Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 136 The Pearls Fall to the Sky

The skeletons were still coiled around the platform.

Poplar made a small half circle around the outer ring of the skeleton, and suddenly noticed a very strange bone, pressed under the other strings of skeletons.

Poplar was afraid that once he moved the skeleton, the entire interlocking skeleton would fall apart, so he could only tilt his head and look down from between the gaps in the skeleton.

He soon noticed that the top of the bone was bifurcated, much like the claw bone of some kind of animal.

"Looks like this isn't the skeleton of a python!" said Iron Bull, as he followed Poplar and saw the bone that resembled a claw bone.

Poplar nodded and said, "Pythons definitely don't have claws, but it can't be judged that this is a dragon bone! Legend has it that dragons have horns, let's find out if they have horns!"

He said, looking up at the skeleton.

Tie Niu also raised his head, rolled his eyes slightly, and then stretched out his hand to the middle part of the skeleton coil, and said, "Look there, does it look like a dragon's horn?"

Poplar had actually noticed that just below the shining pearl, there were two erected columns.

The color of the cylinder is not as pale as the other bones, but dark and blue. Looking at it from a distance, it is still a little translucent.

The two pillars stood upright on a large bulging piece of white bone, and it felt like two short horns on a skull.

Poplar immediately lowered his head, looking for a place where he could enter the inner circle.

In fact, the skeletons were coiled around the ground, separated by a distance of half a meter between the outer and inner rings.

Moreover, each circle of skeletons is not very wide, and he and the Iron Bull can easily cross over it.

However, for the sake of caution, Poplar still honestly found the tail of the skeleton, turned in through the opening of the tail, and slowly circled to the middle along the gap between the outer and inner rings.

The skeleton was coiled around the ground, and the poplar and the iron bull went around and around it, feeling that it had gone around at least thirty meters, and then it entered the end of the innermost ring of the skeleton.

In other words, the length of the animal's body was at least thirty meters long when it was alive.

However, Poplar and Iron Bull did not look down at the skeleton on the ground for the first time, but looked up at the pearl that exuded dazzling brilliance.

At this time, it is closer, and it can be seen that the pearl is bigger than a ping pong ball.

However, because of its dazzling light, it is impossible to see whether the inside is transparent or not, and it is difficult to tell why it is shining.

Two meters above the pearl, a large piece of yellow sand in the shape of an arch was impacted by an invisible force, which had been rolling and surging for a while, as if it would pour down at any time, but not even a grain of yellow sand had really fallen.

"Why do you think this bead is floating in mid-air?" Iron Bull asked.

"How can I know? There are so many strange things in this dragon tomb that no one will ever know the answer!" replied Poplar.

"Then do you want to take the bead when we leave?" Iron Bull asked again, raising his hand to touch the bead.

Poplar was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his hand away and said, "You are crazy! There is a large piece of yellow sand above your head, if you take this bead, the yellow sand will definitely pour down immediately, and the two of us will not even have a chance to escape, and we will be buried in the sand immediately!"

"Do you think the yellow sand above your head is really held up by the light emitted by this bead?" Iron Bull asked again.

"What do you think?" asked Poplar rhetorically.

Tie Niu had nothing to say, so he could only flatten his mouth and look down at the white bones on the ground.

Poplar also bowed his head, but he couldn't help but let out a "huh" and bent down to take a closer look.

In front of them was a huge skull, at least eighty centimeters high and sixty centimeters wide.

And those two dark cyan pillars grew on the skull of this huge skull.

But what kind of animal bone this skull is, it is difficult for Poplar and Iron Bull to judge, but it is 100% sure that it is not a python, nor a lizard.

Because pythons don't have claws and can't have horns, while lizards have claws, they don't have horns either, and it's unlikely that they have such a long body.

As for these two pillars, since they were born on the skull, they must be the two short horns of this animal.

In fact, these two horns are round and thick, very similar to the legendary dragon horns.

Its texture is not as rough as that of a horn, but delicate and lubricated, and it exudes a warm and transparent luster under the light of the pearl on the top of the head.

"Is this really a dragon's skeleton, with horns and claws!" Iron Bull exclaimed, reaching out and pinching one of the horns, "It's so hard, it's smooth, it feels like jade!"

The poplar also stretched out his hand and pinched the other horn, which was indeed hard and smooth, not like horns, but like made of jade.

"Since this pearl can't be taken with us, should we take this skull back?"

Poplar disagreed, and said, "This skull is so big, even if you have the strength to move it, but if you want to take it with you through that underwater passage, I'm afraid it's even more difficult, right?"

"What do you mean, we still have to go through the underwater passage with suction that I found?" Iron Bull asked with a raised eyebrow.

Poplar glanced around and said, "There is no other way out here, we can only take a risk!"

Tie Niu smiled, lowered his head again, and said, "If only this dragon horn didn't grow together with the skull!"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a "dragon horn" and tried to pull it.

He didn't exert a lot of strength, but the "dragon horn" didn't seem to be a whole with the whole skull, and when he pulled it so lightly, the horn actually fell off immediately, leaving only the skull with a round pit.

Tie Niu was stunned for a moment before he could speak, and suddenly his feet shook, as if the whole high platform suddenly loosened and shook.

Poplar was caught off guard, and one stumbled and almost fell.

Iron Bull was bent over, but he pounced forward because of this sudden shake, he was already grasping a "dragon horn" with one hand, and pressing the other hand on the bulging skull.

The force of the press was violent, and the skull was also slid by him by several inches.

The high platform shook more and more violently, and at the same time, the sound of the rushing water entered the ears, and when I looked at it, the waves of the waterhole below were rolling, and the stone walls around the waterhole were also shaking.

"Is there another earthquake, is there another earthquake?" exclaimed.

Poplar didn't know what was going on, and subconsciously raised his face to look up, but he couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted: "Look at the head, look at the head!"

Tie Niu looked up and couldn't help but be surprised.

Because the pearl above his head that radiated a strong light was originally floating steadily in a direction of more than two meters, but at this moment, the pearl had fallen to about two meters, and it was shaking from side to side, as if it would fall to the ground at any time.

And the overwhelming yellow sand above the pearl, the originally stable round arch bottom, also slanted left and right, feeling as if it was about to fall on the head.

"What did you do, why did this happen?" asked Poplar urgently.

"I'm just pulling off a dragon horn, or I'll put it back!"

Iron Bull replied as he hurriedly tried to refill the round and blunt bottom of the "dragon horn" into the pit on the skull cover.

But no, the pit was too shallow to reload the "dragon horn" into it steadily.

Poplar saw that the pearl was shaking more and more violently, and the yellow sand above his head had begun to fall from all around the high platform, knowing that if there was any further delay, he and the iron bull were afraid that they would die here, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled the iron bull, and shouted: "Don't care, jump into the water and get out of that passage!"

After saying this, a large area of yellow sand has begun to spill overhead.

Poplar had to hold the black sword in one hand and drag the iron bull in the other, and the two of them jumped together over the already scattered circles of skeletons on the ground, and jumped into the water from the shaking high platform.

And the moment I dived into the water, I heard a rumbling sound in my ears, as if the high platform had collapsed entirely.

The Poplar Iron Ox didn't care about anything else, but swam from memory to the suction passage at the bottom of the water.

Both of them knew very well in their hearts that if the passage was blocked by something else that had collapsed, then the two of them would really die here.

Fortunately, soon, Iron Bull sensed the suction first, and immediately swam in the direction from which the suction came from.

The poplar followed, but at the point when he was approaching the entrance of the cave, he suddenly felt the light shining brightly, and the pearl fell into the water, as if it was also sucked by the suction.

Without hesitation, Poplar reached out and grabbed the pearl, and immediately followed the whirlwind, his entire body followed by the iron bull, and was sucked in by the powerful suction.
