Dragon Tamer - Chapter 984

Chapter 984: Chapter 988 Live Dragon Specimen Chapter 984: Chapter 988 Live Dragon Specimen However, the Snake Emperor was connected to the entire palace ceiling, and when He Yiling tore at it, it was like an organ growing inside a human body, a large swath of red blood sprayed out!

He Yiling simply went on a frenzy of chopping, destroying everything here.

Along with the eerie Liuli Snake Emperor, He Yiling chopped it into countless pieces, and at the same time, she saw a special quartz orb fall down. She picked up the quartz orb just as the head of the Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake collapsed and then flew out of its skull!

The terrifying Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake was disintegrating, like rows of palaces collapsing, the scene was spectacular and frightening. Eventually, the Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake lost all its vitality and became a pile of rubble falling on the wide land.

He Yiling flew to the high rampart and handed over the quartz orb to Zhu Minglang to look at.

“What is this?” He Yiling asked.

“It’s a Key Seal. There’s a shortcut to the Mo Family Fortress over there; we’ll need this Key Seal to open it,” Zhu Minglang said.

“This Mo Family Tower really is terrifying; we are only at the bottom level of the entire Sky Pavilion, and we’ve already encountered such a tough Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake,” He Yiling said.

“Miss Yiling, actually, they designed this mechanism to help people find an exit to escape, not for someone who breaks in to destroy the Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake. We were just using too much force,” Zhu Minglang said with a smile to He Yiling.

This terrain, this mechanism, was intended to make the people who entered here go on a run for their lives. The Long Hall Giant Mechanical Snake was too powerful, so powerful that it was impossible for anyone below the level of a god to contend with it through force.

Of course, the people of the Mo Family enjoyed such scenes. To let the intruders experience more of their meticulously designed murderous mechanisms, they would not kill those who first entered here outright. Thus, on the high rampart, there was a panel of paintings, and the painting was of an immense snake whose eyes were also a secret passage for escape.

At the same time, there were some frescoes on the pillars and domes of the eleven Long Halls, all hinting that there was a way to escape.

The goal of the Mo Family people was to make the intruders find this secret escape route in the shortest time possible; if they couldn’t find it, they would surely be killed by the Long Hall Mechanical Snake–a foe that was invincible in this place!

“Such evil things, the more we get rid of the better,” He Yiling said.

“The thing to fear is that there are too many Mechanical Beasts of this caliber within the entire Sky Pavilion. We haven’t even found those core individuals yet, and we’re already exhausted by these creatures,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Brother Zhu is right. Actually, we don’t need to waste too much time on these mechanisms. Finding the Mo Family Fortress and rooting out the God’s Descendants of the Mo Family who created these harmful mechanisms is the key,” He Haohan stepped forward, fully agreeing with Zhu Minglang’s statement.

“Let’s go. This shortcut should allow us to avoid the tedious mechanism mazes of the Disciples of the Mo Family… But with the death of the Long Hall Mechanical Snake, they will definitely know that a powerful invader has entered, and they will not be tender-hearted towards us either. The mechanisms we will face next will not be ordinary ones,” Zhu Minglang said.

…

Having opened the secret shortcut, it was a narrow path that wound upwards from the inside of the entire mountain range, the dark path flanked by cold, icy rock, with the occasional flicker of light ahead, the very primitive light of torches.

The cavernous path within the mountain was long and seemed untouched by man, like a remote limestone cave.

But this was an illusion; as they ascended to higher ground, the cave gradually showed signs of human craftsmanship, with stone bricks laid beneath their feet and carvings etched into the cave walls…

As they walked on, the space ahead opened up widely, and the four of them entered a uniquely enclosed stone cave, which was immensely vast, its height exceeding fifty meters.

They lit several rock platform candles, and the firelight quickly filled the dim cave, revealing the fierce and ferocious visage of a Dragon Beast. This startled He Yiling, who was leading the way, causing her to reflexively draw her twin blades.

However, despite looking terrifying, the Dragon Beast was devoid of any trace of life.

It seemed alive, but who knew how many years it had been fixed in place, merging with the surrounding stalactites and the rugged rock formations!

“It’s a living statue,” He Haohan said. “I had heard that the people of Heavenly Pavilion City capture some ancient and rare Dragons to drain their Dragon Blood and scoop out their flesh. Then, they fill their insides with minerals that can replenish mystical sources to create these Dragon specimens.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Minglang’s expression darkened.

If the people of the Mo Family from Sky Pavilion dared to treat his Xuanlong like this, he wouldn’t mind turning these beasts into living statues themselves, ensuring that they appeared as lifelike as possible in their death!

They continued to ascend to even higher areas, one after the other revealing caves filled with Dragon Skin specimens. The majority of these Dragon Beasts were rare and precious species, all invariably drained of blood and gutted, leaving only skeletons and skin layers, then transformed with a multitude of mechanisms…

As a Dragon Shepherd, Zhu Minglang found such a sight deeply chilling and enraging.

Thinking that his Xuanlong might have suffered such slaughter and been used in this way, Zhu Minglang felt an even stronger hatred towards the Mo Family of Heavenly Pavilion!

Along the lengthy cavernous path, there were at least a thousand living Dragon statues, displayed like collectibles within the dark and lengthy corridor.

Finally, they reached the exit, but instead of seeing the Mo Family Fortress, they found themselves standing in the midst of a Puppet City.

This was a city built from black rocks, suspended high above the ground, with many bizarre buildings within it, and the streets were lined with innumerable people who were not truly alive; they were all puppets.

These puppets, just like ordinary people, were engaged in various activities – some were selling fruits and vegetables, some were rushing about, some were carrying sedan chairs, and others drove Beasts…

They were lively and unique, yet there was an indescribable eeriness about them. They were clearly inanimate and poised as though engaging in activities, but whenever one walked past them, it felt as though they were being watched!

Apart from human-shaped puppets, the entire Puppet City was also filled with all sorts of Dragon Beasts–some enormous fossil skeletons, fitted with thick mechanical armor, and others, living Dragon specimens…

“The skin on these puppets, it seems like human skin,” Cai You said, touching a puppet casually and speaking in a hushed voice.

“It’s probably the skin of those killed by the traps, whose bodies were relatively intact and have been flayed to create the Human Skin Puppets for this city. The people of the Mo Family are truly depraved!” He Haohan remarked.

“These people, they indeed deserve to die,” Zhu Minglang knew, it was time for him to exercise the divine authority of retribution!
