Top-class Bodyguard

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the person, with varied emotions in their eyes—some disdainful, some amused, and others calm.

"I want to ask, has everyone's power been suppressed to only the Divine Realm level?"

His gaze swept over everyone present, and with just one question, everyone's expression turned slightly grim.

They sensed the condition within their bodies and indeed, they were only at the Divine Realm level.

"This relic site is extraordinary, everyone's power is suppressed to the Divine Realm level. I have tried, certain techniques simply cannot be unleashed. Only Divine Realm power can be used; any Cultivation Technique or move beyond the Divine Realm cannot be executed." The man said seriously, "This shows that the danger level of this relic site far exceeds our imagination!"

"Moreover, when I flew in through the gap earlier, I discovered something very strange," another person said. "The Qi Force we've lost cannot be replenished by the circulation of our Dan Bead, meaning a significant part of our internal energy is sealed and cannot be used."

With those words, everyone's expressions changed.

How is this possible?

They all tried, only to find that besides a portion of energy, all the Qi Force within their bodies was unusable. This means all of them were the same; everyone's power was identical without any difference—only their techniques and combat experiences varied.

Zakum's face was extremely grim, with a hint of violence in his eyes. The man with the skull necklace also squinted slightly.

Modo stood among the crowd, still silent, and faced the same situation within his body.

"I tried, and it's true. Our lost Qi Force can only be replenished by absorbing the Spiritual Qi in the air. But this Spiritual Qi is extremely rich, ten times denser than the outside world, and it's not difficult to absorb."

Another person spoke.

The first expert who spoke saw that everyone agreed with him and said, "Since this place is so dangerous, I propose that we form an alliance and travel together. After all, everyone's power is the same here, and in such a dangerous place, one more person means one more strength."

After this statement, no one spoke. Except for those who had formed alliances before entering, everyone else maintained a watchful attitude.

Such alliances are too fragile, and they've seen too many instances of backstabbing.

"Alliance?" A female expert sneered, "If we encounter something, how will it be distributed?"

"Exactly, save those tricks for fooling three-year-olds." Another person said, "I have no time to waste with you. In this relic site, either we go explore or stop wasting time here."

Everyone watched him, and indeed he said it and did it—he directly flew up towards the distance.

"I don't believe there's any real danger in this relic site. Even if there is danger, it won't be that serious."

As he flew into the air, everyone watched him. At that moment, a piercing scream suddenly emerged from the fog above, as if it penetrated the clouds, aiming to pierce everyone's eardrums!

Then, under everyone's horrified gaze below, a giant bird emerged from the clouds high in the sky!

Its sharp beak was dozens of meters long, and its two pairs of wings spread like clouds covering the sky!

The expert who had flown into the air didn't even have time to scream before his entire body was swallowed whole, without a hint of resistance!

After devouring the man, the bird flapped its wings and flew upward.

Everyone below was silent.

Ren Feng's face was filled with shock, Elder Mu Han was in disbelief, and the other experts looked at each other, dumbfounded, wondering if that was really a bird?

Silence ensued, each person immersed in their silence, uncertain if what they had just witnessed was real.

"What was that?"

Unable to hold back, someone asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's most likely a creature called the Thorny-winged Bird, or perhaps the term 'monster' might fit better. This kind of monster has existed for up to five hundred thousand years, tracing back to that era."

Someone spoke.

Five hundred thousand years ago? Monster?

The people here have some understanding of the Ancient Era, and after hearing that, they fell into a moment of silence.

"I'd like to ask, are there many such monsters in this relic site?"

No answer came. Someone said uncertainly, "Probably not that many; the island, truth be told, can't be as large as the continent, so there can't be many.

"I think so too, but this is not a place we can deduce by common sense."

Everyone kept discussing without any good conclusion.

"Enough talk, let's focus on why we entered here in the first place," someone said, "You must have received information as well—the tomb of the Primordial Emperor. Since it's a tomb, where is it?"

"When I came out earlier, I saw in the distance a very large city, like those ancient four-sided cities."

"Great, it's obvious we should check it out."

No one spoke further, though the journey hadn't started yet, they were already aware of the dangers of the island, and caution was paramount.

Everyone began to disperse, choosing the path they wanted to take, as Sima Nan looked at Mu Han.

"Mu Han Senior, how should we proceed?"

"That city is definitely the place we need to go. However, this island is large, and there are other places to explore, and time is ample, so there's no need to rush over." Mu Han said, "However, since you're after Cultivation Techniques, I still suggest you go sooner."

Sima Nan nodded and turned to Ren Feng again.

"Brother, what about you?"

"I'm here to find elixirs; I plan to wander around first."

"Okay, in that case, we'll go ahead."

The other experts of the Dragon Domain also looked quite helpless; they initially wanted to explore, but now that Long Yue had arrived, ensuring his safety was obviously a priority.

"Where do you want to go?"

Long Yue looked at Ren Feng.

Ren Feng looked to the left at a building hidden in the fog and pointed: "There."

Mu Han spoke, "I'll go over as well. In truth, coming to the relic site, any discovery is a gain, so the destination doesn't matter much; besides, the road to that city is likely to be extremely dangerous."

Just as he finished speaking, a deafening roar sounded from the front, and then a massive tentacle struck down fiercely from the sky!
