TTW Chapter 144: Dragon Corpses

Early the next morning, the group set sail again.

The final stretch was a snowy mountain. Once they climbed over it, they would be behind the lair of the Black Dragon.

"Hurry up, Salted Fish! Stop dragging us down. We're almost there, push harder!" Barnac shouted in frustration.

The team was moving slowly because they had to take care of Lambert.

Lambert was actually in good physical shape, but compared to the freaks in the team, he was far behind.

Moreover, they had been traveling non-stop, day and night.

"I can't feel my legs anymore," Lambert said weakly, but he gritted his teeth and sped up a bit.

After walking for half a day, they climbed over a snowy mountain and reached the end of the road, only to be faced with a towering snow-clad cliff. Looking up, the top was nowhere in sight.

"My God, how are we going to climb over this?" Faced with such peril, even the Mercenary King Barnac wasn't sure he could climb it barehanded.

"Is the entrance really here, Gerain? Did you get it wrong?"

Karacule also frowned slightly.

"It shouldn't be wrong. The map passed down through elf generations also shows the entrance here," Geraint shook his head. Although he found the snowy cliff daunting, he chose to trust the map's indication.

"We should keep looking."

Upon hearing this, everyone got into action. Lin Yi pretended to search for a while, then turned his gaze to Geraint.

He knew Geraint could find the exit, so he didn't want to waste effort.

"Geraint, you said the power of the Black Dragon Gem is evil. Isn't there a way to channel this power for good?" Velskud asked as he searched for the exit.

Through their time together, he had become increasingly suspicious of Geraint, who seemed to know too much about the dragons. He had privately approached Lin Yi about this, but Lin Yi didn't seem concerned.

"Velskud, I know what you're thinking, but if you understood the evil of the Black Dragon Gem, you'd stay away from it," Geraint shook his head, "No matter your original intentions, once you come into contact with the Black Dragon Gem, it will steer you away from righteousness."

"No, Geraint, being influenced by the Black Dragon Gem is just a result of the user being too weak," Lin Yi, who had been silent all along, suddenly interjected.

Geraint thought Lin Yi was also coveting the power of the Black Dragon Gemstone and wanted to warn him. However, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest, an instinct from the dragon clan's aura.

"Sigh... I found the entrance, it's right here."

Geraint excitedly ran to the snow wall and simply brushed off the snow with his hands.

"Leave such heavy work to me." Karacule stopped Geraint, waving her wand and instantly casting a fire spell.

The fireball hit the snow wall, melting a lot of the snow and causing chunks of ice to fall.

In front of everyone, they saw a peculiar symbol with three intertwined dragons.

"The Battle of the Three Dragons, the legendary symbol of the dragon clan."

Nerwin recognized it.

"There seems to be some power sealed here, ancient, evil, and immortal power." As a high priestess, Karacule could also vaguely feel the immense energy within.

"Immortal? Besides elves, what else could live forever?" The carefree Lambert joked.

Before he could finish, Lin Yi punched him in the head, causing him to cry out in pain.

But Lin Yi already withdrew his hand.

"Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense again." Barnac chuckled.

"But how do we open this place?"

Karacule frowned. With her magical prowess, she couldn't break the seal.

Only Geraint suddenly stepped forward and placed his hand on the Battle of the Three Dragons symbol.

The next moment, a change occurred.

With a series of rumbling noises, the massive snow wall, hundreds of meters tall, began to shake. A crack appeared, splitting the snow wall in half, a truly majestic sight.

"This...this... Geraint, how did you do it?"

Karacule was too stunned to speak.

"I don't know, I just happened to press the switch on the wall," Geraint casually explained.

Lin Yi chuckled lightly, not commenting.

To unlock the seal of the Battle of the Three Dragons, one had to belong to the dragon clan and use the unique power of the dragons to break the seal.

"But this..." Karacule wanted to exclaim, but was interrupted by Geraint.

"Let's go, we don't have much time. We must reach our destination before the night of the new moon."

Hearing this, the others didn't linger, focusing on their primary mission of slaying the dragon...

As they entered the glacier, the snow wall behind them rumbled again, merging back together and sealing the entrance.

"This place is too scary."

Barnac looked around and couldn't help but complain.

The massive glacier, surrounded by towering ice spikes and translucent ice walls, was oppressive and suffocating.

Anyone with a weak heart might be easily terrified here.

"But don't you think it's beautiful here?"

Liya disagreed.

All the way, Lin Yi observed that many dragon corpses were sealed within the ice walls.

Ancient dragons, Chaos dragons, Shadow dragons. Each dragon's body was immense and powerful.

The dragons sealed here weren't truly dead but had lost their souls.

In this world, dragons are immortal. Perhaps, in a few hundred years, someone will awaken them.

He could distinctly feel Jörmungandr's excitement.

However, the incredibly thick ice walls would be difficult to break through, even with all his strength.

Lin Yi's gaze shifted to Geraint.

Besides the Black Dragon, Geraint and Argenta were the only two dragons left in the Altera continent. Only they could unlock the seal here.

Since Argenta would eventually be his, and Geraint would be his brother-in-law, shouldn't he also have a share of the dragon heritage?

While Lin Yi was lost in thought, a magic orb suddenly flew towards them. Lin Yi quickly grabbed Argenta and Liya and dodged.

The explosion caused an avalanche, and everyone was caught off guard, scrambling to escape.

Looking up at the sky from where the attack came, they saw strange creatures riding dragon-like beings, holding skull-headed staffs. Their numbers increased as they circled in the sky.

"They are the guardians of the Dragon Sacred Land. We've been discovered, run!"

Velskud shouted.

Lin Yi could have fought back, but hesitated and withdrew, following the others towards the exit.
