“Are you the one who wants to find me, human?” The leader of the Feather Dragons didn’t get a response, so it asked again.

“It actually looks quite patienta€;” Ye Chen mocked softly.

Before this, the strongest existence Ye Chen had seen was Zhurong, However, although Zhurong was an ancient Divine Beast, it had lost too much Spiritual Energy when it failed to reach Nirvana, causing its current combat strength to be much weaker than when it was at its peak. It hadn’t even reached

the Ten-Million Level.

And yet, the leader of the Feather Dragons in front of Ye Chen hadn’t only become a Divine Beast but also reached the combat strength of 10 million. Ye Chen could even mock in front of a Divine Beast of this level. He truly felt how strong his mental endurance was.

He turned around and looked at the Divine Beasts that were already frozen behind him, then turned to the leader of the Feather Dragons.

“Yes, an old man was chatting with me in the illusion just now and asked me to come and find you. He said that you had something to say to me.” He answered loudly, “Please believe that my mutated beasts and I have no ill intentions.”

Judging by the reaction of the leader of the Feather Dragons, the person who created the illusion didn’t tell it about Ye Chen. So, Ye Chen decisively decided to tell it about him and that person so as to gain its trusta€! At the same time, he could explain how he scared the young Feather Dragon away.

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, some fine whistling sounds came from the direction of the leader of the Feather Dragon.

“Master, those are the voices of the Feather Dragons. They’re discussing with the leader whether to let you go over or not.” The Godly Sea Steadying Needle said softly, “Judging from the sounds, the group of Feather Dragons here are quite big. There might be many with high combat strengtha€!”

“It’s fine. It’ll let me through.” Ye Chen could hear the worry in the words of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle and he comforted it. “The leader of the Feather Dragons knows that our combat strength is way inferior to that of it and it’s still quite patient with us. It should be very friendly.”

Ye Chen’s confidence made the Divine Beasts speechless.

However, it was just as he said. After talking to the other Feather Dragons, the leader of the Feather Dragons allowed him to get closer, but what it said was a little strange.

“If you’re the chosen one, follow me.” After saying that, the leader of the Feather Dragons turned around and quickly disappeared around the corner of the open space ahead of him.

“What is a chosen person?” Ye Chen was a bit confused, but he still chased after it.

After walking for a while, he realized how vast the array was.

After Ye Chen distinguished the two arrays at the entrance, he explored the water-element array first. The closest part to the entrance was filled with groups of Spirit Stones growing on the bones of the Feather Dragon. It was very difficult to walk. Ye Chen probably spent half an hour exploring the path.

Behind this road where Spirit Stones grew was the long and narrow open space he was currently walking on. There were many Spirit Stones on the stone walls on both sides, but the top was so high that it couldn’t be seen, as if it was covered in clouds and mist, making this place seem more like a Spirit

Stone Valley.

Since he was too far away from the leader of the Feather Dragons when they were talking, Ye Chen could only use the Kun Peng Speed to catch up to it. However, when he arrived at the cave entrance at the corner that the leader of the Feather Dragons entered, he realized that the Spirit Stone Valley on the

other side of the cave entrance was still extending forward. He couldn’t see the end.

Ye Chen entered the cave. There were two doors made of Spirit Stones at the entrance of this huge cave. The size of the inside was also very impressive. The leader of the Feather Dragons was standing with its back facing him at the end of the cave.

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Ye Chen.” Ye Chen answered and asked, “Why can’t we talk outside?”

The entrance closed completely when he entered the cave and locked many Feather Dragons outside. In the huge space, only Ye Chen and the six Divine Beasts were left at the moment.

“Because I want to tell you the secret that has been passed down from generation to generation by our race’s leaders. I don’t plan to tell them.” The leader of the Feather Dragons tured around and looked at Ye Chen. “In short, I want you to help us, Mr. Ye.”

“What can I help you with?” Ye Chen thought it was a little funny. “I find it weird. With your combat strength, even if you go outside, you can at least dominate the entire White River County. Why do you have to stay in the array?”

“My combat strength isn’t enough to resist the powerful enemies of the outside world, and I can’t go out either.” The leader of the Feathered Dragons replied, “And you are the person chosen by Divine Beast Goulong. I hope that you can help us break the array, so we can return to our hometown in the

foreign realm.”

Ye Chen was immediately stunned.

“Are you kidding me? You’re saying that the old man who kidnapped me with his illusions is Goulong?!” He shouted.

“That’s right.” The leader of the Feather Dragons replied solemnly.

This time, not to mention Ye Chen, even the Divine Beasts were shocked.

“Master, is it saying that you met the Divine Beast, Goulong, here?” Little Purple said, “But when I was created, I heard that the Goulong from the Snake Race had long deceased in the West Continent. It can’t possibly be here!”

“That’s right. It’s different from Senior Zhurong. There’s a clear record of death of Divine Beast Goulong,.” said the Godly Sea Steadying Needle in surprise. “It was one of the creators of the West Continent. Then, it died naturally there. Even the Mystic Realm it left behind has records of it!”

“Divine Beast Goulong is dead, but its spirit is still here.” Under everyone’s gaze, the leader of the Feather Dragons answered in a deep voice, “Everyone, don’t be surprised. In this array, there are important relics of Divine Beast Zhurong and Divine Beast Goulong. This is also the reason why we can

communicate with them.”

“What are the relics you’re talking about?” Ye Chen asked.

“Those are the fragments of their Spirit Pools.” The leader of the Feather Dragons replied, “Someone found the two relics on the East and West Continents and placed them here to create the arrays. However, the relic of Goulong has the spirit of a Divine Beast. That’s the thing that protected my kind.”

Then, it moved aside to reveal a light blue object embedded in the cave wall.

“This is the relic of Goulong, and Zhurong’s relic is in another array.” It introduced.

“Why did you say that Goulong protected you? It was clearly the humans who brought the relics, the ones who created the array.” Ye Chen thought for a moment and decided to not reveal the fact that Zhurong was still alive and ask other questions.

The leader of the Feather Dragons said that Goulong built the array to protect them, and at the same time, they wanted to break the array and get out. He found this somewhat contradictory.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the leader of the Feather Dragons sneered.

“Hm, Mr. Ye, do you really think that the humans created the array to protect our kind?” Its voice was extremely cold. “It was the humans who created the array to imprison us here.. If not for the help of Divine Beast Goulong, this place would have been their slaughterhouse now!”
