Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 454 - 247: Underground Ruins

...

...

Perhaps there’s an influence from a past life.

Even though earth dragons can’t fly, Luo De still liked the earth dragon that resembled a flood dragon in front of him.

"Where did you crawl out from?"

Luo De looked at the earth dragon, full of doubt in his eyes.

If the earth dragon had been here before, then this cave cannot be new, nor could it have been so silent.

If this earth dragon mutated under the influence of an entry, shouldn’t the true dragon lineage inside it be activated by Luo De?

Did it come from Razor Plain?

Luo De felt that something was wrong.

The earth dragon was smart, it understood Luo De’s words, lifted its claw and pointed to the rear Gray Snake Canyon, then retracted its claw, and laid its belly against the ground.

Then, the earth dragon twisted its body, took a few serpentine steps on the ground.

Luo De stared at the earth dragon, carefully pondering its meaning.

"Wait..."

Luo De turned to look at the White Wolf beside him, "You said earlier that this guy’s aura feels familiar, what do you mean?"

"That giant python from Gray Snake Canyon!"

"Right!"

Luo De turned his head to look at the earth dragon, "Are you that giant python?!"

The earth dragon’s dragon head bobbed up and down, confirming Luo De’s guess.

"Then how did you become like this?"

Luo De stared incredulously at the earth dragon.

Although the giant python is a magical beast, it can only be considered a low-level magical beast—at most third-tier.

But the earth dragon is completely different.

Judging by the demeanor of this earth dragon, it is at least a mid-level magical beast, like the White Wolf.

This is a leap across ranks and species.

Was it influenced by its own Lord of Nature entry effect?

No, this guy must have had a fortuitous encounter.

Facing Luo De’s questioning, the earth dragon’s vertical pupils showed a trace of hesitation.

Seeing the earth dragon’s expression, Luo De became more convinced of his suspicion.

"Where did you discover something, tell me."

Luo De spoke with a commanding tone.

The earth dragon timidly shrank its neck and nodded helplessly.

Then it burrowed into the cave.

"Notify Lawrence and Durant, the celebration banquet is postponed."

Luo De ordered, "Light the torches, follow the earth dragon."

...

...

As they ventured deeper, the air inside the cave grew moist and heavy.

Luo De could distinctly smell the fishy odor of soil and the scent of decay.

The earth dragon suddenly froze its body, its head slowly turning to the right, golden vertical pupils staring at the corner.

Luo De halted his steps as well, his hand instinctively gripping the sword hilt at his waist.

Rein pressed against the wall, slowly advanced, and quietly peered around the corner.

The cave ahead shimmered with faint light, making everyone extremely cautious.

Luo De waved his hand, and Vika agilely jumped into the cave, proceeded along the branching path.

A moment later, he swiftly returned, "Lord, there are no signs of life inside."

Luo De asked, "Why is there light?"

"It’s the gemstones on the cave ceiling," Vika reported.

"Gemstones?"

Luo De was intrigued, turned to command the earth dragon,

"You go ahead and lead the way."

However, the earth dragon shrank its neck, its body trembling, clearly afraid of something inside.

Luo De felt helpless.

Is this still a dragon?

So timid.

"Take me there."

Luo De’s voice was calm, gently stroking the earth dragon’s back, "Don’t be afraid."

The earth dragon hesitated for a moment, finally stepping forward, burrowing into the cave.

The passage suddenly opened up ahead, the earth dragon led Luo De into a vast, wide natural cavern.

A weak light trickled down from above, Luo De raised his head.

His breath instantly paused—the walls were inlaid with various extraordinary gemstones, at least twenty of them.

Each was the size of a walnut.

"Magic gemstone, Spirit Gem, Life Gem, the orange one is Earth Gem?"

Luo De squinted his eyes, unusually informed inwardly.

The quantity of these gemstones far exceeded expectations, even more than inside the Wizard Tower.

No wonder it’s so bright.

Gotta pry them all out later.

Luo De regained his focus, took a few steps forward.

His foot landed upon something hard, he glanced downward.

It was a bone.

A gigantic bone.

"Torch."

Luo De gave a command, and the guard immediately brought over the torch,

Various bones scattered on the ground, some seemed to belong to the earth dragon, while others to other beasts.

More skeletal remains were strewn in the corners, some still maintaining complete skeletal structures.

But most were shattered to pieces.

"Interesting... What happened here?"

Luo De curiously murmured under his breath.

The Frost Iron Guards gradually entered, planted torches in every corner, illuminating the cave thoroughly, the scene within the cave gradually became apparent.

Directly ahead of Luo De was a massive stone stele, jutting out obliquely from the ground.

Covered in runes, it was also embedded with some fractured bone fragments and gemstones.

Many more steles surrounded the area, forming a circle, but most were buried beneath soil and rubble.

Luo De moved forward, brushed away the dirt on top, revealing extraordinary gemstones within.

Now this is true fortune.

Luo De surveyed the steles with delight, discovering the inscriptions above were unlike any he had ever seen.

Not inscriptions of an alien race, not savage, nor wizard texts.

The lines curved like snakes, sharp like claws, each symbol radiating a sense of primal power.

"Can we decipher it?"

Luo De turned to Vivian and asked.

"Sorry, Baron."

Vivian shook her head, "I’m quite sure we have no records of ancient texts, at least not in the estate."

"Hmm."

Luo De nodded, unfazed.

Not everyone is an encyclopedia, it’s normal.

Luo De withdrew his gaze, surveyed the peculiar items scattered around the stele.

There were enormous teeth, horns, scales, and some scattered metal fragments.

Also, huge transparent snake skin fragments—these looked like they belonged to the earth dragon.
