Chapter 1419: Chapter 1412: Injured
Amidst the dense Yin Qi, there was a sense of suppression.
But Lin Tian still couldn’t be sure whether the gigantic skeleton before him was indeed the Dragon Bone Corpse.
Because the skeleton was severely damaged.
The skull was gone, many of the limb bones were broken, only the massive fra remained.
“Judging by this fra, it’s very likely the skeleton left by a deceased True Dragon! There’s a faint Dragon Power aura on it, very weak, but extrely similar to the True Dragon I saw in my previous life!”
Lin Tian circled around the huge skeleton, searching for the true source of the Yin Qi. He murmured to himself, finally looking toward the direction of the previous two voices, “Earlier, those two ntioned the Dragon Tomb… and I could hear them, but it seems they can’t sense the commotion from my side?”
Thinking of this, Lin Tian decided to give it a try.
He walked once more towards the depths of the pit, reaching the underground opening that extended to who knows where, and with a reverse grip, he struck the mountainside fiercely with his sword.
Boom~
With one slash, the entire underground began to shake, and pebbles and soil crumbled down.
Lin Tian put away his sword and once more probed the opening with his Divine Sense.
Over there, the soft murmuring continued uninterrupted.
It seed that the two of them didn’t sense this great commotion at all.
It appeared that such a large commotion didn’t alert them.
“One called the other ‘Master,’ and ntioned Corpse Soul Mountain. Who are they? They also spoke of an Ancient Hall; could it be the sa Ancient Hall Long Motian ntioned?”
“Besides, there’s the Dragon Tomb! Could it be that this place and that side are linked, or is it a kind of underground array?”
Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, various questions flashing through his mind. He frowned and said, “If there’s a connection… then this huge corpse in the pit is even more extraordinary!”
After probing repeatedly, Lin Tian couldn’t figure out where the two were, and since they didn’t notice this side, he gave up.
He returned to the side of the corpse and plunged into the gigantic fra of the skeleton.
On the ground inside the fra lay a heap of human bones, extrely appalling.
Next to them were large ruts, massive enough to squat a person inside.
They were clearly the traces left from battles fought here long ago.
On the other end of the ruts piled many stacks of stones, covered in moss.
This was the source of the stream, seeping through the mountains and underground, incredibly damp.
“The source of the Yin Qi is beneath those stones!”
Lin Tian’s Divine Sense swept the area of the corpse repeatedly, finally walking toward the pile of stones.
Divine Sense had said that he could even see the Yin Qi rising as waves of smoke.
With such concentrated energy, Lin Tian’s eyes couldn’t help but sparkle with excitent, a look of exhilaration on his face.
Judging by the amount of Yin Qi before him, it was enough to further solidify his cultivation. Before long, he could progress to the Second Transition of the Fake Core Realm, and his cultivation and strength would rise to another level!
After clearing the stone pile with his Flying Sword, a pit the size of a water jar appeared beneath.
Inside the pit was a large, fractured skull.
Judging from the extension of the skull, it was clearly the head bone of a giant beast.
“Dragon Bone! Definitely Dragon Bone!”
Lin Tian’s eyes shone brightly, his face full of excitent, he quickly squatted down, reaching out to lift the skull.
But as soon as his hand touched the skull, it shattered with a crisp crack, turning into white powder.
It seed that over ti, the skull had long decayed beyond salvage.
Lin Tian touched it, and it directly turned to dust!
However.
With the skull shattered, what appeared beneath was a shimring “stone” of a vivid green color.
The “stone” was entirely green, emitting a green glow, with green smoke rising, the Yin Qi surging, incredibly overwhelming.
“Hiss! This is…”
Lin Tian’s eyes widened, letting out a rare gasp, exclaiming, “Corpse Marrow! And it’s Dragon Corpse Essence! No wonder the entire Youzi Mountain has that intense Yin Qi, it’s not because of a longstanding tomb, but because of this Corpse Marrow!”
Looking at the Corpse Marrow in the pit, Lin Tian’s eyes were blazing, filled with excitent.
He took a deep breath, looking up towards the top of the deep pit.
Only a small ray of light ca down from above, very faint.
From here to the top was a distance, and above was a canyon with interwoven streams, lush with vegetation, rarely visited by anyone here.
It’s normal for this place to go undiscovered.
“No need to cultivate here! Take this Corpse Marrow straight away, with this, there’s a great chance of advancing to the Second or even Third Transition of the Fake Core!”
Suppressing his excitent, Lin Tian quickly retrieved a box from his Storage Bag to store the Corpse Marrow.
This journey wasn’t in vain!
He had sensed sothing peculiar before, and today’s investigation indeed bore fruit!
Lin Tian couldn’t help but comnd himself inwardly, walking out of the gigantic corpse.
But just as he stepped out, a crash ca from behind, and the huge fra collapsed, turning into white powder.
Perhaps it was due to taking away the Corpse Marrow, the once somber and fearso Dragon Bone returned to dust and ashes!
Glancing around and finding nothing else, Lin Tian turned and prepared to leave the deep pit, heading towards the direction where whispers were coming.
“Ah…”
At that mont, a sudden scream ca from above the pit.
It was Nian Ziqi’s voice!
Lin Tian’s expression changed, and he rushed upwards, arriving at the top of the pit.
On reaching the top, he saw Nian Ziqi falling down the gentle slope of the pit.
She was half-buried among a pile of skulls and broken bones, flailing in panic, sweeping away the horrifying things with closed eyes, letting out a sharp scream.
“Class Leader, stop, stop! It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m here!”
Lin Tian rushed over, helping Nian Ziqi up, comforting her repeatedly.
He could understand; a normal girl would be scared to the point of soul scattering in such a situation.
Nian Ziqi’s reaction was nothing but normal.
Lin Tian eventually lifted Nian Ziqi, leaping up to the top of the canyon, walking along the stream’s edge at the canyon entrance.
“Why didn’t you stay above instead of coming down?”
Holding Nian Ziqi as they walked, reaching the shore, Lin Tian put her down and said, “First wash your hands and face, it’s all over!”
Only then did Nian Ziqi open her eyes, seeing the surrounding situation, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Just now I heard a great commotion, got scared, and wanted to co down to find you!”
“Ouch…”
Though Nian Ziqi had just landed, she suddenly let out a cry of pain, and fell onto the ground.
“What happened?”
Lin Tian stepped forward, seeing that she was holding her right ankle. He rolled down her sock and saw the area around the ankle was already swollen.
It was most likely twisted when she fell just now; combined with her struggle, it had caused the joint to sprain severely!
Inspecting the foot, it appeared twisted, bent to one side.
The sprain was quite serious!
“Don’t worry, you’ve sprained and fractured it!”
Lin Tian comforted Nian Ziqi while holding her leg, fixing it in place.
If it twisted again, it could cause further injury, potentially making it worse.
Although he was confident in healing her, for Nian Ziqi, it was undoubtedly going to be exceedingly painful.
