196 They Were Actually Standing on the Dragon’s Skeleton!
Everyone looked at the ordinary demonic beasts in front of them in disbelief. A demonic beast could only speak the human language if it was an extremely powerful beast. Among human cultivators, it was at least at the peak of the sky rank.
The cultivation of demonic beasts was not like that of the human race. It could be said to be an extremely difficult existence. Looking at the present, there were very few powerful big demonic beasts. Furthermore, the human race did not like demonic beasts. Even if there were, they would avoid the world to cultivate.
Even their sect master did not have a powerful spiritual pet. On the other hand, those old monsters only had a few powerful demonic beasts by their side.
Ye Xuan’s cultivation level was low, but the demonic beasts beside him could actually speak. How could they not be surprised?
“Elder Ye, you, you…”
Everyone looked as if the world had turned into a fantasy.
Ignoring the risk of being exposed, Ye Xuan quickly asked, “What’s going on?”
Even the Penglai Immortal Beasts were shocked as they exclaimed, “This blood moon is alive!”
Before the crowd could digest the huge amount of information in these words, something even more terrifying happened.
The blood moon above their heads began to blink like an eye as if it had come alive. Ye Xuan finally knew where the feeling of being spied on came from.
No wonder it was like a shadow and felt like it was everywhere. It was hanging high in the sky.
The ground trembled so violently that everyone couldn’t stand still. It was as if a dragon had flipped over. The cracks on the ground became even bigger, like a giant beast from the abyss opening its bloody mouth, waiting for everyone to land.
Even the nearby hill began to rise, reaching into the clouds. Countless pieces of gravel rolled down, and perhaps it was an illusion, but even their field of vision became higher and wider.
It was as if the ground was rising, getting closer and closer to the blood moon. Everyone could finally see clearly that it was not a moon, but a huge eye.
All the hills on the ground had undergone a great change, and the giant object in front of them was finally revealed in its full appearance.
The mountains and hills all fell down, shedding their original camouflage, revealing the white bones, winding into the distance as if there was no end. It was impossible to measure its size with their eyes, and the blood moon was its eye, giving everyone great pressure.
Everyone held their breath and their pupils suddenly contracted as if they had seen something extremely terrifying. Even Ye Xuan was dazed for a moment.
It was actually a dragon!
To be more precise, it was the skeleton of a dragon!
After thousands of years, the skeleton had been sleeping in the river of time for an unknown period. The skin, flesh, and scales that covered it had long disappeared in the passage of time, and it had been polished to its current appearance.
Such a white color made people feel a little flustered.
He Feng’s voice trembled as he asked, “Could it be that we were on top of the dragon’s skeleton just now?”
Thinking of this, everyone felt their blood run cold. He revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. It could be said that he was lucky, but it could also be said to be unfortunate.
Fortunately, there were probably not many people who had the same treatment as them. Unfortunately, facing such a behemoth, they would probably not be able to walk out alive.
“We’re finished. We’re all finished.”
“So the legend that Wu Hai told us was true. There’s a dragon mine below, but it looks like this.
Ye Xuan recalled what Wu Hai had said earlier about them disturbing the long sleep. He was probably referring to this dragon skeleton.
In that case, could it be that the people who had come to mine the spirit stone mine before had also met with mishaps because of this reason?
Ye Xuan didn’t know that he was infinitely close to the truth with his thoughts that were half-guesses.
His contemplative look was misunderstood as being in a daze in the eyes of others. Shen Changling looked at him and could not help but show admiration.
Ye Xuan was probably the only one who could remain so calm in such a situation.
Ye Xuan shared his guess with everyone.
“Earlier, Wu Hai said that we offended and disturbed its long sleep. He was probably referring to this skeleton. The people who disappeared from the mine for no reason might be related to this, and the strange movements of those demonic beasts…”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by He Feng, “Elder Ye, this is not the time to talk about this. We can’t even keep ourselves alive right now.”
“Oh my God, this dragon has been dead for god knows how many years. How can its bones still be alive?”
Dragons were legendary creatures. Everyone had only heard of them but had never seen one. Even if there were, it would have been in ancient times and was now extinct. This kind of divine beast was not something that people with cultivation could pry into.
Anything that was related to the dragon clan was a divine item. Now, they were able to see a dragon skeleton with their own eyes.
As he spoke, the dragon skeleton had already bent down. In front of the huge skeleton, they were as small as a speck of dust. The skeleton didn’t even need to do anything. It could turn them into ashes in a breath.
In the face of such a giant creature, let alone picking up a sword, they didn’t even have the thought of resisting. It was as if waiting for death was their only destination.
But Ye Xuan was never one to wait for death.
The pair of black hollow eyes had long lost their figure and was filled with red light, like the blood moon in the sky before, but it also looked like two ghostly fires, staring at Ye Xuan and the Penglai Immortal Beasts beside him.
It gave people great pressure.
“Ant, you’ve disturbed my long sleep.”
A low and hoarse voice floated over.
No one had expected the dragon skeleton to be able to speak, so it must have been a remnant of its consciousness.
Dragons were mysterious creatures. Even if they were dead or alive, after thousands of years, their bodies would decay, but they could still remain in an undying state. It was extremely heaven-defying.
