Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

Chapter 127: Dragon bones found in the depths of the spring

"Huh? Why is the spring water boiling?" Dugu Bo asked in confusion when he saw the spring water in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire boiling.

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao smiled calmly. Now, he seemed to have found a way to activate the dragon claw.

"What's wrong with you? What are you laughing at?" Dugu Bo looked at Cheng Xiao who suddenly laughed, a little confused, but soon, he glanced at the boiling spring water, and then looked at the glowing dragon claw in Cheng Xiao's hand, and in an instant, he understood something.

"You little brat, you're not planning to enter this spring, are you?" Dugu Bo exclaimed, "I can't even get close to this spring, if you jump in like this, aren't you courting death?"

Cheng Xiao said: "Don't worry, I know my limits, nothing will happen."

"No, this is too dangerous. I don't agree." Dugu Bo refused verbally. In his opinion, even a Titled Douluo like him didn't dare to get too close to the spring water of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. Cheng Xiao, a Soul Sect master, was simply looking for death!
"Opportunities come with risks, old man, let me try. Perhaps, this is my opportunity." Cheng Xiao looked at Dugu Bo with a firm face and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Dugu Bo sighed helplessly, spread his hands, and said: "I understand, I will leave here later. Since this is an opportunity, you should seize it well."

"Remember, if it really doesn't work, just give up. Sometimes, giving up an opportunity is not a bad thing. At least you are still alive and have a chance."

After saying this, Dugu Bo suddenly jumped up. At his level, he could already fly by his own strength.

As Dugu Bo walked away, his clear voice fell again, "Cheng Xiao, I believe you will not do anything without confidence. I will wait for you in Tiandou City. You must come."

Looking at Dugu Bo who disappeared into the sky, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but shook his head, and then quickly came to the center of the Yin-Yang Eyes Ice Spring and Fire Spring. He looked down at the dragon claw in his hand and murmured, "The dragon claw seemed to have been affected by something some time ago, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I thought it was because of the Shadow King."

"Now it seems that I have no choice but to explore this Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire."

Having made up his mind, Cheng Xiao's eyes gradually became firm. He looked down at the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire that were churning, and a solemn look flashed across his face.

He had no idea how deep the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire were, and the boiling surface of the spring made him retreat.

The originally calm spring water was not something that a soul master could touch. Now it was boiling. If one wanted to go deeper into it, one must have an extremely powerful force. Moreover, one must be able to resist the erosion of two temperatures at the same time.

It was difficult for Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, to sneak into the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, let alone an ordinary soul master. If he tried to force his way in, he would be reduced to nothing in a moment.

However, there are exceptions to everything. Cheng Xiao noticed two magic herbs growing beside the spring. Fortunately, his cheap teacher told him how to pick the magic herbs before leaving. So, Cheng Xiao planned to take the two magic herbs at the same time and then jump directly into the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire to resist the erosion of the ice and fire spring water.

He did what he said. Since he knew how to pick them, Cheng Xiao quickly got the two magic herbs. Then, he stood beside the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire in silence for a while, then swallowed the two magic herbs and jumped down with the Dragon Claw.

With a plop, Cheng Xiao's body suddenly plunged into the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. Suddenly, the surface of the spring water churned, and the ice spring and fire spring, which had been at peace, suddenly began to spin at this moment.

Spinning like a whirlpool, the spring water in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire continued to boil, the ice spring and the fire spring intertwined together, a wisp of black smoke emerged from it, gradually covering the entire spring eye.

After entering the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, Cheng Xiao discovered that the spring water was strange, but he had already eaten two immortal herbs and there was no turning back. Two violent energies ran rampant in his body, making his body half red and half blue, like a real man of ice and fire.

Cheng Xiao used the power of shadow to calm the two extreme temperatures in his body. The pain in his body made his face look a little grim. Fortunately, the blessing of the great wizard allowed his body to continue to repair itself, so he was safe and sound.

It was dark at the bottom of the lake, but with the two magic herbs and the blessing of the great wizard, Cheng Xiao could move freely, albeit slowly.

His eyes scanned the surroundings, and a layer of purple spread deep into his pupils, before he slowly swam towards the depths.

Deep in the spring, two scenes, one red and one icy blue, appeared extremely strange. In this strange scene, a black figure was slowly diving.

Since the great wizard's blessing could make Cheng Xiao's body immune to any negative state, the extreme cold and temperature energies of the two magical herbs were quickly neutralized. In addition, with the buff of quickly repairing the body, Cheng Xiao could only experience the pain of his body being torn apart and then reassembled while his mind was clear.

This was also the main reason why he dived slowly. Just ask yourself, who can endure the heart-wrenching pain in two extreme temperatures while looking for things with a clear mind? If one can do it, he can be called a superman.

After diving for an unknown amount of time, Cheng Xiao's body came to a stop. With his current condition, there was no problem for him to continue going down, but the key was that he didn't know when he would reach the bottom. The Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire gave people the feeling of a bottomless pit. The deeper he dived, the less he knew when he would reach the bottom.

With a slight twitch on his face, Cheng Xiao looked at the strange scene around him that was sometimes red and sometimes blue. After thinking carefully for a while, he decided to continue diving. If he couldn't find anything that caused the dragon claw reaction, then this diving trip would end here.

…………

His body was constantly shuttling through the spring water that was switching between red and blue. Cheng Xiao's expression had gradually calmed down from the ferocious look at the beginning. At this moment, he clearly felt that his body had gradually adapted to the pain, and the medicinal power of the two magic herbs had also been released. Now, he was swimming in the spring water like a fish in water.

As he continued to dive, Cheng Xiao was speechless. The depth of this broken place was simply unfathomable. He had been diving for such a long time, at least several hours. Although the speed was slow, it shouldn't be impossible to never reach the bottom, right?
And, most importantly, the dragon claw in his arms was still emitting a faint light, as if it had sensed something. This forced Cheng Xiao to give up the idea of ​​giving up and continue diving.

Another ten minutes passed.

"Finally found it. No wonder the dragon claw had such a response. It turns out that it encountered a fellow of its own kind." The darkness in front of him gradually brightened, and a vortex halo emitting a faint light emerged. In that vortex halo, there was nothing else but two dragon-shaped phantoms made up of pure energy. They were less than ten feet long, but the layers of dragon scales, crystal clear dragon horns, and the flowing and agile dragon whiskers all proved to Cheng Xiao how powerful they were when they were alive.

A flash of shock flashed across his eyes. Cheng Xiao recognized that the two dragon-shaped phantoms in front of him had all the detailed features that a dragon should have. No wonder the dragon claws could sense them.

Two dragon-shaped phantom souls made of energy swam slowly in the vortex of light deep in the darkness like fish. Only where they passed were there a few faint lights.

With a smile on his lips, Cheng Xiao leaped into the vortex light circle. As he entered, the light emanating from the dragon claws in his arms gradually became stronger until it illuminated part of the scene inside.

Unlike the imagined lake bottom, there are endless stretches of majestic rocks, shaped like overlapping mountains. But when Cheng Xiao saw the scene clearly, he found that it was not rocks at all, but the spine of a huge monster, with hideous, jagged bone spurs protruding on it.

"It seems that they were very powerful when they were alive. I just don't know how strong they are compared to the Dragon Emperor's Light Dragon Legion." Cheng Xiao couldn't help but think as he looked at the layers of scales covering the giant beast in front of him.

The two dragons were extremely huge, roughly estimated to be about a hundred meters long. They were crawling there quietly, lifeless and as desolate as two stone statues inherited from ancient times. However, they still retained an almost suffocating might. But in Cheng Xiao's eyes, they were just two shadow soldiers at the level of legion commanders!

If he could turn it into a shadow soldier, why would he still go to the market? Whoever came would be slapped in the face, right?

At this moment, Cheng Xiao's eyes turned red, his brain felt dizzy, and even his breathing became heavy and rapid. He walked forward and wanted to perform shadow summoning, but at this moment, two dragon souls suddenly flew out from the originally withered dragon bones, as if they were provoked by something, and swam towards him with a mighty dragon.

Just a glance, Cheng Xiao's hairs stood up suddenly. He saw a bright pillar of magma coming out of the mouth of the red dragon soul, and a vortex of ice containing sharp broken ice condensed in front of the ice-blue dragon soul, attacking Cheng Xiao who was holding the dragon claw.

Cheng Xiao was delighted. It seemed that these two dragon souls were the remaining energy bodies of the giant dragon. If there were only dragon bones, the shadow summoning might fail, but with the dragon souls, that might not be the case.

A body that has lost its soul cannot be recalled to the world after a long time, but it is different for a body with a soul.

Facing the violent attacks of the two dragon souls, Cheng Xiao raised his palm, slightly bent his five fingers, and an energy barrier immediately protected him, while the hot lava columns and ice vortexes were blocked by the energy barrier.

The next moment, the dragon claw in Cheng Xiao's arms actually flew into the air, and the violent attacks of the two dragon souls were actually absorbed by it. As the energy was absorbed, the dragon claw did not retreat but advanced, and rushed straight towards the two dragon souls.

Looking at the posture, it seems as if he has encountered some delicious meal.

At the moment when Cheng Xiao was stunned, the two dragon souls, one red and one blue, also sensed the power of the dragon claw and immediately ran away without any of their previous ferocious arrogance. The two dragon souls made shrill cries and their tails swung behind them, fearing that they would be caught by the dragon claw.

"Awesome!" Seeing this scene, Cheng Xiao gave a thumbs up. He thought it would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect such a magical scene to happen.

But then, Cheng Xiao reacted. The dragon claw absorbed the energy of two dragon souls. If the dragon claw absorbed all the energy of the dragon souls, how could he use shadow summoning?

Then, a strange scene appeared. The dragon claw was chasing the two dragon souls, and behind the dragon claw was a black shadow flying rapidly. It was clear that if it ran away, it would chase it, and it would also chase it, and none of them could escape even if they had wings.

…………

Soon, the two dragon souls, one icy blue and one scarlet red, were forced into a corner by the dragon claw, and Cheng Xiao followed closely behind the dragon claw, fearing that the two giant dragon souls would be swallowed by it in the next second.

"Damn, this dragon claw is running quite fast. There is obviously no one driving it, but why do I act like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman after encountering the dragon claw?" Cheng Xiao was also very nervous looking at the stopped dragon claw.

"Roar!"

The two dragon souls roared at the same time. Cheng Xiao had no idea what the two dragon souls wanted to express. He glanced around and saw that the dragon claw had appeared above the dragon soul at some point. The next moment, the dragon claw slapped down in horror, and the originally peaceful world at the bottom of the lake suddenly changed drastically.

Seeing this scene in front of them, the two dragon souls were suddenly startled. The red dragon soul opened its mouth quickly. As its mouth opened, the surrounding energy was immediately mobilized.

The next moment, the blazing dragon breath in the crimson dragon soul's mouth quickly condensed, and then, an extremely thick and hot dragon breath spurted out from the crimson dragon soul's mouth, shooting towards the dragon claws that were constantly pressing down on its head.

Seeing this, the ice-blue dragon soul on the side also condensed the power of extreme cold. Different from the red dragon breath, the extremely cold dragon breath suddenly spurted out. The two horrible dragon breaths, one red and one blue, desperately resisted the huge dragon claws that kept pressing down.

Looking at this scene, Cheng Xiao immediately stepped back. His speed was so fast that he disappeared from the place in the blink of an eye.

Just as Cheng Xiao retreated, a shocking explosion sounded at the bottom of the spring of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

The energy that could destroy the world spread out from the bottom of the spring, and at this moment, bursts of dragon power resounded throughout this empty space.

The scorching fire waves and the extremely cold whirlpool completely enveloped the huge dragon claw. The seemingly huge and indestructible dragon corpse shattered at this moment, and the huge dragon claw also revealed its true face at this moment.

With a loud bang, the giant claw shattered, a red light floated out, and then it stopped there.

From a distance, it was a giant dragon. Its huge body was even bigger than the shattered dragon corpse, and its entire body was burning, like a moving volcano.

The giant dragon slowly opened its scarlet eyes. It lowered its head and saw the two dragon souls, one ice blue and one scarlet, which had exhausted all their energy. A sneer appeared on its face, "A dragon from the barbarian land is worthy of challenging the commander of the Light Dragon Legion. You are such an ignorant piece of trash."

However, just after the giant dragon finished laughing at the two dragon souls, its scarlet eyes turned to one side, fire condensed in its mouth, and a breath of destruction shot out. The terrifying power even caused the space to gradually collapse.

But at this moment, a black shadow rushed out from the depths of darkness, and its speed was so fast that its body twisted into a strange arc, and the destructive dragon breath that almost caused the space to collapse flew past Cheng Xiao's shoulder.

The breath of destruction gave Cheng Xiao a familiar feeling. That's right, these were the light dragons under the throne of the King of Destruction.

"Song of the Fire Dragon." After dodging the attack, Cheng Xiao's body trembled, and he activated the Song of the Fire Dragon, the most powerful magic taught by the orc wizard.

As a magic circle emerged, a huge fire dragon emerged from it, and then a stream of scorching dragon breath spurted out and headed straight for the dragon.

"Orc witchcraft?" Looking at the dragon breath spraying towards itself, the giant dragon didn't even try to dodge. The dragon scales on its body were enough to make it ineffective against any attack. In its eyes, the orc witchcraft was not worthy of its defense.

However, just when the giant dragon was too lazy to defend itself, a black shadow had already arrived on its head, and a sharp blade condensed by the power of shadow suddenly pierced into its head. Before the giant dragon could react, Cheng Xiao launched an upgraded skill to hit its vital points, a random attack!

In an instant, the sharp blade in Cheng Xiao's hand turned into thousands of phantoms, which kept stabbing into the dragon's head at an incredible speed. In order to prevent the dragon from counterattacking, Cheng Xiao even used the power of the ruler. Even though the gap in strength between him and the dragon was too huge, in a battle, underestimating the opponent would be enough to cost him his life, and he would be buried here.

"This power is from the Shadow King!" The dragon in pain wanted to fight back, but when it sensed the strong power of death, it panicked instantly. It kept twisting its huge body and swung its huge dragon tail violently, causing the world at the bottom of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire to begin to shake.

"Pfft!"

A bloody hole was pierced in the dragon's head, and the bright red hot dragon blood flowed out. Cheng Xiao's mouth curled up. In the battle, it is a big deal to underestimate the opponent. This dragon has lost the confidence of winning from the very beginning!
hum!
The space trembled violently, Cheng Xiao's face changed, he stomped his feet hard, and then dodged with a whoosh. As he dodged, two dragon breaths attacked from where he had been standing before. Judging from the icy blue and scarlet dragon breaths, it was obviously done by the two dragon souls.

The sight turned slowly, and the two dragon souls, with the last pride of the dragon clan, launched the last dragon breath towards the giant dragon. With the dual output of the hot dragon breath and the extremely cold dragon breath, the giant dragon's head was completely pierced, and its scarlet eyes lost their light. Its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and the dragon scales that flowed like magma gradually became dark after losing their vitality, until they completely lost their light.

At this moment, Cheng Xiao wanted to curse in his heart. These two dragon souls were obviously planning to kill him together. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, otherwise, the previous attack would have been enough to pierce him. Didn’t he see that the dragon’s head was shot through?
However, fortunately, no one was hurt, so after Cheng Xiao cursed himself for a few words, he came to the location of the giant dragon's corpse. The two dragon souls also lost their original light, and the illusory bodies seemed to dissipate in the next moment.
