Chapter 82 - Deep in the Dragon Skeleton
Luo Hongyi's words "waste utilization" were like a spark, igniting the oppressive atmosphere on the keel platform.
Tie Niu's huge body immediately moved to Luo Hongyi's side like a small mountain, with the black iron pot shield stuck on the ground, and said in a muffled voice: "Senior Sister Luo, how do I use it? I'll listen to you!" His bronze face was full of bravery and eagerness to try, as if as long as Luo Hongyi gave the order, he would dare to dismantle the ancient dragon skeleton and make soup.
Su Tang nervously glanced at Chu Linyuan, who was still sitting cross-legged casting spells with a frost-covered face, and then at Xie Zhao, who was sleeping like an ice sculpture. Her face was filled with worry: "Senior Sister Luo, Senior Brother and Second Brother..."
"You won't die!" Luo Hongyi interrupted her, her tone firm, a desperate sternness on her beautiful face. "Bingtuozi can still hold on, but it's safer for Ershazi to stay frozen for now! If we don't find a way out now, when more and more 'junk' attracted by the evil spirit outside increases, when Bingtuozi runs out of energy, when the root poison in Ershazi's body completely erupts, we'll all be finished!"
Her gaze was sharp as a knife as she swept across the swirling sea of evil clouds and the increasingly active core of the evil spring below. "This old dragon is still restless even after death, so don't blame me for paving the road with its bones!"
Her gaze finally fell on the depths of the ancient dragon skeleton's spine, which was as huge as a mountain range.
The winding dark gold skeleton, amidst the pervasive evil spirit, was like an ancient road leading to the underworld. It was deep, deadly, and exuded a heart-pounding pressure.
"Let's go!" Luo Hongyi no longer hesitated, with poisonous mist lingering on his fingertips. He took the first step and stepped onto the cold and smooth dragon spine platform as big as a square, walking towards the huge shadow where the dragon skeleton's head and spine were connected.
Tie Niu carried his black iron pot shield, and his huge body followed closely like a mobile fortress.
Su Tang bit her lip, glanced at Chu Linyuan and Xie Zhao, then at Bai Xiaolu, and finally took a step forward. Bai Xiaolu followed silently at the end, holding the Moon-Eating Rabbit, without any hesitation.
At the edge of the platform, only Chu Linyuan, the sleeping Xie Zhao, and Chen Bo in the corner were left.
Chu Linyuan closed his eyes, maintaining the continuous output of ice evil. The frost on his forehead thickened again, and his face was pale and almost transparent.
As Luo Hongyi and the others turned and headed deeper into the dragon skeleton, his fingertips on the Immortal-Slaying Spear moved ever so slightly, as if grasping something, then helplessly letting go. The cold spear tip reflected his tightly closed eyes, deep and profound, yet no one could glimpse the complex emotions swirling beneath the ice.
Luo Hongyi walked in front, and every step she took was on the cold and smooth dark gold dragon bones, making a slight knocking sound.
The closer you get to the connection between the lower part of the dragon skeleton's head and the spine, the heavier the oppressive feeling from the ancient dragon's might becomes, as if a heavy object is pressing on your chest.
The air was as thick as mercury, and filled with a suffocatingly pure aura of dragon evil.
The gray-black evil spirit that permeated the surroundings became even thicker and more violent, like a poisonous snake choosing its prey and roaming between the huge bone gaps.
"Be careful, the evil spirit here... is a bit weird." Luo Hongyi lowered his voice, and the poisonous mist lingering on his fingertips became more condensed, moving around his body like a spirit snake, silently corroding and annihilating the cold evil spirit that tried to invade.
"Hmm!" Tie Niu responded in a muffled voice, his huge body tensed, star power surging under his skin, forming a faint starlight shield, faintly protecting him and Su Tang and Bai Xiaolu behind him.
He looked around warily at the huge jagged bone spurs and deep bone crevices, his black iron pot shield ready to swing at any time.
Su Tang's clairvoyant eyes radiated with full force, a faint golden glow swirling deep within her pupils, attempting to penetrate the dense, sinister aura. "The sinister aura's flow... is chaotic! The source... is up ahead! The energy reaction... is incredibly strong! Like... like an engulfed sun!" Her voice tinged with shock.
The Moon-Eating Rabbit in the white deer's arms also became unusually quiet. Its ruby eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and a low "gurgling" sound came from its throat. Its small body tensed, as if it sensed something that made it both desire and fear.
