Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

Three colossal dragon statues stand majestically in front, their imposing presence like Mount Tai pressing down on you, reaching right up to your brow!

The one at the very center is the Eastern Divine Dragon summoned by the Dragon-Summoning Flute.

Its horns are sharp and towering like jade pillars supporting the sky, its scales are densely covered like golden patterns on the sun, its four claws tread on clouds, its whiskers are flowing, and its body is surrounded by a faint spiritual aura, showing the holiness and majesty of an ancient divine beast.

The one on the left is a super-enlarged version of the dragon carved on the Rising Dragon statue.

It also possesses the pure charm of the East, with a body that meanders like a rainbow lying on the water, eyes that shine like cold stars falling in the night, and a dragon tail that sways gently to create a whistling wind. Every line reveals a magnificent ambition to soar through the clouds and reach the heavens.

The fanged dragon on the right is comparable in size to the two Eastern dragons, with only slight differences in the details of its scale patterns, but a clear distinction is drawn in its face.

The sharp lines of the Western dragon blend perfectly with the majestic physique of the Eastern dragon, especially the pair of giant fangs in its mouth that are nearly a hundred meters long, as if forged from black iron, with a chilling light.

It carries both the imposing aura of an Eastern mythical beast and the unruly ferocity of a Western dragon. The fusion of East and West creates an unparalleled domineering presence that inspires awe and inspires awe, making one dare not utter the slightest disrespect.

The three giant dragons are all depicted in a lifelike, surging forward posture.

Visually, these three dragons appear to have been carved from a single massive stone in one go.

In Chen Xi's understanding, only materials of the meteorite level could achieve this.

Chen Xi raised his head and looked at the fanged dragon.

He did not reach out to touch it.

According to the theory of the art exhibition assumed yesterday, guests are not allowed to touch the paintings hanging on the wall.

Just to be on the safe side, Chen Xi and Yang Wei did not intend to touch any items in the area.

If the thief triggers the security again, wouldn't he be dead?

Chen Xi could only handle one of those golden lizard snakes at most.

......

Among the top 10 prohibited items, three contain the character for "dragon".

From lowest to highest, they are:

Number 10: Rising Dragon.

Number 9: Dragon Summoning Flute.

Number 7: Dragon Tooth.

This corresponds exactly to the positions of the three statues here, from left to right.

In terms of biological appearance, dragons are absolutely majestic and imposing.

Whether it's strong or not is another matter, but on the path of "looking very strong," the dragon has reached its end.

The three giant dragon statues here are meticulously sculpted, perfectly replicating the real thing.

Although Chen Xi had never seen the Dragon Fang, a forbidden item, he could tell from the other two forbidden items he possessed.

The dragon's teeth must also resemble those of a fanged dragon.

But now, something very, very small has made these three dragons no longer so terrifying.

They were even somewhat pitiful.

Collar!

The area slightly below the heads of the three giant dragons is considered the neck. Chen Xi wasn't sure if this term was correct because he didn't know whether dragons had necks.

In short, at what should be the neck, all three dragons had a collar on them.

The collar and the unidentified stone from which the dragon is carved are not the same color.

The necklace is silver and has a metallic feel.

"Walk."

Chen Xi carried Yang Wei as they flew on their swords. The dragon was so large that many parts were impossible to see clearly without switching perspectives.

The two of them arrived near the dragon's head in a flash.

Standing below, all you can see is the collar and a very thin line connected to it.

Once we got up there, the view was much clearer.

The very thin line wasn't actually that thin; it was about the thickness of Chen Xi's arm.

However, it seems rather thin to use it for walking a dragon, like walking a dog.

Following the thin line, Chen Xi and his companion quickly spotted its end.

A strange coffin lay starkly in the distance, showing no signs of age, yet exuding a deep-seated mystery and chill.

The coffin was enormous, its 300-meter-long body resembling a lurking beast, and its 100-meter width further highlighting its imposing and eerie presence. As it lay quietly, it exuded a solemn sense of isolation from the world.

What's most amazing is that the color of the coffin is exactly the same as that of the mysterious collar, as if they came from the same source.

Upon closer inspection, it was astonishing to discover that the three collars were not attached later, but rather integrated with the coffin as if they had grown naturally, with seamless lines, as if they had been inseparable since the coffin was created.

The coffin, complete with three collars, adds an air of mystery and eeriness, as if a shocking secret lies dormant within.

If the scene before us were painted in a picture, it would look exactly like three giant dragons pulling a coffin forward.

"Three dragons pulling a coffin."

Chen Xi summed up the scene before him in one sentence.

"Boss, who exactly is this important person in this coffin?"

"They actually had three giant dragons, each a kilometer long, 'carry' him in a sedan chair?"

"That's pretty high-class."

Chen Xi did not answer, but said with a solemn expression:

"I don't know if it's high-class or not, but this coffin seems to be a single piece, completely sealed off. If there really is something inside, it probably means they don't want 'him' to come out."

"Seriously, boss! Are we leaving now?"

Chen Xi shook his head and uttered a profound statement: "Since we're already here!" "Let's go over and take a look. There seems to be something above that coffin."

Whoosh!

The two quickly arrived at the location of the coffin, but the cold or mysterious aura that Chen Xi had expected did not appear.

It was as if the coffin in front of him was just a giant rock.

"Boss, look."

Yang Wei pointed downwards as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret.

At the very bottom of the coffin, a gap was constantly flashing with lights of various colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

Every so often, these lights would spread out like ripples, injecting energy into the buildings of this enormous city.

"Is this why this 'Dragon Palace' building lights up?"

"Dragon Palace?"

"Yes, Dragon Palace, that's the new name I gave to this enormous city," Chen Xi explained. "These buildings are ridiculously large, plus these three giant dragons."

And those golden, shimmering lizards resembling shrimp soldiers and crab generals—the name "Dragon Palace" suits them perfectly.

"The light source beneath this coffin is probably the energy source of this dragon palace. Let's leave it alone and not touch it; this is not within our current reach."

Although extraordinary individuals entered the first level of the Black Tower long ago, many things about this place remain a mystery.

For example, the most common safe zones and doom zones.

What are the dangers within the safe zone?

What kind of misfortune does the Misfortune Zone bring to Tier III powerhouses?

These things, and many other things, have simply not been cracked by anyone.

It's simply a summary of the current situation.

It remains a mystery.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xi led Yang Wei to continue flying forward on their swords.

The two arrived above the coffin.

Chen Xi had noticed some familiar things on the coffin a long time ago.

"It really was this..."

On the top of the coffin, where the lid is located, there are three grooves of different sizes and shapes.

Chen Xi recognized at a glance that the three grooves corresponded to the three forbidden items.

Similar to the order of the three dragons, from left to right they are the Rising Dragon, the Dragon Summoning Flute, and the Dragon Fang.

Chen Xi had never seen a dragon tooth before, but he could deduce from the shape of the mold that it was a knife about half a meter long.

The hilt below is shaped like a fanged dragon, and those two seemingly aggressive fangs are actually handguards.

That is, the horizontal part between the blade and the handle.

The overall image resembles a fanged dragon with a knife protruding from its mouth.

"There seem to be words on the boss's sign!"

Yang Wei suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the middle section of the coffin.

The coffin was only 300 meters long, so Chen Xi didn't need to move it; he could see it just by looking up.

But when he lifted it up, he was completely dumbfounded:

"The sleeping, uncrowned dragon..."

An incredulous voice came from Chen Xi's mouth!
