Chapter 410: Skeleton Dragon!
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Savaged and brutalized by countless kinds of magical equipment, the underground world was wreathed in undying smoke . The temperature hundreds of degrees high vaporized a huge amount of lake water, raising clusters of silver mist above the lake .
The strange beast inside the lake was squeaking angrily . Water pillars rose up and hit the crags . A lot of rocks were falling down . For a moment, the ground was trembling as if an earthquake was occurring .
Li Yao and his teammates moved as quickly as they could as they dashed into a new crevice . The roars of the strange beast didn't die down until they were thousands of meters away from the silver lake .
"It's great that Vulture was fast enough to finish the collection of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures before the strange beast inside the lake revealed its true self!
"It's possible that the beast was seriously wounded or was shackled by some kind of barrier . That's why it didn't float up to fight us in the first place . Now that it has been irked and decided to swim up by force, it must've paid a terrible price . Our bombardment in the end only added to its injuries . If we come back the same way, we may even be able to try hunting it down!"
Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of immeasurable worth had been secured . The six of them were all very excited .
"Team Tiger Deity has left another telepathic thought ball!"
Their crystal processors picked up traces of a faint telepathic thought at the same time . According to the map, it was from an inconspicuous gap about four kilometers ahead of them .
They were all refreshed . Li Yao performed some quick maintenance on everyone's crystal suits and replaced the plate armor that had been too seriously corroded . Then the team marched forward to the source of the telepathic thought .
Half an hour later, they found themselves in a shabby cave that was devoid of any light .
After scanning with mystic rays and telepathic thoughts, they discovered a skeleton at the end of the cave . It was two meters tall, with bright gold bones . Complicated round stripes could be seen on its arms .
"A body practitioner!"
Ding Lingdang was greatly interested . "Spiritual tattoos into the bones, bright gold body . This is a very advanced body practitioner . It must be no lower than the middle level of the Core Formation Stage . How did it end up in this place? Why did Team Tiger Deity not bury it when they found it?"
Li Yao took a step forward and scanned the skeleton with mystic rays inch by inch . Soft cloths were scattering around the bright gold skeleton, which appeared to be some sort of protective clothing like a mustard suit . But the passage of time had rendered them ragged beyond recognition .
From one of the scraps of cloth, a small part of 'Red Dragon Swallowing the Sun', the emblem of the Star Ocean Imperium, could be distinguished .
It seemed that this was a Cultivator from the Star Ocean Imperium .
Li Yao withdrew his gaze and pondered for a while . Then he realized why Team Blue Bronze had left the skeleton in the open air .
If the skeleton used to be a Cultivator of the Star Ocean Imperium, it meant that the dead body had been decaying in this place for more than seven thousand years . Core Formation Stage Cultivators had not reached the level of immortality . Even body practitioners who boasted amazing physical strength and body hardness would rot soon after they died .
The skeleton in this place was already on the verge of dismemberment . With any foreign force, it would definitely crumble into powder . There was no way to absorb it into a Cosmos Ring .
In a corner of the cave, Team Tiger Deity had left the second telepathic thought ball .
The information contained in this ball was ten times more detailed than the previous one .
As it turned out, there had been a lot of magical equipment that was not entirely putrid near the dead body of the Cultivator of the Star Ocean Imperium, including several jade chips . Team Tiger Deity had taken away all the functional items .
But before they left, experts of Team Tiger Deity had decrypted the barrier of the jade chips and translated a lot of information contained inside .
The Star Glory Federation was a succession of the Star Ocean Imperium . Although thousands of years had passed, their languages, cultures, and social forms were very similar .
Team Tiger Deity had a rarely-seen hybrid-type Cultivator talented in both battle and research . Besides an Orb Patroller, he was also an anthropologist who specialized in the history of the Star Ocean Imperium, especially the barriers and encryption systems of the army at that time .
A huge amount of information that he decrypted flooded into the crystal processors of Team Blue Bronze .
The key words of the information stunned each and every one of them .
"What? The real name of Ultimacy is 'Boneyard', the residence of Skeleton Dragon who was one of the nineteen strongest demons in the early years of the Great Dark Age?"
The six of them were truly shocked .
"Skeleton Dragon?"
"Search your crystal processors and your own brain and share all the information you find regarding Skeleton Dragon!" ordered Captain Hong Tong hurriedly .
Early years of the Great Dark Age meant almost forty thousand years ago . It was too far away from right now . Most of the files had been lost in the sea of stars as time went by . Most of them had buried the information deep inside their brains even if they had read any books concerning it, and they definitely wouldn't waste their precious computational ability recalling it every once in a while .
Everyone tried their best to dig out their memories . Finally, they found a thing or two about the monster . Together with the information provided by Team Tiger Deity, they had a basic understanding about what Skeleton Dragon was now .
In the early years of the Great Dark Age, or rather, the twilight of the Ancient Cultivation Civilization, Cultivators had bred billions of demon beasts to attack one another .
