Chapter 489: 489
Reassured by Xiu’s words, Shen Yanxiao decided not to drag her feet any longer . She drank a bottle of speed potion and dashed it . She wanted to cover as much ground as she could in the shortest time possible . They would accomplish the mission whenever Xiu found the Skeleton Flower .
The Graveyard of the Sun was spacious, so Shen Yanxiao had to run all night long . She had drunk a few bottles of speed potion and mental potion to support her speed .
Time passed by . However, Xiu did not detect any Skeleton Flower around them, which frustrated Shen Yanxiao . Dawn was about to break, but they had not found anything yet . Shen Yanxiao stopped for a short rest, and she sat on a boulder with her hand under her chin, deep in her thoughts .
Was she in the wrong place? Did she miss anything, or perhaps, she had misunderstood Du Lang’s message?
She had covered almost one-third of the Graveyard of the Sun, but she had found nothing . She had not heard back from the Vermilion Bird either .
She had the battle aura and magical power to protect her . However, due to the presence of different elements in such a chaotic place, she did not have enough strength to support the protective shield for long . She could already sense the protection had thinned . Once the shield was gone, the chaotic elements would tear her into dust in a second .
She no longer had ample time to continue her search . She would exhaust her battle aura and magical powers in an hour .
At that moment, Shen Yanxiao wished that she was a priest . A priest could create a more reliable light shield that would allow her to hang out there for ten days to half a month without any worry .
“Xiu, where do Skeleton Flowers usually grow?” Shen Yanxiao no longer wanted to search aimlessly, so she thought she could go through a process of elimination . Otherwise, an hour would not be enough to cover the rest of the area .
“There is nothing special about where the Skeleton Flower would grow . It can grow in any place where gods, demons, humans, elves, and dragons live . The only special requirement for this plant is the deadly aura . The Skeleton Flower does not require the sun nor the rain, just boundless of deadly aura, which is useful for accelerating its growth . The flower can grow wherever there are deaths . ” Xiu told Shen Yanxiao the details that he remembered about the Skeleton Flower .
The Skeleton Flower got its name because they would blossom wherever one would find a pile of skeletons .
Death was their nutrient, and the blood and soul of the dead were their spring .
“Then, Du Lang must have obtained the right information . This was one of the most tragic battlegrounds during the war between the demons and gods . Countless beings from both forces died here . This is a great place to find some Skeleton Flowers . ” Shen Yanxiao rubbed her chin . She was confident that Du Lang had been right about his theory .
“The place with the thickest deadly aura in a battlefield must have been where most of them died . The Skeleton Flower should be there!” It seemed as if Shen Yanxiao was inspired with a new idea . She squinted as she tried to picture the battle from tens of millions of years ago .
The army from the dragon race would have advanced into the Temple of the Sun . The God of the Sun must have guarded the temple at that time, and he must have led the humans in a fight against the demons . Blood and death had comprised an immortal battle hymn, and it echoed across the land of former glory .
“Where the God of the Sun perished…” Shen Yanxiao pursed her lips as a glint of hope flashed in her mind .
“Right! That must be it!”
