The thick fog in Dragon Valley surged, and the Dragon Might pressed down like a physical weight, yet it quietly receded the moment it touched Arthur and the other two, as if wary of something.
Gu Yue walked at the forefront, her clear, cold eyes sweeping over the colorful clouds surging around them. After glancing back at Na'er,
her finger moved slightly, and a wisp of silver light formed a Binding around them. The clouds, imbued with elemental power, obediently parted, not daring to approach even an inch.
These clouds were a manifestation of the Dragon Souls within Dragon Valley, capable of enhancing elemental affinity, Spiritual Power, and physical strength.
But in reality, they were useless to the three of them.
Gu Yue and Naer, needless to say.
As for Arthur, his elemental affinity had always been maxed. His Spiritual Power was already at the Spirit Abyss Realm, and his physical strength was at the Golden Body Realm.
It's not that these clouds were completely useless for his improvement, but rather, they would be a waste of time.
He might as well just breathe more air.
"My Soul Power is suppressed," Arthur murmured softly. Just as he was about to step forward to follow, Na'er clung even tighter to his arm.
The girl's soft body was practically pressed against him: "Brother Arthur, it's so scary here. You have to protect me."
Saying that, she deliberately rubbed against Arthur's embrace, her nose brushing his neck.
Arthur skillfully pushed her away a little: "Stop messing around."
"I'm really scared," Na'er blinked her watery eyes, but her gaze was full of cunning. She even took the opportunity to secretly lick Arthur's palm.
What a hooligan.
Gu Yue's steps paused slightly ahead. She glanced back at the two, her eyes clear and cold: "Stop dawdling, keep up."
"We're here for serious business, not to flirt."
Na'er's little face fell. She stuck out her tongue and stopped fooling around, but still refused to let go of Arthur's arm.
Arthur coughed twice, changing the subject: "Speaking of which, will the Dragon Souls in this Dragon Valley attack us?"
"No," Gu Yue said indifferently, her steps unwavering, "My Martial Soul actually belongs to the Dragon type."
"Na'er's and my Martial Souls are considered quite pure in Dragon Clan bloodline. With us here, these Dragons wouldn't dare approach."
Quite pure?
Too modest, Lord Silver Dragon King.
Arthur's gaze swept over Gu Yue and Naer, a half-smile on his face: "No wonder you two walk around here like you're strolling in your own backyard. So you've come home to visit your parents."
Na'er immediately nodded vigorously, her head still rubbing against his arm: "Exactly, exactly! Brother Arthur, with us, no one will dare to bully you!"
Arthur: "Just now you said you were scared."
"Uh." Na'er got stuck... Following behind Gu Yue, the three delved deeper into the thick fog. The surrounding temperature gradually rose, and faint Dragon roars could be heard echoing from deep within the mist.
Suddenly, the fog ahead abruptly dispersed, revealing a valley filled with Dragon bones.
The Dragon bones varied in size; some were as small as mountains, while others spanned the entire valley. The Dragon Might was awe-inspiring; even as mere white bones, they still exuded an Aura of looking down upon the world.
"So many Dragon bones..." Arthur drooled as he watched: "You... huh?"
Instantly, Arthur fell silent.
Gu Yue, who had been clear and cold, and Na'er, who had been lively.
At this moment, their emotions were low, and their expressions were undeniably sorrowful.
Standing on the edge of the valley and looking down, the bottom of the thousands-of-meters-deep abyss was densely covered with massive skeletons, filling every inch of land.
Passionate and mournful Dragon roars emanated from them, the sound waves echoing repeatedly through the valley.
Arthur was greatly alarmed, watching the changes in Na'er and Gu Yue's eyes, two pairs of Dragon pupils, one gold and one silver.
From deep within the secluded valley, faint Dragon roars responded, like weeping and lamenting, carrying endless sorrow.
The entire atmosphere became oppressive.
Except for Arthur.
There was nothing he could do; he couldn't empathize.
Scratching his head, Arthur, feeling out of place, lowered his head slightly.
He stopped looking at those Dragon bones.
He was afraid that the two Dragon Kings, in their profound grief, would 'righteously eliminate their kin' and use him for entertainment.
Arthur shrunk his neck, simply took half a step back, keeping his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, pretending to be an emotionless stone.
The Dragon roars in the valley still echoed. Silver light flowed around Gu Yue, and an unresolvable sorrow surged in her silver Dragon pupils. She slowly raised her hand, her fingertips brushing the Void Realm, as if caressing the already cold Dragon bones.
Na'er's hand, which had been clinging to Arthur's arm, had also let go at some point.
"Let's keep going." Gu Yue was the first to jump down.
The three landed at the bottom of the valley.
A desolate and ancient Aura instantly surged from all directions, almost freezing one's mind.
As far as the eye could see, there were probably no less than a thousand true Dragons that had fallen here. Their skeletons were exposed in the wilderness, without even a proper tomb.
Mysterious patterns faintly flowed on the Dragon bones, and terrifying energy fluctuations still lingered in the air. Even the remaining skeletons were like dormant giant beasts.
The deeper they went into the valley, the slower Gu Yue's steps became.
She reached out her hand, her fingertips gently brushing over each cold Dragon bone. In her silver-gray eyes, tiny tears quietly shimmered.
The deeper they went, the more massive and majestic the surrounding Dragon bones became. Layers upon layers of skeletons piled up like mountains, resembling silent hills, quietly narrating the past glory and sorrow of the Dragon Clan.
Na'er was much better. She had grown up as a human since her birth, and her true age was only in her teens.
Her connection to the Dragon Clan was less heavy.
She glanced at Arthur, who was playing dead beside her, and quietly leaned over, her small hand again trying to entwine his arm, but Arthur vigilantly dodged her.
Arthur shrunk his neck, his eyes unfocused, pretending not to see Na'er's pouting lips.
Just kidding, these two Dragon Kings were in a sensitive emotional period, and he didn't want to run into trouble.
Gu Yue didn't look back. As she brushed past a thick Dragon spine, the mysterious patterns on the bone suddenly lit up.
A faint illusory Dragon Soul drifted out from the bone cracks, circled in front of her for a moment, let out a low whimper, and then dissipated into specks of fluorescent light.
"These Dragon Souls are still guarding this graveyard." Gu Yue's voice was slightly hoarse, and the sorrow in her silver pupils deepened, "They are all waiting, waiting for the Dragon God to return."
The childishness on Na'er's face faded a bit, and a complex light flickered in her golden pupils. She said softly: "They will, they definitely will."
Arthur listened from the side, feeling strange in his heart.
He remembered that the Dragon God was only pretending to be dead and had just shut himself off.
He secretly glanced at the surrounding Dragon bones; each one contained terrifying energy fluctuations, but they were not easy to take.
This thought had just emerged when he quickly suppressed it.
Looking at Gu Yue and Naer's expressions, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to have any crooked thoughts now.
Just then, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the valley. A Dragon Might, more powerful than any before, erupted, shaking the surging fog and trembling the skeletons.
Gu Yue and Naer simultaneously looked up, their gazes sharp as they stared towards the heart of the valley, a golden and a silver light flickering in their eyes.
"It's the Dragon God's remains!"
