Chapter 55
Dragon Tomb? How could it be a Dragon Tomb?
This reminder made Ye Bai's spine tingle. This was over. Had she accidentally teleported to the ancient dragon clan's ancestral tomb?!
If this is discovered, it won’t be solved by a breath of dragon. It will have to be eaten alive by the ancient dragon clan!
Wait...that's not right. As soon as this thought came to his mind, Ye Bai discovered something was wrong.
The Sky City is a floating city, and the important dragon tomb in it must be in a more secret place inside the Sky City. As long as the ancient dragons did not develop a hobby of dancing on graves, they would go to the dance studio if they wanted to fight... well, fighting in unimportant places would not drive the dragon tombs to the ground.
Just as Ye Bai had always thought, even if some building debris dropped from the Dragon Cave, under normal circumstances, it would be just the edges and corners, without much content.
But now, Ye Bai saw a large number of dragon language characters in the nearby rubble, and even learned the ancient dragon language to the maximum proficiency.
Ye Bai opened the achievement system and looked at his newly acquired title——
[Dragon Language Expert] Ancient Dragon Favorability +10, Physical Limit +50
This is a very good rare achievement. Ye Bai successfully changed her job at level 20, and her physical strength limit only increased by 20 points. This achievement added 50 points to her at once.
Although it seems easy for Ye Bai to obtain this achievement, it is actually not easy to obtain under normal circumstances. Most of the knowledge of ancient dragons is inherited through blood. A building that records a large amount of dragon language can probably only be found in an important place like a dragon tomb in a dragon cave.
The whole thing reveals something unusual... What happened to the ancient dragon clan?
Ye Bai subconsciously looked up at the sky above his head. It was gray, as if covered by a huge gray curtain. He could not see the sun or the city in the sky.
A cool breeze blew, bringing a chill.
Ye Bai was startled and came back to his senses from his thoughts, continuing to observe the words on the huge rocks.
"King... Liard..."
The dragon claw marks that were completely incomprehensible before have now miraculously become something that Ye Bai can understand.
However, these contents are incomplete and scattered, and need to be pieced together slowly by Ye Bai.
'Glorious Years...'
'Breakthrough...die in annihilation...'
It is indeed a dragon tomb. The front part looks like part of the name, and this part seems to record the 'year' and 'cause of death' of a certain dragon. After the dragon dies normally, its body will disappear. The dragon tomb does not really bury the dragons, but records their real names and deeds.
Ye Bai was concentrating on observing the contents on each huge stone, and he really had the posture of an archaeologist and historian.
At a certain moment while observing, Ye Bai suddenly felt something strange in her heart, as if someone was staring at her. She suddenly raised her head from in front of the boulder.
However, after looking around, there was no one around, and the only pair of eyes he met was that of a donkey.
The donkey tilted its head: "Ah uh?"
——What are you looking at?
Ye Bai automatically translated the donkey's words in her mind, which instantly broke the suspenseful and terrifying atmosphere that had just risen in her heart.
In this unusual place, the donkey, an ordinary creature, brought Ye Bai a lot of psychological security.
Oh no, to be precise, this donkey is not ordinary.
Ye Bai shook his head, jumped over a huge rock, came to another area, and continued to read the new dragon language content.
What Ye Bai didn't know was that on the stone where her light feather cloak passed, there was indeed a strange outline that changed and twisted, and it flashed away.
Compared to the violent shattering of the first piece, Ye Bai obtained richer information from the boulders he saw in other locations.
The biggest gain was the full dragon language names of the two ancient dragons recorded in the dragon tomb, which is also the "real name" of the dragons.
Meredith Carisiello... [Silver Dragon]
"Raincruiser..." [Thunder Dragon]
The moment Ye Bai collected the names of the Silver Dragon and the Thunder Dragon, she received another prompt.
[You obtain the historical clue 'Dragon Language Magic', you gain 20 historical experience points, you gain 20,000 experience points]
The historical experience Ye Bai had gained during the half day in the God Realm was enough to upgrade his historian from level one to level three. However, he had not gone to Melo City to find a mentor to complete the upgrade task, so he was currently unable to change his job.
Ye Bai was not surprised by the clue of dragon language magic.
Among the ancient dragons who worship power, those who can leave their names in the dragon tomb and are also well-known among the dragon clan are powerful enough to reach the level of gods.
In the divine realm, powerful individuals who reach the divine level will undergo a transformation in strength, and their names alone contain power.
The full names of the Silver Dragon and the Thunder Dragon are two dragon language magics!
The Dragon Tomb is not essentially the dragon clan's ancestral tomb in the conventional sense. Its significance within the dragon clan is closer to a monument and a 'magic library'.
"What a pity..." Ye Bai sighed regretfully.
Dragon language magic must be chanted in Dragon Language to be effective. Even among the dragon bloodline ethnic groups, only a few groups can speak Dragon Language and use Dragon Language magic.
Although Ye Bai is now a "dragon language expert" who can understand ancient dragon language, her situation is that she can only "see but not speak" because as a human being she lacks the complex vocal organs of dragons.
"Oh no! It's so late."
Ye Bai, who had just come back to his senses from collecting data, suddenly noticed that the sky had turned dark blue and night was about to fall.
Thinking of the feeling of being stared at just now, Ye Bai looked around. As night fell, the uneasy feeling of being stared at came again.
"Woo..."
There was a strange buzzing sound coming from somewhere in the distance, like some kind of animal, or metal, or mountain wind.
Ye Bai looked at the donkey that had been following her, took out a piece of bread from her backpack and fed it.
"Did you feel anything?"
Donkey: "Baji, baji..."
Ye Bai: "Forget it." It seems that there is nothing to be asked.
As night was approaching, Ye Bai found a flat and open place among the huge rocks as his resting place for the night.
Then he took out the chopped firewood from his backpack and quickly lit a simple bonfire.
As an advanced map, it certainly has the "display" of a high-level map. The night in the divine realm is different from that in all other realms. Because of the existence of "divinity", many undead creatures will appear at night. Players who do not stay around the flames will attract attacks from undead creatures, which must be at least level 60.
Therefore, in the divine realm, if you don’t want to kill monsters at night, it is best to build a bonfire before logging off.
This time when Ye Bai came to the God Realm, he brought three sets of chopped firewood and a finely crafted axe inlaid with source energy crystals from his territory. Even if the firewood was used up, he could make new ones using local materials.
"Hey, I say...you're not just an ordinary donkey, are you?"
Sitting by the campfire, with nothing to do, Ye Bai went to chat with the donkey next to him.
The donkey looked at Ye Bai lazily, too lazy to even bray, and just flicked its tail in response.
Seeing this, Ye Bai was somewhat used to it and continued to talk for fun: "You understand what I'm saying, right? How did you steal the two loaves of bread from my backpack?"
Donkey: “…”
Ye Bai: "If this is the remains of a dragon tomb, it is very unusual for a donkey like you to appear here. Stop pretending."
Donkey: “…”
Ye Bai: "Since we've started taming you, how about I give you a name?"
"Just call..."
The name was abandoned. Ye Bai dragged on for a long time and suddenly there was no further news.
The donkey's two erect ears twitched, its white-haired mouth rubbed left and right, and then it opened...
"Ottophis."
"Huh?!"
Ye Bai was shocked and stared at the donkey. He saw that the expression on the donkey's face was the same as his own, full of surprise. Although it was difficult to see the expression on the donkey's face, the donkey's expression was indeed very rich.
If he hadn't heard the familiar donkey's bray at the same time, Ye Bai would almost have thought that the sound was made by a donkey.
The next moment, Ye Bai realized what was happening and immediately stood up from the ground:
"who?!"
She took out the snow-colored sword and held it in her hand, looking vigilantly behind the surrounding boulders to prevent any creatures from suddenly jumping out from behind.
"Did you get scared? I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm."
The male voice sounded again. This time, Ye Bai was prepared and found the source of the voice. It was a huge white stone closest to the campfire. There was indeed enough space behind the stone for a person to hide.
Being able to communicate is a good sign, but Ye Bai stared at the outline of the boulder and waited for several seconds, but the expected scene did not appear.
——No person or creature came out from behind the boulder.
Ye Bai's brows slowly furrowed.
"If you're being so secretive, I can't convince myself that you have no ill intentions."
"Uh... I'm not hiding. I'm right here," the voice replied immediately, then suddenly with a hint of embarrassment: "I'm right here on this white rock. I'm waving at you. Can you see me?"
wave?
Ye Bai was full of questions. She didn't see any living creatures near Bai Shi at all!
With doubts, Ye Bai hesitated for a moment, then took out a candle from the first batch produced with animal fats in the territory from his backpack, lit it beside the campfire, and approached the white stone carefully step by step, wondering if the other party was a particularly small race?
Fingerfly elves? Plankton? Logically, these two races shouldn't appear in a place like this. The former are magical creatures from the Ten Thousand Worlds, and the latter rarely interact with other races.
After carefully searching the outline of the white stone, Ye Bai did not find the expected "pocket race" NPC on it.
It was not until Ye Bai looked down and saw the changes on the surface of the boulder that her pupils suddenly shrank.
I saw that the dragon language characters on the flat surface of the white stone had changed at some point. The traces of the dragon claws "writing" had not changed, but the dragon language characters that were supposed to be formed had taken on a different appearance at some point.
Although the dragon text's style is somewhat abstract and rough, it can still be seen that it is a clear human outline.
What made Ye Bai notice the abnormality was the position of the arms of the human figure.
The 'marks' that made up the arm seemed to come alive, swaying from side to side. Judging from the movements, it was 'waving' to Ye Bai.
Ye Bai shuddered all over and took a step back in fear.
Oh my god! What the hell is this?
