Chapter 728: Burying Dragons For 1,000 Days (2/2)
”Whoos.h.!.+” A ball of yellow light materialized beside the Mountain Dragon King before forming a dragon soul that rushed directly toward Tang Wulin.
The dragon soul possessed less than one percent of the Mountain Dragon King's power, but it was still over 30 meters tall. However, it didn't have any wings, so it was looking quite clumsy and maladroit as it tried to climb out of the giant hole.
Tang Wulin burst into laughter upon seeing this. ”I already told you yesterday that you don't have to do this. You can save your energy for yourself; I'll be leaving after I bury you.”
The giant dragon soul made its way over to Tang Wulin, and it didn't open its mouth to say anything, but there was wisdom s.h.i.+mmering within its eyes. It bent its hind legs and knelt down before Tang Wulin, lowering its ma.s.sive head before rubbing it against his body. Light then flashed, and streams of yellow light flowed into Tang Wulin's body.
The dragon souls manifested by the Mountain Dragon King were the most powerful among all of the dragon souls conjured up by the true dragon skeletons, and after absorbing one of them, Tang Wulin could go seven days and seven nights without experiencing any hunger or thirst.
Thus, his body was replenished, and the surrounding soil suddenly surged into the giant hole on its own, as if it were being drawn by some kind of invisible force.
Tang Wulin smiled upon seeing this. As expected of the Mountain Dragon King; even its remains still possessed such a high level of autonomy.
The giant hole was gradually filled, and the Mountain Dragon King's enormous body slowly disappeared. The final giant dragon had been buried.
Meanwhile, the dragon soul manifested by the Mountain Dragon King was also gradually becoming transparent as it injected its energy incessantly into Tang Wulin's body.
”Huh?” Tang Wulin suddenly discovered that at the center of the Mountain Dragon King's dragon soul, there was an entirely transparent bone. The bone was rather strange in appearance as it seemed to possess countless facets, and even the slightest trace of light s.h.i.+ning on it made it extremely dazzling in appearance.
Is that... a soul bone?
”Hey, stop burying yourself; you forgot one of your bones,” Tang Wulin hurriedly said to the giant hole that was slowly being filled.
However, the dragon soul of the Mountain Dragon King, which had almost completely vanished at this point, shook its head at him in response. It raised a front claw before pointing it at him, then pointing it at itself, then pointed it at him again before it nodded its huge head.
A surprised look appeared on Tang Wulin's face as he asked, ”You're giving this to me?”
The dragon soul nodded once again, and Tang Wulin could see strong affection and benevolence harbored within its eyes.
The translucent dazzling soul bone whizzed over to Tang Wulin in a flash, and before he had a chance to react, it entered his body along with what remained of the dragon soul's energy.
All of a sudden, Tang Wulin suddenly felt his body become significantly heavier, and he reflexively sat down onto the ground, following his entire being completely stiffened.
He felt as if he'd become a mountain that was directly connected with the earth, and boundless energy was surging toward him from all directions before fusing into his body.
In that instant, he felt as if he could hear all of the giant dragons beneath the earth roaring at him with elation, as if to express their grat.i.tude for everything he'd done.
There was no longer any grief or despair; all of them had finally found the home that they belonged to. A joyful smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. It was only proper to give deceased beings a final burial. Regardless of what had happened to them during their lives, at the very least, this vast expanse of land could act as their home following their demise.
Tang Wulin sincerely hoped that no one would ever disturb them in their resting place in the future.
He wore a gentle smile on his face as he said, ”My friends, I'm not sure if I can call you that, but during this period of time, I've constantly been with all of you, and even though I'm doing the same thing every day, I didn't find it boring in the slightest. I could sense your emotions, and they urged me to persevere, so thank you for keeping me company. I don't know how long I've been here, but I don't regret anything as this is a memory that I will cherish for the rest of my life.”
