Chapter 812: First Exploration of the Western Pole
The black-robed man didn't care about Lu Chen's cautious look. He looked at Lu Chen carefully and smiled softly:
"I am very curious about your identity. As far as I know, there is no one like you among human monks.
Even if you have been living in seclusion in the mountains for a long time, you should know about the Western Alliance.
However, if you act like this, aren't you afraid of provoking a large-scale war between the two races?"
When Lu Chen heard this, he was immediately shocked. A thought suddenly came to his mind, and he couldn't help but wonder:
“Could it be that the continent I’m on is Antarctica?
Because, many years ago, Lu Chen had heard of such a legend.
It is said that the entire Antarctic continent is vast, and two-thirds of the land belongs to powerful and numerous monsters.
After a long period of training, these monsters were finally transformed into human form and became the masters and managers of this territory.
Western Antarctica can be said to be a veritable kingdom of monsters and beasts. In contrast, the habitat of human monks is less than one-third of the entire continent.
But in general, because of the guardians, human monks and monsters can basically live in peace and harmony.
But in Lu Chen's opinion, it should be that human cultivators dare not provoke monsters."
When Lu Chen thought of this, he became very excited. He had not expected that he would end up in Antarctica by accident.
The most urgent thing at the moment was to find out the situation as soon as possible, so Lu Chen couldn't wait to ask:
"Senior, is this the Western Continent? And you are the leader of the demon race?"
Hearing this, the man in black robe seemed quite surprised by Lu Chen's answer.
However, seeing that Lu Chen looked expectant and didn't seem to be telling lies, he chuckled and said:
"Oh? You are not a monk from Western Antarctica? Then where are you from?"
When Lu Chen heard the question from the man in black robe, his heart tightened. He didn't know whether he should tell his true origins.
After hesitating for a moment, I finally decided to tell the truth.
Because he felt that with the terrifying strength of the man in black robe, if he had any ill intentions, he could only hide in the golden bead world.
So, Lu Chen took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Senior, to be honest, I am from Beichen Continent. I went to Nanyou Continent for some things, and then went to Dongxuan Continent due to an accident. Now, by some strange coincidence, I have come here again..."
After hearing what Lu Chen said, the black-robed man's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. He looked at Lu Chen and said with a little surprise:
"I never thought that you could cross the entire Tianyuan Continent with your late Mahayana cultivation. This is truly amazing.
Fortunately, you came to me, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, because..."
After a cup of tea, Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
After all, the person in front of him is a super boss who has the level of a celestial demon and whose strength is comparable to that of a human cultivator in the Divine Transformation Stage.
I believe everyone would feel extremely proud to be praised by others.
However, when the next words the other party said reached his ears.
Lu Chen couldn't help but tremble all over, and an indescribable feeling of fear surged in his heart. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart:
"Fortunately, I have good luck, otherwise I would be dead."
Because based on the simple narration of the man in black robe, Lu Chen finally had a general understanding of the current situation.
At the same time, I also learned the true identity of the man in black robe.
It turns out that the continent we are currently on is indeed one of the four major plates of Tianyuan Continent - Antarctica.
The black-robed man standing in front of him was actually a golden-winged Roc who had practiced for thousands of years. After transforming into a human form, he named himself Zhan Jiuxiao.
This name implies his desire to spread his wings and fly high into the sky like a roc.
The reason why Lu Chen felt so frightened was that there were tens of thousands of monsters in the entire monster clan, and each clan had its own territory.
Every territory has its own Demon King, and his strength is basically at the Heavenly Demon Realm.
However, they are not as good-tempered as Zhan Jiuxiao, who is still chatting with Lu Chen here. Basically, if they see human cultivators stepping into their territory, they will kill them ruthlessly.
If it weren't for the guardian, the entire demon race would have slaughtered all the human monks long ago.
And as soon as Lu Chen stepped into the demon realm, he happened to meet Zhan Jiuxiao, who was not a murderer. Don’t you think his luck is incredible?
However, what surprised Lu Chen was that he heard the word guardian again. This was not the first time he heard information about the guardian.
In Lu Chen's impression, the guardian seems to be very mysterious and powerful.
He didn't expect that there would be a guardian in Antarctica.
If Lu Chen did not care about the guardian before, then as his own cultivation improved, especially after he mastered the five world origins.
It is difficult for Lu Chen not to consider the unknown factor of the guardian.
So Lu Chen asked respectfully:
"Senior Zhan, I would like to ask you, what is the guardian you just mentioned? Have you ever seen a guardian? Is he a person or an organization?
Because I have heard of legends about guardians in other places, I am very curious. "
After hearing this, Zhan Jiuxiao's originally calm face suddenly showed a barely perceptible solemnity, as if a dark cloud had quietly enveloped his heart.
Regarding the topic of guardians, he clearly showed an unwillingness to explore it in depth, and he just brushed it over with a few words, as if he wanted to deliberately avoid this sensitive topic.
Seeing this, Lu Chen keenly noticed that Zhan Jiuxiao was acting strangely, and secretly guessed the reason in his heart, but out of respect and understanding, he did not ask too many questions.
Perhaps this senior has some unspeakable difficulties or secrets that make him unwilling to dwell on this issue.
However, this atmosphere of wanting to speak but not being able to speak further aroused Lu Chen's deep curiosity about the Guardian.
At the same time, a faint sense of worry began to spread in his heart.
Although this brief exchange did not involve much substantive content, it made Lu Chen full of gratitude towards Zhan Jiuxiao.
Just as Lu Chen was about to respectfully bid farewell to Zhan Jiuxiao, Zhan Jiuxiao's expression suddenly changed again.
The original solemnity has now been replaced by deep worry.
Then, Zhan Jiuxiao stared at Lu Chen closely and said in a hurried tone:
"Not good! I'm afraid that bloodthirsty wolf has revealed your whereabouts.
Now, the bloodthirsty wolf demon king is rushing towards us like lightning.
Alas, it’s all my fault for being careless and insisting on keeping you here, which delayed the precious opportunity.
Without further ado, you must immediately retreat along the same path you came from. Otherwise, given your status, it will be difficult for me to protect you.
Oh, by the way, I'll give you this storage ring as a gift, just as a token of good will. Please leave quickly, we'll meet again if we're destined to."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was immediately horrified. After simply thanking him, he immediately summoned the Void Shuttle and rushed directly towards the Endless Forest. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the sky...
