CHAPTER 862: CHAPTER 872: DRAGON CORPSE

If it were someone else, they would definitely open the coffin immediately to search for the treasures inside.

This is the Founding Emperor of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, there must be no shortage of burial treasures.

Chu Feng seemed completely uninterested in that coffin, instead, his eyes were fixed on a dragon corpse behind the coffin.

With azure scales, antler-like dragon horns, a grim and fierce dragon head, a winding gigantic body, robust dragon claws... and the majestic aura emanating from the dragon corpse, all indicate that this is a real dragon.

Compared to this Azure Dragon, the Crimson Dragon that Chu Feng killed before could only be considered a small worm.

"If my guess is correct, the Abnormal Fire should be inside the body of the Azure Dragon!"

Chu Feng gazed at the massive dragon corpse behind the coffin, feeling deeply shaken.

Just being a mount, it was already so powerful.

How strong was the Azure Dragon Heavenly Emperor back in the day?

After carefully observing the situation inside the main tomb, Chu Feng didn’t find any significant danger. He was worried that the strong ones from the Azure Dragon Royal Family might return, so he needed to hurry.

Immediately, he controlled his sword to fly in front of the dragon head, as terrifying fierce aura swept over him.

Even though Chu Feng was battle-hardened, he still felt a tremor in his heart.

This Azure Dragon had been dead for countless years, but even as a mere corpse, it commanded such majesty. When it was alive, perhaps a single breath could extinguish hundreds or thousands of Chu Fengs.

In front of it, Chu Feng felt particularly insignificant, like an ant.

"I need to find a way to open its mouth to draw out the Abnormal Fire inside!" As Chu Feng got closer to the dragon corpse, the Nine Yang Strange Fire became more active.

It was certain that there was an Abnormal Fire inside the dragon corpse.

Moreover, judging by the intensity of the disruption caused by the Nine Yang Strange Fire, it was even stronger than the two Abnormal Fires he had devoured before.

Chu Feng couldn’t help but be filled with anticipation.

The Abnormal Fire inside the Azure Dragon’s corpse was likely ranked extremely high.

Chu Feng tried to use his sword to pry its mouth open, but to no avail. Additionally, the dragon head’s hardness surpassed the Demon Slaying Sword of the Heavenly Divine Weapons. Realizing he couldn’t pry its mouth open and afraid of wasting time, Chu Feng immediately drove the Demon Slaying Sword to fiercely slash at the dragon body.

Bang!

The result was a sword strike akin to hitting diamond, with his Demon Slaying Sword bouncing back. The hardness of the dragon scales was beyond imagination.

Tried various methods but couldn’t break through the dragon corpse, Chu Feng was so frustrated he almost spat blood.

After much hardship and great danger, he finally found the main target.

However, he couldn’t open the dragon corpse, and naturally, couldn’t devour the Abnormal Fire inside either.

With time passing by, Chu Feng grew more anxious.

"Calm down, I have to stay calm!"

Chu Feng forced himself to calmly think of a solution.

"Master, why don’t you check other parts of the dragon corpse? The dragon head is difficult to open, perhaps other parts of its body have wounds. After all, the dragons are one of the strongest Demon Races, and they live even longer than Turtle Demons. Without injury, they almost never die!"

The Demon Eye Evil Spirit King was also helping Chu Feng to come up with ideas.

"Right, why didn’t I think of that!" Chu Feng suddenly slapped his forehead, he had been obsessively thinking about the dragon head just now.

Always wanting to open its mouth and then get inside.

Why insist on this single approach?

Chu Feng immediately followed along the dragon head, all the way to the dragon tail to inspect.

Upon closer inspection, Chu Feng found that the dragon corpse was even longer than he had imagined.

Because it was coiled within the cave. Only the dragon head and a small section of its body were left in the main tomb. Other parts were hidden in the curved cave behind.

The cave, like a winding mountain road, spiraled downward.

The cave was slightly larger than the dragon corpse.

Walking inside, Chu Feng didn’t feel cramped. Compared to the massive dragon corpse, his body appeared especially small.

After exploring for about five hundred meters, Chu Feng estimated he was just at its waist.

At least five or six hundred meters more lay ahead.

This dragon exceeded a kilometer in length.

At about five hundred meters, Chu Feng finally made a discovery. Just like the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King said, at its waist, there was a frightening wound.

A cluster of dragon scales was shattered, and even a large piece had caved in.

No one knew what caused such severe injury back then?

These dragon scales seemed shattered, yet breaking through them was still no small feat. Chu Feng tried using the Demon Slaying Sword to dig into those cracks.

But found the inner flesh equally resilient.

Completely immovable.

"Let the Yin Yang Soul-devouring Ants come out to help!" Chu Feng realized that trying to break a hole through the dragon corpse by himself was extremely challenging.

It would take a minimum of five to six days.

By then, only cold soup would remain.

After letting out ten Yin Yang Soul-devouring Ants, they began to grind their mandibles with a squeak.

"Dig a hole from this position."

Chu Feng pointed at a small wound he had previously dug with the sword and gave them the command.

The ten Yin Yang Soul-devouring Ants immediately obeyed Chu Feng’s order and frantically gnawed at that spot. Their mandibles were incredibly sharp, and they occasionally sprayed ant acid to soften the dragon scale fragments and the flesh inside.

Each has its strength, and every expertise has its specialty.

In the world, everything is mutually reinforcing, even the most useless things can play a significant role in their specialized field.

Despite Chu Feng exerting all his strength, he couldn’t dig in deeply.

The ten Yin Yang Soul-devouring Ants, with a frenzy of gnawing, managed to open a fist-sized hole.

Leading into the dragon corpse.

Breaking through the outer dragon scales and flesh, they reached the bones.

However, the bones of the dragon body were somewhat similar to those of a snake. Besides the main backbone, its ribs were very slender.

And also very soft.

It’s hard to imagine that this Azure Dragon had been dead for so many years and its body showed no signs of decay at all.

"Sizzle!"

A cluster of green-gold flame burst out of the opening. Chu Feng worried about the ten Yin Yang Soul-devouring Ants getting hurt, so he quickly ordered them to dodge.

In truth, there was no need for Chu Feng to be concerned.

His Yin Yang Soul-devouring Ants had evolved to such an extent, they already possessed high spiritual wisdom. Upon encountering danger, they knew to dodge on their own.

They seemed both afraid and excited by the green-gold flame inside the Azure Dragon’s body. Intentionally allowing themselves to be singed, they then shrieked and fled. Once in a safe location, they turned around to devour the green-gold flame on their bodies.

Chu Feng couldn’t help but marvel at the sight.

These little creatures really knew value when they saw it.

The terrifying green-gold flame, upon emerging from the small hole, began to spread around. The temperature inside the cave skyrocketed instantly.

The scorching heatwaves swept over him.

With the protection of the Nine Yang Strange Fire, Chu Feng wasn’t afraid of these green-gold flames.
