Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

90: At the critical moment! The Qin King’s sword returned!”Who are you?”

A majestic middle-aged man’s voice echoed in the spacious cave, as the five-clawed golden dragon, covered in shimmering gold, scrutinized Wu Tian with its dragon eyes.

”I smell a familiar scent on you.”

”On you...”

”There’s the scent of a king!”

”...”

Wu Tian was startled.

”The scent of a king?”

”May I ask, Lord Dragon Vein, what exactly is... the scent of a king?”

”Hmm?”

The five-clawed golden dragon tilted its head, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long while, the five-clawed golden dragon slowly opened its mouth and spoke to Wu Tian without haste.

”It’s...”

”The scent of Ying Zheng!”

”You have a scent very similar to what Ying Zheng had back then, sigh...”

At this point, the golden dragon seemed a little sad.

”What a pity for that child!”

”Let’s not talk about him!”

”Haha...”

The five-clawed golden dragon smiled slightly at Wu Tian, as if looking at a satisfactory junior.

”Don’t call me Senior Dragon Vein, I have a name too. I’m Ao Yu!”

”You can call me Uncle Ao!”

”Oh, right!”

The five-clawed golden dragon smiled slightly at Wu Tian.

”How did you find your way here, and what do you want from me?”

Wu Tian returned the smile.

”The reason I found my way here is a long story, but I did come specifically for you, Uncle Ao. I want to release you!”

”...”

Ao Yu was stunned.

He stared at Wu Tian’s face for a long time, and after confirming that the latter wasn’t joking, he burst into hearty laughter!

”Kid...”

”Hahahahaha...”

The golden dragon’s wild laughter made the entire cave hum!

”It’s been over a thousand years, and this is the first time I’ve heard someone say they want to release me!”

”Not bad!”

”Even if my thousand years of waiting were just for this day...”

”It’s worth it!”

”However...”

Ao Yu’s laughter subsided, and he spoke to Wu Tian with a serious expression.

”Kid!”

”I’m already very happy that you would say such a thing, as for rescuing me...”

”Heh heh...”

Ao Yu shook his head.

”There’s no possibility whatsoever!”

”No possibility?”

Wu Tian frowned.

”Why?”

”Do you see these two horns on my head?”

”Do you know why I was imprisoned by these second-rate sorcerers back then?”

”...”

Wu Tian was stunned.

He rushed into this cave, single-mindedly wanting to rescue Ao Yu, this Lord Dragon Vein, but he never considered whether he could actually rescue him.

Moreover... he didn’t even know why Ao Yu was captured by these sorcerers back then!

Were the sorcerers too strong?

Or was Ao Yu too weak at the time?

”Heh heh...”

Seeing Wu Tian’s bewildered expression, Ao Yu chuckled softly, and his magnetic voice spoke to Wu Tian.

”Back then, Ying Zheng unified the land, ended the chaos of the Nine Provinces, and pacified the suffering of the common people. It was also with his help that I devoured more than a dozen other smaller dragon veins and became the one and only divine dragon of Great Qin!”

”To repay him, and also to commend him!”

”I plucked off one of my dragon horns and gave it to Wu Ming, asking him to use my dragon horn to reforge a precious sword for Ying Zheng!”

”And it was just as that sword was forged...”

Ao Yu’s eyes slowly turned red.

His tone was chilling!

The pressure and temperature within the cave gradually rose.

”These sorcerers found us in the Qinling Mountains!”

”They killed Wu Ming!”

”They stole the qin emperor sword, forged from my dragon horn, and imprisoned the weakened me in this restriction, using the grievances of vengeful spirits every day to suppress me from escaping!”

”Now...”

Ao Yu glanced at the restriction before him.

He sighed softly.

The boundless despair rising in his heart rendered his anger meaningless.

He spoke to Wu Tian despondently.

”Over a thousand years have passed!”

”Although my power is slowly recovering, having lost my dragon horn, I truly cannot break free from this restriction that has absorbed over a thousand years of resentment!”

”Kid.”

Ao Yu shook his head.

”You should leave quickly!”

”When that person returns, I won’t be able to protect you either...”

When he said this, Ao Yu’s eyes were filled with helplessness and anger!

To think, he was the dignified Lord Dragon Vein of Great Qin!

The very fortune of the world!

But alas... he was now firmly trapped within the restriction. Forget about taking action, even resisting the resentment within was an extremely arduous task!

...”Dragon horn?”

”qin emperor sword?”

After listening to Ao Yu’s narration, Wu Tian’s eyes suddenly lit up. He then picked up the bronze short sword in his hand.

He reconfirmed with Ao Yu.

”What did the qin emperor sword you mentioned look like?”

”How many characters were engraved on the sword body?”

”...”

”This sword, approximately... three feet long, four point six inches wide, weighing one catty six taels and five mace, with the three characters ’qin emperor sword’ carved above the hilt!”

”Why do you ask this?”

Ao Yu frowned.

”This sword was lost in the Qinling Mountains with them and Wu Ming’s great battle back then.”

”It can’t be found, you should still...”

”...”

”Is it this sword?”

Suddenly!

Wu Tian raised the bronze short sword in his hand and excitedly asked Ao Yu.

”Hmm?”

Ao Yu was stunned, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the short sword in Wu Tian’s hand.

After a long while.

Ao Yu licked his lips excitedly.

He spoke eagerly to Wu Tian.

”You...”

”Bring it closer so I can see!”

”It’s been too long, I can barely distinguish its scent anymore!”

”Okay!”

Wu Tian nodded.

He brought the bronze short sword directly to the side of the restriction sealing Ao Yu and held the sword up to the latter’s eyes.

”This...”

Looking at the sword before him, both familiar and strange, Ao Yu’s eyes flashed with excitement!

”It’s it!”

”It’s this sword!”

”This is the qin emperor sword!”

”Hahahaha...”

Ao Yu laughed loudly!

”Heaven does not want me to perish!”

”Heaven does not want me to perish!”

”Quick!”

Ao Yu looked at Wu Tian with anticipation and said.

”Pass this sword through the restriction and insert it into the broken part of my dragon horn. As long as I have this dragon horn, all my power will return!”

”Escaping will be just around the corner!”

”Good!”

Wu Tian was also excited!

He gripped the hilt of the qin emperor sword with both hands, swiftly passed it through the grey-black restriction, and moved it towards Ao Yu’s broken dragon horn!

...Suddenly!

In the empty cave, an extremely furious roar echoed!

”How dare you!”

”Put it down!”

Whoosh!

Then, a rapid whooshing sound resonated in the cave, as a gleaming arrow shot directly towards Wu Tian’s glabella!

”Scram!”

Wu Tian’s eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a furious roar!

He directly extended his palm, blocking the incoming arrow with his left hand, while his right hand didn’t stop, forcefully thrusting towards the dragon horn’s position!

Pfft!

Blood splattered!

Wu Tian’s left palm was directly pierced by the arrow!

Crack!

At the same time... a flash of golden light shimmered!

The qin emperor sword... returned to its place!
