withered prosperity

The skeleton is so high that one cannot see its top when looking up.

It is said to be white bones, but because of the age, most of them are entangled by the green leaves of vines, and only a few places show the original color of the bones.

"This, this..." Yue Liuyi grabbed Yan Hai's sleeve: "What is it?"

The bones of this thing are so big when it is dead. When it is alive, I am afraid it will not block out the sky...

"It's a dragon."

They turned their heads and looked at Mu Huaijin who was slowly walking up the steps.

"Master Mu, what do you think this is?" Yue Liuyi felt that she had heard it wrong.

"Dragon, an ancient alien race, can call wind and rain, and possesses boundless magic power..."

"Master Mu, you've drunk too much water and are confused!" Yue Liuyi gestured at the mountain-like skeleton with his hand and said, "Although this skeleton looks scary, but the dragon...how is that possible!"

"How is it impossible?" Mu Huaijin looked at the huge bone mountain, with a similarly smug smile on his face: "Since there are monsters in this world, there are also gods, why can't this be a dragon bone?"

"Of course it's because..." Yue Liuyi paused, "Because there are no dragons in this world!"

"How do you know if it's there?" Mu Huaijin glanced at her, "It's just that you haven't seen it before..."

"I don't think so." Yan Hai interrupted him.

"Young Master Yan, what you said..."

Yan Hai raised his hand.

"Master Mu, I have heard of many miraculous things, and I have seen many strange things with my own eyes, but only a few of them are true, and most of them are false." He squinted his eyes With that "keel". "I don't dare to assert that something I've never seen is real, but you, Master Mu, recognized it as a 'dragon' at a glance... It's really surprising!"

"That's right!" Yue Liuyi laughed: "Master Mu can recognize dragons and whatnot, so maybe you've seen them before?"

"Even if Master Mu hasn't seen it with his own eyes, he must have seen it somewhere, maybe in a book... Am I right?"

As they spoke one by one, Mu Huaijin's face became more and more ugly.

"You don't have to answer me." Yan Hai sneered: "Some things are not easy to tell outsiders, and I can understand that."

Mu Huaijin seemed to want to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth and went to the "keel" alone.

"Mu Huaijin doesn't look right. He laughed so uncomfortable just now." Yue Liuyi looked at his back and asked Yan Hai next to him: "He was polite to us just now, how did he climb?" After going up a few steps, he looked like he wanted to turn his face, what do you think is going on?"

"Of course it's because of that, or what's hidden in it." Yan Hai pointed to the keel with his chin. "When he saw what he was looking for, he was overjoyed, and naturally he didn't care about pretending."

"Then let him be happy for a while." Yue Liuyi said calmly, "When he gets it, I'll take it over."

"But, I think..."

"Hey! Yue Cuiwei, what are you doing?" Yue Liuyi pulled him back. "Where are you going?"

"I think it's more likely that after we get that thing, we won't be a threat to him anymore." Yan Hai shook off her: "We still have to follow him in case something changes."

"You just said that this thing is fake?"

They stepped on the soft grass and followed Mu Huaijin at a certain distance.

"Probably not, this bone may be fake, but the sea water above this head cannot be fake." He thought for a while: "Unless what we see in front of us is illusion, we are actually still in the dark room on the first floor." among."

"This is too exaggerated, it's just..." Yue Liuyi looked at him suspiciously: "Are you serious?"

"Do you want this to be real?"

"That's really hard to say... If it's true, then could this thing really be a dragon?" Yue Liuyi looked up at the Dragon Bone Mountain that was getting closer and closer: "Tell me, why didn't the dragon straighten its tail when it died?" , but want to coil yourself up?"

The bone mountain, which is said to be formed by the bones of a dragon, actually looks like a circle with its back sideways, but because it is too huge and covered by plants, so they can't see the skull at the top from their current position, only the protrusion part of the lower jaw.

"Maybe it depends on its posture when it died!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

"If you know it's nonsense, then shut up!"

"You treat me as if I want to talk nonsense here, I just feel uncomfortable, don't always think about it when you want to talk." Yue Liuyi pressed his forehead: "It may be that I was closed in the water for too long just now, and I have a terrible headache."

Yan Hai touched his collarbone, it was faintly hot...

"Did you hear any sound?" After walking a few steps, Yue Liuyi asked him again.

"what sound?"

"The sound of the wind? It seems to be the sound of the wind..." She said, "Didn't you hear it?"

Yan Hai shook his head: "There is no wind in this place, where is the wind coming from?"

But it turns out he was wrong.

When they reached the place where they could touch the keel, suddenly a strong wind blew in their faces.

Their clothes and hair were blown backwards, and they couldn't take a step forward.

"What's going on?" Yue Liuyi covered his face with his sleeves, and asked with difficulty, "Where did the strong wind come from?"

Yan Hai pulled her back a step, and sure enough, the wind stopped immediately.

"Huh?" Yue Liuyi looked at everything in front of her in astonishment, and then she tried to step forward again.

Immediately there was a strong wind that blew her back a few steps.

"How did Mu Huaijin get through?" She widened her eyes: "Why can't we get through?"

"Don't move." Yan Hai said to her, and then walked forward alone.

"Don't do anything! Could it be that if I can't make it through, you can...how can you make it through?"

Yan Hai looked at her from five or six steps away.

Yue Liuyi was stunned for a moment, and then tried to walk over once, but was still blown back by the wind.

"What do you mean? Why can't I get through if you can?"

"You can stay here!" Yan Hai looked up.

"What am I doing here!" Of course Yue Liuyi refused: "You find a way to help me get there! You don't have martial arts..."

"Mu Huaijin didn't either."

After speaking, he ignored Yue Liuyi's call and walked straight to the tail of the keel.

Yue Liuyi changed several places, but they were all blocked by the strong wind, and she couldn't go in at all. In the end, she was exhausted and could only collapse on the grass...

Yan Hai walked up slowly along the tail of the keel.

This dragon-like skeleton is very huge, walking along its back is like walking on a flat upward slope, without much effort.

He originally thought that the shape of the keel would be closer to that of a snake bone, but in fact it was more like a fish bone, with a spine in the middle and flat and straight bones on both sides.

Mu Huaijin was walking in front, and Yan Hai was following behind, he walked as he walked, and he rested as he stopped.During the period, Mu Huaijin turned his head to look at him several times, with that "uncomfortable" smile that Yue Liuyi called on his face, but he didn't talk to him or quicken his pace.

They stopped and went one after the other, and it took about an hour before they slowly reached the top of the "Dragon Bone Mountain".

Mu Huaijin was still walking forward, but Yan Hai stopped.

Two trees appeared in front of him.

One is full of lush green leaves, but the other has only strong dead branches.

They seem to have grown for thousands of years, tall and straight, straight into the sky.
