"Come down." Shi Quan let out a long breath. Due to the Holy Dragon Eight Spears, the desolate atmosphere around him also had a significant impact on him.
The feeling of looking at the Dragon Bones from above the valley was completely different from looking at them inside the valley.
Only by truly entering the valley could one more deeply feel how shocking such a multitude of Dragon Bones were. Each massive Dragon Bone was at least dozens of meters tall, with some enormous ones even reaching hundreds of meters. All these Dragon Bones emitted faint energy fluctuations.
"There are no Dragon Souls in this Dragon Tomb," Ye Lingling said, looking around in surprise.
Shi Quan looked at her, slowly walking towards one of the Dragon Bones, and slowly said, "Because they aren't needed here at all."
"Shi Quan, what do you mean by that?" The three girls looked at Shi Quan in confusion.
"Because these Dragon Bones contain the obsessions of these Dragons after their deaths. These obsessions carry the terrifying pressure the Dragons had in life. If an ordinary person came here by Opportunity, they would probably be suppressed and killed by these auras of pressure," Shi Quan said, looking at the faint patterns on the Dragon Bone in front of him.
"Then why don't we feel anything?" Dugu Yan asked, puzzled.
Ye Lingling seemed to have thought of something and slowly said, "Is it because we absorbed the power of Dragon Souls, which led to us having Dragon Clan Bloodline within us?"
"Mm." Shi Quan nodded, "After the Dragon Cloud nourished your bodies, I shared the power of nine true dragon soul bones with you. Your Physiques are already beyond what ordinary people can compare to, plus the faint Dragon Clan Bloodline within you, so these pressures will not pose a threat to you."
"Does that mean this Dragon Tomb poses no threat to us?" Dugu Yan said excitedly, her eyes shining as she looked at the surrounding Dragon Bones.
"That's a good thought!" Shi Quan chuckled and shook his head, "This is only the outer perimeter of the Dragon Tomb. The pressure inside will definitely be stronger than this. At most, you won't be affected by the outer pressure. If you go deeper, you will definitely still be affected by the pressure. And…"
Shi Quan's gaze fell on the Dragon Bones, "…if you try to take a true dragon soul bone from the Dragon Bones, the obsessions within the Dragon Bones will surely riot and attack you."
"Ah?" Dugu Yan's face immediately turned bitter upon hearing this.
Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, looked at these Dragon Bones with a serious expression and said, "How did this Dragon Tomb form? You know, on the Douluo Continent, sub-Dragon-level Spirit Beasts are extremely rare, and true Dragon-level Spirit Beasts are unheard of. How can there be so many true Dragon corpses in this Dragon Tomb?"
"Exactly." Ye Lingling also nodded and said, "The weakest of these true Dragons are probably comparable to Titled Douluo, not to mention those deeper inside, whose strength is probably beyond our imagination. Why did they all perish here?"
"Won't we know if we feel it?" Shi Quan raised his hand and slowly placed it on the Dragon Bone in front of him.
A desolate aura instantly enveloped Shi Quan. He seemed to hear the wail of this giant Dragon before its death, and an unwilling, angry aura continuously surged into Shi Quan's mind.
After only a moment, Shi Quan withdrew his hand and let out a long breath.
The obsession within this Dragon Bone was too deep. His Dragon Clan Bloodline came from the Holy Dragon Eight Spears behind him, so he couldn't sense the obsession too deeply, but Shi Quan clearly felt the unwillingness and sorrow within it.
Shi Quan slowly said, "You can try touching the Dragon Bones, but remember not to touch them for too long."
It was fine when the three girls didn't try, but once they did, their eyes immediately reddened again.
"Wuwu, it's so sad. Although I don't know why, I just feel like these true Dragons are so pitiful." Large tears streamed down the corners of the three girls' eyes.
Shi Quan quickly stepped forward to comfort them, "Alright, it's okay, it's okay."
After a long time, the three girls finally recovered. Aside from a part being due to their own emotions, it was more due to the influence of the surrounding Dragon Bones.
"Alright, let's continue forward and see what else is inside the Dragon Tomb." Shi Quan didn't dare to let the three girls try recklessly, so he could only lead them towards the depths of the Dragon Tomb.
As they continued to go deeper, the surrounding Dragon Bones became increasingly thick, from a hundred meters at the beginning to giant skeletons hundreds of meters in size.
Just a glance was enough to give all four of them a sense of oppression.
Not to mention the constantly increasing sense of pressure around them. Shi Quan was fine, but the three girls felt as if they were carrying ten thousand jin heavy stones.
"Shi Quan, I'm almost at my limit." Ye Lingling's legs trembled as she stopped.
"Me too, pretty much."
Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing also said, panting heavily.
The terrifying pressure around them made it hard to breathe. In the distance, there was an enormous skeleton.
This skeleton was over a thousand meters tall, and its overall color was brownish-black, completely different from other Dragon Bones. Although they were thousands of meters away, they could still clearly feel the incomparable heavy aura emanating from this skeleton.
If they got any closer, they feared they would be directly crushed by the heavy aura from this skeleton.
"Good." Shi Quan nodded and said, "Then I'll go the rest of the way alone. You all go back first. I might be delayed for a long time down there. Wait for me to return."
After thinking for a moment, Shi Quan continued, "Having absorbed so much Dragon Soul power on this trip, I owe a debt of gratitude to these Dragon Seniors. After you go back, use tools to dig some pits and bury these Dragon Clan corpses to let them rest in peace."
As he spoke, Shi Quan's voice resonated in the three girls' minds again, "I know you're wondering why you should do something so thankless. The true Dragon obsessions here have their own consciousness. If you can help them rest in peace, perhaps they will give you their true dragon soul bone as thanks."
"Remember to be sincere and genuine throughout the process, and do not show any greed. When burying the Soul Bone, do not damage the integrity of the Dragon Bone. You need to piece each part together perfectly before burial. Do not be impatient."
Shi Quan's remaining words were transmitted via Spirit Sense, so the surrounding Dragon obsessions could not detect them.
The three girls were slightly stunned, then replied in unison, "Okay!"
The reason Shi Quan let the three girls do this was also by drawing on Tang Wulin's actions in Douluo III.
Bidding farewell to the three girls, Shi Quan then turned and walked towards the giant corpse in the distance.
"Is this the Mountain Dragon King?" Shi Quan took a step forward. Although he was still thousands of meters away from the Mountain Dragon King's corpse, the gravity here was significantly greater than in other places.
The oppressive aura, even Shi Quan took a while to adjust before he could lift his foot and continue forward.
The Mountain Dragon King's Dragon Bone had no Dragon Wings, and its body was extremely stout, especially its four limbs, which were as thick as pillars supporting the sky.
Shi Quan could clearly feel that the aura emanating from the Mountain Dragon King's Dragon Bone was stronger than the aura of the Sacred Dragon Bloodline behind him.
The Mountain Dragon King had a special status. Unlike other true Dragon lineages that only had one Dragon King, all Mountain Dragon lineages could obtain the title of Dragon King upon reaching adulthood. However, once a Mountain Dragon reached adulthood, it would transform into a mountain range or continent, providing for the reproduction and survival of other Dragon Clan members.
In other words, once a Mountain Dragon became a king, it would die.
"The mountain ranges of this Dragon Valley must have been formed by the Mountain Dragon King before its death, right?" Feeling the energy fluctuations emanating from the Mountain Dragon King's massive body, the thick and heavy aura made even Shi Quan a little breathless.
Upon getting closer, Shi Quan finally saw a huge crack, from head to tail, in the very center of the Mountain Dragon King's massive skeleton. This meant that its enormous body had been cut in half by what seemed like a Sharp Weapon.
"Was it cut by Asura?" Shi Quan thought, as he circled around the side of the Dragon Bone. He didn't have the Dragon God Bloodline, and he didn't dare to touch the corpse of a powerful being like the Mountain Dragon King.
After circling the Mountain Dragon King's corpse, Shi Quan finally arrived at his ultimate destination for this trip: the valley within the valley.
The ground behind the Mountain Dragon King had collapsed downwards, revealing a massive pit with a diameter exceeding ten thousand meters.
When Shi Quan reached the edge of this deep pit, a feeling of awe and reverence emanated from the Holy Dragon Eight Spears behind him.
Shi Quan looked up into the valley. The valley was a thousand meters deep, and inside, a huge light mass seemed to flicker, appearing as a seven-colored mist. It prevented anyone from truly seeing what was inside the valley.
He knew what was hidden beneath this mist: the Dragon God's Dragon Soul and the dragon god's heart!
If he remembered correctly, the dragon god's heart seemed to be a Divine Artifact. Shi Quan naturally knew the dangers below, but with such a treasure right in front of him, giving up without even trying was, of course, impossible.
"Hoo." After taking a deep breath, Shi Quan's Holy Dragon Eight Spears behind him immediately stabbed into the cliff face of the valley.
This time, he didn't dare to just jump down like before.
The seven-colored mist above the valley gave him a very dangerous feeling. It was safer to proceed step by step.
His body slowly moved forward, the seven-colored mist was close at hand. The closer he got, the more obvious the terrifying pressure became. The Holy Dragon Eight Spears behind Shi Quan even trembled and shivered uncontrollably at this moment.
After pulling Dragon Spine Xuanyuan from his back, he put Xiao Meng and Shou He into his Sea of Consciousness. Taking a deep breath, he adjusted his state to the best. He then stabbed the Dragon Spear into the mountain wall within the mist, and Shi Quan's figure also disappeared into the seven-colored mist.
Boom!
Shi Quan only felt as if something had exploded in his head. A terrifying pressure swept towards his Sea of Consciousness like a giant wave, as if it wanted to tear his Soul apart.
The previous pressure was only directed at the body, but the pressure within this seven-colored mist not only targeted the body, but also exerted an extremely terrifying pressure on Shi Quan's Soul.
"A Quan, stabilize your mind!" Xiao Meng's voice came from Shi Quan's mind. Silver light bloomed in Shi Quan's Sea of Consciousness, and a powerful mental force erupted, constantly resisting the sweeping pressure.
"Boss, don't worry, we're here!" Shou He's voice also came. Earth-yellow Qi swept through the Sea of Consciousness, and the originally trembling Sea of Consciousness instantly became incredibly stable.
Xiao Meng was responsible for resisting the impact, while Shou He was responsible for stabilizing the Sea of Consciousness. The two had a clear division of labor.
