"There's a dragon skeleton outside." Banchagana knew that he could no longer hide it, so he told the truth.
"Dragon skeleton?" Salin knew that the dragon skeleton was the remains of a giant dragon. However, the depth of the sea was more than two thousand meters, which was two miles. The pressure was huge, and the seawater was highly corrosive. The dragon skeleton would become extremely fragile after being in the sea for more than a hundred years. This was not the plane of the Giant Dragons. Giant Dragons had nowhere to go before they died. Their Dragon Crystals would be devoured by powerful magical beasts.
Magical beasts that devoured dragon crystals would generally explode and die, and a small number of them would mutate. Regardless of the situation, as long as this dragon skeleton was older than ten years, its quality would fall to that of an ordinary demonic beast. If it was older than fifty years, there was no need to collect it anymore. If it was older than a hundred years, even its horns would be corroded away.
In a place like this where magical beasts of the eighth and ninth level were everywhere, it wasn't strange for dragon skeletons to appear. In the past, after humans captured the dragons and brought them to the Myers Continent's plane, they didn't control them too much. The dragons' flying ability was good, and they could survive in any harsh environment. The Frozen Sea was not a dangerous place for dragons, but it was rich in food.
But after a dragon died, because there was no special hiding place, its bones would still become snacks of other magical beasts. This was the Myers Continent. Although dragons were at the top of the food chain, they still had no so-called dignity after death.
However, the situation in front of him was a little strange. Salin observed carefully. The crack on Banchagana's forehead wasn't serious, but considering that Banchagana's skull was harder than a magic core, this attack was very powerful. If it was the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship, it would have been cut more than a foot deep.
"Could it be that the dragon's soul hasn't dissipated?" Salin had only asked casually, and sure enough, Banchagana shook his head. If the dragon's soul hadn't dissipated, he would have been exceptionally careful. As an undead, he was extremely sensitive to souls, especially powerful souls.
"Bing, don't go near. Let Gu Ling check it out." Salin said cautiously. There were no magical beasts in this area, and the seabed was filled with sand and stones. There wasn't even a single plant with weak magic power. This situation was a bit like the vicinity of the Thunder Dragon's lair, where all life forms had to stay away.
The Bone Spirit was an undead creature that could be born in the Spiritual Pool every day. Its level would not be too high. No matter how high the Spiritual Pool was, it would not be able to breed a powerful Bone Spirit. However, the Bone Spirit had all the characteristics of the Undead, so it was the best for scouting.
A few four-legged snake-like Bone Spirits emerged from the bow of the ship and moved forward slowly, sticking close to the sand and stones at the bottom of the sea. Salin did not let the Wing Skeleton use the Undead Eye. If the Undead Eye expanded its detection range, it would inevitably cause energy fluctuations and expose the alchemy ship.
The image transmitted by the bone spirit was only black and white, but it was still possible to see Salin's target clearly. It was the skeleton of a giant dragon, and it was extremely complete. This was an extremely rare sight in the Frozen Sea. There were lifeforms everywhere in the sea, ranging from ordinary sea beasts of no rank to magical beasts of the ninth rank and above. Many magical beasts specialized in eating corpses to survive. Not to mention flesh and blood, they would even devour bones until nothing was left.
Dragon bones were tough, and ordinary magic beasts couldn't eat them. However, there were some tiny creatures that couldn't be seen with the naked eye, and could only be seen with magic. These creatures would slowly decompose the dragon bones, turning them into nutrients that these tiny creatures needed. No matter how tough a bone was, it would become soft after a long period of corrosion and decomposition.
If a magical beast's skeleton was found on land, even if it had been decades, the discoverer would have made a small fortune. However, in the sea, if it wasn't a fresh skeleton, it would basically be worthless.
This skeleton was different. The Bone Spirit was too small, and it took more than 20 images transmitted by the Bone Spirits to piece the dragon skeleton together. This dragon skeleton was nearly two hundred meters long, and it was probably a ten-thousand-year-old dragon. The horns on the dragon's head were abnormally sharp, but strangely, they didn't have branches. They were like two curved spears. There were no dragon eyes in the eye sockets. Legend had it that if a giant dragon could live past five thousand years, its dragon eyes would also become a treasure, as indestructible as a dragon crystal.
Under the long dragon skeleton, there were three pairs of thick leg bones. At the end of the leg bones, dragon claws sank into the sand, and the number of toes couldn't be seen. A pure-blooded giant dragon had five toes, just like a human. But Salin was still tempted. Even a Tiago Giant Dragon couldn't be regarded as a pure-blooded dragon. After all, that kind of giant dragon appeared in the South China Sea, was discovered by humans, and was seriously injured. It couldn't be regarded as the strongest dragon race. But this dragon skeleton actually had six legs!
That was the bloodline of the Giant Dragon Plane. The giant dragons captured from the Giant Dragon Plane on the Myers Continent, after the second generation, were all four-legged giant dragons. This dragon skeleton turned out to be left behind by the first generation of giant dragons.
No wonder Banchagana was tempted. Even if there was a bone in this dragon skeleton that was not damaged, it could be used to refine good equipment. It was not something that a Tiago Giant Dragon could compare with. The only pity was that this dragon skeleton had been at the bottom of the sea for a long time. There were many crustacean creatures attached to the dragon bones. Even if it was not damaged, the spiritual energy contained in the dragon bones had already disappeared, leaving only the solid material that could not be decomposed by microscopic creatures.
If there was dragon spiritual energy inside, it would be easy to refine semi-divine tools.
Just as he was thinking, two black threads shot out from the empty eye sockets of the dragon skeleton's skull. Like a sword light, they struck the bodies of the two bone spirits. The two bone spirits trembled in the water, and immediately turned into a smoke-like substance, dispersing with the waves.
"Sword Spirit!" Salin was completely depressed. Banchagana's injury was actually caused by the Sword Spirit hidden in the dragon bones. The Sword Spirit was something that could only be cultivated by a Golden Sword Saint. The Sword Spirit inside the dragon's skull should have belonged to an ancient Dragon Knight. That Dragon Knight was undoubtedly extremely powerful, and the Sword Spirit he cultivated hadn't dissipated for tens of thousands of years, and was still guarding the remains of the giant dragon.
Banchagana could survive completely because he was an Undead. Moreover, Banchagana's scepter bound his soul, and at the same time, protected it to a certain extent. Otherwise, even if Banchagana's skull was not injured by the Sword Spirit's attack, his soul fire would have been completely extinguished.
Subduing the Sword Spirit was very troublesome, and Salin couldn't use it or sell it. If he sold it to a Golden Sword Saint and absorbed it, then that Golden Sword Saint would become a fatal threat to the current Spellcasters. Even a level-nine Spellcaster wouldn't be able to withstand a blow from the Sword Spirit.
To put it bluntly, this thing was the same as the Seal of God. Even if Salin painstakingly obtained it, he could only hide it, and definitely couldn't use it. However, with the protection of the Sword Spirit, the dragon skeleton definitely wouldn't be damaged. Salin was still very happy. He had always envied the Devil's Horn's big ship, which was completely built from the bones of magical beasts and could fly on the water.
The dragon skeleton's spiritual energy had dissipated, but its sturdiness was rare in the world. If he made a similar ship, it would at least be much sturdier. If he was lucky, the dragon crystal should also be there.
After thinking for a while, Salin let the Winged Skeleton take back the remaining bone spirits, and studied how to deal with the Sword Spirit.
If he personally took action, he had a 20% chance of success. The master of the Sword Spirit was already dead, and no matter how strong a Dragon Knight was, it didn't have the lifespan of a Spellcaster. Therefore, although the Sword Spirit was sharp, it couldn't be controlled by anyone, and could be collected using a Dimension Stone.
The problem was that the Sword Spirit was too fast, and the person who went to collect it would be killed if he wasn't careful. Salin himself wasn't willing to take the risk, so Shika was naturally unwilling to let it go. It was the same for Nelis. Among the others, only Banchagana could move in such deep water. As for the Winged Skeleton, Salin still needed him to drive the ship.
"Banchagana, that's the Sword Spirit. Do you dare to collect it again?"
Banchagana also found information about the Sword Spirit in his memory, and he felt even more depressed. No wonder he couldn't detect any signs of soul fluctuations. The Sword Spirit wasn't a real life, and didn't have any characteristics of a soul. Its attack speed was also faster than magic, which was why he was at a disadvantage. If he had known beforehand that the Sword Spirit was hiding there, he would have had a Dimension Stone, and based on his experience, he could have collected it into the Dimension Stone.
But the attack just now made Banchagana's heart palpitate. He wanted to refuse Salin's order, but he was afraid that Salin would get angry, so he immediately hesitated.
"Banchagana, I'm counting on you to help me protect the city. How can I let you die?
"But …" Banchagana pointed at the crack above his head, and for the first time, he showed a pleading attitude in front of Salin. He was now bound by Salin and couldn't return to the Dimension of Dead Souls. Such a crack was already very difficult to repair. If he went out to collect the Sword Spirit again, it was inevitable that he would be hit a few times. By then, he would be covered in wounds, and his strength would decrease rapidly. Just relying on the Green Spirit that Salin gave him couldn't help him recover at all. If he wanted this wound to disappear, he would have to sleep in the Green Spirit for three to five hundred years.
And this dragon skeleton had no spirit energy. Even if Salin was generous and gave him a bone, he couldn't use it to repair his body.
"Go quickly. If you can subdue the Sword Spirit, I'll give you dragon bones with spirit energy to repair all wounds!" Salin didn't hold back, and urged Banchagana. He still had the bones of the Tiago Giant Dragon. Maybe they weren't as sturdy as the dragon skeleton in front of him, but they could be used to repair the body of the Undead, which would be very beneficial to Banchagana.
"Really?" Banchagana was a little confused. Salin, this guy, didn't even blink when he lied. Otherwise, how could the three of them have ended up like this?
Salin had no choice. He took out a dragon bone from the Demon Ring and gave it to Banchagana. Holding it in his hand, Banchagana immediately felt the life force in the dragon bone. This giant dragon died not long ago!
Salin could actually slay a dragon? Banchagana was shocked by Salin again. The Tiago Giant Dragon was about the same level as him, but that was in the Dimension of Dead Souls. In this plane, he definitely couldn't kill a Tiago Giant Dragon.
The evil human must have used some sinister means. Banchagana criticized in his mind, and obediently left the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship. Because his body could be repaired, and his soul couldn't disappear completely, Banchagana finally had some confidence. But he still returned to his original form in the water. Each of his six arms was holding a dimensional stone that Salin gave him, and he was ready to collect the Sword Spirit.
