Following the principle of not wasting anything that he saw, Aoki successfully dug out the blue stone from the statue.
After the A.I. Chip's scan, it was indeed one of the fragments of the Blue Sky Slate.
It was slightly smaller than the one he dug out from Lie Kong's statue, but there were only so many Blue Sky Slate in total. To be able to find two in a few days was already considered extremely lucky for Aoki.
After checking and not finding anything else, Aoki left in satisfaction.
Since he knew that this was a space left behind by the ancient people, Aoki didn't think too much about it.
Originally, he thought that he would be able to dig out some terrifying divine beast from some corner of the space and have an earth-shattering battle.
When he left, he once again plundered the spirit-type treasures in the Dragon's Graveyard. The biggest gain was that Aoki found a piece of naturally formed Spirit Realm Cloth in a crack in a rock.
This item was extremely attractive to spirit-type elves. Moreover, it could allow the Imitation Night Spirit to evolve into a Night Devil Spirit after carrying it. It was considered an extremely rare item.
Aoki had once asked Hibiscus Chinensis for it. After all, one of her main battle elves was a Night Devil Spirit. However, she told Aoki that she didn't have any extra Spirit Realm Cloth. Her Night Devil Spirit's evolution was still dependent on her grandparents.
Now, in this place where the spirit-type energy was extremely dense, he found a piece of Spirit Realm Cloth.
Carried by ordinary spirit-type elves, not only could it help them sort out the spirit-type energy in their bodies, it could also help them conceal their figures better.
For the Geng Gui in its current state, it was extremely useful.
Aoki gave it to the Geng Gui at the first moment, letting it stay in the shadow to properly compress the energy in its body and stabilize its foundation.
Walking out of the Dragon's Graveyard, he kept all the elves and summoned Chanaido. After teleporting many times, he returned to Dragon's Valley.
This time, he still spent quite a bit of time leaving. Especially in the Dragon's Graveyard where he couldn't see any light, he didn't feel the time passing.
In order to collect those materials, he had spent a lot of time.
When Genji saw Aoki, he frowned slightly. "You've been gone for so long. Have you entered the Dragon's Tomb?"
Genji's senses were still very sharp.
Aoki had no intention of hiding it and nodded gently. "I'm a little curious, so …"
"You should have seen the magic array inside. It wasn't damaged, right?" Genji asked. He did not care about why Aoki had entered.
Aoki immediately shook his head. "No, I just collected a lot of ghost-type materials."
Hearing Aoki say no, Genji was obviously relieved. Then he patted Aoki's shoulder and said, "I know you should have a lot of doubts after seeing the array, but there are some things I don't know, but that array is related to all the lives in this space.
Do you know why this space has existed for so long and there are so many Dragon Elves living in it, but the energy in the entire space hasn't dried up? "
"Could it be … because …" Aoki was a little surprised. It seemed that his teacher had done some research.
Genji nodded. "That's right. It's because of that thing. According to my old friend, a long, long time ago, that place wasn't a Dragon's Tomb. Instead, it was a place more important than Dragon Valley. There were many powerhouses guarding there.
But when the first batch of powerhouses died, the second batch of powerhouses were replaced and slowly died of old age. Gradually, that place became a Dragon's Tomb.
All the Dragon Elves will also guard that place after they die. "
I see.
Hearing this, Aoki understood what was going on.
"It's good that you didn't cause any damage.
But there should be a guardian in the Dragon's Tomb. I told you not to go in because I was afraid that you would do some research on the array and modify it. Then, the guardian will appear and I won't be able to stop it.
Let's go. Your Shell Dragon should be almost done absorbing. Let's go and see it. "Genji patted Aoki's shoulder.
Then, the two of them walked toward the Dragon Pool in the temple. Along the way, Genji told Aoki many legends about this space.
Some of them were investigated out of curiosity, while some were told to him by his old friend.
...
They came to the Dragon Pool again.
He realized that the water level of the special liquid in the Dragon Pool had obviously decreased.
Originally, it was only at the Shell Dragon's eyes, but now it was almost at the bottom of its white bone armor.
"What a good kid. This Shell Dragon has great potential!" Genji's eyes flashed with excitement. The Shell Dragon's absorption ability was much stronger than he had imagined.
The more it absorbed, the stronger the Dragon Bloodline in its body. The more it needed this liquid to unlock the sealed potential.
Sensing Aoki and Genji's approach, the Shell Dragon slowly opened its eyes. When it looked at Aoki, a hint of confusion flashed in its eyes. It was as if it had drunk too much and couldn't remember what had happened.
However, it soon remembered everything.
Whoosh whoosh —
It moved its four limbs and walked toward Aoki. As it moved its four limbs, the liquid in it vibrated and splashed in all directions.
A smile appeared on Aoki's face as he watched the Shell Dragon walk step by step to his side.
He patted the bone armor on its back and praised, "Well done, Carapace Dragon!"
Although it didn't know what it had done well, it was obvious that Aoki was very happy. Hence, the Shell Dragon was very happy.
This was because after Aoki used the A.I. Chip to scan the Shell Dragon's data, he realized that although its aptitude was still blue, it was much richer than before.
"It has only absorbed the dragon blood now and hasn't completely digested it. It needs to calm down and slowly absorb it later," Genji said.
Aoki nodded.
The two of them brought the elves out of the shrine and arrived at the valley.
Seeing so many Shell Dragons, Babel Dragons, and Berserk Dragons in the valley, Aoki's Shell Dragon's eyes shone with a hint of surprise.
Ever since it was born, this was the first time it had seen so many of its kind.
After getting Aoki's approval, it strode toward the group of Shell Dragons.
After being enlightened by the staff-tailed scaled dragon, the Shell Dragon's mental knot was almost completely untied. Although it still worked hard in its training, it was no longer as stubborn as before.
Aoki and Genji looked at each other and smiled. They could see the gratification in each other's eyes.
Aoki was gratified by the Shell Dragon's growth, while Genji was gratified by Aoki's growth.
The two of them found a place to sit down. Today, they would let the Shell Dragon have some fun. Ever since it was born, the Shell Dragon had never been so happy.
"Aoki, in the future, you have to protect this place for me," Genji thought silently.
...
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Other than the first day when the Shell Dragon played with its kind for a day, for the next nine days, the Shell Dragon obediently lay in a corner with its eyes closed and digested the "dragon blood" that it had absorbed before.
However, on this day, Aoki and Genji's communication devices rang at the same time. They had received a letter from the Alliance.
They were in different spaces, but they could still send a special message to their communication devices. This meant that the Alliance had encountered something very important.
Seeing the two words on their communication devices, Aoki and Genji's expressions turned ugly.
It was a simple word, but it contained too much meaning.
"Return quickly!"
