Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 136: Dragon Skeleton
Harvey and the others did not waste too long at the meeting point. They quickly transformed into several streams of light condensed from mental power and flew towards the target location, following the "Mind Hunter" leading the way.

The distribution of energy pipelines in the magic network space is completely irregular, but if a vacuum zone appears somewhere, it means that there is a high probability that there is a crack channel connecting to the real world or another space.

And this vacuum zone they have just arrived at is exactly like that.

The five people carefully flew to the edge of this vacuum zone and observed it through mental perception instead of normal vision.

Because Harvey secretly incorporated his own magic pattern into his own projection, he could easily use the powerful mental anchor to directly scan this vacuum area.

"There's a hidden space rift directly ahead at ten o'clock. That should be the entrance to the ruins, right?"

As soon as Harvey spoke, the Son of Fire immediately turned to look at him, his tone somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect Mr. Kel'Thuzad's mental perception to be so strong that he could find the entrance so quickly."

In fact, he was secretly confused. Didn't the Quinn brothers keep saying that the other party was a wild alchemist? Why did he behave like a high-level arcane spellcaster?

As we all know, among all spellcasters, the ones who are best at mental perception and manipulation are arcane spellcasters who specialize in astrological magic.

The Mind Hunter nodded slowly and said, "Indeed, I have discovered three naturally occurring rift entrances in this ruin, but the one Mr. Kel'Thuzad found is the closest to us..."

The Son of Flame immediately said, "Then what are we waiting for? Everyone, prepare to enter the rift." He then turned to the silent brothers in the mirror and urged, "Hey, you two conjoined twins, take out your food tools and get to work!"

The brothers in the mirror chuckled, and the two tightly connected projections looked at each other. Then, each of them transformed into a semicircular metal sphere from the shadow, which floated out from the chest and finally merged into one to form a smooth silver sphere.

The sphere hovered in the air for a moment, then shot out like a cannonball, drilling into the space crack at a speed unobservable to the naked eye.

Harvey's mind moved, and he guessed that this thing should be the same as the one used by the Burning Lord and others last time. It is a high-level magic weapon that can be brought into the magic network space by the user, and should have the function of detecting and sensing danger.

"How's it going? What's going on inside?"

"It's very strange... I have never seen such nest ruins, but we don't sense any danger for the time being. We can go in first..." The people in the mirror said in unison, and flew towards the crack without looking back.

Harvey and others followed suit and threw themselves into the hidden space crack.

……

What a colorful world! This was the exclamation from the bottom of Harvey's heart after he entered this crack.

But this place is slightly different from the real world. All the colors seem to be several times darker, and are weirdly spliced together in a very uncoordinated and unmatched form.

For example, the ground under your feet is not the normal brown-gray color of soil or rock, but a large area of rich fluorescent green, with some irregular blocks of bright pink in the middle.

"Damn, right now I really wish I were color blind!" The Son of Fire stood still on the ground, looked around, and couldn't help but complain.

The colors of this space are too complex. A normal person will subconsciously feel dizzy after staying there for a short while due to the visual impact of the strong colors.

The Mind Hunter sighed softly at this time, "I can probably guess that this is the remains of a lair left behind by some ancient creature after its death..."

Harvey heard the disappointment in his tone and quickly asked, "Mr. Mindhunter, do you know the origin of this relic?"

"Hmm... I've heard of it before. Look at these rich, vibrant colors in this space." He waved his long, twisted arm, scooping up a large lump of fluorescent material from the ground. He shook it, letting it drift away in the wind, transforming it into a puff of fine, glowing dust. "The seven-colored dragon... After the death of this creature, the divine qualities of the ancient dragons within its body, combined with the residual energy of the magical creature itself, gradually alter the surrounding space over time..."

The two people in the mirror reached out their hands at the same time, picked up a piece of fluorescent substance from the colorful stone pillar next to them, and stuffed it directly into the gap of the mouth that appeared in their phantom heads, and made a strange chewing sound in public.

Harvey was stunned. No, this was a strange space rift. How could he just pick up anything and put it in his mouth?

"Hmm... I think Mr. Mind Hunter is right. All the materials here are rich in infected magical energy. It seems that this colorful dragon died too long ago. Its remains should not contain anything valuable to us..."

The Mind Hunter's tone was a little apologetic, "I'm sorry, I didn't think more before providing the intelligence on this operation. I didn't realize there wasn't anything here worth the risk..."

The Son of Flame shook his head and turned to the figure in the mirror, still unwilling to give up. "Siamese Twins, your soul artifact hasn't found the location of that... Asian dragon's remains yet? Let's try our luck there. Maybe we can find something."

Harvey chose to remain silent and did not offer any opinions. He had never even heard of the name of a creature like the seven-colored dragon, and had no idea what valuable things would be left after the death of this ancient dragon-like creature. Silence and exposing his ignorance was the best choice.

While everyone was talking, the metal sphere drew an arc and returned along the barrier at the edge of the space. The brothers in the mirror immediately stretched out their arms and made direct contact with the sphere.

"The space here isn't very large. Flying forward for about half an hour will lead us to the remains of the sub-dragon. However, they've almost completely weathered away. Let's go take a look."

……

The group quickly passed through a dazzlingly colorful area and arrived at the remains of the legendary long-extinct seven-colored dragon.

This was the first time in Harvey's life that he truly saw the true appearance of the so-called ancient dragon creatures.

Unfortunately, it was not a living dragon, but the remains of a subspecies of dragon that had decayed and disintegrated long after its death.

But one can still glimpse the terrifying pressure of the dragon creature through the skeleton of this creature, which is as huge as half a castle.

There were still a large number of mottled, rich colored blocks on the scattered and crumbling dragon skeleton, especially on the skull that had been broken into several pieces. The rich colored blocks were infecting and merging with each other, and seemed to be flowing slowly as if they were alive. Harvey felt dizzy after just staring at it for a few seconds.

It was a strange, abstract, and bizarre sight.

The inner demon slowly approached the sub-dragon's remains, extending a twisted arm to caress the broken skeleton, causing the already dilapidated and shattered bone fragments to fall. "Judging from the degree of decay, the time of death can be traced back to at least a thousand years ago, which was the heyday of the giant dragon clan. This sub-dragon must have died of natural weakness due to old age."

When the dragon clan reaches adulthood, a dragon crystal will naturally form in their body. This thing is like the magic pattern of other short-lived spellcasters. It is the core that they rely on to store energy and release their innate abilities.

Dragon crystal will reach maturity when a dragon is in its prime, which also means that the dragon has officially entered the peak of its strength, and both its physical strength and innate abilities are at their peak.

After entering the aging period, the dragon crystal will gradually shrink and dissipate like they did when they were young, until they truly enter eternal death, and the dragon crystal will disappear along with their lives.

“Even I only learned about dragon crystals from some precious magic books. It is said that they are used in the creation of legendary magic tools and in the ceremonies for high-level spellcasters of certain factions to be promoted to legendary levels.” The Son of Flame sighed, expressing his great regret for not being able to see this legendary precious magic material with his own eyes during this exploration.

It is impossible for dragon crystal to be found in the natural remains of a dragon that died of normal aging.

The chances of dragon crystals being left behind in the bodies of dragons that died accidentally or were killed were also extremely small. After all, dragons were creatures that ordinary people could not easily deal with, and there was no reason why those who could actually kill them would not take away this most precious harvest.
