The hunters the man had brought all laughed, clapping their hands, some even whistling.
Chapter 209 The Bet
After the man comforted them for a few moments, they immediately stopped, but the man laughed even harder, and it was unclear what he was so excited about.
The road seemed to be able to accommodate no more than two people at a time. The man was the first to climb up, and then he stretched out a hand and offered it to Luo Chen.
It's as if to say, "If it doesn't work out, I can lend you a hand."
Does our Uncle Luochen need help? Of course not, but the team leader was getting impatient and shouted, "We're not far from our destination now, everyone hang in there! Once we make it, we'll celebrate like crazy!"
Everyone shouted "Bravo!" as if the tour guide was facing an impending unemployment crisis.
Just then, three black figures walked out from in front of them. Everyone looked at the figures and were slightly stunned when they saw such a strong black bear, but then they became excited.
Because everyone knows how much a black bear's gall and pelt can fetch.
Those hunters were all desperate criminals, so naturally they were not afraid of any ghosts or wild beasts. Otherwise, how could so many corpses be left in an ancient tomb?
Several hunters charged toward the black bears, even though they were carrying short knives, but they were instantly swatted back by the bears. Luo Chen stared at the hunters who had been sent flying by the black bears.
"Is this how you usually hunt?"
When Luo Chen asked this question, everyone seemed a little embarrassed. However, the man on this side took the lead and rushed out again. Of course, what awaited him was being swatted back by the black bear.
"You guys are a bit too weak, aren't you?"
Luo Chen was never good at saying flattering things, so for her to say that was already a great favor.
One of the hunters no longer cared about the gold coins.
"I'm quitting! We can't even handle one black bear, let alone the possibility of a dragon appearing on the mountainside!"
As the man finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.
"What? There's a dragon!"
"Why didn't he explain things to us before setting off? Could he be hiding something from us?"
Seeing that the group was about to collapse, one of the hunters was still somewhat unconvinced. He stepped forward and said directly, "If you have the ability, then kill a black bear for me and see what happens. Don't just stand there and talk without any real experience!"
Luo Chen laughed and said, "So what if I can do it?"
The hunter glanced around and said, "If you can do it, I won't ask for the reward this time!"
"That's right, if you can kill a black bear, we don't need any reward!"
No one knows who said that, but everyone immediately erupted in a commotion. However, the black bear seemed to be watching a bunch of lunatics arguing, and didn't say a word or take a single step forward.
Of course, it's normal for a black bear not to speak, but it's a bit strange that he didn't even make a sound.
Luo Chen had naturally observed this point, which was why he was so confident. One of them said, "So what if you lose?"
That's right! It was only then that everyone realized that they had been so focused on their own bets that they hadn't considered what to do if Luo Chen couldn't deliver on his promise.
While laughing, Luo Chen took out a small bag from his arms and showed it to everyone.
"If I lose, all these gold coins are yours!"
If Luo Chen really is some kind of unparalleled master, then everyone will definitely suffer a loss. But if Luo Chen is just bluffing, then everyone is absolutely certain that there is a very high chance that Luo Chen will be sent back.
"it is good!"
Someone actually accepted the bet, so the bet began. Everyone formed a small circle, on which Luo Chen's gold coins were placed, not worried that one of them might secretly hoard the coins.
Luo Chen charged directly at the black bear. Upon seeing Luo Chen, the black bear already showed a slow hostility, as it sensed this from its animal instincts. Luo Chen arrived in front of it, but merely feinted before disappearing from the black bear's sight.
Then it appeared behind the black bear. It turned out that Luo Chen's purpose from the beginning was not the black bear itself, but the object behind it. Sure enough, Luo Chen appeared in front of a black bear cub. However, the black bear father should have been distracted by Luo Chen earlier, so this should be the black bear mother now!
Luo Chen didn't need to draw his Heaven-Destroying Sword at all; he simply punched the female black bear, who collapsed to the ground with a thud, blood flowing from her mouth.
The black bear father returned and looked at Luo Chen, who was standing there, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
Normally, if it were no match for Luo Chen, it would choose to flee. But now, even though it is no match for Luo Chen, in order to protect its home, the black bear has no choice but to charge towards Luo Chen.
Luo Chen snorted coldly and charged forward, punching the black bear in the face again. The black bear flew backward, a complete display of overwhelming strength.
Luo Chen looked at the two black bears in front of him and saw a hint of desire in their eyes. Of course, Luo Chen knew that they were not showing such an expression because they wanted to have sex with Luo Chen, but because they wanted Luo Chen to show mercy.
Luo Chen sighed, but everything in this world has the power to create its own things, and that's not a reason for Luo Chen to let them go.
However, we can spare the little bear's life. After all, we can't exterminate everything in the biosphere; we have to leave a seed so that it can sprout.
Luo Chen held the Heaven-Destroying Sword high above his head. With a single swing, the giant black bear seemed to know everything. When it fell to the ground, it was not dead. It could still clearly see Luo Chen kill his wife with a single sword strike.
But the black bear only let out a wail, blood was flowing continuously, and even the wail was somewhat strained.
Luo Chen walked up to the bear cub, and the black bear started to howl. There was more than one bear. Luo Chen picked up the bear cub and flew directly out of the cave.
Luo Chen moved so fast that no one saw him when he returned.
However, the two black bears on the ground could see it very clearly.
"Gentlemen, now that your wishes have been fulfilled, it's time to set off!"
Chapter 210 Graybeard
The two black bears seemed to have known their fate all along, and closed their eyes. Luo Chen took what he needed from one of the bears.
Luo Chen didn't say anything, but went back to the hunters and handed them the black bear skin and other items he was carrying.
"Thank you so much."
Nigal stepped forward and said coldly, "Now, as agreed, shouldn't you deliver the fifty gold coins?"
Upon hearing this, the man looked embarrassed and handed over the fifty gold coins that had been agreed upon earlier to Luo Chen.
"This is the hero you deserve, but I'm very sorry, our brothers really dare not go any further!"
Luo Chen sighed, "How about this, you take the money back and you can leave too!"
After the hunters had all left, Nigar stood behind Luochen, watching the departing people, and then glanced at Luochen again.
"You shouldn't let them get away with this; it's their responsibility!"
Luo Chen sighed, "If they're not willing, why force them? What if something happens? Wouldn't that be even more disadvantageous for us?"
Unable to argue with Luo Chen, Nigar sighed and headed straight up the mountain.
Along the way, all we encountered was howling wind and snow.
The two struggled forward. Luo Chen, with her superior strength, was naturally unafraid of the wind and snow, but Nigar behind her was not the same. Even taking a single step forward seemed incredibly difficult for her.
Luo Chen kept glancing behind him, and at the same time pulled Nigar along. Fortunately, they didn't encounter any monsters along the way, and the two of them arrived at the tower without incident.
At that moment, a deep, resonant voice drifted down from the sky.
"This is the territory of the Dragonborn. Outsiders must stop here!"
Luo Chen shouted, "You're the ones who summoned me here!"
"Of course, we warmly welcome the Dragonborn, but the person behind you must wait where she is!"
Luo Chen glanced at Nigar, whose face was turning purple from the cold. Luo Chen shouted again, "Can't you give her a place? She's freezing to death!"
"No, my dear dragonborn, this is a test. She wants to stay by your side and must accept this test, or she can only await death or departure!"
It seems there's no room for negotiation now. Luo Chen glanced at Nigal beside him and said, "The choice is yours. You decide!"
Nigal nodded: "I will always be here waiting for your return."
After saying that, Nigal placed his large sword on the ground and sat up, waiting for Luo Chen to return.
Luo Chen walked up the long staircase step by step, and in front of him appeared a golden door. Luo Chen gently pushed the door open, and through a long corridor, he came into a spacious area.
Several old men also came out at this moment. They looked at Luo Chen with a look of surprise on their faces.
"My dear dragonborn, I never imagined you were so young!"
An enthusiastic old man walked over, while the others seemed somewhat indifferent. In fact, if Luo Chen knew how old they were, he wouldn't be too surprised by their current behavior.
Luo Chen nodded to one of them, and the enthusiastic old man introduced himself: "Hello, I am Bo Rui, it's a pleasure to have you here."
After introducing himself, Bo Rui turned around and began introducing the other three people.
"This is the Howl of the Wind, Aingar. This is the Howl of the Fire, Wufgar. This is the Howl of the Power, Enus!"
The three of them bowed respectfully to Luo Chen. It was unclear where they had learned this skill, but they had managed to make steamed buns that looked quite presentable!
Luo Chen asked, "Why did you send me here?"
Borei thought for a moment: "Dragonborn, you bear a heavy responsibility. We called you here so that you could have the power that a dragonborn should have, and thus defeat Auduon."
Auduon? What's that?
"The gears of fate have begun to turn. Dragonborn, you are our last hope. The rest is up to our leader to explain. But now, we are transferring our power to you!"
Suddenly, a bright red rune appeared on the ground. Luo Chen stood on it, took a deep breath, and countless streams of air quickly entered his body.
Luo Chen sensed this power, which was incredibly strong. At the same time, he was slightly surprised as to why this guy had such a powerful aura.
Luo Chen was unaware of this; all he knew was that he had simultaneously integrated this power into his own body.
“Uh-huh!”
Luo Chen couldn't help but let out a roar, and something seemed to rush out at the same time, crashing directly into the stone.
With a screech, the stone was actually pushed aside.
Borui nodded: "As expected of a dragonborn, you've mastered the Dragon Roar so quickly. Now, come out with us."
After speaking, Borui and the other three walked outside. Then Borui stepped down and an old man came up in his place.
"Next comes the power of the wind."
After saying that, he grinned mischievously at Luo Chen: "Let me show you."
The moment the word "down" was uttered, the old man suddenly vanished from Luo Chen's sight, bursting through the iron gate and appearing outside the courtyard.
"This is the power of the wind. Master it, and you will be able to escape countless difficulties, whether it be a raging beast or a dragon soaring through the sky!"
The same runes reappeared on the ground, and Luo Chen once again received that power and manifested it. This power seemed to come from the sky, and Luo Chen felt a sense of freedom within it.
With a roar, Luo Chen vanished from everyone's sight and reappeared outside the courtyard.
"It's so amazing!"
Luo Chen looked at his hands with a hint of disbelief, and at the same time, something seemed to come to mind. He seemed to have been able to move around like this before.
These strange thoughts often popped into his mind. "Never mind," Luo Chen said calmly, while thanking the old man in front of him.
However, Borui coldly replied, "This is merely one of many trials you face. Next, you will ascend to the throat of the world and confront our leader."
Chapter 211 The Gateway to the World
Luo Chen nodded and looked in the direction Bo Rui was pointing, but all he saw was a white thing, as if it were another world, a world that Luo Chen could never enter.
Bo Rui patted Luo Chen on the shoulder and pushed him directly into the room. The wind howled rapidly in Luo Chen's ears, and even more so, it felt like knives scraping across his face. Luo Chen stepped back.
"This is so exciting, Borui!"
"Stimulate?"
Borui was starting to get confused about this dragonborn. What exactly did he mean by that sentence?
Luo Chen laughed and patted his shoulder: "Alright, don't worry about it. May I ask how I should get there? Should I use the Wind Dragon Roar from earlier?"
Borui shook his head and muttered, "No, the path for the Dragonborn to reach the throat of the world is not so simple. It is a very dangerous but interesting process. And as long as you use the right dragon shout, it is very easy to go anywhere."
Borui seemed very confident in his identity as a Dragon Shout teacher. Luo Chen watched quietly from the side, only to see Borui and the other three create a huge rune in front of the campfire outside the gate.
The rune completely enveloped the campfire. Then, Borui glanced at Luo Chen, who understood that it was his turn to go up.
Without a doubt, he stepped into the campfire in front of him. With a whoosh, Luo Chen felt as if some kind of noise was ringing in his head.
"Pure Heaven!"
This is a reminder, a reminder of the proper name for Luo Chen's Dragon Roar.
Luo Chen composed himself and walked towards the gate. Bo Rui watched him from behind: "Be careful, Dragonborn!"
Luo Chen smiled and gave Bo Rui a thumbs up before walking inside. The surrounding area was now a vast expanse of white snow and ice.
"Ulaha!"
Luo Chen's roar sounded somewhat weak. This was the first time he had used this unknown dragon's roar, which was naturally very different from the Greybeards'.
Suddenly, the whole world became quiet. The wind and snow stopped, but they still howled in the distance. Of course, this Dragon Roar move was not released without any display. It's just that Luo Chen's foundation was strong enough that, in professional terms, the cooldown time was reduced for him.
