"Holy crap, it's coming for me!"
Seeing dozens of bone dragons soar into the air and rush towards him, Shen Yunhao was terrified. He grabbed the girl around the waist, patted her bottom, and shouted, "Run! Run!"
Mo Yan didn't care about anything else at the moment. She stretched out her vines to tie the two of them together, and then transformed into a streak of light and flew forward.
These bone dragons weren't individually strong enough to make her wary; the key was their sheer number and their invincibility...
He also needed to protect Shen Yunhao, whose cultivation level was lower. If they fought for a long time, he could easily be worn down and killed.
"These bone dragons... seem to be getting more and more frenzied?"
Hiding behind Mo Yan, Shen Yunhao observed the movements of the bone dragons, his brows furrowing slightly. "Could it really be because of Han Haixin? That doesn't make sense..."
As is widely known, the function of Hanhaixin is to treat, restore, and make one immune to all poisons.
It's normal for someone who's in a manic state to recover from the influence of the Vast Ocean Heart, but to say that the Vast Ocean Heart can cause certain sleeping creatures to fall into mania... that sounds a bit outrageous.
unless……
"These bone dragons seem... a bit abnormal. Anything that can elicit such a reaction from the Vast Ocean Heart must either be afraid of water or be something extremely evil and dark in the world..."
“I thought of that too, but…” Shen Yunhao sighed and said, “Now that it has been confirmed that this is the land of the Ancestral Dragon, these bone dragons are very likely the remains of the ancestors of the North Sea Dragon Clan. How could they be the most evil and dark things?”
"Perhaps it's under some kind of curse..."
"curse……"
Shen Yunhao stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, "How about... we try catching one!"
"???"
Mo Yan spread her divine sense as far as possible and spat out in annoyance, "The whole world is full of bone dragons. Even if you catch one, where are you going to study it?"
"Alright, alright... let's just run away!"
Flying to the back, seeing dozens or even hundreds of bone dragons covering the sky and almost filling the underground cave, Shen Yunhao realized how ridiculous his request had been.
Fortunately, the bone dragons were quite large, and their large numbers caused overcrowding, making their movements noticeably slower.
Mo Yan used her agile body to move through the underground, and the bone dragons couldn't do anything about her for a while.
"This won't do. These wretched things are everywhere, there's nowhere to hide, and they never seem to get tired. If we keep going, we'll be worn down sooner or later..."
Mo Yan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. "If all else fails, I will have to use my true form's power to forcibly destroy this secret realm!"
The Dark Abyss Vine at the Void Realm level, when unleashed at full power, is undoubtedly terrifying in its destructive force; this secret realm might not be able to withstand it...
At this moment, Shen Yunhao narrowed his eyes and pointed to a spot.
"Look! There!"
Following the line of sight, one could see that the stalactites on a certain dome had been smashed to pieces by the bone dragon, revealing a huge hole behind it, and at this moment, bone dragons were still crawling out of the hole.
"We've never been up there before; it must be another level of the secret realm. Let's go take a look!"
Without hesitation, Mo Yan conjured a thick wisteria vine to protect the two of them, and flew upwards while enduring the dragon flames spewed by the bone dragons in front of them.
Shen Yunhao felt a tightening around his waist, and his whole body was lifted into the air. The dark blue dragon flames spewed by the bone dragon grazed his feet, and the scorching air waves made his calves burn.
The two narrowly escaped the horde of bone dragons and rushed into the dark cave.
"Watch out on the left!"
Shen Yunhao suddenly shouted.
A smaller bone dragon crashed in from the side, its white claws slashing straight at the wisteria in the sky.
At the critical moment, Mo Yan's body twisted strangely, and the wisteria vine lashed at the head of the bone dragon like a whip, using the force to change direction and barely avoid the fatal blow.
"These guys actually know how to launch a sneak attack?"
Mo Yan gritted her teeth fiercely, while Shen Yunhao was already looking around.
This is a more spacious cave than the lower level, with a dome so high it's almost invisible. The air is filled with a putrid, bloody smell that makes your nose itch.
Not far away, a few bone dragons were also arriving from all directions.
"Boom!"
Fortunately, the dozens of bone dragons chasing after them got stuck at the cave entrance because they were rushing too fast and couldn't get up for a while.
"Great opportunity! Let's go!"
However, the two had only flown a short distance forward when they were startled by what they saw!
"This is……"
Mo Yan's purple pupils shrank suddenly, and Shen Yunhao couldn't help but gasp.
At the end of the cave, a huge, jet-black stone pillar stands in the center of a circular altar. The surface of the pillar is carved with intricate dragon patterns, pointing straight towards the top of the cave, seemingly supporting the entire underground cavern.
At first glance, this huge stone pillar is somewhat similar to the Sea-Stabilizing Needle in Shen Yunhao's memory!
But at this moment, the entire stone pillar was covered by a layer of writhing, blood-red light. That light flowed like living things in the dragon-patterned grooves, emitting a nauseatingly evil aura.
"Evil Soul Blood Qi!" Shen Yunhao exclaimed, "It's actually evil soul blood qi! No wonder this feeling felt so familiar, someone actually spread evil soul blood qi here!"
"Is this the thing you mentioned before... that can drive the demon race mad?"
Mo Yan's expression was also somewhat unpleasant: "Isn't this the work of the Blood Sect? How could it appear in the Ancestral Dragon Land of the North Sea... No wonder those bone dragons went berserk. This totem pole must have been contaminated by blood energy, which has instead become the source of the bone dragons' agitation!"
Shen Yunhao took a deep breath, "It seems... the North Sea is not as safe as it appears on the surface... the Blood Sect is truly omnipresent!"
"There's no time to think about that!" Mo Yan pondered for a moment. "This totem is probably the key to controlling the bone dragons. If we remove the blood energy from it, these bone dragons will probably keep coming!"
"The Heart of the Vast Ocean can be dispelled, but such a massive amount... it might take a very long time!"
"Look down!"
At this moment, Mo Yan suddenly raised her hand and pointed downwards.
Shen Yunhao looked in the direction and found that the blood energy on the totem was not evenly distributed, but spread outward from a certain point at the bottom of the pillar, where... something was vaguely stuck.
"There's a dagger stuck at the base of the pillar!" Shen Yunhao's expression hardened. "The blood energy is spreading from the dagger, so that must be the source of the blood energy!"
"There's no other way now! The Heart of the Vast Ocean is in your hands, and only you can try!"
Just as the two were about to step forward, the entire cave suddenly began to shake violently, and the roars of bone dragons echoed from afar, even more ferocious than before.
Looking back, the bone dragons that had been stuck at the cave entrance had already rushed in.
"No! These bone dragons are too troublesome!"
The girl looked around and gritted her teeth, saying, "I'll help you block the bone dragon. You hurry up and purify this damn evil spirit blood!"
