Chapter 118 Finding Wealth in Danger
Shangguan Jiannan gripped the sword tightly, his fingers turning white from the force. He moved forward cautiously, each step filled with caution and uneasiness.
At this moment, his eyes were attracted by the two-headed hellhound in the distance, and he couldn't help but feel an indescribable shock in his heart.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst out from the originally inconspicuous black scabbard, like the dawn, completely covering the huge body of the two-headed hellhound.
These golden lights gradually gathered as they flowed, and finally focused on a certain point on the hellhound's front hoof. There, a long sword pierced in silently, and the sword body disappeared in the golden light, leaving only the hilt outside. If you didn't look closely, it would be almost impossible to detect.
This scene filled Shangguan Jiannan with confusion and amazement.
He stared at the long sword, wondering in his heart: "Who left this sword? Why can it penetrate the seemingly indestructible scales of the two-headed hellhound so easily?" He looked up at the ethereal scabbard and the thin golden light, and gradually an answer came to his mind: "This must be related to the senior who imprisoned the two-headed hellhound here.
Perhaps, this sword and scabbard already existed in ancient times, before the sect declined."
However, this answer raises new questions.
The sect was destroyed, the strong fell, and the lineage of the underworld was able to continue, and it has been tens of thousands of years since then.
How did this sword and its scabbard survive the passage of time and remain intact to this day? Shangguan Jiannan was puzzled and curious, but he knew that this was not the time to delve into it.
He must remain vigilant, keep moving forward, and explore more secrets in this underground space.
After so many years, the two-headed hellhound has miraculously survived to this day. What's even more incredible is that it is still imprisoned here with a long sword stuck in its chest. This scene is unbelievable.
There was no other emotion on Shangguan Jiannan's face except astonishment. The impact of this scene was far beyond his imagination.
His thoughts surged like the tide, and the scene just now kept replaying in his mind. The bursts of shrill sobs were like sharp blades, cutting through his inner peace.
The two-headed hellhound, with its eyes full of pity and expectation, was staring at him from several feet away, as if telling him of endless suffering.
Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Shangguan Jiannan's eyes, and a thought flashed through his mind like lightning: "Could it be that the sword is the legendary nameless sword?" Once this idea emerged, it quickly took root in his heart and became indestructible.
Recalling the scene in the hall where Huikong and Guo Polu argued endlessly over an unknown sword, Shangguan Jiannan pondered secretly in his heart.
Although he did not dare to get involved in the fight between the two masters, their conversation was clearly imprinted in his mind.
Now, the underground seal has been opened, revealing the huge scabbard, and I happened to fall here. All this seems to indicate some kind of connection.
He looked around and saw that at the bottom of the abyss, the two-headed hellhound was firmly suppressed by the scabbard, and the long sword inserted in its chest was even more eye-catching.
All signs indicate that this long sword is most likely the nameless sword they are fighting for.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Jiannan couldn't help but get excited, the temptation of the earth-level secret treasure made him unable to control himself.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement.
After some reasoning, he became more convinced of his guess.
The long sword that could pierce the chest of the two-headed hellhound and was suppressed by the scabbard was most likely the nameless sword they had been searching for.
Shangguan Jiannan was in an extremely complicated mood at this moment.
He was both surprised by the unexpected discovery and excited about the treasure that was about to be in his hands.
He looked up at the darkness above his head, his heart filled with longing and expectation for the future.
And the nameless sword was lying quietly on the chest of the two-headed hellhound, waiting for its new owner.
In the boundless void, a gigantic scabbard was quietly suspended. Its scale was so grand that even the towering two-headed hellhound like a mountain had to crawl on the ground, trembling like an ant in the dust.
In sharp contrast, there was a sword only about three feet long lying there quietly. The huge contrast between the two made Shangguan Jiannan feel confused and puzzled.
He stared at the scabbard that seemed to support the sky, then looked at the inconspicuous short sword, and wondered in his heart: "This scabbard is so majestic, how can it contain such a short sword? Could it be that this is not the mysterious sword that everyone is looking for?"
However, questions surged in his mind: "If not, why would it appear here? And why did Guo Polu and Huikong also appear in this strange place by coincidence? Isn't our goal the legendary sword?"
Shangguan Jiannan was immersed in deep thought, seemingly oblivious to everything in the outside world.
Until the low whimper of the two-headed hellhound pulled him out of his thoughts. The originally ferocious face now looked extremely helpless, but its huge body still made it difficult to associate it with the word "pitiful".
"Are you asking me to draw out this sword?" Shangguan Jiannan asked tentatively, looking at the actions of the two-headed hellhound.
The whimpering sound suddenly became rapid and excited. The hellhound endured the pain and nodded repeatedly, as if confirming Shangguan Jiannan's guess.
Faced with this scene, Shangguan Jiannan was in a dilemma.
If this sword was really the legendary treasure, he would naturally be willing to take the risk; but at this moment, he didn't even know the details of the sword, let alone get close to the two-headed hellhound that was emitting high temperature and was difficult to approach.
If you are not careful, you might lose your life here.
However, at this moment, miraculously, the flames in front of the two-headed hellhound began to gradually dissipate, revealing a passage leading to its chest.
The hilt of the long sword was lying quietly at the end of the passage.
This sudden change made Shangguan Jiannan feel an inexplicable impulse in his heart: "Go or not go?" He looked at the passage, his heart full of hesitation and struggle.
But looking at the expectant eyes of the two-headed hellhound and the gradually dissipating heat, he finally made up his mind...
"Wealth is found in danger."
Shangguan Jiannan whispered to himself, his eyes fixed on the two-headed hellhound not far away.
There was a gleam of hope in the dog's eyes, as if calling him silently.
He clenched his teeth, a surge of resolute courage rising in his heart.
“Even if the sword is not the legendary divine weapon, its quality is not ordinary.”
Shangguan Jiannan pondered in his heart, his eyes looking through the distorted space, directly at the hilt of the sword hidden deep in the chest of the hellhound.
Although the sword was not fully revealed, the extraordinary aura made him feel awe.
"To be able to remain unharmed inside this two-headed hellhound, this sword must be of extraordinary quality."
He slowly raised his feet, and each step seemed extremely heavy, as if he was carrying a thousand-pound burden.
As he breathed, the hot air swirled in his mouth, and his face was filled with fanaticism.
Even if that sword was not the legendary sword, it would certainly give him even greater power, and he couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy in his heart.
