205 Escaped From Death By Luck

Although Ye Xuan couldn’t see everyone’s expressions, there were many gazes of awe cast on him. This mountain of bones was too huge, and it took him a lot of effort to get down from above.

Seeing that he had returned safely, everyone was still immersed in the scene just now. It took a long time for them to come back to their senses. It was Shen Changling who said, “Elder Ye, you’re too awesome. We almost thought that you died in the dragon’s belly.”

“I was very lucky.”

If everyone was only respectful to Ye Xuan before, thinking that he was a little mysterious and unfathomable, now they were all in awe. He could even deal with an ancient creature like the skeletal dragon, so what else could Ye Xuan not do?

The others all bowed deeply to Ye Xuan. if it weren’t for Ye Xuan, they would have been dead.

“Oh right, Elder Ye, how did you do it?”

Ye Xuan turned around and looked at the huge mountain of bones. It seemed that it was just as he had guessed. The mysterious vortex was indeed the source of the skeletal dragon’s power.

The energy in the vortex was extracted by the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram and then absorbed by him. The skeletal dragon thus returned to its original form.

Now that the crisis was over and everyone had escaped death, He Feng’s eyes were filled with excitement.

“Legend has it that dragon bones are indestructible. They are the best material and can even be used to forge divine artifacts. Now. there are so many dragon bones...”

As he spoke, he approached the mountain of bones and reached out to touch it. However, before he could finish his words, the dragon bones instantly turned into powder and dissipated in the air.

He Feng pounced on empty air and said in disbelief, “How could it be like this?!”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, all the dragon bones turned into dust and disappeared with the wind. Not even a residue was left.

The huge mountain of bones seemed to have been wiped out by a pair of invisible hands. If it wasn’t for the surrounding ground and the pressure that hadn’t dissipated, it was impossible to tell that there had once been a dragon skeleton in the world.

All traces of the skeletal dragon were gone.

He Feng revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. He wailed, “It’s gone, it’s all gone.”

Originally, he had hoped to use the dragon bones to forge a magic weapon. Although he could not make a divine artifact with his current level, it was definitely more than enough to make a top-grade sky-rank magic weapon.

Shen Changling didn’t care about this, so he comforted He Feng, “On the bright side, at least we’re still alive, aren’t we?”

To be able to keep their lives in the face of an ancient creature was already a blessing in disguise, so no one dared to ask for anything more.

“I didn’t expect that there would be a dragon mine here.”

It wasn’t exactly a dragon mine, because this was only the place where the skeletal dragon slumbered.

However, the dragon mine that the possessed Wu Hai had mentioned might be here. The miners had no idea when they decided to mine this place. They had thought it was a rare spirit stone mine, but they didn’t expect to find such a creature at the bottom.

They were punished for disturbing the awakening of the skeletal dragon. They probably fell into an alternate dimension or a crack, which was why they were not even left with a corpse.

“Then why did these demonic beasts suddenly attack people so crazily?”

That was still a mystery that had not been solved.

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment before saying, “They might be affected by the skeletal dragon. After all, the dragon race has a natural bloodline suppression on these demonic beasts. Moreover, these people have overexploited it, and they have already threatened and offended the skeletal dragon.”

On the way here, Ye Xuan saw many abandoned spirit stone mines. After asking, he learned that the spirit stones in these spirit stone mines had all been mined.

Logically speaking, if the foundation of the spirit stone mine was still there, these spirit stones could be regenerated, but it would take some time.

However, some sects and disciples were blinded by greed. For short-term benefits, they overexploited the mines, causing the foundation of the mines to be damaged and unable to be repaired. It was equivalent to killing the chicken to get the eggs.

As a result, the environment of the demonic beasts’ forest was destroyed, and the spiritual energy gradually became thin. It was no wonder that those demonic beasts were hostile to humans.

It was probably not only because of the skeletal dragon but also because of the humans themselves, which led to the revenge of the demonic beasts.

“If that’s the case, then it’s understandable.”

Everyone’s faces were filled with emotion, especially those who had followed them out of Changping.

Just as everyone was talking, the ground began to shake violently.

“BOOM!”

Huge fragments fell down, sending dust flying.

Ye Xuan’s expression changed slightly. He said, “We can’t stay here for long. Let’s quickly leave.”

Previously, it was only because of the skeletal dragon’s support that this space could exist. Now that the skeletal dragon had disappeared from the world, in addition to the great battle that had just occurred, it could be said that this space was extremely unstable and was in danger of collapsing at any time.

If they were accidentally drawn into a spatial tear, they would probably die without even knowing how. Everyone knew the severity of the situation and did not dare to stay for long.

Ye Xuan had most of the Penglai Immortal Beasts return to the space to recuperate, leaving only a few that were less seriously injured to carry everyone away.

“We should be able to leave if we keep flying in that direction.”

Ye Xuan pointed to the southeast of the sky. That was where the blood moon was and where the skeletal dragon first appeared. He guessed that this was the key to breaking out of this situation.

This was because this was the only place that did not fit in with the rest. Previously, the skeletal dragon had been guarding this place, but now that the skeletal dragon was not here, everyone had no more worries.

The Penglai Immortal Beasts spread their wings and flew over at lightning speed. The surrounding scenery quickly melted away, as if it was affected by some unknown force.

Countless space fragments also fell, containing a huge suction force, sucking everything in, and this space gradually became nothingness.

Moreover, this nothingness was spreading toward Ye Xuan and the others at an extremely fast speed. If they were really swallowed by it, they would probably stay in this space for the rest of their lives, unable to leave.
