Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 202 Valley within the Valley

"Come down." Shi Quan let out a long breath. Because of the Holy Dragon Eight Spears, the desolate atmosphere around him had a significant impact on him.

The feeling of looking at those keels from above the valley is completely different from looking from inside the valley.

Only upon entering the valley can one truly appreciate the sheer scale and power of the numerous dragon skeletons. Each skeleton is enormous, ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of meters tall. All of these skeletons emanate faint, shimmering energy fluctuations.

"There's no dragon soul in this dragon tomb," Ye Lingling said in surprise after looking around.

Shi Quan slowly walked up to one of the dragon skeletons and said gently, "Because it's not needed here at all."

"Xiao Quan, what do you mean by that?" The three women looked at Shi Quan with suspicion.

"Because these dragon bones contain the lingering resentment of these dragons after their deaths, and this resentment carries the terrifying pressure that once surrounded the dragons. If an ordinary person were to arrive here by chance, they would probably be suppressed and killed by this oppressive aura," Shi Quan said, looking at the faint patterns on the dragon bones in front of him.

"Then why don't we feel anything?" Dugu Yan asked in confusion.

Ye Lingling seemed to have thought of something and slowly said, "Is it because of absorbing the power of the dragon soul that one possesses dragon blood?"

"Hmm." Shi Quan nodded. "After the Dragon Cloud Nourished your bodies, I also gave you the power of nine true dragon souls. Your physiques are already beyond what ordinary people can compare to. In addition, there is the thin dragon bloodline in your bodies, so these pressures will not pose a threat to you."

"Doesn't that mean this dragon tomb poses no threat to us?" Dugu Yan said excitedly, her eyes shining as she looked at the dragon bones around her.

"That's a good idea!" Shi Quan chuckled and shook his head. "This is only the outer perimeter of the Dragon Tomb. The pressure inside is definitely stronger. At most, you won't be affected by the outer pressure, but if you go deeper, you will definitely be affected by it. Moreover..."

Shi Quan's gaze fell on the dragon bones. "...If you attempt to take the true dragon soul bone from the dragon bones, the obsession within them will definitely erupt and attack you."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan immediately wore a bitter expression.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the dragon bones with a solemn expression and said, "How exactly was this dragon tomb formed? You must know that on the Douluo Continent, even sub-dragon level soul beasts are extremely rare, and true dragon level soul beasts are unheard of. How could there be so many true dragon corpses in this dragon tomb?"

"That's right." Ye Lingling nodded and said, "The weakest of these true dragons are probably comparable to a Title Douluo, not to mention those deepest inside. Their strength is likely beyond our imagination. Why did they all perish here?"

"Why don't you feel it and you'll know?" Shi Quan raised his hand and slowly placed it on the dragon bone in front of him.

A desolate aura instantly enveloped Shi Quan. He seemed to hear the dragon's mournful cry before its death, and an aura of resentment and anger continuously assaulted Shi Quan's mind.

Just a moment later, Shi Quan withdrew his hand and let out a long breath.

The obsession within this dragon bone was too deep. His dragon bloodline came from the Sacred Dragon Spear, the soul bone behind him. He couldn't sense the obsession within it too deeply, but Shi Quan could clearly feel the resentment and sorrow within it.

Shi Quan said slowly, "You can try touching the dragon bones, but remember not to touch them for too long."

The three women were fine until they tried it, and their eyes welled up with tears again.

"Waaah, I'm so sad. I don't know why, but I just feel so sorry for these dragons." Large tears kept streaming down the three girls' faces.

Shi Quan quickly stepped forward to comfort him, "It's alright, it's alright, it's alright."

After a long while, the three women finally recovered. This was partly due to their own emotions, but mostly due to the influence of the surrounding dragon bones.

"Alright, let's keep going and see what else is inside the Dragon Tomb." Shi Quan didn't dare let the three women try anything rashly, so he could only lead them deeper into the Dragon Tomb.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding dragon bones grew increasingly thicker, increasing from a hundred meters at the beginning to enormous skeletons several hundred meters long.

Just one glance was enough to give the four of them a sense of oppression.

Not to mention the ever-increasing pressure from all around, Shi Quan was fine, but the three women felt as if they were carrying a huge boulder weighing ten thousand pounds.

"Xiao Quan, I'm almost at my limit." Ye Lingling stopped, her legs trembling.

"Me too."

Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing also spoke, panting heavily.

The terrifying pressure from all around made it hard for them to breathe, and in the distance was an enormous skeleton.

The skeleton was over a thousand meters tall and was brownish-brown, unlike any other dragon skeleton. Although they were thousands of meters away, they could still clearly feel the unparalleled heavy aura emanating from it.

If they got any closer, they would probably be crushed by the heavy aura emanating from the skeleton.

"Okay." Shi Quan nodded and said, "Then I'll go the rest of the way by myself. You guys go back first. It might take me a long time to get down there. Wait for me to come back."

After thinking for a moment, Shi Quan continued, "We have absorbed so much dragon soul power on this trip, so we are indebted to these dragon ancestors. When you return, use tools to dig some pits and bury these dragon remains in peace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Quan's voice rang in the three women's minds again, "I know you are wondering why we are doing this thankless task. The true dragons here have their own consciousness. If you can help them be laid to rest, perhaps they will give you their true dragon soul bones as a token of their gratitude."

"Remember to be sincere and genuine throughout the process, and do not show any greed. When burying the soul bones, do not damage the integrity of the dragon bones. Each piece needs to be pieced together perfectly before burial. Do not be impatient."

Shi Quan used his spiritual sense to transmit his remaining words, which the surrounding dragon clan's obsession could not detect.

The three women paused for a moment, then answered in unison, "Okay!"

Shi Quan made the three women do this because he was inspired by Tang Wulin's actions in Douluo Continent III.

After bidding farewell to the three women, Shi Quan turned and walked towards the giant skeleton in the distance.

"Is this the Mountain Dragon King?" Shi Quan stepped forward. Although he was still thousands of meters away from the Mountain Dragon King's remains, the gravity here was obviously much stronger than in other places.

The oppressive atmosphere made even Shi Quan pause for a moment before he lifted his foot to continue forward.

The mountain dragon king's bones have no wings, and his body is extremely thick, especially his limbs, which are as thick as pillars supporting the sky.

Shi Quan could clearly sense that the aura emanating from the Mountain Dragon King's bones was stronger than that of the sacred dragon bloodline behind him.

The Mountain Dragon King has a special status. Unlike other true dragon lineages that only have one Dragon King, all members of the Mountain Dragon lineage can obtain the title of Dragon King upon reaching adulthood. However, once a Mountain Dragon reaches adulthood, it will transform into mountains and continents to provide for the reproduction and survival of other dragon races.

In other words, once a mountain dragon is made king, it will die.

"This mountain range of Dragon Valley must be the transformation of the Mountain Dragon King before his death, right?" Feeling the energy fluctuations emanating from the Mountain Dragon King's massive body, the thick and heavy aura made Shi Quan a little breathless.

Upon closer inspection, Shi Quan noticed a massive crack running from head to tail in the center of the Mountain Dragon King's enormous skeleton. In other words, its massive body appeared to have been cleaved in two by a sharp weapon.

"Was it Shura who cut it?" Shi Quan wondered, as he circled around the dragon bone from the side. He didn't have the bloodline of the Dragon God, and he dared not touch the remains of a powerful being like the Mountain Dragon King.

After bypassing the remains of the Mountain Dragon King, Shi Quan finally arrived at his ultimate destination, the Valley within a Valley.

The ground behind the Mountain Dragon King collapsed downwards, revealing a huge pit with a diameter of over 10,000 meters.

When Shi Quan reached the edge of the deep pit, a feeling of awe and reverence emanated from the Sacred Dragon Eight Spears behind him.

Shi Quan looked up into the valley, which was a thousand meters deep. Inside, a huge, shimmering light seemed to exist, displaying seven colors and resembling mist. This made it impossible to truly see what was inside the valley.

He knew what lay hidden beneath the mist: the Dragon God's soul and the Dragon God's heart!

If I remember correctly, the Heart of the Dragon God is a super artifact. Shi Quan was naturally aware of the dangers below, but with such a treasure right in front of him, it was impossible to give up without even trying.

"Hoo." After taking a deep breath, Shi Quan's Holy Dragon Eight Spears pierced into the cliff of the valley.

This time, he dared not jump down directly like before.

The colorful mist above the valley gave him a very dangerous feeling, so he decided to walk deeper into the valley step by step, as that would be safer.

His figure slowly moved forward, the seven-colored mist was close at hand. The closer he got, the more obvious the terrifying pressure became. The eight holy dragon spears behind Shi Quan trembled uncontrollably at this moment.

After pulling the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan from behind, he took Xiaomeng and Shouhe into his sea of ​​consciousness, took a deep breath, adjusted himself to his best condition, and then thrust the Dragon Spear toward the mountain wall in the mist. Shi Quan's figure also disappeared into the colorful mist.

boom!

Shi Quan felt as if something had exploded in his head, and a terrifying pressure swept into his consciousness like a giant wave, as if it would tear his soul apart.

The previous pressure was only directed at the body, but the pressure within this seven-colored mist not only targeted the body, but also generated an extremely terrifying pressure on Shi Quan's soul.

"Quan, calm your mind!" Xiaomeng's voice came from Shi Quan's mind. A silver light bloomed in Shi Quan's sea of ​​consciousness, and a powerful spiritual force erupted, constantly resisting the sweeping pressure.

"Boss, don't worry, we're here!" Shukaku's voice also came, and the earthy yellow aura swept through the sea of ​​consciousness, instantly making the originally trembling sea of ​​consciousness extremely stable.

Xiaomeng was responsible for resisting the impact, while Shouhe was responsible for stabilizing the sea of ​​consciousness; their roles were clearly defined.
