Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 34 – See the light again

Digging out the dragon bones from the Zang Long Ling was a grand project. The true dragon's tail alone was over a hundred feet long, covered with trees, shrubs, and thorny bushes. They had to slowly dig through the soil and clear away the vegetation.

Su Yun and the four fox demons worked from sunrise to sunset for over a month to completely clear the Zang Long Ling and fully expose the dragon bones.

During this time, Su Yun took advantage of the North Sea tide and went to the seaside several times to catch some blue rainbow crabs to exchange for money.

At the end of September, the sea breeze became a little chilly, and by October, the temperature dropped sharply, and the autumn wind was bleak. However, there was no hint of coldness in Tianmen Town. It was close to the Zang Long Ling, and there were many hot springs near the Zang Long Ling. The Crocodile Dragon Pool was a huge hot spring that made the town feel like spring all year round.

The Crocodile Dragon Pool was also a treasure trove that nourished many crocodile dragons.

The creek water in the Zang Long Ling was also warm, and in the late autumn and winter, hot steam would rise from it.

Su Yun and the four fox demons stood on a high point of the Zang Long Ling, looking down at the entire valley and the full view of the dragon bones.

Su Yun urged the Hong Furnace to transform, agitated his blood and carefully controlled it to his eyes. In his pupils, the immortal sword and the mark of Tianmen Town were rotating and receding from all around.

Gradually, his vision went from darkness to light, from blurry to clear. Su Yun greedily looked at the Zang Long Ling, the dragon bones lying in the valley, the plants and trees, and the two buildings at the beginning and end. He then turned his head and looked at the scattered stone tablets on various hills, and finally his gaze fell on the little fox by his side.

Although he couldn't hold on for long and needed to close his eyes to recover his vitality, the feeling of seeing the light again was really good!

Su Yun bowed to the dragon bones, stood up straight, raised his hand, and pointed to the dragon bones in the valley. He laughed loudly and said, "Let's get to work!"

The four fox demons also bowed to the dragon bones and laughed heartily, shouting, "Let's get to work!"

They started with the overall view of the dragon bones, observing the dragon bones from different angles and imitating the structure of a real dragon with their blood and qi.

Su Yun even took out the Immortal Rope, climbed into the air, and observed the trend of the dragon bones and the position of the dragon claws from a bird's-eye view.

Six days later, they came closer and carefully outlined the structure of the dragon's bones, including the tail bone, leg bone, toe bone, inner cavity bone wall, cranial cavity inner wall, and so on. Su Yun even observed the cross-section of the dragon marrow and studied the internal structure of the bones.

"This cross-section of the bone marrow was caused by humans and demons. With their terrifying destructive power, they injured the true dragon in dozens of places, causing it to be fatally wounded!"

During these days, Su Yun and the four fox demons ate, drank, and studied at the Zang Long Ling, only leaving when the dragon's spirit appeared at sunset.

"The dragon's bones are so much more than ours. The human body only has over two hundred bones, while the dragon bones have 1,068!"

Su Yun looked at the area below the dragon and his face turned slightly red. "Bones even grow in those places, and there are also scales like spines."

In the past two days, they had encountered a bottleneck and could not gain more knowledge from the dragon bones.

This was due to their lack of accumulation.

Insufficient accumulation, even if billions of wealth were placed in front of them, they would not recognize it, and even if they entered a treasure mountain, they would return empty-handed.

The profound mysteries hidden in the dragon bones were too many, but also extremely profound. Su Yun and Hua Hu had studied in the academy of the Fox Clan for many years, but their foundation was still inferior to the scholars of the Heavenly Dao Academy. They could only gain superficial knowledge from the structure of the dragon bones and could not obtain more profound mysteries.Even so, their Crocodile Dragon's Roar and Jiao Dragon's Roar had undergone earth-shattering changes!

Hua Hu was the first to transform from the Crocodile Dragon's Roar to the Jiao Dragon's Roar. His Jiao Dragon was vivid and lifelike, and even more exquisite than Su Yun in terms of form and charm. Although he was somewhat lacking compared to Su Yun, there were not many scholars who could achieve such a feat.

The other three little foxes also made significant progress, closely following Hua Hu.

Originally, their Jiao Dragon's Roar was only superficial and lacked substance, but now, with bones, the power of the Jiao Dragon's Roar had skyrocketed!

"A real dragon has so many bones. The bones are connected to the muscles, which means that the dragon's meridians and muscles are five times more than those of humans!"

Su Yun couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp. The difference between the human and dragon body was not just five times.

The dragon's bone density is five times that of humans, the number of bones is five times that of humans, the meridians are five times that of humans, the muscles are five times that of humans, the breath is five times that of humans, and the blood flow rate is five times that of humans. These numbers are not added together, but multiplied!

Moreover, Su Yun had not even calculated the difference in the internal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

If these were taken into account, the gap between humans and dragons would only be greater!

"The only place where humans and dragons can shorten the gap is the flexible brain."

The young man's vision gradually became dim, and he gently closed his eyes. "This is the reason why humans are the most intelligent of all creatures. If the body is inferior to the dragon in every aspect, then by studying and mastering the powerful secrets of the dragon, it can become one's own technique and magic, and strengthen one's body."

His clothes suddenly trembled, and then his chest rose and fell, with an increasingly large amplitude.

"Roar!"

"Roar! Roar!"

A burst of dragon's roar came from his chest, and he saw that his back was getting wider and wider. Suddenly, a powerful force burst out, tearing his clothes apart!

Hua Hu and the other fox demons were startled. They saw that Su Yun's muscles on his back were arranged in vertical lines like ribs inserted diagonally into the spine!

His back became twice as wide as usual, and the muscle lines on his back were more than double. In addition, the taut tendons and bulging blood vessels made Su Yun's back present a violent beauty!

Swish-

The dragon tattoo emerged, and the Jiao Dragon opened its mouth and claws, wandering on his back, slowly stretching its body and lying on his back.

.

Compared with the previous dragon tattoo, this time the dragon tail was coiled outside, and the dragon head was in the center. Coupled with Su Yun's slender waist and broad back, narrow at the bottom, it looked like a grand image of a dragon coiling around the sky!

"Xiaoyun used real dragon ribs on himself!"

Hua Hu immediately saw the mystery. Su Yun did not grow real dragon ribs, but simulated them with Qi and blood, doubling the number of his own ribs.

Not only that, he also imitated more muscles and tendons with Qi and blood!

He had not dissected a real dragon, but only speculated that there should be these muscles and tendons based on the dragon bones. Even so, his explosive power had increased significantly!

Su Yun dissipated his Qi and blood, and his body returned to normal. The muscles on his face trembled, and Hua Hu quickly asked, "Xiaoyun, did your Qi and blood get stuck?"

"No, I just lost another piece of clothing."

Su Yun looked regretful. His clothes were still fine in the front, but they had become strips in the back, which was quite cool.

"I saved two new clothes for myself to go to the city. If I wear them now, they won't be new when I go to the city."

The young man tied the tattered cloth strips on his back together and said, "I'll be laughed at by the people in the city."The cold wind howled through the valley like the horn of winter when Su Yun and his companions left the Tomb of the Dragon. As they stepped out, feathers of snow began to fall from the sky.

Before the snowflakes could reach the Tomb of the Dragon, they were melted into raindrops by the hot steam and fell on them, carrying a hint of chilliness.

The further they walked, the colder the weather became. Su Yun and Hua Hu hurried back to Tianmen Town. Su Yun hesitated for a moment but couldn't resist changing into his new clothes.

Tianmen Town was not affected by the Tomb of the Dragon and only experienced rainfall. However, the snow outside the town quickly covered the earth, trees, and everything else in a silver-white coat.

The next morning, Su Yun woke up, put on his clothes, and pushed open the door. A gust of cold wind hit him, dissipating the heat on his body.

Hua Hu and the other fox demons were not at home. Su Yun opened the door and saw the wet ground of Tianmen Town and the gloomy sky overhead. In the distance, the mountains, trees, and roads were all covered in snow.

The sound of chirping birds came from outside the town. Su Yun saw several large birds standing on the trees, each about half the height of a person. A few foxes were hunting in the snow not far from the trees.

Hua Hu was the leader, crouching in the snow with his head tilted, occasionally looking around. Suddenly, he seemed to see his prey digging through the snow, and he jumped up, head down and feet up, falling over.

His head was deeply buried in the snow, leaving only his big tail wagging.

Hua Hu crawled out of the snow, his nose bleeding from hitting a stone under the snow. However, he had also caught a groundhog, the favorite food of the foxes in Tianmen Town.

Li Xiaofan, Hu Buping, and Qing Qiuyue were also imitating Hua Hu in the snow. Sometimes they were lucky enough to catch a groundhog, but sometimes they ended up with a nosebleed.

Su Yun watched this scene with a peaceful heart. Suddenly, he froze, "My eyes..."

He had woken up, and his vision had returned.

The furnace in his body was burning fiercely, with six layers of flames, the outermost of which was pure blue.

His furnace had transformed into the Qi Cultivating Chapter, and he had unconsciously cultivated to the sixth level.

He knew it was time to leave Tianmen Town.
