"Hey, big rooster, what's going on in your mind? Are you cursing me?" Chu Mo glared at the big cockerel.

The big cockerel cocked its head to one side, its bright red comb trembling, and utterly ignored Chu Mo.

At this point, Zhao Changhai, who had been leading the way, suddenly let out a loud cry and abruptly stopped in his tracks. His face turned pale, and then, with a retch, he spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, terrified, he exclaimed: "The pressure! The dragon's nest is imposing its pressure! This must be the Azure Dragon's Nest!"

Those who were closest to Zhao Changhai also turned pale and spewed out a mouthful of blood. Some people's legs shook so violently that they could hardly stand. Unable to resist, they retreated quite a distance where the pressure was slightly less.

At this time, they were less than ten miles from the dragon's nest!

Over countless years, the dragon's nest has absorbed a large amount of Heaven and Earth's primordial energy, keeping its powerful dragon's prestige intact. Hua Shuanniu was at a disadvantage due to this. Otherwise, would a member of the elite Understanding Heart Realm commit suicide out of despair?

If he had waited a bit longer, the outcome could have been entirely different. Unfortunately, Hua Shuanniu did not have the patience.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, some tried tentatively, attempting to move forward slowly. But after a few steps, they all retreated, their faces bloodless.

This pressure, it still weighed heavily on them, making it hard for them to breathe.

As though a mountain was pressing directly down on their bodies!

This was also after Chu Mo had almost completely drained the nest of its primordial energy. Otherwise, once they crawled out of that cave, they probably couldn't even take a step closer to here.

"What do we do? Are we just going to watch helplessly....while a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity stares at us, yet we can't seize it?" Someone said bitterly.

With squinted eyes, Zhao Changhai murmured: "Give up? No...never! Pressure, right? I happen to have something on me..." As he spoke, Zhao Changhai walked forward while guarding against those around him, and at the same time, took out a wrapped object.

When the wrapping was removed, a palm-sized object covered in numerous charms was revealed.

Those charms looked quite old. Their color was almost indiscernible, and the writing on them had all but faded.

"Brother Zhao, What is that?" Someone behind him asked curiously.

As Zhao Changhai systematically uncovered the ancient charms, he replied without turning: "It's a secret!"

Indeed, it was a secret! A shocking secret!

Because the palm-sized object covered in a multitude of ancient charms was a dragon scale!

This item was not passed down from Zhao Changhai's master's but rather, a treasured heirloom that had been handed down from the ancestors of the Zhao family.

When Zhao Changhai was very young, he was told that this dragon scale belonged to the Azure Dragon, the totem of the Azure Dragon Continent.

As for its authenticity, Zhao Changhai had never had the opportunity to verify it.

As soon as he took out this dragon scale, he felt the pressure diminished slightly. Once he tore off one charm and revealed a tiny bit of the dragon scale, the immense pressure immediately disappeared!

Subconsciously, Zhao Changhai tore all the charms apart.

In a split second...the dragon's scale in his hand was glowing brilliantly!

Inside this enormous cave, the clear and incomparable sound of a dragon's chant echoed.

The massive rooster standing by Chu Mo's side was so startled that it spread its wings to cover its head, muttering: "How could that bastard leave a divine consciousness in this world? Oh...damn it...scared the hell out of me!"

Chu Mo's face also turned somewhat pale. That dragon chant almost shook him off the dragon's nest.

Fortunately, he had the Heaven Slaying in his hand, which emitted a faint murderous aura at the right moment and instantly suppressed the dragon's prestige emanating from the dragon's chant. This enabled Chu Mo to hold his ground safely.

As for Zhao Changhai's side, aside from Zhao Changhai who was still dumbfounded and holding the dragon scale, everyone else was brought to their knees by the dragon chant.

This was not only a shocking moment. It was also the awe-inspiring dragon's prestige contained within the dragon's call!

They simply couldn't stand there any longer!

Then... the entire stone cave, all its oppressive atmosphere, vanished instantaneously!

The rooster felt it most clearly. It glanced at Chu Mo and said, "That damn bastard actually left a dragon scale in this world, benefiting this worm... spare him for me later, don't kill him."

Chu Mo glanced at the rooster.

The rooster spoke a bit nervously, "A while back, I owed that dragon bastard a favor, a pretty significant one. This little human, although he's insignificant in my eyes. However, since he managed to bring a scale of that dragon bastard here, that's a kind of fate. So spare him. I believe this human won't dare blabber about what happened here. Even if he did... it wouldn't matter."

While saying this, the rooster rolled its eyes, "That cheap dragon left nothing here when he left, not a single feather! The divine grasses, he simply couldn't stand the sight of them... so he didn't touch them."

"..." Chu Mo had a troubled expression and twitched his mouth, "What if he's going to attack me?"

"Impossible..." The rooster had a sly smile on his face, "You'll see soon, kid, you've stumbled upon a fortune here!"

"Fortunate?" Chu Mo frowned slightly.

The rooster said, "Just wait and enjoy the show!"

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt, with the dragon's call, the mountain-like pressure... vanished all at once!

Instantly, all eyes landed on the dragon scale in Zhao Changhai's hand.

Those gazes, sharp as blades, brimmed with greed.

Zhao Changhai instantly felt an invisible pressure closing in on him. He couldn't help but roar with rage, "What are you trying to do?"

Chu Mo, incognito and unpredictable, and Piaomiao Palace's legacy was out of their reach!

What treasure lies within the dragon nest remains a mystery.

This trip, all the sects from both the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird continents that participated didn't receive anything, not even a single hair, let alone any benefits. Yet they suffered heavy losses in the process.

Now, an obvious treasure was right in front of their eyes.

How could they not be tempted?

How is that possible?!

Zhao Changhai's face turned green with anger. He regretted bringing this thing out. But it wasn't the time for him to lose his temper, as some people around him were already eyeing him hungrily.

I can't let these people snatch my dragon scale!

Thinking this, Zhao Changhai turned tail and ran!

His destination was the dragon's nest. Because, in his heart, he too coveted the treasure in the dragon's nest. Having come this far, if he couldn't see inside the dragon's nest with his own eyes, it would be a lifetime of regret!

Whoosh!

As Zhao Changhai rose, a dagger… shot rapidly towards him.

Someone couldn't restrain themselves and attacked him directly.

"You rabble!" Zhao Changhai roared angrily. Because he had already kept his guard up against these people, the flying blade did not harm him. But it still made Zhao Changhai shiver.

For some reason, at this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand the feeling Chu Mo had when he was pursued by many people. (To be continued.
