A "hong" sound rang out.
The fireball instantly exploded in the depths of the cave. After the rolling flames spread out, it immediately illuminated the surrounding scenery.
This cave was actually a winding tunnel. The four walls were made of mud and it led deeper into the ground.
With a leap, the Sea Tribe man jumped into it.
After a slight hesitation, the little girl also followed.
The Sea Race male stepped on the mud in the tunnel and took out a white bead the size of an egg. He threw it into the air and it turned into a ball of white light that floated above his head. It illuminated everything nearby clearly.
The tunnel was circular and it was filled with a thick damp smell of mud.
After the Sea Race male took a deep breath, he held the blade with one hand and carefully walked down the tunnel. The layer of blue light on his body was still there, obviously afraid of being suddenly attacked by something.
The two of them walked down the winding tunnel for about a hundred feet. Suddenly, the footsteps of the Sea Race male in front of them stopped. His eyes flashed as he stared at a faintly black blood stain on the mud wall.
"This is …" The little girl couldn't help but ask.
The Sea Race male didn't immediately reply. Instead, he moved his arm and grabbed a handful of the mud that contained the black blood. He placed it under his nose and sniffed it.
"That's right, it was left by the Scarlet Dragon." In the next moment, the Sea Race male said with great joy.
The little girl nodded and didn't say anything more.
Her brother, on the other hand, excitedly threw the mud in his hand and sped up his footsteps to continue down.
After a short while, a huge cave appeared at the end of the tunnel.
The Lan brother and sister's expressions froze and they walked over with extreme caution.
However, when the Sea Race male walked into the cave and looked up, he was immediately scared out of his wits.
High up in the air, a scarlet dragon that was over a hundred feet long coiled its body into a ball. It extended its huge head and glared fiercely at the two of them with its round eyes.
"Not good, little sister, quickly retreat!"
The Sea Race male shook his wrist without thinking and the crystal blade in his hand shook. Immediately, it turned into a long crystal blade that was a few feet long. With a loud yell, he was about to attack the Scarlet Dragon in the air.
"Wait a moment, it seems to be a dead object!" In the instant that the petite woman saw the crimson wyrm, her face also paled, but she immediately noticed that something was amiss.
"Dead object!" The Sea Race man was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he realize that the Sky Serpent had not moved from beginning to end. Its eyes had not even blinked once.
"Could it be that this Scarlet Dragon has already died from its injuries? Let me give it a try! " The Sea Race man was pleasantly surprised. After a slight hesitation, he shook the long blade in his hand and a cold light swept toward the dragon.
"Peng!"
The glacial light was repelled by the wyrm's massive body, but the wyrm was forced back several tens of feet as a result.
"No, it's so light, this doesn't seem to be the corpse of a Scarlet Dragon!" When the petite girl saw this scene, her expression immediately changed as she spoke.
The Sea Race male naturally also discovered the abnormality. Without another word, he rose into the air and directly flew in front of the Scarlet Dragon. After carefully inspecting it, he cried out involuntarily,
"This is just an empty shell that has been shed. The real Scarlet Dragon is not here! "
When the petite girl heard this, her heart shook. She immediately twisted her body and flew into the air. She arrived above the Scarlet Dragon and carefully inspected it. Indeed, she discovered that there was a long, thin crack on the back of the dragon.
The petite girl then used her slender foot to lightly tap the Scarlet Dragon, causing it to sway a few times. As expected, it was extremely light. It was just an empty shell with no flesh or blood inside.
"Why is it like this? Where did the Scarlet Dragon's main body run off to? Why didn't my secret technique detect it? "The Sea Race male stared at the empty shell of the dragon in front of him with an extremely ugly expression.
"There are only two situations when a dragon sheds its skin. One is when its cultivation greatly increases and its body expands, so it has no choice but to shed its original layer of skin in order to grow new skin to accommodate an even larger body. The other situation is rumored to be the "Truth Restoration" ability that even pure-blooded dragons rarely have. It is said that any dragon that possesses this innate ability can shed its original dragon shell at the cost of a drastic drop in cultivation when its life is in danger. It can reconstruct its entire body and obtain a chance to be reborn. "The petite girl slowly said.
"With the dragon's heavy injuries, it obviously cannot be the first situation. This means that this Demon Dragon is an extremely rare pure-blooded dragon. That is why it used the Truth Restoration ability to shed its dragon skin. Could it be that its injuries have already healed? Then what cultivation realm can it still maintain? Why can't I sense its location! "The Sea Race male's expression changed several times before he sucked in a breath of cold air.
"The Truth Reversal Divine Ability is a great divine ability that rarely appears even among the flood dragons. Naturally, outsiders have even less understanding of it. The only thing I know is that if this dragon truly used this ability, it definitely does not have a crystal level cultivation. No, it might not even have a liquid level cultivation and is still extremely weak. Otherwise, it would have already appeared and killed all of us. As for why you are unable to sense its existence, I am not too sure. Perhaps it is the additional effect of the Truth Restoration ability, or perhaps the dragon's current concealment technique can block your senses. "The petite girl said with a slight hesitation.
"This means that this Scarlet Dragon may recover a portion of its strength at any time and appear to slaughter all of us." The Sea Race male's expression changed greatly as he asked.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. To be on the safe side, we should leave this place as soon as possible. Since this place has the shell left behind by the dragon, perhaps it will come back to take a look. "The petite girl also suggested with a serious expression.
"Alright, I'll take this dragon skin and we'll leave immediately. Although we did not find the body of the Scarlet Dragon, such a large piece of dragon skin is enough to make up for the loss of the Sea Dragon's blood essence. However, the size of this dragon skin is a bit too large, so it should shrink a bit first. Since it is a fire attribute Scarlet Dragon, it should shrink when encountering fire. "The Sea Race male thought for a moment before coming to a decision.
Subsequently, he formed a hand sign with one hand and several fireballs flew out. They all smashed into the empty shell of the dragon with a loud bang, turning into rolling flames that burned fiercely.
A shocking scene appeared.
When this large piece of rubber was submerged by the sea of fire, it suddenly shrunk with a flash of red light.
After a short while, it had shrunk to the size of three feet.
"This size should be enough." The Sea Race male muttered to himself. With a flash of cold light from the crystal clear long blade in his hand, he actually cut a small wound on his wrist. Then, with the Fa Li in his body, he actually forced out a pea-sized mini conch.
This conch looked small and exquisite, and its entire body emitted a misty white light.
The Sea Race male grabbed the conch and used a bit of Fa Li to push it. In an instant, it actually shrunk to the size of an egg. At the same time, dense silver inscriptions appeared on its surface.
"Fortunately, when we left the clan, you and I were rewarded with a Sumeru Conch. Otherwise, we would not be able to hide it from those old human ghosts outside." The Sea Race male raised the conch in his hand and suddenly said with a smile.
"The Sumeru Conch is a natural spatial strange object of the deep sea and is not an artifact that was refined. Even in our Sea Race, it is extremely rare. If it weren't for the fact that we were carrying a heavy responsibility this time, the clan elders would not have made an exception and bestowed one to us siblings. Those human Crystal Level Cultivators are not weak, but they still did not discover its existence. It is a pity that the space inside is a bit too small. After putting down the dragon skin, there is not much space left. "The petite girl also replied with a smile.
At this moment, a white mist shot out from the conch and covered the shrunken dragon skin. With a blur, it disappeared without a trace.
"Okay, let's go!" The Sea Race male weighed the conch in his hand and said with a satisfied expression.
The petite girl smiled slightly and was about to reply to her brother, but in the next moment, her face suddenly changed. She turned around and shouted, "Who is hiding there?
"Who's hiding there? Come out with me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl raised one hand and immediately, over ten white lines shot out at the same time. It was the Water Arrow Technique that had been cultivated to the Perfection Stage.
With a "pu pu" sound, the white lines all flashed into the entrance of the tunnel. However, after that, there was silence and nothing abnormal happened.
"Little sister, what is going on!"
The Sea Race male's expression became serious and he hurriedly stuffed the conch in his hand into his sleeve. He quickly flew to his sister's side and looked at the entrance with the crystal clear long knife in his hand.
"I just felt that there seemed to be someone there, but when I really turned around, the person disappeared." The petite girl said with a serious expression.
"There is such a thing … Not good, he is here!" The Sea Race male first furrowed his eyebrows, but when his gaze swept across the other parts of the cave, his eyes immediately widened.
The petite girl was shocked and followed the male's gaze to look in the same direction. As expected, she saw a black figure standing quietly in the corner of the cave.
However, because the light was too dim, the two of them were unable to see the other person's face clearly.
"Who are you? When did you come in? Did you hear our conversation just now?" The Sea Race male quickly recovered his original calmness. He looked at the blurry black figure and asked with a trace of killing intent on his face.
However, the black figure still stood quietly in the same spot and did not have the slightest intention of opening his mouth to reply.
Seeing this, the petite girl at the side furrowed her eyebrows and suddenly shook her sleeve. Immediately, a few crystal clear beads flew out and spun in the air nearby. At the same time, they released a piercing white light.
In an instant, the originally dark cave became as bright as day. The face of the black figure was exposed to the Lan brother and sister.
"It's you!"
Once he saw the true face of the black figure, the Sea Race male immediately cried out with a face full of shock.
The black figure raised his face slightly and revealed an abnormally pale face of a youth. He suddenly smiled at the Sea Race brother and sister in the air.
