She gasped for breath, leaning her head against the dragon frame. Her hands were crippled, and she couldn't stop the bleeding. She could only watch helplessly as blood gushed from her limbs and seeped into the pool of blood.

The pain, accompanied by the panic of losing her life force, brought tears to the eyes of the usually stubborn little girl for the first time.

She knew she was truly doomed this time.

No one will come to save her from here.

Furthermore, with Shen Xiong personally overseeing things, no one can save her.

Mother, eldest sister, second sister... Shuang'er misses you all so much...

The little girl's tears mingled with blood and flowed continuously, leaving two clear streaks on her face.

Shuang'er really... wants to see you all again, even just once.

"Waaah..."

The woman standing on the shore was already sobbing uncontrollably. She tried to run forward, but the guards held her firmly to the ground.

The moment the little girl was thrown into the blood pool, the entire secret realm began to change.

Suddenly, bursts of black mist shot out from the small palaces, and all the powerful beings who had been possessed rushed towards the main palace.

The two giant snake sculptures on the entrance archway had black flames flickering in their eyeless eyes. Then, they slowly crawled up the pillars and twisted their bodies to the ground.

Meanwhile, within the blood pool of the main palace, the blood was steadily decreasing, and countless blood lines spread across the dragon skeleton like veins, gradually condensing a terrifying and immense aura.

"You, go down and bring all the items from the three rooms on the sixth floor."

Upon seeing this, Shen Xiong's expression became even more excited. While staring at the little girl, he said to his soldiers, "The thing is very big. You can all leave."

"yes."

Upon hearing this, all the guards, though puzzled, quickly went downstairs.

However, when they got downstairs, they found that the doors to two rooms were wide open and the rooms were completely empty.

Upon seeing this, the guards' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately ran upstairs to report.

"What!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiong's eyes widened, and a surge of rage rose within him. "Those three damned rats!"

Shen Xiong immediately understood the whole story and swiftly dashed downstairs.

After this dragon died under the lightning tribulation, it was obtained by a powerful figure who skinned it and removed its tendons to make that set of scales and whip.

Therefore, these two things are equivalent to the dragon's physical body; neither can be missing if it wants to be completely resurrected.

Originally, he thought they were just insignificant rats, and with so many skeleton guards around, there was nothing to worry about. However, things didn't go as planned.

If those two things are gone, wouldn't their grand plan, which they've been waiting for for ten thousand years, be in vain?

"What are you doing?!"

On the second floor, Ji Fanya got up from the ground, his face dark with anger. He pointed at the twelve guards and shouted, "You all ran away, why did you stop our operation? Now we can't leave!"

"If it weren't for you, would these skeleton soldiers have gone berserk?"

The twelve guards, anxious and eager to know the Third Princess's condition, retorted defiantly, "What's going on upstairs? Tell us quickly!"

"You've got us stuck here, and you still have the nerve to ask?"

Looking at the densely packed skeleton guards around him, Ji Fanya was furious and wanted to smash these bad guys into mincemeat with a pot.

"You're just a little kid, how could you..."

"twelve."

At this moment, the eldest of the bodyguards spoke up to stop them.
