Chapter 268 – Eggs, Dragon Skeletons, and an Orb (1/2)

As the borders opened and drew the curtains to the National War, the entire Eternal boiled with excitement. Both guilds and guildless players let go of their conflicts and competitions; everyone wanted to put forth their all into farming for border passes, to win honor and glory for their countries.

Meanwhile, the ten players who got their border passes from the First Under Heaven Tournament had already left the country. As for where they went, it was their secret.

However, Fatty was completely unaware of the outside news. He was currently heading towards the heart of Sky City.

Finding Sky City had gone unexpectedly smoothly for Fatty. He thought there would have been many fierce battles, at least some harsh trials, or had to kill some bosses. But, he just got to Sky City as easily as flipping his hand.

In the past, there must have been other races living here aside from the Holy Unicorns. A variety of bizarre monsters popped out endlessly and gave Fatty quite a bit of trouble.

Luckily, the God of Light once cast a Purification spell over this land and destroyed many souls, otherwise, there would be much more of them now. After all, such a big city should have had at least tens of millions of inhabitants.

Fatty cut his way through thistles and thorns and slew several high-rank Yao bosses before he finally arrived at the center of Sky City.

It was a level, empty area. From the looks of it, something used to be there but was plucked off whole, leaving nothing but bare soil.

Without a doubt, the thing that was plucked away was definitely the Holy Spirit Island.

According to Chief Amedick, the Holy Unicorn eggs it left behind were buried in this area.

“X-Ray.” Fatty took out the Crystal Maze of Terror to use the function and sweep the underground.

However, he walked all over the area without finding anything. Aside from soil, there was still soil, and occasionally some battered equipment that had no value whatsoever.

“The heck? Perhaps they’re not here?” Fatty tried the other areas and repeated all over again, but like the first one, there was no trace of the Holy Unicorn eggs.

And it remained that way even after Fatty used up the function’s ten uses for the day.

“Did the God of Light take them?” Fatty suddenly thought of a very unpleasant possibility. But, he instantly rejected it. The God of Light already massacred the Holy Unicorn clan, he wouldn’t have minded those petty eggs.

Therefore, they had to be somewhere he couldn’t yet see. Mulling for a bit, Fatty summoned Wheat and put the Brutal Saddle on it. Against the rodent’s protests, he flung himself on its back.

“Down.” Fatty controlled Wheat and sank underground.

Fatty ignored the plain soil around and kept diving down. After roughly three kilometers, they arrived at a place that wasn’t quite the same. The soil here was much more solid, and moreover, there was a faint light shining through from below.

“What’s this?” Fatty stopped before a queer-looking object. It was over ten meters long, half a meter thick, pure glossy green in color, and was shaped in a large arc. At one touch, Fatty felt a cool and refreshing sensation, as if this object was full of vitality; alive, even.

“Is this some kind of equipment?” Fatty wasn’t in a hurry to find the eggs, so he followed down along this object.

He went for several dozen meters before seeing another object lying horizontally. From its appearance, this one wasn’t any different from the previous, but wider and bigger.

Fatty flicked his fingers on the object and heard a clear and crisp sound. The object’s surface was engraved with dense patterns like some kind of magical runes.

Clank! Sparks flew as the Elemental Sword struck the object. Fatty’s hands went numb from the force, while the object only suffered a pea-sized dent.

The Elemental Sword was only Gold-tier, but its solidity was something that even spatial rifts couldn’t mar, and its sharpness was Divine-level. Yet, such a weapon could only create a small dent, one could imagine how solid this object was.

“The renowned city of several thousand years ago indeed lives up to its reputation. Even a random object buried underground is this strong,” praised Fatty with a nod.

Since his curiosity was piqued by this new object, Fatty temporarily put the eggs aside and urged Wheat to follow alongside it. Without a doubt, the first one that he discovered was only a branch. After about five kilometers, Fatty came across several dozens of them, which made it one in every ten meters.

The further he went, the bigger the objects got. The part that Fatty could see was already several meters wide, let alone the rest that was buried.

“I see.” Fatty suddenly slapped his thigh.

Look at this curve and this glossy sheen, ending with a joint every few ten meters and having branches lying horizontally and vertically. This has to be the vertebrae of some monster! And look at those branches, aren’t they the ribs?

And to be able to grow up so huge that I traveled five kilometers without seeing the head or tail, what else can it be aside from a legendary Mega Dragon?

A Mega Dragon skeletal frame! Fatty went wild with joy. He never thought Karl’s words were real, that this place truly contained the Mega Dragon skeleton.
