Chapter 43: Sword Dragon
The two of them continued walking in the dark passageway, step by step, and before they knew it, an entire hour had passed.
It's been an hour and still haven't arrived at the destination?
Just as Lin Yun was about to ask, a bright light suddenly shot out from the distant secret passage, and Linglong's face immediately lit up with joy, saying: "Hurry up, we've arrived at our destination."
Have you arrived? Upon hearing that they had finally arrived, Lin Yun's face also lit up with joy, and he quickened his pace. The two of them rapidly headed towards the bright area ahead. Behind the secret passage was an even more enormous cave, with a height of over a thousand meters. The massive cave was filled with white rocks everywhere, as well as white water droplets continuously dripping down from the top of the mountain.
Neither Lin Yun nor Ling Long had any intention of searching for the Life and Death Seal at this moment, as both of their eyes were fixed on what was in front of them, unblinking, with faces filled with incredulity.
"What's this thing?"
"It seems like a dragon."
Yes, in the cave in front of them, there was a giant dragon lying on the ground, snoring loudly. Its head resembled an ox, its horns were like deer antlers, its eyes were like shrimp, its ears were like elephants, its neck was like a snake, its belly was like a snake, its scales were like fish, its claws were like phoenixes, and its palms were like tigers. On its back, there were sword-like protrusions, and the entire body of the giant dragon had only one color - dark red, emitting a faint glow that gave people a strong yet eerie feeling.
Looking at the giant dragon lying on the ground and sleeping soundly in front of him, Lin Yun swallowed hard and rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if he still couldn't believe that the massive creature in front of him was a giant dragon.
The giant dragon, in his world, was simply an illusion, a divine beast imagined by the Chinese nation. From small to large, he had heard countless legends about giant dragons, but had never seen a real one. But now? He actually saw the legendary giant dragon in another world.
"Linglong, you're certain you didn't know there was a giant dragon here before?"
Jiulong, undoubtedly a powerful synonym, but he was just an innate martial artist. When encountering the legendary Jiulong, there is only one dead end, let alone now that he is preparing to enter the mountain cave to seize the life and death seal. Is this possible? Will Jiulong agree with himself?
"Of course, I didn't know. If I had known there was a giant dragon here, I wouldn't have come in even if you killed me. What the... how could a giant dragon appear here?" Linglong seemed to be somewhat disbelieving as well, staring at the giant dragon sleeping on the ground in front of her, and suddenly said: "This giant dragon seems to be the legendary Sword Dragon."
Dragon Sword?
"Linglong, what kind of monster is Sword Dragon?"
"Jiàn Lóng, the legendary strongest existence of the dragon tribe. Even the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and the Black Dragon are no match for Jiàn Lóng's power. Jiàn Lóng is a one-of-a-kind existence, unless a new generation of Jiàn Lóng is born, there will only be one Jiàn Lóng in the entire world."
Jiānlóng, the strongest existence of the dragon clan. Just this point alone is enough to make Lin Yun wonder whether his luck was good or bad after seeing the legendary giant dragon.
"Lin Yun, shall we continue going in?"
As for the meaning of Linglong's words, Lin Yun naturally knew that without the giant dragon, they would have entered the mountain cave to obtain the Seal of Life and Death with 100% certainty. However, the current situation was completely different. Inside the mountain cave, a sword dragon was sleeping soundly. What if they entered and woke up the sword dragon?
Is it just because there is a sword dragon sleeping inside the cave that you won't enter?
If they didn't enter the cave, then wanting to obtain the Seal of Life and Death would be a mere fantasy. Having finally found the Seal of Life and Death, how could he give up so easily? He glared fiercely at the giant dragon in front of him, which was sleeping soundly, and Lin Yun's face set in determination as he said: "We must go in, no matter what. As long as we don't wake it up, that's all."
"Alright, since you've made up your mind, let's go in."
Wave his hand, stopped Ling, Lingyun said: "You wait here for me, I'll go alone."
"That's not possible, I'm not a person who doesn't mean well. Moreover, one more person means one more share of power, and who knows, maybe someday I can even help you," The youth didn't let him in, but Linglong naturally knew what he meant, and it was precisely because of this that a hint of something unusual flashed through her eyes.
Not giving Lin Yun any chance to speak, Ling Long carefully stepped into the cave, step by step cautiously making her way deeper into the cave. Seeing that Ling Long had already entered the cave, Lin Yun was shocked and feared that she would wake up the Sword Dragon, which would make it impossible to find the Life and Death Seal.
Without any hesitation, he hastily rushed towards the cave, grabbed Linglong who was still walking, and let out a sigh. Then, he carefully led Linglong around the Sword Dragon and headed towards the surroundings of the cave.
Although the body of the sword dragon was very large, it seemed to be nothing compared to the entire cave. Wanting to find a small life-and-death seal in such a large cave wasn't an easy task either.
"Lin Yun, don't worry, the giant dragon likes to sleep a lot. Unless there's some special noise, even if you go and kick it hard, it might not react."
"Really?!" He seemed completely incredulous, as if to say "Are you kidding me? Is a giant dragon just a pig?"
"Believe it or not, if you don't believe me, you can go kick the sword dragon in front of you and see if I'm right."
Kick the giant dragon with one foot? Unless he's out of his mind, it's better for the giant dragon not to wake up, or else he'll have enough time to find the Seal of Life and Death. He doesn't want the giant dragon to be awakened by his own kick, that would be a real disaster. Lin Yun said calmly, "I trust you, our top priority now is to find the Seal of Life and Death, OK?"
OK? I couldn't understand Lin Yun's international language at all, but Ling also knew that the most important thing at this moment was to find the Seal of Life and Death. Since the giant dragon wouldn't wake up for a while, the two finally decided to split up and search separately, which would increase their search range.
Two people, one to the left and one to the right, Linglong went left, Lin Yun went right, heading towards both sides of the giant dragon. From head to toe, the sword dragon lying on the ground was still fast asleep, snoring loudly, with each snore echoing throughout the entire cave, making it seem like the whole cave would tremble slightly with every snore.
A huge cave, the two of them searched high and low but couldn't find any trace of the Life-and-Death Seal. They circled around once, and when they reunited again, there was still no clue to be found.
Two people sat on a white stone, listening to the distant dragon's snoring sound and the continuous dripping of white water droplets from the top of the cave behind them. Lin Yun asked: "Linglong, are you sure that the Life-and-Death Seal is here?"
"Of course, I can guarantee with my personal integrity that it is indeed hidden somewhere, but as for where the Seal of Life and Death is exactly, that's something nobody knows."
"We've searched all the caves and still can't find the Seal of Life and Death. If we continue, once the Golden Dragon wakes up, we'll be in trouble."
"Alright, don't worry about the Seal of Life and Death for now. I'm telling you, these white water droplets behind us are transformed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nurtured over countless years. As long as we ingest these white water droplets, our cultivation will definitely see a huge improvement."
Oh?
When Lin Yun heard this, he was slightly surprised. White water droplets? Born from the heaven and earth spiritual energy? More importantly, as long as he took the white water droplets, his cultivation would be enhanced. This was such a good thing, he definitely had to give it a try.
It's worth noting that the last time he went to Master's small building, relying on Master's released pressure, he broke through two levels in a row. From the beginning of the primary martial artist, he was directly promoted to the advanced martial artist. Under normal circumstances, if he wants to break through from an advanced martial artist to become a peak martial artist, it will take at least several months. If he has the help of the white dewdrop, maybe this time can be greatly shortened.
Turning around to look at the white droplets behind him, Lin Yun discovered that in the four directions of east, south, west and north around the cave, there was a hexagonal concave giant stone, and from the top of the mountain, white droplets continuously dripped down, accurately dripping into the hexagonal concave giant stone, just like a large bowl with a bowl of water inside.
In the southeast, west, and north, there were four passageways, each with a six-sided recessed boulder. All of them were filled to the brim with white droplets of water. If he were to consume all these water droplets, wouldn't his cultivation directly break through the mortal realm?
Just as he was looking at the white droplet in front of him, thinking it was beautiful, Linglong kicked him hard and said: "Don't think it's that great, after taking the white droplet, your cultivation can be improved by at most one level, no matter how many white droplets you take, it's all the same."
Shrimp? Can only upgrade one rank? Lin Yun was thoroughly depressed, he thought that as long as he consumed all the white droplets here, his cultivation would infinitely increase, even breaking through to the Transcendent realm. But it's just one boundary after another, consuming the white droplets and breaking through one rank, his cultivation officially advanced from high-level warrior to peak warrior, only one step away from becoming a Pre-Heavenly Warrior.
"But you don't need to be discouraged, these white water droplets can only make your cultivation breakthrough one level, but once you take them, they will have countless benefits for your future cultivation, understand?"
"What's the benefit of that?"
"This I'm actually not sure about either, you try it and you'll know."
"Since you've seen it, I'd feel embarrassed using it alone. How about we split these white drops in half and each take one?"
"I found that you, a big man, are always dawdling, I don't need this, you can just enjoy it yourself," Linglong said, walking to the side and sitting on a boulder, not speaking, with her eyes tightly closed, it's unclear whether she was sleeping or cultivating.
Looking at Linglong sitting in front of him, Lin Yun shook his head helplessly and didn't force the issue, preparing to start taking these so-called heavenly treasures.
