380 The Skeleton of A Dragon Part 2 (1/2)

”There is a dragon skeleton outside,” Banchajanna knew that he could not hide so he spat out the truth.

”Dragon skeleton?” Saleen knew that a dragon exoskeleton was the shedded skin of a dragon. The sea depth was more than two thousand meters, which was two miles. The pressure was strong and the sea water was strongly corrosive. A dragon skeleton that was in the sea for more than a hundred years would be fragile. This was not the dragon dimension and if it did not have anywhere to go before it died, its dragonshard would be eaten by powerful magic beasts.

Magic beasts that swallow a dragonshard would normally die of explosion of their bodies, but a minority of them would mutate. Regardless of the circumstances, if the dragon skeleton before his eyes was more than ten years old, the quality would have dropped to the standard of a normal magic beast. If it was more than fifty years old, there was no need to retrieve it. If it was more than a hundred years old, even the dragon horns would have corroded.

It was not weird to see a dragon's skeleton in a place that was filled with grade-8 or grade-9 magic beasts. After the dragon was captured by human beings to be released on the Myers Mainland dimension back then, it was not restricted. The Dragon could fly well and live in any tough environment. Places like the Oceanic Ice Block were not dangerous to a dragon, but were rich with plentiful food.

After the dragon died, if it did not have a special hidden place, its skeleton would turn into other magic beasts' snacks. That was the Myers Mainland, the dragon was at the top of the food chain, but it lost its dignity after it died.

The one before their eyes was weird, Saleen took a thorough look. The crack on Banchajanna's forehead was not serious, but taking in consideration of the fact that Banchajanna's skull was harder than magic nucleus, that one attack was tough. If it was the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat, it might be a one foot deep crack.

”Is it that the spirit of the dragon has yet to dissipate?” Saleen asked casually. Banchajanna shook his head. If the spirit of the dragon had yet to dissipate, he would be extremely careful. He, as a spirit of the death, was extremely sensitive towards spirits and especially the strong ones.

”Soldier, do not go close. Send the bone spirits to look into it.” Saleen said carefully. There were not any magic beasts around the area and the bottom of the sea was filled with sand rocks, so there was not even a plant with weak magic. That kind of situation was similar to the surrounding of the lightning dragon's nest, all kinds of life needed to stay away.

The bone spirits were death creatures that could be grown from the death pool everyday, their level would not be too high. Any high level spirit pool would not be able to breed any stronger bone spirits. The bone spirits had all the characteristics of a death creature. They were the best to send for probing.

A few bone spirits that were like lizards went out from the head of the ship and went forward along the sand and rocks on the seabed. Saleen did not ask the winged skeleton to use the eyes of the dead because it would cause energy ripples if it were to extend its examination distance and that would reveal the ship.

The image transferred by the bone spirits was monotonous, but it could roughly put together the target that Saleen wanted. The skeleton of the dragon was complete, which was rare in the Oceanic Ice Block. There were lives all over the sea, from a normal magic beast that had no level to magic beasts up to grade-9. A lot of magic beasts that specifically ate dead bodies to survive; flesh, blood, and also the bones.

The skeleton of the dragon was hard, common magic beasts would not be able to eat it, but there were some small creature that were not able to be seen with the naked eye but had magic. They would slowly decompose the skeleton of the dragon and turn it into nutrients required by these small creatures. Any tough skeletons that went through long periods of corrosion and decomposition would turn soft.

Finding a set of magic beast's skeleton on land, even after decades, one would gain a small fortune. In the sea, if it was not a fresh skeleton, it had basically no value.

The set of skeleton before his eyes was not. The bone spirit was too small and it required images transferred from more than twenty bone spirits to piece together the entirety of the dragon's skeleton. The skeleton of the dragon was about two hundred meters long, most likely tens of thousands of years old. The horns on its head were extremely sharp. What was weird was, there were not any branches on the horns and they looked like two bended spears. The eyes of the dragon was missing from the eye sockets. The legend said that if a dragon lived more than five thousand years, the dragon eyes would be a treasures, they would be indestructible like a dragonshard.

Below the skeleton, there were three pairs of thick and strong thigh bones. At the ending of thigh bones, the dragon claw sunk into the sand rocks, not showing the number of toes. A pure blooded dragon was like a human, it had five toes. Saleen was convinced, even if it was a tiago dragon, it was not considered as pure blood lineage as it was found by human beings at the south sea. It was severely injured, so it would not be considered the strongest dragon. The skeleton of the dragon had another six legs!

That bloodline could only be found in the dragon dimension and dragons that were captured in the dragon dimension and brought to the Myers Mainland. All dragons with four legs after the second generation. This dragon skeleton was unexpectedly left behind by the first generation dragon.

No wonder Banchajanna was convinced too. If there was only one bone that was not damaged, it could be used to make an extremely good equipment. Even a tiago dragon was not its match. The only pity was that the dragon skeleton would not stay long underwater as there were many shell parasites on the dragon bones. Even if it was not damaged, the spirit within the dragon skeleton would be gone, leaving the tough material that the small creatures could not decompose behind.

If the dragon spirituality was within, it could be easily made into a semi godly item.

Just when he was thinking, there were two thread of black light like swordlight that stroked into the bodies of two bone spirits from inside the dragon's skull. The two bone spirits twitched and turned into a cloud of mist and dispersed along the wave.
