time, if you come with us, the chances of you successfully leaving this place will be much higher.”
Qin Chen began to try to persuade the true dragon, trying to fool it. Unfortunately, the true dragon was not so easily fooled. It immediately shook its head and looked at Qin Chen and the others.
“If I go with you, I’m afraid I’ll have some scruples. If I leave alone, the chances of success will be much higher.”
Indeed, this was not a baseless claim. After all, the true dragon had already broken through to the God Emperor realm, which was far higher than the God realm and Great God realm.
It seemed that the other party was determined to get the ancient lamp in Qin Chen’s hands.
Qin Chen said, “If you want to leave, I advise you to come with us. I have a way to leave this place.”
Upon hearing Qin Chen’s words, the true dragon’s eyes immediately shot out a golden light. This kid was so cunning!
If not for learning about the ancient lamp, it probably wouldn’t have been able to force this human cultivator to reveal the secret!
One had to know that if Qin Chen knew the way to leave the Tranquil Land, the chances of successfully leaving were obviously much higher than the true dragon adventuring alone.
The big scorpion and the rest were also inexplicably shocked. Could it be that Elder King had another solution? Why didn’t they know about it?
Then, the true dragon glanced at Qin Chen and said slowly, “How do I know if you’re telling the truth?”
Qin Chen cursed the true dragon in his heart. It was really cunning. It was still a cunning old fox even though it had broken through to the God Emperor realm.
In fact, Qin Chen did not know how to leave this place, but with the ancient lamp, he was quite confident that he could leave safely. As long as they did not encounter the power of order, they would be able to leave.
But now, the true dragon wanted Qin Chen to show proof that he knew the way to leave, and the latter was somewhat helpless.
He simply said as he stared at the true dragon in front of him, “It’s up to you to believe it or not. If you don’t, there’s nothing I can do either.”
