Chapter 202 Dragon Bones and Caves
Buzz!
At that moment, a giant hand appeared out of thin air.
The palm was entirely formed from spiritual energy, crystal clear, and radiating a faint glow.
The palms are extremely large.
It's incredibly big.
The fingers alone are at least ten meters long.
President Qin and the others were stunned when they saw the giant hand.
They certainly recognized this technique.
The art of capturing objects.
The most basic of the basics.
Now that the cultivation methods of the Great Xia Dynasty have entered the popularization stage, the first technique that many practitioners learn after entering the sect is the technique of object manipulation.
but……
Is the ability to manipulate objects really that strong?
That giant hand felt more terrifying than any magic they had ever seen.
That was purely built up from a massive amount of spiritual energy.
No skill is required.
No changes are needed.
It is pure power.
Absolute power.
President Qin swallowed hard.
Is this Master Li?
How can even a basic spell be used with such terrifying power?
To everyone's astonishment, the giant hand plunged into the lake.
boom!
The lake surface suddenly exploded!
The giant hand plunged deep into the lake bottom, stirring it up.
The entire lake began to tremble.
The lake water surged and churned, creating huge waves.
The gray fog completely dissipated.
Then, the giant hand began to lift upwards.
Something was being held in the palm of his hand.
It was all white.
densely packed.
It's a skeleton.
Countless skeletons.
Various kinds.
Some were humanoid, some were animaloid, and some were completely unrecognizable.
Those skeletons were pulled out of the lake by the giant hand.
The moment it surfaced...
Whoosh!
The vast majority of them turned into dust!
White powder fell softly, sprinkling across the lake and drifting everywhere.
President Qin and the others stared wide-eyed at this scene.
The giant hand continued to lift upwards.
The powder continued to fall.
at last.
The giant hand completely left the lake surface.
In the palm of his hand, only a skeleton remained.
The skeleton was very long.
It is at least ten meters long.
shape……
It's very strange.
President Qin's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at the skeleton.
That skeleton...
It has a head.
The skull is triangular with two horns, a protruding mouth, and two rows of sharp teeth. Even as just bones, it exudes a chilling aura.
It has a neck.
The neck bones are thick and segmented, like a thick chain.
It has a torso.
The skeleton of the torso is thick, with each rib clearly defined, forming a huge cage-like structure.
It has four limbs.
The bones of the limbs are thick and powerful, with short forelimbs and long hind limbs, each ending in a claw.
and also……
Tail?
No.
It has no tail.
The bones at the tail looked as if they had been broken off by something, leaving only a broken piece.
President Qin stared at the skeleton, and his mind went blank.
This……
This is……
dragon?
The legendary dragon?!
He subconsciously looked at Master Xuanming.
Master Xuanming also stared at the skeleton, his face full of shock.
Zhang Tianshi and Qingwei Sect Leader were both stunned.
They stared at the skeleton, speechless for a long time.
The shape of the skeleton, though incomplete, was too obvious.
This is clearly the dragon from the legends of the Great Xia Dynasty!
However, the dragon bone was covered with scars.
There were several deep cracks on the skull.
There are several obvious fracture marks on the neck bone.
Countless ribs in the torso were broken.
The bones of the limbs also suffered varying degrees of damage.
The tail section is the worst off.
It's completely gone.
Only a broken piece remained, as if it had been forcibly torn off by something.
Li Jun stared at the skeleton for a moment, stunned.
He remained silent for a few seconds.
Then, he manipulated the giant hand to gently place the skeleton on the lakeside.
When the skeleton landed, it made a muffled "boom".
Li Jun stepped forward and examined it carefully.
It is indeed a dragon.
Although he wasn't sure if it was the same kind of dragon as the legendary ones.
But the shape of the skeleton is too similar.
He crouched down, reached out, and gently touched the dragon skeleton.
The moment your fingertip touches the bone...
hum!
A very faint buzzing sound came from the skeleton.
Li Jun could sense that there was still an extremely weak power remaining in this dragon bone.
That power had already faded considerably.
It was so faint it almost disappeared.
But it does exist.
He withdrew his hand and looked at President Qin.
"This thing should have some value."
"Let's send it outside the oasis first."
After saying that, he used his teleportation technique again.
A gigantic hand materialized once more, gently grasping the dragon skeleton. Then, the giant hand slowly rose and flew out of the oasis.
As President Qin watched the giant hand disappear into the distance, a thought suddenly came to mind.
This dragon bone...
If outsiders saw this, I wonder how terrified they would be.
……
On the edge of the oasis.
The place where the helicopter landed.
Dozens of Night Watch members are waiting anxiously.
Zhao Lie stood at the front, constantly checking his watch.
"Zhao, how long have Master Li and the others been inside?" a young man next to him asked.
Zhao Lie glanced at him.
"It's been more than two hours."
The young man swallowed.
"It's been so long... I hope nothing bad has happened?"
Zhao Lie glared at him.
"What are you saying? With Master Li here, what could possibly happen?"
The young man quickly shut up.
But he couldn't help but let his mind wander.
That oasis was too eerie.
They had sent in several drones before, but they all lost contact.
Moreover, all means of communication have been ineffective since Master Li and his group went inside.
Even more bizarrely...
Although they can see the oasis with the naked eye, they cannot see the situation inside the oasis at all in any monitoring equipment, including satellite images.
The original oasis area appeared as complete darkness on the screen.
It's completely different from before.
It's like being blocked by something.
Zhao Lie was also very anxious.
But he couldn't show it.
He's in charge here; if he panics, his subordinates will panic even more.
He took a deep breath, about to say something.
Sudden……
"Look! What's that?!"
A young team member exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Lie suddenly looked up.
Then, he froze.
A giant hand is slowly flying out of the oasis!
The palm was crystal clear, gleaming with a faint light, and was astonishingly large!
In the giant hand, a massive skeleton was being grasped!
The skeleton was over ten meters long and gleamed a pale white in the sunlight!
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
They stared, mouths agape, eyes wide, as the giant hand descended from the sky.
boom!
The giant hand gently landed on the ground, placing the skeleton at the edge of the oasis.
Then, the giant hand vanished.
Transformed into countless specks of light, drifting and scattering in all directions.
Zhao Lie stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
After a long while, he managed to swallow hard.
"Let's go...let's go take a look..."
He led a few team members forward cautiously.
The skeleton lay quietly on the ground.
Very complete.
Skull, neck bones, trunk, limbs...
Everything is clearly visible.
Zhao Lie stared at the skeleton, his pupils suddenly contracting.
This shape...
A thought suddenly popped into his mind.
dragon?
Is that a dragon?!
A young teammate next to me was trembling in his voice.
"Zhao... Boss Zhao... this... this is..."
Zhao Lie did not answer.
He just stared at the skeleton, his mind blank.
a long time.
One of the team members murmured:
"Could it be... that Master Li... slew a dragon inside?"
Everyone was stunned by these words.
Slay a dragon?
Master Li, did you slay a dragon in the oasis?
Zhao Lie suddenly came to his senses.
"quick!"
"Immediately contact the technical department and jam all overhead satellites! Continue until we have the keel properly 'hidden'!"
A person nearby smiled wryly upon hearing this.
"Boss Zhao, this will take time, and just a short while ago, it was enough for other countries to notice this place."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lie shook his head helplessly.
"Then forget it."
He paused, then looked at the dragon skeleton.
"Hopefully...they won't be scared."
……
at the same time.
Every corner of the blue planet.
Those "eyes" that have been watching the Taklamakan Desert all witnessed this breathtaking scene.
Europa, headquarters of the Church of Holy Light.
In the enormous conference hall, the Pope and the cardinals were staring at a large screen.
On the screen is a live feed transmitted from the satellite.
In the scene, the eerie oasis is still shrouded in darkness.
I can't see anything.
"Damn it," a cardinal muttered, "What on earth is going on?"
The Pope remained silent.
Just then.
In the scene, a giant hand suddenly flies out of the darkness!
It is crystal clear and has a faint glow!
In his palm, he was holding a huge skeleton!
The skeleton was clearly visible in the sunlight!
The conference room fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the skeleton.
That shape...
Someone asked in a trembling voice:
"What...what is that?"
No one answered.
But a terrible thought popped into everyone's mind.
That is……
dragon?
The dragon in the legends of the Great Xia Dynasty?
The giant hand, grasping the dragon bone, slowly landed at the edge of the oasis.
Then, the giant hand vanished.
The dragon bones lay quietly on the ground.
The conference room remained deathly silent.
a long time.
The Pope spoke with difficulty.
"Then... what level of energy did that giant hand reach?"
A technician standing nearby said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty... our energy monitoring devices... exploded the moment the giant hand appeared..."
The Pope was stunned.
Another explosion?
He turned his head sharply and looked at the technician.
"Hasn't our energy monitoring equipment already been upgraded?"
The technicians looked distressed.
"Your Majesty, it has been upgraded."
"But the energy level of that giant hand exceeded the limits of the monitoring device."
The Pope remained silent.
He recalled the giant golden sword that stretched across the sky above the land of cherry blossoms.
That sword caused their monitoring equipment to explode.
Now, this giant hand has destroyed their upgraded monitoring device.
"Could the power level of this giant hand be even stronger than the golden giant sword that appeared in Japan?"
The Pope's voice trembled.
The technician shook his head upon hearing this.
"Your Majesty, the two cannot be compared."
"Our energy monitoring devices are currently limited to ten times the standard value of the Divine Realm, and the energy fluctuations that have occurred, both now and during the previous cherry blossom incident, have far exceeded the limits of our monitoring values."
"In this respect, we still lag behind Great Xia."
The Pope remained silent for a long time after hearing this.
gap.
Another gap.
He took a deep breath.
"Continue monitoring."
……
New World, Paranormal Research Bureau.
Jason stood in front of the big screen, staring at the dragon skeleton, his face ashen.
The people around didn't dare to breathe.
a long time.
Jason spoke, his voice hoarse.
"Contact Japan immediately and tell them... to fend for themselves."
……
Inside the oasis.
Li Jun was unaware of what was happening outside.
He didn't care.
At this moment, he was leading President Qin and the others forward.
He didn't care.
At this moment, he was leading President Qin and the others forward.
We went around that lake.
We walked through a twisted grove of trees.
We passed through a depression covered with huge footprints.
Ahead, we arrived at that area of broken mountain peaks.
Li Jun stopped and looked up.
Those mountains can no longer be called mountains.
Some broke in the middle, with the upper part stuck obliquely in the ground.
Some collapsed entirely, turning into piles of rubble.
Some of them are covered with cracks, as if they might break at any moment.
Even so, one can still see what these mountains used to look like.
Those are individual mountain peaks.
One after another, they rose from the ground.
Valleys connect the mountain peaks.
On the mountain peak, the remains of some buildings can be vaguely seen.
But now, it's all broken.
Li Jun closed his eyes.
Divine thoughts surged forth once more.
They ventured toward that area.
Then, he felt that the tough membrane was just ten meters in front of him.
The divine sense struck it, but was gently deflected.
Li Jun opened his eyes.
He stepped forward.
Reach out and touch.
The moment his fingertips touched the barrier, he felt a slight resistance.
Just like...
It's like touching the surface of water.
He exerted a little force.
His hand passed right through it.
Li Jun was stunned for a moment.
He looked at his hands, then at the invisible barrier.
Only blocking divine thoughts?
Not obstructing the physical body?
What's the logic behind this?
President Qin and the others standing behind him were stunned by his actions.
"Master Li?" President Qin asked cautiously.
Li Jun withdrew his hand.
"This barrier only blocks divine thoughts."
"The body can pass through."
President Qin and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Only blocking divine thoughts?
What kind of operation is this?
Zhang Tianshi thought for a moment and then stepped forward.
He reached out and touched the barrier.
Then, he also put his hand in.
"It really can."
He withdrew his hand and looked at Li Jun.
"Master, shall we... go inside and take a look?"
Li Jun nodded.
He lifted his foot and took a step forward.
He passed right through that barrier.
President Qin, Daoist Xuanming, Celestial Master Zhang, and Sect Leader Qingwei also followed.
The moment he passed through the barrier, Li Jun felt that everything around him had changed.
The violent aura that permeated the entire oasis had faded considerably.
Instead, it evokes a more ancient and weathered feeling.
Just like...
It was like stepping into a ruin forgotten by time.
more importantly……
That faint aura became much stronger.
It's right there in that broken mountain peak.
Li Jun looked up.
The lower half of the mountain peak still stands, with the broken section jagged.
The mountainside is covered with huge cracks, as if it had been slashed by a sharp blade.
And among those cracks, a hole can be vaguely seen.
The cave entrance is small, only about the height of a person, and is mostly obscured by a huge rock.
That aura emanated from that cave entrance.
Li Jun stared at the hole and remained silent for a few seconds.
Then, he stepped forward.
Reaching the entrance of the cave, he reached out and gently pushed aside the boulder.
The boulder crashed down, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The dust has settled.
The entrance to the cave was revealed.
It was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see anything.
Li Jun took a deep breath, lifted his foot, and stepped into the cave.
President Qin and his group exchanged glances.
Then, gritting his teeth, he followed.
