At the location of the ground line, a dimensional crack opened silently and expanded to hundreds of meters wide almost instantly.

The moment the crack opened, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the originally dark sea.

Ye Ning vaguely saw a palace in it.

After looking carefully for a while, the situation of the palace was not very clear, but one thing was certain, that is, there was no danger at the entrance.

Since there is no danger, just go in directly. You will naturally know what the situation is after entering.

Looking at the dimensional cracks that appeared, several team leaders looked at each other, and then after having the medical staff treat the injured participants, they had their own personnel prepare to enter the venue.

Ye Ning also received instructions from Mo Xiaoxiao, so he directly took the twenty-six trial participants who had obtained their places through fighting and the fifteen people who had already been confirmed into the dimensional rift.

After a brief dizziness, Ye Ning found himself in a new sea area.

But when Ye Ning looked up, he found that this place seemed different from the Sea in the Sky. The water pressure here felt much greater than before in the Sea in the Sky.

And at this moment, a piece of information inexplicably appeared in Ye Ning's mind.

This is a trial prompt.

This seemed to be a special trial venue. The moment Ye Ning and his companions entered, everyone was separated. Everyone faced different challenges, and information about the challenges appeared automatically.

Ye Ning had no idea what kind of trials the others were facing, but the information in his mind clearly told him that the name of this place was Dragon Palace!
This is a purely test-type secret realm that does not require exploration or decryption. Ye Ning only needs to complete the test in the Dragon Palace to get the reward.

Dragon Palace???

The moment Ye Ning got the news, he was stunned. Dragon Palace had become a trial ground. What was going on?
And could this Dragon Palace be the same Dragon Palace in myths and legends?
Ye Ning was not clear about this. There was no information about this in his mind. In the current situation, Ye Ning could only take one step at a time.

Anyway, the trial that Ye Ning faced was not particularly difficult, and the format was very simple.

Of course, the simple form does not mean low difficulty, but the difficulty is controllable. The difficulty of the test increases step by step. With continuous challenges, the difficulty will continue to increase, and the rewards will naturally continue to accumulate. After completing each challenge, Ye Ning can choose to leave and continue, which is quite free.

As for where is the Dragon Palace?

There was no need to look for it at all. After all, Ye Ning was not blind. There was a palace in front of him that looked quite luxurious.

That’s where the Dragon Palace is.

Without any hesitation, Ye Ning swam directly towards the Dragon Palace!

When Ye Ning entered the Dragon Palace, he discovered that it was completely different from the outside.

There is no water in Dragon Palace!

With the Dragon Palace gate as the boundary, water and air are clearly separated, but Ye Ning could not feel anything special about them.

It was as natural as the fact that there was no water in the Dragon Palace.

It’s worthy of being called Dragon Palace.

"Pooh!"

Ye Ning spat out the [Scuba Grass] that he had stuffed into his mouth earlier.

This is a very magical material. If you hold it in your mouth, you will be able to breathe freely in the water. Although Ye Ning also has a way to move in the water, he still took it when Mo Xiaoxiao gave it to him.

After all, everyone is curious and they always want to try new things.

"Boom!"

Just as Ye Ning was constantly observing the situation around him, a roar suddenly came from the front.

I saw that the door that was originally closed was opened directly, but perhaps because the door was closed for too long, a lot of dust was splashed around during the opening process, and there was also a loud noise.

Looking at the dust flying everywhere, Ye Ning frowned, and then directly added a layer of barrier for himself.

However, at this moment, suddenly several streams of water rushed out from the water behind Ye Ning, and then swirled in front of the gate. A large amount of dust was almost instantly absorbed by all the surrounding dust, and then returned to the sea again.

Wow, this stain removal ability is quite good.

Looking at the door that seemed to have been cleaned by the water flow and looked brand new, Ye Ning looked inside curiously.

Inside the gate, it was bright.

Different from the brightness outside the door which was bright for some unknown reason, the light inside the door came from a dozen huge luminous pearls on the top of the hall.

Looking at those huge night-shining pearls, Ye Ning's eyes lit up.

It is still uncertain whether this Dragon Palace is the one he has in mind, but the fact that it can be illuminated by night-shining pearls does fit his stereotype of the Dragon Palace.

The door was already open at this moment, and Ye Ning observed it briefly.

The two gates are each about ten meters high and four or five meters wide, and the interior of the hall is several meters higher than the gates.

Inside the gate, two rows of huge pillars are distributed on both sides of the hall and extend to the innermost part of the hall.

The pillars are all red, and a dragon of a different color is hovering on each pillar.

Yes, it is not the big-bellied dragon of the Western world, but the shape of the Eastern dragon in mythology.

Looking at this image that no longer exists in the outside world, Ye Ning knows in his heart that even if this is not the Dragon Palace, it is most likely related to it.

In addition to the coiled dragon pillar, there seems to be a round stone platform about one meter in the middle of the hall. Above the stone platform is a bead glowing blue, which looks quite gorgeous.

After looking inside the hall and seeing that there seemed to be nothing special, Ye Ning walked straight in.

According to the previous instructions, the trial will officially begin after he enters the Dragon Palace.

"boom!"

The moment Ye Ning stepped into the Dragon Palace, the door behind him slammed shut, and then the coiled dragon statues on several huge stone pillars in the hall suddenly moved!

This scene startled Ye Ning. Just when he thought that these stone dragons were the target of challenge, these stone sculptures did not fly towards him, but just circled for a while, then pointed their heads towards the direction of the middle platform, and then fell still again.

Ok?
Although Ye Ning was confused when looking at the stone sculptures, after waiting for a long time and finding nothing further, he bravely walked forward.

Then I walked to the platform.

Looking at this stone table that looked like an ordinary dining table, a hint of doubt flashed across Ye Ning's eyes.

Very strange.

You know, everything in this Dragon Palace is extremely huge.

The huge door, the huge stone pillars, the huge statues, and even some other things around did not look like they were used by small creatures.

But the stone platform in the very center is quite small.

As for the suspended bead emitting blue light.

The genes belonging to Zhuzhuxia began to move. Ye Ning rubbed his hands nervously, and then tentatively stretched out his hand towards the stone platform. While stretching, Ye Ning observed the surroundings.

However, there was no response.

Even though his hand was above the bead, there seemed to be no changes around him.

If that's the case, I'll take it!
Seeing that there was no change, Ye Ning hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and turned directly to the bead.

You have to know that there is nothing strange around, and the challenge did not come as expected as the information in your mind. At this moment, perhaps this bead is the key to breaking the deadlock.

The moment Ye Ning held the blue bead, astonishing divine light flashed in the eyes of the stone dragons on the huge pillars in the entire hall, and then all the stone dragons started moving completely at this moment.

There is an old saying: Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger!

As these dragons began to move, clouds formed in the hall. Although they were stone sculptures, each of these dragons looked lifelike, with twinkling lights in their eyes, just like the real ones!
The moment Ye Ning took the beads in his hand, all the stone dragons surrounded him in an instant.

And the dragon heads all dropped down around him.

He glanced at the huge dragon heads that surrounded him and felt the extremely dangerous aura that suddenly appeared on each of the stone dragons.

Ye Ning swallowed his saliva, then handed the blue bead in his hand back to the stone platform: "Well, how about I put the bead back and you guys stay on the pillar?"

There was no movement.

These dragons didn't seem to want to say anything, and certainly had no intention of going back.

Ye Ning didn't really put the beads back.

It’s not that he was reluctant to do so. It’s mainly because when he took the beads away, he could feel that the stone platform had a restraining and supporting effect on the beads, but when he put his hand back, that feeling had disappeared.

No matter how I think about it, if I put the beads back now, there is a high probability that they will not return to their previous state, so I guess I can only let it change.

Just when Ye Ning was feeling a little uneasy under the gaze of these dragon heads.

The bead in his hand suddenly felt hot. Ye Ning was startled and subconsciously loosened his hand.

Just when he reacted and wanted to grab the bead again, the bead flew upwards with a whoosh.

Of course, it wasn't flying high, only about two meters away. If Ye Ning really wanted to catch it, he could just jump lightly.

But he didn't do that, mainly because the blue light on the bead had disappeared, replaced by a golden color.

At the same time, as the beads flew higher, the dragon heads around also raised their heads slightly.

Now Ye Ning knew that these stone dragons were indeed focusing on the bead.

The changes have already begun, and Ye Ning can't do anything else, so he just needs to watch the performance of the bead quietly.

The golden light became brighter and brighter, and soon it reached a level that made Ye Ning feel blinded.

You have to know that Ye Ning is now at the Venerable Realm. The light that even makes him feel dazzling must contain incredible energy.

But this is not surprising. This is the Dragon Palace after all. The things placed in the center of the Dragon Palace are not ordinary things at all.

About half a minute later, Ye Ning had already covered his eyes with his hands. The light was not only dazzling, but it even burned his eyes a little so he had to avoid it.

Along with the violent burst of energy, the [Plain Cloud Flag] appeared beside Ye Ning, instantly building a layer of defense for him to block the impact of that energy.

"Yeah~"

Just before Ye Ning opened his eyes, a strange voice came from above. Ye Ning immediately put down his hands, and then saw a magical scene.

A hole appeared on the original bead, and a small head poked out of the hole.

It was a head that was somewhat similar to a human's, but there was a pair of small dragon horns on top of the head.

Little dragon man???
She only showed her tiny head, with her hands grabbing the edge of the hole on the bead, looking at Ye Ning with a strange and somewhat confused look.

And when she found that Ye Ning was looking at her, she shrank down for a moment, and then secretly raised her head after a while.

Then she found that Ye Ning seemed surprised by her situation as well. The man and the dragon (? ) looked at each other for a while.

The little dragon seemed to remember something. With a flash of golden light, she transformed into a small golden dragon and flew out of the bead.

After flying up, she opened her dragon mouth and started biting the bead with a hole in it.

It didn't take her long to eat all the beads.

After she ate the bead, her body size more than doubled.

It barely grew from a few dozen centimeters to about one meter in length.

Of course, this body is not even as big as an earthworm compared to the surrounding stone dragons.

After eating the beads, the little dragon first circled around Ye Ning, her nose constantly moving, as if she wanted to smell the scent of Ye Ning.

This made Ye Ning feel very surprised.

This should be a real dragon, with that familiar shape, golden body, and those four short legs with five claws.

Except for its size, it was almost exactly the same as the dragon he remembered.

But why does it feel like a puppy now?
"Human, I feel like your thoughts are very rude!"

Just when Ye Ning was having a lot of strange ideas in his mind, the little golden dragon suddenly spoke and scared Ye Ning.

"Um, are you talking to me?"

"Nonsense, is there anyone else here? By the way, I want to ask you, why did you wake me up? Where is my father? Where did he go?"

Listening to Xiao Jinlong's long string of questions, Ye Ning frowned slightly. Although they were just a few words, a lot of information was revealed.

For example, Ye Ning originally thought that the bead was a dragon egg, and the little golden dragon might have just hatched.

After coming out, the way it eats the "eggshell" is similar to many egg-laying species.

But from what she said, it seemed that she was not just born, but was sleeping in the bead. That meant the situation was a little different.

Seeing that the human in front of her seemed to be thinking about something and didn't respond, the little golden dragon seemed a little angry. She swung her little tail and rushed towards Ye Ning with a "whoosh".

"Boom!"

"Wuwuwuwuwu, human, you bully me. I'm going to tell my father to punish you... punish you... punish you by not letting you eat for three days!"

Looking at the little golden dragon covering its head with its little paws, with its big eyes oozing little pearls with a look of grievance, Ye Ning scratched his head helplessly.

Why does this little guy seem not very smart? (End of this chapter)
