A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 275 The Dragon

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, the evil one suddenly shouted, "Boy, look...it's a dragon!"

"dragon?"

Su Haijun was startled. He looked up abruptly and was immediately stunned. The sky and the earth seemed to have suddenly fallen silent.

Before the altar, a huge storm had appeared out of nowhere. The storm, obscured by rolling sand and dust, slowly parted to the sides, revealing a sliver of the truth hidden behind the sand and dust.

A ghastly, massive, white skeleton lay there, and a colossal dragon, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, with a body tens of thousands of feet long, emanated a terrifying aura reminiscent of the primordial era when Pangu created the world, emanating from that enormous, pale white skeleton.

However, although the dragon seemed to be dead, the moment the sandstorm cleared, a terrifying and unstoppable force descended from the sky and landed on the altar, specifically on the golden pill in his hand. This caused Su Haijun to feel as if he had been struck by lightning, and his legs almost gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

The scene was truly terrifying. Beneath the body of such a colossal dragon, Su Haijun felt utterly insignificant, his legs trembling slightly. He gasped for breath, barely managing to calm himself and regain his composure, but he still couldn't help but...

Zhu Qu wondered, "Could there really have been legendary dragons in this world?"

The golden egg was held quietly in his hand, motionless. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. Just as he was about to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, suddenly, in the far distance, on the head of the giant dragon that had been petrified for countless years, the huge dragon eyes that had been closed for millions of years suddenly opened!

"boom!"

The altar on the flat ground shattered instantly, and all the jade stones were crushed into powder like tofu. However, immediately after the altar shattered, countless cracks appeared on the entire ground. It was an overwhelming and destructive force that was almost impossible for human beings to resist.

The huge, solid hillside collapsed instantly, creating a massive crater in the ground, with all the clods of earth and boulders falling downwards.

In this life-or-death moment, Su Haijun had already reacted. The instant the dragon opened its eyes, he vanished from the altar. Unfortunately, the moment his feet touched the ground, an extremely powerful pulling force instantly dragged him into the huge pit.

Above the sky, the light in the terrifying dragon's eyes slowly faded, gradually losing its luster. But for some reason, the dragon had undergone a slight change. Within its eyes, a faint light flickered incessantly, like a firefly in the night, its brightness uncertain.

Su Haijun once again felt that helpless feeling of weightlessness. Under this powerful pull, he had all the skills he needed but had nowhere to use them, and could only panic as he was in free fall.

In a panic, he quickly unleashed his inner energy to protect himself as much as possible, hoping not to be shattered to pieces upon landing.

After an unknown amount of time, a loud "thud" was heard, and Su Haijun landed heavily on the ground. Before he could react, he had already lost consciousness.

It's unclear how much time passed, but Su Haijun woke up.

"hiss!"

He felt as if his whole body had fallen apart, aching all over, and he couldn't help but groan. Then, he burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha... I'm not dead, I'm still alive, I'm still alive..."

Yes, he was lucky; he didn't die from the fall, he's still alive.

It's such a lucky thing to find out you're not dead.

After his initial surprise, he began to take in his surroundings. The first thing that caught his eye was the light, but to his astonishment, the sky was filled with countless colorful stars, like a giant, spread-out net.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that these were not stars, but rather dazzling gems.

Shocked, he quickly tried to sit up, only to find that he was surrounded by an incredibly powerful and terrifying aura. This terrifying aura made him feel a sense of worship, just like a lowly commoner paying homage to the emperor.

He frowned, and with all his might, he managed to sit up, only to find himself in a vast cave. The entire cave was covered with gems of various colors and sizes, some as large as a fist, others as small as a pearl. Each gem radiated its own inherent light, blending together to create a dazzling, multicolored world.

Su Haijun looked around in shock, and it took him a long time to react before he laughed evilly and said, "Hahahaha, I know, I know."

He frowned and asked, "Senior, what do you know?"

"Kid, you're in luck. Do you know where you are?"

Su Haijun shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Hahaha, I'm telling you, this is a dragon's lair."

"A dragon's lair?" Su Haijun was genuinely surprised.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the owner of this dragon's lair should be the dragon skeleton you saw before."

"what?"

Su Haijun exclaimed in surprise, feeling that he had never done so many amazing things in his entire life.

"Have you noticed that the aura here is exactly the same as the aura we felt when the altar collapsed? Do you know what this aura is?"

"do not know."

"Hehe, this is dragon's breath. Although that dragon is dead, it lived here when it was alive, so its aura still exists."

As they were talking, the golden egg in Su Haijun's hand suddenly began to tremble. Startled, Su Haijun quickly looked at the egg and was shocked to discover that the incredibly powerful aura emanating from him had poured entirely into the golden egg. In a short while, the egg stopped trembling, and the aura in the cave disappeared. However, the golden light emanating from the egg was noticeably stronger than before.

"Ok?"

He gasped in surprise, countless thoughts flashing through his mind, before suddenly exclaiming with delight, "Senior, could this golden egg be...?"

"Inner alchemy."

The two of them spoke at the same time, saying the name of the golden egg.

Indeed, this is the inner core of that dead dragon, also known as the dragon core.

"Hehe, kid, looks like your luck is extraordinary! Do you know what this inner core means... um?"

Before he could finish his evil words, Su Haijun eagerly swallowed the dragon pill in his hand. Yes, he swallowed such a large dragon pill in one gulp.
