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

Fatty was currently several kilometers underground, which was only possible thanks to Wheat’s Earthwalk. Fatty himself could only see the area of several meters in front of him, so he hadn't realized that it was a skeleton, otherwise, he could have told at the first glance since only Mega Dragons could possess such a massive skeleton.

“Damn it! How do I take it with me?” As the joy passed, Fatty started to fret. If this was on the ground, he could break it up into small parts and put in his inventory, but digging this out was simply an impossible task. It’d take forever.

As Fatty followed the bones, he soon arrived at a crack, through which he entered some kind of space.

This space was roughly the size of several houses combined. Obviously, this was the skull of the skeleton. The soil didn’t fill it and left this space empty.

Upon entering, Fatty’s eyes were instantly caught by the glitter at the center, where several eggs lay around some kind of round object.

Holy Unicorn eggs.

Now that was easy. Amedick was really smart, it actually placed the eggs inside the Mega Dragon’s skull.

Fatty counted. There were ten in total. In the center of the ten eggs, the round orb that was over one meter in diameter was shining with a glossy green color, the green energy light converged and formed an image of a flying Mega Dragon above the orb.

“Mega Dragon inner core!” Fatty practically growled. Now, this is the real harvest, this one alone is better than a hundred high-rank Yao inner cores!

The mini dragon exhaled a faint green light from its mouth on the ten eggs around, obviously transferring energy to maintain the eggs’ life force.

“In.” Fatty stepped forth and swung his arm, the ten eggs disappeared one by one into his inventory.

The last was the mega dragon inner core. After the mini dragon turned into green smoke that merged back into the core, Fatty retrieved it.

“Alright, mission accomplished!” Fatty cheered in high spirits. As long as he hatched these eggs and cleared out Sky City, the mission would be completed, and Sky City would be his to control.

This mission was quite easy, actually.

After pocketing the Holy Unicorn eggs and Mega Dragon inner core, Fatty set his eyes on the skeleton. However, it was truly too big. Unless he chopped it into pieces, it would be impossible to take it with him.

“Argghhh!” Fatty screamed in frustration. The treasure was right here before his eyes, yet he had no way to pick it up, like a beggar who could only stand and gawk at a mountain of gold in front of him. There was nothing more vexing than this.

“Forget it. If I can’t take it then I can’t take it. Worst comes to worst, I’ll tell Karl to come grab it himself.” Fatty made up his mind.

Just like Karl said, this place must be the burial site back when the Mega Dragons still lived here. However, after they migrated, the area became deserted, plus with the Holy Spirit Island above it, outsiders could never imagine that this place would hold the skeletons of dragons. If it hadn’t been for his quest for the eggs, Fatty basically wouldn’t have been able to find this place and instead would have doubted the authenticity of Karl’s information.

Since he decided to give up on the skeleton, Fatty began to wander around the skull. If this place used to be the burial site, there should be some other burial objects aside from just the skeletons.

“Go, let’s go treasure hunting with Lord Fatty.” Fatty got on Wheat and once again sank into the soil.

This time, Fatty didn’t limit his way with the bones. Instead, he roamed without a clear direction. Traveling an unknown distance, he came across another skeleton.

After five days, Fatty confirmed that the place held nine Mega Dragon skeletons. Accordingly, he gained nine inner cores.

“The dragon burial site indeed isn’t simple.” Fatty held a sheet of paper on which was a rough sketch of the structure that he drew himself. From the picture, the nine skulls were all flocked in a circle, their tails facing outwards as if protecting or paying homage to something in the center.

“Since you guys have been dead for so many years, just let Lord Fatty make good use of your stuff.”

Fatty spurred Wheat to Earthwalk. This time, they had a target - the place where the nine dragons met.

If it was possible to view from above these skeletons, one could see nine gigantic mountain-sized dragons prostrating with their heads inwards and their tails outwards. In the center where the heads met, there was a massive, slowly spinning orb over one hundred meters in diameter.

“What’s this?” Fatty walked a circle around the orb without figuring out what it was. Even his trusted Appraisal was useless as everything it displayed were just question marks.

The orb was golden in color, with some kind of chaotic airflow circulating inside. The nine dragon heads bowed low, as if extremely respectful of this orb.

Fatty extended his hand. The orb was cool to the touch and didn’t react.

Kah… All of a sudden, a noise resounded. Right behind Fatty, the dead-for-God-knows-many-years dragon whose inner core was taken by Fatty shuddered, and black flames flared in its empty eye sockets.

“@#￥%……” a voice echoed by Fatty’s ears. He frantically retreated and instinctively prepared to use Earthwalk to flee.
