There is a beast in the bright morning.

Hao Chen looked at the familiar scenery around him and asked Tian Lu, who was leading the way, "Tian Lu, where are we going? Have we been here before?"

Tianlu stopped and looked at Haochen with a puzzled expression: "Haochen, are you stupid? This is Nanshan. Didn't we just come here to rescue Jinjiao and Yinjiao a few days ago?"

"What? This is Nanshan, how did we end up in this godforsaken place!"

To be honest, Hao Chen didn't want to come to Nanshan at all. It was just too strange here, filled with an unknown number of different dimensions with varying abilities.

Although Hao Chen was quite confident in his strength, and believed that he should at least have few rivals if he didn't dominate the Three Realms, the premise was that he wouldn't encounter any strange spaces that would restrict divine power, magic, or the physical body.

"It should be fine. Those kinds of eerie spaces aren't easy to encounter."

Hao Chen comforted himself as he followed Tian Lu's steps until they stopped in front of a cave.

Looking at the five or six-meter-high opening in front of him, Hao Chen was still wondering what kind of spirit or monster lived inside such a large opening.

But the next moment, Hao Chen noticed a trace of yin energy permeating the air at the cave entrance: "This yin energy, could it be that the evil spirit that Di Ting heard about is inside? Tian Lu really found it."

Just then, Tianlu sniffed the air, seemingly discovering something, and excitedly ran into the cave: "Haochen, I smell treasure inside! Let's go in and take a look!"

"Wait for me, Tianlu, be careful." Seeing this, Haochen had no choice but to follow him inside.

As Hao Chen walked into the cave, he suddenly noticed several runes on the cave wall, but they seemed to have been damaged over a long period of time.

Just as Hao Chen passed by the runes, the previously incomplete runes suddenly began to glow. The next moment, Hao Chen felt a sense of crisis: "Oh no, there's danger! Tian Lu, be careful, come back quickly!"

Upon hearing Hao Chen's reminder, Tian Lu quickly ran to Hao Chen's side. The two of them cautiously watched their surroundings, but after a while, nothing happened.

"Haochen, you're too timid. Where was there any danger? Nothing happened."

Seeing that there was no danger, Tianlu continued walking into the cave: "Haochen, hurry up! I can smell the treasure up ahead. If you don't come soon, I'll eat it all."

"Alright, coming right now, Tianlu, it's always better to be careful."

"Was it really just my imagination? But I really did feel danger just now!" Hao Chen also wondered if he was being too sensitive.

As Hao Chen and his companions ventured deeper into the cave, runes began to glow on the cave walls, but nothing happened. It seemed that these glowing runes were simply carved there for illumination.

Before long, Hao Chen and Tian Lu were walking along when they discovered that a huge light barrier was blocking their way.

Tianlu carefully extended its claw and touched the light barrier. The claw passed right through the barrier. Tianlu then tried the other claw and found that it could also pass through the light barrier.

"Haochen, there's no danger, you can go."

As Tianlu walked directly through the light curtain, Haochen followed closely behind. After passing through the light curtain, Haochen found himself seemingly in a new alternate dimension.

What came into view was a plain surrounded by mountains, with a wide grassland in the middle. Beyond the mountains, everything was gray and indistinct.

Although the sun was not visible in the sky of the alternate dimension, the space itself was not dark; instead, it was as warm as daytime. Hao Chen couldn't figure out where the light source came from.

At this moment, Tianlu suddenly tugged at Haochen's hand: "Haochen, look quickly, it's a gold bar."

Following the direction Tianlu's claws pointed, Haochen indeed saw hundreds of gold bars neatly stacked on the ground ahead.

"Tianlu, be careful. That looks suspicious. It might be a trap." Haochen said, turning to look at Tianlu, only to find that he was all alone.

It's obvious that Tianlu went to eat those gold bars: "That Tianlu is really greedy. But speaking of which, we clearly felt the presence of Yin energy at the cave entrance before, so why didn't we feel any Yin energy after entering the cave?"

Hao Chen walked towards Tian Lu's direction, glancing around from time to time in hopes of finding some clues. Just then, Tian Lu's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Haochen, come quick! There's a white mouse that's fainted over here."

Upon hearing Tianlu's voice, Haochen rushed forward and found a weasel lying next to the gold bars.

But upon seeing the weasel's appearance, Hao Chen exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, isn't that a treasure-spitting rat? What's she doing here?"

"Treasure-spitting rat? Haochen, is that your friend? When did you make friends with someone? I didn't know that."

"Oh no, I forgot that I don't know the Treasure-Spitting Mouse yet."

Hao Chen's mind raced, and he blurted out, "Oh, she's a friend of the Four-Faced Beast. I heard the Four-Faced Beast say a few days ago that the Treasure-Spitting Rat needed his help, but it hasn't come yet."

"So she's a friend of the Four-Faced Beast. But she looks injured. Haochen, should we take her back?" Tianlu said while eating gold bars.

Hao Chen lightly tapped Tian Lu's head: "Tian Lu, isn't what you're saying obvious? Of course we have to take her back, otherwise where will you get your future treasures?" Of course, Hao Chen only thought the last sentence to himself.

"Haochen, you hit my head again. What if you make me stupid?" Tianlu rubbed his head and looked at Haochen with an innocent expression.

Hao Chen muttered, "It's okay if you get brainwashed. I'll take care of you."

"Haochen, what are you muttering about?"

"It's nothing. Let's take the Treasure-Spitting Rat back first, and then come back to find that evil spirit."

"Hmm... wait, Haochen, it seems like something is approaching, in the sky."

Tianlu seemed to be provoked, staring intently at the sky and even adopting an attack posture.

"Roar!"

With a tremendous roar, a figure flew down from the sky, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Once the dust settled, Hao Chen could see that the newcomer looked like a huge red lizard with a pair of enormous, retractable wings like a bat on its back, sharp spikes on its back, and four strong, powerful claws. It looked just like a Western dragon.

"Haochen, this guy seems tough to deal with. Shall we retreat?"

Tianlu sensed that the enemy in front of him was not simple, so he did not want to fight with him. He put the treasure-spitting rat on his back and then slowly retreated.

The Western dragon seemed to have discerned Tianlu's intentions and was not about to leave so easily. It stomped heavily on the ground, instantly knocking Tianlu and Haochen to the ground.

"I am the Fire Dragon King Nighorst Field. You two little creatures, how dare you trespass into my cave and steal my treasures! Put my pets down at once."

As he spoke, Field reached out his paw towards the Treasure-Spitting Rat next to Tianlu and grabbed it in his hand. The commotion woke the Treasure-Spitting Rat up.

When the Treasure-Spitting Mouse opened its eyes, it saw Field's ugly face and screamed in terror, "Ah, you bad guy! If you don't let me go, my master will definitely not let you off the hook!"

"Your master? I'm so scared! If you're so capable, then let him come and save you. But right now, I'm your master. Spit out the pearl now, or else you know what will happen, hmph!"

Field then tossed the treasure-spitting rat behind him, not worried that it would escape, and looked at Tianlu and Haochen again: "Tell me your origins. If it's useful, I'll spare your lives. If not, I'll eat you."

Tianlu seemed unconvinced by Field's words and was about to say something when Haochen tugged at him: "Tianlu, can you feel the divine power within your body right now?"

Hao Chen's face was gloomy. He had just wanted to make a move, but the divine power within his body had fallen into a state of dormancy. No matter how Hao Chen tried to activate it, there was no response. Only then did Hao Chen realize that he might have been tricked.

After hearing Hao Chen's words, Tian Lu tried it out, and his expression changed drastically as well: "Hao Chen, what's wrong? I can't use my divine power."

"As expected." Hao Chen had no desire to continue entangled with Field at this moment; he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Field seemed to have expected this: "What, you can't use your divine power anymore? When you stepped into this cave, you were affected by the ancient runes on the walls. Your divine power was sealed. You're all doomed."

Hao Chen glanced at Field, then said something that seemed completely nonsensical: "You're a dragon, aren't you? And one that escaped from the underworld, right?"

"Of course, I am the handsome Fire Dragon King. Now that I have been resurrected, I will naturally rebuild the glory of the Fire Dragon King."

"It's good that it's a dragon. You just wait, I'll find someone."

Hao Chen took out his monstrous phone, opened a series of chat groups, took a picture of Field, and sent it with a message: "A wild Fire Dragon King has appeared in the Rainbow Cloud Mountains. Anyone want it? Come quick! Location information is here."

As soon as the message was sent, someone with the nickname "Lotus Silk Mud King" replied: "Wait for me, I'll be right there."

Hao Chen typed a reminder: "Don't go through the cave, your divine power will be sealed by the ancient runes. Just cross space directly to get in."

Lotus Root Clay King: "Hmm"

Seeing that the other side had replied, Hao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. To deal with dragons, you need to use the dragon nemesis. Let the professionals do the professional work: "Field, is it? You just wait and see. You'll regret it."
