Dragon Valley (6)

Tang Wulin felt a surge of surprise when he learned that such a thing existed in the Star Luo Empire. But he soon calmed down. Dragon Valley had been around for a long time, and it was not impossible for someone to create such a device.

He nodded in agreement with Dai Yun'er's suggestion to try to last for three months. He did not want to be kicked out of the Fighting Soul Hall.

The two of them rested for a while. As soul masters, they could recover much faster than ordinary people. Tang Wulin looked at Dai Yun'er, who was full of energy again, and sighed inwardly. He was glad that he had a companion, otherwise the journey would have been too dull.

Dai Yun'er shared Tang Wulin's sentiments. She had a lively personality and enjoyed having someone to talk to. She was also somewhat grateful to Tang Wulin. If he had not provided her with food, she might not have been able to endure. She had not brought any food with her when she entered.

Just as Tang Wulin had guessed, some of the Tang Sect disciples could not hold on after ten days. They were all natives of the Star Luo Empire, unlike Tang Wulin.

They knew more or less about the small world of Dragon Valley, and they had not prepared enough food for the three-month mission.

But they did not expect that Dragon Valley would undergo such a change. There was no record of such an event in the Tang Sect's archives.

As soon as the anomaly occurred, they had the same idea as Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er: to find out whether the source of the change was the legendary Dragon Tomb.

The true dragon soul bone was a great temptation for soul masters. Even if the cause of the mutation was not the Dragon Tomb, as long as they could discover it, the Tang Sect would reward them generously.

There were also some soul masters who had never heard of the Dragon Tomb. They did not want to leave so soon, either. They followed the direction where dragon clouds and Dragon Soul had gone.

The Tang Sect had asked them to stay here for three months. Without enough food, it was impossible for them to last that long. They could only hope to catch up with the dragon souls and dragon clouds.

But they were no match for dragon clouds's speed, and soon the first person activated the prop that they had received before entering. A flash of light appeared, and a figure materialized on the top of the mountain where they had entered.

Hei Yi, who had brought them here, was not pleased to see that someone had come out so soon. He quickly noticed that the person who came out was extremely weak, and he went over to inspect him.

He found that the man had no injuries. The reason why he was so weak was because he was starving. He frowned and said coldly, "Bai Shi, what's wrong with you? Why did you come out so soon?"

He was a bit angry, and he used his soul power when he spoke. Bai Shi felt a tremendous pressure, knowing that he was only a soul sect.

But he was also one of the elite young disciples of the Tang Sect, and Hei Yi only exerted a slight coercion, considering his cultivation level. He quickly composed himself and told him what had happened in Dragon Valley.

Heiyi's expression changed when he heard about the accident in Dragon Valley. He took out some food from his storage prop and gave it to Bai Shi. He knew that the whole Dragon Valley was in trouble, and Bai Shi was not the only one who suffered. He told him not to wander around, and to share the food with anyone else who came out. Then he left in a hurry. This was not something he could handle.

He soon arrived at the old man's residence at the entrance of Guardian Dragon Valley and knocked respectfully. After getting permission, he quickly entered and reported what Bai Shi had told him.

He did not doubt Bai Shi's words. He knew that Bai Shi was afraid of being expelled from the Fighting Soul Hall. He also knew the situation in Dragon Valley. Bai Shi could not have lasted for such a short time without trying hard.

Besides, Bai Shi was the leader of the younger generation of the Tang Sect. He had reached a high level of cultivation, and he would not miss the chance to improve his strength.

The hunchbacked old man was alarmed by Heiyi's report. He swiftly dragged Heiyi back to the top of the mountain. By the time they got there, several more people had come out.

The old man checked the stability of the passage and the light pattern that maintained it. He breathed a sigh of relief. There was nothing wrong with the passage, which meant that the small world of Dragon Valley was still intact.

Heiyi asked respectfully, "Is there something wrong with the Dragon Tomb? The only thing that can attract those dragon souls is a higher-level dragon soul, and those are only found in the Dragon Tomb."

The old man's eyes lit up. He thought that Heiyi's guess was plausible. He said, "Dragon Tomb? That makes sense. Only the real dragons in the Dragon Tomb can draw so many dragon souls. It must be related to the dragon soul."

"If it is really because of the Dragon Tomb, I hope that someone can be lucky enough to find it. Even if they don't have the same fortune as the Tang Sect seniors, they can at least locate the Dragon Tomb for our Tang Sect. That would be great."

Heiyi nodded. The true dragon soul bone was a great treasure for soul masters. Even if no one could get the soul bone this time, as long as they could confirm the location of the Dragon Tomb, they could leave clues for the future generations. It would benefit the Tang Sect in cultivating more powerful soul masters.

As they were talking, more people teleported out of the Dragon Valley. The number of people who came out increased, and they all gave up because they could not endure.

The old man lost his hope of finding the exact location of the Dragon Tomb, but he was glad that they could narrow down the area. He decided to ask the participants to bring more food next time, so that they could have a better chance of finding it.

But Heiyi had a different thought. He remembered that Tang Wulin had bought a lot of food before they entered. With that much food, he could last for a long time. He did not see Tang Wulin among the people who came out. He wondered where he was.

He was also somewhat glad that he had paired Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er together. With Dai Yun'er by his side, even if Tang Wulin wanted to hide the location of the Dragon Tomb, Dai Yun'er would surely tell him.

Days passed by, and Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er were the only Tang Sect members left in Dragon Valley. The others had given up and returned, escorted by Hei Yi.

As Tang Wulin had guessed, the early returnees were not punished for their failure. Instead, they were rewarded for providing some information about the map of Dragon Valley.

The old man was aware of Dai Yun'er and Tang Wulin's identities. He asked with some concern, "Will anything happen to the two who are still inside?"

Hei Yi shook his head slightly and said, "I don't think so. You don't know this, but Tang Wulin brought a lot of food with him. It's not surprising that they can last for so long."

The old man did not say anything more. He knew that Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er were the future leaders of their Tang Sect. They were both talented and extraordinary. One was a genius student from Shrek Academy, and the other was the little princess of the Star Luo Empire. He hoped that nothing would go wrong with either of them in their Tang Sect.

While the old man and Hei Yi waited, Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er reached the edge of the valley where the Dragon Tomb was located.
