They were not on the same desolate island as the squadron. Ouyang Shuo knew that he must have been swept by the waves to here. Little Green saw that he was unconscious, so it did not have time to find the squadron.
With Ouyang Shuo's current injuries, he could not undergo another long trip. Luckily, he had the inner pellet.
Without any hesitation, he directly swallowed the inner pellet. The moment it entered his mouth, it turned into a cooling liquid, which smoothly flowed down his throat, into his stomach, and finally entered his dantian.
This was the second time that Ouyang Shuo had swallowed an inner pellet. The first time, he had swallowed the iron armoured beast pellet and activated his second talent.
Compared to that inner pellet, this one from the octopus boss was more than a level higher. If they had to grade it, the iron armoured beast pellet would be gold rank, while this pellet would be at least platinum rank.
Two whole ranks separated the two.
The octopus boss was the type of monster that would appear in the later stages of the game.
This was why Ouyang Shuo experienced such difficulty in killing it.
Similarly, compared to last time, when he was at a paltry 6th layer of the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique, he was now at the 10th layer.
Hence, one inner pellet could not cause a massive change.
The liquid soaked the dantian like it was watering a thirsty plant, and the dry dantian started to revitalise at a visible rate. Ouyang Shuo used the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique to guide the primordial energy through his meridians and wash the injuries.
After an hour, Ouyang Shuo was done.
He had basically recovered from his injuries. Not only that, even the slow progressing Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique had improved a notch; he was just less than a year away from the 11th layer.
After completing this process, Ouyang Shuo got up and was ready to leave.
The storm above the ocean had stopped long ago, and it was sunny and bright.
Hence, Ouyang Shuo needed to quickly meet up with the squadron; he did not want to worry them.
At this very moment, Ouyang Shuo noticed that the Gold Qilin Seal was acting weirdly. When he gazed upon it, it was like the golden light had noticed, and it shone even brighter.
"This is?" Ouyang Shuo did not understand.
After he uncovered the seal and held it in his hands, the golden glow reached its brightest level yet.
A magical moment suddenly happened right in front of his eyes.
The golden light turned into an arrow and pointed toward the northeast side of the desolate island.
"Don’t tell me there's an adventure quest here?" Ouyang Shuo muttered. After encountering the octopus monster’s revenge, Ouyang Shuo had given up hope on his luck stat.
There were people who had come into contact with adventure quests in this island region.
However, such a fortunate matter would definitely not land in Ouyang Shuo’s hands. When had Ouyang Shuo obtained anything good without being badly hurt or losing a lot?
Hence, Ouyang Shuo did not hold high hopes for whatever was on this island. Instead, he was worried that if something bad happened, it would affect the voyaging squadron.
Just as he was about to leave, the golden light grew even brighter, and it started to burn.
This sight caused Ouyang Shuo to frown. Treasures had sentience, much less something as precious as the Golden Qilin Seal. One could only say that the item on the island was truly important to it.
After a moment of pondering, Ouyang Shuo gritted his teeth and ventured deeper into the island. Whether it was a lucky break or a tragedy, he could not avoid it. It was a destined encounter, so why not just let it come?
Who knows, maybe his appearance on this desolate island was preordained.
Following the directions of the golden light, Ouyang Shuo walked three to four miles. Suddenly, a valley appeared in front of him. Not only were the mountains on the sides not straight, they looked like something had knocked them apart and smashed them a couple of times.
A massive fog covered the back of the valley, sending off an extremely gloomy feel.
The moment Ouyang Shuo approached the valley, a cold breeze swept him from within, making him sneeze.
At this point, Ouyang Shuo grabbed the Tianmo Spear and stood on high alert.
With his current cultivation, how could a simple cold breeze make him sneeze? The only explanation was that there was something within the valley.
When he arrived at the mouth of the valley, the golden glow from the Golden Qilin Seal grew brighter and brighter.
Since he had already walked to this step, there was no reason for Ouyang Shuo to back down.
Ouyang Shuo asked Little Green to guard outside the valley, while he raised his spear and entered it alone.
Weirdly, the fog at the mouth of the valley was not that thick. However, when he ventured inside, he could not see his fingers when he raised them.
The even weirder aspect was that the fog at the mouth of the valley was a normal white. On the other hand, the fog on the inside had turned black.
If Ouyang Shuo had a third eye, he would be able to see many spirits floating around in this fog. However, with the golden light protecting him, these evil spirits did not dare to approach.
The further he walked in, the lower the terrain sloped.
Bada!
Suddenly, Ouyang Shuo stepped onto something.
He lowered his head to see the bone structure of an animal. It was even bigger than Little Green.
Following which, Ouyang Shuo saw skeleton after skeleton. They were probably at least at the desolate beast level, as their structures still remained so tough after so many years.
Only the bones of desolate beasts and stronger could stand the test of time.
The deeper he went, the larger the skeletons he found.
Ouyang Shuo could recognize some of them, but he could not distinguish a large portion.
The deeper he went, the more shocked he felt.
What had happened on this unnamed island to actually attract so many desolate beasts? One must know that around the oceans, desolate beasts were exceedingly rare.
Ouyang Shuo even suspected that all the beasts for thousands of miles around this island were attracted to here at some point in the past. When he ventured even deeper, he no longer found the remains of desolate beasts. Instead, he discovered the skeletons of the higher ranked spirit beasts.
Even though Ouyang Shuo had seen a lot, he could not help but feel his hair stand.
At this very moment, a powerful gust of wind blew through the valley.
The wind wrapped up the black fog and slowly formed a black spiral on top of Ouyang Shuo's head.
Jie Jie!
In the spiral, an evil teeth grinding sound of laughter broke out.
"Who?"
Ouyang Shuo raised his head, and his face froze.
"Little boy, you could choose to go on the path of heavens, but instead you chose to come to hell." The moment the words sounded, the spiral turned into a dragon head.
Dragons in Chinese culture represented nobility and prosperity, but the black dragon had nothing to do with either; it represented evil.
The dragon head charged right at Ouyang Shuo, catching him off guard.
Ouyang Shuo had fought numerous battles and many enemies, but who would have known that one day he would fight a spirit.
He had a plethora of skills but no way to utilize them.
Just at this moment, the Golden Qilin Seal suddenly floated into the air and circled his head, emitting a golden radiance. When the black dragon saw the seal, it froze up and did not dare to charge any closer.
Ci~~
The black dragon smashed into the gold light and a burning sound broke out.
The golden light was like the nemesis of the black fog, and it digested the fog.
"Jiejie, the kid has such a treasure, no wonder he can get here." The black dragon was not discouraged at all. Instead, it showed an expression like victory was already decided.
Ouyang Shuo kept silent and did not say anything.
During the Battle of Julu, the red dragon spirit in Liu Bang's body could not escape the Golden Qilin Seal. The black dragon in front of him had not even showed its real form, and it was already unafraid of the seal.
Comparing the two, the strength difference was immediately determined.
The spirits in the valley were swept up by the black fog and sent above the golden light. When they touched the light, they let loose painful cries.
At the same time, the energy of the golden light was quickly expended.
Ouyang Shuo could only watch on helplessly.
As more and more spirits gathered, the golden light reached the verge of shattering and started to shake.
It seemed like the barrier the golden light had formed was going to shatter.
Jiejie!
The black dragon let out a gleeful laugh.
"Who are you and what is this place?"
Ouyang Shuo decided to put down his worries and use the chance to gain some information.
"Hehe." The black dragon stopped laughing,"Since you're about to die, I don’t mind telling you. I'm the dragon king of the oceans. As for this place, naturally, it is where I was buried."
"A dead dragon?" Ouyang Shuo smiled coldly.
Although they did not fight, Ouyang Shuo could tell something. Despite this dragon’s incredible strength, it was just a dragon spirit like the red dragon.
If not, what appeared here would not just be an apparition.
"Little boy, you're looking to die!"
Like his weakness had been stabbed, the black dragon’s expression changed.
All of a sudden, all of the spirits in the valley were swept up and thrown at the golden barrier.
A thick burning smell permeated the area.
Numerous cries broke out by his ear. In less than ten minutes, the golden light shattered with a pa! and the Golden Qilin Seal fell back into his hands.
"Die boy!" The black dragon roared and charged straight at Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo knew that normal weapons were useless against spirits. He focused and waited. Why not let it attack and try to use the golden primordial energy to fight it?
He did not believe that the Yellow Emperor Internal Cultivation Technique could not tame an evil dragon.
Just at this moment, a dragon roar emanated from the clouds.
Ang!
The roar was mighty and shocked the wilderness.
The black dragon was right in front of Ouyang Shuo, but it it stopped in shock when it heard the roar. A complicated expression appeared in its eyes.
It looked up.
The clouds above the valley had spread apart to reveal a colossal dragon hundreds of miles long. It was snow white in color; this was the fate and luck dragon that Ouyang Shuo had been forming since he had entered the game.
At the crucial moment, it had finally awakened.
