Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2641: Chapter 2640: Obtaining Dragon Saliva Fragrant Grass!

As Lin Dong ventured deeper into the ancient and mysterious Earth Dragon Palace, the surrounding air seemed to grow heavier, with each breath feeling like a conversation with the ages.

The light here became exceptionally stingy, with only the flame condensed by Inner Qi in his hand emitting a faint yet determined glow to guide his way.

He carefully stepped into this unknown domain, with each step extraordinarily cautious.

Suddenly, the path ahead opened up, revealing a sight unlike any he had seen before—an unprecedented dragon valley shrouded in thick black fog, so profound it seemed to swallow all light.

Amid the fog, a deep and reverberating dragon roar could faintly be heard, instilling awe.

The flame in Lin Dong’s hand, condensed with Inner Qi, was the only illumination in this place.

At the moment, its light, piercing through the thick black fog, illuminated a land forgotten by time, revealing flashes of silver gleaming objects.

These were dragon bones scattered across the ground, each exuding an extraordinary aura, as if telling tales of past glory and tragedy.

He looked around, seeing that in front of these massive dragon bones, without exception, stood simple yet solemn stone tombs, tall or short, scattered in orderly fashion, like a final tribute from the Earth Dragon Clan to their deceased.

A mysterious reverence surged in Lin Dong’s heart, as he realized he had stepped into a sacred yet dangerous place.

This was the Dragon Tomb of the Earth Dragon Clan!

"Is this the resting place of the Earth Dragons?" Lin Dong whispered to himself, his voice echoing with a faint reverberation in the vast valley.

He knew well that dragons, since ancient times, have possessed extraordinary wisdom and dignity, choosing to return to nature at life’s end, seeking a land that could carry their glory and strength as their eternal resting place.

Just as Lin Dong was immersed in this solemn and majestic atmosphere, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "It is said that the Dragon Saliva Fragrant Grass grows in such dragon tombs, using the breath of dead dragons as nourishment, to bloom with a unique fragrance and medicinal power."

This thought, like the brightest star in the night sky, instantly illuminated the purpose of his journey.

His gaze shifted to the seemingly inconspicuous, faintly blood-colored grasses surrounding him.

There, on the side wall of the dragon valley, strange-looking grasses stubbornly grew, their leaves as delicate as dragon scales, the most captivating being the blood-colored fruits at their tops, resembling tiny dragons.

These grasses, juxtaposed with the dragon bones and stone tombs, appeared even more mysterious and unfathomable.

Lin Dong squatted down for a closer look, noticing that what seemed to be dewdrops on the grass blades were actually essences containing faint Spiritual Energy, shimmering alluringly in the morning light.

"That’s right, this is the Dragon Saliva Fragrant Grass!"

Overjoyed, Lin Dong quickly calmed down.

He well understood that in this perilous dragon valley, any seemingly simple gain could come with immense risk.

He carefully surveyed his surroundings, confirming no unusual movements, and slowly approached the Dragon Saliva Fragrant Grass.

As he neared, a faint fragrance reached his nose, carrying the majesty of dragon breath and the natural ethereal rhythm, refreshing and exhilarating.

With utmost care, Lin Dong picked a blood-colored fruit, fearing to disturb this slumbering dragon valley.

However, as he prepared to leave, a more intense dragon roar suddenly erupted, shaking the entire valley.

In the swirling black fog, a pair of massive dragon eyes appeared, as if some ancient and formidable existence had been awakened by his actions.

At the same moment, as the dragon roar echoed, the black fog within the valley churned violently, with countless phantom dragon shadows darting through the mist, eventually converging into a colossal dragon soul, its body obscuring the sky, its momentum overwhelming, no weaker than the Earth Dragon Emperor he encountered before.

Those deep dragon eyes locked onto Lin Dong, exuding intense killing intent, clearly indicating that the guardian of this dragon valley would not tolerate any intruders touching its treasured domain.

"Those who trespass upon the Earth Dragon Tomb shall die!!!" The dragon soul bellowed a vast dragon roar, speaking in human tongue while descending a dark dragon might!

Chilled to the core, Lin Dong instantly realized the danger.

"Boom!"

The dark dragon might, like a black pillar of light, descended toward Lin Dong. Its power was no less than a full-force strike from a Fourth Heaven Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.

Not daring to take it lightly, Lin Dong quickly employed his skills to defend.

Without hesitation, he swiftly sealed gestures with both hands, his Inner Qi and Infinite Force surging, instantly condensing the Wuji Defense Temple.

With a low shout, the divine temple rapidly expanded into a radiant screen, securely shielding him within, successfully fending off the initial fierce attack from the dragon soul.

Just as Lin Dong prepared to further respond, a familiar and anxious voice suddenly echoed in his mind, it was Yun Ruoxian’s voice, carrying a barely noticeable gasp:

"Lin Dong, quickly hide! There is a cave on the side wall here. For some unknown reason, that dragon soul dares not enter. Sister Yun, Tian Kong, and the others are hiding inside. You must hurry in!"

Upon hearing this, warmth surged in Lin Dong’s heart, along with a sense of relief.

It turned out Yun Ruoxian and the others had not met with misfortune but had found such a safe haven.

He swiftly surveyed the surroundings, locking onto the hidden cave entrance based on the direction of Yun Ruoxian’s voice.

Without further hesitation, Lin Dong quickly made his decision.

He swiftly picked a Dragon Saliva Fragrant Grass, then transformed into a stream of light, using the concealment of the Wuji Defense Temple to skillfully evade the dragon soul’s pursuit, heading straight for the cave.

The cave entrance was shrouded in a faint yellow light, appearing mysterious and peaceful.

As Lin Dong rushed into the cave, he distinctly felt the overwhelming pressure outside sharply diminish, as if stepping into another world.

Those formidable dragon souls, which had been relentlessly pursuing him, stopped at the cave’s edge, only roaring in frustration, before finally retreating helplessly into the dark depths of the dragon valley.

Standing firm, Lin Dong glanced back at the gradually calming cave entrance, breathing a sigh of relief.

He knew well it was Yun Ruoxian and the others’ timely discovery and warning that spared him from a potentially fatal crisis.

Inside the cave, Yun Ruoxian, Tang Yun, and Tian Kong had awaited his arrival, their faces filled with post-crisis relief and joy at reunion.

However, at that moment, an untimely voice rang out:

"Lin Dong, you’re not dead yet? The Earth Dragon Emperor didn’t kill you before?!"

The speaker was Aidan!

Upon hearing his abrupt and unpleasant words, Lin Dong’s expression turned cold instantly.

Aidan was indeed eager for him to die.
