Chapter 971 - 194: Dragon Bone Tomb
On the Great Snow Mountain, the avalanche roared, trees shattered, and the Dragon Flame ignited raging mountain fires,
A Demon Dragon with a long neck, resembling that of a serpent, and a sharp single horn on its head, glared with its round dragon eyes, lying on the ground, gasping heavily, it was clear that its recent frantic rampage had exhausted most of its physical strength.
All around it was charred black, and the ground was faintly cracked.
This adult dragon, nearly thirty meters in length, possessed enough power to easily destroy a human town, and any coordinated dragon-slaying team or self-proclaimed brave Viking Warrior could only serve as a snack in its presence.
"Despicable humans, damn thieves!"
As a higher Dragon Species, the female dragon was different from its ignorant kin; it could deduce who exactly had stolen its child.
Those who could withstand biological instincts to approach its Dragon’s Nest could only be a fellow dragon of high intelligence or those weak yet cunning humans.
Although some male dragons destroy a female dragon’s Dragon Egg to incite another mating, the traces left behind aren’t easily erased, so the only possible answer could be those small, clever humans.
This time, when it went out hunting in order to return in time to guard the Dragon Egg, it didn’t wander far; in such a short time, the thief couldn’t have escaped the mountain!
After venting its anger, the regained-calm female dragon took to the skies, circling incessantly.
It couldn’t believe these thieves would never emerge from hiding!
...
The icy air filled Losa’s chest, and the biting cold wind formed a layer of frost over his Scale Armor and head crest.
Losa is a Fire Dragon; when he first mastered True Dragon Transformation, even the heaviest snowflakes on his body would quickly vaporize, but not so now. This indicated the depth of his control over his power post-True Dragon Transformation.
"The spirituality here in the north is abundant, no wonder it’s a paradise for supernatural creatures."
In Losa’s view, this place was the most replete with Spiritual Energy he had encountered, though limited to this world.
"How does it compare to the Ancient Era?"
Wrapped in a thick fur coat, Miss Judge peeked her little head out from between the wind-blocking bone spurs on the Demon Dragon’s neck.
"Not comparable."
Losa shook his head: "The Ancient Era I’ve visited was during the height of the land power struggle between Giant Dragons and the Giant Race, even further back than the era of active gods. Besides, this world’s Spiritual Power isn’t as abundant as yours..."
In Yesterday’s Giant Ship World, the number of Extraordinary was way more than in this world.
Not to mention, there were a slew of "True God" level big shots. Though most were dormant and no longer active, the ceiling set by Yesterday’s Giant Ship World was beyond comparison to this world.
"It’s a pity I couldn’t witness it myself."
Lavinia was quite curious to glimpse the Ancient Era’s splendor. After all, it wasn’t like she would actually die.
"In that world, giant beasts were everywhere. Dragons reaching fifty meters were common, and a hundred meters just made you an elite. Only those surpassing three hundred meters counted as the backbone of the Giant Dragon species, and there’s also the elder council, which was even more formidable."
"Ladon and I could blend in due to our dragon heritage, hang around. But bringing you along would make us too conspicuous; we might not even lie low until the war ended."
Indeed, Losa found it a huge pity. That battle record would have been a great opportunity to broaden the attendants’ views, but the difficulty was just too high. The dragons’ opponents were giants with two arms and two legs too. Bringing Lavinia would definitely lead others to see them as Giant Race spies.
Listening to Losa’s depiction, Miss Judge could imagine the Giant Dragon species’ strength during its peak.
"It’s hard to believe that such a prominent Giant Dragon species now has so little habitat left."
Losa conveyed, "Certainly, even though they’re not in the same world, the Giant Dragon species in both worlds has dwindled significantly."
"As for this world, Extraordinary Power is scarce, and Extraordinary tend to avoid official conflicts. I can’t quite grasp how they drove the dragons to the world’s fringes."
"Perhaps the world has become unsuitable for such large beasts."
Losa couldn’t offer a definitive answer, merely guessing: "The towering ancient trees of the past, giant plants have all perished. Herbivorous giant beasts couldn’t survive, thus affecting the dragons that fed on them."
The Judge Miss recalled records she processed regarding the consumption of a Dragon’s Nest outside Alexandria.
"Indeed, if you consider Ladon’s appetite, it’s hard for them to get satiated."
Losa suddenly transmitted, surprised: "Nia, look quickly, what’s that!"
Lavinia hurriedly peeked out, gazing down. Scattered amidst the enormous mountain range lay colossal Dragon Bones, winding like staircases covering the entire valley. The bones had turned jade-like, and a rough count estimated at least a few hundred.
Such a confluence of giant beast skeletons was naturally astonishingly impactful.
Losa brought Lavinia down from the clouds to take a closer look.
These Dragon Bones, long vacant of power from the passing years, could no longer serve as materials for Casters. However, transformed into these "jades," if excavated, would likely be more valuable than the Baltic Sea’s famous "Amber."
Yet, the land was rarely visited, enduring severe cold, and these jades were extremely solid, making excavation challenging.
But according to Losa’s previous life’s trajectory, once the Vikings fully conquered the Sami, they’d likely exploit the cheap labor to dig up these "ore veins."
Losa’s thinking remained human, not transitioning to Dragon Species thinking despite his dragon lineage.
Lavinia conjectured: "This must be the Dragon Bone Tomb, just like an elephant graveyard."
