Chapter 126 I've made a major discovery!

The white dragon stopped, looked down at Chu Sheng, blinked, and shook its head.

"What's there to be so happy about?" Chu Sheng asked helplessly. "Have you tried it?"

The white dragon blinked again, gently patted its throat with its front paws, and opened its mouth to make a strange "ga" sound.

"You can't even speak human language." Chu Sheng understood, and plopped down on the ice. "That's right, the Demon King also said that he had never seen a dragon in human form."

Bai Long looked at him blankly, moved his head closer to Chu Sheng, and then gently touched the pocket of his chest with the tip of his nose.

Chu Sheng took out a rattle drum from there and shook it in his hand.

"Knock knock".

The white dragon's head immediately tilted to the left.

"So you mean," Chu Sheng shook his head again, "that you can't do anything except dance, sing, and play the rattle drum?"

"Knock knock".

Head tilted to the right.

"Are you really stupid or just pretending?"

"Knock knock knock knock!"

The white dragon opened its mouth and let out a joyful cry, as if to say, "Anyway, you're back, so nothing else matters."

Chu Sheng sighed and stuffed the rattle drum back into his pocket.

"Alright, it's alright if you can't transform." He reached out and patted its nose. "But you have to remember what I just said: become human. That's the only way to break free of your chains."

Bai Long quieted down and gazed at him silently. Then he lowered his head and gently pressed his forehead against Chu Sheng's chest.

Chu Sheng hugged its big head and stroked upwards along the direction of the scales, from the bridge of its nose to the corner of its eye.

The white dragon obediently closed its eyes.

"Wait for me," Chu Sheng said softly. "I will find a way to make you take human form, and then I will take you out to see the grasslands, the sun, and the real sky."

"hold head high."

"You like rhythm, right? I'll take you to hear the Grey Elf lute, the Winged People's wind chimes, and the court orchestra. There are so many things you've never seen before."

"hold head high."

"But now," Chu Sheng withdrew his hand, "you need to open the mine tunnel seal first. My companions are still outside, they must be frantic with worry because they can't find me."

The white dragon opened its eyes, raised its front paws, then stopped, turning its head to look at Chu Sheng: "Roar."

"You're afraid I'll leave and never come back." Chu Sheng took the rattle drum out of his pocket and put it in its front paw.

"Here, take this back," Chu Sheng said. "I have nothing on me, so I can't leave you a keepsake. But I promised I would come back, and I will."

He paused, then laughed: "Maybe next time I come back, I can bring you a band."

The white dragon looked down at the rattle drum in its claws, then raised its head and let out a long, drawn-out dragon roar!

The icicles inside the ice cave vibrated and hummed, and countless ice crystals fell from the dome, refracting thousands of rays of light in mid-air, like a diamond rain.

Then the white dragon raised its front claws and slammed them hard onto the ice!

"Thump!"

The sound of rocks shifting came from deep within the mine.

Chu Sheng turned around, and the narrow passage that had been blocked was reopening.

The ore on the rock wall splits and recombines at a visible speed, and geometric rock blocks recede to both sides layer by layer, revealing the narrow passage.

"Thanks!" Chu Sheng waved to Bai Long. "Remember what I just said, I will definitely come back! Wait for me here, and while you're at it, think about what kind of person you want to become?"

The white dragon clumsily waved its claws at him.

Chu Sheng squeezed into the narrow passage, still able to hear the sounds coming from behind him.

The rhythmic thumping, like a farewell to him, was cheerful.

After walking for about ten minutes, a fork in the road appeared ahead in the mine tunnel. Chu Sheng stopped to determine the direction and carefully recalled how he had been swept here.

If there is airflow on the left, it means that we are closer to the outer side of the mountain.

He walked a short distance along the left side and then heard a sound.

"Chu Sheng!!!"

It's Ella!

Chu Sheng quickened his pace and ran in the direction of the sound. The mine tunnel grew wider and wider, and glowing moss appeared on the rock walls on both sides, turning the tunnel into a ghostly blue light.

He turned a corner and almost collided head-on with something coming from the opposite direction.

"Whoa!!!"

Ella slammed on the brakes and fell to the ground.

"Ella!" Chu Sheng quickly knelt down to help her up. "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Ella's eyes reddened, tears streamed down her face, and she kept sobbing.

Chu Sheng patted her head: "Alright, alright, I'm fine."

"Chu Sheng is missing. Ella has been searching for him for so long—" Ella sobbed. "The mine shafts keep moving, and Ella ran down so many dead ends, every single one of them. Ella thought she would never see Chu Sheng again—"

"I'm back now, aren't I?" Chu Sheng hastily wiped her face with his sleeve, then realized that his sleeve was soaked with her tears and snot, and the more he wiped, the dirtier it got. "Stop crying. Look at you, such a big dog crying like this, aren't you ashamed?"

"She wasn't crying!" Ella immediately bared her teeth. "Ella was just peeing through her eyes!"

"You're amazing, kid." Chu Sheng pulled Ella up. "Where are the others? Ambermind? Mrs. Mira?"

Ella shook her head: "Ella doesn't know either. Everyone got separated, and Ella searched for a long time by herself."

"They should be alright," Chu Sheng said, pulling Ella outside. "Ambermind and Mrs. Mira are both very strong; the living mine won't hold them for long."

"Oh." Ella nodded obediently. "Chu Sheng, where did you go just now?"

"It's a long story," Chu Sheng thought for a moment, "I've made a new friend, and I think we'll get along well."

The mine tunnel ahead suddenly brightened.

"Arthur!" Ella's tail wagged immediately. "It's Arthur's holy light! She's found us!"

Chu Sheng quickened his pace.

Arthur's ability to cast Holy Light indicates that they have already escaped the area where the Living Mine suppresses magic!

After rounding the last bend, the mine tunnel suddenly opened up.

This is a huge underground cavern, with countless stalactites hanging upside down from the dome, and four figures standing in the center of the cavern.

Arthur leaned on the Holy Sword with one hand and held Silverleaf's hand with the other, while Amber and Lady Mira stood on either side.

Chu Sheng knew that if he didn't act quickly, he would be met with endless concern from these women.

How many words of this is fucking ridiculous!

"Hey everyone!" he shouted immediately. "I've made a major discovery!"

"What discovery?" Amber paused, about to step forward to comfort him, and Arthur and Mrs. Mira swallowed their words.

Chu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the women's attention had been successfully diverted.

The decision to take the initiative was indeed the right one.

"The living ore isn't actually a mine," Chu Sheng said, looking up. "It's a byproduct of a dragon's power. It was locked in an ice cave deep within the mine for over a thousand years. The living ore moves because it controls the ore with rhythm."

"A dragon?" Lady Mira's expression immediately turned serious. "How could there be a living dragon in the Tunguska Mountains?"

"Not only is it alive, it can also sing and dance." Chu Sheng recalled Bai Long's silly appearance. "It's locked up, but it's not a big problem. I've already thought of a solution."

"Arthur was right after all!" Silverleaf shouted. "You really are putting on a concert with a dragon!"

Amber walked up to him and reached out to tidy up his hair, which was covered in ice crystals.

Chu Sheng knew he couldn't hide it from Amber's worried eyes. So he briefly recounted the story of the white dragon, omitting the part about the junkyard.

It's not that he doesn't trust them, but there are some things he hasn't figured out yet, and saying them rashly would only cause everyone to worry unnecessarily.
